Flavor unreal - Edit
We got the norah roll, samosa, rainy rangoon, see ew, iced coffee and hibiscus like soda. Every single thing hit so hard. Each of the starters came with a different type of dipping sauce. All of them where insanely flavorful and mouthwatering. This place is now in my top 3 restaurants

Amazing - Edit
Visiting town from Seattle friends recommended this new place. Showed up packed, found seat, easy to order food comes quick and it is AMAZING! Coconut mushroom linguine is great as is the masala noodles. Coming back.

Okay wow - Edit
This was the last restaurant on our Portland weekend (vegan food tour/birthday) and Norah hit it out of the park. We had the drunken noodles and bibimbap and I was honestly blown away. The drunken noodles were delicious and very spicy, plus they do not skimp on the soy curls 😍. The bibimbap was very flavorful and yummy. Cute ambiance inside too. Can’t wait to come back!

Delicious - Edit
I finally ate at Norah last night and the man who brought me there, a non-vegan, said it was the best vegan food he's eaten. I'm very anti-tempeh due to texture and taste and I tried some of his. Ohmydog, do they know how to make tempeh delicious to me
Read morePros: Delicious!

Superb Asian Fusion - Edit
Brought to us by Nan, the brilliant mind behind the original Kati Thai and Mestizo PDX, Norah have perfected vegan Asian fusion. They incorporate the flavors of Thai, Indian, Japanese, Vietnamese, Korean, Chinese, and more. Favorites are the Bibimbap, Pad Thai, See Ew, Drunken Noodles, samosa, Larb, and spicy holy basil!

Yummy food and drinks - Edit
My son and I tried Norah’s tonight and it didn’t disappoint. Fun atmosphere, busy for a Tuesday night and lots of take out. We enjoyed some great food and cocktails and the staff was hustling but very courteous and responsive.

BROOOOOOO 😍 - Edit
Y’all 😍 do yourselves a (censored) favor and EAT THIS FOOD. The coconut mushroom noodles were out of this world!! Got the Suki noodles too which were delicious (although ask for a spicy sauce 😉) and the Samosa were so crispy and airy (although they could’ve used more salt— but I love salt 😉) also got the Thai Tea cocktail and GOD DAMN it’s dangerous 💖 a wonderful spot!
Read morePros: Delicious food, Amazing staff, PRECIOUS VIBEZ
Cons: Spicier ❤️🔥, That’s , It

Run don’t walk! - Edit
I got a few things to try here, but I’ll be talking about the cauliflower curry for days to come. I could smell it long before I tasted it. Ginger and lemongrass permeated my senses. The richness and flavor in this dish is unmatched. Best Thai dish I may have ever had. GET IT!!!
Read morePros: Ambiance , Friendly service, Great choices

Good…and speedy too! - Edit
After a day of hiking, we had worked up some hunger. Lots of vegan spots to choose from in Portland (thank you, Portland!), but Asian food sounded good so we decided to give Norah a try. We ordered the samosas, pad Thai, and the croquette dish. Everything was tasty.
Read morePros: Flavorful food, Very speedy service, Cute space
Cons: Small serving sizes , On the pricey side

Declining food quality, rude front of house staff - Edit
I have been to Norah probably a good 8 times since they first opened. The food was great at first, but has been declining in quality and consistency ever since. There’s no attempt at bringing dishes out at the same time, so it’s pretty typical to get your main dishes out before your appetizers are ready. The worst part about this restaurant however is the front of house staff. We have repeatedly dealt with rude “servers”, though it’s not even fair to call them that considering table service isn’t offered. I can’t reasonably recommend Norah, as there are far better vegan Asian restaurants in town without the headaches of this restaurant.
Read morePros: Interesting pan-Asian fusion dishes
Cons: Poor service from front of house staff , Inconsistent quality of food

Fairly average - Edit
The setting is nice, if a little cramped. The food was good, but fairly ordinary. I was hoping for something a little more exciting. It's a mix of good options available at regular ethnic restaurants
Read moreIt's a good option for a group that can't agree on what kind of food to go out for. Go here, and everybody can find something they might like.
Pros: Nice setting, Good food
Cons: Not very exciting

Sooooo good - Edit
I totally loved this place!
Read moreMy boyfriend and I shared the mushroom linguine, bibimbap, mango sticky rice, and an iced matcha latte. Everything was delicious, especially the mushroom linguine which was totally strange but worked. Also the iced matcha was so good I’m not sure why but I just got really into it.
A tad pricey but the vibes in there were great and the dishes were all really satisfying. Want to come back and try everything!

Well done - Edit
Overall, very good and worth many future visits. I recommend checking with your server about spice levels, as some of the dishes may surprise you (in a good way). Looking forward to updating this 4-star review to a 5-star in the months ahead!

Great Upscale Thai food - Edit
Norah has a small seasonal menu that they change up regularly. When I went we got the larb croquettes which were beautifully served but also very tiny so if you are going with more than 2-3 people maybe get another appetizer. The larb had such an interesting flavor and texture combo though, I was very impressed by it. Then for my main I got the Suki which was good but I wish there was some sort of protein in there as it wasn't very filling, if I got it again I would add tofu for sure. Then for dessert we split the Mango Sticky Rice which was AMAZING! It was warm, sweet and creamy you've gotta try it if you go.
Read morePros: Cute decor, Seasonal Menu, Food was Fresh and well seasoned
Cons: Ordering System, Small appetizer portions

Great atmosphere, yummy food - Edit
Loved the vibe of the place and that it's all vegan and plenty of options. I will say I wish they had a few more different options with more veggies and no peanuts or coconuts on more options. It is also a bit pricey but overall loved!
Read morePros: all vegan, great vibe , yummy pad thai
Cons: not enough options without nuts, expensive

Among the best - Edit
We ordered 3 appetizers and 4 entrees, all were excellent. The food came out amazingly fast; it would have been impressive if we were the only ones in there but the place was almost packed. We'll be back for sure.

Unbelievable - Edit
We ordered the samosas, cauliflower curry, mushroom linguine, ty-basil cocktails, and mango sticky rice. Everything was out of this world delicious and refreshing. The linguine was definitely the star of the show, but the cauliflower was also incredible. If someone put a huge platter of the mango sticky rice in front of me, I would probably eat it until I was sick. I’ll definitely have to visit again any time I’m in Portland. If you’re thinking about trying Norah, stop thinking and just go.

My new favorite - Edit
I ordered take out, had the pad Thai with a side of garlic greens and the sautéed mushrooms. The pad Thai was a generous portion and everything tasted great. Mushrooms were cooked just right & tasty. I really enjoyed my meal and will return to try other menu options!
