    Fresh spring bites

    Third visit within 2 weeks, figured review was past due. Had dinner one evening and came back for lunch the very next day. Haven't had a bad dish yet. I love Thai food but have a stomach that is sensitive to spice. Most Thai restaurants lose flavor when you request mild but not Khao San. Mussamun short ribs to die for Roti fresh made light and crisp Spring bites refreshing, flavorful and perfect size Yellow curry rich thick savory and flavor packed, made with purple sweet potatoes usually served with rice but I subbed roti because of how great it was at last visit.

    Great place to visit in the town of Bethany. Loved this place. Very authentic and reminded of some small places that you find in Thailand. Service was friendly and attentive. Food was spot on and tasted great. Menu showed pad see ew with chicken but they accommodated my request for shrimp. Large prawns were served with my noodle dish. Thai music plays in the background but not overly loud and offers the perfect ambiance. Place was clean. I would highly recommend and come back for more. Menu had plenty of options to offer a wide variety of choices for anyone.

    Nice little spot in Bethany. Khao San has a variety of options, most of which you can make vegan and vegetarian even though the titles seem otherwise. The Pad Thai with Tofu was solid, authentic with a ton of flavor. The Yellow Curry was also good, with the medium spice carrying the right amount of heat. It also came chock-full of tofu and other toppings, which made it very filling. Both dishes were made Vegan with Tofu and Medium Spice - though the Pad Thai was milder than the curry. I hope they do come around and keep the name of each dish without including the default protein as it made it confusing to order but other than than that it's worth checking out!

    Finally decided to try this Bethany Village restaurant since they have outdoor seating, and it was nice outside.. Strangely, a few of the Lunch menu items are more expensive than dinner pricing, so check on that before you order. Pad Thai with shrimp: 3/5 This was seasoned too sweetly for me, and mostly consisted of slightly gummy rice noodles. More bean sprouts and other toppings would have been nice. You do get 4 nice-sized shrimp, which were cooked properly. Thai iced tea (free with Yelp check-in!): Unfortunately, also too sweet, but still tasty. They have 5 picnic tables with umbrellas for outdoor seating as well and indoor dining.

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.

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.

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.

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.
