First time we tried food here and wow it was delicious!!!!! You should open another store in Seattle ? Update: we tried Tom Yum 7.1 (so good T will try next time) and Ba mee tofu (sooooo good). Not recommend khao moo dang (#1) for us

A hidden gem, recommended by my friend. This place is arguably some of the best food I've ever had in Portland. I had the number 6 soup version. It was amazing!

Came here on whim and oh my god, it was so good. My highlight was the crispy pork belly in the house curry soup, it was so unbelievably flavourful. The soup was closer to a sauce and I’m not complaining because it accompanied the light noodles. 10/10 wish I could eat more and definitely worth the visit

Everything is bomb! my favorite restaurant in Portland! Try the dumpling Soup! Also the best Thai Tea in Portland and it's reasonably priced which is great! Love it here!

Did not live up to the hype. The pork belly was slightly cold and not melt in your mouth like I've had other places. Slightly chewy.

Had high hopes for this place but it's not worth the hype. And they admitted to using large amounts of MSG! Their protein options are limited: tofu, pork & egg. I got the number 10 and the best part of the dish was the small bowl of broth. Everything else was subpar compared to all the other restaurants and options available in Portland. Also the meat was absolutely cold in my dish. My friend had a soup based dish and commented why is the meat cold? You would think they would serve piping hot broth but they don't it's like the purpose they give you cold food so you won't sit around. The noodles were flavorless! None of the reviews talk about the poor quality of the meat. There was so much fat on the pork that half the "meat"on my plate was inedible. It was gross to see all that white gelatinous fat stuck to tiny pieces of meat. They are clearly buying the cheapest quality of meat and passing it off by boasting that it's slow cooked for 12 hours. I was here with a party of five so I looked at my friends food and their pork was the same. Full of fat. They could surely trim the fat off the pork a bit so it's edible and actual meat. But they don't do that. I got the worst headache eating here called and asked them if they use MSG and she said yes we do we use it a lot. And my friend also got a headache! So if you're sensitive to that please know that they are using large amounts of MSG for flavoring in their bland food. The indoor seating is limited. And the guy who was running this place on Sunday was rude & barking at any customer who took a seat. He was such a jerk, other customers in line were shook by his behavior. If you have a party of four or larger you're gonna have a hard time finding indoor seating since this place is tiny. Also if your business has a tipping that starts at 22% and goes up from there you should be busing the tables for us and not requiring us to do that. To all the people saying this is amazing food maybe they are the same people that consider McDonald's gourmet burgers.

I love the food here. Their broth is divine. I just wish that I lived closer to eat here more often. #5 dry (so I can get the broth on the side) is my go to.

Dumpling Soup had great flavor and a generous portion of dumplings but was so salty it actually brought tears to my eyes. Staff were friendly but counter service at this price is silly. Felt bad for people who had to pay this much and sit in the "outdoor seating".
If you want the best food on Hawthorne, this is the spot.

Very homey restaurant with heated patio seating outside. We ate here on our last day in Portland and I will be dreaming about their curry noodles and crispy pork belly until next time :') 10/10 Would not recommend waiting until your last day here unless you hate yourself

I love supporting local businesses and honestly don’t think there’s anything like Khao Moo Dang out there. I was first introduced to this restaurant by a friend not thinking anything of it. After trying their number 8 “House Curry Noodle” it was exquisite. In my opinion, it’s a good balance of carbs, veggies, protein, and spice! I also like adding Chinese sausage as an extra topping/protein with the House Curry Noodle. It already comes with an egg, yu choy, crispy pork belly, pork loin, and egg noodles; all submerged in this yummy khao soi curry. After having visited the first time I went back with my friends and I’ve taken others there as well and so far everyone I’ve taken has liked it! Although the House Curry Noodle is my favorite from there, they have a wide variety of delectable items on their menu.

Amazing food, cute and a little quirky atmosphere. I really like all the instructions everywhere so I don't have to wonder if I am supposed to buss my own table and where to go. The lychee hibiscus drink is amazing.
