"This Northwest Portland Thai restaurant from Akkapong Earl Ninsom is often buzzing with excited energy in the evening, when diners gather at the chef’s counter for Langbaan’s tasting menu or order rib-eyes and pork chops on the main menu. Lunch is a much more relaxed affair: Sitting out in the heated, pink train car outside or at one of the indoor tables, diners order standards like pad see ew, massaman curry, and pork belly fried rice, perhaps alongside a glass of Thai iced tea — spiked as a clarified milk punch, if the day is ending early. The restaurant also offers takeout curries and noodles for lunch." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
