According to a recent permit filing, Norah plans to expand with a new Alberta location at 1451 NE Alberta Street.
A representative of Norah was not immediately available to comment upon What Now Portland’s request.
While an official opening date has yet to be confirmed, according to the company website, “Norah” refers to a traditional dance reserved for celebrations and community gatherings in southern Thailand where Nan and Prae grew up.”
“The dance is a symbol of community vitality. we hope to bring that same energy of togetherness to the food we serve. The Norah family is excited to welcome you in. we are so happy to bring the distinct flavor and elegance of pan-Asian cuisine to the community of Portland. Our hope is that Norah will be a space for the community to gather, celebrate, and above all, eat!”
Norah currently has a location on SE Belmont Street. The two people mentioned on the website to be behind Norah are Piyaporn Nobnorb, who is listed on the liquor license, and Nan Chaison.
