Khao Soi with Tofu! AMAZING!
Roo F.

Probably should try more things here but I am stuck on their Khao Soi- I have had it like 4 times and every time it is so deeply comforting and delicious. Pickled mustard greens, fresh yummy veggies, crunchy noodles and unreal broth! When the craving comes I cannot resist. I have had the salad rolls they are good too, served with warm peanut plum sauce. The owner is wonderful, warm and kind and the restaurant itself is spacious with thoughtful decor, there is also plenty of outdoor seating and parking. They are happy to do any modifications on dishes for any preferences or sensitivities too. Can't wait to try more items and so happy to have such a sweet neighborhood spot! Thank you!

Stir fry vegetables with shrimp - delicious.

Food is good. Charged $3 for shrimp which is fine but no notice until bill received. Staff helpful. Ambiance AWFUL. Spotlights glaring. In scary part of town after dark. Do not expect to return. They do a great take out business apparently.

Khao Pad
Christopher P.

We've lived a few blocks from this place for a while and have seen it gone thru many incarnations so we were skeptical when it became a Thai place but I'm so glad we finally got over our skepticism and gave it a shot! The environment inside is cozy yet open with plenty of seating. They have a bar inside which is just delightful. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The food came quick enough and was paced well with the drinks and appetizers. We had the egg rolls, the Khao Pad, and the Yellow Curry and were very happy with all of our dishes. It's a pretty standard Thai menu but the Khao Pad was a unique dish to me and I thoroughly loved it! It's a beautiful take on fried rice with big bits of freshly cooked veg. My partner really liked his Yellow Curry. The warm dish and the spice were perfect on a cold evening. Give this place a shot. The outside may not look like much, especially if you've seen it as the former businesses there but it's definitely our choice for Thai from now on!

Tom Kha and Pad Ka Prow

The restaurant was able to modify the menu to suit my palate because I'm vegan. We had great customer service and the staff were really friendly.

Excellent Pad Thai
Bill S.

Stopped here today for the first time. The food here is amazing and there is lots of it. I'm not a knowledgeable connoisseur of Thai foods, but I've had a lot of different Pad Thai dishes over the years. I have to say that this was one of the best I've ever had. Lyn had a plate of Pad Cashew Nut which she loved. We also had some appetizers: Pot stickers, coconut prawns, and cream cheese wontons which were all terrific. The food is first class, as is the presentation and the very friendly service. Prices are very reasonable. We will definitely be coming back here. Right now I cannot think of another Thai restaurant in the Portland area as good as this one.

Yaya S.

first review! i will try to be as thorough as possible. this is a brand new thai restaurant located on powell, previous owner of khao soy thai in the pearl! the authentic flavors certainly transferred over to this location (as well as their signature khao soy dish) we ordered a feast for 5ish people, but i didnt quite get to snap a photo of it all.. please keep in mind that some of these dishes (like the skewers) were somewhat of a bulk order, so it doesn't accurately depict the amount you would get with just a single order. the place used to be a sports bar with pool tables, and they have done a lovely job with revamping the space! much of the decor as well as the wooden tables were made by the owners themselves. love the creativity, especially with their accent wall that features traditional thai plates which are very hard to find! while there are many thai restaurants in this area, i would highly recommend giving this place a try! some of the top highlights for our group were the pork skewers/moo ping (best eaten with sticky rice), pad grapao, and all of the noodle dishes! if you're someone who likes herbs and spice, the nam tok moo is a really great option as well (also goes good with sticky rice lol) price wise, very reasonable considering the generous portions. service, also delightful - no complaints.

Chicken pad see ew. Ended up just eating the broccoli.
Jen A.

Ordered Chicken pad see ew for lunch. No napkin or utensils. Did not taste like chicken pad see ew at all. No sweet/savory soy sauce taste like I expected. One of the worst Thai food I've ever had.

Chicken Satay

it may be my fault for ordering later in the evening, but i wanted something better than fast food, so i opted to get food here. the chicken was so rubbery/ grisly. i've never seen chicken satay kabob style, but it could have been the butt end of their chicken stash i suppose. i spend $10.50 and an extra $5 for a large side of peanut sauce that tasted like soy sauce mixed with peanut butter. won't be coming here again.

Cashew chicken !

Great chicken and rice. Not sure how they do it, but the chicken is soft, tender, moist and very…read moreflavorful and the rice is very aromatic and delicious. 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.

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.
