Mellow restaurant serving up Thai & Vietnamese staples, plus tea & booze in modest surroundings.
How Thai food is suppose to taste. Finally after living in this area for 6 years I find a yummy Thai place. Prices are so reasonable, huge portions and super friendly staff. Happy to have just found this hidden gem! Oh one of the best things about this place— the noodles aren’t mushy and stuck together, each noodle was its own piece thank you for that. You can tell the food is fresh. You know the chicken is actually chicken. Only good things to say about this place. I can’t wait to go back.
Fantastic and reliable, authentic thai. The meat is never old or nasty like many other spot we tried. They always have fresh stuff, the perfect panang curry with the right amount of coconut milk :) Makes me very happy. Everything else is great too.
My mom and I had lunch here today and the pad Thai was so good that I had to leave a review. The Thai iced tea was also excellent, as was the service. The owner even gave me a to-go cup for the rest of my tea. Would definitely visit again.
Wow!!! How did we miss this amazing restaurant for FIFTEEN YEARS? 😭 Last night while searching for Thai food we decided to try C T Bistro. We ordered our usual Thai favorites and we were delighted. This is the best Thai food we have ever had. I’m not going to able to forget about this incredible restaurant and the people the own it. Many thanks and we’ll see you soon.

What a screwed up operation. Ordered pineapple fried rice with shrimp and we got chicken and no pineapple, why didn't they walk down the mall to Safeway? Also ordered a soup and they forgot to make it and said to come back in 25 minutes. That isn't a good idea. They must be counting shrimp on the Pad Thai. We got 5.
We went here for our daughter’s birthday. They were absolutely fantastic. The service ended up being a little slow and he went above and beyond in making sure that we were taken care of! We will absolutely be back great food 1000% recommend! Excuse the photos I was hungry.
Excessive waiting time! DISRESPECT!!!
Came in on a winter evening looking for Pho in Beaverton, as I had moved from out of town. Ready to judge it, I was humbly surprised by the great taste and fresh ingredients. Friendly atmosphere and great service, backed by delicious food. I'll be back to try more of the menu.!
Love this place. I always get the vermicelli noodle bowls.

Im white guy and a lover of SE Asian food.
Been eating pho for over few decades. After this pho i don't feel i need to go to Vietnam for pho. So much tendon, brisket, meat, tripe, and everything else, - if u know what i mean! Never had better, maybe because of how much tendon i got! ❤️ After i was done i felt i don't have to eat for 2-3 days. Highly recommend!!!
My favorite place ever. Cheap. Delicious. Cozy. Incredible. Best fries I’ve ever had
I have had pad woonsen a couple of times here. The managers/owners are very nice and polite people. The woonsen that I ordered with beef added was extremely tasty and not too greasy. Atmosphere was relaxed. Service was relatively quick, prices reasonable. I would commend coming here again.
Love this place, especially the owner and super-friendly staff. Great variety of food, and it's all excellent, fresh, and well prepared with huge portions. Try it!
We ordered the panang curry with tofu (spicy), vegetable basil fried rice (spicy), and the bun dac biet. Each dish was absolutely FANTASTIC!!! Everything was so flavorful, cooked so well, and had the perfect balance of spice. The portions were more than generous. Definitely an absolutely lovely small-owned business and we were so pleased with our whole dining service. Will for sure be returning!!!
Great food and a nice atmosphere, I love this place!
This is the best Vietnamese food in the area. The pho and vermicelli are perfect!
This place has always been excellent.
Friendly service. Food was delicious with ample vegetarian choices. Would have preferred more spicy
This place has a huge variety of food and super fast service!
This is me and my boyfriend’s Go To Thai food place! We love it and the people who run it. They are very busy, so you know the food is good!!!!
The elder ma and Pa were so sweet and thoughtful it was busy I only waited for my take-out for twenty min they felt bad and gave me a whole extra plate for free and oh my goodness the portions are huge and amazing I'm grateful for these thoughtful kind folks
I love pad thai but they aren't all the same. This place makes the best and the other food is great too! Edit 2024: Still my absolute fave. Food is very well made. Staff is friendly and professional. I still go here often and still love it!
Love this neighborhood spot. The food is always great and the service is wonderful.
Update: Their Pho is either the best or tied for 1st w/ BEP at Timberland.
This is probably the best Phad Thai on the west side, and their Panang Curry is out of this world. Wings are excellent and I've never had anything bad from their entire menu.
Best Tom Kha soup I've ever had, and I'm a Tom Kha connoisseur! The salad rolls were amazing. Got the S3 Bun Dac Biet as well, didn't love the chicken but the shrimp, pork and egg roll were perfect. Highly recommend, their prices are very fair and portions are great. They were very welcoming and appreciated that we chose to eat there. Not enough of that in restaurants any more. I'll be eating here again!
I love both their Thai and Vietnamese options here. Their Ugly egg rolls are delicious. They're not on the menu but you have to ask for it by name. They're super crunchy and are rolled with rice paper. Their pad Thai is just perfect, not too wet or dry, or too much tamarind. My other go to dish is the Vietnamese fried rice. I don't know what seasonings are in there but it sure is delicious!
Amazing Thai food!
Comfortable and casual place with delicious Thai food. We come here often, almost once a week!
This is my all time favorite place to get Pad Thai. My boyfriend and I decided to do a taste test of the top rated Pad Thai entrees in the Portland area. We did a side by side comparison, and both decided that CT Bistro’s was the best- by FAR. No others can even compare. My children also ask for it often. It is so flavorful, and such a good price point. The owner and staff are all beautiful people. Very, very friendly and hardworking. Thank you all. 10/10 experience!
This is probably the best Thai food place I have ever tried in my entire life. I've been to quite a few venues both in Los Angeles and Portland, and this is absolutely the gold star winner! I do prefer my Pad Thai on the sweeter side, and their Pad Thai is perfectly sweet and savory with wonderful almost caramelized red onion strips and the chicken is super tender and juicy, not tough at all. Everyone was extremely welcoming when I came in, and genuinely friendly. The light instrumental jazz music was extremely nice, and it was a lovely place to have lunch by myself in one of the comfy cushion booths. They do have plenty of tables and chairs if you wanted to bring a group though! I will definitely be bringing my husband back here, and extremely excited to explore more of their menu!
Such a cozy restaurant ❤️ 10/10 recommend. Food is so so good and not too expensive!!!
This place has the greatest staff and the most delicious food. One of the best pho I have ever had, and their peanut sauce is to die for!
I would give 4.5/5
Pretty good beef soup pho - lots of beef
Really was craving pho and came here and it was really delicious and hot. The waiter was quiet but he worked hard especially as it started getting busy. The owner I assume came out and helped us box our food, talked a bit and just checked on everyone. Super nice. The only thing is that my friend was trying pho for the first time so we wanted more of a variety which they don’t have for pho but they had other things that looked so good when they serving them. I would go back. Just be patient, it’s a small spot and if they get busy you might not have your food in 10-15 mins but that’s okay.
Love the food here. Garlic beef is our favorite and adding fries makes it even better. Vermicelli is also great. The curry not so much but there are lots of extra options.
Garlicky greens with beef so fire. I have been here 5-10 times and it's always good. They have viet,thai and wings/fries. I've ordered from their Thai and had their wings. I'm sure the other offerings must be good. 5 stars everytime
It was great! First time, would recommend to anyone
Food was excellent and good size portions. Very pleased that we gave it a try.
These people are unaware- I'm shy! but every time I get their food for dinner and I've had a sad day, it comforts me SO much and lifts my spirits. I love them! They are the only Thai place in our area that reminds me of the place near my home, I've tried different places that have watery Panang or unseasoned pineapple fried rice that disappoints, but this place never does that, and always has delicious amazing food 🥺
some of the best food i’ve ever had
The definition of mediocre. Egg rolls were nice but did not include a dipping sauce. Pad thai ordered 'thai hot' was barely spicy at all and did not have any noticeable amount of peanut. Tiramisu was clearly premade and frozen -- still had ice crystals on top. Super overpriced for the experience you get, but the quality is at least decent, which saves it from being 1 star.
One of my absolute favorite restaurants for Pho in the entire Portland area. They also make delicious curries and noodles, and have a great Vietnamese and Thai menu.
I just love this place. I get the chicken satay every time and it is amazing! I am sure everything else is awesome too...I just have a hard time straying from the chicken satay. Their peanut sauce is one of the best I've had AND they give you extra sauce for free! You just have to ask! Always friendly, always great food!
Excellent Thai food! Amazing flavors. Fresh veggies. Well-prepared tofu. Large portions…perfect for a leftovers meal. Easy parking. Super-friendly staff. We had the tofu yellow curry, tofu cashew delight and tofu basil fried rice. My kiddo devoured it and insisted I write a 5 star review. Family-friendly.
Placed an order for our office team today and Nien N, provided great customer service. He was very friendly and patient with me when taking my order over the phone and answered all my questions. They also helped with bringing our order to my car. Our entire office enjoyed the food, we will definitely be returning. Thank you CT Bistro Viet & Thai !
This is such a great place for food they have wings, French fries they even taste the best, they give you alot. Also good to eat their is pad Thai Woodson, yellow curry is the best around. If you feel like dessert get a slice of mango pie🔥.
Just had lunch at this restaurant, I ordered the red curry and my girlfriend had basil fried rice. We both really enjoyed both of our meals and the customer service was very good. The owner is also very friendly and a pleasure to talk with. I will definitely be coming back and I recommend this restaurant.
Amazing food I highly recommend! The owner Kent Dang was so sweet and attentive. My boyfriend and I felt so welcomed by all the staff. I ordered basil thai fried rice and my boyfriend ordered red curry they were both so phenomenal. I will definitely be coming again with an empty stomach so I can try more of the delicious food. Just look at the picture below, we completely devoured that food.😁
Food was excellent!
Large yummy portions. I had chicken Pad Thai.
Found by accident and very happy with our food, thanks
Great food.
This place is just what you want. Great food, better service. Traditional dishes done right. Don’t listen to the bad reviews, try this place out. You won’t be disappointed.
Lovely owners and delicious food :)
Fresh salad rolls with spicy peanut sauce
Solid wings. Looking forward to going back
Yellow curry was great and so was pad kee mao. Wings were crispy, but was expecting a different sauce which caught me off guard, still good tho
I hate to be writing such a negative review, but the food and service was horrible.
I visit CT Bistro at least twice a month it’s that good. They do great takeout and the service in the restaurant is very fast. I highly recommend the Pad Woosen, basil fried rice, cashew delight, and any of their soups/pho. They also have a large variety of gluten free options for those who need it. 10/10.
Service was fast, friendly, and funny! Large portions, food was hot and yummy. Salad rolls are perfect! Interesting menu choices and options, some of which I've never seen before.
Great food, great service, and very clean. If we lived in the area this would be our go to place for vietnamese cuisine.
Family owned business. Authentic food.The staff is very friendly.the food was great. I ordered it on phone and by the time I went to pickup was ready in 20 minutes time. Very neat and clean place. Food was excellent and fresh , tasty. I would recommend this place to all.
I concer, good food and excellent service. I will look forward to returning again soon.
Food was good. Price was appropriate for good sit down restaurant. Rivals other nearby giants. Nice.
excellent food - fresh ingredients used & great service. We come here every two weeks at least & are impressed every time.
Really the best option in NW Beaverton. Smaller menu, and I've only tried the Vietnamese side, but very good.
Easy, simple and surprisingly good quality Thai/viet food. Take out orders at dinner can get chaotic and on the phone folks can seem a bit short but that’s more to do with cultural differences. The staff has always been friendly in person
5/5 around 6pm. Went here for the first time and was looking at the menu. The guy at the front was very impatient and annoyed that I’m taking time to order. I got chicken vermicelli and the chicken was rubbery and overall I’ve had a lot better vermicelli (at luc lac and pho gabo restaurants). I don’t recommend this restaurant. Definitely not a good first time impression…
Excellent. I've been here many times with consistently delicious dishes every time. The staff are friendly and accommodating with extra caution with regards to allergies.
Got the salad rolls with pork & shrimp and the S1 beef pho special with tendons and honestly everything was great.
The broth itself was not as complex or salty as I would have liked but the generous portions more than made up for it. Really just solid all around, will definitely be coming back.
Family Owned and Operated. The owner Ken creates the best Thai and Vietnamese food in town. Try the #2 Bangkok with glass noodles. You will not be disappointed. All of his dishes are prices well with huge servings.
Their curries are good and so is their pineapple fried rice.
Panang Curry is out of this world. Pad Kee Mao and Pad Thai are also on point. The best Thai food in the area by far. Oh and perfect Thai Iced Tea. Good people too.
Incredible food with amazing people!! You have to stop by!
Popular local restaurant due to high quality food for a reasonable price. Hot wings are solid. Their pho is loaded with meat. Their salad rolls which are Vietnamese spring rolls are good, not authentic but good.
1st time having Viet & Thai. Cute little place and the customer service was great. The plate taste fresh. Veggies were nice and crisp. I enjoyed my plate but if/when I return, I will definitely have a different choice. Lighting was very dim, I apologize for the poorish pics.
Waited 45 min for my to-go order for 2 pad thais. I didn't tip them but they tipped themselves 20$. Isn't this illegal? I'll be going through my bank with this.
So happy we found this place. The food was fresh & delicious! Thai Tea on me you will love it!
eat the chicken satay right now mf
Friendly service, great owner and awesome food.
Great vietnamese food with good prices.
By far my favorite Vietnamese restaurant, food is authentic and reasonably priced. Meat portion is fair and the beef pho is inexpensive compared to other restaurants which keeps me coming back. Owner and staff are also very friendly.
Great food. We tried the cashew delight, pad Thai, Panang Curry and egg rolls. All of them with tofu instead of meat. And all of them were tasty and their service was prompt. The food was ready and warm in the 20 min they told me on the phone to pick it up in. Would want to try out some more stuff from their menu.
I like to think of myself as a Thai food connoisseur, and this place has genuinely the best Thai food I’ve ever had. Good, quick service, and incredible food. I can’t stop coming back!
I've never had a bad dish here, it's just so good and consistent. Anytime I get Thai food from another restaurant I think "it's not as good as CT Bistro."
Excellent!! I had the Garlicky Veggies with tofu. The name seems so simple but the flavors were fantastic! Even the rice was fresh. The egg rolls were passable. The restaurant was clean and the service tremendous!
Got take-out. CT, please never change.
Do not come here if you are going in your lunch breaks . They have good food . But the customer service is horrible . Walking in , we sat down . The lady in front made eye contact with us and still didn’t come to us . She answered the phone and we were already sitting for 7 mins . To the point where we had to get up and order up front . They need more staff if they don’t want negative reviews like this . Customer service should be at its finest .
The best VietThai food I have ever had. The world's best fish sauce handmade along with their egg rolls nothing better on the planet 10 stars
The food was good (beef pho for one of us and panang curry for the other). The service was mediocre but the food made up for it.
It's 2021 and their New York wings - lemon pepper and garlic pepper - are still the best in Oregon. The wings are very crispy and flavorful.
Pleasantly surprised by the pad Thai! Great portion and really fast. Definitely will return for my lunch breaks!
gluten-free available! what a relief, finally a place I can order from confidently! I recommend the cashew chicken - you have to ask for spice!
This place is great to grab a fave of mine S3 and also have some great tasting pho'.
We absolutely love this place and eat here all of the time. The food is amazing, and the staff is really friendly. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes Vietnamese or Thai food.
Good service, good food.
Always good food
Delicious
Honestly love this place. The fries are amazing and I have been having them for a long 3 or 4 years. I brought more than a couple of friends here and they said the fries were fantastic. They have a hard understanding people because of most likely language barrier, but they are very kind and it feels extremely homey
First time there. Great atmosphere and staff.I had a papaya salad...not the best I've ever had but it was good...a lot of shrimp in it.my friend had yellow currie..lots of chicken in it..I tasted it ,again,not the best but good. I will be back.i recomend you give it a try
Best Chicken Wings! Love the Lemon Pepper and traditional Buffalo sauce..
Very delicious meals and great service.
Very pleasant relaxing place to go. Check it out sometime when you get the chance.
The pho was OK, but I wouldn’t go back for it.
The salad rolls were almost entirely iceberg lettuce.
I wasn’t very satisfied with the quality of their food.
The customer service was decent though.
Have eaten here a few times now and overall happy with it. The Vietnamese soup and grill dishes are particularly good. The Thai food, noodle dishes, are okay, not great. There are several better options nearby for the Thai food. It has options for French fries & chicken wings which is nice, particularly the fries for the kids.
The Vietnamese food is better than the Thai so would recommend choosing that and doing Thai someplace else.
OM GLOB!! the Tom Yum was pretty much the highlight of me and my kids day. Busy place with happy laughter. Will come back for sure!!!
It was great, very nice servers, prompt service, good food. We will go again.
CT Bistro is by far the best!! So much so that we asked them to cater our annual Christmas party this year and WOW they did not disappoint!!! The food was ready on time for pick up and the guests couldn’t stop talking about how delicious everything was! Definitely try their menu out if you haven’t already:)
Hot fresh food, great atmosphere.
One of the worst dining experience so far in Beaverton. I went in with my wife and was not greeted with any source of kindness just you sit here or there and here is the menu deal, he brought out our waters did say a word, then came back after a min to see what we wanted, I wanted to say how I wanted my order to be extra spicy he said what !! like he did not understand and said hot right. He rushed through the order process I did not have time to ask questions. My wife got her dish first with no utensils, and then I got my dish a few mins later rather then wait a few mins. We ate our food did not come by once to see if we needed water and I saw everyone else had a container of water in there table and we did not. I asked for a box he went straight to get it before I could say and a check. I had to go up to pay because that this point me and my wife felt unwanted. He looked annoyed for some reason because he was having lunch and had the other guy do it. Out of all my years of reviewing places this will be the first time I say this. But I felt like it was because we where brown people that's why he treated us badly. Dont go here people. The food was not good as well it was subpar. It was eatable but made worst by the service. I understand bad service but this was let's get out as fast as we can servace.
Doesn’t look super inviting from the outside, but I decided to give it a shot since I live near by. Ordered take out, chicken pad Thai, and it was super yummy! The chicken was moist, not dried out like most Thai places that keep reheating their food. The guy who answered the phone was difficult to understand, but when I got there, he was super nice and attentive. Threw in a free side of peanut sauce.
Don’t be surprised if you walk in and no one else is in there. It’s good food, and service is great so you won’t regret staying.
The yellow curry was very good
Great foods
It was a random pick and it was delightfully good. I had the beef Pho and the broth was excellent! Well spiced and not bland. Meat was not chewy and over cooked. I would eat there again. Staff was prompt and pleasant.
Great food
The beef pho had very distinct and flavorful soup, noodles well cooked. It was just a bit small although fair for $9 (would have liked a bigger bowl for $2 more).
Everything is completely clean and well cared for. Everything that we ordered was cooked perfectly and in good proportions. Chicken satay was moist and grilled perfectly. The peanut sauce was excellent. The fried rolls have the right amount of filling in them and were some of the nicest ones I've had in a while. We were just looking for a snack, but we have found that if you can do your appetizers well then the rest of your food usually follows suit. When we are back in town we will definitely come back.
This place is a strange one for sure. Not in a bad way.
Staff was very friendly. A little hard of hearing I think but the restaurant was surprisingly busy (almost full) and quite loud.
Had pork spring rolls and chicken satay as apps. Spring rolls were not great. Kind of like a long meatball wrapped and fried. Satay was pretty good but I probably won't order it again.
I tried a few entrees including the pad thaj chicken, garlicky greens with beef, and panang curry with chicken.
The garlicky greens were way above the rest in quality for presentation and taste. I wish I got a picture. Compared to the other dishes it looked like someone actually assembled it (greens on bottoms, beef and onions on top, topped with seasonings and scallions)
The rest of the dishes just got plopped on the plate and a lime thrown on the edge. Mediocre presentation.
Pad thai always basically tastes the same to me. And panang curry is hard to screw up. So they get passing scores.
The garlicky greens dish though: that's what will bring me back.
Eating here since it opened, and I am never disappointed in the quality of the food.
My favorite place for Pho. I always phone my order in and its ready when I get there. Friendly people. One of these days I will have to try some other food. But at this time I am addicted to the S1 on the menu.
Friendly family own Vietnamese restaurant. The Owners are very friendly and the food is pretty good. Can see a fancy 5 star restaurant to include gratuity for a large party but for a small one? 4 Star because they charge gratuity for I believe six or more.
Great food, quick service, and reasonable prices. Nice clean place. No waiting or crowds. This was legit Thai food. It was my first time eating there - I went with a friend, but I will go back for sure. Friendly staff and I love the convenient location in Cedar Mill. Thanks!
Great place to dine, the owner is friendly an funny, an very helpful..I recommend this place as there fish sauce is over the chart!!! Must visit.
Best restaurant in the tri county area with regards to price and taste. Great service and friendly staff.
The food here is incredible. The flavor is so amazing. I can't get enough of this place. 🤩
Pho was just pretty good. Vietnamese coffee was excellent.
