there isone restaurant for every 13.5 Thai peoplein portland

Number of Thais in the Portland metropolitan area: 1,757 Number of Thai restaurants in the Portland metropolitan area: 130 That's one restaurant for every 13.5 Thai people.
"I called Ken Rubin, who is the academic director of the culinary arts program at the Art Institute of Portland and holds a Masters degree in the anthropology of food. Rubin said he hadn't given much critical thought to Portland's Thai cuisine, but after a few seconds of musing, hypothesized that our city's seemingly insatiable appetite for Thai food stems from the cuisine's unique flavor profile, which strikes the right balance between the exotic and the familiar for the American palate."

they are cool because it does not taste like every other thai restaurant.
I would recommend the soy "pepper steak" just ate some minutes ago actually.
My girl says it is the best tempeh she has ever had.

My understanding is that tempeh is better for you.. less processed yadda.. but who knows.. have never been much of a fan for soy meat emulations.. usually just go for tofu, but may give it a try. Peppersteak is not something I associate with Thai though

I really enjoy seitan when done right.

i've heard tempeh is less processed and generally healthier, but i honestly haven't done any research on the matter so i wouldn't quote me on it.
anyways, i tried Vege Thai the other day, and i hate to say it, but it was by far the worst Thai I've had in Portland lol. it was very, very bland... i asked for extra hot and spicy and i'd give it a -3 on a 1-10 scale. a friend liked it though

new thai on division is def not bland. if you really dig spicy, ask him (Samai is his name) for "Thai spicy".
We also have some REALLY awesome food carts in PDX.
