Norah, a bamboo-adorned dining venue on SE Belmont, presents a vibrant range of innovative vegan dishes that elevate traditional Thai flavors. Founded by Ketsuda "Nan" Chaison, who previously worked at Kati, the restaurant showcases unique offerings like massaman curry-stuffed masa samosas and larb croquettes. Chaison, who moved from Thailand to the U.S. and honed her culinary skills through various experiences, reflects a commitment to resilience and creativity in her approach to cooking. Her influence is evident across her restaurants, which highlight her rich culinary heritage while catering to dietary preferences.
Norah is not just a Thai restaurant; it defies simple classification, being entirely vegan while embodying the culinary creativity and warmth of its cofounder, Ketsuda 'Nan' Chaison.
Chaison's journey from a childhood in Southern Thailand to becoming a prominent restaurateur in Portland showcases her resilience, creativity, and her passion for vibrant, plant-based cuisine.
