I've eaten here a few times, both sit down and take out. Pretty disappointed in the tom yum... no tang, no spice, tough chicken. Gave a third star since I really liked the nam khao I had here previously. Not sure if I'll be back.

I will die on the hill that Cully Central is one of the best food spots in Portland and easily in my top 5, possibly top 3! I see other reviews say it's too salty- I love salty/savory so if you don't, keep that in mind. The Nam Khao is my favorite and I genuinely feel sad whenever I finish it because there isn't more. Second favorite is the Tom Yum. Amazing on a cold and rainy day. Lao sausage- amazing. Wings- delicious. Everything I've tried has been flav-or-ful....

This place has become one of my favorite restaurants in town. it's a 10/10 in the food department and the drinks are cheap. The flavors that they are cooking up in here are really bright herbal flavors combined with savory perfectly. It's also just a less common flavor profile among our more common Asian restaurants in town. You gotta get down here.
