Nong’s Khao Man Gai

Nong came to the US from Bangkok, Thailand in 2003, and now Portland is his home. This award-winning Thai restaurant serves the most popular Thai food that you would find in Thailand, specifically Bangkok. Nong brought the Khao Man Gai dish to Portland, and to this day, his restaurant still serves only one dish. The dish, Khao Man Gai, is chicken and rice dish where the rice is cooked in the chicken broth, then both are served with a sauce made from fermented soybean puree mixed with garlic, ginger, Thai chilies, vinegar and sugar, along with a few vegetables, cucumbers, and cilantro. It is all wrapped in butcher paper which reminds Nong of his childhood. All of his ingredients are hand-selected and he tries to use local ingredients when possible. He now has 2 additional locations that grew from his tiny food cart on SW 10th and Alder. Nong’s Khao Man Gai was a James Beard Semi-Finalist, and has been featured in The Washington Post and The New York Times.
