tofu and egg noodles
Roger M.

it's a wonderful and convivial location in the Pearl District for lunch or dinner. Large rollup doors open out to the courtyard when the weather is good. Speaking of good, service was very accommodating and handled a special side dish requested. I loved the egg noodle and tofu with mustard greens. Delish broth. Nice in-house made sauces to take it up a notch with the heat. Pork spring rolls were so good. Very crunchy and crispy on the outside. Sourcing ingredients from NW farmers that grow Asian type produce. I know this because I saw the delivery truck out front one morning. I prefer local. And I like that the restaurant wants to support local too. Definitely coming back!

On a chilly day in Portland, I was craving a warm, comforting meal that felt homemade, and that's how I came across this ramen spot. It was close to closing time, but thankfully they were still serving, so I decided to walk in.Since it was my first visit, I asked the staff for a recommendation and ended up ordering the House Curry. It was absolutely delicious. The bowl was generous in size, and as someone who rarely finishes an entire meal, I was happy to have leftovers to enjoy the next day.One thing I really appreciated was that they keep takeout containers on a counter, so you can pack up your leftovers yourself without having to ask for a box.What stood out to me most was how vegetarian- and vegan-friendly the menu is. Almost every dish can be made vegan, which gives you so many options. The curry had just the right amount of spice and was exactly the comforting meal I was looking for. I left feeling full, happy, and already looking forward to the leftovers. The staff was also incredibly friendly, which made the whole experience even better.

Mango Sticky Rice cocktail

This is not your average Thai spot with curries, fried rice and wok noodles. They specialize in Thai noodle soups. You get to pick your broth base then noodle type. There are optional add-ons for extra but I felt like the default toppings of bean sprouts, leafy greens and pork rinds was plenty. I got the five spiced pepper broth which was a non-spicy broth. The flavor had herbal notes and was dense and savory and melded well with the rice noodles. I loved the mango sticky rice cocktail I got as well. It was fragrant with pandan, mango and coconut flavors and wasn't too sweet. The drink was super refreshing paired with the noodle soup. The interior of the space is very eye-catching. The neon lights and bright decor really makes it feel like I'm in Asia.

Overall a great spot to grab a quick lunch or dinner with friends! The amount of food you get is a lot. I got the original thai boat noodle soup with the rice noodles and it was great! The only downside is that the broth is not super hot and my noodles were overcooked. The textures of the bowl were on the soft/mushy side. I loved the wonton snack, but would pass on the egg rolls. Interior of the shop is so cute! Workers are all very kind.

I love the inside of this spot! Vibrant and casual and easy to order. We chose two different broths and two different noodles for the same soup. It was delicious and comforting and I need to try all of the broth selections. The yum Thai salad was outstanding! Tangy, salty, excellent textures. Definitely order that.

24.2. Vegan Yen Ta Fo Broth
Keely N.

It was quick to get a table of 2. I really enjoyed the vegan options. We started off with the spring roll. It was a bit dry, but I would prioritize getting entrees over appetizers. You can't go wrong with ordering any of the noodle soups! We ordered the curry noodle soup and vegan yen ta fo.The cocktails were affordable compared to most restaurants downtown. Love the decor with the street style design and neon lights.

Cute place, food was good. Appetizer was okay, too many similar flavors with the other dishes. I didn't realize the that before ordering. The signature dishes were very tasty and flavorful. Nice to have a Thai restaurant that is different and distinct from other places.

Left to right: Bangkok Mule, Chrysanthemum Tea, Mango Sticky Rice
Torie T.

We had an absolutely incredible experience here! When you enter, they have you sign in and wait to be seated. Because it was pretty much empty, we were sat right away. The hostess walked us through how to order in detail-- you scan a QR code and order that way, but they bring your food to you and bus your table. There's a water station and to-go containers available as well. I felt like the hostess was super friendly and made sure we were comfortable ordering, and assured us we could come order directly if we got confused. I was so excited to see that a ton of their menu can be made vegan! A lot of places limit broth options especially, but that wasn't the case here. Their menu is very clear about what is and is not vegan, and about allergens-- I rarely see it spelled out this cleanly, and it was much appreciated! We ordered three drinks. The Bangkok Mule was excellent, the Chrysanthemum Tea was lovely and had that very sweet honey come through well. The Mango Rice stole the show-- it actually tastes like, well, mango sticky rice, but it was strong and refreshing as well. I highly recommend. My partner got the namesake-- Guay Tiew Ruea. He thought it was wonderful. Every variation of their pork was cooked well, including the mince, which is often hit or miss. I ordered the Ya Ta Fo, and was blown away. It is the PERFECT spring/summer dish, very light, acidic, and savory. It also has the added bonus of dying the noodles and tofu pink! Truly, one of the best Thai dishes I have ever had. They also brought out some hot sauce and chili crisp. A staff member talked us through what the hot sauce was (habanero vinegar) and advised us to add slowly. The chili crisp was a delightful addition to my noodles, and my partner liked the hot sauce in his (the vinegar brightened everything nicely). I greatly enjoyed dipping our spring rolls in the hot sauce too. Overall, an excellent meal. I walk by this building nearly every day, so I've been anxiously anticipating the opening of the restaurant. How exciting that it lives up to the hype!

I've been here a couple of times for lunch now and both times have been good. The food is consistent and the flavors are on point. I like the boat noodles the best. The curry one was also good and good well with the egg noodles. The tender pork basil stir fry was delicious but was a bit spicy for me this time (I think it may have been the peppers), still worth getting. The service here is pretty quick as you can order from the QR code or up at the counter. On the weekdays, they are only open for lunch on Friday, which is a bummer.

3. Pork Meatballs (GF)
Phuong N.

Overall, pretty good experience. I like the flavor for broth and the diversity of topping. I've been to Thailand before, and I enjoy how restaurant is Decor very street Thai style. I personally don't like their salad and the meat ball a lot. The meatball is a little bit soft for my taste. The salad is too simple. The restaurant is not very kid friendly because I tried to find changing table for my baby and there's no changing table in the bathroom.

The sweet and sour broth and a Mango Sticky Rice cocktail
Scott S.

I really like the simplicity of the place with easy ordering and very quick order delivery. The mango sticky rice cocktail was nice and light but left something to be desired. All the ingredients are very nicely done and was pleasantly surprised by the minced pork patty as it stayed together not falling apart becoming a pain like happens at some other places. Staff was friendly and restaurant aestherics are fun.

Ed G.

Four Star for the value and service. Place pretty nice and modern. The food for what it is was not bad but nothing special. If you looking for a quick bite or affordable lunch or dinner this is a good spot.

3. Pork Meatballs (GF)
Andrea W.

I visited Guay Tiew recently and I was genuinely surprised by the atmosphere, as I found the place is much nicer than I thought it would be. I really appreciated the convenience of ordering using the QR code on the table and being able to pay right away, which made the whole process so seamless. I started with the dish shown in image.png, which was a great way to begin the meal. I also ordered the pork meatball and the curry noodle soup. I thought the flavors were excellent, and I couldn't resist trying the dry noodles as well. I am happy to give this spot a 4/5 rating because I had such a positive experience.

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.

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.

We had an awesome experience at Zaap! We went at an odd hour but they were ready and on their game!…read moreSuper friendly service and we had a tall beer in no time. The egg rolls were really good, so was the Duck Curry, but the fried rice stole the show. Something so simple packed with so much flavor. Very laid back vibe, with a bit of a dark subtle decor that allows for a solid date spot as well.
