Hat Yai is a Thai restaurant with two locations in Portland, Oregon.
Description
Hat Yai is a Thai restaurant named after the city in Thailand of the same name. [1] The original restaurant on Killingsworth Street in northeast Portland's Vernon neighborhood has a seating capacity of 36–38. [2] [3] Andi Prewitt of Willamette Week said of the restaurant on Killingsworth:
The humble skinny strip of a dining room echoes the simplicity of those stands, and you can watch the team work quickly but methodically in an open kitchen. There's just a hint of stateside Southern character, too, and not just because there's fried chicken. Countryfied touches extend to the rustic wood, cheery blue-and-white vinyl tablecloths and drinks served in Mason jars. [4]
A second restaurant is located in southeast Portland's Buckman neighborhood. The menu includes rice-battered fried chicken. [5] [6]
History

Construction of the first restaurant was underway, as of December 2015. [7] Hat Yai's menu was revealed in early 2016. [8] Plans for a second restaurant in southeast Portland were confirmed in October 2017. [9]
The business is owned by chef Earl Ninsom and Alan Akwai. [10] [11]
Reception
In 2016, Alex Frane included Hat Yai in The Daily Meal's "ultimate guide to Portland's best Asian fried chicken". [12] Matthew Korfhage named the restaurant Willamette Week's Pop-In of the Year. [13] He also included Hat Yai in the newspaper's 2017 list of sixteen "great" eateries in northeast Portland. [14] In 2017, The Oregonian's Michael Russell called Hat Yai the "Southern star in Portland's Thai food constellation". [15] Brooke Jackson-Glidden included the fried chicken combo in Eater Portland's 2024 overivew of "iconic" Portland dishes. [16]
