Can you be a member of the clean plate club and still have some left to take home? Their mango curry is delicious and something I haven’t had before. Thai spot is so friendly and accommodating. They can make lots of things on the menu gluten free and dairy free

Rare to find a vegan larb so I was really excited. Excellent vegan choices with either tofu or soy curls for many dishes. The server offered to modify menu items to not use fish sauce. Cool and modern ambiance.

First time for us and we enjoyed the Pas See Ew- it was perfect! The fresh rolls were also a “10” however, the Pad Thai soft crab was too sweet for our taste (and too saucy) and the mango curry wasn’t very mango-y. Handicap friendly tables/booths all on flat floor.

While visiting Portland I had the opportunity to visit Rukdiew Cafe for dinner. Best Thai food I’ve ever had and I’ve sampled many places! First the decor! Soft hues of pink and purple and mossy green walls decorate the open and airy space. Whimsical orbs hang down from the ceiling! It seemed like a playful, retro vibe and I was here for it!

The food was outstanding. Beginning with the succulent, crispy pork belly to the sweet and spicy cashew nut chicken stir fry to the pad thai with steak, everything was perfectly prepared.. seasoned perfectly and using the freshest of ingredients!! Oh and did I mention the pineapple fried rice with tofu?! The best. All the dishes are colorful, vibrant and served on floral plates adding to the thoughtful presentations!

Service was quick and friendly. Always attentive and present when something was needed. Even on a busy Saturday night we didn’t feel rushed and we all had an amazing meal!

I will definitely return to the Rukdiew Cafe whenever my travels bring me back to Portland!

Excellent flavors in every single dish! The Kana Moo Kab was unexpectedly our favorite. The Chinese broccoli was cooked in an incredible sauce and paired with the pork belly, it made a veggie dish into a comfort food. The pineapple curry was also another fav, and something we haven’t seen on other Thai menus.

The atmosphere was eclectic and girly with fun music, artwork and feminine details even down to the plating.

Each dish was reasonably priced and portions were generous. I highly recommend getting a few dishes and sharing!

Ordered : chicken pad Thai, crab Rangoon, pot stickers & pad kee mao. Extremely disappointed. Food tasted stale. Pad Thai was dry. Aesthetics were cute, but too many food flies on our table.

We enjoyed a great dinner at Rukdiew! Very. Ute decor and clean atmosphere. The food was great and fairly priced unlike many of the Portland restaurants now! The service was fast and everything we ordered was fantastic. We will definitely be back!

I wanted to really like this place. The atmosphere is 10/10, super cute! They have a great menu, with a lot of options, but unfortunately the service and meals were not up to par. We were there on a Monday two weeks before Christmas and it was pretty busy. It took a long time to get our food, which I understand when it was busy, but they brought our food out all separately, and not all at once. We had a group of 5, and it took a long time for the last person to get their meal. All our food was cold by the time we got all our food. I ordered a special that I expected to be hot. The menu did not imply that the dish was more of a salad. The menu listed that the dish had shallots, but it had raw red onion. The vegetables were cold, the rice was cold, the shrimp was cold. I was pretty unhappy with my meal, and it was not enjoyable.

I really enjoyed the food. The waiter who assisted us was very nice, but was rarely anywhere to be seen. If you want more water, or to add something to your order, unless you go up to the counter you're out of luck.

Fun quirky place with good food.

Service was bad but food and atmosphere were good!

Consistently great thai food in a place with lots of competition. My favorite is the Guay Tiew Tom Yum. I get it every time I'm in town. Cocktails are always on point and unique.

Everything fantastic one of our neighborhood fans, specials fantastic main menu has many options and the cotton candy machine is fun

Amazing Thai food. Wonderful service and so cute. Don't sleep on Rukdiew.

Girlfriend and I have been there twice now because it is a little down the ways from the art studio she goes to.

She loves the pumpkin and the massaman curry. She also tried the pra ram recently and loved it. I got the pad kee mow twice now.

I think about the pad kee mow so much. I get it with the pork belly and the flat rice noodles. It's so good, and has no right to be that flavorful and delicious and perfect. I dream of pad kee mow. I want to wake up next to the pad kee mow. I want to die with this pad kee mow.

Pad kee mow.

The service is also just always amazing. Thank you. Forever and always, from the bottom of my heart.

Rare to find a vegan larb so I was really excited. Excellent vegan choices with either tofu or soy curls for many dishes. The server offered to modify menu items to not use fish sauce. Cool and modern ambiance.

Amazing experience. The food was super delicious, generous portions, and fair priced. The ambience and service was also amazing

Ehhhhhh..... I would describe the atmosphere by nasty pink. I was brought here by my girlfriend. Upon entering I proceeded to slam my head into every ornament hanging as, although I am taller than most, they were hung far too low.

The food was mid.

The bathroom was the most disgusting bathroom I've been to in recent recollection.

We order take out here often and enjoy the food. The one caveat is they get the to go order wrong, every single time. Check your order!

All around delicious! Consistent, flavourful, order spicey if you dare!
A fav of those wanting authentic Northern Thai cuisine. Good portion size, come hungry. Cute cotton candy for kiddos or big kids, afterwards.😉
Ease of parking depends on day/time

A year ago I would have given 5 stars but unfortunately my past several experiences have been very poor. I live in the neighborhood and this place was my go-to. But now, the new staff is rude, the kitchen often makes mistakes. They're rude to door dashers, and since I usually get my food to go, I get the same treatment. I just gave them one last try hoping that I just had a series of flukes but nope. At least it still looks pretty. Now my weekly order will be placed with Mai Thai up the road, they're much more consistent and polite.

Atmosphere is cold and sterile, the music is terrible and too loud and the food is truly awful. I had the worst Tom Kha I've ever tasted. Even the water had a foul taste which seemed bizarre given that Portland tap water is very good.

Used to absolutely love this place, especially the crab rangoon. Last couple months they must have changed chef or something because the food has taken a serious nose dive. Last order of red curry gave us food poisoning.

My first time trying this restaurant via Grubhub delivery. My food was delicious! Pad woon Sen portion could have been bigger bit other portions were reasonable. I wish they would add ordering notes and options for gluten free, vegan, egg free, soy free to their menu setup. I called immediately after ordering and they were able to accommodate my dietary restrictions. I loved their paper bottomed containers to reduce plastic! The rice was meh. I ordered vegetables only (no meat, no tofu) and loved the selection of veggies provided which included broccoli, green beans, zucchini, red bell pepper, cabbage, mushroom!

Stopped by for a quick dessert while I waited for an appointment and was given a tiny sliver of cheesecake that was supposed to cost 9 bucks as it stated on the menu. When given the bill, I told them the price was incorrect (they charged me $10) they said sorry and then proceeded to charge my card anyways for the wrong increased price.

Just dumbfounded by the reviews. Ordered the Spicy Eggplant. Literally not even the smallest suggestion of chile. Not even the ghost of a chile, or garlic for that matter. Completely bland and boring, as though they simply forgot to add every important spice or aromatic.

One of the best khao soi I’ve had. Definitely get it with the drum stick. The meat was melting off the bone and the broth was amazing. Service was a little slow

We have been there several times in the past years.
Some menu are delicious but not authentic as said. Imbalance between the ingredients e.g. the shrimps taste weird (all of them) they are huge but no shrimp taste. Not sure if they are soaked with soda before cooking to make they pop or from the frozen products? But others in the dish are tasty. The big thick rice noodle need to be separated. They stick together and when we tried to spoon it up. It turned out to be small pieces. (Not the first time) that’s make us can’t have an experience of Sen Yai noodle.
Overall is lovely! Still back to have foods there again!

This was an excellent dining experience. The staff are friendly and very hospitable. I had pad see ew and it was phenomenal.

First time for us and we enjoyed the Pas See Ew- it was perfect! The fresh rolls were also a “10” however, the Pad Thai soft crab was too sweet for our taste (and too saucy) and the mango curry wasn’t very mango-y. Handicap friendly tables/booths all on flat floor.

Loved the food and atmosphere! The service was great too! Also whoever picks the music does a great job! Love the vibe!

THe food was great. The service was simple and sufficient. The atmosphere is fun with lots of ornaments hanging from the ceiling. The struggle is that the ornaments hang low in the room. If you are over 6 feet tall you will hit them.

Came across this new spot and glad I did. Atmosphere was cute and quaint but a little confused on all the Christmas decor ?!?
Aside from that service was good and food was flavorful, delicious and came out quickly. I wasn’t sure on what to order so i did go with my normal go to. I’d love to be more adventurous but not to familiar with the cuisine. Hoping to come back in the fall to try the soups and curry with help from the servers on what may be the best ones to try. Over all great place and look forward to coming back

Great food with pretty fast service. Came in on Sunday lunch and was surprised at how fast food came out and how delicious everything was.

Ordered : chicken pad Thai, crab Rangoon, pot stickers & pad kee mao. Extremely disappointed. Food tasted stale. Pad Thai was dry. Aesthetics were cute, but too many food flies on our table.

Adorable and delicious!

When you walk into Rukdiew it’s like stepping out of reality, it’s bright and poppy and so welcoming. The service matches as well, our server was always coming to check at just the right time, and was very helpful for any questions and extra orders we had. So far this has been some of the best service I’ve had dining in Portland. The food was exceptional, the salad rolls are fresh and delightful, the pad Thai was perfectly seasoned. Khao soi was bursting with flavor in every bite. And the hot wings were absolutely perfect.

There was a bug in my curry and the food wasn’t comped. The crème brûlée cheesecake was not as advertised. The portions were also small for the price. Will not be returning.

Chicken Kaprow
My favorite place. I travel 22 min just to get it. it's that good.

Wonderful food, great atmosphere will certainly eat here again. Best I’ve had in Portland.

Wonderful green curry and crispy pork belly! Best flavor of green curry I've ever had. Nice quaint place and kind staff!

Excellent! I had the Pra Ram and hubby had Khao Soi, and we split order of spring rolls. All were delicious, and the Pra Ram had best peanut sauce I ever had. A beautiful little restaurant.

I love this place from the bottom of my heart. I was a little put off by the trendiness at first and questioned whether it would be good food, but it really is. The Pad Ke Mao is bomb and so saucy, the pork belly bites are divine, their curries are hella good, and it’s just the best Thai place I’ve ever been to pretty much.

Great vibe, delicious food all around. The server steered us in the right direction with fantastic menu suggestions.

While visiting Portland I had the opportunity to visit Rukdiew Cafe for dinner. Best Thai food I’ve ever had and I’ve sampled many places! First the decor! Soft hues of pink and purple and mossy green walls decorate the open and airy space. Whimsical orbs hang down from the ceiling! It seemed like a playful, retro vibe and I was here for it!

Beginning with the succulent, crispy pork belly to the sweet and spicy cashew nut chicken stir fry to the pad thai with steak, everything was perfectly prepared.. seasoned perfectly and using the freshest of ingredients!! Oh and did I mention the pineapple fried rice with tofu?! The best. All the dishes are colorful, vibrant and served on floral plates adding to the thoughtful presentations!

Service was quick and friendly. Always attentive and present when something was needed. Even on a busy Saturday night we didn’t feel rushed and we all had an amazing meal!

I will definitely return to the Rukdiew Cafe whenever my travels bring me back to Portland!

The trout dish and the soup were both delicious! My only complaint is that there was so much hard plastic that has to be thrown away.I would really like to suggest that Rukdiew switch to cardboard. The food remains hot and the cardboard can be recycled. I imagine that it might be less expensive for Rukdiew to purchase the cardboard version. Get the soup! It’s amazing.

WORST takeout I’ve ever had! I ordered the Pad Kee Mow with chicken. The noodles were all broken into small, soggy pieces and swimming in oil. I kept having to spit out chicken pieces due to tendon or skin. The only veggies were onion and cabbage, whereas there are usually peppers, tomato, and basil leaves in it. Additionally, there was an eggshell in mine. The sauce was way too sweet—nauseatingly sweet. It was a dish that you know is going to make you feel sick later. First and last time coming in. Super disappointing since this place is right next door and I was really hoping it would be good! :(

I’m actually kind of shocked to write this considering my expectations. We came in on a pretty hot day and it was so hot inside. They had one small ac which not only made it super uncomfortable for us as guests, but I can’t imagine it’s comfortable to work in that environment. Despite it being warm inside our waters were refilled once and our glasses basically stayed dry. There were 4 of us and there were a good 20 minutes between the first and last entrees coming out. 2/4 of the specials they were out of, and 2/4 of their specialty cocktails they were out of. The food was good, but not good enough to make up for the service and it being so hot inside.

AMAZING FOOD. Seriously this place is cute, affordable, and all of the food I’ve had is fantastic. Trout fried rice, yellow curry, kao Soi, all have been great.

What a great place! Ordered cod salad, one of the specials and was amazed by the freshness of ingredients, vibrant colors and crispy taste. The service is very attentive and kind. Keep it up. Can’t wait to make it our regular go to spot.

Very cute IG friendly decor, food was mid. We got pad thai - sauce is on the sweet side and pad see ew - the beef was ok on one and bad on the 2nd dish. This might be a cute date spot for drinks/photos with gfs but if you’re a thai foodie I wouldn’t recommend it

Delicious food and friendly staff. My one feedback: if it is a cultural thing I sincerely apologize, but if not, ya gotta stop putting the rock hard sprinkles on all the desserts, please.

So so so good! I will drive out of my way for just to eat here. Everything is delicious and fresh made with quality ingredients. Great ambiance and vibe with a clean interior.

I am not a complainer . But is was The worst pa Thai I've ever eaten in my life. Pasta asparagus. I can't believe it . If u order it . This is what you will get for $15 but I ended up paying $22 for Uber eats. Also the teste is terrible. Look what is on the photo on the website and look what you get .

Best Khao this side of the Mississippi hands down.

Have had the Khao Soi twice. Lights out. Love the space and atmosphere.

Anteriormente había tenido una mala experiencia pero en mi última visita todo fue perfecto, la atención de la persona america que me atendió ha mejorado muchísimo en su atención al cliente y en el servicio se que se ofrece, es bueno saber que los lugares como este mejoran todos los días en todos los sentidos desde la cuestión de los alimentos hasta la atención con los clientes

We enjoyed a great dinner at Rukdiew! Very. Ute decor and clean atmosphere. The food was great and fairly priced unlike many of the Portland restaurants now! The service was fast and everything we ordered was fantastic. We will definitely be back!

kind of a hit or miss spot

Love this spot. Great experience dining in every single time. Highly recommend. 5/5 stars.

Take out is a different story though. They got our order wrong again today. This is the sixth time they’ve messed up our take out order. When I add notes about the order, I feel they don’t read it. Quite disappointed. Won’t be ordering take out anymore.

Amazing find drove from Mt. Hood for Tai food!

Rushed service, Pad Thai was sloppy and broken. Did not like sadly. Nice interior though

Place is super cool. Nice little Portland date night spot or with kids.

In a sea of Thai food, this is my white whale. I stumbled upon this place after having a deeply offensive experience at blutos. We were asked to go to the back of the line and wait again after already waiting 20 minutes, because they had too many tickets to put our ticket in as well. It was like being hit with a flash bang of gaslighting and snubbery. This inexplicable event happened on an evening when I was entertaining friends from out of town. This proverbial slap to the face came after a long day of hiking and little food. Now hangery and nearing the dreaded hour of nine in Portland, we used what little blood sugar we had left to high tail it to the nearest establishment. We walked into rudkiew at 8:45 feeling guilty, and hastily ordered our food. They whipped that work in ten minutes flat true to Thai form. It tasted like we were transported to Thailand and it brought pure elation to our wounded hearts, and that says everything you need to know. They also gave us free spring rolls to boot just to put the cherry on top. I’ve been going back ever since and it slaps everytime.

Exquisite!

the best Thai I ever ever had in the US. seriously. not frilly but really solidly good.

Best Thai in pdx

My husband at I had our rehearsal dinner here and they were the greatest. Very friendly and accommodating! They even got us a bouquet of flowers to congratulate us. 10/10 🖤

Hard to beat Rukdiew. 🔥🤤

(4.5/5) Heard about this spot from my neighbors as their go to Thai spot. It was great! The highlight was definitely the crab rangoon. Absolute fire.

The pad see we was really good - I just thought it could have used a little more flavor. Service was solid, definitely seemed like they were a bit slammed. The restaurant itself had a really cool vibe/setup.

Beautiful cocktails and fresh ingredients make the meal here along with excellent service.

Ordered trout pad thai to go and got overly sweet noodles and bland piece of fish. I tried other dishes from coworkers and yep, too sweet. Please tone down down sugar at least 5 notches

This was REALLY good Thai food. The crab fried rice is super fresh and I got glass noodles with veggies like cabbage and broccoli and tomatoes Tom soon and it was incredible and not sweet at all.

Clean restaurant and fun atmosphere—however the food is not very good, if you like fresh quality food. My pad Thai was very, very sweet and sticky, and not very appetizing. Not the fresh, vibrant, peanuty flavors I look for in a good pad Thai. The salad rolls were okay but scant on shrimp without much cabbage or basil. Soup was okay. We won’t be coming back—there’s better food to elsewhere at a similar price. Based on reviews I expected a lot more from the food—careful with those 5 star ratings! Alas they can be so misleading on Google maps

Cute shop tasty food good prices & take out experience.... Historical Belmont district! Sexy side of town lol Gotham grub at its finest

This place is adorable and has lots of vegan options. Lots of pink and floral mismatched dishes and cute pink wallpaper. Tons of vegan options with soy curls and tofu. I highly recommend the evil jungle fried rice, the pad, see ew, and the lava noodles. They understand veganism and have soy curls and tofu.

Love the decor and atmosphere! The Khao soy with chicken drumstick is a must. It was delicious. I’ve had it twice and it’s consistent, too. I’ll be back!

Very cute, extremely delicious. Is now maked down as one of my favorites.

Enjoyed the curry. Loved the cotton candy machine. This place is great for an enjoyable Iunch.

I hadn’t been here since this location was Bangkok Kitchen. I hadn’t had any particular expectations but it turns out it’s very, very good.

Food: 8/10
Service: 8/10
Vibes: 7/10
Recommendation Level: 8/10

2nd time getting delivery from here and both times were amazing. Packaged very well and arrived hot! This time I got the khao soi w the chicken drumstick and it is my favorite so far. Other standouts are the fried rices and crab rangoon. Thanks Rukdiew Cafe

Good food! Great atmosphere. And they have a cotton candy machine!!
Definetly recommend it

chu chee trout is one of the best thai dishes i’ve had in portland

Good quality food. Authentic Thai.
Staff was great and atmosphere was fun.

This is some of the best Thai food we've had in a while! The flavors were so rich and delicious. The sauce in the Hot Meat Trio was fantastic!

I ordered medium spice on a noodle dish and it was way too spicy and they refused to remake it or fix it. I left and ate somewhere else.

Also, my fresh spring roll had a plastic piece inside of the roll ):

Great curries, pad thai, tofu fresh rolls, and pad se ew! My office orders from here almost monthly : )

Love the atmosphere and the food is great.

Placed a to-go order on a Monday night online and received a confirmation email about the order. Upon arriving, I was told my order was cancelled and they were closed. According to their hours, they were still open. I didn’t receive a cancellation email and they refused to show proof. Days later, it turns out I was charged for the food I didn’t get. Super disappointing customer service

Our one night in Portland our friends took us here because they've been waiting to go. Amazing food and service! Seriously, all 4 of us couldn't believe how good everything was. I'm looking forward to going back next time we're in town.

Absolutely adore Rukdiew. Our favorite Thai in Portland! We typically do takeout, so I can't speak much to the in-restaurant experience, but service is always fast and food is always great.

Great food and drinks! Super cute atmosphere. You can also make you’re own cotton candy!

This place slaps. Great beverages, and wonderful food. Plenty of gluten free options

I ordered takeout. I have no idea why the reviews are so good on here - our food was highly disappointing. Everything was overcooked, mushy, and bland! The pad se ew was good but again, over cooked noodles to the point it became mush and bland. The only item we loved were the crab rangoons. Maybe don’t order on a sunday? For the price and reviews it should have been exceeded our expectations and it fell VERY far from that. Will not be ordering again unfortunately.

Goes to 5 , but really is a 5.5, exceed all expectations. I can't even explain the so many different flavors, and the taste of the food is just amazing.. I had placed a few pictures .. came with family for a celebration .. I'm glad I came .. I'm glad I was able to taste so much good food

I have only ever gotten take out and delivery, but I absolutely adored the vibe when I went in to pick up my order. The food is AMAZING. Order the crab puffs and the boat noodles and trout pad Thai. You will not be disappointed. Hands down best Thai food in Portland!

This last time I ordered the Tom Kha with steamed veggies and it was very tasty.

This is a wonderful place to go. The food is fantastic and the decorations are amazing! Great place to get together with friends.

Instagramable indeed!! However, I didn’t enjoy the food

Food is amazing and service even better. It gets busy so dishes may take a few minutes longer than you expect but it's worth it. Very much a place to eat and relax

Very interesting and comfortable space, service was great and food was good to excellent. My favorites were the green papaya salad and the stir fried eggplant, red pepper, onion, and basil leaves with the addition of pork belly. I'll be back frequently.

Really excellent Thai restaurant. Everybody enjoyed their meals. Khao Soi, Hot Meat Combo, Yellow Curry. All fantastic. My mom said the coconut shrimp was the best she'd ever had! Great place. Well be sure to visit again next time.

Everything I tried I would rate as very good to excellent compared with other Thai restaurants I have been in.

The vibe here is amazing. Service was a little negligent at times. Food here is really salty and does not taste authentic. But the interior decor is so cute and well designed.

What a very cute and delicious little spot. Got the special and it was fricken yes. We both had enough for a second meal with our take away. I'm glad we accidentally missed the exit for our first pick for dinner tonight and found Rukdiew. 11/10, will come back again 💕 app/main & drinks for 2 was $60 after tip

This is my go-to Thai spot in PDX! I have been here over a dozen times while choosing something new each time and have been amazed at the food quality! 🥘 Lava Noodles, Pineapple Fried Rice, Guay Tiew Tom Yum, Pad Kee Mao, Pad Thai, Pad See Ew, Crab Puffs, and the cocktails are a plus! 🍹 I have brought several friends here too and they're always amazed by the decorative and lively atmosphere, a great place to be any time you're hungry! 🍜

Large menu, cute dining room.

Unfortunately the restaurant was not prepared for lunch service on our visit. We waited too long for service. "I'm sorry we're out of the dish you ordered" several minutes after ordering. Waited too long for the food to arrive. Then, everything ended up being so-so. Flavors were over-salted, but somehow still bland. Where was the spice tray? Where was the server? Then came the long wait for the check.

All of this could be solved by adding another server or two, having a more organized staff, and a little training.

With all the other great Thai places nearby, we probably won't be back to Rukdiew any time soon.

If you're looking for a fun spot to grab some Thai I'd recommend this place! The atmosphere is nothing like I've been to before for a restaurant, it kind of felt like a bar 🤣
It was bright, fun and so delicious!
I got the egg rolls cause I literally can't resist them if they are on a menu. The yellow curry, some wings and of course the creamy coconut margarita! I would recommend all of those!
I look forward to my next visit here.
Cheers 🥂

I’ll update experience later.

Trout Pad Thai was PHENOMENAL!

Best Thai food I've have in a long time. Portions were fantastic and the cocktails were all unique with not a single miss. Been back 3 times since I found out about it and have left happy every time. Only risk is parking is pretty limited, so you might have to drive around for a bit. But it's worth it

Ordered family style with two friends and everything was packed with flavor. And the decor is so cute. Also love how affordable it is for the level of yum.

The food is delicious fresh and healthy. The drinks are great, and everyone is friendly and kind. Third time visiting, love this place!

This place is a vibe! Plus, the food is excellent. I had the lava noodles with chicken and had no regrets. Medium spice, so noticeable but not painful. Really good.

Just found this dope Thai spot in SE portland. The ambiance inside was amazing and service was great. The food itself was delicious and it reminded me of the the time I spend in Thailand. Definitely gonna be a future go to spot.

My new favorite Thai spot! The portions were huge and the pad thai was great. Fast service and there was even a cotton candy machine. Super fun night

This place is amazing. We came on a Tuesday night and the vibe was very high energy. The service was perfect and food was even better!

This is a fun family friendly place for lunch or dinner. Standard Thai fare that is fresh and flavorful. My only criticism is that our server didn't ask about spice level so the dish was a little bland. For our second dish we asked for it medium spicy and it leaned more to a bit too spicy. Service was excellent and staff were friendly without being overly solicitous. Great decor. I will definitely be a repeat customer.

The restaurant is the definition of instagram friendly. The atmosphere is cute and quirky, but when it comes to the food it doesn’t quite deliver the punch. The menu is extensive and it can be difficult to sift through. A shorter, more curated menu would go a long way. The lava noodle dish was an interesting concept but didn’t total work for me. The cherry blossom beverages were great however.

On Point 🌻

Rukdiew has quickly become my go-to Thai restaurant in SE. The food is delicious and the staff is super friendly!!

Soft Shell Crab Pad Thai and Cotton Candy Cocktails!

Used to come here when it was Kala Noodle and the updated design is so cute! Today was my first time coming here as Rukdiew Cafe but it was as delicious as ever. The vibes are great. The food is even greater. This is still my favorite Thai food in Portland.

I've been here twice now, outstanding Thai food with a big portion of lava shrimp with noodles, so I brought home and ate the next day too.

We got trout fried rice, a veggie dish, and fresh rolls. Everything was super fresh, fast and flavorful. Decor was cool, staff was super duper nice. We will be back.

! : Bathrooms are super weird and not well taken care of.

Super cute decor, amazing food!

I never Rate a 5 star, but the food is so delicious and fresh. I will definitely be ordering from here again!

Every time I visit a Thai restaurant, I always order a spicy basil chicken (pad ka prow).
This dish is super simple, but I’d say only a few Thai place in Portland have it at my standard. They will put random bell peppers, carrots, green beans or sometime corn in it which was so disappoi

Anyway, rukdiew cafe has the best pad kaprow in town in my opinion. They use real holy basil, no bell peppers, carrots, chopped yellow onions or other random vegetables in. Just a simple dish that hits the spot everytime. Try challenging yourself by order it with a Thai spice level.

Also, the decor is fun, the staff is always so nice and attentive. I enjoyed my experience every time. Have fun dining!

I got the pumpkin curry, beef boat noodle, and crab rangoons, and all of it was delicious. I would definitely order here again.

Came after work to eat with a few coworkers and the place is so cute. The drinks were cute too and the food was really good. I ordered the pad khee mao and asked for it really spicy and they definitely delivered in that. The staff were friendly and the wait for food wasn’t too long. Definitely would go again. A lovely place with lovely food and vibes. They also have a bar to order drinks from if you just wanted to come in for drinks. They also have a cotton candy machine which I hear they make some from time to time.

The decor and drinks get five stars. The drink special I got was delicious with a super fun presentation and the decor is so sweet. But speaking of sweet...The food gets 2 stars. I got the soft shell crab pad Thai and the major flavor was sweetness, and the consensus at the table was that all of our entrees were way too sweet. I now see that I'm not the only patron with this complaint. I would go back to give them another shot on dinner but it might be the kind of place you just get drinks and apps and enjoy the adorable ambiance.

This place is usually pretty decent occasionally, but this time was terrible. We ordered the hot wings, which were fine, but our main dishes were absolutely wrong. We ordered the radnah and it tasted gloopy, like it was almost all flour. The meat was all fat, and poorly cut. Not only did it taste just of flour, it had no flavor at all that resembled a good radnah. We also ordered the pad se ew mild, but it was clearly spicy. Service was extremely slow, and we felt ignored. We understand it can get busy, but that is something you should prepare for. We waited for the food for quite a long time and not once did we get our drinks refilled, or even checked up on until we had to get one of the servers attention that our food was too spicy. It’s a cute place, but disappointing food and service. Spend more time on making the dining experience tastier, than just on the appearance.

Definitely a winner and my new fave Thai spot in town! The ambience is bright, clean and cute, the and the staff were friendly and attentive.

The crab rangoons were packed full of fresh crab meat which is a rarity with this app. The filling was overall flavorful and with the chili sauce, I could eat these over and over.

I’ve had variations of khao soi many times in the past, never so eloquently executed as here at Rukdiew. The crunchy noodle wall made a fun backdrop and paired so well with the perfectly cooked chicken and peanut sauce, not to mention the rice noodles with such a fun bouncy texture.

If you haven’t been here and enjoy Thai food, move this one up your priority list stat! 😉

Rukdiew rules! So good!

Rukdiew is my favorite Thai Food in Portland! Such a quaint place! Pink, blue & yellow! The food is so good I didn’t think of taking pictures of it! We had the salad rolls…so so fresh! The crab rangoon are some of the tastiest I’ve ever had! Excellent PadThai! We shared everything, and were stuffed! $34 before tip!

Nice menu, cheerful decor, good service. I'd call it bustling - good energy. I've been twice and will likely return. A solid choice for Thai food.

This place has been on my “want to go” list for a bit. Literally did not disappoint. Their khao soi and lava noods were delicious. We will definitely be back to try more items on their menu!

Perfect comfort food. The veggie thom kha gai and creme brûlée cheesecake were beautifully presented and delectable. The creamy pink walls and ceiling of sparkly constellations made me feel like we were dining on a magical moon at the end of the universe.

1st time here. Very good. Had the phad thai because could not have spicy this time. Is ok, there will be MORE!
After next visit I will reevaluate post. I suspect it will be all 5's then. Looking forward to returning.

Such a cute atmosphere & their food is amazing. The crab Rangoon & mango curry is my go to! (This picture was from my to-go order @ home)
