50 Best Thai Restaurants near Happy Valley

“What Thai restaurant doesn't have ginger? I also asked for an additional tea bag for my pot of tea and she refused unless I wanted to pay extra. FOR A TEA BAG! So I had weak tea and no ginger in my meal. They have fresh ginger next door at Fred Meyer ... I should have went and bought some while waiting for my order. Food was pretty but just okay. Then was charged $4 for the 2 little tiny cups of hot tea I drank.“

“One of our favorite Thai food restaurants, excellent quality ingredients, will prepare to your level of preferred spice and can customize dishes too. Curries and noodle dishes are all very good, we have tried most of the menu and it is all excellent. Booth seating and tables in small dining area is ideal for parties of 2, 4, 5 or 6, and a few times we have had ~10 or so people in our party, they were more than happy to combine tables and accommodate. Chefs/cools here are great, they pay attention to details and have good balance of ingredients. Staff are often attentive (but not always) so you might run out of drink or wait a while for your check, but if you do run out of water or need an extra napkin they will quickly oblige when you get their attention and ask politely. Food is what matters here and it's delicious, highly recommended.“

So many delicious daily specials alongside my standard pad thai order, it doesn't get better than Zaap. Service is amazing and the owner greets you each time you eat. Best customer service in town-Paul is my guy! This is my wife's favorite meal!“

“Phaya Thai has become our all-time favorite restaurant! They have figured out how to deliver high quality and delicious meals every time, and so quickly! The flavors are complex and they have so many options. Their proteins are always tender and flavorful from their beef to their catfish and even tofu. I have celiac and Phaya Thai is sort of a holy grail - a safe restaurant I thought would only exist in my dreams. We'll keep making the trek from Vancouver week after week!“

“Pok Pok is a Portland institution when it comes to Thai food, and it’s easy to see why. The restaurant serves up authentic Thai dishes with bold, vibrant flavors. The atmosphere is laid-back yet bustling, with an open kitchen where you can watch the chefs work their magic. I highly recommend trying the Thai-style chicken wings, which are crispy and bursting with flavor. The flavors are complex, combining sweet, salty, sour, and spicy elements that really pack a punch. The curry dishes are also exceptional, with a rich, velvety texture and plenty of spice. What I appreciate most about Pok Pok is its authenticity; the ingredients are fresh, and the dishes feel truly reflective of Thai cuisine. If you're a fan of bold flavors and exotic spices, Pok Pok should definitely be on your list when visiting Portland.“

I’ve been very happy with their Khao Pad, Pad Kee Mao, Pad Cashew Nut, Pad See Ew, and of course their Pad Thai. My partner loves their curry.

The staff is very friendly and the environment is comfortable. Large bar selection too. Highly recommended!“

“I was in Portland for cancer treatment and had to have a special diet. I could only drink broth. I went to Thai Seasons to ask for their help, because I trust the ingredients they put in their food. They were so kind to me and prepared a Tom Ka broth and a chicken broth for me. These broths were perfect, nourishing, and delicious. The ladies at Thai Seasons really turned a dismal day into a lovely one for me, and I will always visit them and eat there every time I am in Portland.“

“Wow! Like seriously WOW! I ordered Pad See Ew and the Pad Prik Khing and both dishes were/are incredible. The flavors the spiciness the freshness of it all. Pick up was also super nice and genuine. Stoked for this to be my nee go to Thai place!

“Came here around noon on a Thursday and got my food so quick! Had a Chicken Pad Thai and an order of pot stickers. The Pad Thai was a little soupy but delicious. I asked for medium spice and it definitely was - little spicy but nothing too crazy. The portion size was nice and large and they put plenty of chicken in it, the chicken pieces were a little big, wish they were a little smaller - same amount of chicken, just smaller.
The pot stickers were delicious and JUICY! I took a bite and juice hit my partner across the table from me. They were nice and crispy but not over cooked and the flavor was amazing.
Honestly, if you even remotely like Thai food then you’ll love this place.
Kinda wish I had taken a picture of my food to share it with you - sorry.“

“Met up with some dear friends at Ba Mee while I was in town and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We were fortunate enough to walk in on a Saturday night and grab a table. Service was very prompt and friendly. Started with a few appetizers...Chicken Satay (was good but not best I've had), Thai Wings (delicious and packed with flavor), and a Soybean sheet rolls (good but preferred other two appetizers). Mains ordered were Beef Pad See Ew (this was so so good!), Chicken Pad Thai (tasty dish but chicken was a bit of a let down compared to everything else) and I had the Ba Mee House Noodle Soup with duck (delicious and packed with noodles and tasty broth and veggies). Overall, it was a great experience and would recommend. Didnt get to take pix of other dishes as we ate the appetizers too quickly!“

“I have rarely ever eaten at a place more comfortable, kind, and wholesome than lemongrass thai. I can tell that a real love and enthusiasm is responsible for such a unique and special spot. The food(both spicy and not) and service is phenomenal, and has become a treasured spot for my partner and I.“

I never say that about restaurants, but I want everyone to know about Ruk Diew Cafe! the food was fresh ND so good. the coconut prawns were tender and flavorful, the fried tofu was crispy and the sauce yummy.

“Little mom and pop Thai restaurant in downtown Gresham. The food is very good, I did the beef and black pepper sauce from the house specials, and my wife had the pineapple fried rice. Pineapple fried rice has a nice unique flavor here, different from what I've had at other place, but delicious regardless. The black pepper beef was very good as well, sizzling hot served on a platter, and more veggies included than are listed on the menu, mushrooms, carrots, cabbage, onion, and I think one other in forgetting. Very cute restaurant and good food and service, will go again.“

“The fried chicken with sticky rice and sauce is special. Really delicious. I loved that you get real plates when you eat at the cart! Fried rice was delicious. Skip the Pad Kee Mao. Fast and friendly service. Bring back the coconut water!

Kid-friendliness: Clean and open area for my toddler to explore. Spice level of food was also good for him without any modifications.“

“crab puffs are amazing! I have tried noodle. rice, and curry dishes.....all of them have been amazing. The veggies and chicken are always high quality. My coworkers and I order lunch from there on a regular basis. so good“

“The presentation of the food is nothing short of superb—each dish is artfully arranged, making your meal feel special and inviting.

Service is also fast, so you won’t have to wait long to enjoy your meal. The restaurant’s ambience is another highlight. It’s colorful and artsy, with vibrant decor that adds to the overall experience. The setting feels both lively and cozy, making it a perfect spot for any occasion, whether you’re dining solo, with friends, or family. Overall, Ladda Thai House stands out for its excellent food, friendly service, and unique atmosphere—a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy delicious Thai cuisine in a warm, welcoming setting.“

“Great food! So yummy!❤️ love the Pad thai and Thai Iced tea. Would definitely recommend.“

“I've been here many many times and its one of those places I love to take people to. The food is wonderful and they've got some of the best crab puffs in town, easily. I don't venture too far out of my comfort zone with my green curry but they knock it out of the park so well that I can't bring myself to pull away from it. I've had the pumpkin curry and it was stupendously well flavoured and I've had some of the chicken fried rice and for what to me is a pretty boring dish I was very surprised at just how good it was.

As a bonus its the one place where if you ask for thai spicy they don't play 20 questions or try to placate you, they deliver it hot. I've bit off more than I could chew more than a few times thinking I could handle it due to most places not being willing to go there but they don't pull punches here and I love that.“
