Thai Chili Jam Restaurant and Full Bar

Stopped by for a couple of appetizers and ordered fried wontons and “Oh my god”. Both were fried, so a little heavy but delicious. Service was great and the atoms-here was cute.

This place is amazing, but just get that out-of-the-way right away! Everyone knows where it’s at, if you’ve ever been in Portland heading out of town, on Southwest Clay, it’s the Thai restaurant right on the edge of town as you get on the ramp. Cute little place, owned by a woman named Jam; Hence the name. The whole menu is all her, and she has a specialty dish called the, well appropriately named Thai chili jam specialty dish, which is what she makes for her husband because it’s his favorite dish, and I personally also highly recommend it… so good! I’ve been coming there for years, and it’s Jams food that made me fall in love with Thai chili’s. Do yourself a favor, and check this place out.

Good place to have Thai food when in the west side of the downtown Portland neighborhood. We had the crispy egg rolls, son in law eggs (what a name!), Khao soy, massaman curry, Panang Curry and pad Thai. All in all, the food was very good. Decent portions, reasonably priced, fairly quick turnaround time and delicious food. I would definitely go back just for the Khao soy which was really really good. The only reason I'm dropping a star in the rating is coz of the service. The lady who served us messed up / forgot our order twice - once during the two starters we ordered and once during the entrees. And what made it more frustrating is that there was nobody else in the restaurant but our group, and so it wasn't like she had other tables to cater to. Next time we might just do take out or delivery. The lack in service is made up in some sorts by the excellent taste is everything we had today.

I forgot to take a picture of the food, but it was really good. It was good the first time I came and it was good the second time! I’ll have to take a photo next time. I had the pineapple red curry and it was super good. Portion size is great too.

You can never really go wrong with Thai food. I’ve been to a couple of Thai restaurants in the city and they’re all great but this crab fried rice that I got was the BEST. I love fried rice and seafood! Can’t stop thinking about it. So delicious. Definitely recommend it! My husband really enjoyed what he ordered as well (forgot the name of it tho) Overall, will definitely come back. The service was awesome too.

Food is great - huge portions, comes out super fast and the food is very flavorful. I loved the khao soy with tofu- better than any I’ve had in Portland! Service is direct and simple. Idk why folks are complaining, I definitely recommend coming here for a meal.

Real Thai food, the yellow curry tasted so good, not so creamy just right amount of coconut milk, still curry tasty, with lots of chicken. Food portion is big. Good price consider it is located in downtown. Worth the price.

These folks calling their food basic is really selling themselves short; all their food is incredible! I was here for the first time in a number of years with my aunt and cousin the other day and had forgotten how good the food is! I used to come here all the time when I was houseless before covid and ever had a little extra money because Outside In is right next door, and they're so nice to everybody. When I went with my aunt and cousin the other day, we had ordered takeout but ended up eating there and they were so accommodating and so nice. They gave us plates to share the food, and water, and silverware. It seems like whether you're houseless ordering a single entree of pad Thai or you have a $70 tab of food for four people, they treat you the same 🥰
