    Jeez...oh how I love Norah! I've actually never dined in, only takeout. Always consistently fantastic, so much flavor, and travels well. Norah will always be a go-to for me!

    A very unique dining experience. I didn't have much contact with the waitress. Order online and they deliver to your table. Very quick!

    Flavor packed mains, irresistible rangoons, delish cocktails with NA options, and a sweet and salty dessert made this meal everything I could ask for. I love the fusion of different menu options, from See Ew to Bibimbap and Mapo Tofu. It's more than Thai food, and it's made well. There is truly something for everyone with good taste. Service was quick even with a fairly busy crowd and the ambiance is nice.

    **vegetarian review** I love that Portland is a vegetarian haven because of places like this. Such a fun menu, and such delicious food. Good portion sizes and very friendly host. I loved the eggplant dish- it used so many proteins like tofu, tempeh, soya curls. The waffle fries were amazing. The beans were a little salty but still good. Similarly papaya salad was on the sweeter side for me but still fresh and yum. I wanna go back and try more things!!

    Pad Thai nachos & Bimbimbap both outstanding! Drool worthy! Not sure why we've never been here before now? Definitely will be back!!! Service was excellent, atmosphere cozy, clean and bright. They use a QR ordering system - easy. It's Belmont we walked, parking could be tricky.

    The food felt really fresh. I loved the flavor combinations. The ambience is very Thai garden feeling. Tons of plants in here and it made us feel comfortable. The space is rather small, but it's great for a one on one situation. The service was really friendly. They do have free Wi-Fi.

    Cute little restaurant in a sweet neighborhood with a family-owned vibe! And you'd never know everything is vegan unless you asked/read first. My vegan friend brought me here for lunch and we shared 5 dishes: coconut mushroom fettuccine, Larb croquettes, Jiaozi fried dumplings, pad, Thai nachos, and a side of Chinese broccoli. I also ordered a passionfruit margarita and the dessert, Longan rice pudding. Every single item was outstanding!

    The flavors here packed a punch! Portland of course has many vegan options but this is definitely one of the best places you could try out. My group of 3 arrived during lunch hour on a Saturday and we were able to pick our table since it wasn't too crowded (surprisingly!). The inside was pretty cozy. You can order and pay up front through a QR code on the table. Service was fast and friendly. Starting off with the Pad Thai nachos and Masala waffle fries, I couldn't get enough of the flavor explosion. The fries were perfectly crispy and completely coated with various spices. For the main dishes we shared the cauliflower curry and coconut mushroom fettuccini. These are family sized dishes so be sure to come with a group or ready to have leftovers for days! The cauliflower curry was my favorite - it had a decent spicy kick and the sauce was amazing. They did not skimp on the mushroom for the pasta dish which I was so happy about :)

    Norah on Belmont is quaint and reminds you of being in a friend's kitchen or your favorite grandma's house. Simple ordering process at the bar and order brought to your table. Everything was delicious. The Rainy Rangoon were perfectly crisp wish the order had more. The curry cauliflower is more than enough for one person. The mushroom in the fettuccine had a smoky flavor so, so good.

    Over crowded, no space between tables, staff cleared a dirty table near me without even acknowledging my presence. Left without eating

    Wow. What an experience. The colors. The textures. The flavors. So on point. If all vegetarian food was like this, then nobody would eat meat again! And the drinks were also well balanced and fun! We also really loved the efficiency. Although ordering and paying on your phone may seem impersonal, it really streamlined things and allows the staff to get the food and drinks out fast. We will definitely be back and then some.

    They would not let me order a noodle dish without the soy curls. Seems really ridiculous there are absolutely no substitutes.

The the combination of smoky, tender barbecue with the creamy Thai curry was so good. The burnt ends brought that deep, savory, slightly charred flavor, while the curry gave it a completely different dimension. The flavors worked well. I just wished the burnt ends were more fatty. We also tried a pork belly dish, which was another highlight. The pork was rich and flavorful, and I loved the crispy fried egg, green beans, cucumber, and fish sauce with it. If you're visiting Portland and want something playful and different, Eem is absolutely worth checking out!

Drinks: I cannot handle day drinking anymore, but I couldn't resist... - Acid test: bourbon based - Separation anxiety: rum based, tiki; I was hesitant about the lychee (not a fan), but it was very well balanced. This was my preferred cocktail Food: family style - Sweet and sour chicken: even the small was a big portion. Flavor was great on this, and it had a crisp, crunchy batter - Wok fried yu choy: great wok char - Smoked pork krapao: crispy pork belly pieces, a fried poached egg (literally deep fried). Break up the yolk to dip with the pork. The cucumbers and green beans are a nice clean accompaniment; spicy fish sauce was great - White curry with brisket burnt ends: I've never had a white curry, but the white curry and cauliflower was a great match for the super rich brisket pieces. I love the interesting combination! Note: pretty much everything has some spice to it, so for kids, the jasmine rice and yu choy are the main items, though my older daughter did ok with the fried chicken and brisket! Music was great, and all of the food flavors were bold. Though flavor combinations were unique, everything was cohesive. They were packed on a Wednesday for lunch, so I'm glad we got here before noon to snag a table. I wish the Bay Area had more interesting fusion done right like this (I feel like fusion is a bad word in the food world...)

You can watch them frying the roti in front of you, they have a great flavor (they're a bit on the thick side), and the curry is absolutely sublime, with an incredible depth of spices without being hot. I also really enjoyed the freshness and textural blend of the "rice salad," with great cucumbers and herbs, although it was too spicy for my dining companions. I admit I didn't think the fried chicken was anything special--the chicken was moist (even the white meat), but the outside could have been crunchier. But I'm not the biggest expert in fried chicken, nor in pad thai, and both were certainly competent even if not as exceptional. Sticky rice was also cooked perfectly.

Fried Chicken Roti Combo - holy fried chicken crispy, combo comes with 1x leg and 1x thigh cut into two pieces. Curry was delicious and balance, excellent when dipped with the crispy roti or fried chicken. Pickled veggies were a great pairing and sweet and sour added another dimension. 2. Pad Thai - glistening noodles served inside an egg omelet. Very solid pad thai - sweet, sour, salty. Don't forget to add the fresh shrimp, these were cooked perfectly and plump. I recommend the restaurant should take the shrimp tail shell off for us. 3. Thai Basil Lemonade - solid lemonade, NEED more basil flavor. Overall, I'd come here again to eat and try other items as well. I'll give it a 5 star for now but more 4.5.
