    7.1 Ba-Mhee Tom-Yum Haang 8. House Curry Noodle Cha-Yen
    Vivan T.

    I am so sad that I am from out of town so I won't be able to eat Khao Moo Dang again. The 7.2 Ba-Mhee Tom-Yum Naam was the star of our meal. Soup was very flavorful and had a small spicy kick (beware if you can't handle spice). The 8. House Curry Noodle was also good but not our favorite since it was too sweet forward for our liking. It was the best khao soi we've ever had though. The crispy pork belly topping that is included in both items was the best crispy pork belly we've had from Thai restaurant. It looks like it can be dry but it's actually soft moist flavorful and freshly crispy. Other places they make it too dry or too hard, or the skin is stale/hard. Lastly $3 Cha-Yen you can't beat the value of this. It actually had such good tea flavor and not overly sweet or weak like a lot of other restaurants. We liked it so much we bought more to go to enjoy during the rest of our trip.

    Worth more than the hype. Khao Moo Dang is all that and more. Delicious egg noodles bursting with flavor. I loved the 11 with chili crisp. The side of bone broth is so good. The dry noodle option is excellent. This spot is counter service and often popping at dinner time. We came at lunch and sat immediately with food served quickly. I can't recommend this restaurant enough.

    Great food, chill vibes, can't ask for much more. Just a nice order ahead and sit down with your food spot. Flavorful dishes and they come out surprisingly fast. You get great value for your money too. The saucy pictured dish is the Khao Moo Dang Pi-Set for $18, very filling because you get the extras with a whole boiled egg, dumplings, and yu choy. I was starving after a workout and was pretty full after eating this. My wife got the Ba-Mhee Tom-Yum which had great flavor with a good kick, my wife can't handle spice well and struggled a bit but it was perfect to me. Egg noodles were perfect and not soggy. Biggest surprise of these dishes was the crispy pork belly that remained crispy despite being in sauce or broth. I would come back for sure for a solid delicious meal.

    Wow I can see why the line was out the door, this place was PACKED! You order first before finding a spot to seat. Came with a group of friends and we loved everything. Love coming on a group so we could try everyone's dishes from the noodle soups and rice dishes. I ordered the #12 Ba Mee Tom Kha. Perfect for a chilly day. Pork belly so crispy and good. Definitely not your basic Thai food. Everything was packed with flavor.

    11, 12 and 19 - I kept repeating it as I stood in line for what we were going to order. Loved the whole set up of this place. Small and cozy but always a table available for you. Food came out super quick and was so delicious. 11- ba mhee moo-ab haang- sold at the 12 hour braised pork line in the description. 12- Tom kha- one of the best I've ever had 19- steamed pork dumplings- incredible and super flavorful Can't recommend this place enough!

    TL;DR Cheaper eats and gourmet deliciousness My wife and I wanted to try one of the restaurants that made the yelps top 100 nation list. And this honestly did not disappoint. Again I preface that I tend to be more generous towards local businesses when it comes to ratings on yelp due to our ever in reading reliance on the yelp, open table or google review on a restaurant, bar or social area. Believe me when I say this is a place in Portland you don't want to miss, I appreciated the vibes and the rnb and hip hop vibes the bar was bringing. But you aren't here to read this for the vibes, you're here to read this for the food. My wife had a delicious Thai curry and I have a delicious rice plate with the most crispiest of pork, complementary sausage and flavorful sauce. I tasted my wife's dish which was equally umami filled and delicious and it was TOFU which I am not a fan of normally. Anyway before this review gets too long, go ahead and enjoy these photos of the good food we experienced and know it is worth your time.

    We have never had Thai soup noodles before outside of khao soi. Despite having to eat outside in the rain because their restaurant was under renovation, and having to deal with the homelessness in Portland our food was amazing. Negatives: -restaurant was under renovation so we had to eat outside. There was a patio covering for the outdoor dining. However, that did not prevent the homelessness from coming up to the patio, opening the door and asking us for money. We were visiting from LA though, so it's wasn't that awful. In LA it smells like pee too ‍ I understand their situation, the only people we can truly blame are the city and the people in charge ‍ Positives: -i got the house wonton and it was amazing. Despite having to eat in a Togo box, I didn't care. It still tasted amazing. My wife had the tom yum noodles and it was amazing for her too. We have had tom yum before, but the flavor this soup had took it to a different level. -prices were reasonable Overall 5/5 I can't blame the restaurant for the negative experience we had due to external factors. Based on the food and prices alone this is a 5/5

    This was probs the most authentic Thai food I have been able to find in the states! I got the 1.2 and it was so delicious and also extremely filling. The rice was perfectly cooked, the sausages have great flavor and it wasn't too salty either. The broth on the side was also a nice complementary thing to sip on. The 1.2 wasn't spicy, so you can add chili oil if you want that. The service was pretty quick, especially because the space was packed! Overall ambiance of the space was clean but not fancy at all. Seating was a bit hard, but that's bc the slave is small and the restaurant was popular. Honestly that's a good problem to have. If you're in Portland, definitely stop here for some comforting Thai dishes.

    Khao Moo Dang is an authentic Thai-Chinese eatery known for their delicious comfort food. This spot is located in the Hawthorne neighborhood where there is a good amount of street parking. Inside, they have cozy setup with seats indoors and outdoors at their patio. For their menu, they have a solid selection of dishes to choose from. Wifey and I ended up getting the Ba-Mhee Pi-Set (Dry) and a Lychee Hibiscus Juice to share. We really enjoyed the authentic and comforting flavors. All of the staff here are very friendly and welcoming. You really cannot go wrong with anything you order here!

    Food is sooo good. Tasty, flavors bursting. Crispy pork belly is cooked perfect. Yum!

    Sarah M.

    Good & quick service! You order at the counter & find a table. Cozy space. The food is phenomenal! Packed with flavor, worth the price. The drinks were very yummy as well! Lots of sauces to garnish if you dine in!

    12. 7.2 Ba-Mhee Tom-Yum Naam
    Payton H.

    Khao Moo Dang is a staple Thai restaurant for me that I keep coming back too. My only complaint is that they need a bigger location to accommodate for their popularity, as it can get pretty crammed with people. They have a moderately sized menu with pretty reasonable prices. The food comes out fast and they have condiments you can add to any dish to elevate the spice level. My favorite is the tofu curry noodle. The egg noodles are satisfying to eat with the perfect chew, the tofu has a nice spongey texture, and the curry broth is comforting, creamy, and aromatic. I have also tried the Ba-mhee tom yum soup and the signature khao moo dang dish, which were both amazing.

    #12 Coconut broth
    Olivia A.

    The food here is delicious! Tasty colorful bold favored dishes, house made dumplings, and house made sauces and seasonings. They offer dry noodle and broth noodle dishes (and more). We ordered the #12 (coconut based broth, spice level 2 IMO) and #7.2 (w broth spice level 4) and house made dumplings and two beers. They have indoor seating, and outdoor covered seating. The indoor seating can be a little busy, so if you go with 4 or more during the busy time (dinner) might have to wait for a bigger table. The establishment was clean and had trinket decor and history to admire. The service was fast and they were very nice! I think this little business is a staple. Our friends go regularly, as we will too now!

There is plenty of seating there and It looked like there was a space for live music and string lights - probably a fun spot to grab dinner in the evening. We came for lunch and ordered the chao mian with chicken (spicy) and bian bian noodles (spicy). The noodles are cooked to order and we were served quickly. The serving sizes are huge. Neither one of us could finish ours. We'll likely order one dish to split next time, and that'd still probably be more than enough. The flavor of the chao mian was a bit lackluster. It was savory with a soy sauce flavor base, but got a bit repetitive with each bite. It was decently spicy and texture was there with the veggies, but I wish there was a way to customize with more spice or vinegar to taste. The bian bian noodles were more flavorful and also spicier. Fun noodle texture. There are also other vendors in the garden so you can pair a dessert, drink, or side with your meal while staying in the same area. Overall, a filling meal for a good price! Would come again to try their beef noodle soup.
