The food at or from Chalerm is terrific. The basil fried rice and fried calamari are superb, and in general the food here is possibly the second best at any Thai restaurant I've ever been to, and that's saying quite a bit. Five out of the six or so Thai restaurants I've been to are all outstanding, and the only one of them that was clearly better than Chalerm was a particularly good one in Boston, Massachusetts. I feel that Chalerm is at least tied with Jack Sprat's and Stacy's for/as being the best three restaurants in Cottage Grove, Oregon.

Good food.

Diner Review №4

Authentic and cozy atmosphere, delicious food, and great service! The Tom Ka soup is my favorite, and you can never go wrong with the shrimp fried rice (: Above the top every time we've come here!

Diner Review №5

Diner Review №6

Great foods with large portions and fast served

Diner Review №7

Only Thai in Cottage Grove, nice folks.

Diner Review №8

What a disappointment. I picked up 2 takeaway meals that were almost all noodles. Very little meat in my husband's pad Thai and no vegetables or accompaniments. My Tom Yum soup with noodles also had only tofu and bean sprouts + plenty of noodles. I won't go back.

Diner Review №10

It's hard to get the hours down and the staff is small.
Worth it! The food is out of this world!

Diner Review №11

This is hands down the best, most authentic Thai I've found anywhere. Having this lovely family and restaurant in CG is wonderful.
My favorites are the Spring Rolls, Fresh Rolls, Calamari, and most of all, the Tropical Fried Rice . It's the one dish I crave daily 😋 Thank you for bringing so much goodness to our small town Michael and family!

Diner Review №12

Food is always amazing. Friendly staff and clean environment. Only issue is wonky hours. I do believe they would do a lot better if they had steady hour's. Still giving 5 stars best Thai in lane county.

Diner Review №13

Diner Review №14

Good food, served temperature hot. I don't like spicy hot, so I ordered mild. Lots of options on their menu.

Diner Review №15

Diner Review №16

Green curry, yellow curry, crab puffs, and pad see ew woo sen. Literally the best Thai food we’ve ever had. The hours are hard to follow but once you catch them open, you will not regret it!

Diner Review №17

The delicious Cottage Grove Thai food option.
The food is consistently quite good.
Service is good, very friendly servers and owners who are usually on site.

Definitely worth a try if you can catch them open.
They seemingly do a lot of takeout, and a few times we've gone, they have been closed to dining in and take-out only.
Again, definitely worth a try; if you can catch them open.

Diner Review №18

Love this place! Best Thai food in the county!

We stopped in on a very long road trip from LA to Seattle. The unassuming restaurant was friendly and delicious. It really checked all the boxes.

Diner Review №38

Diner Review №39

This place has some of the best Thai food! I recommend it forsure 👌

Diner Review №40

Excellent but spicy as hell. Medium is spicy here and spicy means something you haven’t every tried.

Diner Review №41

I asked for hot and got no heat and very basic flavor not like it used to be. They don't seem to get it, also the last time i showed up hungry during their normal hours they were closed.

Diner Review №42

Diner Review №43

It was a bit pricey, and the food was ok. The cannabis store next door was a lot nicer. LOL

Diner Review №44

Diner Review №45

Diner Review №46

Fun find in Cottage Grove. All the food is made to order and is quite tasty. The food selections ranged from traditional Thai food to Indian to American. They even found some fresh mango to serve with sticky rice. Yum!

Diner Review №47

Diner Review №48

I finally went to dinner at Chalerm Thai here in Cottage Grove. Mom and I were the only people seated inside this small quaint restaurant between 5-6pm on a Wednesday night, what I saw was a constant stream of people picking up their orders, I believe ‘door dash’ will deliver, and I know why. We ordered the Tom Kai soup, delicious, the Green Curry and The Garden Delight with chicken, everything was so fresh and excellent flavor, as the outside temperatures drop I’ll be ordering pick up or delivery!! I’ll definitely be back !

Diner Review №49

It took a little while for the food to come, but I was very pleased with the portion size. Lots of food!

Diner Review №50

In town visiting family and was craving Thai so got takeout to bring to hotel and was pleasantly surprised, drunken noodles and pot stickers were excellent! The portion of noodles was huge! The only thing they didn’t give me was a fork or chopsticks so remember to ask for that if you need one. I ordered a 2 out of 4 on the spicy scale and it was just the right amount of heat.

Diner Review №51

Ordered basil fried rice with vegetables. Lots of veggies, tofu and the right amount of spice. It was excellent.

Diner Review №52

Best Thai food in Lane County.

Diner Review №53

บรรยากาศดี พนักงานเอาใจใส่ดี ราคาเหมาะสม อาหารอร่อย น่ามาอีก

Diner Review №54

Friendly service, not bad wait at all for some tasty fresh Thai food. Ventured away from the phad se yu and tried the special, it was good. I want to try the orange chicken next time. The tropical fried rice is one of my faves.

Diner Review №55

Quite expensive and got the pineapple fried rice with chicken and the chicken was raw would expect to be better considering they have very little business.

Diner Review №56

This place is a hidden gem of Cottage Grove. My family loves the Panang Curry and Pork Fried Rice. Take out is always quick and efficient. Fine in is splendid. I’d put this restaurant up there with any big city Thai Restaurant!

Diner Review №57

Super good it really nice and the people there are kind too I love to go there again and again try it please

Diner Review №58

The elegant eggplant is one of my favorite dishes. These folks food is always good. Great bang for the buck.

Diner Review №59

Excellent food! I've had every one of their noodle dishes and they're all amazing!

Diner Review №60

The service was fast and great. The only thing I might criticize is that there wasn't much meat and it was all hiding under the noodles. I got pork pad thai. He brought watermelon slices with the check.

Diner Review №61

Very good hidden gem. Spiced food exactly as I asked for.

Diner Review №62

Food was good. Pad Thai was different than I've had and a little citrusy. I probably wouldn't get that again but something else. Atmosphere was pleasant and host was nice.

Diner Review №63

Excellent food. We have always had a wonderful experience with Chalerm

Diner Review №64

A great place with awesome food ..the manager is a kind man and very friendly.

Diner Review №65

Impressive menu, excellent food, impeccable service.

Diner Review №66

This place is amazing, service and food was absolutely top notch. We will be back !

Diner Review №70

Very good Pad Thai and stir fried veggies in Peanut Sauce. Cramped space was a bit difficult to negotiate with a scooter.

Diner Review №71

Food was excellent. Service was excellent. There were 10 of us and it's a small place so that slowd them down a bit, but the food still came pretty quickly even with a steady stream of takeout orders that coincided with our visit.

Diner Review №72

Diner Review №73

Quick stop off i5. A lot of food, very good!

Diner Review №74

This place was open during a snowstorm and gave us a free hot tea to keep us warm, which was above and beyond. Huge portions and great taste. Plus, they are owned by the sweetest couple. Definitely recommend

Diner Review №75

Ordered Pad Kee Mao ( Dry flavorless)
Several appetizers cold after a 3 min drive home. It was all cold

Diner Review №76

Love love LOVE this place. The fresh rolls and peanut sauce are AMAZING. And they offer LOTS of gluten free options!

Diner Review №77

Perfect curry (yellow curry) outstanding pai thai! Great portion size and amazing customer service, the woman at the front was so nice and I was blown away with the food first time there definitely not the last!

Diner Review №78

The food is good but their hours are not consistent. They randomly decided to close on a Thursday and just said that they put it on their Facebook an hour ago. Not everyone uses Facebook and if you want to run a successful restaurant you should keep consistent hours.

Diner Review №79

Every few weeks I can't stop myself from getting the "old time noodles" with beef and medium spicy... those noodles haunt my dreams they're so amazing. They have other great options that I've heard from other people... but I can't resist the noodles.

Diner Review №80

Diner Review №81

This is my place to go when I need my kind of comfort food. I try at least one new thing every time we go or order out and most have been great. My go to and absolute favorites are the Massaman Curry and the Potstickers and we order those every time and are not disappointed. The service is friendly as well. One of the two best places to grab a bite to eat in Cottage Grove for sure!

Diner Review №82

Really good food. Nice staff. Ask for specials.

Diner Review №83

This was in Cottage Grove. I live in Springfield and have eaten at many Thai Restaurants in surrounding areas. This was by far worth the drive. Food was excellent for both me and my guest. Service was met with a smile and each walk in guest received some delish drink..strawberry and blueberries in a soda whipped with ice cream or something...I could only drink a bit of it due to my heart set on the food and she made these as a apology for waitting 35 minutes for my order. Simply nice people and will defiantly return.

Diner Review №84

Quality Thai food worth the price

Diner Review №85

Literally the worst Thai I have ever had. I took one bite and threw it away. Such a waste of money. People who like this place have no comparison of real Thai food. Hope it closes soon!

Diner Review №86

great tasting affordable food

Diner Review №87

loved the green papaya salad. I will be back!

Diner Review №88

Best in Lane county.

Diner Review №89

Diner Review №90

Diner Review №91

Diner Review №92

Best place in cottage grove! Green curry is so good. Highly recommend

Diner Review №93

Excellent stir fry, good price, great portion

Diner Review №94

Super-good local Thai food. I've ordered from here multiple times and each time the food has been absolutley delicious.

Diner Review №95

one of the best thai restaurants in the area! large portions, and lately we’ve been receiving free spring rolls with every order. Veggies are always fresh and noodles are amazing. I order pad see ew with tofu. Chalerm is one of the few places that use carrots in their dishes.

Diner Review №96

I love this restaurant! My favorite in the area. Not your usual oriental pile of mushy veggies and gummy meat. Dishes are well-presented and service is so prompt and friendly. My favorite dish: Garden Delight with chicken. They can spice to your taste mild to weapons-grade!

Diner Review №97

Good food, fast friendly service and overall a good experience.

Diner Review №98

Best food in town

Diner Review №99

Some of the dishes egg noodles and drunken noodles are a little too salty but lacking other flavors. Just salty.

Diner Review №100

They were a "No Show"! We skipped the food in Eugene to eat local on the way home, and found out they weren't even open despite their posted hours saying they should have been. A check with the Subway employees next door indicated this is common - so have a plan B. I'll try 'em again - in five years.

Diner Review №101

Excellent! We live in Bend, and stopped here on a trip through. Nice to see a place this good in Cottage Grove! Will be back.

Diner Review №102

Best Thai around

Diner Review №103

Best pad Thai I have ever had!! Their peanut sauce is amazing!! Great portions and definitely get the fresh rolls!! And they have the boba tea too!!

Diner Review №104

Right off I 5 great price with a simple menu with seasonal specials on the whiteboard. Good thai food but food needs to be a little more spicy.

Diner Review №105

Diner Review №106

Very delicious food!!! I love it!!!

Diner Review №107

Diner Review №108

Excellent Thai food! They serve a broad menu with fresh ingredients. The friendly owner serves up hot tea immediately. I had the green curry with chicken and medium spice. The spice was just right and the meat generous. Portions are large enough to split (no charge). We like to split the entree and start with an order of fresh rolls ( salad ingredients wrapped in rice paper you dip in peanut sauce). Service was quick my order came in 10 min..My bill was $13.95 Turn east from I-5 about 1/4 mile watch for the Subway sign, they share the same building. Closed from 3 to 4 and after 8.

Diner Review №109

Diner Review №110

This is such a wonderful little Thai food place in small Cottage Grove! They have a great selection of rice, noodle, and soup dishes.

Diner Review №111

Excellent food, albeit slow service.

Diner Review №112

One of the best Thai food places I've ever been to they ran out of mangoes on one of the deserts and actually gave me both Desserts Plus my money back just out of Honor super good service we even told them to keep the money and they insisted

Diner Review №113

Absolutely the worse Thai food I ever had. The noodles were clumped up and tasted like paste.

Diner Review №114

If you like Thai this is the only place to get it in South Lane or North Douglas Counties..

Diner Review №115

Diner Review №116

Not open despite advertised hours and signs on the door during lunch hours.

Diner Review №117

Traveling from out of town found this place and I have to say AMAZING FOOD! Try the Avacado green curry

Diner Review №118

Best red curry in Lane County. Way better than the over rated places in Eugene. Delicious food everytime, they're the only ones that make it spicy enough to be called "extra hot". Crab rangoon and salad rolls are my favorite appetizers. Support a small family business 👍.

Diner Review №119

Delicious food. The portions were really large.

Diner Review №120

Delicious food. Will be back.

Diner Review №121

Yummmy

Diner Review №122

Excellent larb salad and duck was nummy. Quick friendly service!

Diner Review №123

The pad thai is very good. The portion was a very good size for the price. The generous use of tamarind makes it very refreshing. A little extra egg on the pad thai would be nice, but other than that it was great! Time between order and take out pick up was only 10 minutes.

Diner Review №124

Diner Review №125

Surprised by how good the food is at Chalerm. They share a front door with subway sandwiches, which is odd, but the freshness and quality of the food here is amazing! I highly recommend eating here!
They also have great vegetarian and vegan choices!

Diner Review №126

Diner Review №127

Diner Review №128

I really like the vegetables and rich flavors at this family run restaurant. The Thai tea is very good too.
I visit regularly. Enjoy!

Diner Review №129

Very nice staff (the owner). Odd hours (they close 3-4)
The Tai soup with coconut milk was very tasty, add the seafood, shrimp calamari mussels and scallops. Next visit I'll ask to spice it up a bit all in all, a good experience.

Diner Review №130

Such authentic, tasty food🙌 their drunken noodles are to die for... Pair that with their Thai iced tea and it's heaven.

Diner Review №131

Diner Review №137

Wowie zowie! What a phenomenal food experience. Try the duck, it's worth the price.

Diner Review №138

We have tried curry all over Lane County, and this place is our favorite !

Diner Review №139

Diner Review №140

Very cozy, laid back, made to order food. Very flavorful and well portioned (as in not huge nor too small, just right). Only booths, it's a little tight spaced, smaller scale restaurant. Service is not the fastest, so don't be in a rush. Our server, a gentleman, was very quiet but polite. You feel rather cozy, kinda like at home here. Nice place for a quiet lunch, it seems (don't know if it's always like this).

Diner Review №141

Delicious food.

Diner Review №142

In my younger years I actually dated a girl from Thailand, and not since the first time her grandmother made food for me have I had such traditional Thai food. The service is great, very comfortable atmosphere and a great selection of classic Thai treats. Especially their curry I would give this ten out of five stars if I could. If you're on the fence about it just give them a try. You won't regret it.

Diner Review №143

Authentic Thai food. This is the best kept secret in CG. Don't forget to order dessert! Mango with sticky rice, yum!

Diner Review №144

This is the best Thai food that I have ever had. The flavors are incredible, and every bite is truly amazing:) Even my boss who has been to Thailand found this place to have some of the best food she has ever had. The people who run it are also lovely. If you are in Cottage Grove this place is not to be missed.

Diner Review №145

I was surprised by the food. I had never had Thai food before. Staff is very friendly and helpful

Diner Review №146

Wow, some of the best Thai food I've had and great prices and friendly service. They even have Khao soi from Northern Thailand which I have yet to see in the US until now.

Diner Review №154

Love this family owned and operated thai restaurant. They are so nice and the food is great

Diner Review №165

Superb food, service, and portions great place to eat

Diner Review №166

Very small and very old ... Booths are green vinyl with lots of tape trying to hold the vinyl together but it didn't appear dirty ... Just old. It shares a building with Subway. Small portions with no description of what exactly is in each dish. When served we found it very bland. Price wasn't bad ... Maybe that's why portions were small. Won't go back.

Diner Review №167

Foods ok clean

Diner Review №168

Yum

Diner Review №169

Diner Review №170

My favorite place to eat in town. Great food and friendly services. Always gets our special orders correct and remembers us. Highly recommend.

Diner Review №171

I really enjoy this Thai restaurant. The food is great and the staff is very friendly. I once made a mistake on the spicy level when ordering. My order was fixed for me quickly, without any questions. They also very kindly explained how they spice their foods so I can always order how I like it best. Highly recommended!

Diner Review №184

Great food for great prices. Place is a bit on the small side but cozy.

Diner Review №185

We have always visited here each time we come to town. It was deemed our favorite restaurant in the area.
The food changed this last time, not sure what changed within the restaurant.
Good food usually, just tasted off this time.

Diner Review №186

Wow! Great food and great prices. Who'd would have guessed in this out of the way location. Awesome!

Authentic cuisine - some unique items normally not found on Thai menus

Diner Review №189

Very good food.

Diner Review №190

Diner Review №191

Diner Review №192

Nice lady running the place, but slow service because she was the only one bussing tables and it looked a bit run-down (it shared an entrance and dirty bathroom with a Subway chain store.

Despite the niggles, the food was good and they actually know what spicy means. :)

Diner Review №193

I got the peanut pad thai. Super good! Great customer service! Also their thai iced coffee is the best!

Diner Review №194

This was an unplanned stop, but my wife and I are extremely happy we did. The food is absolutely delicious. We will certainly be back.

Diner Review №195

The food is amazingly delicious! We had Fresh Rolls with Peanut Sauce for an appetizer. The Peanut Sauce was the best we've had. We had Mango Curry, Avocado Curry and Pad Thai, all with chicken, for entrees. I wasn't a mango fan, but I am now; perfect combination of flavors. The Thai Iced Tea was just right, not too sweet. And, the people are super friendly! We will definitely be back!

Diner Review №196

Spent a month.and a half in Thailand eating the most delicious food I've ever had. And while nothing can compare to food prepared in its country of origin, this comes as close to the real thing as any I've eaten. So lucky for me I live in Cottage Grove.

Diner Review №197

Food was great service was great.just wish I got more meat in my dish for the money

Diner Review №198

Diner Review №199
