"Smack-dab in the middle of one of Portland’s great restaurant rows, Akkapong Earl Ninsom’s casual Thai spot is serving a dish not often seen in Portland restaurants. Featuring crunchy pork belly, slices of pork loin, and pork meatballs in pork broth, ba mhee phitsanulok is a massively pig-heavy, savory-tangy egg noodle soup that’s hard to forget. The addition of crunchy peanuts adds a nice textural contrast to the noodles and pork." - Rebecca Roland, Nick Woo, Brooke Jackson-Glidden
