PDX eats: Langbaan

Langbaan. there is nothing i can say about this place any better than what's already been said - a) i don't know Thai food well enough to even begin to describe what i ate, and 2) everyone agrees, it's GD delicious. after waiting i think 4 months after making my reso, i was so happy to find that it was worth the wait - i had a blast trying things on the tasting menu i've never had before (or would never normally order), and flavors i would never conceive of putting together. mouth party! 

we sat right up against the kitchen 
and were able to watch these uber-organized, calm prodigy chefs assemble these crazy dishes. almost as entertaining as it was yummy:
