Kau Kau on NE Alberta knows how to make a plate of food memorable. The garlic shrimp, with deliciously crispy, edible shells, transported us straight back to a favorite Thai restaurant in Las Vegas. All the flavor, none of the airfare.
Mom's Garlic Chicken was another standout, with layers of savory flavor, intriguing textures, and bright yellow house-pickled daikon that brought everything together. The pork lumpia, paired with a wonderfully salty, lively dipping sauce,...read full review

Didn’t take a photo, but finally got out there and tried their garlic chicken. Cooked perfectly with just enough sauce. Paired with some rice, this dish broke da mouth 🙏🏼
I had the Katsu curry and my wife had a poke bowl. Both were very good but neither were truly exceptional. The ambiance and indoor seating is very nice and relaxing. They have a good drinks selection with plenty of alcoholic and non-alcoholic options. There is outdoor seating with a few tables on the street. Overall a very nice experience and I would go back again.

Kau Kau PDX, located on NE Alberta, offers a delightful array of Hawaiian and fusion dishes that leave a lasting impression. The garlic shrimp features crispy, edible shells and is reminiscent of a beloved Thai restaurant in Las Vegas, making it a must-try. Another highlight is Mom's Garlic Chicken, praised for its savory flavor and unique textures, complemented by house-pickled daikon. The pork lumpia, with its lively dipping sauce, is also a crowd favorite.
The menu includes Katsu curry and poke bowls, both of which are good but may not stand out as exceptional. The Meat Jun, a Korean Hawaiian fusion dish, is a rare find and comes highly recommended. The chicken katsu is notably crispy and served with a generous portion of rice, making it a satisfying choice.
Kau Kau provides a cozy atmosphere with both indoor and limited outdoor seating, perfect for enjoying the thoughtfully prepared meals. The drink selection includes both alcoholic and non-alcoholic options, though some cocktails may be stronger than expected. Overall, Kau Kau PDX offers a memorable dining experience, encouraging guests to return and explore more of their flavorful offerings.
