Cha B.a. Thai

Chaba Thai is your best neighbor hood Thai restaurant but you’re lucky enough to have multiple locations across town! We live close to the Sandy location so it’s our #1 goto. Food is awesome and it’s great if you eat in or to go. Normally we get Chicken Satay as an appetizer- it’s so delicious and perfectly cooked. It comes with peanut sauce and something else my wife eats. Their Pad Thai and Pad Ga Pro are our mainstays. Tonight I ordered their Volcano Beef dish and it came out on fire!! Mmmmm. It tasted incredible too. Might be my new goto dish. Every meal has been great. There’s plenty of seating and Chaba Thai does incredible take out business. The staff is always so friendly as well.

Not busy when we got there. The lady was nice and very friendly. We ordered an entrée i can't pronounce and asked for no bamboo shoot, but the order still came out with it. She was apologetic and replaced with a new one. Their pad thai was good. It was flavorful that even when it already got cold, the flavor was still consistent. We will try their other food offerings in the future.

I’ve tried many Thai places across Portland and this place is hands down, the best. I normally have to add some sort of sauce (sriracha, fish sauce, hoisin, etc.) because the pad thai or pad kee mao is missing…something. That one thing that takes the dish from good to great. Or mediocre to good. Not this place. The pad thai doesn’t need a darn thing in my opinion. Fantastic spot!
