Ba Mee Thai Noodle House

Met up with some dear friends at Ba Mee while I was in town and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We were fortunate enough to walk in on a Saturday night and grab a table. Service was very prompt and friendly. Started with a few appetizers...Chicken Satay (was good but not best I've had), Thai Wings (delicious and packed with flavor), and a Soybean sheet rolls (good but preferred other two appetizers). Mains ordered were Beef Pad See Ew (this was so so good!), Chicken Pad Thai (tasty dish but chicken was a bit of a let down compared to everything else) and I had the Ba Mee House Noodle Soup with duck (delicious and packed with noodles and tasty broth and veggies). Overall, it was a great experience and would recommend. Didnt get to take pix of other dishes as we ate the appetizers too quickly!

Food was really good. I had a duck and noodle. I would have liked the duck to be a little more crispy but the flavor was delicious. Atmosphere was pretty good. Servers were nice, they seemed to be attentive. It started to get packed and the service was a bit slower, they kept forgetting my drink. But they were pretty friendly.

Wow I loved Ba Mee! The noodles were absolutely so fresh and chewy. I’m so glad I finally made it in. I want to try everything on the menu and will definitely be back. We had excellent service as well. A great alternative if you don’t want to wait for a seat down the street at eem.

Best Tom Yum I’ve ever had and I’ve been to Thailand twice! So flavorful, and the presentation of the dish is great too. Will be coming back here the next time I’m in Portland. Staff friendly as well.

This place is phenomenal! I've been back several times. For main courses, we had the N8 Kao Soy Noodle w/ Stewed Beef & the N13 Ba Mee House Noodle BBQ sauce w/ Crispy pork & BBQ Pork. The N8 stole the show, the layers of flavor you will find here are all there with the tenderness beef just melting on your taste buds. Some of the best comfort food in Portland. Kao Soy Noodle are still awesome! Great service. Updated. Have gone back, still amazing. Consistent. Best Kao Soy in the city!

I’m a true lover of Asian food, and this Thai spot completely blew me away! Super authentic flavors and absolutely delicious. We each ordered a soup—mine was a chicken curry, and my friend had a different one (not sure what it was!), but both were incredible. The homemade noodles took everything to the next level. Warm, flavorful, and clearly made with care. This place exceeded all expectations—don’t miss out on this gem!

Recommend the n9 house pulled noodle soup (subbed for the roasted duck) , r6 rice with crispy pork belly and n12! The ginger rice is savory and combines well with the crispy pork belly. Music was a wee bit loud for our table but otherwise the service was great and cocktails were delicious.

Ba Mee was a serendipitous discovery on a night when a smash burger and creamy shake can be savored another day. If Thai delicacies get your heart started or if a plentiful dish satisfies your craving for something extraordinary, peruse the images posted and decide for yourself. Satisfying aroma not included.

Gluten free and vegan options. Excellent food and atmosphere! Wish I lived closer; it would be my regular noodle house!

One of my favorite new Thai/Asian spots in the area. I haven't been able to try the house made noodles since they don't have a GF option for my wife, but the regular dishes we've really liked. The Pad Thai and stir fry's are especially good. The spring rolls are very fresh and generously sized. Only disappointment was the Duck as a protein, which was too dry. I absolutely love that they use paper containers for their take out orders, and will only order takeout from them now. The plastic clamshells that every other Thai place uses are usually not recyclable, and so wasteful. Good for Ba Mhee!

Omg I came here a week ago and it was so good and delicious! I ordered the crispy pork on the side and let me tell you it was definitely crispy which I love not only that the meat was so tender soft & yummy! I ordered the noodle with bokchoy and duck it was so freaking good! I will definitely come back! Thank you guys!

Wow! Ba Mee has been on my list for quite a while and I'm honestly so upset it's taken me so long to try it!! EVERYTHING WE ORDERED WAS DELICIOUS!! And I am not exaggerating! The flavor was on point! And the cost per dish is not expensive at all. I ordered the Garlic Noodles with duck. I've never had duck and kept seeing their duck on the window (IYKYK) so I decided to give it a try. I chose level 3 for spice and gosh, I wish I would've done a 2!!! I love spicy but this was another level! Nonetheless, the food was still delicious. My partner ordered the Pork Belly and BBQ Pork over rice and I think I enjoyed his meal more than mine. Both were really good, but the flavors of this one were a bit more enjoyable. The crispy shrimp were to die for!! I wish I would've ordered more, because 4 was not enough (lol). The Thai tea- don't even get me started! I've had quite a few Thai teas in my life, so I've had bad ones. This one has got to be my all time favorite Thai tea!!!! It was well balanced and not too sweet. I would recommend this place!! I can't wait to go back and try a few other dishes!!

Wow! This place is refreshing. Decor is intentional and modern, and I'm sure, goes from day to night seamlessly. Service was great when we went, knowledgeable and kind. Three of us dining, we got the wonton (steamed) and shrimp crispy rolls for appetizers. Wontons are so luxurious, chewy skinned and packed with the best ratio of meat to fat. Shrimp rolls, a great concept, but, I felt lacked flavor (salt or other), and the dipping sauce didn't add anything. Pad Thai (level 2), plump shrimp, very high quality on the seafood here (app was the same), and a thinner noodle and lovely peanut flavor. Tom Yum clear broth (level 5), house-made noodles, very spicy, fish cake was incredible, and I give this a solid 9, the noodles and toppings were a 10, the broth was either lacking in depth or seemed watery. But, worth the try. I believe our last dish was the Ba Mee House Noodles, (level 3) maybe messed that up. The pork cracklings and the marinade on that roast duck, heaven. Can't say enough good things about this spot, check out the little window with the roasted meats, for a more intimate experience, sit at the noodle counter and watch the chef at work. Not so pro tip: I believe my friend's glass of wine was only $8, for I recall, MaryHill or equal...umm...yes.

Pretty good and refreshing spot for Thai noodles in Portland. I tried the house noodles with garlic sauce with the bbq and roast pork and added on roast duck. I also got the shrimp crispy noodles rolls. The shrimp crispy noodle rolls were my favorite thing and the sauce it came with was pretty good too!

I wa Appetizer - A4 Shrimp crispy noodle rolls: This was interesting and a nice new take on fried shrimp. These shrimps were rolled in noodles and then deep fried, giving it that nice crunch. Main course - N12 Ba Mee Garlic noodles with pork combo with won ton add ons: The crispy pork was crispy, and the bbq pork was plentiful. The won ton was tasty and meaty. Next time I'm here, I wouldn't mind trying out their wonton soup. Also, I requested the spice level at a 3 out of 5, but it didn't really taste spicy at all. Luckily, they have a nice spice rack they placed in front of me. Overall, I thought their service was great, the food was great and I would come again to try some of their other offerings.

I have been here for lunch twice, and both times I have had delicious food that tastes fresh and is flavorful. The servings are generous and the leftovers are a real treat. Service is helpful and kind, and I appreciate the bright space and laid back atmosphere. I shall be back.

Went here at around 6pm on a Monday night and it was probably about half full and we were seated instantly. The service was really lovely and nice and fast. The interior is really nice and bright and clean. Overall I thought the food was pretty good, I def prefer the dry noodle we had. The crispy pork we had in both dishes were really good, perfectly not too fatty and crispy. I thought the soup broth in the soup dish was lacking and just didn't have much depth and would probs recommend to get other things but besides that everything was really good. I really liked the sauce in the bbq noodle dish.

My oh my, Ba Mee hit the spot on a nice, chilly night in Portland, OR before heading to a show with friends. Right from the start, Solomon our server, was kind, genuine, & knowledgeable of what to order/what not to order. He kept my friends & I laughing... I ordered N11 Ba Mee hand pulled noodle soup with roasted duck spice level 1 (but tasted like a 3), & it was so delish, the roasted duck was tender & Chinese broccoli was crunchy & spicy. My friends & I shared the fried & steamed dumplings for appetizer. I mentioned in another review that I'm a fan of tequila, so I ordered the Jungle with reposado tequila & was refreshing. The other server, Kai, was also kind & friendly. Will definitely recommend to others if in Portland!

Food was pretty good. I ordered the N12 but ended up being given the N11 which wasn't too big of a deal. I told the waitress that I got the N12 but she argued saying she wrote down N11. I didn't want to argue so I just said it was fine. The broth was warm and clean which was actually kinda nice. The pork was great and crispy - probably my favorite part of the dish. When checking out, the staff was frustrated since we asked to split checks which I'm sure is a lot of extra work but they could've spoken a little nicer considering I was standing right in front of them. Overall pretty good food but service not too great.

Superb. Stands out against more familiar Thai cuisine with an excellent selection of fresh, handmade noodles and perfectly blended flavors. Impossible to go wrong, but make sure you try the oxtail soup. So nutritious! Also love the roasted duck. Great staff and the interior design is pleasant. Lovely place to be.

I really wanted to like the place. The idea that they make their own noodles was intriguing. I ordered the Ba Mee noodle pork combo. The flavor was just ok and the noodles were decent. The BBQ pork, however, was overcooked and dry. My wife got the Tom Yum noodle soup, which was pretty average compared to other places that we've been to. Overall, I would have given this place 3 stars for being average but had to knock off a star for their atrocious wings. They give you "6" wings for 8 bucks, but in actuality, they literally take the flat pieces and cut them in half, essentially only giving you three wings. See the attached photo for how ridiculous they really are.

Tis the season for noodle soup! Finally got to check the new(ish) addition to Williams out on a Friday for lunch. It was not busy and we got to sit on the left hand side of the restaurant and watch the chef make noodles. We started with cocktails: spicy thairita (has a kick and not too sweet) and whiskey colada (fancy looking and interesting). For appetizer, the Po pia sod sounded intriguing - tofu/shrimp in a dumpling pocket situation; I'm glad we tried it because I had never seen it before but I didn't feel like the ingredients came together and will not order it again. For entree, I got the duck soup and my partner got the combo pork soup. Pros: Both had great and very different flavors; the noodles were chewy and fresh tasting. Spice tray was . Cons: Duck was a bit gristly and the crispy pork was... not very crispy and pretty fatty. Overall, I'll return to try other menu items. Everything is reasonably priced, fresh, and the servers were friendly.

Ive been here 3 times already in the past 2 months! What a gem! This is my new favorite go-to place, especially for pad see ew! The fun thing about their menu is that you can choose your noodle type and from a variety of meats! They have cantonese style meats, which is the best of both worlds along with the thai dishes. I love their crispy pork belly, roast duck, bbq pork. Their thai sausage is addicting too, it has a nice sweetness to it. So build your combo exactly the way you like it! I love my pad see ew, so adding the cantonese style meats to it really elevated the flavor and experience. Its unique! I love my pad see ew with thai sausage and either roast duck or bbq pork. I tried it with crispy pork, but the pork is stir fried into the noodle and not on the side. I prefer my crispy pork with the fresh crispy skin, so i wont choose that option next time. But the pork cooked with the noodle brings out the pork oils and flavor even more! We always get the garlic sauce noodle with hand pulled noodles! Its not that garlicky. The crispy pork with this is excellent! We love their crab fried rice as well! Full of crab meat, its comfort food. A solid menu! The dishes have that wok flavor that i lovee!

Love this place! After my workout class, I ordered fried pork with noodles and it was delicious! The server was very friendly and the food came out quick. Will definitely be back!

Definetly worth coming back! Hand pulled noodles, yum! Unique menu items that other Thai restaurants don't offer.

I visited Ba Mee Thai Noodle House for dinner. The restaurant has a great indoor and outdoor seating. There's a fast paced atmosphere. The service was great. I ordered crab wontons to share with my friend and I ordered the ba mee house noodle soup with egg noodles, roast pork, and pork belly. The broth was good but I needed to add chile to amp it up. The meat and noodles were delicious. The wontons were pretty standard. Overall, I had a great dinner and I would revisit.

Let me begin with quality of food! I've gone two times already during lunch and dinner. The service for each of them was fitting for the times! During dinner it was packed and noisy but the vibes were all there! Got seated pretty quick! Server was busy and didn't take orders right away but when we did food came pretty quick! My friend and I ordered the shrimp appetizer which came out deliciously crispy and the main dish was "N12", the ba Mee noodles with garlic sauce! It's amazing! This particular order came with a side dish of broth! My friend and I dumped the broth on top of the noodles. Apparently it's a separate dish so if you wish for the broth ask for it! N12 is not meant to be eaten as a soup but listen to me the broth warmed up the garlic sauce on the noodles and elevated this dish to the next tier!! I came back for this same dish durning lunch on a Monday afternoon and the place was empty! Service was quick and food just as delicious with broth added on top!! Highly recommend this restaurant

The food flavors were great however, the service could definitely be improved which may be understandable as they're still new. I will be giving this dine in experience another chance in the next couple of months. Food ordered: N11 Pork Combo + Duck - 8.5/10: large portion, all meats were juicy and tender, noodles had a little bounce but as a person who likes their broth HOT; the broth was lukewarm when the bowl arrived to the table which made it quite disappointing. N6 Creamy broth - same as above A4 Shrimp Crispy Noodles - 10/10! Must try A5 Wow Wings - 9/10: crispy and flavorful Overall, for those who love noodle soups with roasted pork belly, duck, and bbq pork but lack of service is your main concern, I would recommend doing take out!

A wonderful addition to both the city and area. The place is located on the corner of North Willams and North Mason. The interior is clean, nice, and spacious. We ordered an assortment of items to share, which I like to do when trying a new place out. We ordered the (N6) Tom Yum Noodle Soup (creamy broth), (N12) Ba Mee House Noodle BBQ Sauce (added duck to it), (R1) Crispy Pork and BBQ Pork over ginger rice, (N10) Hand pulled Noodle stir fried), and (A5) Wow wings. I would say that all the dishes were well made and each had something that made it good. The flavor of the meat was on point, as well as the quality. It was a great thing that we got the ginger rice over regular rice. The hand pulled noodles had a great texture and flavor. Overall, we all enjoyed our meal and would come back again. I know there's still a handful of other items I need to try.

Had the Tom yum noodle soup, creamy. The flavors in this OMG!! That sweet, sour, spicy umami that you want from Thai food. The variety of the meats in this dish were amazing. The little crunch and flavor that the peanuts gave, yum!! I would come back for the food alone and it was fun to watch them make the noodles. Although the service was attentive after I sat down and ordered. It was a bit awkward walking in. I got a smile but wasn't directed to a seat or given any sort or instruction. Parking was a nightmare. I would happily brave it for some more of this soup!

Food: - A4 Crispy Shrimp Noodle Rolls were absolutely delicious. Fun textures and so good with the sweet chili sauce. Would get this again! - N12 Ba Mee House Noodle Garlic Sauce with Roasted Duck was disappointing. The roasted duck was so so so so dry, which made it tough to chew. And, it was very salty, but lacked flavor. Doesn't hold a candle to Chinese roasted duck. The noodles were good. The sauce was garlic-y and overly sweet. I'm glad it came with some green veggies - the fried pork skin topping was unexpected. - N9 Hand Pulled Noodle Soup with Roasted Pork was ok. The noodles could've been cooked for a little less time to maintain chew. I've rarely experienced this before, but the pork had a gamey flavor. The broth was very salty. Like someone else mentioned, spice level 1/5 played out differently between dishes. It was on point for N12 but N9 was actually 2/5 Service: Super fast and attentive at the start. Then, the timing was off after we received the appetizer, making us wait a very long time for our meal after being very appetized! No one checked in on us throughout the meal so I was unable to give feedback about the duck.

Noodles are hand pulled and the chewy textures reflect it! We got one of their vegetarian options and were pleasantly surprised at how flavorful the dish was. The duck noodles were also spectacular. Bit of a wait for food, but I did not mind it. Overall a solid noodle place. Would definitely come back!

If I could split my review base off food as oppose to service, it would be two different reviews. We order the crispy noodle shrimp appetizer, they brought it out.. the server put it on the wrong table so instead of figuring out who the dish was for, it sat on the counter until they brought it back to the kitchen. Our main entrees were great! Partner order a duck dish and I had the creamy tom yum. Though the food was amazing, the service was awful. After countless servers staring at our table, we would constantly have to ask for refills, service, and of course had to fix our bill since they dropped the ball on the appetizer. We thought it might've just been us but the two tables next to us had to start standing up and going to the bar to get service. Also one of the servers sitting at the bar, eating lunch with their shoes off wasn't a very appealing thing.

It was really nice to walk into a restaurant, be handed a menu, and have our order taken by a server. The appetizers were yummy. I particularly enjoyed the chicken satay with peanut sauce. Everything on the menu looks super good. Looking forward to returning, and trying more of the noodle dishes.

What a beautiful addition to N Williams! Ba Mee Thai is Thai food, but with a fusion influence. It's as if Eeem and Kayo Ramen had a baby, that's Ba Mee. The interior is spacious, bright, and clean - I felt refreshed just walking in the door. Ba Mee's specialty is their housemade egg noodles so I had to make sure to try some. Their dishes feature Cantonese-style bbq meats (roasted pork, roasted duck, bbq pork) as well as homemade wontons and hand pulled noodles! There's also traditional Thai noodle dishes such as Pad Thai, Pad See Ew, and fried rice. I got their Ba Mee house noodle soup with crispy pork and bbq pork and it was delicious! The noodles were bouncy, springy, and well cooked. The meats were also flavorful and juicy. The broth was light and comforting. Perfect for a cloudy day in Portland! The rest of my family also enjoyed their meals. Each dish was unique and well crafted. Ba Mee is the jackpot of all Asian dishes, and you won't be disappointed! What a great find in N Portland!

The food, drinks, and service were all fantastic. Ba Mee Thai Noodle House has been added to one of my go-to Thai spots, and where I'll be bringing all my out-of-town friends and family from now on. My favorite dish was the Khao Soi Beef.

Came here in between dinner rush and got great service. Definitely got more crowded as the night progressed so we came at a good time. Between the two of us we got the steamed wontons, crispy pork noodles, and the duck fried rice. We also got the mango ice cream for dessert. The crispy pork was perfect! Not greasy or tough at all. The sauce the noodles were made in was so flavorful. They also ask what spice level you want on a scale of 1-5. We got a 2 since we wanted to try the hot sauces on the side. The duck fried rice was flavorful and the duck was also cooked perfectly. Crispy skin and juicy meat.

This is a large contemporary space serving up noodle and rice bowls. I really like the open, airy space, and the service is always friendly. There's a full bar so great for casual dinner of drinks and noodles, but my review is just based on the lunches I got. With the large space, I never had a problem just dropping in for some good noodles. The Ba Mee egg noodles are the star because they make it themselves, so they're fresh and springy. I had it with their tom yum soup and it was a nice comforting bowl of food. The added won tons were also nicely made. I also tried the duck noodles, and while the duck was tasty, it was a bit chewy. Some of the other items did feel like it slanted more on the sweet side rather than the funkiness I expect from Thai food (such as an appetizer roll that felt a bit gloopy) but it's still a nice large menu so you can choose your favorite.

Delicious!! We ordered the ba new house noodle soup with duck and the hand pulled noodles with pork belly. We have been on the search for a good duck dish. Service is slow. We sat for about 10 minutes before they came to bring us water and then another 10 minutes before they asked for our order. My partner is allergic to shellfish so we had to change our original order which I think had some oyster sauce. Glad they were able to provide alternative options. The soup broth was so rich and the duck was juicy, savory, and full bodied. The hand pulled noodles had an interesting flavor with a little spice. The pork belly was tender, perfectly fatty and perfectly salty. We ordered the egg rolls but they never came, so we considered ordering the mango sticky rice. Unfortunately we sat for another 10-15 minutes after we cleared our plates and the server never came. We had to find them to just pay our bill. The server was kind and helpful, not sure if they need more hands or just need to be more attentive.

I am just going to admit this is at least my third or fourth time eating here and I've taken second meals home. Amazing food. Very fresh. You even get to watch them make your noodles! The soups are rich and the garlic in anything you could imagine is just as amazing! The service is friendly and I hate to say, they remember me. The design of the space is awesome and welcoming with great decor and very comfortable. Excited to continue eating our way through the menu!

We had a sensational dinner experience. Solomon our waiter was outstanding and gave great sugestions and took excellent care of us. The food, including appetizer A3 and A4 (can't remember their names), the papaya salad, the dry house noodles with garlic sauce and the tom yum noodle soup were all outstanding. Be careful with the spice level you choose. We like spicy food and chose the 2 and even that was too spicy for us. The drinks were really good as well. We will definitely be back.

Yummy food and excellent service:) I love homemade noodle that recommend everyone to try, i order Tomyum noodle soup (clear broth) go along with Bamee noodle that they made in the house. Another yummy dishes are crispy pork and Roasted Duck! Love this place and i will be back again. Thank you Ploy who was our server

Delicious noodle with duck dish. Just the right amount of spice plus there is an assortment of hot sauces that you can add.

Such a great addition to William's, we'll be definitely be coming back to eat the whole menu ! Hands down their Pad Thai hit the spot!

- situated in a nice neighborhood, we had no problem finding street parking on a Saturday i recommend the N12 Ba Mee garlic noodles: - the crispy pork belly was delicious and the fried skin had a yummy crunch - sauce was flavorful and clung to the handmade egg noodles well

I had high hopes but honestly I had an instant headache develop after eating here - the food must be loaded with MSG and/or made with plenty of ingredients that contain synthetic substances and artificial flavors.

Wonderful addition to the neighborhood. The ba mee with roasted duck was delicious, as was the roast pork with Chinese broccoli. We chose spiciness level 2/5 for both dishes and while the roast pork had a kick, we couldn't taste the spice on the noodles at all. Condiments were served on the side so if you wanted to add more spice you can (the chilis in fish sauce was very spicy)! Service was excellent. Can't wait to be back!

Really yummy food, great service, beautiful space, happening location. Had the Kao Soi (crispy pork) and the Ba Mee House Noodle with Garlic Sauce (crispy pork and bbq pork). Healthy and flavorful. We will be back!

So good. Especially on a rainy Portland day. Filling portions with insane flavors. Duck Fried rice: 9/10 that amazing duck flavor/caramelization. not too greasy Tom Yum with Ba Mee noodles: 9/10 aromatic, wish there were less fried pork skins. the rest of the meat in the dish is great. perfect spice level Service was good

N8 Kao Soy Noodle: The reviews are LYING about this place, this place is by far one of the worst Thai places I've eaten at in a while.. I was excited by seeing the previous yelp reviews of people praising the place and giving it an average score of 4.5 during the time or this review, but I'd have to say the beef in the noodle soup was not flavorful whatsoever, it wasn't tender and mainly fatty and very low quality slices of beef. The broth was bland and tasted like straight up coconut milk... and had barely any sort of spice even after order a level 5 (which is the spiciest). I wouldn't trust the reviews for this place mainly because they are not accurate... there were flies roaming around the restaurant and things seemed very disorganized behind the counter with staff, as a SE Asian this is honestly a disgrace and disgusting for the prices they are charging...I'd stay away from this place if you have had good food before and actually have some expectations.

So yummy!! Excellent service and bomb food!! Lots of options to choose from; Thank goodness our server did an amazing job describing all the dishes we were inquisitive about. He "almost" made it harder to choose because everything he described sounded so good, but in the end we were satisfied with the decisions we made. We will for sure be back.

Just tried this noodle spot and the quality and flavors are solid. The Ba Mee House Noodle with Garlic Sauace was excellent. Reminds me of the noodles I'd get when visiting Singapore or Hong Kong. I added extra meats (pork, duck, wonton) and it is a more than hearty meal.

Nice spot with great garage doors to open it up during warm weather. Noodles were delicious!!! (Skip ice cream desserts; not worth it.) Looking forward to going back and trying more noodle dishes. Yummmm.

This is the second time we've tried this lovely Thai place. We had visited this restaurant yesterday for lunch as well. Today we were served by a lady with short hair, and she was super helpful and friendly. I ordered the Crab Fried Rice and Emerald Oolong Tea for a beverage. The ambiance at this establishment is very relaxed. I'd be confident to say my family will visit this Thai place again.

Easily some of the best Thai I've had. It's consistently fantastic and we go frequently since we live near by. Can't recommend enough!

The flavors are amazing and every bite is so tasty! The soup is like a Thai yellow curry with soft and dried noodles. The beef is extremely tender and delicious. The fried rice was also very tasty and the pork belly was great! Very nice staff, just opened in March

Love their noodles. It's authentic and had lot of favor. It's almost like the noodle that I had in Bangkok. .
