I normally eat with my friends here because their foods are so good. However, I ordered Squid Salad and Stir fired Beef Eggpants today, they are too salty. Please don’t throw lots of salts in the food. Well, I will give them another to come back if they can change.
Had chicken pad Thai you get to put your own spicy sauce for whatever heat you want.
After 35 years in Portland and having tried numerous Thai restaurants, this particular Chaba Thai is our favorite! Constantly reliable. Highly recommend.

Cha'Ba Thai is a popular neighborhood Thai restaurant with multiple locations across town. Known for their delicious Chicken Satay and mainstays like Pad Thai and Pad Ga Pro, they also offer unique dishes like the Volcano Beef that comes out on fire. The staff is friendly and accommodating, with quick service whether dining in or getting takeout. Despite a small mistake with an order, the staff was quick to fix it and apologetic. The flavors of their dishes are consistent and flavorful, making Cha'Ba Thai a reliable choice for Thai cuisine. The restaurant has plenty of seating and easy parking behind the building. Recently, visitors have praised the food highly, especially the Pad Thai, which some say is the best they have had outside of Asia. The interior was renovated recently and now features a modern, warm, and inviting atmosphere with touches of Thai design. Customers enjoy a variety of dishes such as Panang Beef Curry, Papaya Salad, Pad Ka Prao, and Boat Noodle Soup, all praised for their rich flavors and perfect textures. The mango sticky rice is considered heavenly, with ripe mango and soft, chewy rice topped with coconut. Friendly service, especially from servers like Lexi, adds to the positive experience. Some guests mention trying the eggplant stir-fry, which is described as phenomenal with savory, spicy sauce, and the Pad Thai, which has a rich flavor. While the Thai tea was not as satisfying for some, overall, Cha'Ba Thai remains a favorite spot for Thai food lovers and those exploring new flavors.
