HI-Portland

Soi 9

Soi means local street in Thai, and these streets are often filled with many food vendors and small eateries which offer the best of Thai cuisines. Our goal is to share with you some of the beloved street foods of Thailand, with a modern twist. We enjoyed these dishes while we were growing up and hope you will enjoy them as well. 10% discount when you show your key card from HI - Portland, Northwest 1914 W Burnside (19th and Burnside)
