Thai Champa
Thai food is to Portland as burritos are to San Diego and nobody really knows why. Thankfully, most of us love Thai food. Thai Champa is open until 3 AM Friday through Sunday and this means that you can hang out or get take-out from one of Portland’s most consistent food carts even when the night has grown very old. You even get a free crispy egg roll with each main dish. That means that your reluctant tag-a-long can try your food without eating any of it!
