3. Pork Meatballs (GF)
Phuong N.

Overall, pretty good experience. I like the flavor for broth and the diversity of topping. I've been to Thailand before, and I enjoy how restaurant is Decor very street Thai style. I personally don't like their salad and the meat ball a lot. The meatball is a little bit soft for my taste. The salad is too simple. The restaurant is not very kid friendly because I tried to find changing table for my baby and there's no changing table in the bathroom.

The sweet and sour broth and a Mango Sticky Rice cocktail
Scott S.

I really like the simplicity of the place with easy ordering and very quick order delivery. The mango sticky rice cocktail was nice and light but left something to be desired. All the ingredients are very nicely done and was pleasantly surprised by the minced pork patty as it stayed together not falling apart becoming a pain like happens at some other places. Staff was friendly and restaurant aestherics are fun.

Left to right: Bangkok Mule, Chrysanthemum Tea, Mango Sticky Rice

We had an absolutely incredible experience here! When you enter, they have you sign in and wait to be seated. Because it was pretty much empty, we were sat right away. The hostess walked us through how to order in detail-- you scan a QR code and order that way, but they bring your food to you and bus your table. There's a water station and to-go containers available as well. I felt like the hostess was super friendly and made sure we were comfortable ordering, and assured us we could come order directly if we got confused. I was so excited to see that a ton of their menu can be made vegan! A lot of places limit broth options especially, but that wasn't the case here. Their menu is very clear about what is and is not vegan, and about allergens-- I rarely see it spelled out this cleanly, and it was much appreciated! We ordered three drinks. The Bangkok Mule was excellent, the Chrysanthemum Tea was lovely and had that very sweet honey come through well. The Mango Rice stole the show-- it actually tastes like, well, mango sticky rice, but it was strong and refreshing as well. I highly recommend. My partner got the namesake-- Guay Tiew Ruea. He thought it was wonderful. Every variation of their pork was cooked well, including the mince, which is often hit or miss. I ordered the Ya Ta Fo, and was blown away. It is the PERFECT spring/summer dish, very light, acidic, and savory. It also has the added bonus of dying the noodles and tofu pink! Truly, one of the best Thai dishes I have ever had. They also brought out some hot sauce and chili crisp. A staff member talked us through what the hot sauce was (habanero vinegar) and advised us to add slowly. The chili crisp was a delightful addition to my noodles, and my partner liked the hot sauce in his (the vinegar brightened everything nicely). I greatly enjoyed dipping our spring rolls in the hot sauce too. Overall, an excellent meal. I walk by this building nearly every day, so I've been anxiously anticipating the opening of the restaurant. How exciting that it lives up to the hype!

The interior of this place is so cute, looks great at night time! I got to try their Guay tiew ruea and hibiscus & tequila drink. Both were good, my favorite was mango sticky rice drink. The service was quick, and I was able to order through phone by scanning a QR code at my seat. It was super convenient and quick.

I got the clear broth with thin rice noodles. It was delicious and exactly what I was craving. I only wish they filled it with more broth because that was the best part.

24. Yen Ta Fo Broth
Sophia F.

A flavorful, easy-to-navigate menu with a wide range of broths, noodles, and add-ons, along with stir-fry dishes, spring rolls, and more. Everything feels thoughtfully balanced and cohesive, with each dish delivering on flavor without being overwhelming. Don't skip the cane sugar drink either--it's delicious. The ambiance adds to the experience. Clean, comfortable seating is framed by large windows, with checkered tables that make for great photo moments, plus street-style lighting and neon accents that give the space a fun, modern edge. You really can't go wrong here, but a few favorites stood out: the pork spring rolls, the house curry broth with ba-Mhee (egg noodles), and the Yen Ta Fo broth. The ordering process is simple and efficient. Upon arrival, you add your name to a clipboard and are greeted shortly after. The host walked us through the menu, ordering system, and self-serve water stations, which made everything feel seamless. When you're ready, you place your order by scanning the QR code at your table, then sit back and relax. Our food arrived in about 20 minutes, even with the restaurant about half full. Another detail we appreciated--you can close out your tab and head out whenever you're ready, without waiting for a check, and the staff clears the table after you leave. Overall, a really pleasant first visit. We'll definitely be back.

We had no plans to eat, but we stumbled across this lovely gem while strolling down the sidewalk. Upon looking at the menu, the cool streat decor, and the overall vibe, we had to stop and try it. Sure glad we did, because the experience was pretty fantastic. We were immediately seated, ordered on our phones from the QR and it wasn't long before we were served. This particular Thai offering is considered Thailand's street staple foot. I had the boat noodle, number 21, Guay Tiew Ruea with poached egg and egg noodle. I also had the Gin, Basil, Lemongrass cocktail. My wife had number 25, guay jab, with thin rice noodles. Her cocktail was the sticky rice cocktail. The broth, noodles, and remaining ingredients all came together to make a most enjoyable meal. Each with its own unique flavor and texture, it will be awesome to try another version on the next visit. We didn't dig into sides/appetizers at all this time, but will make sure to do so on the nex trip. Overall, the experience was more than satisfying, a super great value, and the staff was very helpful and kind. Wish this new business well and will definitely be coming back!

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.

We had to wait a bit for a spot to open up but soon were able to sit with a high chair (located in the middle near the entrance). We got our number after ordering and food quickly came out after our wait to sit. We got Khao Man Gai Piset (with liver), Khao Kha Muu and chicken skins. 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.

We had an awesome experience at Zaap! We went at an odd hour but they were ready and on their game!…read moreSuper friendly service and we had a tall beer in no time. The egg rolls were really good, so was the Duck Curry, but the fried rice stole the show. Something so simple packed with so much flavor. Very laid back vibe, with a bit of a dark subtle decor that allows for a solid date spot as well.

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.

We are greeting letting us know to come to the front of the counter to order although the sign says Please wait to be seated. A little confusion but with smiles, so we are happy. They are moving chairs... sit here..or here. A stack of menus by the point of sale...but you know this place is good by the smells, laughter and the smiles, the vibe...you want to be here everything is moving smooth. The person same person that guided us with the menu also delivered one of the dishes. We order some Thai ice teas, Pad see ew and Tom kha gai. The noodles fat wide on the Pad see ew. Some veggies huge bomb shrimp cooked perfectly, everything cooked spot on. The soup cream coconut flavors a little steamy on the cool day in Portland. Great tasting. They stop by to drop off the food and come by later delivering spices and checking on us. A bustling place. I see an egg plant dish.. must try that... the crowd is upscale... the food some of Portland's finest.
