Nong's Khao Man Gai
Nong's Khao Man Gai is a Thai restaurant located in Portland, Oregon which primarily serves Khao man gai, a chicken and rice dish originating in Southeast Asia.[2]
History
Nong's Khao Man Gai was founded by Nong Poonsukwattana in 2009. Poonsukwattana emigrated to Oregon from Bangkok, Thailand in 2003. She arrived with $70 and a suitcase.[3][2] Poonsukwattana began working as a waitress at several restaurants in Beaverton, Oregon before eventually receiving a position at Pok Pok, a Thai restaurant in Portland. At Pok Pok, she was the only Thai cook.[3][2] Poonsukwattana was later able to purchase a food cart off Craigslist for $1,300, and, in 2009, opened Nong's Khao Man Gai as a food cart at Southwest 10th Avenue and Alder Street, serving chicken and rice every day until the product ran out.[3][2]
The first brick and mortar restaurant is located in southeast Portland's Buckman neighborhood.[4][5]
In 2014, the restaurant was featured on Chopped.[6][2] American chef Andrew Zimmern visited for an episode of the Travel Channel series The Zimmern List.[7] Nong's Khao Man Gai was a vendor at the first Taste of Thailand festival in 2024.[8]
