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. 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. The chicken stir fry and shrimp noodles are highly praised, and 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 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. Some service aspects, like the waiter speaking softly, can be a bit frustrating. Overall, the food is pretty great and worth a visit.
