It's a super cute date night spot & there's tons to do around the area while you wait! The white curry was my favorite dish out of all three, which is super surprising because I'm not typically big on soup. The fried rice was perfect also. The papaya salad i will say is on the spicier side (I can handle my spice pretty well). Eating it with bites of white rice was helpful! It's so so good, but I couldn't enjoy it after the spice built up. I also got their Thai Tea that comes with oat milk (and no other milk options). I'm a huge fan of oat milk so it was good for me, but I know others couldn't have it because there weren't alternatives!

I'll start by saying this place is definitely not big so come with the expectation that you might have to wait for a table. There's only about 8-10 tables in the place and it's definitely geared towards smaller groups. Regardless we ordered at the front and then were able to find a seat. Wound up ordering the combo to try and get a taste of everything. The portions were solid and everything was super tasty. The chicken is perfectly breaded and delicious. It's a bit of a messy meal so just come with that in mind. Have a bunch of different options that also looked tasty. Will have to come back and try again. Service was fine. They were kind and cleared the table. Water is self serve at front of the restaurant and they clearly do a fair amount of takeout. Cool local spot to definitely check out.

The sauce they use with the chicken and rice is great and is worth buying to take home to make your own dishes better. There is a good amount of seating both inside and out. I also tried the pork which was good but I prefer the chicken so will stick to that on a future visit. I have tried a lot of places that do the same thai style chicken and rice and it's almost always a miss for me, something is always off, usually the chicken is touch, or too dry, or lacking flavor but here it just hits right.

The kids ate so much and the hainanese chicken was a kid friendly favorite! We really enjoyed the Khao Kha Muu which was similar to an adobo with yummy pickled mustard greens. The meat was tender and marinated so well. The liver is always enjoyable by me and everyone ate the skins which were so crispy! The 2 meals were large and fed all of us well. Please remember to bus your own table!

Service was efficient on a weekday for lunch. I was very impressed that the woman serving us also cooks. She said she has one other person helping her over the weekend. The food was SO DELICIOUS. This was the best pad Thai we had with such depth of flavor - not too sweet or oily, just perfect. We also had the pad kra pao, eggplant and tom kha. The tom kha had good flavor and with a thinner broth that I'm used to which was fabulous. The eggplant was so delicious - the consistency was incredible. Not too soggy, just right. I also tried the mango sticky rice. For drinks we had the Thai lemon tea which tasted like Thai iced tea without the milk and lemon added - delightful! We even bought an extra dish to take with us to go. Amazing place. Ambiance is casual. I can't wait to return.

I was starving after a workout and was pretty full after eating this. My wife got the Ba-Mhee Tom-Yum which had great flavor with a good kick, my wife can't handle spice well and struggled a bit but it was perfect to me. Egg noodles were perfect and not soggy.

It is, in a word, perfect. I can only imagine what their other offerings taste like, but I myself may never know because the Green Curry is just that good. Add in excellent and attentive service and a very Portlandesque atmosphere and Paadee is a definite winner. Easily one of the best Thai restaurants in the city. If I were to pick one thing to gripe about it's that it's so good that sometimes seating isn't available, but good for them. Get it to go instead if that happens.

Most of my friends liked their dishes, but I honestly was disappointed with the crab fried rice I ordered.

Otherwise, I did try their Pad Thai, and that was pretty good and tasted authentic. The service was also friendly and great. If your about the ambiance, its pretty IG friendly with the colorful wallpaper and decor. Give this place a try if you like creative thai food, and ur about the vibes. Just don't order the crab fried rice.
