The Yummiest Thai in Portland

Paadee

★★★★☆ 4.1 (641) • $$

"I love Paadee. I've never had a bad meal or experience here. It's a great go to if you're going to see a movie at laurelhurst or just want some tasty quick Thai food in the area. Their drink menu is lovely. Service is always very friendly and helpful. Inside is lovely and they have outdoor seating most of the year as well. I typically get a noodle dish (pad see ew, pad Thai, Khao soi, etc) but I've tried several of their appetizers (papaya salad, chicken wings, laab, satay) as well. Everything is on point and you can get spice level to taste. I've never waited more than 15 minutes either."

E-Side Thai Cuisine

★★★★☆ 4.2 (45) • $

"Craving Pad Kee Mao, I headed to E-Side Thai since I was in this part of town for a doctor's appointment. Wow! The meal was delicious! Cooked fresh to order and served piping hot, the wide rice noodles were perfectly cooked and flavored. The chicken moist. And the broccoli and peppers crisp but tender. It totally hit the spot and I had leftovers for lunch the next day!They also have Pad Woon Sen, which is a stir fry dish with very thin, vermicelli noodles made from bean threads. It's one of my favorite dishes, often called glass noodles, and not many Thai places in Portland serve it anymore so I was thrilled to see it on the menu. Veggies include carrots, onions, scallions and tomatoes with egg and the noodles, it's a satisfying and filling dish. Others in line ordered the crab puffs and Panang curry and since they were sitting next to me at the communal picnic tables, I had food envy! Next time I'm definitely going to try the curry!Service is friendly and efficient. Prices a bit on the high side for Thai from a food truck, but since I got two meals out of it, it was worth the $12. E-Side Thai is a popular cart located in The Bite on Belmont, a hub of many fabulous carts making food decisions difficult. I know, a 1% problem! But still a problem! I'm always craving Thai so I love having this option on my rotation."

"Absolutely incredible all-vegan Thai fusion. My highest recommendation.Having seen the high rating, I know we had to check this place out. We got one of the last tables on a Tuesday evening at 6pm. Ordering is done by app. We got the Papaya Salad ($12) to start, and See Ew ($18) and Masala Linguine ($18) to share.The food came out very quickly and in generous portions:-The Papaya Salad was the most traditional of the dishes, balanced well between sweet, spicy and salty -- really nice stuff. -The See Ew was not a typical pad see ew, coming with fried tofu, absolutely divine candied tempeh, and bok choy, along with the usual flat wide rice noodles - phenomenal. -The Masala Linguine was also incredible, coming with all sorts of mixed wild mushrooms, onions, and linguine pasta, spiced beautifully by a masala curry paste. Also phenomenal.I can't say enough good things about the food. One of the best finds in PDX in recent years."

Thai Yo Sushi

★★★★☆ 3.6 (43)

"Holy !! Who would have thought such an amazing sushi/Thai joint would be found in mollala of all places. The food around mollala/Canby/Oregon city is pretty mediocre at best to down right terrible. We moved into area last year (2021) and this place was always closed due to cOvid or holiday break. They just weren't open and we gave up and forgot about it. The kids were with GMA so we had a date night and wife wanted sushi. I didn't want to drive into Portland for good sushi and then we remember this place. The place didn't disappoint. The food was so f'n tasty and the sushi was fire! The spicy tuna, made with I think kimchi hot sauce, was probably the best spicy tuna I've ever had. I've been chasing a great spicy tuna roll since a place I visited in virgina 10 years ago. I've lived all over the country including San Diego. Thai orchard in Vancouver has a good one, but this place serves the best I've had in a decade. If this place could bring a in a coco roll (Coconut shrimp tempura, salmon, cream cheese, avocado, shredded coconut, pineapple sauce from Mio Sushi). Holy shit I wouldn't go anywhere else."

Buranko Cafe & Bar

★★★★★ 4.5 (236) • $$

"This place is honestly pretty underrated - we went here on a Saturday dinner around 6:30pm aka supposedly prime dinner time and there were only 2 tables occupied. We got to sit in one of the nice hammock-like chairs and ordered 2 cocktails and 2 entrees to share for the 2 of us. We tried:Kyoto Fog - nice matcha flavor and the alcohol did not taste too strong. It was a nice touch to seePinkitini - very floral and fruity, light and refreshing drink with lychee but the lychee was not sweet at all (perhaps a bit watered down) for some reason.Million Dollar Shrimp Tom Kha Ramen - sooooo delicious! Coconut lemongrass soup with noodles that were just al dente and fresh shrimp. It is to no surprise this is one of the most popular dishes on the menuMoo Kra Tiem - garlic pepper pork. I do like the grilling of the meat and the spicy sauce, but the rice was way too mushy so that was a miss. This is one of their seasonal specials.Service is good as water refills were apparent and the servers were fairly attentive to take dishes away as needed. I would recommend this place if you want a place that serves good Thai/Korean inspired food and want a casual, not overly crowded dining experience."

Asian Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4.3 (83) • $

"I like the food here overall, but the hours are strange. Many time when I've tried to come here they are closed. Their hours are scratched off the window, so there is no way to tell when they are supposed to be open. I have figured out they are closed Mondays. Also seems they close at other random times. Even though the food is decent, there are so many other choices for Asian type food in West Linn. Driving over here to eat and having the business constantly closed gets frustrating. When I am able to get in here to eat, the staff are sometimes friendly and other times somewhat rude."

Siam Umami

★★★★★ 4.9 (101) • $$

"This was an experience from the moment you step into the intimate space until the dessert is served. I savored every bite. The service was excellent and the staff so friendly they actually took time to get to know you and talk to you about your meal. I was impressed that they were able to offer me a substitute due to allergies. Although the pork belly was melt in your mouth experience leave room for the taro crème brûlée. The food was a full sensory experience that was unbelievably delicious. The drink menu was filled with great options as well. This is going on my list of great date night recommendations and was also a wonderful place for my dining alone evening"

Pad Thai Kitchen

Thai Peacock

★★★★☆ 4.1 • $$

"We were looking for lunch options after the zoo and found Thai Peacock on Yelp. We were seated immediately. We got the Kaeng Panang curry with Chicken, Basil Fried Rice & Crispy Trout, and Pad Thai with Chicken. We loved all 3 items we got. The Basil fried rice with Crispy trout is such a unique item and we loved it (we also loved that there were no bones to deal with). I am not usually a fan of curry, but loved their Kaeng Panang curry, it also came with flavored rice that we loved. Each item was a good size for the price."

Thai Carnation

★★★★☆ 4.3 (257) • $$

"Food here is always fresh, flavorful and delicious! The layers of sweet, spice, sour and sweet are a party in your mouth! My favorite is Pad Kee Mao, which is Drunken Noodles on their menu. It's my go to dish when I'm craving Thai because I love the wide rice noodles and flavor components. Their version is light on the heat so I ask for chili oil and add heat to please my palette. They are also light on the protein so I ask for extra chicken for $3 more. One order is then enough for dinner and lunch the next day. Big open space with plenty of booths and tables. They have a full bar. Service is friendly. They also do a lot of takeout. Have their own parking lot making it super convenient. I'm always going from Portland to Hood River and back, and Thai Carnation is often where I stop for dinner to eat there or takeout to enjoy at home."

9 Dang Fine Thai

★★★★☆ 4 (452) • $$

"Food is unparalleled to other Thai spots around Hillsboro. Nice and quiet, never need to wait, friendly staff, and amazing food. I've tried their fried rice, multiple noodle dishes, specialities, and desserts. Nothing has been bad so far and very tasty. I'm here almost every other day while I'm in Hillsboro."

Kinn Kao Northern Thai kitchen

★★★★☆ 4.2 (30) • $$

"Excellent new menu in a long time appealing bar. I've always enjoyed the vibe here: the owner of the upstairs restaurant renovated the first floor that now includes lots of mirrors and cool seating. The large back room and adjoining nook are ideal for socializing.The Happy Hour menu rocks. They tout the fried chicken and it was very good while their version of Pad Thai is excellent. A friend ordered a dish with black rice and it's now on my must try list.Last week I returned a Thai Iced Tea at another restaurant as it tasted off. Here, it's one of the best I've had. In sum, this simple staple drink is not the same wherever you go.The first cocktail menu drink listed, a Thai Mojito made with coconut rum, was super delicious and ample.Love this place."

Db’s Kitchen

★★★★★ 4.7 (69)

"For pure "hospitality" alone, I'm giving Db's Kitchen and Zumi [the owner] five-stars! This is a small mom'n'pop restaurant that serves up some savory tasting Vietnamese dishes as well as a few Thai items. It's not a huge restaurant, but it was chill and accommodating to say the least. I first did takeout on an icy and cold rainy November day, and still remember that first impression of this place. It was memorable to me, because I was picking up for takeout, only when I was leaving my car would not start. But more about that in a minute:I have since gone back to dine-in a few times, and I really enjoy their food even more when it comes out nice and hot! Here's a few consistent menu items that I've tried:- Egg Rolls w/ pork ($7.50) - A normal, crispy, tasty egg. roll appetizer. - Tom Kha ($8.50): This is something I really enjoy on a cold day too, and their version definitely hits the spot! But even on a hot day, it must be more aromatic and flavorful, I bet! I can smell it and taste it now! - Papaya Salad ($15): They've got a clean version that I like! In other words, I'm a wimp and I like my papaya salad mild, NOT hot-spicy. I prefer the OG pickled taste of it! It's just comforting and refreshing! ‐ Pho Dac Biet or spicy beef noodle soup ($16): Oh deal Lord! What a mean bowl of noodles 'n' spice, and everything nice! This noodle soup bowl is nose opening and sinus clearing, that's for sure! Loved it!- Pho Ga ($14.50): I enjoy the hot broth and the nice slices of chicken breast. I know chicken pho can be hard to bring out flavors, but their bowls are good and flavorful, as it should be. After you've taken a few sips of the bowl, add a little bit of that chili and hoisin. Unless you've done that already, then add more! No need for sriracha imo! Back to my car being stuck there. While I waited at a table, away from the cold, I had to call for a tow truck that was hours away from helping. While waiting for the truck to arrive, Zumi had shown care for my situation. She accommodated me with water and a snack sample of a bowl of hot soup. That was totally unexpected and very kind of her. Thank you Zumi for your warm hospitality! So, that's just a few things I've tried, but I'll be back again to show support! The tow truck never showed up, btw. And it was near closing time for the kitchen, so I called for an Uber. Picked up my car the next day, and I still ordered takeout again. I mean, it's because their dishes are savory good! It's simple Vietnamese/Thai food made right, and definitely worth a try."

Mee Sen Thai Eatery

★★★★☆ 4 (569) • $$

"I came here for dinner with my friends one night and had a great time. Parking was a bit difficult to find here as the street is very tight, so we all had to drive around for a bit and eventually found a spot in the neighborhoods. If you're coming here with friends, I highly recommend to carpool if you can! The inside of the place is very cute and there's upstairs and downstairs dining. I was tempted to go here after hearing that they offer many Thai dishes (such as street foods) that you don't typically see at restaurants in Portland. My friends and I ordered the classics: pad thai, pad see ew, curry, and larb, but we also tried the hoy tod, a Thai pancake with mussels and scallion. Everything was phenomenal. Portions were pretty good and the food came out fast. I loved the hoy tod, especially. I would love to come back and try some of their other dishes! Service was also very kind."

Thai Sky Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4.4 (96) • $

"Thai Sky is a wonderful addition to the neighborhood. We ordered online and did pickup - the food was ready at the stated time, and packed so that it was still fresh-out-of-the-wok hot when it made it home.Portions were quite large, so our order turned out to be meals for two spread over multiple days. Everything reheated beautifully.My only heads-up for visitors is to point out that Thai Sky shares a smallish parking lot with Pizzicato next door, and the layout is a one way U shaped lot with narrow parking spaces, so if you have a choice of vehicles, lean towards the smaller one.The dining area is very nice - I'm looking forward to a time when eating indoors becomes possible again. In the meantime, this is a terrific spot for take out."

"This friendly and beautiful restaurant is a favorite. Great for date nights, elegant but understated family dinners, or for a peaceful solo meal.The service is usually excellent, and the food is as visually appetizing as it is delicious. My favorite dishes are Pad See Ew and Pad Prik King. The decor is pleasant and relaxing.I highly recommend Taste of Bangkok in Happy Valley."

Moonlight Thai

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (24)

"I have to imagine that anything less than 5 stars is just due to decor and the "Chinese food yelp effect" cause HOT DAMN!We went in and had some amazing pad Thai and fried rice. Portions were generous, service was quick and friendly, and the prices were more than fair. The flavor and texture on the fried rice was absolutely perfect. I can't wait for the next time I get to stop in and enjoy a meal!"

Thai Noon Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.7 (330) • $$

"Food is always great and service is usually great. But this past visit was hilarious. I had to damn near beg for 2 forks and 2 napkins. I ordered a full entree 26. Pad Thai and asked for silverware and napkins, and they literally gave me 1 fork, and 1 napkin. I said "can I get a few forks, and a few napkins?", and he gave me 1 more fork, and 1 more napkin I dine here frequently, so that was quite peculiar."

KIN Thai Twist

★★★★☆ 4.3 (7)

"I had the pad se ew for dinner at a Tuesday market recently. Overall a tasty meal, not too dry, but I'd personally like a bit more sauce. Some pieces of chicken had a bit more pepper than others. I went early in the dining hour so my wait wasn't terrible, but they aren't the speediest. Friendly order taker. Asked how spicy I wanted it. The menu is more limited than you might expect. First experience was good and I'd go again."

Al's Thai Food

★★★★★ 4.5 (184) • $$

"Tiny hole in the wall w/ all the classic Thai favorites. Decent portions for decent price but wouldn't say cheap. The drunken noodles were good, as well as a Mongolian beef special they had which was kind of a Chinese style stir fry. They also had a noodle soup that was like a pho. My brother asked for extra chili oil and the guy said "be careful" but he still added them all and then ended up puking in the parking lot. The seafood mango curry wasn't my fav tho, it was all just the kinda cheap frozen seafood and the mango wasn't ripe & no mango flavor in the curry.It is basically a little shack attached to a gas station, mostly to go but they have a couple little covered tables out front."

Chick & Pig Thai Street Food

★★★★★ 4.9 (50) • $$

"Tried this place again, finally. This time I got papaya salad, sticky rice and pork skewers. I got the papaya salad 5 stars spicy, which was actually fairly close to Thai spicy. Loooved it. It was so tasty. And spicy! The pork skewers were good too. I shared them with my partner."

Camas Thai Cuisine

"This small, family owned Thai spot deserves your business! It might not be the very best Thai food you'll ever have, but it's so nice to have local Asian food options in Camas, and you can't beat the price for what you get! Quality food, great portions, fast, friendly service - what more can you ask for? Help keep them in business and give them a try! And don't forget to ask for their Daily Specials - can't beat $6.95 for a pile of good food."
