We visited on Valentine’s Day and after our delicious meal of curry and Thai basil stir fry, our mango sticky rice desert was served with this beautiful presentation. Since mangos are not in season, they import theirs and they were perfectly ripe. The blue sticky rice was great too. The restaurant is affordable priced and our dinner hit the spot! If you want a comforting meal you can’t go wrong here.
Delicious food, good portions, and lovely atmosphere! I went here for Valentine's day with my girlfriend and it was wonderful! We got an appetizer, entrees, drinks, and desert: all were great!! We'll be coming back again
So consistently good, and the staff is chill, atmosphere is fun! Food is 💣 Locals get this place. Insta-chasers typically don't know how to review Khao San. Act like a local - try the Khao San Ginger Lager (fire) 🫚 and their cocktail menu and beer tower make for a fun Sunday afternoon! 2/13/26 Here we are again! Crying 🐅 and oodles of 🍜- this is HOOD GOOD!
There are a lot of Thai restaurants in Portland. Khao San is the hidden gem for Thai food in this city and they have been opened for over decades. Foods ; Pretty authentic taste like you eat the local foods in Thailand you might not need to ask any condiments to add on just tell your server what you wanna eat and the level of spice you can handle ..That’s it !! Their food presentation is so beautiful, they garnish foods with eatable flowers and greens that make food more fancy and unique. I’d recommend the grilled menus such as Kor moo yang, Gai yang , Crying tiger or Ping, they marinated meats with their sauces and served with the house special dipping sauces moreover if you order smth grills, Do not forget to order papaya salad to eat with grill menu that is good combination like a perfect pair of red wine and steaks in version of dining at Thai cuisine. Other items that I would recommend are Khao Soi, Chineses broccoli with crispy pork belly, Pad thai, Pad see ew, Pad kee mao, Holy basil (Pad kra pow) , Duck curry, Massaman curry with crispy roti, Those items really hit the spot. You won't be disappointed if you order them for sure..!! Cocktails; they have a lot of signature cocktails and mocktails on the drink menu, their cocktails are very interesting, It is combined between Eastern - Tropical ingredients mixed with Western mixology style, for example they make cocktails from Thai tea, Lychee, Green tea and other tropical ingredients that they can find in the US . Lychee sorbet martini, Phuket fantasy and Forest Gump are my favorites but I have to come back here again to try their cocktails more. Atmosphere; Fun environment like you are on Khao San Road in Thailand that well known for the tourists from around the globe. They have dining table TuK Tuk inside the restaurant that you don’t have to fly over 17 hours to Thailand for riding on Tuk Tuk. Service: The foods come out pretty fast, friendly and helpful staff.
I had lunch here on a business trip and was pleasantly surprised by the food and how sweet the servers were. I got the lunch special Pad See Mao with chicken (medium spice) and a Thai iced tea. The spice level was a bit hot for a medium, but perfect for me. If you like really spicy food, this place will deliver the heat! The tea was perfectly sweetened, creamy and not too strong of a tea flavor. The ladies taking orders and serving food were very kind and polite, greeting people happily and sending guests off with a smile as well. The place was busy during lunch but they are efficient in cleaning tables and getting people sat and served. The only thing that would make the atmosphere better would be better music :) (totally a personal issue tho!!) Although there is lots of Thai food to choose from in Portland, I’d recommend this spot in the Pearl District for lunch 😋
