Amazingly good! My son who loves spicy veggie food says the red curry was perfect. I loved the shrimp pad thai ... fresh and delicious. Maybe the best Thai place we’ve been to, and we love Thai.

Eric Schrader

Love vibe here in Old Town . Start w/Tod Mun and Wontons . Go-to entrees: Red curry , drunken noodle , and pineapple fried rice are dang good. Staff tend to speed thru service. Slow them down.

Stacy Bo Bacy

Sometimes you want moderately priced , decently tasty Thai with slow but friendly service in a dimly lit location. That’s this place.

Brook Shelley

Mm spicy soups . The Tom Yum is a favorite- caution though, spicy is SPICY . Good way to wake up for your afternoon. Often very crowded

Abi Olvera

We had great service here. The egg roll appetizers are cheap and delicious. Two egg rolls cut in half with amazing sauce. It has peanut bits in it though.

Xenagogue

I have been here well over 100 times. Food is more consistently good than most Thai locations, and service is usually quick and gregariously friendly .

Joe Taulbee

Food is delicious. The spiciness scale is on the spicier side, so if you're not adventurous, scale back the number you choose.

Tim In The House

Good ambiance, good food choices, great flavor. If you really like food hot, get extra spicy .

Joe Kraxner

The staff is awesome and very friendly ...oh yeah, the food it great too! One of my PDX favorites.
