\"SOI9<\/a>
SOI9 Thai, Portland<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We were invited to Soi9 last night, a Thai outlet on W Burnside. \u00a0It’s crammed into a triangular shaped space, which is interesting, and with a decor that is aesthetically gentle.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I don’t care much for Thai food, \u00a0in the Americanized-style, just as I don’t care for Chinese cuisine of the same ilk. \u00a0 Spoiled by the real thing living in Asia, I find the mass palatization of these types of foods to be so far off the mark as to usually be unpleasant.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We were served a wide variety of items from the menu, starting with appetizers, plowing through several entrees, a soup, dessert, and special beverages.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The majority of the items would fall into the “sweet food” category, the balance into the “savory” category.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mrs. BDB preferred the sweet (because she is, I suppose), while I preferred the savory (altho I could more properly be classified as “bitter” and not “savory”.)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Not much of the food was “hot”, tho the plain noodle dish, with “tamarind” sauce, had the most kick to it.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The servers were courteous and helpful. The portions are above average in size.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you like the typical Thai cuisine you are served in Portland, you’ll like this place. \u00a0Nice bar seating too, if you are traveling solo.<\/strong><\/p>\n
