Belmont is home to some wonderful traditions – the little yellow shop at SE 20th that deals in car batteries, the amazing Movie Madness, and, if you can find it behind the vines, Khun Pic’s. The food and the experience are well worth the search and the leisurely pace that makes dining here an experience.
I was not able to confirm this, but I firmly believe that my sources were reliable when I heard that the chef at Khun Pic’s and the chef at Lemongrass are sisters, and that their parents ran Bangkok Kitchen that used to be at 25th and Belmont. Whether this is true or not, Lemongrass and Khun Pic’s have a lot in common – located in old houses, basically 2 person operations, and phenomenal food.
We recently made our first Covid era visit, and the menu seemed somewhat pared down from what I recall, but there was no trouble finding more tempting things listed than we could have possibly eaten. The fried tofu with peanut sauce was a highlight – if I could reliably know that tofu would be prepared this well, I’d order it more often.
The patio here is one of the nicest outdoor dining spaces I’ve ever been to.
Pro tip – the chef at Khun Pic’s has been known to decide to shut down early, so arriving early boosts your chances for getting fed on a given evening. Don’t expect fast food, but do expect excellent food.

The food here is soo delicious! Easily the bed pad Thai I’ve ever had. The tofu appetizer is really great with an amazing peanut sauce. The couple that runs it are awesome! Make sure to get here early as they are first come first serve and hours are limited. Well worth the wait!

Cozy, unusual, quirky dining experience. We got there early at 5:40 pm and were the first to be sat and served when they open at 6. All food was fantastic, fresh, and flavorful. We tried every entree on the menu and each one was better then the next. We loved the fried rice, crispy tofu app, and spring rolls. Don’t go here if you’re looking for a quick dining experience, there’s only 1 cook in the kitchen!! Great evening.

Delicious Thai food, lovely and charming atmosphere. Do plan to spend some time here as there are only two people working…the cook and the server. We had the catfish with vegetables and also a vegetable stir fry with chicken, both delicious. And the best Pad Thai I have ever eaten. The service was charming, the atmosphere very unique, quaint, with different tablecloths and china on each table. Fireplace was so cozy in January. It’s cash or check only, no credit cards accepted. If you’re in a hurry, pick somewhere else to eat. But if you plan to make a night of it, you will enjoy.

Patience is a virtue, as it says on the menu- and virtuous patrons are rewarded with delicious peanut sauce and colorful, flavorful dishes. One of my favorite Portland patios- warm, eclectic, tucked away under gorgeous mature fig trees. Just be prepared to wait!

One of the best Thai restaurants I’ve been to. The cat fish, drink noodle, and pad Thai were fantastic. Can’t wait to come back

This place is just wonderful- the sweetest host couple, best homecooked Thai food ( we had the salad rolls, green curry and fried rice, loved it!! ) and the atmosphere is super cosy, lots of beautiful details… can’t stop praising this place . Good to be there early and bring cash ( no cards).
We ll be back whenever we re in town!

Best Thai food in Portland. It is cash only and you have to get there right at 6 (you’ll have to wait an hour for food) but it’s so insanely worth it. Still open!
