    I was blown away by the unique and inspired Thai food here. Every dish we tried was exceptional. It's also very vegetarian/vegan friendly. (You're a damn fool if you don't try the sticky rice ball.)

    Sundays and Wednesdays after 9:30 go for the half off late night menu. Prince Edward Mussels, crispy squid, quail eggs and Thai chicken wings are all awesome small plates.

    The Ma-Hor are a must. Bite-sized pineapple topped with mined pork, shrimp and peanuts tastes just as great as it sounds.

    Beerlady's favorite restaurant in Portland. The cocktails and all the food are sooo well crafted and balanced. You will not regret any dollar you spend at Boda. Park in the ASSIGNED spots behind.

    Go early, put your name on the list, step across the street to Pai Men Miyake for a drink, then come back just in time for your seating.

    I'd like to think I'm exciting, but I can never pass up the late night crispy squid or chicken pad Thai. Amaziballs. The Thai tea is really good, for all of you underage hipsters.

    The red curry is vegan, but I prefer to get the rice ball, tofu skewers, and mushroom skewers. And a Shirley temple.

    Want a cocktail? Try The Fuge's Dilemma. He's a wonderful guy AND a wonderful drink! Warning: this cocktail is not for the weak. Only the strong will survive.

    Most small plates were pleasing. A beef skewer was tender and sweet, with a bit of heat. Better still is the meltingly soft Thai sausage, infused with lemongrass and served with a sour relish. Read more
