Where to Find a Marvelous Mid-Week Lunch in Portland
"This Southeast Belmont Thai restaurant is a cheery spot for a mid-week lunch, with plush, rose-pink bar stools and robin’s egg blue booths. The food matches the decor — dishes here are colorful and bright, crunchy salad rolls followed by a lime-laden larb. Rukdiew also serves some of the finest khao soi in the city, with a brick-red slick of chile oil floating above a nuanced broth teeming with cinnamon and coriander. It’s best paired with a Cherry Blossom, a nonalcoholic cocktail made with pomegranate juice and lychee." - Rebecca Roland, Brooke Jackson-Glidden
