Love their food! Pineapple fried rice, pad see ewe, pad kee mao, jungle noodles, all the curries, they're all bomb. The patio is fun, especially during the warmer months, and is lowkey empty on Sundays for lunch. Perfect for after church. The food comes out quickly, even when they're busy. Can't recommend enough! read more

This Pad Thai was different because this one was a bit more plain compared to the others - I had to add the peanut sauce to give more flavor. It's a bit different from what I am used to, but it was still good. I might have to try out some other dishes. But what really intrigued me was the crafts. I haven't seen a lot of Thai restaurants where they are selling food and crafts, and for every $15 that you spend, you get a craft buck to redeem for crafts purchases. In short, this restaurant is intriguing to me, and I will have to come back to try out other dishes. Good service, nice ambiance from the craft-filled decor. read more

I was just looking at my Yelp reviews. I can't believe I haven't reviewed Ubon Thai Kitchen yet. Their Pad Thai is my favorite dish in any restaurant ever. I do heat level 6. And when I'm done... and I have tears running down my face... then I know it was good! Love their peanut sauce. I like adding the large and spicy peanut sauce... only an extra $0.50. Eating this dish is an "experience". At heat level 6... it stays with you for a while. Absolutely fabulous! read more

Short: The Massaman Curry is where it's at, Ubon Thai! Plus the spiciness! So yummy! A long overdue review for the number of recommendations I got for this thai spot! [Establishment & Service] the location of Ubon Thai which I've heard used to be a food truck, is really great because it is located in the center of Eugene and it's relatively easy to get to. They also sell art from Southeast Asia, most of which are from Bali, Indonesia, from what I saw. Service is practically just you walk in , menu is by the door, a cashier straight ahead of you and place your order. There is a seasonal and drink menu posted on the wall near the register. The area of the restaurant itself is pretty large it's pretty but to note it is self-bus service. [Food] I got the Pad Thai with spice level 4 with spicy pad thai sauce. I thought this was a really interesting Pad Thai. Because to me it didn't look like the noodles had any peanut sauce, since they separated the peanut sauce to put on yourself for you own liking. I thought this was really peculiar. However I truly did find a super flavorful despite this and the spicy level is definitely a Thai 4 (so pretttyy hot). I extremely enjoyed the spicy pad thai sauce. It was really amazing and spicy! Since it was in a separate cup, I had to put it on myself which was fine just it's not a pad thai format that I'm used to, but I definitely want to go back to eat this again! Someone in my party got the Massaman Curry, a mildly spicy Thai curry, which I ate some of. I don't think a lot of people know this about the Massaman Curry, it is actually a Thai "fusion" since it brings 3 ingredigents from the areas of Persia, India, Malaysia, and Indonesia. It was so flavorful and delicious. Presentation was also nice, Just so well made and flavorfully authentic. Since Massaman Curry, sometimes isn't as popular as the other Thai curries, like Green or Red, it can be hard to find the one that hits all the flavor notes. But at Ubon Thai, it is balanced with the spices, especially with the coconut milk, and not overally overwhelming with heat. Overall, if you're wanting a different kind of Curry from the other Thai curry is like red or green, definitely try out Massaman Curry here, so flavorful! [Overall] I definitely see why a lot of people love Ubon Thai, it was recommended to me a lot!! I'm really glad that I visited and ate. I definitely would want to try the Massaman Curry again & Pad Thai. At the Ubon Thai, just was such a tasty visit and so spicy so if you're a lover of spice you got to go here! Can't wait for my next visit! read more

I met some friends at Ubon who'd been wanting to try it out. You order your food and drinks at the front counter, seat yourself at one of their unique tables, and a kind employee brings you your food. The whole place is covered with beautiful wooden and glass wall hangings (many are for sale!) and there's a little section at the front with smaller items for sale. Overall, you feel like you're in your cool boho aunt's house visiting for dinner. Maybe I'm basic, but I always have to try the pad thai at every thai restaurant I eat at. Ubon was no exception to this. Pad thai is really easy to mess up; it can be too spicy, it can be too dry, it can be too oily... you get the idea. Ubon's pad thai was one of the better I've tried. It was moist, flavorful, and, since they allow you to choose your spice level, not spicy at all. The portion was perfect for one person and I ended up full with no leftovers. Overall, I had a lovely night catching up with friends and I look forward to coming back and trying Ubon's various curries and noodle dishes. read more

Ubon Thai Kitchen - Eugene Pad Thai (no spice) - Thai Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

This is a long overdue review for visits that happened a couple months ago. I've been wanting to try this place for a long time, but I somehow always wind up at the Fisherman's Market across the street. This visit the Thai food craving was strong. This is a fast, casual dining establishment--no table service, other than your food getting served to you. Order and pay at the counter and your food is delivered to your table. The food service was quick Our first visit, we order the mango curry and was really blown away--the flavor, the portion and overall presentation was amazing--my partner could not get enough of the sauce, he enjoyed it thoroughly. My go-to meal whenever I visit new Thai restaurants is always the pumpkin curry, I was not disappointed. The taste was amazing, although I think the pumpkin could have been simmered a little longer; not ever piece was tender. We also ordered the batter fried scallops appetizer. The scallops were medium sized, and appeared to be fried in a panko crumb batter versus a wet batter. The overall result was crispy and not greasy. The plum sauce served with the scallops reminded me more of the May Ploy brand chili sauce. Our overall experience was very good and we were satisfied with our meals. Subsequent visits yielded different results--the mango curry was not a good as our previous experience and it seemed to be flavorless and bland. Both the green curry and chicken teriyaki was unmemorable. This was a completely different experience from our first visit. However, do not let my review prevent you from visiting/supporting this establishment. read more

I am from the north east Philadelphia area. I grew up eating all different foods from Philly and NYC. since moving to Oregon I have struggled to find the quality of food that I grew up eating. I have finally found the most amazing authentic food I've had in Eugene. not only was the food flavorful and textured, but it didnt skimp on the spice. I wanted medium heat and it was perfection! I am so impressed by the taste of this food! I will be a regular customer for now on! Thank you to all the staff of Ubon Thai Kitchen! What a gem of a restaurant to have in Eugene! read more

We love the vibe here!! Food was super good and spicy. People working were also super friendly. We loved sitting outside and can't wait to come back! read more

You're in for some great food! We had a group of six that included curries, soups, and noodle dishes. All were superior. We went with a little spice and found it was more than enough, you might want to opt for no spice. Service was punctual and pleasant. Ambiance is a little funky yet tasteful with select art displayed. read more

I order delivery from here regularly and we stop by for dinner sometimes too! I love the yellow curry, it's not like any other yellow curries I've had but I like the broth a lot, it's a little lighter but still flavorful. As a vegan I have only tried a handful of items but I always go back to the yellow curry with tofu and my bf gets the pineapple fried rice with tofu. I love that their menu is clearly marked with what can be veganized and that when ordering they have a check box to "make it vegan." I definitely feel comfortable ordering from here and recommend the food! read more

Aah.. Ubon Thai! This is some of the best Thai food I have ever had, and yea, I've had Thai in Bangkok, this stuff is good! I opted for the Pad Thai with shrimp and the spice level at 1.5. I mixed in the nuts and bean sprouts and poured the sauce over it all. The noodles were timed perfectly, the bean sprouts were extremely fresh and crispy. The shrimp tails were easy to remove and the peanut sauce had a perfect amount of heat for me with the flavor combination being spot on! We also had a calamari appetizer along with some potstickers. The calamari was breaded and cooked very well, it wasn't rubbery or chewy. The potstickers were crispy, hot and packed full of veggies. read more

Ordered takeout for an order to bring back to our hotel and they neither put silverware in the bag or asked if I wanted silverware. Not a great experience to get back (starving) and have nothing with which to eat food read more

Just had their Crispy Chicken Salad. It was a special item. It was fantastic. Very lightly fried and tossed with thinly sliced red onion, basil, lime juice and some other yummy ingredients. I wouldn't order it to go. The stream would ruin the fried chicken. Sorry I didn't think about the picture until it was too late.. read more

Super watery food. Thrown together. Definitely some of the worst Thai food I have ever eaten.

This is not Tom Kha. Bell peppers have no place in Tom Kha. This needs to be renamed. Fried tofu was mushy inside... read more

Was so looking forward to trying this restaurant, I pass it daily. So I asked my partner to take me there last week. NOTE: The food was h Horrible, absolutely flavorless, I told him that I wanted to have mild spice and he told me that there's starts at 1/12 so I could be guarantee that their sauces are very very hot. So 11/2 is what I got. It was completely flavorless! My partner's food was equally disturbing and the spring rolls lend itself to loads of discussion themselves never- ever have I seen spring rolls with chicken in them. They should be full of vegetables or tofu. The rice wrap paper was very dry as though it had been made days before. They had a great patio but it was really gross. Still hosting the remains of the Mexican restaurant that stood there before them. The plants over hung everywhere... the bugs alone are pretty disgusting... read more

My first encounter with Ubon Thai was when they were a food truck and I was so happy when they opened a brick and mortar. This is an especially nice spot on nice days where you can sit in their garden. It could be kept up a little more, but who doesn't love eating outside? The menu is rather large but organized well so it doesn't get overwhelming. Their spice levels run hot- I usually do a 1.5 and call it good. Their flavors are on point, and the veggies are fresh and cooked well. They have service at the counter with some cocktail options, once you order up front they bring it to your table. read more

We were greeted by a very friendly young lady. She helped us in selecting from the menu and was very courteous as well. The young lady asked us how to select the heat/ spicy rating of 1-5. We received our mango curry pork and crispy chicken salad that was med-large in portion and very tasty. We liked our corner seating and was able to have a conversation with each other (we are seniors). Overall, we really liked the courteous service (not overbearing) and the meal was excellent in taste and portions! We will come here again! read more

The menu is quite large which is nice. However, the pad see-ew lacked flavor and vegetables. There were only 3 broccoli florets in the whole dish. For $8, I was also disappointed by the salad rolls which were the incredibly small and also lacked vegetables. read more

I've never had a big issue here, but the past few visits have been less great than usual. I miss when they were on hwy99, something has definitely changed in quality and portion size since they moved. Ordered from Grubhub tonight, and not only was the portion less than half of what it typically is, it just tasted subpar. Maybe just a bad night, but updating review because things have started going downhill sadly. Second update.. because of an issue I discovered that is not ok. I asked for extra broccoli, and expected an extra charge for it (I always ask for and pay for extra broccoli). The entire small pond had maybe 3 little broccoli florets in it. They adjusted my Grubhub order supposedly by $1.50 for the extra broccoli. I'm glad that the maybe single extra floret I got was worth that much for them. They then added some other charges that added an additional $10 charge to my order. I'm glad I saw this- because that is absolutely ridiculous. I used to love this place, but that is crazy dishonest and not ok at all. Adjust for an add on request, but then actually add it to the food. And don't overinflated things to try to screw people. I get times are hard, but I've tried to support them through the pandemic. They have been on my go-to takeout list and I've said nothing but good things about them to anyone who asks for years, because they absolutely deserved it. These downhill changes have made me rethink that some, but I was still happy to support a local place. But this crosses the line, and they've now completely lost my business. I won't be back. read more

After driving past another Thai place, we ended up at Ubon. From the friendly, home-feeling the second you walk in the door, to the absolutely fabulous food, the next time we're in Oregon, we will definitely be stoping here! The husband and wife duo are incredible! The food was fresh, flavorful, and quick! Thank you for the friendly service and fabulous food! read more

This time we came in to take our order to go. The parking lot is a little tight, I would recommend exiting through the alley vs. going back out to 7th street, as that's sort of against traffic. Anyway, I liked that they had the menu up on a wall for easy reading, before you go up and order. Looked like they had a lot of seating, even though we didn't go exploring the rest of the restaurant while we waited for our food. They were busy, but I think more with to go and food delivery service orders than anything. I tried the Kemao again, my husband got the se ew with beef, we shared the pot stickers and I also tried the Thai iced tea. The kemao wasn't quite as hot as last time but now that I saw their spice level menu in person, I'm guessing I actually ordered a less extreme level this time. The pot stickers were good but not great. The husband's opinion of the se ew was that it was fine. We have the same feeling about the size of the portions in comparison to cost as we did the first time. But again the veggies were fresh and the protein was plentiful. Loved the Thai iced tea, it is quite yummy! read more

A really lovely spot. Their outdoor seating is really. beautiful garden with a little waterfall and all kinds of interestinf things to look at. They have a very extensive menu. I had the massaman -- the king of curries in my view. It was excellent, though the chicken was just a little overdone. Better than underdone I suppose. Super friendly and helpful staff. Don't miss this place if you're in town for a Ducks game or a pot festival. Especially a pot festival read more

Great menu. If only the food lived up to the expectation. Ordered $185 worth of food for 4 people expecting to have leftovers but had almost none. Small portions. The corn fritters were extremely dense and chewy. Ugh. Ordered Tom kha soup because so many raved about it and they sent me Tom yum. Yuck. The curry servings were small in size but big in price. The pad thai was alright but have had much better. Overall...forgettable food at a memorable (in a bad way) price. read more

They never miss. I recommend the Eugene Pad Thai or the pumpkin pad thai, but their summer rolls are also delicious! Their service is pretty good too, and the servers tend to be more straight forward but nice as opposed to over the top nice like a lot of other places. It makes the ordering and eating experience feel much calmer. I love to sit outside here during the summer! Their outdoor seating area is so beautiful. read more

The lady at the counter was rude when I asked for a level 5 spice and basically told me that was too spicy for my first time. I eat ghost peppers, and make salsa with the carolina reaper so I think I know my tolerance, but I appeased her and dropped it to a level 4. She finally put the order in but told me if it was too hot there was nothing they would do. Fine. I paid $1.00 extra for brown rice which came with a long black curly hair in it. Same lady checked with other parties on how their food was, but not ours so we ate our entire meal and didn't get to have the rice with it. When we were leaving she sarcastically asked me if it was hot enough and I said that it was not. Her response, "now you have a base." Wow. The reason I give it 2 stars instead of 1 is because the flavors are there and it seems like the heat would be too for those of us who like spicy food and are underwhelmed by all of the places claiming to have spicy sauce, but do not. Food without the hair would have been about 4 starts, but the rude lady and the hair really turned me off from this place read more

Ubon Thai Kitchen - Long black hair entwined in the brown rice I paid extra for - Thai Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

The food is very tasty. The spiciness grades are wonderful to chose from. They come in sauces and are excellent! Their use of the phrase "protein choice "is a different slant on whether one chooses beef, chicken, pork, or tofu. But its an easy one to get accustomed to as one reads down the menu. The only thing that could make this meal more enjoyable is if it was served with a glass of wine, or beer. Unfortunately they do not have a liquor license, but they may in the future. read more

Love Uban Thai kitchen vegetables we're still crunchy my wife's curry was amazing. I highly recommend it.

Had take out Thai with tofu. Food was flavorless, vegetables were old, no sauce on pad thai.

Really good food and vegan/gluten free accommodations if you ask. We normally take out but ate in today on their patio next to the fountain. Service was fast and friendly, food was yummy. We love the Siam rice and pad Thai. Fresh salad rolls are tasty too! read more

I used to love this place, but had a bad experience recently. The six levels of "spiciness" are bogus, as if you can really dial in a level 5 instead of a level 6. Really, you can choose between a little spicy and inedibly spicy. And last night, when I paid for my $39 to go order with a $100, I asked for $55 back, and and was given $50, when I paused, looking in confusion at my change with a line of impatient people behind me, the cashier said, "Oh, did you want another $5?" kind of sarcastically. And so I felt strong-armed into giving an $11 tip for inedible food. I won't be going back. read more

Great location and cool patio, but this place has a ways to go. It's still pretty much just a food cart service wise and quality wise, no table service, but with restaurant prices of course (I'm sure the rent on that building isn't cheap.) If you come expecting a nice sit down thai experience you might be disappointed. The menu looks great with some unique sounding dishes, unfortunately the food is so-so, slightly better than I could make at home but pretty mediocre, even for a food cart. Lunch sized portions. Also it doesn't seem too authentic, it is owned and staffed by white guys. There's a bunch of clearly marked vegan options (but egg-zamine closely, they don't always come out vegan). They don't really cook their tofu long enough, and their tempeh costs an extra $2. Strangely for a "thai" restaurant they don't have eggplant anywhere on the menu :( I know they just moved a few months back so I gave them five chances. It was only good once, and completely inedible two of the times. In one dish (the herb stir fry I think) all I could taste was tomato sauce, I understand using it as a sauce base but nobody wants a tomato sauce stir fry lol. One other slightly disappointing time they didn't put any spice in at all even though I ordered it 4.0 I wish them the best, hopefully these suggestions help them improve and save people from some disappointment. read more

I would hardly call this place authentic. Ordered the pad thai and it was very oily, overcooked, and i hardly got any green onions. The thai iced tea tasted flat and not very flavorful, like it was from a package, but the staff let me switch it out for another drink instead. My brother got the tom yum soup and it was nothing special. The outdoor area is very nice and the service was good, giving the place an extra star. read more
