The 38 Essential Restaurants and Food Carts in Portland

"The original carts are gone, but Nong's Khao Man Gai’s restaurant spaces on Southeast Ankeny and Southwest 13th are still kicking, serving chef Nong Poonsukwattana’s signature dish: a deceptively simple take on Hainanese chicken. Ask five acolytes their favorite part of the dish and each will offer a different answer: the soul-satisfying broth, the truly perfect rice, Nong's ginger-heavy sauce, or the chicken itself, skins or no. Poonsukwattana’s story is one of dogged perseverance; that has not changed." - Eater Staff
