Khao Thai — Restaurant in Portland

An excellent variety of Thai dishes, made with the freshest of quality ingredients and perfectly seasoned! Portions are generous and priced right with many vegetarian, gluten free, and vegan options, as well as several meat and seafood options. The owners are kind and welcoming, and the space is cheerfully decorated and comfortable. I can't believe how many times I've driven past this pink colored building and not realize that it was a wonderful Thai restaurant. You only signage is a very small sign high up on the building. I do recommend better signage because I fear too many people have made the mistake that I did and miss this great restaurant. I will be back soon! One note is that hotness levels seem to run more to the American than the Thai palate, so order spice level accordingly or ask the person...

YAY! A person can get superb Thai meal in Portland without cannabis and shrooms as the main. Ok so, as a native New Yorker, I am constantly surprised at how unthoughtful the Thai food and pizza is in Portland. (I will not go into the general local cultural lack of sense of humor or concrete communication style as a pain point because you live here too.) Deep breath. But honestly, until today, I had given up on getting good carbs or ethnic food anywhere in Oregon. Don't even try to get a bagel. Boiled doesn't mean bagel. I digress. Khao Thai is delicious! The spice levels are true to size. The vegetables are fresh, and its the best, the only, Thai food that I have had in Portland in the 7 years I have lived here that I would order from again, with anticipation!...

Picked a random Thai place to try. Read the reviews and BAM! Mom & Pop and locals establishment. Checked all my happy boxes of support. O.M.G. EAT HERE! 1. It's adorable. 2. Fast service, like whoa. 3. EVERYTHING WAS DELICIOUS 😋 I'm addicted to Thai spicy beef salads, did not disappoint. Spicy green beans, also a crowd pleaser. My roommate got the duck with tangerine sauce, she stopped speaking after the first bite 😆 we got spring rolls and the fresh rolls, just perfect. I've got so much leftovers I'm eating good for the next 3 days!...
