Food: fast and fresh! I chose half black and half white as regular. The rice and chickens tasted very good and not to mention the soup ✨ the only thing is missing is the traditional green and red sauce that’s usually seen in Asia but this is decent!

Service: the staff will serve your plates to your table, and the one that helps us is very helpful and kind.

Ambiance: super casual

I was really missing the Khao Kha Moo I had in Phuket, and when I found out this place serves it, I had to come and try it!

The pork leg in the dish was a bit leaner than expected. While the flavor was decent, the real essence of the dish lies in the fatty, gelatinous pork skin, which was lacking here—it felt like something was missing!

I also tried their Chicken Noodle Soup. The broth was wonderfully balanced, savory with a hint of sweetness, but the noodles fell a bit short in texture.

Important Note: Khao Kha Moo is only available at their SE location, not at the downtown branch! Don’t waste a trip. Plus, the atmosphere here is much cozier. Even though this branch has a lower Google rating than the downtown location, I definitely prefer this one!

I want to give honest review. I was here in 2021 and taste of rice on Khao mun kai is really good. Now, in 2024, I come back here again and notice that the rice tastes different from the last time. Still, the sauce and service are wonderful. Don’t forget to try Thai ice tea float. It was delicious.

No frills, solid, and efficient meal. Could be a tad cheaper, but understandable given the economic environment these days.

Got the pork and rice and there's nothing to complain. Great, home-y meal with solid nutrients and no bs. They serve it up real quick as well. The place was filling up, but I got my meal within 4-5 minutes.

Definitely recommend coming here over the downtown location. There's much more seating here, both inside and out. There's also other restaurants within the same building if Thai food isn't your bowl of rice that day!

I really wanted to like this place, but I'm honestly not sure why it has such good reviews. I respect them for offering a simple menu of comfort Thai food, and the pictures on the menu don't appear like they're trying too hard to look appetizing, what you see is basically what you get. It's interesting how they skip over popular classics like pad thai. Therefore, I was hoping that their food would blow me away, but it did not, not at all. The chicken is incredibly underwhelming, about as bland as it looks, just cooked but without much seasoning, same with the vegetables that come with some dishes. I tried the #4 which has peanut sauce, and honestly the sauce was kind of watery, also with barely any taste. I also thought the food was too expensive for what you get. The service is good and the employees seem nice, plus they get you the food quickly, but for me it does not make up for medicore food. Also, the restaurant wasn't the cleanest, with flies, though I was hoping that would have added to more authenticity in the food.

Best kids meal I've seen. Hands down. Plus everything I've ever ordered here has been bomb for years. We went for breakfast because we were on our way to another place and saw it was open. Sounded better. Hubby got the pork and rice and I got the chicken noodle soup. 2yo got all his faves: rice, chicken, tofu, and broccoli, with cucumber and nongs sauce. Yum. All the tea you can drink and at least 5 spicy addition options. So happy. Thanks for being open in the morning!

Seriously the best meal of my life! I ordered the Khao Kha Muu, and it was so incredible. The fatty pieces of pork melts in your mouth, and the tender pieces go so well with the vinegar sauce. They have free tea available which was delicious, and condiments such as chili oil, garlic, and ginger. The portion size was huge too!

Simple food served up hot! Chicken was a little bland, but I think the expectation is for you to douse the chicken in their secret sauce. You can also opt to use their 2 different kinds of soy sauces that you can mix with their chili and garlic.

Their portions are very generous!

My favorite place of all time 🩷

Good place

Best food in portland.

Nong’s is legendary in PDX. Really good comfort food!!

A favorite. Always great! Tho, their broth was better from the carts. Seems to be lacking salt, and the dehydrated garlic is a bit off-putting

Good chicken rice. Fair price.

This place is fire. Everything is good!

步郝齿，环境野茶

Truly, the most delicious simplistic complex meal you’ll ever have. Hands-down the number one! Get it every time. Probably three times a week. Carlos is the man!

Delicious food.
Friendly staff.

I've been enjoying Nong's simple but amazingly delicious Khao Man Gai since she opened her food truck over on SW Ankeny almost 16 years ago! Her perfectly poached chicken and/or tofu paired with her signature sauce that packs a fresh ginger and garlic punch is always a delight for my taste buds. I dare say that her peanut sauce is the best I've ever had. That, paired with steamed broccoli, rice and chicken/tofu is a weekly go to for me. That dish takes me back to 1999 when I first moved to Portland and discovered MUU-MUUs over on NW 21st. They offered up the same dish for a mere
$8.00, though Nong's tender chicken, supple tofu and peanut sauce truly surpasses that dish that now only exists in my memory. Nong's gets all of the stars!!!

One of the best places to get chicken and rice. They offer free tea

Ordered for delivery...was very good.

If a cart could be a restaurant.
The best chicken, rice and sauce there is.
Magic soup. Cures all ills.
Cosy, tasty and if you do one thing really really well.

If you know, you know. The chicken and rice here is to die for. If you haven’t tried Nong’s yet, here is your sign.

I was so excited for years to try this place but it was actually a disappointment. The place needs a huge cleaning. It's dirty and the free water glasses were too old. They need to be changed out. It's very unsanitary! I thought the chicken and rice was going to be great but really it was just ok. The ginger sauce was the best part of the whole meal. The people taking our orders were nice. Open kitchen so you could see what's going on back there and as a person that owns my own restaurant, the kitchen needs a good cleaning! Overall, the hype was not worth the 3 hours drive!

Love love this place!!!!! Such good food!

So delicious! With Great price.

Came back here after 5 years to eat their famous chicken and rice. The place is same as before but the food lacked something...ummmm! A bit sad!

Bland food

Soft chicken. Very good.

Rare to find food of this caliber at this price. I think it was under $10.

I was satisfied.

Saw this place online being raved about a lot, but turns out the food seems very bland. I get the Nong sauce is supposed to compliment and be the flavor to the unseasoned chicken but the peanut sauce it’s self tastes very one note. It costs 15 dollars for 4 ounces of chicken, a cup of rice and peanut sauce and a large palmful of broccoli. At most it should be 10. Really wanted to like this place but very underwhelming and it seems to mainly be a big hit for white people who haven’t tried more out there Thai food.

Not a very good Thai restaurant. Not sure why it has such high ratings. Very limited menu, and the limited choices are all not very tasty. We usually love Thai restaurants, and we've tried Thai restaurants in all the cities/states we've been to. Disappointed.

NOT LEGIT, NO THAI PLACE HAS BROCCOLI…
I am half Thai and have spent a good portion of my life so far in Thailand. I had heard about Nong's Khao Man Gai and several other "Thai" eateries (e.g. Pok Pok, Run Chicken Run), so I was curious yet reluctant to try them upon my most recent return from Bangkok.

I tried her khao mun gai, not just to test its authenticity but also because it is one of my favorites dishes, if prepared correctly. I looked forward to speaking with Nong, but was disappointed to find out that she no longer works in her food locations anymore because according to her cashier "she has too much money now" or as Thais would say "hi-so."

Nong leaving her food locations to her staff automatically made me think that the quality of food would slip. No surprise there, after trying Nong's Khao Man Gai, I am quite disappointed to see that she has followed in the footsteps of her peers/competitors.

Her food is:
-Grossly Overpriced
-Overrated
-Too Americanized
The service is:
- Lacking Thai Manners
- Totally Overstaffed

Considering 3 parts of this dish are super simple..l mean literally boiling chicken, cooking the rice in the chicken stock you got from boiling chicken, adding herbs to aforementioned chicken stock and serving it as soup, there is hardly any room for error.

Now, the MOST important determinant of khao mun gai is the sauce and it was way TOO watery and lacking flavor. Thais would be disappointed by the misrepresentation yet would applaud the initiative of making so much #$$ off of foreigners.

Also, you can’t have vegetarian Khao Mun Gai because chicken needs to be used to make the rice so a vegetarian version of this is just plain rice with tofu and steamed vegetables; another trick by Nong’s to get more $$$ out of foreigners 👏🏼.

Also, no legit Thai place in Thailand or in the world has a dish that’s a chicken peanut sauce rice dish; this dish is only for Americans, it doesn’t exist in any legit Thai establishment.

In the end, what it boils down to (pun intended) is this Americanized Thai staple is not worth $14+ especially since the portions are smaller than small sizes in Thailand (a small in the US is a large in Thailand) and it isn’t authentic. People would be better off making this at home from online recipes.

Thai people would admire Nong not for her food, but because she’s able to trick farang (foreigners/white people) into giving up their money for fake Thai food.

Got the main dish which was cooked chicken with no spice. Rice that was not fully cooked with some cold and tasty on the side.

I don’t know what is good about tasteless chicken and uncooked rice with cold sauce on the side, but I’ll never waste my money here again.

Holy cow. Simple, straightforward menu that is full of incredible flavor. We ordered the classic chicken and rice as well as a side of pork and steamed veggies. The sauces are all so flavorful and I truly wish we'd gotten a gallon of the soup--the most delicious chicken broth you've ever had. This place is a revelation.

Amazing food and even better customer service!

The chicken is so moist! It is pretty basic on flavor which is why they provide you all kinds of options to spice it up! The amount of chicken they give you is amazing for the price. I got the large and I think it was half a chicken! Anyway, great price and great food. The only downside is trying to find a place to sit. It's pretty busy so you just have to wait and grab a spot as they become available.

Best food in Portland. I never get tired of Nong’s. The food is so delicious and prepared with such care, it’s apparent in the way it tastes. Ultimate comfort food. Whenever I’m sick, had a bad day, or just feel like treating myself, Nong’s always makes it better.

I ordered a large Khao Man Gai through UberEats from this restaurant, and the experience was terrible. The dish arrived with no sauce, even though the sauce is a key part of the meal. I also requested utensils, but none were provided.

I tried reaching out to UberEats with no response, so I called the restaurant directly for help. Their response? They said they couldn’t do anything about it and told me to contact UberEats instead. When I tried calling the restaurant back for further assistance, they repeatedly hung up on me.

This level of customer service is unacceptable. If you’re ordering delivery, I’d strongly recommend avoiding this place unless you want to deal with missing items and a restaurant that refuses to take any responsibility.

I was really missing the Khao Kha Moo I had in Phuket, and when I found out this place serves it, I had to come and try it!

The pork leg in the dish was a bit leaner than expected. While the flavor was decent, the real essence of the dish lies in the fatty, gelatinous pork skin, which was lacking here—it felt like something was missing!

Every time we visit Portland, we make sure to stop by here – we've been coming for the past 4 years, and it never disappoints. The chicken is always juicy, moist, and tender, and it's absolutely perfect when paired with their delicious sauce.

When someone asks me what my favorite restaurant is in Portland, I say Nong’s every single time. There is not a more reliably delicious, authentic and nourishing meal around. Whenever I’m sick or have a stomachache the super soup is the first thing I eat to get better. The number 4 pork & rice has an incredibly rich pallet of flavors and textures — don’t sleep on this one! I come to Nongs almost every week knowing that I’ll be fully satiated, enjoy the relaxed atmosphere and have awesome service from the Nongs staff. Thank you for always being there Nongs!! 🐔 💛

My friend and I went there, as we were in town for a convention. The food was EXCEPTIONAL. Some of the best Thai Food I've ever had. I had the Khao Man Gai with peanut sauce, and my god, I have never had anything quite like it! It was so good, I've wanted more ever since I returned home, haha! I have told all of my friends and family about Nong's, and will definitely be back the next time I'm in Portland. The service was also amazing, we were greeted right when we walked in, everyone was so nice, and the service was quick, yet our food was hot and delicious. I WILL be back.

One of my favorite restaurants in Portland - the perfect thing to order to-go when you're feeling under the weather. The staff are so sweet, especially Carlos at the register! Love Nong's.

Got the chicken and rice. Awesome always have to stop on the way through town. Get. The Mango juice it's amazing

I don’t know what I would do without the super soup. It cures what ails you, medicine for body mind and soul.

I want to give honest review. I was here in 2021 and taste of rice on Khao mun kai is really good. Now, in 2024, I come back here again and notice that the rice tastes different from the last time. Still, the sauce and service are wonderful. Don’t forget to try Thai ice tea float. It was delicious.

A few months ago, I ordered a to-go from this restaurant and I found a finger nail in the dish when I got home, so I called them, they offered to refund or give me another meal and I chose refund, funny enough when I received the refund, I found out they kept the tips I paid 😂 I used to like them so much but this experience was truly disappointing and gross.

Chicken is tender and delicious!

Nong Khao Man Gai has fantastic food at a good price! The flavors are spot-on, making it a great spot for a delicious and affordable meal. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.

The main dish I miss about living in Bangkok is KMG. This place scratches the itch like nowhere I've been in the US

Yummy and affordable.

Love this spot! I always come whenever I’m in the area. It’s so tasty & authentic - the sauce is worth buying and bringing home.

Best kids meal I've seen. Hands down. Plus everything I've ever ordered here has been bomb for years. We went for breakfast because we were on our way to another place and saw it was open. Sounded better. Hubby got the pork and rice and I got the chicken noodle soup. 2yo got all his faves: rice, chicken, tofu, and broccoli, with cucumber and nongs sauce. Yum. All the tea you can drink and at least 5 spicy addition options. So happy. Thanks for being open in the morning!

Seriously the best meal of my life! I ordered the Khao Kha Muu, and it was so incredible. The fatty pieces of pork melts in your mouth, and the tender pieces go so well with the vinegar sauce. They have free tea available which was delicious, and condiments such as chili oil, garlic, and ginger. The portion size was huge too!

Simple food served up hot! Chicken was a little bland, but I think the expectation is for you to douse the chicken in their secret sauce. You can also opt to use their 2 different kinds of soy sauces that you can mix with their chili and garlic.

Their portions are very generous!

Very authentic. Home away from home. I’m Thai and if we had to pick one national dish, it would be Khao Man Gai (and not Pad Thai). This place does an amazing job of having incredibly authentic flavors, big portions (larger than in Thailand), and great ambiance. Thank you for having this place exist!!!

Chicken and rice with ginger sauce were very good. The soup was meh

Love these street thai food

Food: fast and fresh! I chose half black and half white as regular. The rice and chickens tasted very good and not to mention the soup ✨ the only thing is missing is the traditional green and red sauce that’s usually seen in Asia but this is decent!

Service: the staff will serve your plates to your table, and the one that helps us is very helpful and kind.

Ambiance: super casual

BEST RESTAURANT IN PORTLAND, NO QUESTION! If you like Asian food, this is a must try! Nong's TOFU PEANUT with KHAO MAN GAI SAUCE IS ***THE BOMB***!!!

The chicken was tender and they were generous with the steamed veggies side, but I felt like there wasn't a lot of chicken... at least mine didn't look like the other photos here? Anyway, it was tasty and I loved the soup!

Amazing food! What a shining gem in our city. It is so unassuming and delicious. You have to try to Khao Man Gai, it’s fantastic! You’ll want to take the sauce home that’s how good it is. (And you can!) definitely will be back. The staff is so kind too!

Went to Nong's for the first time on a trip to Portland. I wasn't disappointed . The Khao Man Gai was a wonderful treat. I ordered the larger portion (Piset) which comes with chicken livers. While chicken livers may not be everyone's thing I thought they were quite tasty. Sat outside at a picnic table and enjoyed the food.

So tasty. I stop every time I am near by. Best flavors perfect spice. O give you 10 stars at first bite.

Traveling from the Bay Area to Portland for work, I had high expectations for the food, especially after seeing Nong featured on Somebody Feed Phil. As a big fan of chicken and rice, particularly Hainanese chicken, I was excited to try it.

Unfortunately, I was let down—it was mediocre at best.

To provide context, I ordered through UberEats.
I ordered the Khao Man Gai, super soup, and Thai iced tea. When the order arrived, I was surprised to find the Khao Man Gai balled up, wrapped in wax paper. While I appreciate the (possible?) eco-friendly approach, it felt a bit odd to get my food like that. Also, despite specifically requesting utensils, none were provided (a minor inconvenience, as I was eating at a warehouse office where utensils are hard to come by).

The chicken in the Khao Man Gai was very dry, barely moist and lacking flavor. The rice lacked flavor as well; I’m used to it being cooked in chicken broth at other places that serve this dish, not sure if they do that here. Felt like I got plain boiled chicken and rice. The only redeeming factor was the sauce which made it more palatable.

The super soup was the highlight of the meal. The chicken was moist and the broth itself had some depth to it. As for the Thai iced tea, it was just okay—nothing remarkable.

I'm puzzled by the rave reviews. For me, it was just "meh."

So good with garlic and ginger mixed into the rice.

Consistent excellence. Great atmosphere, awesome staff, and perfect chicken and rice.

I had the chicken and rice with peanut sauce (Pra Ram) and it was probably the best pra ram I've ever had! The chicken was moist and the peanut sauce was the perfect texture and flavor! This is probably going to be my go-to restaurant when I'm looking for food in this area.

I really wanted to like this place, but I'm honestly not sure why it has such good reviews. I respect them for offering a simple menu of comfort Thai food, and the pictures on the menu don't appear like they're trying too hard to look appetizing, what you see is basically what you get. It's interesting how they skip over popular classics like pad thai. Therefore, I was hoping that their food would blow me away, but it did not, not at all. The chicken is incredibly underwhelming, about as bland as it looks, just cooked but without much seasoning, same with the vegetables that come with some dishes. I tried the #4 which has peanut sauce, and honestly the sauce was kind of watery, also with barely any taste. I also thought the food was too expensive for what you get. The service is good and the employees seem nice, plus they get you the food quickly, but for me it does not make up for medicore food. Also, the restaurant wasn't the cleanest, with flies, though I was hoping that would have added to more authenticity in the food.

We were brought to Nong's on a whim and had the khao man gai, the cold spring rolls, and a Thai michelada.

The chicken was so, so tender with such a nice subtle taste of ginger, cilantro, and other spices. The peanut sauce sealed the deal, and some extra ginger, garlic, and chili sauce on the side made it heavenly.

A sleeper hit was the rice. Not sure if it's cooked with the chicken broth, but it was so flavorful. I could eat it on its own.

The michelada, wow. The traditional michelada is getting a run for its money, because with tamarind and ginger along with the lemon juice and spiced salt, this was one of the best drinks I've had all summer!

Ok, home cook Thai food style… must try

No frills, solid, and efficient meal. Could be a tad cheaper, but understandable given the economic environment these days.

Got the pork and rice and there's nothing to complain. Great, home-y meal with solid nutrients and no bs. They serve it up real quick as well. The place was filling up, but I got my meal within 4-5 minutes.

Definitely recommend coming here over the downtown location. There's much more seating here, both inside and out. There's also other restaurants within the same building if Thai food isn't your bowl of rice that day!

Delicious every time!!!

Delicious food. Many people.

Good quality, authentic. Nice selection of sauces, although some plum source would have been nice. Will likely go back to try some more obscure offerings.

Nong's food is consistently excellent and flavorful!

Went here after we saw Nong on an episode on Netflix's Somebody feed Phil.
Ordered the default Khao Man Gai and the Tofu Peanut curry.
Bomb-a*# is the word! With the 2 chili pastes and the garlic soy sauces, the dishes were just gobsmackingly good. Didn't know chicken and rice were a thing in Thailand too!
Got Nong's sauce to go for later too.

It's just chicken and rice. And it tastes pretty good. But it's not that exciting.

It’s just chicken and rice, nothing special. I have better from just about every culture that does a chicken and rice dish.

absolutely delicious. let these pictures be my proof. i didn’t realize how hungry i was until it was all gone

Free hot tea, delicious spicy food!!! Very reasonable prices with both indoor and outdoor seating options

Absolute banger spot. 10/10 would recommend

Overrated. Bland without sauce. It’s literally cooked, unseasoned chicken. I’ve seriously tried this place 4 times, each hoping for a different result.

The ginger sauce is good but the peanut sauce has no flavor. The broccoli is literally just steamed, unseasoned broccoli… they don’t give you enough sauce to make that in any way desirable to eat.

it’s not bad, it’s fine…. Just not amazing. So confused by the rave reviews. “Perfect rice?” Really?

The best food! Simple, delicious, healthy food made with love.

The most fresh, clean, simple and delicious peanut chicken. Chill atmosphere with outdoor seating. Doable walk from convention center.

The ramen place is right next door. So when in doubt, try both restaurants ◡̈

Simple but good, price/quality ok

I was a little hesitant to visit because the reviews seemed mixed. But wow, the food is cheap, filling, and delicious. I split the large chicken and rice plate with my partner along with a side of veggies, small peanut sauce, and small soup (that way we both had our own bowl of soup). The portion was perfect. The simplicity of the food goes a long way. Very much comfort food.

Would definitely go again.

I tried the Chicken, Rice & Peanut Sauce, it was very tasty and sauce is perfectly balanced and the plate is generously portioned. The chicken is very juicy as well. I drank the thai tea float and it a MUST TRY because that coconut ice cream on top is light and delicate and when it mixes with the tea it creates a perfect taste.

My wife is tired and knows this dish very well, this is about average for this dish. I know it would be a unique thing to try for people that aren’t often in Thailand and this is a good representation of the dish but not that special. The rice could use a little more flavor. Recommended to try for authentic Chinese/Thai dish

The Khao Man Gai is delicious. Comfort food thar is what I call it. The chicken was super tender and full of flavor.

My boyfriend and I have covid and ordering Nong’s off UberEats has been a lifesaver. This place is fantastic in general, but especially if you need something to restore you. An absolute Portland classic.

Pork is my personal favorite the rice smoked in the juice is super good and flavorful but not a fan of the pickled vegetables on the side

This place is a GEM. I am so gratefull i get to eat here.

After. waiting in line for 15 minutes and ordering told me that they are at capacity and cannot take my order. Unacceptable.

An awesome and unpretentious place to grab delicious food. Felt kinda like we were in Thailand. Simple but done well and lots of great sauces to add. Wish I could have everything on the menu. Make sure you get the extra pickles!

Some of the best Thai food I've ever had. Service was prompt as well.

I’ve been here twice now, and the food really just stands up. It’s simple and so well done, I don’t need or want anything else. I would go here regularly if I lived in town. The best balance of flavors and ingredients.

Nongs khao man gai tastes like home.. and I'm not even from thailand. So many different tastes can be had from just their chicken and rice.

Delicious! Such a nice surprise in this part of SE. Food was awesome, lunch crowd manageable, and the outdoor seating was great.

อร่ิอยยยยย ไม่ได้กินข้าวมันไก่นานมาก รสชาติไทยแท้เลยคับ น้ำซุปดี กินแล้วคิดถึงประเทศไทยสุดๆ

Nong’s Khao Man Gai in Portland, Oregon, is a culinary gem that has mastered the art of simplicity and authenticity. Specializing in a single dish, the traditional Thai chicken and rice known as Khao Man Gai, this eatery offers an experience that is both unpretentious and deeply satisfying.

The star of the menu is, of course, the Khao Man Gai. The dish is deceptively simple, consisting of tender, poached chicken served atop fragrant jasmine rice, with a side of rich, flavorful chicken broth. However, what truly sets it apart is the sauce. Nong’s signature sauce is a perfect balance of savory, sweet, and spicy, crafted from fermented soybeans, ginger, garlic, Thai chilies, vinegar, and a touch of sugar. It elevates the dish to a new level, adding depth and complexity to every bite.

The rice is cooked to perfection, infused with the essence of chicken fat and aromatics, making it both flavorful and comforting. The chicken is always tender and juicy, demonstrating the care and precision that goes into its preparation. The accompanying broth is light yet flavorful, providing a perfect contrast to the richness of the rice and chicken.

The atmosphere at Nong’s is casual and welcoming. The focus is clearly on the food, and the minimalist decor allows the quality of the dish to shine through. The staff are friendly and efficient, adding to the overall positive dining experience.

Nong’s Khao Man Gai stands out in Portland’s diverse culinary scene for its dedication to perfecting a single dish. It is a testament to the power of doing one thing exceptionally well. For anyone seeking an authentic taste of Thai street food, Nong’s Khao Man Gai is an absolute must-visit. The simplicity of the menu might surprise you, but one taste of their Khao Man Gai will leave you understanding why this humble dish has garnered such a loyal following.

We ordered their most popular dishes and it didn’t disappoint! Very authentic and close to what we had in Thailand. Very good customer service too. Wish there are more parking spots tho

YUM! Excellent chicken and rice with peanut sauce 💕💕💕
The staff here is amazing 🤩
I get the large and can get 4-5 meals from it.

Really sad experience

The food was okay. I've had better chicken and rice. If you're on a budget, this is a good option. If you're visiting and budget is not an issue, you can honestly skip it and try other restaurants.

I lived in Thailand for ten years and this place absolutely passes the authenticity test. The chicken and rice is delicious, as well as the nam soup and the khao mun gai sauce. Pretty cool that you can add your own addition garlic, ginger, chilis, etc- just like in Thailand!

Simple comfort food menu, fast service.

Pretty darn good.

High volume, fast service. Food was fresh and wholesome but certainly not fancy. Very busy.

Nothing so special. Worth trying once. Should be last on your to do list if you are 1 time visitor. It is closer to 2.5 than 3 stars

The best ever, my fav food in Portland <3

One of my favorite spots in Portland! I've been going to Nong's over the years (even back when they were still a food truck!) and their quality hasn't changed!

When there are people visiting or new people moving to Portland, this is the spot I always suggest.

I think the only down side is it's hard to find anything here for vegans (correct me if I'm wrong, but I've also never really tried), but aside from that, there is something for everyone! The flavours are so delicious and authentic that you can't go wrong with anything in the menu!

Staff is always so friendly and the ambiance makes you feel like you're in a side street food joint in Asia (ok, maybe not REALLY since you don't have the heat, humidity, and noise).

Honestly the dish was amazing. I tried the signature dish and I was amazed. They were very quick with the food delivery. Which amaze me on how quick they were. I love the rice, chicken ( my fav) and the sauce. 10/10

Delicious food as always! Sweet folks and comes out so quickly.

my friends really liked the food but i thought it was just ok. the soup was probably my favorite part. cool vibes tho and free hot tea.

Love this place and it’s a staple for my family. Just tried the pickles this time and would 100% recommend with the basic Khao Man Gai. Yummy.

Solid spot for Thai chicken rice with indoor and outdoor seating. Chicken is juicy however the rice and soup are just okay. The sauces definitely make it even more flavorful!

Super tasty and authentic chicken rice! Plus quick service and a reasonable price. Thank you!

Food was fresh and great! I went twice during the trip to Portland.

Nong’s is always a must visit when in Portland. My go to is the number one with a mix of white and dark meat. The sauce is excellent, and I add lots of spice from the free condiment fridge. Very reasonable price for a high-quality meal. Staff is always awesome. Ample indoor and outdoor seating at the Ankeny location.

I first tried this style of dish in London, fell in love with it and was so happy to find a similar dish in Portland. I tell everyone I know to give it a go. Worth every penny and the staff are top notch. If you don’t stop in you’re missing out.

So good!

So simple but so delicious!

This was on the spendy side for me but worth every penny!! I took my brother visiting from somewhere with not many food options and he LOVED it too!! Very kind staff!!! I'll be back for-sure.

Really good food, good portion to price ratio. A fun place to try at least once.

清爽的海南雞飯

Here is a heartfelt ambiance of simple tasty street food style, order & dine, some of the best chicken and rice. The sauce station is a big winner.

I saw dish that looked delicious but unfortunately it was not the one I ordered. The Super soup is a dish that comes with chicken, rice, veggies, and seasoning. The dish I saw advertised was a completely different dish with noodles and fried chicken pieces (the order I wanted). I could have reordered but at this point I didn’t have time to wait. I’m conflicted with the great taste of the dish I didn’t ask for. So, I’m giving it 3 stars for false advertising and organization. Please clean up your menu board so that customers won’t run into this mistake. Thanks

Free tea, good food. Healthy. Fair prices. Can’t get better.

Food very taste

Meh... I'm used to really good Thai food, especially for the price.

This place has simple yet perfect dishes. I’ve never had better broth, chicken and rice. Our go to place when feeling under the weather, can’t recommend enough!

Great dishes. The chicken is the most perfectly cooked I’ve ever had and the sauce to go with it is excellent. The pork is also top notch; melt in your mouth.

Food was hot and great. Service was awesome! Atmosphere is casual with outside dining. Love this place. Eat here every time I visit Portland.

Love it here. People and food

Pork feet rice and chicken rice are delicious.

I love Nong's Khao Man Gai. It doesn't need a huge menu but a few best dishes you can offer. Her Khao Man Gai is excellent so does Khao Kha Moo. My new discover was this Chicken noodle soup with bitter melon and Lychee Margarita.

To me, this place is the definition of comfort food. Had a migraine and just wanted something simple that flavor. The super soup hit the spot and felt alot better after that. I have gotten the soup a few times and never disappointed. The service was awesome as well. The tall gentleman (whos name I forgot) was friendly and inviting. I also noticed if someone has never been there he explained everything and never rushed the person. Will happily go back. Also try the chicken skin it is the bomb

consistently fantasmo cooked chicken galore

I ordered family style food but what I got The food is very normal. I paid 60$. Seeing in the picture, I thought I was getting food on a tray, but what I got was 1 packet of rice. Is it too cruel to pay so much but get food for the normal price? It made me not dare to order food at a restaurant. This again is corruption.

The khao man gai I had at Nong's was deliciously tender and perfectly seasoned, complemented by aromatic rice and a zesty sauce that made every bite a delightful experience.

Fantastic food, great price. Definitely gonna come back again!

Trying this spot seemed like a must when in Portland and I'm glad I did. I got the classic Khao Man Gai which was very good. I loved the sauce that came with it too. The service was quick too. There is free street parking outside. No complaints.

The chicken and rice dish is a harmonious blend of tender, juicy chicken and perfectly cooked rice that delivers a comforting and satisfying meal. The chicken is seasoned to perfection, bursting with savory flavors that blend seamlessly with the fluffy, fragrant rice. Each bite is a delight, offering a warm and nourishing experience that leaves you craving more. The balance between the protein and starch is spot on, creating a well-rounded and fulfilling dish. It's a classic combination that never fails to please, making it an excellent choice for any meal. Whether enjoyed on its own or paired with your favorite sides, this chicken and rice dish is sure to become a staple in any food lover's repertoire. Their green Thai tea is also an amazing drink that deserves some recognition.

Their main dish is very simple, but so very satisfying. The soup that comes with it is amazing and so is the sauce. It’s also healthy for eating out so you always feel good after.

Limited choices, but very good.

So disappointing. I've heard so many rave reviews about this place but the food was bland. We could have had a better dinner by picking up a rotisserie chicken. Don't understand the hype.

wonderful first experience. Just with $2 extra to get the large KMG was sooo worth it. The pork and rice was good but the KMG was the bomb. Their chili and garlic add sprinkles to the top. We stopped by around 5:30pm and line started to form around 6pm.
