I love Thai food so we met some friends here for dinner. We ordered a variety of appetizers and all were really good. Our dinner dishes were delicious, basil chicken was my favorite. The Pad See Ew wasn't as sweet as most places but it was still delicious. The service was fast and friendly. It's a small place and I was happy it wasn't very busy because I can see it being loud. If you live in the area I would say this is a must try.

Our Friends love and recommend Khao San. We decided to check it out. Ordered 'take out'. #52 Pad Prik POW Crispy Chicken and # 10 Fresh Summer Rolls. Food Ready on time and we thought it was great. Haven't been back yet. But we will.

Great little place! Excellent service and the food was very tasty. Nice and clean and a very casual ambiance. Recommend!

most favorite thai restaurant in town hands down! everything is so good and so authentic. this is my usual spot, nothing i tried has not been good. 10/10

Great place to visit in the town of Bethany. Loved this place. Very authentic and reminded of some small places that you find in Thailand. Service was friendly and attentive. Food was spot on and tasted great. Menu showed pad see ew with chicken but they accommodated my request for shrimp. Large prawns were served with my noodle dish. Thai music plays in the background but not overly loud and offers the perfect ambiance. Place was clean. I would highly recommend and come back for more. Menu had plenty of options to offer a wide variety of choices for anyone.

It's been 8 years since my last discussion of Khao San, so let's provide a little update: "Excellent flavors, expertly prepared." remains very true. The crispy pork belly remains crispy and porky, the sauces remain well-balanced. The people remain, well... nice. Perhaps not terribly efficient. Their grasp of flavor balance remains impressive, even if I do find myself often ordering 2 dishes to improve the protein-vegetable pairings. I have come here again, and again, and again. As the years have progressed, Khao San has done a fantastic job keeping its pricing accessible and its portions fair. Yes, there is bigger, better Thai in the Portland area... but not a lot of it. Even if you only have Thai once in a blue moon, Khao San should be in your rotation. The thing which stands out the most about Khao San, though, and why it easily holds its rating, is something subtle. It might sound a bit odd, but Khao San puts out one particular vibe: Respect. Khao San's cooks show great respect for their ingredients, not smothering them, but rather, accentuating their strengths. The prices respect your money, and therefore your time and effort, while also being fair to the business. The service staff both give and demand respect, taking their jobs seriously and reaching far to accommodate the patrons. Yes, sometimes someone forgets to check the front for patrons, but more often, a waitress thinks to confirm possible allergies to surprising ingredients. Khao San, from its menu to its staff, exemplifies respect.

I ordered Chicken Pad See Ew via Uber Eats. I've only had it from two other Thai restaurants. I slightly preferred it at the other restaurants. The chicken, noodles, and Chinese broccoli were all cooked well and tasted fine, just not as much flavor as the other places. I'll have to try more dishes here another time.

Nice little spot in Bethany. Khao San has a variety of options, most of which you can make vegan and vegetarian even though the titles seem otherwise. The Pad Thai with Tofu was solid, authentic with a ton of flavor. The Yellow Curry was also good, with the medium spice carrying the right amount of heat. It also came chock-full of tofu and other toppings, which made it very filling. Both dishes were made Vegan with Tofu and Medium Spice - though the Pad Thai was milder than the curry. I hope they do come around and keep the name of each dish without including the default protein as it made it confusing to order but other than than that it's worth checking out!
