Eem is a Thai barbecue restaurant and cocktail bar in N Portland's Boise neighborhood, opened in February 2019 by chef Earl Ninsom (Langbaan), pitmaster Matt Vicedomini (Matt's BBQ), and bartender Eric Nelson. It was named Restaurant of the Year by both The Oregonian and Portland Monthly in 2019 and repeatedly wins Willamette Week's "Best Thai" reader poll, pairing Texas-style smoked meats with bold Thai flavors. The non-alcoholic program, inspired by co-owner Nelson's own sobriety, lives in a dedicated "Clear Headed" menu section of four named zero-proof drinks at $8 each — about half the price of the full cocktails — built with the same house shrubs, cordials, and NA spirits. Named pours include the cucumber-yuzu Approved by Chef, the hojicha and strawberry-guava Secret Serendipity, and the coconut-pineapple That's It, That's All. Heck N/A beer rounds out the list.
