[1st TRIP] Pad Thai Nachos: lots of complex Thai flavors and textures... in a VERY GOOD way. The wonton crunch even endured the trip to my house (in fact, every order below was to-go). I will get this again. Coconut Mushroom Linguini: as excellent as so many other reviewers have noted. The mushrooms were king oyster, shimeji and/or tea tree. Tons of umami, and just the right amount of heat, fresh&bright/acidity (raw greens&lime), and density (from the fantastic noodles). This is unique. [2nd TRIP] Samosas: disappointing. Small and unremarkable, especially for the price, even though I know how labor intensive it is to make these (and ravioli, etc.). The dipping sauce was equally ordinary. See Ew: Excellent! Think you'll be overloaded with noodles to pad out bulk for this dish? WRONG. It was just the right amount, with generous (pro)portions of flavorful tempeh, tofu, bok choy, and shiitake (JUST egg too). Think the flavor wouldn't have the richness that a meat dish would? WRONG. I'm not vegan, and I've had dozens of versions of this dish, from vegan to every kind of meat. This was the best I've ever had. Every component was perfect and so flavorful. The only thing that bothers me about this dish is that it's going to keep me from trying the dishes I haven't tried. Perfection. [3rd TRIP] Norah roll (X2): Just perfect. One would have been enough, but two was even better. The peanut sauce was so balanced and savory. The veggies so fresh. Drunken noodles: If this one had a battle with the See Ew... it would be an epic battle of gods. DON'T MAKE ME CHOOSE. Their flat rice noodle in both wins all. The flavors were perfection, as were the textures. IDEK what that green stringy bead thing was, but it gave the dish this unique vegetal component, like a string of non-piquant capers. Someone got a raise for adding that. Best, most chicken-like soy curls that ever were. Occasional cherry toms were little fireworks of both sweet and acidity. PLEASE don't change ANYTHING. The portion was also excellent, which matters for those of us who are not doctors or lawyers. [4th TRIP] Finger Licking Potato: Delicious roasted fingerlings in perfect curry. Worth a repeat. Volcano Tempura Noodle Soup: To-go, so they separated out the rich, complex, and VERY spicy 3D broth, because the texture is crucial in this dish. Bok choy, razor thin rice noodles, and chunks of uniquely dense veggie tempura that seemed to have pieces shrimp in them, both in flavor and texture. Another deftly crafted dish I would get again. I love this restaurant SO much. Can't wait to try more. Wish I could order by phone, though.

If I could give 4.5 stars I would. I'll start with why it's not 4 stars and then work backward into the good. It's not a cheap price point ($80 for 2 at lunch with no alcohol- we ordered 2 entrees, an app, a dessert, and 2 sodas). I'm all for a nicer lunch but then for that price it's order at the counter- wait in a line, no one really checks on you, etc. Maybe dinner is full service? Hope so. That said it's really tasty- I'm not a vegan but I would totally go back here again. It's extremely decadent (read: just because it's vegan doesn't make it healthy) and everything was delicious. My favorite was the wonton nachos which one can never go wrong with and the mushroom coconut noodle dish (think: thom kha meets fettuccine Alfredo). My least favorite was the dessert- we got the bean paste one because mango sticky rice was out and some of the flavors just didn't meld with the others right. Overall, it reminded me of Kati in some ways, but Kati is full service for the same or less price so I think I'd faster return there before Norah. If you are vegan, you should absolutely check it out, and if you're not I would give it a go too.

We went for the first time and heard a lot about this place so we had to try out as many options as we can. My first advice is to definitely make a reservation ahead of time, as it gets PACKED. With that being said, you order through the QR code and they'll deliver to your table as it's ready. The papaya salad was refreshing, and the masala fries were a hit. The finger licking potatoes were a miss though, a bit too soggy and didn't go with the curry for me The pad see ew and the basil dish were great, both flavorful, full of veggies with different plant based proteins mixed together. The spice for everything was pretty mild, and they didn't give an option to make it spicier although they gave chili oil on the side Everything is vegan, and the service is fast paced since there was a lot of people but we were taken care of. On and the mango margarita was on point, very refreshing Only feedback for them would be to add spice levels to the foods, otherwise definitely worth checking out!

Five giant stars!! Norah is a vegan Thai dream come true! We were warmly greeted when we arrived and found a carafe of water waiting on the table. The space is clean and comfortable with open beamed ceilings and beautiful hanging plants through. My husband has been vegan for six short months and he loved it so much we had to go back two weeks later! The second time we took Omni friends and they said how crazy they found it that the best Drunken noodles they had ever had were vegan! We ordered Drunken noodles, See Ew, Bibimbap and Pad Thai. All the dishes were raved over. Fresh and piping hot, perfectly seasoned delicious!! The only thing we didn't care for was that the ordering is a Q code and done on your phone. We found it clunky. Norah is amazing and sure to become one of our favorites!

So much yummy deliciousness! This is such a cute little vegan place and I honestly can't believe I haven't been here before now. Well anyways we visited the place and oh my goodness am I floored. We got the masala fries, rangoons, finger licking potatoes, drunken noodles and the NA norah punch. First off the punch was so amazing - the chili on the rim had this smoky feel that you just don't get elsewhere. The drunken noodles were on another level altogether. This is best drunken noodles I've ever had and am sure will never get a tastier drunken noodles dish elsewhere. It's spicy for sure so do not get it if spice isn't your thing. I'm a big fan of spice and was tearing up a little while licking my plate clean! The masala fries are so aptly named. This is what masala fries everywhere wants to be but fails. The lime aioli on it was just so on point! Compared to that, the finger licking potatoes were not as amazing (they were still good, just paled a little in comparison). Friends in our party ordered the linguine and holy basil dishes and both were really good as well. Seriously, go here if you've not been there already.

I love vegan food, especially vegan food done well. I was eager to try this vegan Thai spot for lunch. The decor has a nice laid back beachy vibe with lots of light wood and ocean blue accents. The owner surprised us and brought over a few appetizers for us to try. The Larb Croquette was beautifully presented and delicious, they had a nice savory and tangy flavor to it. She also brought out a Papaya Salad. The salad had a kick to it but not too overpowering on the spice. I ordered the Coconut Mushroom Linguine. The sauce was more on the sweet side since it had a coconut base. However the sweet sauce paired with the mushrooms and spinach was delicious. I would love to come back and try even more dishes!

New vegan restaurant alert! I have had the pleasure of visiting a couple times now and really enjoy this spot. It's a small restaurant on the corner of Belmont and 38th. They have lovely outdoor seating when the weather is nice and they open up the garage doors so there's a breeze inside. Because the place is small, it's good for guests to be mindful of their time, especially during peak hours. It's a bit confusing whether you need to check in and order upfront or be seated. I would suggest the restaurant post signs. But, as long as spaces are available, you can choose a seat and order from a QR code on the table. Food comes out quick and hot. Menu items I have tried and what I thought: samosas (good) cauliflower curry (a must order! Kann dupe!) pad see ew (great noodles) drunken noodle (great noodles) coconut mushroom linguine (not my tastes) thai tea (delicious) norah ice coffee (strong) Cocktails range from $9-15, zero proof cocktails available for $10 and regular beverages available for $3-6. Appetizers range from $8-11 and main dishes range from $17-19. Obviously prices change so check their menu. I found most main dishes to be shareable or have a portion to take home, so pricing seems reasonable. The staff is attentive, even though ordering is done QR code. They clear the table and bring to-go containers as needed.

This place is a hidden gem! I went here not once, but twice in two days, and it was fantastic both times. While I live on the west side, I happened to be attending an event both Saturday and Sunday in the area. Both times I went, I was with friends with specific dietary needs. They were impressed with the variety of options! Saturday: My vegetarian friend (Jen) loved the zero-proof Pink Guava Sour and thought the bibimbap was just okay. My dairy-free/egg-free friend (Camille) raved about the coconut mushroom linguine and we all tried it and agreed it was the best dish. The Norah Sour is fantastic and I paired it with the 'drunken', which I enjoyed. Sunday: My gluten-free, soy-free, vegetarian friend (Erin) found plenty of delicious options and loved the cauliflower curry. I ended up ordering the homemade samosa and charred cabbage and it was another win! The staff here are super friendly and helpful, making the ordering process a breeze (either at the register or by QR code). This place is a winner! Delicious food, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere - definitely worth checking out!

Absolutely incredible vegan food. The Pad Thai nachos were particularly yummy. I also like how you just order and pay from a QR code at the table. So efficient!

Gluten free goodness. Everything was delicious, tasty flavors, choose your spice. They are called small plates on the menu and so you know they are small. Tight seating inside, not for groups. Sidewalk picnic tables cozy for two, tight for any more. Simple service, just cordial. Price point higher than Yelp rating. Nevertheless would dine here again.

The food was amazing! Never had a better papaya salad, which is crazy as I have eaten a bountiful some of it over the past 40 years! Sautéed mushroom were on point and the hibiscus lime drink was bold and ultra refreshing on this 85 degree day, thanks to the staff for this place, I'm definitely going back

I. Love. Norah. The end. No but really. I DO love this place. My husband and I RARELY love the same places to eat. He likes a lot less healthy, meat replacement, what I see as "junk" food. And I like plant based, fresh, veggies. But he DOES love any Asian food. And Norah checks both boxes for us. I get my plant based deliciousness and he gets Asian food that's hearty, flavorful and fresh. Norah was already absolutely packed, loudly buzzing with conversations when we arrived around 6pm (yeah we are old!!) to have dinner for a date. Now, I'll say that if you're uncomfortable with the idea of community tables (shared side by side seating,) you should either make a reservation or be prepared to wait. It's worth it. The cocktails are cultivated to compliment the food. Rich flavors, bright and acidic, sweetness and tart everything perfectly balanced and we'll thought out. And the food. My god. I haven't had a bad dish yet. I do plan to eat AND drink my way through the menu. Because everything is SO good. I was actually nervous to bring my husband here, as I said we typically don't have the same taste or love of the same restaurants. But he also felt it was 5/5. He said everything was delicious she he would love to go back!!! So we will see you again Norah and Prae!!

Food was absolutely delicious! Went with a large party and we got almost everything on the menu and honesty everything was a bit. Perhaps the bibimbap was less impressive than the mushroom pasta, the masala pasta, the see ew, or the drunken noodles, but still quite good. The samosas are not to be missed. Only odd thing about the experience was we had a reservation for 815 and "last call" for food AND drink was at 845. So maybe not the best for a late reservation. But nevertheless great food and a great time!

So excited to finally make it here. Been wanting to visit since it's opening! We love Mestizo so we knew we would love it here too. Packed on a Tue night but we were able to get a couple seats at the communal table. The people there were super nice and checked sun on us regularly even though it was so busy! We got the chix sandwich, suki glass noodles, samosa, and the taro sticky rice dessert. Everything was exceptional and flavorful! We inhaled it all! The sandwich was juicy and crispy and had so much flavor with the gochujang sauce. Suki glass noodles were topped with fresh greens and perfect tofu bites. The samosas were so savory and a nice start to the meal. And the taro dessert! Oh my. I love taro and this took it to the next level with coconut milk, chewy ginkgo nuts, dates, and slices of coconut. It was delish! I can't wait to go back and try more!

I really like the way they do their ordering. You scan a code and order off your phone. You can do an individual order or group. It was simple and easy. Let's talk about the drinks... I got a lychee spritz and an espresso martini. The spritz was refreshing with a hint of smokiness from the mezcal and the espresso martini didn't look like much but it was so rich. It tasted like a liquid tiramisu. The food..: everything was great. I ordered the nachos and I think it's a must have. I also got the volcano tempura noodles and they were a proper spice and full of flavor. I will definitely be back. I need to try the cauliflower

Norah makes asian vegan food and does it fairly well. The quality is on point, the flavors are there and eating here will make you not care there is no meat in any of the dishes. Entrees here are in the the $15-20 range. I tried their mushroom linguini and I liked the charred/citrus/tart flavor of the sauce a lot. While I have an interest in trying their other entrees it would be hard for me to try another dish when I like this one too much. It's great to have a vegan restaurant that puts out awesome flavors.

Had a great time here because of the food and service. First off, I'm a bigggg meat person. I'm talking meat for every meal and very little veggies or none at all. But I'd come back here any day, I'd get seconds and thirds here. I really underestimated it being a vegan restaurant, but I find anyone that appreciates food could appreciate Norah. I had the pleasure of trying the Spicy Holy Basil, and a shit ton of chili oil and chili flakes . Gotta have my toppings and they're great. You got the soft chewy marinated tofu and this crunchier cube shape tempeh for the perfect texture to balance the meal. My friends both got the coconut mushroom linguine and seemed to really like it. A lot of mushrooms for sure. Our waitress was super friendly and vibes with our chaotic night out type of vibe. Mind you this was towards the end of the night too. She ended up casually bringing a taro cake for the birthday boy and drew a candle! How nice. The taro cake was hottt and fresh. Tasty, but not a must try. Still much appreciated. I'm coming back here. And looking to add this thing "tempeh" to my home cooked meals.

Cauliflower Curry. Breathtaking! Cauliflower was cooked perfectly, the curry is the aromatic, mildly spiced, and has the perfect touch of sweetness. Love the accompanying kimchi style veggies. Portion is really big. Quinoa gem salad. Perfectly fresh, crisp little gem leaves. Could easily be shared btwn 2 people. Crunchy radish, flavorful pear, and perfectly ripe avocado. The quinoa is crispy and adds an extra crunch in the background. The miso dressing is a little watery, but allows for all the ingredients of the salad to shine through without being masked by the dressing. Order at the counter, then take a seat. Quaint, cozy interror with subtle music playing. On a recent visit here, I ordered a side of tempeh. Unfortunately is was fried to nothing but ash. I couldn't believe they even brought it to my table like that. And no, they didn't offer to replace it and I was charged full price for it (poor customer service imo).

Very flavorful food! It was so busy and that is always a good sign lol! No wait time, seated right away but better to make reservations just in case. Inside had nice plants and ambiance.

Disclaimer: I've been to Norah about three times now, and the first two were *awesome* experiences. Food: Quinoa Gem Salad: looked amazing, tasted delicious. Perfect blend of tangy, sweet, salty and sour. Worth it. Coconut Mushroom Linguine: sweet and savory. Richly flavored. Coconut, good. Mushroom, good. Linguine, good! (Sounds weird but tastes great!) Masala Fries: Sweet & lightly spiced. Good balance of flavors. Gochujang Chixken Sandwich*: Disappointing. The sandwich totally fell apart, the bread tasted like store bought buns that had gone from the plastic bag to the burger. There was far too much sauce. This dish came out late (like 30 min late), and still made me sorely regret not picking the cauliflower flower curry. *NOTE: This is a new dish, not normally on their menu. Service: Except for the lateness of the Chixken sandwich, (which was comped), everything else was on point. Ambiance: It's a beautiful, but cluttered place. I've been here a few times for dates and it's great for that, but I can imagine that if you come here at a time when people are wearing big bulky coats (or need a lot of space), it will feel a bit cramped. I'm giving this five stars, because of the first two times.

I have wanted to try for awhile so headed out on a Saturday evening, hoping a freind and I could snag a table. Arrived at 630pm and were seating inside in moments. The QR code wasn't making the ordering easy, no worries the sweet wait staff told us no problem ordering us front at the counter/bar. We had the norah roll appetizers. One small issue salad roll with delicious lemongrass tofu inside. Amazing sauce was served with it. We shared the cauliflower curry. Nice and spicy! Would order again, served with rice and kimchee pickles. Shared the holy basil dish, tofu, tempeh and soy curls, great dish. I lived the soy curls as they had a nice bbq/grilled flavor. Nice and spicy. Would order again. Mice atmosphere, friendly staff and the place was hopping with all customers smiling! No drinks were ordered, we spent 40 bucks plus tip. Give them a try!

I really wanted to love this place. So I came back again hoping for a better experience this time. Nope. The food is fine but the woman taking the orders boarders on hostile and that ruined it for my date and I both times we came. Food- vegetarian and vegan. "Charred" cabbage had no charring on it. It was lightly steamed and quite firm. But the sauce on it was good so that helped. Cauliflower curry was a hunk of cauliflower served with a spicy curry around it and an island of rice. Larb croquette was my favorite-Flavorful and good texture Pad thai was just OK. Suki noodles were lots of celery with smaller amounts bok choy and carrots. Noise level - average. Would I go back? Probably not. I wish them well but two seperate of experiences of hostility and I'm done.

Food was delicious and am so happy we found a new good quality vegan restaurant. Food came out really fast too and customer service was great. My favorite was the padthai, it's so flavorful. Samosas was very unique i felt like it was a mixed of Mexican and Indian taste which i never had somewhere else before. The coconut mushrooms linguine and finger licking potatoes are recommended but both the sauces were on a bit of salty side. The dishes came with lime so make sure to squeeze in for a more balanced taste. Overall we will definitely be coming back to try other dishes. Norah is now my new favorite vegan go-to place.

Norah is a small restaurant with big personality. I noticed it got quite loud for such an intimate space. Note that this is the kind of restaurant where you find a seat, order at a register, get a number and they bring you the food. I enjoyed the larb croquettes, the Tom ka soup, samosas, and the mango sticky rice sundae. Everything tasted delicious - my favorite was the samosas. I think even non-vegans would enjoy the tasty food here. If you love Thai food, don't pass up a visit to Norah!

Food: Wow excuse me what is this place?!??! My partner and I absolutely love Thai food; it's always in our top 3 contenders for eating out. We've tried Thai food from a lot of different places, but this one takes the cake for pad see ew. The texture of the tempeh was amazing and the flavors were so delicious. Not overly salty or sweet -- just perfect. I'm so sad I'm not a local because I'll be craving pad see ew from here at least once a week from now until forever. Service: Ordered online and the food pickup process was easy. Ambiance: It was busy inside, with most of the tables full. It's a small place, but it felt cozy and intimate rather than overcrowded. Great place for date night or even just to hang out with some friends.

What a beautiful concept restaurant! Everything I have ever had here has been absolutely delicious! The service is always kind and helpful as well. My favorite thing so far has been the cauliflower curry, a delectable treat for your taste buds, yet spicy! It was so warming and comforting. I also recommend the massaman fries and their house teas. They give vegan restaurants a good name :)

We loved it. We are not vegan, but we came with vegan friends that are regulars. This place is cute and very cozy. There are shared or private tables. My favorites were the Coconut Mushroom Linguine which is listed as recommended on their menu, and the Volcano Tempura Noodle which I didn't find to be spicy but 2 people are the table said it was quite spicy. The Samosas and the Norah Roll were both fantastic. Everyone at the table loved the Pad Thai but it's never been my thing personally. The food was so fresh, well plated, and delicious. I'll absolutely be coming back when we're in PDX again. First time pro tips: get a table, get your water, then get in line and order food. We watched this throw a lot of people off. They're small and you order at the counter, but you have to have a table already to order food.

Literally had a whole feast here and everything that we had was amazing! The larb croquette were gone in 2 secs. I love the crispy/crunch on the outer layer of the croquette and the cucumber was a nice refreshing touch! Also, the crispy basil leaf on top makes it that much more satisfying to eat. The massaman curry samosa is a MUST. Wished it was 5 pierces per order because MYGOD tastebuds be raving man. The fillings had potatoes, carrots, onions, massaman curry and lime aioli! Chef's kiss. I ordered the Coconut mushroom linguine and it was great! The galangal cream was a bit overpowering for me but overall, it was a good dish! We also got the wonton soup and it was goood soup. Love the aroma and taste! The ambiance was chill and the people there were very nice. Would definitely come back again :)

Wasn't sure what to expect for vegan Thai food, but was surprised by how much we enjoyed it. Cauliflower curry was a big hit, a tad too spicy for me (but I am not great with spicy) so would recommend checking it out. Drunken linguine was decent, lighter on flavor compared to the curry and wasn't sure what to make of linguine noodles with a thai dish but enjoyed it more than I thought I would. We also really liked the ambiance. Compact but plant/light filled. Felt like a cozy haven for lunch.

I personally enjoyed the flavors and quality of the vegan Thai dishes, but some dishes were a little too salty for me. My recommendations: - the Norah cocktail ($15) was delicious. It's pricey and the same meal as entre but I thought it had the right amount of citrus. Couldn't taste the tequila at all. - the mushroom wonton soup ($18) was flavorful. Love the dumplings. The filling paste was delicious. - samosas were flavorful and plated to perfection. Love the aesthetics. Least favorites: - drunk linguine was salty but flavorless so I didn't enjoy the taste. - I felt like I could've ordered the pad Thai at a different restaurant because there wasn't any flavor to it. And the noodles were over cooked so they stuck together. I felt like I was eating a blob of over cooked rice noodles. Otherwise the service was good. ASK FOR CHILI OIL. It's delish.

Amazing veggie and vegan thai, very friendly service. My favorites were a toss up between the Se Ew and the Crispy Basil Leaf. The Coconut Mushroom Linguine was also excellent, but i loved the flavors in the brown sauce dishes more. Also recommend the Herbal Tea Pot

This hidden eating spot is a gem. Such a beautiful environment with the bamboo walls. Hostess was incredibly kind and friendly- loves what she's doing. We had the samosas. Deep rich flavor - addicting and Drunken (noodles). Another delicious dish with incredible depth of flavor, bursts of deliciousness and the green peppercorns... wow! I've eaten out my whole like and this was definitely a memorable meal. I will be back! And as a vegan I thank you from the bottom of my heart for showing how delicious food can be without harming any animals. Thank you.

An explosion of flavors that ignite the palet! Stopped by Norah's after finding this gem of a vegan restaurant on Eater Portland. Everything was delicious! The service was great, and the ambiance was comfortable. We are from California but will definitely place this on the top of our go-to list when in Portland.

Wowow Norah has been on my list since literally opening day. I have been trying to find a time to go and was fiiinally able to try it out with a friend - can confirm this place did not disappoint. This is one of those places where I so wholeheartedly want to give it a 4.5/5. We went on the earlier side on a weekday which is great because they open at 4 pm for dinner! Not too much of a crowd so we were able to grab a seat pretty quickly. We ended up getting bunch of stuff to share because we were curious! I tried a cocktail and my friend got a nonalcoholic beverage, both of which we really enjoyed. I have my eye on the thai tea next time tbh. We grabbed the norah roll, the potatoes, the samosas, and the cauliflower. I'm a girl who likes all potato product so of course lmao loved the potatoes. So delicious and would eat on repeat. The samosas were also great and packed a punch and a nice flavor! Norah roll was good but not great -- the dipping sauce was good and it was a solid summer roll but idk I was expecting something a bit more flavorful or intriguing. How do I even explain the cauliflower except with the word GREATNESS. Man they do not skimp and it is a whole ass cauliflower HEAD. It was amazement embodied lolol the curry flavor was great, balanced with heat and acid and just delicious overall. We were ranting and raving about the cauliflower and go the table next to us to order it! Service was very nice when we ordered and everyone was super quick to answer any questions and give us their recs. Parking is street parking but shouldn't be too bad on side streets. Plant based or not, come by and enjoying some delicious food!

We came here mid-week and found plenty of cute seating for the party! The service is "order at the counter" which I am perfectly fine with - gives you way more time to relax and enjoy the day. I thought the food was overall good, but not too many standouts or memorable dishes. The best parts for me were the mango ice cream sundae (must try!) and the drinks were strong and reasonably priced. My spring roll was a little plain and boring and the potatoes had an interesting flavor that was not personally my favorite. My main did have quite a few fresh veggies which I loved, but the tofu was just bland and boring. I like this place but will try other nearby restaurants as well.

I'm not good with soy curls or other vegan meat substitutes and this was the basis of the menu. I enjoy tofu/tempeh but there weren't many (any?) options with that. Ordered the drunken noodles without the soy curls and it had really good flavor but was more stir fried onions than noodles. The drinks were not for me either. Tried a couple other apps too but the only dish I liked was my main and it was disappointing.

One of the best meals I've had in Portland! Teak wall decor, natural light, amazing food, friendly service! Dropped one star bc you have to order at counter, and music was too loud. Definitely be back!

WOW. Incredible food. We ordered the pad thai, volcano tempura noodle soup, and the pad see ew. All of the dishes were amazing, but the pad see ew might be the best I've ever had anywhere! Super sweet folks that work here, too. Truly a spectacular meal that was so obviously well thought out and made with love. 10 stars!

Norah is Spectacular! Let's start with the beverages. You really have to from such a great selection. The pink guava sour, a zero-proof option, was my favorite. What an excellent mocktail! We had some small plates like the Phad Thai Nachos, a great blend of rich flavors and crispy textures, the Rainy Rangoon, delightful perfections in a shell, and Charred Cabbage, which didn't sound appetizing but was a great appetizer. Then we tried the Coconut Mushroom Linguine. Seasonal mushrooms, noodles, and such a bountiful explosion of flavors with a squeeze of lime, all goodness in an excellent entree. Delish. My friend had the Drunken and said she'd order that again. We're all looking forward to coming back. One of the new places I'll be bringing my friends and guests to visit. Such a great place to try, whether vegan or not, just for the flavors and presentation. Loved it!

Really good, friendly service. There's just so many Thai place, that living on the west side makes it a pain to get there. If getting down Burnside wasn't such a mess, we'd be there more often.
