Amazing customer service + amazing food! I've been missing Los Angeles Thai food and this reminded me of home and surpassed my expectations. read more

Real Thai food, the yellow curry tasted so good, not so creamy just right amount of coconut milk, still curry tasty, with lots of chicken. Food portion is big. Good price consider it is located in downtown. Worth the price. read more

We ordered delivery for our first experience from Thai Chili Jam. We ordered the lemon grass chicken, chicken pad Thai, pot stickers and Kao Pad Pu (Crab Fried Rice). The food arrived well packaged and labeled. The lemongrass chicken was good but not as tender as hoped - this could be due to the delivery time and prepping before eating. Otherwise, the taste/flavor was good. The chicken pad Thai was great! Chicken was tender and well flavored. The noodles were equally as good! The Kao Pad Pu (Crab Fried Rice) was amazing and I will order it every time we get food here. Lots of veggies, crab and well seasoned. The pot stickers were good and the sauce that came with it was very flavorful. Overall, great food and we'll be back. read more

Had some Pad Kee Mao here a few nights back and it was enough to give me a second meal the next day! The spice was nice and the flavor was on point. Not the first time I've been here as my partner has been working near by for 19 years and it's far from the last. read more

Stopped by about a half hour before closing to order some takeout. While waiting the staff offered us ice water which was - in my opinion - above and beyond the service I expected as someone who was getting takeout. Ordered the basil fried rice and the pad thai, as when trying a new restaurant I stick to the basics and if they execute that well I'll get more adventurous on a second time visiting. I will definitely be visiting again. The pad thai was very good. Al dente noodles. Good balance of ingredients. Great price for what we got. Basil fried rice was very flavorful. Lots of veggies. I'm glad that my wife and I split two dishes even though one would have been large enough to split between us because both were so tasty! read more

I have walked by Thai Chili Jam many times. The outside of the building is nondescript. But don't let that deter you from trying the delicious food served here. I have ordered delivery several times and always found the food to be fresh and full of flavor. My favorite items to order are the yellow curry and the Thai basil fried rice. Although every dish I've tried has been tasty and good enough to reorder. I like that they advertise that they are vegetarian friendly. They use no MSG and all dishes are free of Trans fat. Good things to know. Someday I will venture inside the restaurant to dine. Whether you dine in or order food to go, you'll enjoy your meal. read more

can't believe i've waited so long to rate this delicious Thai restaurant! I eat here as often as I can & it's always top notch. My favorite is #11, khao soi -- and mango sticky rice but really everything is great. And the service is the best ! If you're looking for good food, you won't regret coming here!!! I don't have any photos because we are always do excited when the plates start arriving, we always forget to get our phones out until we've made a delightful mess. read more

Their food is great and reasonably priced but I specifically want to shout out their wonton soup. Yes, I know, it's a Chinese item at a Thai restaurant but I was sick and needed soup and they were the closest restaurant I could hit up for take out. Their broth is wonderful and simple, just what the doctor ordered, but more specifically they have a correct number of wontons!! Other places skimp on the wontons and the ratio is so off but they deliver on the wontons 10/10 read more

This place was much better than expected. I have driven by it hundreds of times while getting on the freeway and never thought of stopping by. Our intention was to go to The Loving Hut next door but they were closed, so ended up here by default. The decor is simple, but the food was surprisingly good. We had Pad Thai, and The Seafood Delight, which was a little on the spicy side, but it wouldn't be Thai food if it wasn't spicy. It appeared there was one woman working the entire restaurant. Given how busy she was she was on top of things. Service was a little slow, but the restaurant was packed, so I give her kudos for getting everyone's order out in a timely manner. I overheard the table next to us comment that they wanted to help her out, as they also felt bad for her. If I knew anything about the restaurant industry aside from how to eat in them, I would have lent a helping hand too. Management please give the server that was working Sunday afternoon a raise, and get her some help. read more

Great food, amazing service! Visiting from LA so I'm a stickler on Asian food and this place did not disappoint

We decided to come to this place spontaneously but were so pleasantly impressed. First and foremost, the restaurant owner is a queen. She was able to divide our group's checks perfectly and even consider the nuances of our appetizer splits. Plus, she's sweet and hilarious. We ordered 2-3s for the spice level but realize we totally should have heeded the restaurant owner's warning. The spicy levels here do not mess around! The house seafood was really delicious and my friend's jungle noodles, crab fried rice, panang curry, and beef salad were great too. The appetizer combo plate was altight. Highly recommend the chicken satay though! We're not Portland locals but would 100% recommend to anyone nearby. read more

Came upon this Thai place by chance. When we took a look inside it was quaint, clean, and welcoming so we decided to eat in. We ordered the appetizer sampler plate with fresh and fried foods, and the pad kee mao with chicken 4* spicy. The food was fresh, it came out fast and it was super flavorful. It wasn't actually all that spicy so we asked for hot sauce and their chili trio was some of the best I have tasted in Thai restaurants. The experience was quick, staff super friendly and prices were relatively cheap. Would definitely come back and recommend to others. We ate all the food before thinking to take pictures because it was that good! read more

My husband and I stopped in for an early lunch and were starved on a Saturday morning. We started off with the Thai Salad rolls as an appetizer. The waitress was extremely nice to us after I shared my love for Thailand and spice. She had suggested to take some of the chili sauce and add it into the peanut dipping sauce. This was the best recommendations! For my main course, I had the green curry with a combination of seafood. The portion was just the right size for lunch. It was tasty and I had added even more spice to get it to my liking. My husband ordered the Thai Chili jam Specialty Curry with chicken. I thought it was way too creamy but he enjoyed it. Overall, a decent Thai place within the Portland area. read more

Thai Chili Jam Restaurant and Full Bar - Shrimp Satay (2 Pieces) - Thai Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Thai Chili Jam is so my jam. I know what a lame pun but it is so true. I just can't stay away. I swear I order about once a week on Grubhub. The reason I choose this Thai restaurant over all others is pad Thai with scallops. I just can't find scallops on the menu at any other Thai place. What's more, they are generous with the precious and delicious scallops and the dish is very reasonably priced. It's comparable to a prawn pad Thai elsewhere. Delivery is rapid fire too. Even after all this pandemic nonsense is over I'll still be a regular. 2020 - Review # 14 read more

Nothing out of the ordinary, as long as you're not looking for highly authentic Thai food, this place won't disappoint. The food here is what you'd expect from a standard American Thai place. Everything is a bit sweeter and heavier than how it should be but still offers that familiar sense of comfort. The dishes came with jasmine rice which was nice. Ordering online and picking up was super fast and easy. Staff was nice and friendly. A good takeout spot with decent food and portion. read more

Found the place on a whim walking around. Tried their curry special and panang salmon- both very good Also added the pad eggplant and was pleasantly surprised by the good flavors. Service was excellent and overall a very good experience. read more

I dunno... I have had delivery from Thai Chili Jam restaurant before and during COVID. I do have to say that during the lockdown they get that food out quick! It arrived wayyyyyy ahead of schedule so that was nice. I really should have written a review the first time. Then I wouldn't have ordered from here again. I hate to be so harsh, but there it is. It's like making a pretty big mistake and and not fully acknowledging it. It's then so much easier to make the same mistake again. I do these things to myself. Just like I order huge feasts for myself! So when the food arrived ... and I opened it. I realized my error. The egg rolls were just the worst. There is no crisp. It's a thin egg roll yet thick doughy ordeal. If you decide to order go ahead and try them. Send me a note either way because I cannot imagine a world where people line it. Change my mind. The Tom Yum soup was very generous in size. I'd say it's quite the deal. Little overly dressed in fish sauce for me. But they brought the expected amount of heat. The eggplant dish had only four scant pieces of eggplant. The rest were veggies. Soooooooooo disappointing. Just.... honestly didn't order a veggie sauté ... I wanted that eggplant. I guess reading other reviews it's hit or miss, it missed me twice. Maybe you will get a better experience from your order. But, I will be trying other places for now. read more

TL;DR: Quick service, par-for-the-course pricing, mushy wide rice noodles Ordered takeout from this restaurant earlier this week. Thai food is our go-to for easy nights in. We both ordered Pad See Ew (rare for us to order two of the same thing), but one mild and one spicy. Both orders came quick and hot, but the noodles seemed over cooked and when we tried lifting it up with chopsticks, it just tore through them and eventually with mixing it all around, it turned the food into mush. It was tasty, but made it hard to eat, the more I ate. I would try this place again, but I'm gonna try somewhere else for a little. read more

Love this place. I just moved to this area and needed to find a good Thai place because I missed the great Thai place by my house. I love this place so much I will come more often and for sure become a regular. We got the duck plate, Panang curry, pad Thai, egg rolls. Everything was delicious. The lady working there was super kind to. I appreciated her recommendations were awesome and she was helpful. read more

Absolutely delicious! So fresh. Cute little place downtown. Quick service! Definitely recommend.

I like the food here. It's a very cozy little spot for a good meal. I love the yellow curry and of course, the pad Thai is delicious.

This place was convenient when we went to the Mexican consulate. It's just in front and we had to wait more than an hour to get in. They sat us down quickly and took our order. My husband got a chicken pad Thai. It looked good, nice portion. When I tried it it was more on the sweeter side. I got the drunken noodles, medium heat. It was just perfect for me. I really liked my food, but when I look at my husbands plate, he is putting all the chicken to the side. He said it was very dry, like it was old. He said, maybe I'm just used to the flavor of that other Thai place. So I don't think we'll be back here, it's not bad but not the best. When you order Thai iced tea, they give you a plastic straw with the wrapper made into a rose, really cute. read more

Yes. Dear dog. Yes. This place knows what heat is. I met my match FINALLY. If you're the type who kinda rolls their eyes when a place mentions something is spicy, and it's really more comforting than anything, go here! I had a medium spiced chicken tom yum noodle soup and my nose began to run (that's when you KNOW it's good!). If I had gone a step higher, I probably would have regret it. I bow down to this place. read more

When I 1st walked up to the restaurant I was a bit apprehensive. The outside of the windows were very dirty with splatters all over and somebody must have just recently broken in the front door because it was still covered in wood. But i trusted the reviews and decided to give it a try anyways. When I got inside I could tell that some of the tables had not been properly wiped down as I could still see plate rings and glass rings on the tables. But over the floors were clean, the plants were well-cared-for, and the bathrooms were in good shape. Overall I'm generally really glad that I gave this place to try. We had 4 different dishes and 3 out of the 4 were fantastic. The basil rice, pad Thai, and the other noodle dish, recommened by the server, that I cannot remember what it was called were all fantastic. We did order what we thought was CRISPY chicken from the description but it turned out not to be. It was actually one of my least favorite dishes and I was very disappointed with it. H3. When I saw it described as crispy chicken I expected something to on it to be crispy, Like the chicken, As described. But it wasn't and that deeply disappointed me. This item was actually nothing like described. The cucumbers did nothing to add to the flavor of the dish and were nothing more than a garnish, the same with the 1 soggy piece of lettuce on the bottom of the place used to keep the sauce on the The suggy steamed chicken, I guess it was supposed to be sauteed, actually had very little flavor and was one of the worst dishes we tried. When I asked the waitress why it was called crispy chicken I couldn't get an answer that made sense. Something about it was cooked in crispy noodles. But I did not see any crispy noodles on the plate either. So sad. The service was very good and the staff was very friendly And the food overall was surprisingly good. I probably would have given this restaurant 4 stars if it hadn't been for the filthy windows, sticky tables, poorly described menu items and the fact That none of the food prices were listed, so the price of our meal was left as the final surprise. It wasn't the worst Thai restaurant I've ever eaten but it is definitely far from the best. read more

Such a delicious and relaxing environment. I loved everything about the food here. It was my first Thai restaurant with a very large group of people. Sometimes, staff may seem flustered or the food doesn't seem as great with larger groups. I am proud to announce that this is NOT the case here. The curry here was exquisite, pad Thai noodles, and eggplant were spectacular. I loved that they provided a lot of potatoes in the shrimp curry. Shrimp was fresh. The waitress was very friendly and I have to admit, very fashionable. I wish I lived closer to this restaurant! read more

I have been raving about Thai chili Jam for seven years. They make a hot and sour noodle soup that no other Thai restaurant can even come close to; the flavors are perfection, normally. I don't know what's changed but the proof is right here in these pictures. I've noticed the flavor has been declining over the last three years, my dishes have been really inconsistent. My family has all but given up on them. I however am a diehard, that one good one might just carry through then next 3 meh. You guys need to get it together. I don't know how much more I can take tonight's take out was a mean joke. read more

This was the most delicious and flavorful Thai food I have had EVER. I have traveled all around, and this particular restaurant stands out to me with its use of fresh vegetables, many flavors, and excellent service from the sweetest staff. I ordered the Red Curry, and it was SO flavorful, the right amount of spice (I requested mild,) plenty of vegetables and protein. Rice was cooked perfectly. Highly recommend any of the curries!!!! Ambience is cozy and simple, really homey feel to it. Quiet and safe feeling. The outside may seem a little off putting, but it's anything but on the inside! I came in at 3pm on a Sunday when it was not busy at all, and I was greeted so warmly and was waited in immediately. Whenever my family or friends come to visit me, this is where I'll take them. Thank you! read more

I'm not sure why this place has good reviews. The food is below average and the service is horrible. We received a bill for our meal before it was served. In addition another server wanted to know if we wanted dessert before we received our dinner. The table and floors were dirty, I would be afraid to see the kitchen. It is very basic decor and looks as if it has been there since the 50s which could explain why it all looked dirty. I would avoid this restaurant, there are many other choices. read more

It's a pretty decent Thai restaurant. Wish they used more sweet Thai basil and those sweet and spicy Thai green chillies in the food. Would make the food taste so much better! Instead, they use red chili flakes to spice up the food which is a bummer. read more
