“ I will dream of your Pad Thai even when I’m long gone I was visiting Portland and apparently made it my goal to visit as many food pods as I could. My destination that day: BKK Thai. I don’t even like Pad Thai. It’s usually too oily and sweet for me but I decided to try it anyway. I was blown away The flavors were perfectly balanced, enough veggies to break up the noodles, and most importantly not too sweet. The Thai tea was the perfect accompaniment to wash it all down. I will say the Satay chicken was on the drier side and I could’ve done without but it didn’t take away from the amazingness of everything else. BKK you have my heart, best Pad Thai I’ve ever had. ”
“ I tried the street pad thai and was blown away! One of the best renditions I’ve tried outside of Thailand. Noodles had the perfect texture, flavors were well balanced (not overly sweet), fresh veggies and perfect fried tofu. Highly recommend! ”
“ Bkk offers some seriously delicious Thai cuisine. Their pad Thai is a standout dish that's bursting with flavor! Located in the cozy Cartopia cart pod in Portland, it's the perfect spot to indulge in some authentic Thai flavors. Whether you choose to sit by one of the outdoor fires or opt for the covered and heated tent, you're guaranteed a comfortable dining experience. The staff are incredibly friendly and skilled in the art of cooking up some tasty grub. While I thoroughly enjoyed the food, I rated it a 4 because, while great, it didn't quite surpass my favorite Thai spot in Portland. Nonetheless, it was an overall fantastic experience. ”
“ BKK serves the freshest Pad Thai in town and their curry puffs is insanely delicious. Their noodles are perfectly cooked, tossed in a zesty tamarind sauce with a hint of spice.

“ Best Pad Thai I’ve had in multiple US and Canadian cities. Other than great flavours, the addition of fresh veggies (carrots, green onions, bean sprouts, and cabbage) added beautiful textures and made the meal a lot lighter and pleasant than most Pad Thais. The spring rolls were also very fresh and delish and some of the best. ”
