Nom Bai, a new food truck serving Cambodian and Vietnamese street food, will launch in Portland sometime in the next three weeks.
The truck is owned by Matthew Glatz, owner of the Salt Box Café, a “tiny house food truck” that serves breakfast and brunch on the Eastern Promenade. Glatz recently built a new food truck and has hired Sovanna Neang, who is of Cambodian heritage, to run it. The menu consists of Vietnamese sandwiches, charbroiled meat skewers and handmade rolls.
Neang previously worked at Sapporo, a Japanese restaurant on Commercial Street in Portland, and will write the menu for Nom Bai herself.
“Her menu is simple Cambodian and Vietnamese street food,” Glatz said. “They’re family recipes that have been in her family.”
Glatz said the truck will debut at a local brewery as soon as he gets his license from the city, “hopefully before Labor Day.”
