Hat Yai takes its name from the city in Southern Thailand near the Malaysian border, drawing on the street vendors, curry shops, and roti stalls found there. The Belmont location is a casual counter-service spot with indoor seating, a patio, and a full bar — the second of two Portland locations, alongside one on NE Killingsworth.
Roti is made fresh by hand daily, and the fried chicken has become the dish people talk about most, drawing consistent praise for its execution. Pad thai and other Southern Thai staples round out a menu suited to group dining, with a straightforward ordering system and service that keeps tables moving even when the room fills up.
