Because if you don't, I will eat at Kesone every day! Thai is my favorite food and I could eat it daily. In the past Pok Pok and Typhoon have been my favorites. Not any more! Kesone serves the best Thai/Lao food in Portland and as one other poster said, as soon as the foodies of Portland find out about this place Kesone will need to hire more staff!\r

I ate lunch there a few days ago with a client. Kesone has a nice atmosphere and an extensive menu. There is also a full bar.\r

As per the owner's suggestion, we ordered the larb salad with chicken and the namm kao Vientiane and both dishes were mouthwateringly delicious! Explosions of flavor with every bite. We didn't notice the lunch portion menu on the back of the menu so we ordered the dinner portions and they were very large. I had food left over so my boyfriend ate it for dinner that night. he insisted we go back for lunch again the next day.\r
\r
Once again, we ordered off the dinner menu. We had Pad kee mao (drunken noodles) and the namm kao Vientiane (again!). The pad kee mao was the best I have ever had and I spent 5 weeks in Thailand last year so that says something! We were talking about the size of the portions when Kesone pointed out that there are lunch portions on the back! Two dinner entrees would easily feed 3 hungry people.\r

Save room for dessert so you can have the sweet sticky rice with mango, a simple but scrumtious Thai treat!\r
\r
I can't wait to go back and try some of the curries!\r
\r
Cheers!\r
