I only ordered here from DoorDash for the few days I’m in town. My goal was to try as many different restaurants as I could for the time I’m here… but let me tell you the food here is sooooo gooood I had to eat it more than once. Get the Thai Basil friend rice with duck, Tom yum soup, and the blue crab wontons. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT.

The food was delicious, with authentic Thai flavors in every dish. The service was friendly and quick and the pricing was affordable. It's a cozy setting, smaller restaurant but that adds to the charm.

Came at 630 on a Tuesday. We ordered an iced tea, the drunken noodles, veggie dumplings, cucumber salad, and choo-chee pla(fish). The former three were all excellent, but the fish was outstanding. It was lightly fried and incredibly flavorful. The service was fast and the portions were good at a reasonable price point. Would recommend.

The food is fabulous. Only take out but quick and easy. If you go at lunch you may run into them kids from the local school.

I would give Kinabalu Thai zero stars, actually. This was the worse Thai food I’ve ever put in my mouth. The only thing edible in our entire order was peanut sauce.

Great chicken pad thai. Simple quick mobile order, the wait wasn’t long at all. Thank you to everyone here for serving my lunches.

After living in Thailand for 1 year, this IS authentic!!! Amazing food & service, you won’t be disappointed. For starters I had Khao Kloog and I would recommend!
Always so good! And I go there a lot! Pad Thai is consistently great & the Pra Ram is pretty exceptional!

I'm so excited I discovered this place! They have a lot of really authentic menu items you don't see in Thai restaurants in the U.S. as often, and the food is really delicious. This is my new favorite Thai restaurant in town.

I am obsessed with this place! Everything I've tried has been fantastic and they have a lot of unique options I haven't seen at other Thai restaurants in Portland. I used to work nearby and now have to make the drive back every so often for the khao kloog, my favorite.

My new neighborhood go-to spot, I literally went here every day for a week after I found out about it because it’s 5 minutes away from my place and the food is FANTASTIC. I definitely recommend the Pad Kee Mao (my partner’s favorite) and the Gra Prow Grob (my favorite). I was getting really disappointed in Portland’s bland thai food, but this place restored my faith. The spice level is nice too, they don’t skimp!

My hubby cannot resist the cashew chicken here. I have tried a few items from the menu, and been happy with every single one.
