Mee Sen Thai Eatery

This is one of my favorite Thai places in all of the U.S.The flavors are so authentic. We ordered:*moo ping - grilled pork*tom yum moo - pork tom yum*tom yum nam khon- creamy tom yum*cha yen - thai tea*nom yen - thai pink milkThe tom yums were umami with hints of sweetness, sourness, and spicyness. Just like in Thailand. The thai tea tasted so authentic. And I was surprised that they had nom yen! If you've never had it, it's milk with sala fruit syrup - sweet and has a slight fruity/bubble gum flavor.The staff were super nice. The restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating. The decor reminded me of Thailand :) From the seats to the sauce jars to the plates and the water cups.Highly recommend!!!

We tried this place on a sunny Saturday afternoon for lunch. It's a little easier to get reservations and the staff is very friendly and courteous. Food: We wouldn't revisit this place because of the food, we didn't like the food at all. It wasn't traditional thai food, it was influenced thai with some other flavors which we couldn't recognize. We were a big group and ordered couple of things, all the soups were really watery texture and the tom yum soup was felt like straight out of a ketchup bottle. The soups weren't thick and the remaining items like pad see ew, pad kee mao, kua gai everything was average. Portland has some really good thai places and this is definitely not there. Except for the salad rolls, everything was mediocre. Another thing what we observed was a little extra sweetness to everything but all of us felt it, maybe we aren't used to extra sweetness in food except for dessert, but that was our observation. Ambience of this place is pretty and in a nice spot.

So glad to have made it into this cute little restaurant right before closing! This place also had a decent sized patio out front but we decided to have a quick bite dining indoors. The food came to us literally within minutes of ordering, perfect for hungry selves. Each dish was piping hot, flavourful and was a nice balance between meat & veg. I particularly liked the pad se ew noodles - they were bouncy (not too mushy), broad and held up the sauce veryyy nicely!

First time here & the ambience was amazing! The staffs were very friendly and our waitress served us at a timely manner :) I ordered the shrimp salad roll as my appetizer, and the Yum Won sen noodles with seafood for my dinner entree. The peanut sauce was good! The fillings in the salad rolls were less when compared to the ones I would get from other Thai restaurants at $10, but it was still tastyyy. My noodles were bland, it lacked flavor and adding hot sauce wasn't enough to bring the flavor together. We ordered the Khao soi (medium spice) and the chicken was good, but overall, the dish lacked flavor. All in all, it was a good experience and will definitely give this place another try!

The service and ambience was great! Such kind and friendly people with a nice vibe when you step inside the restaurant. The food was pretty good although I would say it lacked a little bit of flavor compared to the Thai food I am used to eating. Overall this places gets 3 stars because the food was good enough but the service really carried the experience

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.

Mee Sen Thai is really good, the pad thai and egg rolls are great! The food comes out pretty quickly and the outside seating area is nice!

Great place for both take out + dine in! Highly recommend trying something new each time you stop by because everything on the menu is delicious, but don't forget to try the staples like salad rolls and pad see ew. Amazing alcoholic + non alcoholic drinks and fun atmosphere right on Mississippi.

Street park is difficult on a busy street on a weekday afternoon, I can imagine on a weekend it would be really difficult to find a spot. Stop by this eatery for some Thai. I'm finding a lot of Thai restaurants are catering to the western American taste buds, more sugar in foods. The wait person insisted the dishes were ordered were not very sweet ... it was sweet. We ordered Somtum Puu, green papaya salad and fried chicken wings with the sauce on the side to start. It was difficult to see what was in the food, the restaurant is dimly lit. We found couple of pieces of mashed pickled crab legs that I thought was some red cabbage. The fried chicken was nice and crispy, the sauce was tasty, I added some pickled peppers from the pepper pot. Entrees were Guay Tiew Rua with wide rice noodles and Goong os Sen. Guay Tiew Rua had a variety of morsels in the soup. Crispy fried pork skin, sliced pork, meat ball, Thai basil, rice noodles. The soup was on the was sweet side. There other dish Goong Ob Woon Sen - glass noodles with large plump shrimp, I like this dish the best, it was the least sweet tasting out of the salad and Guay Tiew Rua. We had for dessert Thai Sweet Sticky Rice with Custard. Sweetened sticky rice with a coconut pudding on the top, nice hardy dessert. All the dishes came out fast and fresh. If you like sweet flavors this is the place for you!

The restaurant is small but it gives off an authentic feel through the decor and set up. I enjoyed their food, most notable was the pad see ew (10/10) and the Thai Tea was the perfect amount of sweet. The service was great, our server checked in on us throughout. Crab wonton (8/10, a little too creamy for me but the crisp was perfect.), somtum papaya 8.5/10, tomyum soup 7/10, wings 10/10
