Khao San
Welcome to Khao San, a delightful Thai restaurant situated at 1435 NW Flanders St A in the heart of Portland, OR. This gem invites you to embark on a culinary journey through vibrant flavors and authentic ingredients that capture the essence of Thailand.
At Khao San, the menu brims with an array of tantalizing offerings. Start your meal with the renowned Tom Yum Goong soup—a harmonious blend of mildly spicy and sour lemongrass, shrimp, and aromatic herbs that warms the soul. If you're in the mood for something hearty, the Khao San Holy Basil Chicken will beckon your taste buds with its stir-fried minced chicken, fragrant holy basil, and a delectable fried egg, all elegantly served over premium jasmine rice. Not to be missed is the Bamboo Chicken, featuring tender chicken stir-fried with garlic, fresh vegetables, and a hint of spice that elevates each bite.
The restaurant's ambiance embodies a relaxed but vibrant atmosphere, reminiscent of the lively streets of Thailand. With spacious seating, large wood beams, and playful Thai decor, it creates a welcoming haven for both locals and visitors. Many patrons appreciate not only the delicious food but also the impressive plating that brings a touch of artistry to each dish—think flowers gracing the plate alongside your drink!
Customer reviews reflect a consensus on the quality of the dining experience here. Kara Sanford raves about the "perfectly balanced spice" and the freshness of the ingredients, while Jeff Monahan highlights exceptional service that makes you feel right at home. However, some guests suggest nudging the spice levels higher than usual for the true Thai experience. As Pennie Richerson humorously pointed out, even when the heat wasn't quite "insane" enough for her, the attentive staff readily provided spices to customize her dish. Their commitment to customer satisfaction is palpable and deeply valued.
No matter if you're a die-hard fan of Thai cuisine or simply exploring new flavors, Khao San offers an outstanding meal crafted with love and dedication. With its authentic dishes and a warm, friendly atmosphere, it guarantees both a satisfying meal and a memorable outing. Reserve your table today, and prepare to explore the best of what Thai cuisine has to offer!
