If you're looking for incredible Nepalese cuisine with an Asian-inspired twist, Nom Nom is a must-visit. Every dish is packed with bold, unique flavors that keep me coming back. The crab fried rice is a fan favorite for good reason--it's flavorful, perfectly cooked, and absolutely delicious. My personal favorites are the samosas and the roasted cauliflower, both of which are full of amazing spices and prepared with so much care. What really makes Nom Nom stand out, though, is the people behind it. The owners and chefs are genuinely welcoming and passionate about what they do, creating an atmosphere that feels just as memorable as the food itself. Whether it's your first visit or your tenth, you're always treated like family. Great food, wonderful people, and a warm, inviting experience make Nom Nom one of my favorite places to eat. read more

I don't know if we came on a bad day or is it just bad? We got the wings and they were so small that three of them would equal the same size of a wing at another proper place. But even worse, they were so dry that it felt like it was heated at 400° for 30 minutes. And for $16 that's horrific, I would say that this is like the wings you would find at a dive bar at 11 PM with no choices, and they would probably only charge you about $8 to $10. The Momo was just simply not good. We got the chili chicken and they were extremely small, over fried, and the sauce taste just like a store-bought, sweet thai chili sauce Lastly, we got the nacho for nacho week and oh my God was that a disappointment as well. It came out extremely cold, and it might be intended to serve not hot, but this was like straight out of the fridge cold. If you look at the pictures they have on the nacho week website, it looked nothing like it. It was a disgrace as it was probably 90% nacho in 10% everything else. If you split up the toppings, it would only need about four or five chips before you've exhausted all the toppings that came with it. Then you're left with 90% of just tortilla chips. I don't know how this place got so many good reviews but either this is a really bad day, but we got three separate dishes that were all bad, but I'm inclined to think that it's just simply bad. read more

Came here for sandwich week, but they were sold out at the v time, so I stayed to try some of their other offerings and they delivered. The service was phenomenal, the food was delicious. Nem Kao - this was such a delicious plate. This is a red curry based crispy rice plate served with lettuce wrap. It's made to be eaten with your hands. Laos Sausage Roll - Also a very delicious dish. The Laos sausage is served in a potato roll and I can't remember the sauce, but that was delicious. In addition it was topped with some fried noodles which gave it it a nice crispy touch. I love the new menu with some touch of Nepal. Keep it up. read more

They've clearly changed management/ownership from when I was last there. Menu is now largely changed. They've kept some of the good wings from before but now pivoted to more tapas dishes which are not bad. We enjoyed the Nem Kao and Charred Cabbage that was cooked well and served on a bed of creamy sauce. Definitely more western than what it used to be. The wings were small than what they're before. Firecracker Wings are still our favorite. The Thai Fish Sauce ones were too sweet for me. Need more citrus or savoryness there. Service was decent on a weeknight when the place was empty. Staffs were paying too much attention eventhough we're the only people. read more

Nahhh... this place is not it. Ever since the original owner sold the restaurant, it just hasn't been the same. The new ownership doesn't seem to have the Asian flavors down, the sauces lacked depth and just didn't taste right. The wings were small, the portions felt reduced, and the menu is now very limited compared to before. Overall, it was pretty disappointing. I wouldn't suggest coming here, especially if you remember how good it used to be. The only positive was the service -- the staff was friendly and nice. read more

My bf and I came here for lunch. We love chicken wings, and I especially love the Asian-flavored ones, like fish sauce wings. So, of course, I ordered the Fish Sauce Caramel wings, and a couple of other flavors including the Firecracker wings. The wings were tasty. Good flavor. And nice and crispy. Cute place, and great service. read more

The restaurant is popular for wings, but the wings are disappointing. I ordered chicken wings with two flavors: fish sauce, and Thai chili. The wings are small the flavor it's not Vietnamese fish sauce at all. It is sweet and not flavorful at all. It's a little bit disappointing because I am Vietnamese and I expect the Vietnamese chicken wings better. At least the service is really nice. Parking is pain in the butt tho read more

What a great spot to get some great flavours and a twist on bar foods and tapas types of dishes. PARKING: Parking at night was not a huge deal but we did come pretty late. Plenty of space on the streets per usual in Portland. AMBIANCE: There's a bar inside with seats and some tables. They have some cool pictures on the walls on the inside and the atmosphere was very casual. SERVICE: Our waitress was very helpful and answered our questions. We were checked on multiple times. Our waters remained filled and the dishes were brought out piping hot and fresh! FOOD: Tom Kha Cocktail: Wow what an interesting drink! It had some savoury notes but the lemongrass was such a punch of flavour. Mango Sticky Rice Cocktail: Creamy goodness that reminded me of an elevated version of a piña colada. Firecracker Wings: Crispy and fried well. Not dry, and I got the hint of lime leaf and it's got good spice. Otherwise a good wing. Fish Sauce Caramel Wings: The flavour was pretty good. Sweet and salty. HOWEVER. The caramel hardened on the plate and every bite was sticking to my teeth. It was pretty difficult to eat to be honest. Vietnamese Street Corn: What a star. The dried shrimp made the dish sing. So savoury. Sambal Honey Carrots: Another star of a dish. The caramelization on the carrots was so good. Carrots cooked perfectly. Not too soggy and not undercooked. A delicious veggie dish. Smashed Cucumber Salad: This was light and refreshing. Good sesame flavour and creamy dressing. Pork Chicharrones: I mean fried pork rinds. Always good. Remoulade also delicious. Roasted Cauliflower: Another solid veggie dish. Carrot ginger puree was silky and bright. Well roasted and good char on the veggies. Lao's Sausage Roll: Yum. Perfection. No notes. Just delicious. What a great twist on a regular old hot dog. OVERALL: I'd give this a solid 4.5 stars. There are definitely some stars and their veggie forward dishes were probably some of my favourites. Definitely would come back here again. read more

From the moment we stepped inside, we felt transported to Thailand. Casual but classy. Our server was exceptional. He guided us through the menu & recommended a few favorites. Attentive & a great flair for making cocktails. While enjoying the scrumptious food, the chef came out to chat. There is some serious talent in this place. If you are missing Pok Pok, come here. read more

A fantastic experience overall. A friend and I had been trying our best to taste as many Weiner Week dishes as possible. After a long day of hunger, we decided to complete the week with Nom Nom. Parking is easy to find in this area most weekdays, but expect some weekend challenges. Walking and cycling make it easy - plus you can indulge more. Upon entering, guests move through a welcoming hallway that keeps the door area hidden from diners, which I love. The space is open once in the dining area, and staff quickly help you get seated. We chose a semi-booth so we could both sit against the wall. The team introduced us to the menu and drinks, and then we were off to make our decisions. I decided on a diet Pepsi and the Wiener. The Pepsi came quickly, and it was so good to enjoy some sugar. The Wiener was so tasty, and I was glad the team decided to use real sausage instead of a hotdog. The flavors of the sauce were so freaking yummy, and they complemented to hot pepper and the fried onions really well. I would have totally consumed two. I will be back when I need some wings, since, I had never been here before. Great vibes, good food, and the separation of tables in the space makes it feel welcoming and private. read more

We tried the Snowcrab Fried Rice, Fish Sauce Caramel Wings, and Fried Potatoes--and wow, everything was delicious! Full of flavor, cooked perfectly, and yes... nomnom indeed! We brought our 9-month-old baby, and even he loved the food. The server was super nice and thoughtful, especially when it came to our baby's needs--something we really appreciated as parents. The vibe is chill, clean, and family-friendly, making it a great spot to relax and enjoy a good meal. Bonus: we went on a Wednesday and got 15% off wings! Can't beat that kind of deal. We'll definitely be back! read more

If I could give 6 stars, I would. My friends and I stopped in for wiener week. Not only is their service friendly and amazing. The food is out of this world. They were so creative in their interpretation for hot dog week, but it was easily the best one out of the 10 I tried. The menu is full of amazing choices. You can't go wrong. I also got the mango sticky rice cocktail which blew my mind. COME HERE! read more

Delicious Gem! Don't be fooled by the name, they don't just have wings, though they are tasty. We've tried most of the menu and have never been disappointed. I think we would make a trip just for the cauliflower, it's that good! If you like Asian tapas, look no further and give them a try, you won't be disappointed. Friendly service and delicious food. read more

Nice little unassuming place that once you dig-in just keeps getting better. I was greeted soon after entering allowed to choose my seat. They are quick to serve you but give you your space. I choose the Viet sausage as I remembered from the online pictures and I added the papaya salad after my first dish. I was really wanting a snack to the two orders was more than I wanted but after the sausage dish I had to try their sum tom. The sausage what an amazing dish. The presentation the flavors with the sauce and the lettuce to cool things down. The papaya salad was ok its own version. May have to give it another try in the future. They were talking up the new chef. Some people lingering others coming in everyone enjoying themselves. Stop in before a night to a game or the theater. Many other items on the menu to try it can take you to Asia for a bit. read more

In terms of environment and aesthetics, the restaurant looked great and welcoming. We came over after a convention and was craving chicken wings. The chicken wings was kinda pricey, especially for small wings. While it did taste good I couldn't get over the cost. Even the Viet sausage was expensive. I don't think sausage should cost nearly $12.. I can't recall the exact price. Overall we ordered 24 small wings and a sausage plate, totalling roughly $59 and was not full. We have better chicken wings local to us that are larger, so we probably won't return. read more

Yum!! This place definitely hit the spot. I was craving chicken wings while I was on the plane and when we landed, this place stood out to me. Why?! I mean besides the name, the wing flavors, and it was also the other offerings. To start, the fact that they had green Thai tea was already huge brownie points. And the added bonus is that it came out like a root beer float was unexpected. Yum, it's like a drink and dessert built into one. The nem Kao was something I've had maybe a small handful of times prior, but nom nom wings sure made this encounter memorable. It was well balanced in flavor, crispy and crunchy in texture, and the provided herbs pulled the entire dish together and made it refreshing. Vietnamese street corn, though someone noted it was bland, I have a weak spot for corn. And I'm glad I didn't let that review turn me off because it was anything but bland. I'm usually not a fan of those dried micro shrimps because people don't fully hydrate them and it's the aldente texture (which I dislike), but this place did it right. The corn was very flavorful and it sort of reminded me of banh beo. Now onto the wings and rib bites. We tried 4 different wing flavors: salt pepper, passion fruit habanero, snow, and fire cracker. Salt and pepper reminded me of the salt and pepper prawns with the onion and jalapeno slices. The snow wings are what stood out the most with its yeasty, cheesy, non overwhelming goodness and hint of sweetness. Passion fruit habanero had a slight kick to it, but it was just maybe a little too sweet for my liking but the sweet and spicy does work together. Fire cracker wings were also a best seller per the staff and it was simple, yet straight forward, and not overwhelmingly spicy or anything. Rib bites reminded me of my husband's deep fried ribs in lard that is tossed in BBQ sauce afterwards, except it was tossed in tamarind sauce, yumm! The off menu surprise of salt and pepper prawns sure did hit the spot after I had the salt and pepper wings. The prawns were huge and probably one of the tastiest salt and pepper prawns I've had to date. Well seasoned, well balanced, and not salty (which is something I tend to complain about). And let's not forget zero waste as the shells were edible and it didn't get caught in the back of my throat. Ended this meal with fried banana fritters and coconut ice cream. Gosh the crushed peanut sprinkled on the ice cream was something so simple but yet made a huge difference. The fried banana fritter was more of a secret fat kid's guilty pleasure at the Fair type of moment. Crunchy and yet so silky soft in the middle with a bite, not just melted goo. I'd highly recommend and I'd for sure come back. This place was bomb.com in my books. read more

We came here on a Saturday afternoon with a group of friends to try out this restaurant. We came a bit late and our friends were already seated and we joined them. We ordered an abundance amount of food and it all came out orderly which gave us time to taste it. The wings are graciously seasoned and tasted like their names. My favorite from the batch would be the Snow Velvet wings - which is a cheddar powder with dried parsley sprinkles. All of the wings are flavorful and easy to share. If you're looking to try out a new restaurant in the area, come and give this location a try. read more

5/5 chicken wings. I took ma here and she actually enjoyed eating the wings and said the chicken was juicy, skin was crispy, and there was a good amount of garlic. Everything flavor profile wise was good, we got the traditional fish sauce wings, and an order of the banh khot (small turmeric rice cake crisps filled with shrimp). The banh khot was cooked well, just wish we could get more lettuce with our dish as traditionally you eat it by wrapping it in the lettuce leaf (they only gave us two). It's a bit awkward when you come here as it's more of a bar than a restaurant- but wait by the door and the bartender will greet you. The music they play here is a bit intense and definitely not family friendly. But the food is good! read more

I stopped by this little gem on my recent trip to Portland and absolutely loved it. I ordered the snow velvet wings, fried potatoes, the mango sticky rice cocktail, and the tom kha cocktail, everything was amazing.

I'd definitely come back and highly recommend Nom Nom Wings. read more

Tried Nom Nom Asian Tapas in PDX when visited this place last week. The tapas-style menu makes it so easy to try a variety of dishes, and honestly, every plate we ordered was a hit. Bold, well-balanced flavors, great portions for sharing, and everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared. The atmosphere is cozy but trendy, with just the right amount of energy -- perfect for a date night or a fun dinner with friends. On top of that, the service was friendly, attentive, and made the experience even better. This is one of those spots you leave already want to plan your next visit.

We popped in for lunch while on a weekend trip to Portland. The wings were decent sized & crispy. We got the traditional sauce, tried the Tamarind as well. I liked both. I loved the quick pickled veggies served with the wings. We also tried the potato "nachos" and fried dumplings. Both were good. The servers were attentive and very nice. We would definitely go again. read more

Our group ordered a wide variety of things to share, and we ate every bite of every plate! Especially loved the crispy rice-curry and charred cabbage.

Unfortunately went to a different Wing Week after coming into this restaurant (first and last visit) with zero greeting or acknowledgement from either staff. After a while and it being unclear if it's a seat yourself or wait, we sat at an open table. Still zero acknowledgement as both passed by our table, so after another five mins we got the unwelcoming hint and left. From my perspective, it wasn't overly busy to not say something. I'm sure they also have their perspective on the situation. And it could be an off day given other reviewers experiences. read more

My girlfriends and I popped in on a Friday night - no wait, empty tables so we sat down right away. I am sure it's more busy but it was early, on the Friday after New Years. Loving the vibe, colorful lanterns hanging above, causal tables and seating and a fun faux leaf wall. The staff was pleasant and attentive. We ordered the meatballs, charred cabbage and chicken tenders in tangy tamarind and salt and pepper. Two of us were doing DRY January so I asked if he had any mocktails as I didn't see any on the menu. He asked "do you like key lime pie?" Hec yeah - so I was given the most delicious key lime pie in a cup, served with a square ice cube delicious!!! The meatballs were 10 out of 10 and I really enjoyed the charred cabbage, those two dishes were super flavorful. I assumed the chicken tenders would be smaller sized but no, they were huge. The tamarind was the table favorite, loved the sauce. The salt and pepper was just average - good thing I had spicy mayo and ranch to dip it into for extra flavor. I'd go back again as they had some interesting starters I'd like to try! read more

I've been here a handful of times and every time has left me wanting to come back and try something new the next time! The drinks are so unique and tasty! My fav is the DTF drink, love how strong the passionfruit flavor is. The wings are a MUST- so crispy and flavorful. The fish sauce wings and firecracker wings are a favorite. They had a larb one during wing week that was soo good, hopefully they'll add it to the regular menu! We also really enjoyed the banh khot and papaya salad here. Service can be a little slow at times but the quality of the food makes up for it! read more

The ribs were fried and tossed in sauce. Great flavor and definitely tangy. I added some chilis to make it tangy & spicy. I also tried the Hot Passion wings. Sweet and spicy!

Decided to make a weekend trip from Seattle to Portland and so happy we found this hidden gem in dt Portland. Being Lao and Vietnamese, I was super excited to try a Lao/Vietnamese fusion restaurant. We tried the Banh Khot (first time ever having this) and it was delicious! It was light and crispy on the outside and cooked to perfection! Also, I highly recommend the Firecracker wings.

Chicken Wings to-go and still crispy when they arrived through DoorDash. Asian style wings with other flavor options too. I've been meaning to find some good wings and these have such a unique crispy batter. Even when we ordered through delivery, the wings still had a crunch to them and the flavors were great. We got the Nom Nom wings, which is like a sweet garlic flavor you can't go wrong with. And the Habanero Passion which had a slight kick to it but not too spicy. Can't wait to try the other flavors next time and the other dishes! Great go to spot for chicken wings. read more

The flavors for the wings here were different enough to be a little unique compared to a standard wing place, but still so delicious that you're still enjoying them by the time you get to the end.
