Khao Yai: fried mushrooms, vegan
Chiemi N.

So happy to see Khao Yai open closer to home! I've been dining at Khao Yai Thai Kitchen in Progress Ridge for a couple years, whenever I happen to be in the area dog sitting. One of my favorite places to get Thai food. My sister wanted to take me out for a birthday lunch and Khao Yai is exactly a halfway meeting place. The place is beautifully decorated with a tree in the center. Comfy seating areas. Fireplace. We shared the mushroom appetizer. We both enjoyed it. She got salad rolls with shrimp. I got the Pad khee mao, medium spice. It had good flavor, but a little too spicy for me. I asked if there was a way to decrease the spiciness of my dish, sadly, you can increase but not able to tone it down. The waiter offered to remake it, but I said that it was fine. Next time I will make sure to ask for mild. I had fun taking pictures of the restaurant. The waiter asked if I would like for him to take our picture, so we did. Then later, we were asked if we would mind being video saying a greeting in Thai. We agreed. We had so much fun and enjoyed the food!

Khao Yai Thai Kitchen was SO GOOD. I ordered the chicken satay, chicken Pad Thai, and strawberry Thai tea, and genuinely everything I tasted had me saying "WOW" after the first bite. The chicken satay was tender and packed with flavor, and the Pad Thai was absolutely delicious--savory, slightly sweet, and incredibly flavorful. Every bite had so much going on that the flavors were literally exploding in my mouth. Dare I say... orgasmic? And the strawberry Thai tea?! Sweet, creamy, refreshing, and the perfect drink to go with everything. The service was also great! Everyone was so friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. The restaurant itself is BEAUTIFUL and feels very elevated and luxurious without being stuffy. I especially loved the tree inside--it gives the space this gorgeous jungle-elegant vibe that makes you feel like you're somewhere special. Between the quality of the food, the amazing flavors, friendly service, and beautiful atmosphere, this was such a great experience. It's one of those places where the food AND the ambiance deliver. Definitely coming back to try more of the menu. 10/10!

Phuket Sunset (9/5/2026)
Laura E.

Very happy to have Khao Yai within walking distance from my home. We came here ~7:30 pm yesterday 9/5/2026. Though the restaurant was busy when we arrived, we didn't wait too long for our table. After the server took our drink orders, we waited ~15 mins for her to return to take our order. Since this is a holiday weekend, I wonder if they're short staffed. I had the Phuket Sunset, which has prosecco, orange, and Thai tea. I've never had an alcoholic beverage with Thai tea and was pretty good. We shared the crab pad Thai and prik king green beans with shrimp. Both were excellent. Would absolutely return for the food (want to try their different Thai teas!) and hope the service is better on my next visit.

My family and I went in for the soft opening and we had such a great time trying out a lot of food here, we really loved all of the food we got! I really loved the pumpkin curry, papaya salad and fried sweet potatoes! I wanted to try the dessert so bad but I was pretty full so I guess I'll be saving it for next the visit

Beautiful decor and comfortable dining room. There are a few outside seats with a roll up door bringing in that outside breeze and fresh air. For the chilly days they have a nice fireplace. They just opened recently so forgiving any missteps and looking forward to giving this place another try. The food was good but knowing that they are capable of better. Love the variety of Thai iced teas and they have a nice cocktail and beer menu.

HAPPY HOUR!!!! Full meal for two, beer and appetizers for under $45. Check it out!!
Daniel S.

This is our second trip. Decided to do Happy Hour, they just kicked it off. Ate a whole meal for two people for under $45. So delicious too

Mixed veggies in garlic sauce. No broccoli. :(
Cindy A.

Based on all the positive reviews, I had high hopes for Khao Yai. I placed my order thru GrubHub and it arrived on time in a stapled secure bag. Unfortunately my order of veggies in garlic sauce had a cracked lid and all the garlic sauce had spilled into the bag. The rest of my order consisted of steamed veggies, yellow curry with veggies and 2 famous brownies. The veggies in garlic sauce was on the bottom of the bag and apparently couldn't handle the weight of the food on top of it. I was disappointed that there wasn't broccoli in any of the dishes. Other Thai restaurants always seem to include broccoli when veggies are requested. The assortment of veggies I received was awful. There were carrots, green beans and scraps of stalk. The yellow curry was ok but far from the best I've had. The 2 famous brownies were delicious! These are offered individually or in a box of 6. I recommend getting the box. You won't regret it. I also requested utensils with my order but did not receive any. I love Thai food and have about a dozen favorite Thai restaurants. Khao Yai isnt joining that list but I may try them again in the future.

Fried tofu pad see ew + crab wontons
Michaela G.

I've been patiently awaiting for this place to open and finally seen the grand opening banner. I ordered take out: fried tofu pad see ew with crab wontons. The website gave me about a 20 minute wait but it was ready in probably half the time. They have a great set up inside and I'd love to sit down next time. The food was delicious (I eat a lot of Thai) and the noodles had a genuine good flavor. I definitely judge a place by their noodles so I'm definitely going to explore the menu further. Glad to have a good place so close, I normally have to drive all the way to Beaverton. Great spot!

Mieng khom, yum soon sen, beef jerky
Angie M.

Wow! Walking in to this thai place makes me happy. I love the decorations and interior design. Love glasswalls looking outside. Service is great. The waitress and waiter are so attentive and polite. When the food come out is even better. Great portion and really authentic flavor. Not sweet like 90% of thai food out there around here. I live here the beaverton location and love their food already. Then, trying this new location, even better. More selective of delicious dishes to pick from. Would recommend this place. Definitely will go back. Everything we order are delicious.

I was told that the red curry could not be made vegan because of the paste they use. They said the yellow curry could be made vegan. So I said I would have that. I was asked if I still wanted the rice noodles. I said sure. I wasn't told there would be an upcharge for it. I did ask at the beginning if rice comes with the curry, and was told yes. But when I was interested in the rice noodles, I wasn't told there would be an extra $2. I probably would have chose rice, because the rice noodles did not pair well with the yellow curry. I was asked about the spice level, and I said I prefer it medium, towards the milder side. I should have said mild, it was too spicy for me. I took most of the curry home to give to my son, he loves spicy curry. The restaurant was clean and had nice ambiance. Though it was hard to find parking nearby. I had to drive around the block a couple times to find a spot. I believe there's a parking garage not too far, but I'm not sure if it's free. It is however very close to the max station. If I have a red curry craving again in the near future, I definitely will go elsewhere.

A Flavorful Escape in Hillsboro! If you haven't made the…read moretrip to Top Burmese Ambassador on Main Street, you are missing out on one of the most unique and soulful dining experiences in the Portland area. While the original NW 21st location is a classic, the "Ambassador" location in Hillsboro feels like a true elevation of the brand, combining incredible hospitality with a menu that is a masterclass in Burmese flavors. Here is why this spot is an absolute 5-star gem: The Tea Leaf Salad (Laphet Thoke): You cannot visit a Top Burmese location without ordering this. It is the gold standard--fermented tea leaves mixed with crunchy peanuts, toasted sesame, fried garlic, and fresh lime. It's a texture and flavor explosion that is unlike anything else in Southeast Asian cuisine. The Golden Samosas: These are a "super duper" must-order. They are flaky, perfectly spiced, and served with a house-made sauce that provides the perfect tangy kick. If you want something even more comforting, their Samosa Soup is the ultimate rainy-day cure. Standout Mains: The Coconut Noodle Soup (Khao Soi) is incredibly rich and aromatic, with just the right amount of creaminess. For a more savory, hearty option, the Beef Curry with Pan-Toasted Paratha is spectacular--the beef is fork-tender and the paratha is buttery and crisp. The Service: The "Ambassador" name is fitting because the staff truly acts as ambassadors for their culture. They are incredibly patient in explaining the menu to newcomers and make excellent recommendations based on your spice tolerance. Atmosphere: The interior is beautifully designed--vibrant, warm, and upscale without being stuffy. It feels like a "mini-vacation" right in the heart of Hillsboro. Pro Tip: This location is incredibly vegan-friendly (about 70% of the menu can be made plant-based!), so it's the perfect spot for a group with diverse dietary needs. Don't leave without trying the Burma Blue cocktail--it's as beautiful as it is delicious!

4.5 stars!! This restaurant is a gem. This was my first experience with Burmese food and I must say…read morethat they did a very good job of showing their cuisine off. We ordered the green tea leaf salad, the turmeric fries, the chicken curry with paratha, the all-star okra curry, the coconut noodle soup, and the kheema paratha. I also tried the grass jelly drink. I can't choose my top favorite among everything that we tried. The green tea salad was very unique and I would never have ordered it myself. Now, I'm a fan. The turmeric fries were so delicious too! The chicken curry with the paratha was very Desi and excellent tasting. The okra had a homemade feel to it. I would've liked a side of paratha with it, rather than rice. The kheema paratha was excellent. The coconut noodle soup was like a nice warming/satisfying coconut curry with noodles. The grass jelly was interesting and I know that most of the jelly was left in the can, so while it is nice tasting, I wouldn't recommend drinking it in a can. The Hillsboro location is a little small but this restaurant and the server helping out are both an absolute delight and I highly recommend coming here!!

Shawarma cart? Closed. Boba cart? Closed. My beloved Neshaminy-born Philly cheesesteak cart? Gone entirely. My options were the new Hawaiian and Detroit-style pizza carts, neither of which I've had any experience with at this point, the new Filipino cart that was absolutely slammed, the chicken cart that seemed abandoned by its owner, the sushi cart that seemed thematically inappropriate for the occasion, and KIN Thai Twist. The last cart has been here since the pod's inception and has tempted me on more than one occasion, but I didn't want to steer away from my beloved cheesesteak or seem ungrateful to Khantoke across the street. But I hadn't eaten here since having a dish of pad thai in its earliest days and the clock was ticking: Chicken katsu and crab rangoon it would be. That ended up being absolutely perfect for the occasion. Their katsu is delicately crisp and served with coleslaw on milk bread. Just outstanding. The crab rangoon, meanwhile, are perfect squares made by hand in the cart and wrapped around their own cheese filling. All of it just barely made it to Mexico's first (and only) goal of a 1-0 win, but it made me a KIN Thai Twist fan for the rest of my days. I want to go back and try the pork katsu and takoyaki and just enjoy it in the cozy confines of the pub. There are few certainties at this pod, but I'll take this katsu sandwich and a saison when I can get it.

Kin's offers a katsu sando on their menu, which was superb and went perfectly with my hoppy beer…read more The food pod has a beer tap establishment on the premises that is about a month old - very roomy and with air conditioning for those hot Hillsboro days.

I went to Vivi's for the first time about 10 years ago and haven't stopped thinking about it since…read more Unfortunately, it's pretty far and out of the way from where I live, but every time I pass through the area and am hungry for Vietnamese food, I'm hungry for Vivi's. Over the years, I've brought friends and family here, talking it up enough that they're willing to make the journey with me. I always recommend the tofu vermicelli bowl. The fact that my tofu-skeptical father sang its praises after I made him try it is a testament to its flavor. I still think of it as the gold standard of tofu. I was recently in the area for the first time in 5 or 6 years and decided to go back to Vivi's with my mom. It was the first thing that popped into both of our minds-a real jinks moment. I was nervous that it wouldn't live up to our memory. Vivi's had moved around the corner from their old location-a cute, cozy little cafe-but their new restaurant is more spacious, hopefully to accommodate the flocks of diners that their food merits. I got the tofu vermicelli, which was exactly as I remembered, equally flavorful and generous in portion size for $15. My mom got the papaya salad for $5.50. I previously thought I didn't like papaya-I was mistaken. It was a unique and refreshing dish that I would 100% go back for. Vivi's food tastes fresh and nourishing and at the same time satisfying and rich. We were short on time and were prepared to have to take it to go, but our food was out in 10 minutes. I don't usually write reviews, but after so many great experiences over the years it felt long overdue. A small business that has maintained their quality at reasonable prices over the years deserves to be recognized with a recommendation. Give Vivi's a try!

We are regulars here. We've been devouring their pho and other dishes for probably 10 years…read more I do think that over the years the recipe has changed and doesn't hit the spot the same.
