Boda calls itself a "Very Thai" kitchen and bar, set on Congress Street in downtown Portland. The menu runs alongside a full drink program, and among the dishes, quail eggs and curry puffs have emerged as standouts with regulars.
The room draws a loyal, repeat crowd and gets crowded on busy evenings, with service — including a server named Kenzie, often singled out by name — cited as a consistent part of a fast-paced, friendly atmosphere.
Boda was named a semifinalist for the James Beard Foundation's Best Chef award in 2012.
