Thai Ice Tea
Corinne B.

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.

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!

Mango Curry
Kathy L.

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.

Eugene Pad Thai (no spice)
Nat M.

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.

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!

1. Regular Pad Thai
Steve P.

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.

30. Yellow Curry

Where's my food?? Curious where the rest of my food went? Literally just got home to eat, and this is what I have.

60. Salad Rolls
Laura M.

I had the Eugene pad Thai with the salad rolls. Food was delicious!! The food also comes fast which is nice!

We got seated right away at a booth with a window view. My waitress was an older Asian lady. She was very nice, not too talkative, but she was on top of her things. I was craving soup and decided on the highly recommended tom kha with tofu. To start, we had thai tea, thai coffee and the shrimp triangle. For our entrees, we decided on the pad see eu (they spell it pad se eu here), panang curry. The shrimp triangles were very yummy. Definitely get those. The thai tea and coffee was good, but just a little watered. I expected the taste to last in my mouth for a little bit. But it didn't. For the soup, I was excited to taste the soup! It smelled really good and it was boiling hot. My thought after my first sip of Tom Kha was, ok, this is good, they got it, but it just wasn't quite there. I couldn't pinpoint what was missing. Then I figured out that they didn't use full coconut milk. It was just a little bit and it was the lighter version. How disappointing! I wanted the robust tang, spice and coconut like how I have at home. The entrees made me sad. I really, really wanted to love it. The panang curry should be rich, thick and creamy. Instead it was soupy. I was really expecting and wanting the curry to stick to my rice, but instead it made soupy curry rice. My daughter pointed out that the curry and the tom kha soup was the same color and consistency. I didn't want to believe, but I think they used the same base and added the appropriate toppingss and seasonings to make a soup and a curry. My saddest dish was my last one that came out. It was the pad se eu. The wide rice noodles was wet and in broken pieces. I'm Asian and I'm from Vegas via Hawaii which means we have a lot of Asian cuisines, we know our food and have friends who work in high end Thai restaurants. (Think Lotus of Siam) When rice noodles break into smaller pieces, it means the noodles are probably not fresh and got hard. To soften, the cook used extra water and the heat was not high enough to cook, so it stuck to pan, making the cook mix it around more...broken wet noodles that doesn't brown. Overall, I really wanted to love this place. It has potential. Maybe it was an off day but on that day I went, it didn't give me the wow I expected. Most of the items has the taste on point. Please don't water down the curry or use lower fat coconut cream. I'm not used to having regular brocolli in thai food either, but I guess this is what Eugene likes or what we can get. And people, share your food! Thai food is family style! Share it! Put it in the middle of the table and let the other person have some! I was people watching around my table and my table was the only one that didn't have our own entree per person. lol

The eggplant is tender and so rich and balanced in flavor, it is simply a delight to eat. We chose the Fried Tofu for the Pad See Ew and it was delicious. The Massaman curry came with a bowl of rice, brown or jasmine, as did the eggplant. We were a little concerned that the single bowl would not be enough because we were sharing the dishes family style. But it worked out. We also ordered off the special as well on the recommendation of staff chef Aria: the sausage appetizer and the Wild Mushroom Dumplings -- the presentation was striking and the cameras came out. Ordered the Painkiller which is by far one of the best cocktails on the menu. Side note: sometimes it's not quite blend long enough so chunks of pineapple block straw, but just ask them to blend a little extra so it's smoother. Last but not least: the Warm Spiced Cinnamon Sugar Donuts were delivered as promised warm and soft with a cinnamon sugar that loved every part of your fingers. But it was the quince ginger lemon curd that blew us away. Hands-down. We could not get enough of it. It's like an aphrodisiac and should be bottled and sold. Harmony was our server, and even though the model of service has changed so that you buy the food first and then our seated, during our meal she was attentive and thoughtful. My two guests were two of the most discerning diners I have eaten with and they were very delighted repeatedly expressing appreciation for both the taste and the appearance. It was also very gracious of Master Chef Hardinger to come out and say hello; he received their compliments warmly and they left saying they were excited to bring friends back. As long time Eugene residences I thought that was perhaps among the highest compliments they could give.

See photo. Other than this, I really love the food here. It's delicious, texturally interesting, and they take pride in their food. They also take pride in their service. I have always had kind service from the hosts and kind interactions with the cooks. I hope they learn to take pride in their cleanliness as well.

I ordered two appetizers for us: -Golden Squash: I get this every single time that how good & how much I love it.
