"Portland might be known for its cobblestone streets and lobster, but there’s a large Cambodian American community that started to arrive in the late 1970s. And Oun Lidos, from the crew behind Công Tử Bột, is serving the most interesting Cambodian food in the city right now. The spicy, tender lemongrass beef skewers and deeply flavorful twice-fried lemon chicken are the standouts, as are the noodle dishes like the mi goreng, a stir-fry with frilly egg noodles and a sweet soy curry sauce. They recently added a large space upstairs for indoor dining, but you can still order at their counter downstairs and post up at nearby Tommy’s Park to enjoy it all." - alana dao 2
