Girlfriend and I have been there twice now because it is a little down the ways from the art studio she goes to.

She loves the pumpkin and the massaman curry. She also tried the pra ram recently and loved it. I got the pad kee mow twice now.

I think about the pad kee mow so much. I get it with the pork belly and the flat rice noodles. It's so good, and has no right to be that flavorful and delicious and perfect. I dream of pad kee mow. I want to wake up next to the pad kee mow. I want to die with this pad kee mow.

Pad kee mow.

The service is also just always amazing. Thank you. Forever and always, from the bottom of my heart.

Rare to find a vegan larb so I was really excited. Excellent vegan choices with either tofu or soy curls for many dishes. The server offered to modify menu items to not use fish sauce. Cool and modern ambiance.

Ehhhhhh..... I would describe the atmosphere by nasty pink. I was brought here by my girlfriend. Upon entering I proceeded to slam my head into every ornament hanging as, although I am taller than most, they were hung far too low.

The food was mid.

The bathroom was the most disgusting bathroom I've been to in recent recollection.

We order take out here often and enjoy the food. The one caveat is they get the to go order wrong, every single time. Check your order!

I wanted to really like this place. The atmosphere is 10/10, super cute! They have a great menu, with a lot of options, but unfortunately the service and meals were not up to par. We were there on a Monday two weeks before Christmas and it was pretty busy. It took a long time to get our food, which I understand when it was busy, but they brought our food out all separately, and not all at once. We had a group of 5, and it took a long time for the last person to get their meal. All our food was cold by the time we got all our food. I ordered a special that I expected to be hot. The menu did not imply that the dish was more of a salad. The menu listed that the dish had shallots, but it had raw red onion. The vegetables were cold, the rice was cold, the shrimp was cold. I was pretty unhappy with my meal, and it was not enjoyable.

Excellent flavors in every single dish! The Kana Moo Kab was unexpectedly our favorite. The Chinese broccoli was cooked in an incredible sauce and paired with the pork belly, it made a veggie dish into a comfort food. The pineapple curry was also another fav, and something we haven’t seen on other Thai menus.

The atmosphere was eclectic and girly with fun music, artwork and feminine details even down to the plating.

Each dish was reasonably priced and portions were generous. I highly recommend getting a few dishes and sharing!

Vegetarian options: Almost all the dishes were available with tofu or soy curls as the protein!

All around delicious! Consistent, flavourful, order spicey if you dare!
A fav of those wanting authentic Northern Thai cuisine. Good portion size, come hungry. Cute cotton candy for kiddos or big kids, afterwards.😉

My first time trying this restaurant via Grubhub delivery. My food was delicious! Pad woon Sen portion could have been bigger bit other portions were reasonable. I wish they would add ordering notes and options for gluten free, vegan, egg free, soy free to their menu setup. I called immediately after ordering and they were able to accommodate my dietary restrictions. I loved their paper bottomed containers to reduce plastic! The rice was meh. I ordered vegetables only (no meat, no tofu) and loved the selection of veggies provided which included broccoli, green beans, zucchini, red bell pepper, cabbage, mushroom!

Vegetarian options: You can choose tofu or veggies only. You can call to request vegan if you're worried about fish sauce in the stir fries.

Dietary restrictions: I was able to call and request gluten free.

A year ago I would have given 5 stars but unfortunately my past several experiences have been very poor. I live in the neighborhood and this place was my go-to. But now, the new staff is rude, the kitchen often makes mistakes. They're rude to door dashers, and since I usually get my food to go, I get the same treatment. I just gave them one last try hoping that I just had a series of flukes but nope. At least it still looks pretty. Now my weekly order will be placed with Mai Thai up the road, they're much more consistent and polite.

Atmosphere is cold and sterile, the music is terrible and too loud and the food is truly awful. I had the worst Tom Kha I've ever tasted. Even the water had a foul taste which seemed bizarre given that Portland tap water is very good.

Used to absolutely love this place, especially the crab rangoon. Last couple months they must have changed chef or something because the food has taken a serious nose dive. Last order of red curry gave us food poisoning.

Stopped by for a quick dessert while I waited for an appointment and was given a tiny sliver of cheesecake that was supposed to cost 9 bucks as it stated on the menu. When given the bill, I told them the price was incorrect (they charged me $10) they said sorry and then proceeded to charge my card anyways for the wrong increased price.

Just dumbfounded by the reviews. Ordered the Spicy Eggplant. Literally not even the smallest suggestion of chile. Not even the ghost of a chile, or garlic for that matter. Completely bland and boring, as though they simply forgot to add every important spice or aromatic.

One of the best khao soi I’ve had. Definitely get it with the drum stick. The meat was melting off the bone and the broth was amazing. Service was a little slow
