Where to Eat and Drink in Portland’s Montavilla Neighborhood | Eater Portland
"Powerhouse restaurateur Akkapong Earl Ninsom makes each new expansion of his restaurant empire a unique, daring enterprise, often serving as an opportunity to collaborate with other Portland talents. Yaowarat, Ninsom’s latest, conjures the tastes of Bangkok’s Chinatown in a vibrant dining room, drawing in the talents of seasoned chef Sam Smith and Expatriate’s Kyle Linden Webster. A shared dinner order might include crispy bean curd dumplings, egg noodles with pork gravy, shiitake mushroom fried rice, and roast pork with three spicy sauces. Here, the specials rotate frequently, cocktails are ingenious, and Sundays offer barbecued Cantonese duck." - Nathan Williams
