Hat Yai is a Thai restaurant with two locations in Portland, Oregon, United States.
Description
[edit ]Hat Yai is a Thai restaurant in Portland, Oregon, 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 location:
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 operates 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
[edit ]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 overview of "iconic" Portland dishes.[16] Hat Yai was also included in the website's 2025 list of Portland's best restaurants for mid-week lunches.[17]
