Guidebook for Portland
Food Scene
Portland is overflowing with good Thai restaurants, but Boda is an easy favorite. The unique menu offers authentic dishes you won't find in other places. They're also open past midnight, when options are more limited. The wait can be long during peak times in the summer, though, and they do not take reservations.
