Visiting a friend and she spoke highly of this place. It did NOT disappoint. Flavors are AMAZING. I had the smoked duck curry which was good and a kick of spice creeps in on each bite. My friend had the fried chicken set it was also delicious I would recommend rice for your excess curry on that plate. It was also Amazing!

Thai the most Portland way. It is a staple of the city and questionably some of the best chicken. The curry is amazing. Do yourself a favor and grab the Hat Yai combo - everything pairs perfectly together.

My wife and our son Was trying to figure out where we’re gonna go for dinner after a little shopping around they decided on this place. It was close to home. Our first visit. We ordered the chicken wings curry very very good. Chicken was excellent one of the best margaritas that we’ve had.

The brisket Curry is one of the best Thai dishes in all of Portland, and so is the spicy ground pork. Most authentic Thai flavor in PDX.

The ground pork is also fantastic. The fried chicken is really wonderful. The curry that comes with the fried Chicken is kind of bland and uninteresting to me personally.

Service is as great as counter service could be. And ambiance is as good as no fuss utilitarian plastic tablecloth ambiance could be.

Honestly this place is seriously overrated. The food was really just okay - the brisket curry was a let down with the flavors underdeveloped and the Thai ground pork was just a salt bomb. The fried chicken had a nice crisp and I enjoyed the fried onions topping but the meat was bland. The worst part though was the ambience - blasting terrible music that’s designed to get people in and out. Such an overwhelming atmosphere with pretty underwhelming food. The people working there were kind though. Overall, we dont plan on going back.

So freaking good!
My wife and I’s absolute favorite date spot.
On a date? Get the Hat Yai for two.
Double date? Get the Hat Yai for four.
Can’t go wrong with that, slaps every time!

I came here for lunch and ordered the Hat Yai Combo #1. This reminded me of Soul Food but the Thai version. The chicken was fried to perfection and the batter had some type of seasoning/herb that I couldn’t identify but elevated the experience. The curry was rich and flavorful, the roti was buttery and flaky. It was a decent sized portion that left me extremely full. I was shocked that the restaurant wasn’t super busy but appreciated the fact that I was able to get work done. This will be a spot I return to the next time I visit.

It's good but probably not hoopla-worthy.

The food is legitimately life-changing! I would eat the house curry every day for the rest of my life if I could.

Hat Yai has very generous portions with a great selection. Their fried chicken is great. But they have many different sets that let you get different curries, rottis, and other signature dishes. For your first time definitely get the fried chicken entree set and add a wing. It will come with a curry, delicious fried chicken, and great pickled veggies. If you don't want fried chicken they have many other options too.

The fried chicken is moist, crunchy, with a light and herby batter. It comes with a tangy dipping sauce. This fried chicken is not heavy at all.

There is street parking in the area. Expect to pay $16~24 (not including drinks). You order at the front then they bring the food out.
