About Kuno

Kuno is a restaurant known for its delicious and flavorful food. Popular dishes include char kway teow, nasi goreng, green curry, Brussel sprouts, and pandan cheesecake. The spring rolls are described as crunchy and delicious, and the "Oriental chicken something something Lo Mein" is noted for its unique spice. The restaurant has a small, cozy atmosphere with close seating and a bar, making it a great spot for late-night dinners. The Brussel sprouts are perfectly crisp, flash fried in a mild sambal chili, and still tasty as leftovers the next day. The green curry features fresh vegetables and tofu swimming in a lot of flavor. Customers have praised the chicken fried rice for its big portions and delicious taste. The chicken stir fry and shrimp noodles are also highly regarded, along with the vegetable pad thai and crispy tangerine chicken. The fried rice for a child is made with no heat or pepper, which was happily devoured by a 7-year-old. During visits, there is often a steady flow of takeout orders, making it a hidden gem in Portland. The space is simply and comfortably appointed, ideal for sit-down dining or takeout. The ingredients are of good quality, and the prices are reasonable. The owner and staff are friendly, hard-working, and efficient, providing good service. However, parking can be difficult to find, as the area mainly has paid parking or garages. The restaurant has a homey and welcoming vibe, with great energy and very good drinks, like the incredible basil lemonade and nice cocktails. Some service aspects, like the waiter speaking softly, can be a bit frustrating. Overall, the food is pretty great and worth a visit, with many customers considering it the best Thai food in Portland.
