    So delicious! Everything was so good, it was one of the best meals in a long time. The chicken was flavorful, crispy, and so satisfying. The pad Thai was slightly sweet and chewy noodles. The best thing was the roti, it was crispy, light, and chewy. Dip it in the curry sauce and it was toe curling with every bite. To top it off, the servers were very nice and pleasant as well.

    Excellent! Thai fried chicken is great. Dipping sauce is sweet, sour and a little spicy. We got the chicken for two ($33) and an extra chicken skewer ($9) and a couple of sodas. The quality of everything is top tier, but I do find it a few bucks into the pricey range for the amount of food, but like I said the quality is fantastic. The curry...omg, it's a small portion, but packs the flavor of a gallon! Roti, lovely. It is order at the counter, which is not really this person's thing, but to each their own. Love the chicken theme here and years ago I bought my partner a shirt and he gets asked about it all the time. Seems like a weird thing to mention, but it speaks to the thoughtfulness of this business, right down to the actually you'll wear and use--sweet chicken merch. :) Thanks for brining something different to Portland, much appreciated.

    Second time here! The veggie curry broth is solid with the jasmine rice. The curry contains cauliflower, cherry tomatoes, and squash. The side of pickled vegetables is FRESH! It wasn't busy when I went, but there was a long line waiting during evening time. Since you order at the front, I recommend timing yourself before dinner so you're not stuck waiting for a table during the dinner wave.

    good meal, a bit pricey or competitive if ubwill but id give it a between a 3 or 3.5 out of 5 its a "order at the counter, get a number and sit + serve yourself" type of restaurant. got the brisket green curry and the hat yai combo set. good fried chicken w the sweet sauce. then again you cant rlly mess up fried food. the malayu style curry and roti was absolutely DELICIOUS, prob the best thing of the set, however it was a small portion, i really wish they gave more. the side of sticky rice was good but a bit hard. the briskey green curry was very spicy but didnt win me like the malayu style did. id say id generally suggest to anyone to just stick to their signature (the friend chicken, malayu style curry and roti)

    Good Thai - great flavors. Pretty decent pricing. I had the shrimp and fried tofu which was pretty tasty. The sauces were good. Favorite was the green curry brisket. Service was quick. The feel was casual. Self service water station. Open kitchen. A good place to grab a casual meal with friends or family.

    I met a friend here for dinner. They have a few tables outside to enjoy or plenty of seating inside. This is an order at the counter and they bring your food out establishment. They have a fairly straightforward menu, curry, fried chicken and a few other selections. They also have cocktails available. The food was good, not great in my opinion. I found the chicken to be bland (it came with a sauce that saved it). The pad Thai is good and different than a traditional pad Thai. The cucumber salad was incredible and a must order. Personally, I think there is much better Thai food in Portland.

    Had a great time at Hat Yai with friends. I love places where you order at the counter and pay up front so you can leave as soon as you're done. Great selection of tables both inside and outside on a Friday night. I loved the fried chicken set, as it allowed me to sample both the fried chicken and the curry. Perfect amount of food for one person, and the roti was delicious.

    Nice spot for a quick lunch in the area. Order at the counter, find a table, and they'll bus for you. Overall, the food was good but I seemed to nitpick one element of each item in the meal. Hat Yai for 2 (portion was perfect for two people, with a little bit leftover): - Roti was a little on the dense/doughy side, I would've preferred it to be more flaky and light. - The house curry was extremely rich and concentrated, a smidge too intense for me but very flavorful for dipping. - Though the fried chicken doesn't have that heavily breaded crust I'm used to, it was juicy and crispy. My gripe was that there was way too much white pepper used - every bite seemed to have a peppercorn crusted on the top. - Sticky rice was fine but slightly dry.

    Hat Yai is a spectacular place to visit with a group - servings are medium sized, so sharing as many different menu items as possible is a real treat. The spice levels are, for me, pretty much perfect. There's lots of flavor without anything being painful. It's not a huge space, so their order-at-the-counter arrangement works beautifully for cutting down the amount of time spent sitting at tables with nothing to do. They have self-serve water and to-go container stations, so this is a very efficient operation. After multiple visits, I'm happy to report that I have not yet found any one favorite item on the menu - this is one of the rare places where everything I've tried has been spot on.

    Recommend getting the chicken with the curry. The roti was nice and flaky. Also save room for the dessert roti

    Came with a party of 5 adults and 1 kid. We ordered a Hat Yai (fried chicken set) for 4 (with an extra roti), a regular fried chicken set, and a pad Thai. Ambiance: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Food was quick Food: 5/5 Everything was absolutely delicious. The roti went perfect with the curry. The cucumber salad that came with the chicken was refreshing and the chicken was deliciously seasoned! The pad Thai was also great. If I ever travel back in town, I will definitely swing by again

    I love fried chicken. All types of chicken fried all types of ways. Hat Yai has great fried chicken. The combo comes with a great curry and some crunchy roti too. That's really all I need to know about comfort food A casual place, like chicken spots should be

    Brisket Curry and cucumber salad
    Nami N.

    I visited Hat Yai Restaurant based on a friend's recommendation and ordered Southern Pad Thai, Brisket Curry, and Thai iced coffee online for pickup. There's no dedicated parking, only street parking around the restaurant. I was lucky to find a spot this time. According to Google search, the restaurant showed a break between 3-4 PM, so I rushed to arrive before 3. However, I later checked the official website and found different business hours, so I'd recommend confirming directly on their website before going. The food was decent overall--the brisket curry was flavorful. I'd give this place 4 stars.

And the…read moreice cream mix-in this week was Strawberry Kool-ade, which was an amazingly good formulation. Prices are not cheap, and an extra $1 for a little cup of extra peanut sauce really feels like nickle-and-diming to an unpleasant extreme. Seating is common with a few other small places, comfortable enough. Outdoor covered seating is lovely if the weather coöperates.

    Basilisk is another of those Portland restaurants I regularly visited on work trips to the city in…read morethe 2010s. It's been around 7 or 8 years since my last visit but I remember the fried chicken sandwiches coming with two thick, juicy, fried boneless thighs. I found it difficult to eat more than half a sandwich given the size and excess meat. Usually I would end up pulling one thigh out and saving it for later! I decided to visit again on a recent weekend trip to Portland, arriving for an early dinner at around 4:30 PM. It was surprisingly busy, with at least a quarter of the seats taken in the shared seating pool even though it was so early in the day. Luckily there wasn't a line to order and the food came out within 15 minutes. Fried Chicken Sandwich ($13) - Just as how I remembered, this sandwich is still huge with two breaded and fried thighs on a bed of lightly dressed, crunchy cole slaw. It's really tall and doesn't compress well due to the abundant crunchy elements throughout. There's the bun that's heavily toasted until extremely, almost aggressively, crisp and almost dark golden brown, absolutely doused in butter a la Texas toast. There are house pickles on the bottom bun, very quickly pickled such that it develops no acidity, but changes to that crunchy yet soggy pickle texture. The two chicken thighs are expertly breaded until full of crags and valleys, seasoned well, and fried until crisp. The crispy quality is of a lighter variety rather than a hard crunch, very delicate as compared to a typical flour based fried chicken dredge. The chicken is different from what I remembered. Instead of being juicy full thighs, almost an inch thick at the meatiest, these patties are thin, sad, like a single thigh butterflied and cut into fourths width-wise. The breading is far thicker than the chicken itself - in fact the chicken almost is an afterthought here, completely getting lost in all the breading and everything else in the sandwich. Seriously, look at some of the photos from other Yelpers taken in 2016 and 2017 and compare to my cross section photo. It's a huge difference. I bet it's a cost cutting measure and it certainly isn't an appreciated change. Maybe it's just a sign of the times - while the 2010s air waves thumped with 'All About That Bass," the thick thighs have now unfortunately been 2020s Ozempic zapped. The major downside of the sandwich is surprisingly the bun. It's by far the most dominant component of the sandwich. It's the crunchiest element and the butter flavor completely overwhelms the taste buds. This is why fried chicken sandwiches are usually served on soft and pillowy buns, or at least buns that are only lightly toasted, so the bread can focus on and cradle the crunch element rather than supersede it. This is the first time that I can recall a sandwich where the bun is the dominant entity. (3/5) Dandan Fries ($10) - These fries are deceptively filling. They're really snackable and give a distinct moreish quality. It's like a snack where I absentmindedly keep reaching in the bag for more and suddenly it's completely empty. The fries combine a somewhat lightly fried potato, a delicate crisp on the outside and an extremely fluffy almost fall-apart tender inside, with a nutty, spicy, and mouth tingly mala sauce. The sauce is thick, rich, filled with fatty goodness. It's actually a really good glue, adhering the crushed peanuts on the fries so well, nothing falls off while lifting the fries out of the bowl. I especially love the mini cornichons mixed into the fries. They add just a bit of sweetness and acidity that balances so well with the fatty dandan inspired sauce. Without them, I think the dish would feel far too rich. With them, the fries go down the gullet at a quick rate. (5/5) I can't help but feel a little disappointed at Basilisk. It's another one of those places that seems to have decided to sacrifice quality in order to keep prices relatively low. While I enjoyed the Dandan Fries, I'm not sure that's enough of a draw to get me to revisit. Bathrooms - Four unisex rooms shared with the other establishments in the building.

With delivery and tip, our total was about $79...which seems steep, but realistically their "sliders" are about the size of a standard Popeyes chicken sandwich with a HUGE piece of chicken. We got 4 sandwiches, fries, mac and cheese and the five piece mozzarella "slabs" (they're not sticks lol), plus I ordered a large ranch and Dave's sauce (like a better version of Chic-Fil-A sauce) and a small hot honey and Reaper ranch...so price pretty standard for the amount of food. The food traveled well and these were literally the best chicken sandwiches we've had. Chicken was juicy and crispy and a dry season that was insanely good. Slaw was crunchy and pickles were tangy. I added hot honey and Dave's sauce to mine and they were amazing. Fries are standard crinkle cut, but well seasoned and crispy. Mac and cheese was good, pretty much the exact kind you'd want as a kid...gooey and Kraft like flavored but with shells and a little wetter. Mozzarella "sticks" were good, I got them in Mild and if anything they were seasoned with the same seasoning they use for the chicken and very good, but surprisingly a bit too salty for me...I'd probably stick to the sandwiches and the fries to be honest. OKAY, but for the HEAT LEVELS: I debated for a while on which to order because I'd say we have a decent spice tolerance...like habaneros are my favorite, but I find them spicy. Buldak ramen is hot as heck, but manageable. To be safe, I got us each a Mild and Medium the first time and we noticed very little variation between the two, and maaaaybe a small spice kick on the back end with the Medium. That being said, we both agreed we'd like a little extra spice next time and considering the jump between Mild and Medium was so minimal, we figured Hot or Extra Hot would be good for us. WE WERE SO WRONG. We ordered again on Sunday. Two Hot sandwiches and one Extra Hot to share...and I highly recommend ordering either of those if you enjoy pain, anguish, are looking to smell colors and taste sounds; because I'm pretty sure we both almost simply passed away. I used half a large container of Dave's sauce on my Hot sandwich as well as an ungodly amount of honey...and by the time the tears in my eyes cleared I realized my fiance was just walking laps through the house in between bites. The flavor is still there, but at what cost? About 20 minutes after eating we both resigned to carrying the fireball in our stomachs to lie down and wait to succumb to our choices, only to awake 4 hours later with hiccups and burps that would make a fire breathing dragon envious. Just be warned if you like spice, you won't find it in the Medium except for at a totally normal amount, if you love spice...you'll find it and then hate that you did at the Hot or above amount. Suffice to say, we'll be returning often...or ordering (whatever)...but we're sticking to Medium even if that makes us wimpy. And if you know someone who chooses Extra Hot or Reaper for enjoyment, you should not only fear them, but get a restraining order...because something ain't right if you can enjoy that. And if you're chaotic like us and STILL want to try a higher spice amount, do yourself a favor and just order a single tender first to try the different levels so you can enjoy your meal fully without being surprised at how one level can increase the spice by 1% and then the next somehow jumps it up 50%. I wish there was a way to get a Medium-Hot one, but I'd still rather take the less spicy, more flavor. Anyways, perfectly cooked chicken, fast service and I'd highly recommend!

    4.5 excellent prices for lunch specials. Super fast. Egg deep soup was so so good…read more Mongolian beef was spicy, not what I expected but good. Orange chicken good flavor- too much breading. Nice service. Lots of food. We took some home and feel very full.

    We had a yummy dinner here. We aren't from Oregon so I can't write a comparative review to other…read moreChinese restaurants in Portland. Measured against San Francisco Chinese I give it 4 stars. Measuring it against Chinese in towns like my own Sacramento, I give it 4.5 stars. Love that they offer a Mu Shu chicken option because I don't eat pork - it was really good. A little too heavy on the onion (and the onion was in large pieces instead of blending in more with the dish as I'm used to), but it was still fabulous. The hand cut noodles were as great as advertised - definitely get at least mild spice to get more flavor than the no spicy (that's on me, I'm scared of what Asian restaurants think is "hot," especially Thai and Indian, so I will wasn't taking any chances with it and said no spice). Hubby said bathroom needs a deep clean and maybe a refresh so deducted a bit from that. Service was prompt and nice and not lurking which I appreciate. Lots of tables with Chinese people eating which is always a good sign in my book.
