In a city as food-centric as Portland, Kuno is the quintessential success story: what started as a pop-up and food truck purchased from an already established Thai restaurant is now a brick-and-mortar serving exceptional food. In this particular case, Kuno showcases owner Nick Yee’s family recipes for stellar Southeast Asian dishes like char kway teow and crab wontons. But menu items like the Asian fried chicken sandwich and nasi goreng fried rice, plus cocktails like a Basil Gin Smash, are also winners at this cozy Bayside restaurant.
