    Longan Rice Pudding (GF)
    Julie P.

    I did not know that this place was 100% vegan, but everything was delicious! I am such a carnivore too! My favorite was the nachos the see ew, khao soi, and rice pudding. Everything has its own distinct taste and flavors. They bibimbap was pretty spicy but packed with flavors. Nachos were different and tasty Everything was so good! Must get the longan rice pudding. I wanted seconds but I was so full.

    First time trying vegan thai or asian food... and it was so good! Get the khao soi!!!! So flavorful and fire. Will bring my vegan friends here :). Got the pad thai nachos which were not my favorite but definitely wanna come back and try out some other stuff!

    I LOVE Norah!!! Grateful for this second Norah location because the Belmont one is always super packed and you pretty much need a reservation to get seated quickly. This location is more spacious with the same great vibes. I ordered the Khao Soi Curry (which you can only get at this location) and it was incredible, an easy 10/10! Dumplings were also yummy but nothing beats the Pad Thai nachos. Looking forward to coming back and trying some new dishes!

    Pad Thai Nachos

    I am not vegan, but can certainly appreciate solid vegan food. Interesting flavours and dishes for sure that my husband seemed to appreciate. PARKING: Street parking! We parked in the neighborhood and easily found a spot on a busy Saturday during lunch time. AMBIANCE: The vibes are very chill and the plants give this place a nice feel. There is booth seating/chairs. A decent amount of space but a small restaurant for sure. I think they also have some outdoor seating as well. Warm green colours paired with the wood tones was very nice. SERVICE: We were seated immediately and greeted immediately upon entering. You order at the table using a QR code and can even do a group order and keep the tab open if needed. The food came fairly quickly and the gentleman working came and checked in on us. Complimentary water carafes at the tables with glasses. FOOD: Husband ordered the Cauliflower Curry which he enjoyed. I tasted the dish and the cauliflower itself was good with a nice char. As for the curry it had a lot of lemongrass flavour to it which was good but certainly not my fave flavour profile. I also ordered the Pad Thai Nachos which were good. I like that the wonton chips stayed crispy despite the sauce. The chickpeas were fried and gave extra crunch and the soy curls were okay. The description said the soy curls were chilled which I didn't really get because they just became luke warm probably from the sauces? Not sure but the flavours were alright. I also ordered the Masala Waffle Fries which was probably my favourite. The lime aioli gave it some sourness and the fries were crispy and well coated in the seasoning. The crispy onions were also a nice touch. For drinks I had the Thai Iced Tea which was solid and refreshing and I think it had coconut milk. Husband had the hibiscus lime soda which was sour but still good. OVERALL: Like I said I'm no vegan but I appreciated the flavours. Price was decent for the amount of food given and overall the vibes are solid. Would come back to try some other dishes!

    Delicious plant based restaurant on Alberta. They have tons of gluten free options that are indicated on the menu. My favorite dish was the Chinese broccoli. The curry cauliflower is packed with big flavor! I wished the papaya salad was aArgay portion, it was tasty. They have indoor and outdoor seating. We also split a nice bottle of rose.

    Mapo Tofu (GF)
    Sean R.

    *Non-vegan review* This was my first time trying mapo tofu fyi but I thought it was good. The portion was quite large, for $18 it seemed fair value but I recommend sharing it. I ate by myself & I enjoyed the 1st half and then the flavor became a bit tiresome, wished I had some other things to eat it with. It comes w/ purple rice which is nice & also a necessity or else it is too salty. The tofu was excellent - very melty & soft and they used tempeh for the ground beef and it had good flavor & meaty texture. Service is self ordering via QR codes which I am not a fan of but some ppl are, and you can still pay in cash at the end (but still have to order w/ your phone.) I am not a vegan but they have interesting dishes w/ pan Asian influences so I may come back for the coconut mushroom fettuccine.

    Having loved their other location on my last visit, we decided to check out this location for lunch. More of an open-concept, warehouse feel to this location. My wife & I ordered: -Ma po tofu ($18), comes with rice -- delicious, rich flavours, though a bit too salty. Not too far off authentic ma po dishes, but this one was cooked with soy curls to replace the usual pork. Very good but they need to tone down the sodium. -Pad see ew ($15) -- wonderfully cooked, coming with tofu, a sort of candied tempeh that was divine, JUST Egg, gai lan, and of course wide rice noodles. Couldn't ask for better execution of this dish. 5/5 -Gai lan side ($10) -- beautifully cooked, coated in garlic and a rich brown sauce. Fantastic accompaniment to the meal. Big portions -- we had plenty leftover for a sizeable snack each after. Friendly service. All ordering and payment is done via app.

    So good it got him smiling ear to ear!

The sauce they use with the chicken and rice is great and is worth buying to take home to make your own dishes better. There is a good amount of seating both inside and out. I also tried the pork which was good but I prefer the chicken so will stick to that on a future visit. I have tried a lot of places that do the same thai style chicken and rice and it's almost always a miss for me, something is always off, usually the chicken is touch, or too dry, or lacking flavor but here it just hits right.

We had to wait a bit for a spot to open up but soon were able to sit with a high chair (located in the middle near the entrance). We got our number after ordering and food quickly came out after our wait to sit. We got Khao Man Gai Piset (with liver), Khao Kha Muu and chicken skins. The kids ate so much and the hainanese chicken was a kid friendly favorite! We really enjoyed the Khao Kha Muu which was similar to an adobo with yummy pickled mustard greens. The meat was tender and marinated so well. The liver is always enjoyable by me and everyone ate the skins which were so crispy! The 2 meals were large and fed all of us well. Please remember to bus your own table!

They have several vegan dishes and we generally get vegan versions of the Evil Jungle with Tempeh, Pad Kee Mao with Tempeh, and the Enoki Mushroom Salad. They also have various vegan specials from time to time, outside of their vegan menu, which have all been amazing and something we keep an eye out for. If you have the time to eat in, you definitely should to fully appreciate certain dishes; but they do an amazing job with doing their to-go orders as well - like frying certain items when you arrive so they don't get soggy from waiting to be picked up. The ambiance is really nice for an intimate or small group meal and this is one of my favorite places to bring people that aren't vegan as they have all been really blown away with the meat dishes they've ordered.

Service was efficient on a weekday for lunch. I was very impressed that the woman serving us also cooks. She said she has one other person helping her over the weekend. The food was SO DELICIOUS. This was the best pad Thai we had with such depth of flavor - not too sweet or oily, just perfect. We also had the pad kra pao, eggplant and tom kha. The tom kha had good flavor and with a thinner broth that I'm used to which was fabulous. The eggplant was so delicious - the consistency was incredible. Not too soggy, just right. I also tried the mango sticky rice. For drinks we had the Thai lemon tea which tasted like Thai iced tea without the milk and lemon added - delightful! We even bought an extra dish to take with us to go. Amazing place. Ambiance is casual. I can't wait to return.

It is, in a word, perfect. I can only imagine what their other offerings taste like, but I myself may never know because the Green Curry is just that good. Add in excellent and attentive service and a very Portlandesque atmosphere and Paadee is a definite winner. Easily one of the best Thai restaurants in the city. If I were to pick one thing to gripe about it's that it's so good that sometimes seating isn't available, but good for them. Get it to go instead if that happens.

A stack of menus by the point of sale...but you know this place is good by the smells, laughter and the smiles, the vibe...you want to be here everything is moving smooth. The person same person that guided us with the menu also delivered one of the dishes. We order some Thai ice teas, Pad see ew and Tom kha gai. The noodles fat wide on the Pad see ew. Some veggies huge bomb shrimp cooked perfectly, everything cooked spot on. The soup cream coconut flavors a little steamy on the cool day in Portland. Great tasting. They stop by to drop off the food and come by later delivering spices and checking on us. A bustling place. I see an egg plant dish.. must try that... the crowd is upscale... the food some of Portland's finest.
