Highly recommend. Received several recommendations for near by dining options from a salesperson…read morewho was familiar with the area. Looked up each of the recommendations and this one was the closest and had the highest stars relative to the cost. Very happy we ended up here. Ordered Pad Thai, blue rice, and a spicy chicken and bell pepper dish. The Pad Thai was on the sweeter side - anymore sweeter and I may have given four stars instead. Plenty of shrimp. The chicken and bell pepper was delicious with just the right amount of heat. And the blue rice was beautiful: no different taste so it's just pretty. The place gets filled up quickly so recommend a reservation especially if on the weekend.

5 star food with excellent service - very welcoming and knows how to upsell lol…read more Food Orderd: 1. Fried Chicken Roti Combo - holy fried chicken crispy, combo comes with 1x leg and 1x thigh cut into two pieces. Curry was delicious and balance, excellent when dipped with the crispy roti or fried chicken. Pickled veggies were a great pairing and sweet and sour added another dimension. 2. Pad Thai - glistening noodles served inside an egg omelet. Very solid pad thai - sweet, sour, salty. Don't forget to add the fresh shrimp, these were cooked perfectly and plump. I recommend the restaurant should take the shrimp tail shell off for us. 3. Thai Basil Lemonade - solid lemonade, NEED more basil flavor. Overall, I'd come here again to eat and try other items as well. I'll give it a 5 star for now but more 4.5.

Popped into Hat Yai this evening for the first time and very glad we did. The food was delicious…read moreand vibe was bustling. I'll start by saying this place is definitely not big so come with the expectation that you might have to wait for a table. There's only about 8-10 tables in the place and it's definitely geared towards smaller groups. Regardless we ordered at the front and then were able to find a seat. Wound up ordering the combo to try and get a taste of everything. The portions were solid and everything was super tasty. The chicken is perfectly breaded and delicious. It's a bit of a messy meal so just come with that in mind. Have a bunch of different options that also looked tasty. Will have to come back and try again. Service was fine. They were kind and cleared the table. Water is self serve at front of the restaurant and they clearly do a fair amount of takeout. Cool local spot to definitely check out.

Great chicken and rice. Not sure how they do it, but the chicken is soft, tender, moist and very…read moreflavorful and the rice is very aromatic and delicious. The sauce they use with the chicken and rice is great and is worth buying to take home to make your own dishes better. There is a good amount of seating both inside and out. I also tried the pork which was good but I prefer the chicken so will stick to that on a future visit. I have tried a lot of places that do the same thai style chicken and rice and it's almost always a miss for me, something is always off, usually the chicken is touch, or too dry, or lacking flavor but here it just hits right.

Incredible!! The best Thai food we have ever had. To be fair, I haven't been to Thailand yet, but I…read morehave tried a variety of Thai places across the U.S. This was amazing and I will definitely make a special stop here next time I am in Portland. Service was efficient on a weekday for lunch. I was very impressed that the woman serving us also cooks. She said she has one other person helping her over the weekend. The food was SO DELICIOUS. This was the best pad Thai we had with such depth of flavor - not too sweet or oily, just perfect. We also had the pad kra pao, eggplant and tom kha. The tom kha had good flavor and with a thinner broth that I'm used to which was fabulous. The eggplant was so delicious - the consistency was incredible. Not too soggy, just right. I also tried the mango sticky rice. For drinks we had the Thai lemon tea which tasted like Thai iced tea without the milk and lemon added - delightful! We even bought an extra dish to take with us to go. Amazing place. Ambiance is casual. I can't wait to return.

Today I enjoyed the braised pork over rice (#4): the broth served in the ramekin is so delish. Ordering and access to condiments is very efficient and orderly. Turnaround is relatively fast.

Tucked right next to Cheese & Crack, it's a cute spot with cozy interiors and great drinks. The mango sticky rice (when they have it) is so good, and the Pad Thai never misses.

Everything was flavorful, comforting, and beautifully done. Cute vibes, solid food, great drinks. Definitely overdue for a return visit.
