Flavor Galore!

I ordered the Singapore Noodle dish with tofu to go and was blown away by the flavors. The curry powder mixed with the lime gave the dish a pad thai feel with a delicious aftertaste. The restaurant itself smelled like spring rolls and the ambiance was so welcoming, part of me wish I had stayed to enjoy this delicious meal, but unfortunately I don’t live locally and had to jet. I will definitely be back to try more of Kati’s menu!

Pros: Surplus of tofu and mushrooms, Delicious chinese broccoli

Cons: Medium spice was a bit overwhelming , No cutlery to go

Excellent.

Well-balanced flavors and textures. Generous portions suitable for sharing. Looking forward to exploring the menu in greater detail over the next few months…

KaTi

Didn't have the best first-time experience. Ordered online for pick-up and got a text that I will get order updates. I never got any order updates after that, so after an hour, I decided to go in and ask. I then stood at the podium for about 5 mins before anyone even acknowledged me. I asked if my order was ready, and they just handed me the bag and walked away. Who knows how long it was just sitting there. Decided to eat in my car because I was so hungry, and there were no utensils or napkins inside. All of this already ruined my experience, and I wasn't even looking forward to the food at this point. Food wise, I got extra veggies, which I don't recommend as the veggies were ones that aren't originally in the dish, so they kind of threw off the taste. Also, the gravy was very salty. Noodles and tofu were cooked nicely. Not sure I'll come back, though. Just my one experience.

Pros: Lots of vegan options

Cons: No communication for online ordering., Not the best staff experience.

Solid Restaurant

I have really enjoyed the pineapple fried rice from here in the past as well as the pad Thai. I have had other dishes from here that missed the mark though. I also wish that they were fully vegan. That being said it is worth checking this place out.

So much flavor

Best Thai food I’ve had in Portland. Everything is incredible. Bit expensive but everything in Portland is expensive.

Really good Thai food

Kati is easily my favourite and go to Thai food in the city. I believe a majority of their dishes are vegan but it looks like you could add egg as an addition to some of the dishes. Service was great even if it was full. You can also order through a QR code which makes everything easier and faster.

Pros: Pineapple fried rice, Prik Khing/Kra Prao, Mango pandan sticky rice

100% Vegetarian Restaurant!

KaTi is easily my favorite Thai restaurant, & is also in my top five restaurants in general in Portland. While they do offer the option to add eggs to some dishes, the rest of their menu is vegan. I appreciate the flavorful, diverse options as well as the fact I don't have to question whether there are "hidden" ingredients such as fish sauce, oyster sauce, shrimp paste, etc. in their offerings. Thank you for being badass, KaTi! I wish I lived closer, but thankfully can order for delivery & occasionally visit the restaurant.

Perfect portion sizes

Good food. Not the best Thai food I’ve had but I’d definitely eat there again. I don’t like that you order by scanning a QR code and do it all online. The whole reason you go out for dinner is to be waited on/served. Food came out quickly and hot. Nobody checked on us after they delivered the food.

Pros: Portion sizes, Quick

Cons: Order online for dine in, Hard to find parking

KaTi still GoT'it

We got two appetizers and two entrees which was way too much food. Both apps were great, I loved the green curry. Spicy, big flavors, and still vegan. We were skeptical since this place changed owners. The menu changed to be more traditional Thai, but it's still great.

Pros: All vegan thai, Fast friendly service, Great flavors

Yum

I was impressed with the flavors here, the stir-fry I got was delicious. However, I was just a little bummed because there aren’t that many gluten-free options - they put soy sauce in a lot of things, including the curry, so what I could get was limited. But I tried something different and it was really tasty.

Pros: Delicious Thai

Cons: Not a lot of gluten-free options

Yum

Really tasty food. The appies were great. Left here having eaten wayyyy too much. Only thing I didn’t like about this place was that you had to order from your phone and pay and tip ahead of time. As someone who doesn’t have a zip code for the order system( not from USA) it made it difficult.
Also…. I like having a person to talk to, give recommendations and tip. The Computer thing is not my jam, and usually I love jam.

Delicious

Never disappointed with my food from Kati but once I ordered Pad Kra Prao, I never wanted to order anything else. It’s the best!
My only complaint is that they are often out of an ingredient (even before covid) and therefore will not offer any items on the menu that contain that item (ie. Basil) to maintain the integrity of the dishes.

Pros: Delicious

Cons: Parking is a nightmare, Often out of things

A lot of vegan options

I really enjoy it here, I am very glad they are reopened and look forward to trying more. I've only been here once or twice, I think what I got was good. I plan to try more items, some of what I ordered the 1st time seemed like a flavor overlap, but I like it.
I love their ordering menu you can +/- things in or out your meals, common allergens/sensitivities. That is a kind thought and must streamline for them, so a positive mutuality.

I want to note a reply to all who say it's $$$. Running a cafe in covid and recession etc must be very expensive. If you are willing to shell out for non-veg places, please don't say its too much at a veg spot. Food costs have gone up, as have many other things these days, don't blame cafes.

Good for Wildwood

Tonight, KaTi hosted a fundraiser for Wildwood Farm Sanctuary. I ordered the Garlic & Pepper Stir Fry with soft tofu, steamed broccoli, and jasmine rice in garlic sauce. I appreciate being able to order it not spicy. There was more tofu than broccoli, so I would have preferred more balance. Otherwise, it was very good.

Pros: choice of spiciness, big portions

If you are tired of the over sweetened, bland Thai food come here. Complex flavors balanced beautifully. Wok hai for days.

Good but expensive

Had an appetiser (the only one below $ 10) and one of the house entrees. Both were good, although for my taste the entree was a bit out of balance: too much tofu (fried in some basil-layer, pretty good), too few veggies. It was marked as spicy, the menu says "spicy is spicy", and it actually is spicy, so if you're not used to it I suggest going for medium spicy.

That said I do not feel like it deserves 5 stars: the music was so loud it was a struggle understanding the waitress; while I was still clearly eating I already was sort of coerced to pay; and the heat level of the food was regulated by simply adding dried chilli flakes instead of fresh chilis. For the rather high price (One cheap drink, appetizer, entree and tip will easily get you over $ 40) this could be improved.
