Pork broth served with dish
John H.

TL;DR Cheaper eats and gourmet deliciousness My wife and I wanted to try one of the restaurants that made the yelps top 100 nation list. And this honestly did not disappoint. Again I preface that I tend to be more generous towards local businesses when it comes to ratings on yelp due to our ever in reading reliance on the yelp, open table or google review on a restaurant, bar or social area. Believe me when I say this is a place in Portland you don't want to miss, I appreciated the vibes and the rnb and hip hop vibes the bar was bringing. But you aren't here to read this for the vibes, you're here to read this for the food. My wife had a delicious Thai curry and I have a delicious rice plate with the most crispiest of pork, complementary sausage and flavorful sauce. I tasted my wife's dish which was equally umami filled and delicious and it was TOFU which I am not a fan of normally. Anyway before this review gets too long, go ahead and enjoy these photos of the good food we experienced and know it is worth your time.

Special 1.1. Khao Moo Dang (GF)
Shawn N.

We have never had Thai soup noodles before outside of khao soi. Despite having to eat outside in the rain because their restaurant was under renovation, and having to deal with the homelessness in Portland our food was amazing. Negatives: -restaurant was under renovation so we had to eat outside. There was a patio covering for the outdoor dining. However, that did not prevent the homelessness from coming up to the patio, opening the door and asking us for money. We were visiting from LA though, so it's wasn't that awful. In LA it smells like pee too ‍ I understand their situation, the only people we can truly blame are the city and the people in charge ‍ Positives: -i got the house wonton and it was amazing. Despite having to eat in a Togo box, I didn't care. It still tasted amazing. My wife had the tom yum noodles and it was amazing for her too. We have had tom yum before, but the flavor this soup had took it to a different level. -prices were reasonable Overall 5/5 I can't blame the restaurant for the negative experience we had due to external factors. Based on the food and prices alone this is a 5/5

Khao Moo Dang is an authentic Thai-Chinese eatery known for their delicious comfort food. This spot is located in the Hawthorne neighborhood where there is a good amount of street parking. Inside, they have cozy setup with seats indoors and outdoors at their patio. For their menu, they have a solid selection of dishes to choose from. Wifey and I ended up getting the Ba-Mhee Pi-Set (Dry) and a Lychee Hibiscus Juice to share. We really enjoyed the authentic and comforting flavors. All of the staff here are very friendly and welcoming. You really cannot go wrong with anything you order here!

Good & quick service! You order at the counter & find a table. Cozy space. The food is phenomenal! Packed with flavor, worth the price. The drinks were very yummy as well! Lots of sauces to garnish if you dine in!

Khao Moo Dang is one of those spots that I think is worth trying, even if it didn't completely win me over on my first visit. I ordered the original Khao Moo Dang rice dish, and while it was good, it didn't quite stand out as anything memorable to me. The Thai ice tea though was very tasty. The portion size is no joke, very generous to the point where I left extremely full (almost a little too full). If you're hungry, this place will definitely deliver. I do think I might have enjoyed it more if I had gone with a noodle dish, so I'd be interested in coming back and trying something different. The service was fast and efficient, and the food came out quickly. Parking was also pretty reasonable on a weekday, and there was no wait when I went. One thing to note is that the restaurant itself is quite small. I can easily see how the hype could make it feel crowded on weekends, so going during the week is probably your best bet. So, Khao Moo Dang is a solid spot with big portions while being pretty inexpensive, so worth checking out, especially if you're curious to try it for yourself.

Food is sooo good. Tasty, flavors bursting. Crispy pork belly is cooked perfect. Yum!

Khao Moo Dang is a staple Thai restaurant for me that I keep coming back too. My only complaint is that they need a bigger location to accommodate for their popularity, as it can get pretty crammed with people. They have a moderately sized menu with pretty reasonable prices. The food comes out fast and they have condiments you can add to any dish to elevate the spice level. My favorite is the tofu curry noodle. The egg noodles are satisfying to eat with the perfect chew, the tofu has a nice spongey texture, and the curry broth is comforting, creamy, and aromatic. I have also tried the Ba-mhee tom yum soup and the signature khao moo dang dish, which were both amazing.

#12 Coconut broth
Olivia A.

The food here is delicious! Tasty colorful bold favored dishes, house made dumplings, and house made sauces and seasonings. They offer dry noodle and broth noodle dishes (and more). We ordered the #12 (coconut based broth, spice level 2 IMO) and #7.2 (w broth spice level 4) and house made dumplings and two beers. They have indoor seating, and outdoor covered seating. The indoor seating can be a little busy, so if you go with 4 or more during the busy time (dinner) might have to wait for a bigger table. The establishment was clean and had trinket decor and history to admire. The service was fast and they were very nice! I think this little business is a staple. Our friends go regularly, as we will too now!

Anything short of five stars is criminal. My new favorite obsession. Best food with amazing customer service!

Ba Mhee Pi Set  (Dry Version)
Beto R.

Located in the trendy Hawthorne area of Portland, we decided to visit the restaurant after reading its raving reviews on Yelp. There were people lining up at the entrance even though it was past 2PM. Inside, with its casual décor, was quite cozy with seating for 25 guests max. They added side yard and curb areas that could accommodate 30 more. A side note: The seating is assigned after you have placed your order at the counter. After browsing through its overhead menu, we ordered the following dishes: Dumpling Soup Noodle with House Bone Broth (with Egg, Sweet Sausage, and Pork Belly Add-Ons): The lightly fatty broth was pleasantly flavorful. The thin egg noodles were cooked to perfection. The sliced pork loin pieces were tender, the pork belly cuts were juicy with crispy skin. Then there were savory dumplings, sweet sausage, egg, and the party kept going. Kha Moon Dang Pi Set: The sauce was savory and a tad sweet. The rice was nicely cooked with slightly soft texture. The add-ons in the dumpling soup noodle were included in this set: tender sliced pork loins, pork belly with crispy skin, sweet sausage, dumplings, eggs and veggies. It also came with a side bowl of bone broth soup. Ba Mhee Pi Set (Dry Version): This was a quite exquisite dish. It had all the add-ons and thin egg noodles from Dumpling Noodle Soup but with sauce from Kha Moon Dang. The broth-less noodles were nicely al dente, and the ingredients went very well with the savory and sweet sauce. A side bowl of broth soup was included. Khao Haang (Dry Version): The beautifully fried garlic bits and soy based sauce provided lovely seasoning and flavor. In addition, toppings such as pork belly, sweet sausage, and pork loin added superb dimensions to this dish. A side bowl of broth soup was included. The prices were reasonable and the service was top notch. It was totally worthy driving from the other side of the town just to try its dishes. Highly recommended

Delicious Thai food! This restaurant doesn't look like much from the outside. It's a small little place with limited seating which has been enhanced with a covered outdoor seating area out front. There's a line of people waiting to order, showing it's popular. I ordered #1.1 (KHAO MOO DANG), figuring something with the same name as the restaurant is probably their signature dish. Food arrived in short time. After my first bite I was in awe. This was absolutely amazing in quality and taste. The pork belly (on the left side of my plate) was crispy and delicious. Everything else was equally as delicious. I didn't see Pad Thai on the menu, but I don't care. I could eat #1.1 every day for the rest of my life and be happy about it.

Driving down the east side of Portland on Hawthorne, you'll find Khao Moo Dang, a quaint Thai restaurant serving authentic street food. It's especially known for its flavorful rice and noodle dishes. Things to know: * Street parking only * The space is small, so the line can feel intimidating--but it's absolutely worth the wait * Seating is available inside or on the patio * You bus your own tables. Come. Try. Enjoy.

1.2. Khao Moo Dang Pi-Set
Steven N.

This was my 2nd time here after visiting several years ago and it didn't disappoint. I ordered the KHAO MOO DANG PI-SET and the HOUSE CURRY NOODLE. - Both had almost the same toppings - Crispy pork belly was cooked perfectly - Good portion size - Healthy amount of protein toppings and choy veggies too - The curry broth was so flavorful - The dry noodles came with a side of broth which is always welcomed with dry noodle dishes Areas for Improvement - Dumplings were the weakest part of the dish - they were flat and pretty small - I wish the egg was soft boiled instead Things to keep in mind - The sauce for the dry noodles was simple - definitely recommend adding chili oil and other condiments to add some more complexity to the flavor - Limited street parking and limited seating - I actually prefer sitting in the alley since it gives street food vibes and more ventilation, so your clothes don't stink. There are heaters out there too so it's ok even during the winter but would still recommend wearing a jacket - They can get pretty busy but wait times were very reasonable I think any of their egg noodle (dry or with broth) dishes with pork belly are the ones to get. Having tried a similar Thai ba mee noodle place in Seattle, Khao Moo Dang has much better flavor. Prices has been creeping up just like everything else. The same 2 menu items used to be $12-14 in 2020, but now they are $18-19. If the noodle dishes become $20+, I'd be pretty disappointed. I will definitely come back. Despite the price increases the food has been as good as I remember.

(Seriously, if they had one, I'd probably never leave.) We settled in with a bowl of soup, a sandwich, and the absolute kindest woman I think I've ever had prepare my food. She made the whole experience feel personal, like we were guests at her own table. Now, let's talk food! The gumbo had a rich, hearty flavor with a little kick--though, according to my Louisiana in-laws, it would technically be a stew. (But hey, delicious is delicious!) My special order pastrami sandwich was a winner--like a Reuben's cousin, but with its own personality. The shaved meat was perfectly tender, pairing beautifully with my soup. The rest of the family (a mix of kids and adults) went for a variety--salads, a shaved ham sandwich, and tater tot casserole. No complaints from anyone, which, if you've ever dined with kids, is practically a miracle. Everyone left full, happy, and with just enough leftovers for a bonus lunch the next day. Bottom line? Great food, warm atmosphere, and service that made us feel truly welcome. We'll be back!

My gf had never been though we lived near for years. We got the onion rings to start and have never had rings like this. Their dipping sauce was super tasty. They were huge and almost a meal. The crunch on the was fantastic and the onions cut as you bit into them, not one pulled out. We split the chicken and waffles. Chicken just perfect and crunchy and the crunch is seasoned as well. One of those meals you shake ur head the whole time hoping the flavors won't stop. The portion was big and glad we split it. The waffle was crunchy and big. The cup of stew was very tasty as well.

Normally, I don't mind some more breading, but I also felt it was a tad too hard and salty. The texture of the waffle was also......hmmm, not terrible, but definitely not the sort of crispiness I want. More chewy than crispiness even when I first got it. My mom had special requests as usual, and this waitress was very nice as well, but the joint was not as accommodating as some others have been. They did have egg whites, but when she asked for more vegetables, the waitresses implied that the only vegetable they could provide was zucchini, and it could not be changed because......that's what the chef decided? After she got her entree (egg whites, cheese and zucchini?), my mom complained that her scramble was tiny, but got way too much toast. Looking at her plate, I feel like she had a point this time. I don't think this place is bad, but I've had a lot of good chicken and waffles in my time, and this falls slightly short imho.
