Nong’s Khao Man Gai

Nong's Khao Man Gai is a beloved Portland institution built around one signature dish: Khao Man Gai, a perfectly poached chicken and rice served with cucumber, soup, and the restaurant's famous garlic sauce. The Downtown location on SW 13th Ave is open every day, and a second spot on SE Ankeny keeps the same hours for the eastside crowd. Vegetarian and vegan versions of the dish are also available. Reviewers consistently describe the meal as comforting, flavorful, and deeply satisfying. Nong's bottled sauce ships nationwide for fans who want to recreate the experience at home, and catering is available for office parties and special events.
