This place is a hidden gem! Seems to be family run so it’s closed on the weekends. The dishes have some of the richest flavors of any Thai food I’ve had in Portland and there are some really unique house specials (pumpkin curry, mango curry, crab fried rice and spicy chicken and shrimp our favorites). Portions are extremely generous!!

Vegetarian options: Dishes are ptotein optional with tofu option.Parking: About 3-4 spots in lot, and street parking, and we were the only guests eating in, so it was fine, but it is a busy street.Kid-friendliness: No worries, but it is a small space. Also ask for no spice probably. See pictures.Wheelchair accessibility: Street level.

The food was impeccable, portions were massive, and service was so friendly and good. We were so surprised. Walking in the place seemed a little cramped and sketch, but the food was great so it’s ok.

This place is fire, best Thai food I've had in Portland so far hands down, and lucky for me, it's very close to my house. Prices are very reasonable, diverse menu, huge portions, and I've always had very pleasant experiences with staff there while calling my order in and picking it up. I highly recommend, this place literally restores my faith in eating out once I'm burnt out on other restaurants and questioning why I bother eating out so much in the first place lol

Walking into this place is walking into something special. Like that kitchen of a relative or a neighbor who knows how to cook. It is small but you know something wonderful is going on. Had drunken noodles and my friend had pad thai. Mine was fresh delicious and full of flavor. I take her word for hers because she got Thai hot. (I like my insides). She said it was the best she had in years.This place is a hidden gem. The staff was fantastic and friendly. Knowing the regulars by name. One walked in not knowing what he wanted. Her reply was "I'll make you something you love."Parking is a little troublesome but it was a small price to pay. I will continue to visit this place. Try different things and experience the wonderful atmosphere.

Food is authentic and delicious. Fresh cooked seafood that even to go is not chewy. Service from Joy is a delight. She is blunt and also clever and well spoken. Atmosphere is hard because with food and service so good, who cares.
Obsessed with their wonton soup. It's the only thing I can eat when I'm sick or have had trouble with my appetite. I pray they never stop serving this....I might actually die

Very small venue. Food came quick and had a good amount of heat to it. I had the squid Curry and the squid was very tender. Came with a big portion of delicious, steamy, freshly made rice.Wheelchair accessibility: Not enough room for a wheelchair. The eating area is a narrow hallway shape, most of the building is taken up by the kitchen.

I love this place dearly. It is one of the first places I ate when I moved here, and even after all the wonderful food I have eaten in this city, Chai Thai stands out as an exemplary example. The food is absolutely amazing. They never miss here. My favorites are the larb and pad prik khing. The menu is extensive though and I recommend trying everything that interests you.

Really good noodles! I love that they can actually get spicy on their spice levels, in Oregon I feel like most restaurants are never flavorful or spicy enough, not here. They nail it! Spice levels are on request, level 2 if you're not a hot but some good spice, level 4 is perfect for us!

Great food. Had the mussaman chicken. Was very flavorful. Quick service.
