Khob Khun

My boyfriend and I were visiting Portland and are both big fans of Thai food. We spent quite a bit of time on Yelp searching for Thai spots before deciding to walk to the nearby Midtown Beer Garden Food Cart area to check out the options. After wandering around and weighing all of the delicious looking (and smelling!) options, we both opted for Khob Khun Thai Food. He ordered the Spicy Basil with Chicken, medium spice level. I opted for the Garlic Pepper with Shrimp, spicy level. While we were waiting, we grabbed a cocktail from the onsite bar and pretty soon after our food was ready. We sat in the communal seating under the tents and dug into our food. I love spice, so I found the spicy level to be perfect. My boyfriend loves spice too, but it was a bit much for him, so medium was the right call. Both of our entrees were flavorful and the portion sizes were perfect.This Food Cart area is perfect as it has something for every palate. Definitely worth checking out if you are in the area!

We are avid Thai food enthusiasts and stumbled upon this amazing Thai food cart that was within walking distance of our hotel in downtown Portland. We visited in July 2022. Holy cow is it good! The food is authentic, piping hot, and prepared with love. We visit Portland almost every year and try out as many food carts as we can when there. It's pretty typical to be met with aloof, annoyed workers among the food carts making it an uncomfortable experience. Not at Khob Khun! We visited several times and were met with smiles, laughter, and kindness. Our favorite foods were Pad See Ew, any of the curries, salad rolls, coconut shrimp, potstickers, and the BEST Thai iced tea in the city. We hated leaving Portland because we new we'd miss out on our daily Thai fix. Be sure to give this place a try if you're in the area - it's definitely some of the best Thai food we've had!

Bery authentic and reasonable. One of my favs for sure. Loved the green curry with shrimp an tom soup

This was our first stop in Portland when we first came to visit. Ever since we've been regulars, we've tried the Pad Thai and fried rice, both are delicious but I recommend the crab fried rice (spicy)! It is fresh and contains a lot of FRESH crab. The serving portions are more than enough for one person and it is affordable. The lady working there is very nice and is always busy which I'm glad to see, all that means is that this is a good spot! Her prices are going up by one dollar, what used to be a $9 crab fried rice is now $10, it is more than fine because the serving portions are so good. There is also a .50c charge for credit cards (don't let this sway you away).

Stopped by this booth for a quick lunch. It's relatively inexpensive and I was happy they were serving green Thai tea the flavours were just okay. I ordered the pad Thai and I think I should have gone with the spicy. I saw another review that said the spicy was mouth burning and I definitely would not trust that review haha. I ordered the medium and it was not spicy at all. I would recommend coming here if you need a quick Thai food fix

The thai food here is pretty good. Nothing outstanding but really tasty. So I had a craving for Pad See Ew, so I looked this place up. Unbeknownst to me, I've been there before. Yes, I need to branch my Thai food more. The food came out fairly quickly and it was a good deal heavy container. The noodles were light and delicate and not greasy at all. There was enough beef for this girl. I wished for a little more scrambled egg but no biggie. The weird part was that it had carrots and zukes. I've only ever had it with broccoli so it threw me for a curve ball. Whatever, more veggies is better for me right? The carrots were not my favorite, but everything else I scarfed down. Yum! I asked for medium spicy, which is weird because this dish doesn't come spicy. Luckily, I picked up some hot sauce and chili flakes to spice it up. This is a good deal and the food will be satisfying!

Looking for a light snack, stopped here because the salad rolls looked divine. Looks we're not deceiving! They were spectacular.......enough so, that we decided to grab an early dinner to go.The star of the show is the peanut sauce. Plain and simple: you could put it on anything! By comparison, other peanut sauce tastes like it came from a can. Slight chili spice, somehow managing to not taste too "peanutty".......as in peanut butter. Utterly wonderful!My world traveling partner said it's "just like mama at Taipei Gate in ChengMai." I'm taking her word for it.......but the sauce makes me a believer.The Phad Thai was tasty, but I cannot review it, since we bought it to be nuked later......unfair. Plus, I put more peanut sauce on it........I'd eat leather from my old boots with that on it and pronounce it tasty!

Portland has a love affair with Thai food.I did too when I had Khob Khun.Grabbed a quick snack before dinner on a Saturday. Ordered the very simple, yet quintessential Thai dish - pad see ew with chicken. Pad see ew is just a giant rice noodle, made with Chinese broccoli, egg, chicken (or any protein), with a soy sauce based. This was 6 buckeroos.SIX DOLLARS. My platter was 6 dollars!!! AND it was insanely good! The vegetables were tender, the noodles with pan fried with a little bit of char, and everything was insatiably good. This was probably the best 6 dollars I have spent in a long time.Took a quick gander and most of the dishes are priced at $6 bucks. Honestly, that's a steal. Plus there's no sales tax, so you're basically eating for free. You so lucky Portlandians.

As the last endeavor to get some food before heading to the airport, we decided to get something at a food cart. After looking at the rows of places, we opted for Thai food. Between this one and the one literally two or three stands down, we for whatever reason went with this one. Plain chicken pad thai to keep things simple. It was just okay :( The chicken was really bland, but the portions were good. We had trouble finishing it! Not the best pad thai I've ever had, but definitely not the worst. Kind of disappointed that this was the last exposure of food in PDX that we got, but meh. I would probably skip the pad thai and go with something else if you come here!

Been coming here for years and as long as this cart is open it will be my favorite Thai food in portland! Best pad kee mao, the noodles are always consistent and cooked perfectly while most other places overcook the wide noodles making them soggy. Not to mention the people who work there are always so kind
