[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. [5th TRIP] Larb Croquette: Unique, with nice textures and subtle flavors, but a bit on the small side. And not really 'meaty,' texture-wise, so I wouldn't call it (faux) larb. Masala Linguine: Another dish that hits it out of the park. At least four different kinds of mushrooms, lots of delicious five spice tofu, onions, pepitas, and a lovely masala blend. A generous and well balanced portion of everything, with so much flavor, but still in the Goldilocks zone. I love this restaurant SO much. Can't wait to try more. Wish I could order by phone, though. read more

Great food with interesting flavor combinations and great drinks, including NA drinks. I will definitely be coming back.

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. read more

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. read more

This is the best restaurant period. I don't care if you're vegan or not put this to your Pepsi challenge and Norah will win. Order a variety of appetizers; nachos, chili garlic tofu, wontons and mains; see ew and fettucini. Absolutely delectable down to the last sip of the coffee. I cannot wait to come back and try more offerings. How had I not been here before my goodness fantastic meal :) read more

Norah - Amazing - Vegan Near Me - Portland, Oregon

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! read more

Amazing Vegan Thai Food! I really loved the samosas, masala fries, rainy rangoon, and the pad thai (get extra tempeh). The jiaozi fried dumpling was good but the others were better. Norah's tempeh is so delicious. Can't wait to eat here again! read more

First time trying Norah, it's been on my list forever! I had the Vegan Bibimbap for lunch, the flavors were perfect, each little banchan paired perfectly. And it is so beautiful to look at! Order at the counter and they'll deliver your food to your table. The atmosphere is quite cozy and bright and we had no issues with the staff. They were very nice and attentive. Can't wait to return to try the Cauliflower Curry! read more

Norah - Vegan Bibimbap - Vegan Near Me - Portland, Oregon

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. read more

Norah was fantastic! The vibes are real in this place. the food was to die for. Ya'll gotta try their signature dish, linguine, and their larb croquette, wow I mean, it absolutely melts in your mouth. The server was knowledgeable and I highly recommend this place to vegans and non vegans alike! read more

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! read more

Yummy plant-based food, nice ambiance. All vegan menu with several gluten free options. Staff is always friendly and helpful.

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. read more

We loved Norah! Good was great. The only thing we wished was that it wasn't order from a QR code. Makes it feel less warm/quaint.

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. read more

Some of the most personable and passionate people I've met. You can absolutely tell that they love doing what they do. Everything we ate was sooooo tasty. The music was lovely and there were plants and good vibes all around. Rangoon-fantastic Drunken- spicy but delicious Coconut Mushroom linguine- creamy and filling We came here for our anniversary and they even gave us a Mango Sticky Rice Sundae and it was warm and sweet and a great end to the meal. Make sure you also get a beverage or a mocktail...I had the Norah Colada and my fiancé had the Pink Guava Sour. We'll 100% be back again! read more

Bring your smart phone, you'll need it to order! Also, if you don't close your tap, they automatically take an additional 20% tip. We ordered, Pad Thai, mushrooms, & something similar to a spring roll. For me the Pad Thai was too sweet, the sauce was red in color, no sure what it was. My wife liked hers though, we both loved the mushrooms, & the spring roll was very good. Not much in the way of GF on the menu. The inside was clean, & they bused tables quickly. read more

I like the variety of indoor and outdoor seating options. Each table has a QR code to order and pay from, which makes it quick and easy to dine in. Samosa and Pad Thai Nachos were outstanding, which I enjoyed with a Breakside IPA. The restaurant is well-patronized with a happy vibe. Service is friendly and attentive. I'd love to come back and experience more items from their menu. read more

Loved the food, beautifully presented and delicious! Service quick and professional. Our first visit and we will be back!

Some of the best food I've ever had, not just 'vegan food', of all the food. I think about their Volcano Miso Mala Soup, topped with Tempura veggies, daily. The presentation, aroma, flavor, spice, textures. It has, however, effected my enjoyment of virtually every ramen/noodle soup/warm liquid I have had since first trying it; as anytime I am eating something elsewhere, whether from another restaurant or made by myself, it is lackluster because it is not the Volcano Miso Mala Soup from Norah. Food always arrives super fast, every worker is beyond friendly and inviting, every person eating alongside you at the restaurant is happy to be there and often audibly blown away by the flavorful dishes offered. I love Norah so much. read more

Holy moly! I can't recommend this place enough. The most delicious Pad Thai I've ever had. Everyone at the table loved their food.

Deserves 20 stars!!!! This food is astronomically delicious like who in that kitchen??!!! I came with 4 friends so we all ordered different dishes and appetizers so we could have a mukbang and try most of the menu, and let me tell youuuuuu THEY ATE DOWNNNN!! They're pretty pricey compared to other Vegan Thai places I've been, so not an all the time thing but this place is definitely worth it! NO CASH tho everything is payed thru Apple Pay. Usually the phone eats first but we were so excited to eat and it was sooooo good trust us tho!! Everything is a good choice on this menu read more

My partner and I visited Norah on a Saturday around 6:30pm and sat outside at one of the picnic tables. Rather than traditional table service, QR code phone ordering was available. To start, we had the Norah roll and pad Thai nachos (not pictured)...both were very yummy, I especially enjoyed the flavors and textures in the pad Thai nachos. To drink we had mango margaritas and love & passion (not pictured)...both cocktails were very well balanced, and the mango marg had sweet, spicy, salty, and tart notes. It's a bit of a bummer there are absolutely no substitutions/changes because I would have really liked to have been able to adjust the spice level on the volcano noodles. It was really flavorful but unfortunately it was just painfully spicy for me. I knew it would be spicy, and ordered it anyway, but was quite blown away by how powerful the level of spice was. The food came out almost instantly after placing the order, so I assume most of it is almost fully prepared/pre-made, which would make sense why customization isn't possible. My partner had the cauliflower curry, and enjoyed it. Overall, it was a nice experience. A little pricy, but that's Portland for ya! read more

The food here is a new favorite for me. I went two days in a row and cant stop thinking about everything else i still need to try. The service was good. Place has good outdoor seating and inside. Just dont forget to order everything at once bc you order at the counter. If the line is long you gotta wait if you want to order anything xtra. So make sure you know what you want. Not crazy about the bathroom location but hey! I am just happy they have one to use. The food and drinks are more than worth it tho super delicious stuff and drinks so good read more

Not bad! Lots of inspired Thai dishes. Food came out fairly quickly after we ordered up at the front. Everything mostly came out all at once so no one was left waiting for theirs which was nice. Pricing is reasonable for the amount of food you get. We had a group of 4, each ordered a dish and split it amongst ourselves and still had leftovers. The place itself is small, so not great for groups more than 4 people. I would say the day we went there was only 1 waitress, though she brought our food quickly it was hard to find a chance to ask her a question since she was running to and from the back. Good lunch spot. No parking lot, street parking only. read more
