Diner Review №1

The owner is super chill and talented! She is very good cook and passionate about her work. Food is wonderful and tasty! I bet the best Thai food in Portland. I would recommend to everyone who wants authentic Thai food.

Diner Review №2

I got the tofu pad Thai which was $18!!!! That’s insane!!! It didn’t taste like anything special and certainly not the quality of Thai peacock (which is only $14). Very mid, small portion, will not be going again. I’ve heard others like it though.

Diner Review №3

The atmosphere of this restaurant is so warm and cozy! The food was amazing as well. I got the pad thai and it was so flavorful and had the perfect amount of crunch. However, the mango sticky rice is a game changer. I have thought about this mango sticky rice consistently since eating it and I would spend my entire paycheck on it if that were not unreasonable.

Diner Review №4

i live nearby and go here often. both takeout and dine-in, always hits

Diner Review №5

I love this place!! I never thought I would eat tofu but their deep fried tofu with peanut sauce is amazing!! The Pad Thai I always order is on point. This restaurant has been my go to for over 8 years.

Diner Review №6

Servers are super nice and quick. Food is delicious and portions are generous. We come here often.

This place is right on campus. I went there with my Korean friend. We ordered Thai pineapple fried rice, curries, and some Tom kha soup.

Update 2024, 5 stars:
Absolutely amazing panang curry, some of the best I've had. Also had the appetizer sampler and tom yum soup. Very friendly staff - thanks for the extra sauce!

Original 2018 review, 4 stars:
Decent food but not as flavorful or varied as most Thai restaurants. Very quick friendly service!

Diner Review №13

Diner Review №14

The food we had was not good. However, the rolls were good.The chicken was dry and over cooked. The cucumber was hot. The homeless and drug activities was terrible. Drug needles all over.

Diner Review №15

havent had good thai food since i moved here a few months ago. im lao and from salt lake city where theres an abundance of lao/thai/viet spots. this hits ALL the buttons, albiet pricy for a 20-something teenager like myself.

Diner Review №16

Everything was delicous, and the owner was so nice!!

Diner Review №17

Staff was friendly, food was good. You have to pay for street parking.

Diner Review №18

I had the mango curry/coconut over jasmine rice and it was delicious! The waitress made sure I had plenty of water because it was a little on the spicy side. Just how i like it! My sister and I declare this our new favorite spot ❤️ Thank you Thai Chili Jam!

Everything about this place is amazing.

The women who were working are very friendly, sweet and charismatic.

The food is DELICIOUS!

Been a while since I ate and left no crumbs.

Diner Review №23

Definitely getting thailand vibes here. Food is great as well.

Diner Review №24

We never miss a moment to try a new Thai restaurant. We found one walking distance to our hotel. First off, we placed an order for take out and it was a friendly encounter over the phone. Really quick turn around. It’s always nice to experience how various spots make their version of fried rice. It’s one of our go to dish and it was delicious. We also placed and order of lobster balls and a seafood panang curry, which was creamy and flavorful. Food was amazing, so much so that we forgot to take pictures before we plate them. Decent portions and reasonably priced.

Diner Review №25

I’m from out of town and this place was absolutely amazing! The service, the food and the atmosphere was fantastic. The owner was extremely friendly. Definitely check this place out.

Diner Review №26

Diner Review №27

Went here the other night for the first time in a while, for dinner. I was warmly greeted upon entry and directed to seating. Excellent vibes and nice decor. We ordered the appetizer combo and chicken satay to start. I had the evil jungle noodle medium spicy. It was as delicious as I remember. One of my friends had the tom yum with shrimp and said they were very pleased with it. Good prices for downtown and generous portions. Great service! Definitely recommend this place! Parking can be tricky as it sits on a busy corner of 2 one-way streets, but if you dont mind walking a block or 2, youll be fine.

Diner Review №28

Very nice salad rolls. Good service.

Diner Review №29

What a delightful staff! The food was amazing. The sampler plate was a great starter. I love the pot sticker and the fried tofu. I got the lemongrass chicken and it was very tasty. The best ending was the mango sticky rice. Omgosh!!!! I need more

Diner Review №30

Amazing!! Pineapple red curry is life changing.

Diner Review №31

Added a tip themselves to my order. I will not be going back. I was also lied to when ordering that the portions were big, I paid 18 dollars technically now 20$ for w regular sized portion of pad see ew.

Diner Review №35

I really enjoyed the food here!.If your like me and you like spicy, get medium! It was spicy but still flavorful. Most of all the customer service was great! I believe the owner came out to give me my food, greet me, and asked me if I was from the neighborhood. She was genuinely kind! Good people!

I have been coming here to eat for 10 years now and its still my favorite pad thai in oregon. The owner is a sweetheart and the food is always full of flavor .

Diner Review №40

Diner Review №41

Food was average.

Diner Review №42

I live nearby and this is my favorite restaurant. They also have a full bar and decent boba. I love the Pineapple Red Curry and my hubby likes the Yellow Curry. We have gotten takeout, and Dine in. We are so close the delivery isn’t worth it. It’s so good I keep forgetting to stop and take pictures before I dive right in!

Diner Review №43

OMG. 10 of us go there at 830p. Sunday night. We let the ladies running the restaurant how many in party. They quickly put tables together. They do separate checks. The head lady was so friendly and service was phenomenal. Food came out fast. Delicious. Great prices. Their dessert are delicious. Their receipts has a QR code, where you can pay at the table. SWEET! Head lady informed us where we can park. This place went beyond fabulous customer service. We told her. We will be back next Sunday. I highly highly recommend this restaurant!!

Delicious, prompt food. Kind, attentive service. Creative l, cozy atmosphere.

Diner Review №46

"Visited Thai Chilli Jam with my family and had a fantastic experience. The food was truly delicious, and the service was amazing. A must-try for anyone seeking a delightful dining experience!"

Diner Review №47

I got take out here for the second time and the food was delectable! I ordered the red pineapple curry and my partner got the crab fried rice. We are both extremely picky about food and they were so kind about modifications. I absolutely love this place and the people that work there. If I could I would eat here at least a few times a week but I'm poor so, most my money goes rent! Haha, but yeah, I highly recommend this place!

Diner Review №48

I forgot to take a picture of the food, but it was really good. It was good the first time I came and it was good the second time! I’ll have to take a photo next time. I had the pineapple red curry and it was super good. Portion size is great too.

Diner Review №51

These folks calling their food "basic" is really selling themselves short; all their food is incredible! I was here for the first time in a number of years with my aunt and cousin the other day and had forgotten how good the food is! I used to come here all the time when I was houseless before covid and ever had a little extra money because Outside In is right next door, and they're so nice to everybody. When I went with my aunt and cousin the other day, we had ordered takeout but ended up eating there and they were so accommodating and so nice. They gave us plates to share the food, and water, and silverware. It seems like whether you're houseless ordering a single entree of pad Thai or you have a $70 tab of food for four people, they treat you the same 🥰

Diner Review №52

Real Thai food, the yellow curry tasted so good, not so creamy just right amount of coconut milk, still curry tasty, with lots of chicken.
Food portion is big. Good price consider it is located in downtown. Worth the price.

Diner Review №53

The yellow curry was great

Diner Review №54

Food was fantastic! Friendly staff too

Diner Review №55

This place is amazing, but just get that out-of-the-way right away! Everyone knows where it’s at, if you’ve ever been in Portland heading out of town, on Southwest Clay, it’s the Thai restaurant right on the edge of town as you get on the ramp. Cute little place, owned by a woman named Jam; Hence the name. The whole menu is all her, and she has a specialty dish called the, well appropriately named Thai chili jam specialty dish, which is what she makes for her husband because it’s his favorite dish, and I personally also highly recommend it… so good! I’ve been coming there for years, and it’s Jams food that made me fall in love with Thai chili’s. Do yourself a favor, and check this place out.

Diner Review №56

DELICIOUS

Diner Review №57

Diner Review №58

Diner Review №59

The mango sticky rice desert is stunningly good!

This is my favorite Thai restaurant period. The food is of course delicious, and always steaming hot when I arrive to get takeout.

Eat here, you will not be disappointed in the least!

Diner Review №60

Very good food and excellent service.

Diner Review №61

Diner Review №62

The Thai Chili Jam Specialty Curry (C6) was so tasty! Tried this restaurant for the first time tonight and we loved it.

Diner Review №63

Diner Review №64

Stopped by for a couple of appetizers and ordered fried wontons and “Oh my god”. Both were fried, so a little heavy but delicious. Service was great and the atoms-here was cute.

Diner Review №65

Friendly waitstaff. Quick service. Food was great!

Diner Review №66

😋😉

Diner Review №67

Food was delicious. Tai tea some of the best I've had.

Diner Review №68

Absolutely delicious, incredibly kind staff, and very fast!
I ordered the Pa Nang Salmon, which came with rice and a variety of veggies. Food was very good and a large portion, would easily feed two people. Great calm atmosphere with lot of plants. Will be coming back again very soon!

Diner Review №69

Everything was so good! And the Thai beer was great

Diner Review №70

Everything was amazing: salad rolls,Breen curry and Kai soi.

Diner Review №71

Great food and a very pleasant staff. The location is within walking distance of so many places.
Nice view of the north west side of the city if you get a window seat.
If it wasn't for the congested area, the place would probably be packed all the time.

Diner Review №72

Pretty good Thai spot.

Diner Review №73

You can never really go wrong with Thai food. I’ve been to a couple of Thai restaurants in the city and they’re all great but this crab fried rice that I got was the BEST. I love fried rice and seafood! Can’t stop thinking about it. So delicious. Definitely recommend it! My husband really enjoyed what he ordered as well (forgot the name of it tho)

Overall, will definitely come back. The service was awesome too.

Diner Review №74

Pad thai here is very nice, specially the tofu oad thai.

Diner Review №75

This is the worst/blandest Thai food I have ever tasted. I definitely feel like they cater to palm colored taste buds. There is barely any flavor other than oil, and the items labeled "SPICY" have had zero spice.

Diner Review №76

Captain America eats here, so it must be good, right? Seriously though, we like the place.

Diner Review №77

Great experience with delivery. Happy to support this business during these trying times ;)

Diner Review №78

Diner Review №79

Diner Review №80

Green and red curry at lunch were good. I prefer more spice though so ask for higher than medium if you like the burn.

Diner Review №81

Diner Review №82

Nice food, appropriately spicy. Their front doors are plywood, though, which is a blight on the neighborhood & unnecessary. ☹️

Diner Review №83

Food was delicious. We made all orders vegan and none of them were disappointing. Definitely recommend this place. The guava candy served when paying the check was delicious too.

Diner Review №84

Super authentic Thai food and the best green curry ever!

Diner Review №85

Incredibly tasty! Menu had all the prices blocked out, but probably to help cost. Food is so worth it. Excellent curry, and chicken.

Diner Review №86

Good place to have Thai food when in the west side of the downtown Portland neighborhood. We had the crispy egg rolls, son in law eggs (what a name!), Khao soy, massaman curry, Panang Curry and pad Thai. All in all, the food was very good. Decent portions, reasonably priced, fairly quick turnaround time and delicious food. I would definitely go back just for the Khao soy which was really really good. The only reason I'm dropping a star in the rating is coz of the service. The lady who served us messed up / forgot our order twice - once during the two starters we ordered and once during the entrees. And what made it more frustrating is that there was nobody else in the restaurant but our group, and so it wasn't like she had other tables to cater to. Next time we might just do take out or delivery. The lack in service is made up in some sorts by the excellent taste is everything we had today.

Diner Review №89

Little gem in Portland. Great food good prices, loved the decor and atmosphere. Service was great 👍 will definitely become one of our go to thai places!

Diner Review №90

Food is great - huge portions, comes out super fast and the food is very flavorful. I loved the khao soy with tofu- better than any I’ve had in Portland! Service is direct and simple. Idk why folks are complaining, I definitely recommend coming here for a meal.

Diner Review №91

Diner Review №92

The food tasted stale and lacked the flavour I expected.

Diner Review №93

First and last time coming here attempted to order online and pick up but they were closed before I got there. Even though on here it says there open till 10pm. Called the next two days in a row to try to get a refund. They tried to say it was my fault and not give me a refund on the first day attempt said they’d call back to sort it out but never did. Online customer service is horrible will never come here again.

Diner Review №94

Like totally awesome!

Diner Review №95

Amazing food and service! Really enjoyed the Shrimp Pad Thai and Thai salad rolls

Diner Review №96

Incredible green curry! Maybe the best I've had around town

Diner Review №97

Great Thai restaurant offering a variety of styles from the region. Comfortable location with friendly service! Love both the curry and noodle dishes. If you want hot they can get you there.

Diner Review №98

Amazing find! Had the house specials- house curry and the salmon. Also tried the pad eggplant. All were amazing, service was excellent, and very happy with the food!

Diner Review №99

The food was very tasty and well apportioned. good level of spice, very accommodating to vegetarians. Food was quick and table service attentive. Unfortunately the atmosphere leaves something to be desired, but I think it's largely to do with the trouble Portland has had with street crime (i.e. boarded up front door, graphitti ). Definitely they are trying and a very good takeout.

Diner Review №100

El agua que te dan tiene mal sabor imaginate la preparacion y las bebidas que hacen con agua comidad y lavan los traste nnnnaaaaaa mala experiencia 🤑🤑🤑

Diner Review №101

We call in an order at least every other week. Always great food.

Diner Review №102

El agua 💦 que dan. Huela a agua de drenajes. Sabe muy mala. 😒😒para no volver jamás.

Diner Review №103

Food was quick and it was great, veggies fresh and crunchy as they should be. Maybe a little pricier than some places.

Diner Review №104

Diner Review №105

Service was great but the food is quite bland.

Diner Review №106

Diner Review №107

Diner Review №108

Delicious fast Thai food! My order was ready in about 10 minutes. The veggies were fresh and crisp. I had the rad nah with tofu as my entree and the savory gravy sauce that went over the noodles was so tasty. I can’t wait to try more of there noodle dishes. So many great options for a vegetarian/vegan too!

Diner Review №109

this was some of THE BEST thai food i’ve ever had. i ordered the yellow curry, with medium spice, & it was perfect. it was actually spicy & flavourful. my boyfriend got the pineapple chicken fried rice & he devoured it ! 10/10 best place.

Diner Review №110

The food was delicious and the service was friendly and attentive. They were easily able to make the dish I ordered vegan, I ordered the pad eggplant with tofu and it was so tasty and filling. The restaurant had a very relaxing ambience as well. Would definitely come back if I'm ever in the area again!

Diner Review №111

Diner Review №112

Bet the food is good. Didn't get to try it cause of the terrible in-house service. Won't be back.

Diner Review №113

very good food , its appearance and location is not very good, I will return however.

Diner Review №114

I stopped in here on a whim when visiting Portland. Pad Thai was out of this world. Other customers were also discussing how good their food was too! Highly recommend. The two women working were so kind! Super reasonably priced too.

Diner Review №115

Had a good yellow and green curry.

Diner Review №116

pumpkin curry with mixed seafood, duck fried rice and shrimp skewers, thank me later

Diner Review №117

Good food but need to get their machines in working order (didn't take credit card)

Diner Review №118

Rude staff

Diner Review №119

Unbelievable cashew nut chicken! Super tasty, great portion, not greasy or heavy… wow!!

Diner Review №120

Diner Review №121

Don't use spot on, the spice levels are impossible to read. They don't say what they are.
Otherwise food is good, just extremely spicy.

Diner Review №122

Great food and service! Love the spice too !

Diner Review №123

I go here frequently and love to get my regular favorites: potstickers and salad rolls with tofu. The peanut sauce is really good! The workers are friendly and will remember you if you go often enough. ;) Online ordering is easy.

Diner Review №124

I really enjoyed this joint! Drunken Noodles w Shrimp!

Diner Review №125

This restaurant is too spicy - even when you ask for mild it comes eye watering and lip burning hot. They also never listen when you say no rice please and give you rice on every order. They need to be more attentive to customer requests.

Diner Review №126

Great tasting food and amazing service. They always made sure we had water & the food was delicious.

Diner Review №127

Yummmmmyy seriously

Diner Review №128

The Special Salmon Penang,
is like wow, ____ dang.
This place is good!!!!

Diner Review №129

Nice people making some pretty good food. So far I've found it's either hit or miss on the items. The Oh My Good is delicious. The bbq chicken is not as good as others I've tried, but it's reliable and cooked correctly. Sadly, I don't recommend the Pad Thai, the flavor is ok, but the texture is a little mushy... Although when I've fried up the leftovers at home, that works well. I've heard good things about the curries.

Diner Review №130

Love the service & customer service

Diner Review №131

Worst Thai food I have ever ordered. I asked for very spicy and everything I received was bland. I had to add lime, fish sauce, and pepper to my food, at which point I felt like I might as well have just made my own dinner. In a city with a ton of Thai options, I am making it a point to remember this place so I never order here again. Thai food is supposed to be flavorful and pack a punch, but I've had chicken nuggets with more kick than the food they prepared for me. One star is the lowest I can give and feels generous.

Diner Review №132

Have had takeout here 2x. Today tried the mango+sticky rice. Pretty good.

Diner Review №133

Diner Review №134

Diner Review №135

Amazing food. The best thai food ive ever eaten. The squid chili jam is the best thing on the menu for sure i would definitely recommend it!

Diner Review №136

Diner Review №137

Good dinner, fast service.

Diner Review №138

Amazing food

Diner Review №139

Oh wow, this place is really good. I probably haven't had Thai food in a while, the green curry was amazing. It was spicy, but nothing I couldn't handle. I most definitely will be back, absolutely loved it! (Oh I was too hungry to take a photo of the dish and thought of it when I was like halfway through...)

Diner Review №140

Very good food, Pai Tai is yummy!

Diner Review №141

Decent food, very friendly staff :)

Diner Review №142

Good vibes everyone was so sweet and helpful. Food was super good love and recommend always

Diner Review №143

Such yummy food - we ordered many dishes and loved all of them! Service was great and the owner was very nice. Will be coming back soon!!

Diner Review №144

Diner Review №145

Diner Review №146

Diner Review №147

Quick, friendly service, with an inexpensive, varied menu. Easy to navigate menu, customizable in terms of spice level or to make vegetarian & vegan accomodations; portions are fair (we ordered for a family style meal & had plenty). Easy parking is a bonus.

Diner Review №148

Great atmosphere and wonderful food. Service was friendly but sparse which is why I rated 4 stars. I had the Kao Soy and my wife tried the Tom Kha soup. Both were very good. We had the lobster balls as a appetizer and it wouldn't recommend those as they were a bit mushy and cold. I'm writing this review cuz I wait for mango sticky rice which I suspect will be wonderful based on our main dishes.

Diner Review №149

Rude staff.

Diner Review №150

Great stuff. They've been here forever, and I think it's fair to say they'd have closed shop a long time ago if they weren't up to the job.

Diner Review №151

Diner Review №152

Enjoyable dinner, kind service, reasonably priced. Will be back a lot! I'm new to the neighborhood, and both visits have been great.

Diner Review №153

Diner Review №154

This was my first time here and this place was amazing. The food was very fulfilling and tasty. I don’t eat Thai food too often but this place gave me a reason to eat Thai more. Moreover, they really take price in their customers and we were served our food in a timely manner. Overall this was a great restaurant and lastly, the ticket was a reasonable price for all the things we were served. Thank You Thai Chili Jam

Diner Review №155

Diner Review №156

I doordash. I'm pregnant and they won't let me use a restroom. Just a simple thing and no need to not help a driver thats helping them get business.

Diner Review №157

Terrible, terrible service. Was lied to by the server and told my food would be ready in a minute after arriving to pickup a to-go order. I left after waiting 20 minutes. No explanation from the server why my food was so late. The food was supposed to be ready when I arrived, but it seemed like they hadn't even started it yet. Poor customer service.

Diner Review №158

Got takeout to the hotel. The yellow curry blew my mind, as did the egg rolls. Super delicious, very reasonably priced, and FAST. Will definitely hit this place again before I leave Portland.

Diner Review №159

Diner Review №160

Service was quick and the food we ordered tasted good.

Diner Review №161

Food was good but be sure to check your order.

Diner Review №162

The food and service was excellent. Large portions and great flavor. Would recommend to everyone.

Diner Review №163

This was the worst meal I've ever had, I actually stopped halfway through and took it to the trash. We ordered Chicken Pad Thai & Shrimp Pad See Ew and they were both extremely oily and flavorless. The Pad Thai looked like pink vomit and smelled like fish sauce. I also asked for basil and cilantro to be added to the Pad See Ew and it was not, it also only had 6 tiny shrimp included. I would give this a zero star rating if I was allowed.

Diner Review №164

Diner Review №165

Yellow curry over jasmine rice was delicious.

Diner Review №166

This is my favorite Thai place

Diner Review №167

The interior was so so cozy, it was unlike any I had ever been inside of. Their service was INCREDIBLY fast and friendly. Not to mention the flavor of their food was very unique. I had the Tom Kha, it was an extremely light dish, made me wanna keep eating forever.

Diner Review №168

Unbelievable starting with Coconut smoothie was less than 10oz yet the charge of $5.50 is excessive. Yellow curry Chicken was mainly potatoes and onions we couldn’t find much chicken in the whole entree so if you like potatoes lots of them too many onions and a whole lot of carrots then it might as well be a vegetarian dish?? Oh and Don’t order the Thai BBQ chicken again excessively priced for 2 legs and 1 thigh for $13.99 and it was horrific the preparation must have been 2 days ago because the chicken looked dark but not from a BBQ rather looked like it was cooked 2 days ago then left out in an open container on a counter top…… I attempted to eat it tough not dry the Worst I’ve Ever had in any Thai restaurant that I’ve been the. generally when ordering Thai BBQ chicken they serve 1/2 of a chicken. Even the steam rice was unbelievably poor!!!! These owners should try the Thai PK on SW Macadam Ave. in the John’s landing area of Portland to experience excellent Thai cuisine. Do your self a favor take your cooks out to see what a real Thai restaurant with authentic and tastefully prepared Thai dishes should look and taste like
Unhappily recipient of poorly executed and over priced so called Thai at the Thai chili jam restaurant

Diner Review №169

Come here for Thai food with deep flavor and huge servings. We got the yellow curry (spice level 3) and pad thai (naturally). We still had a ton of pad thai left over. The curry comes with white rice cooked to perfection.
Definitely coming back next time we are visiting Portland.

Diner Review №170

Diner Review №171

Excellent selection and customer service the Curry is delicious and will absolutely light up your taste buds. What a great experience.

Diner Review №172

Diner Review №173

Very mediocre Thai food. The noodle plates lacked flavor completely. The only good thing that I tried was the mango sticky rice. Anyone on here saying this is the best they’ve had had probably never been to Seattle. Still trying to find good Thai food in the area...
UPDATE: my rice ended up having literal pieces of sticks in it. Don’t eat here.

Diner Review №174

Our go-to Thai. Their rad narh noodles have that wonderful smokey-wok flavor with a delicious sweet soy gravy that we could eat all by it's lonesome. Our most-always-order addiction, however, is their kao soi, a northern thai curry noodle soup specialty with pickled lettuce, mung bean sprouts and crispy noodles. The specially spiced coconut milk curry soup is the star in this dish. Continues to stun with its depth of flavor. Ultra bonus: VERY fast delivery. We're about a mile away and our average wait time is 20 min., ordered to door.

Diner Review №175

Diner Review №176

Have been ordering here since I moved to this neighborhood (4 years ago) and I am never disappointed! Favorite dishes are the yellow curry, pineapple fried rice, and pad khee mao! I love supporting this business!

Diner Review №177

So far this is easily my favorite Thai place!
The massaman curry is killer. Definitely the best one I've tried in Portland so far, of about 4-5 different places.
The potstickers are delish too!

Diner Review №178

Probably the best takeout thai restaurant in town.

The only complaint I had with their food was the lack of vegetables in their curry. Otherwise the food was great.

Diner Review №179

good food :-)

Diner Review №180

They were doing there tax returns when I was there, awkward

Diner Review №181

Diner Review №182

Diner Review №183

Ordered green curry with chicken and eggplant with tofu. The curry was decent, but the eggplant was covered in oil and too greasy to eat.

Diner Review №184

Amazing service and super delicious food! Always love coming back to this restaurant whenever I am in Portland. Highly recommend eating at Thai Chili Jam!

Diner Review №185

overall it was okay, but they NEED to get list cilantro in their ingredients. my order was covered in it and it was not listed in the description. they also got my order wrong and put chicken instead of tofu. the sticky rice was very good, would reorder this but nothing else from them and we spent almost over $100

Diner Review №186

Rarely share reviews but all of the other reviews looked pretty positive. Crazy conditions in Portland is why it's a two star rather than one star. Tried the OH my God, Potstickers and pan fried noodles in the Rad Narh. Only the potstickers were eaten. Food showed up promptly for delivery but the fried food was soggy and barely cooked. The noodles had no flavor and were closer to rubber. Very disappointed and still very hungry.

Diner Review №187

We love Thai Chili Jam. Food is so good. Thai salad has such fresh makings it's delicious enough to be a meal. But try the pad Thai shrimp or chicken. Ooooo so good.

Diner Review №188

Never ordering from this bland "Thai" food restaurant again. Ordered online, noodles we're bland with little to no salt, chicken didn't have ANY spice.

Diner Review №189

Very bland. Small portions. Not worth it.

Diner Review №190

Diner Review №191

Diner Review №192

Decent Thai food.
Unfortunately, I have had my order messed up multiple times here. For example, I asked for a dish to not have peanuts, but it came with peanuts anyways. For me this is a minor grievance, but I worry about people with food allergies and sensitivities.
I also find the staff to be unresponsive and a tad unfriendly.

Diner Review №193

Our go to thai restaurant in the neighborhood. Fast, delicious, and friendly!

By far, my favorite Thai restaurant in Portland, and probably anywhere outside Bangkok! Really, they are that good. Their house hlsaice called Chili Jam, is suppurb, and they have the best pad Thai I've had since a little place in San Jose when I lived there two decades ago.

I love this place. I have eaten here many, many times and have never had something I didn’t enjoy. The curry is particularly good. Friendly service!

Awesome Thai food. This place is a lifesaver during the pandemic.

Diner Review №198

Ordered a beef salad for $13 that I could have made at home for $2. Only 4 pieces of ffried tofu. The wontons were good and the pad thai was ok. Probably won’t be returning.

They food here is your average Thai food, but at premium prices. The staff has not been particularly friendly on my visits either. They are fairly quick though.

If you're not in a rush, I recommend getting your Thai fix somewhere else.
