What People Are Saying About Khun Pic's Bahn Thai

In Short
Numerous orchids, mismatched china and old black-and-white photos give the dining room an eclectic, welcoming feel. The one server--the chef's husband--is always friendly, but often harried. The small menu offers dishes cooked to order including a beautifully balanced Massaman curry, deftly flavored pad thai and well-sauced appetizers made with mint leaves and fresh flavors. Desserts include coconut ice cream and mango sorbet.

I don't understand how so many people can recommend this place, including Portland Monthly. The food is subpar Thai Food that isn't that imaginative or tasty - I've come to the conclusion that most people in this city just don't know what any ethnic food is supposed to taste like since they don't know any better. The service is painfully slow. Even with the 6 tables they had filled, the one server had no reason to be going as slow as he was. We were in there for 2 hours, on a weekday. And the prices are really high, the portions weren't equal to what we were paying for, and the menu was small and predictable. I will never come here again, and will caution everyone I know from going there. The cute idea of having the place look like someone's living room doesn't make up for the lack of customer service and boring food.

This restaurant is so wonderful. The waiter is great and has remembered me over the years. The food is always top notch. The atmosphere is the best in portland with its beautiful victorian house, golden ceilings, and decorative hardware. Like all the other reviews have said never go here starving or in a hurry. I have spent 3 hours here before which could be frustrating if you didn't know to bring a crossword, good company, and perhaps a snack. The garden in the summertime is unbeatable. I hope this restaurant is around for many years to come.

Best catfish dish I've ever tasted. Everything had exceptional flavor. Had a wait but listened to my daughters hint to expect to wait and not be in a hurry (go midweek is the key). My wife and I both were extremely pleased. Kick back atmosphere. Waiter was very courteous and warned us that the chef (his wife) made each patrons order from scratch so it might take a while. I would return again with no hesitation.

Know Before You Go:
The restaurant is easy to miss, as the front is almost completely obscured by bamboo and high garden plants. But if you look for those, you can't miss it.
