The food was flavorful and rich. It was so hot and fresh but the time I walked to the office I still had to let it cook a bit. It's a nice place to come and eat outside on a nice day. Not sure why the low score because this place is awesome and the device is excellent. Even on a busy day I didn't have to wait long. So far I've had the Thai tea, pad kee mow, Tom Kah soup and egg rolls all wonderful!

The beef and potato are rich and tender, and they pair supremely well with the crunchy pickled veggies and paratha (pancake), which also has a light coconut flavor. Eat this during autumn at one of the central tables surrounding the fire pit and you'll transcend.

A decent option if you are curious to sample Burmese cuisine inside a bustling food cart pod, but…read morethe depth of flavor didn't quite match what I expected. Coconut Chicken Noodle Soup (2/5): At $15, this bowl was fairly disappointing. The menu photo showcases a much more generous protein portion, including two whole eggs and hearty chicken chunks, which was not what I actually received. Despite being described as a rich and creamy broth, the soup itself felt quite thin. On the positive side, the noodles had a great, satisfying chew, but their flavor profile leaned plain against the lighter broth. Logistics Tip: Located inside the Hawthorne Asylum food cart pod, dedicated on-site parking is scarce, but safe and accessible street parking can easily be found in nearly any direction in the surrounding area. Orders are assigned a buzzer pager, allowing you to wander the area while your food is prepared.

Located in Hawthorne Asylum, Thai Thantawan serves delicious, piping hot, and authentic Thai food…read more That day I was craving anything with string beans, so I went with the garlic string bean dish with chicken. It wasn't long before my food was ready. It came in an eco-friendly box, but I would have preferred a reusable plastic container since the food was nearly burning hot to the touch and the condensation was causing the box to be flimsy. The portion size was huge, and I have a pretty big appetite. There was plenty left for another portion, and I was so glad we brought our Yeti cooler with us on our trip. That day was a travel day for us, so whatever I didn't end up finishing I bagged and put on ice in our cooler. The dish itself was well-balanced, and I could tell it was made with love. The ratio of protein and veggies to rice was solid, especially since I love having a bite of rice with each flavorful scoop of meat/veggies. There were garlic pieces sprinkled on top as well, which added to the mouthfeel of the dish. I mainly regret only having Thai Thantawan once during our trip, as I am now salivating during this review. I will definitely revisit this spot the next time we're in PDX, and I'd love to order a beer to go with whatever I order next. I didn't want to be basic and order noodles (plus those are harder to heat up as leftovers), but I would love to try their pad kee mao. We will be back!

The broccoli and bokchoy tasted fresh and crispy and I wasn't a huge fan of the texture of the chicken just because it was chicken breast and it was kind of hard in some parts because it was really thin, but I would probably try other things on the menu for next time.

White Elephant Asian Fusion on Mississippi is such a great addition to the neighborhood. The food…read morewas fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. You can tell they put thought into balancing traditional Asian flavors with creative fusion dishes, and everything we tried was delicious. The service was friendly and attentive, and the staff made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. The atmosphere is cozy, modern, and perfect for either a casual lunch or dinner with friends. The portions were generous for the quality, and every dish came out hot and well-prepared. It's refreshing to find a place that delivers on both flavor and consistency. If you're on Mississippi Avenue and looking for a spot with great food, excellent service, and a relaxed vibe, White Elephant Asian Fusion is definitely worth checking out. I'll absolutely be back to try more of the menu. If you want it to sound more like a seasoned Yelp reviewer--with a bit more personality and specific dish recommendations--I can do that too.

If I lived near here, I would eat here weekly. The coconut shrimp and cream cheese wontons were crisp and delicious, too. The ambiance is simply, spacious and sufficient - if you are in the area, stop by this place, it won't disappoint.

My husband enjoyed the Chicken Tikka Masala and a lamb dish. I had the Shahi Paneer and the Channa Masala - meals were accompanied by perfectly prepared basmati rice.

But I didn't love the meat. Something about the texture felt off to me that I can't quite put my finger on. Maybe a little undercooked. The flavor felt kinda game-y and bland. I dunno. Maybe this is how they are supposed to taste. Just my experience. The chrysanthemum iced tea was great. Very refreshing. Kinda floral, a little sweet, served cold. I didn't like the black sesame rice krispy treat though. It felt kinda dense and stale, not fresh, light and chewy. I was excited for it. Oh well.

The only reason I took a star off is because even ordering their most mild it was still fairly spicy. Just be warned. But I'd definitely come back!

We found Kelly Thai and Lao by their food truck off of Powell and 174th st. I read a review that…read morementioned that they had the best Thai in the neighborhood and they were right!! First of all, the prices are fair. Our bill was $53 for 3 main entries, and two appetizers. The food was extremely fresh and we were given a choice of hotness on a scale from 1-5, which is always a good sign when ordering Thai. I loved the green curry, which had many vegetables and protein. No complaints at all! I am so happy that this place is so close to my home, I have a feeling we will regularly be visiting. Not to mention, service was friendly. Many people showed up to order after me, so I hope that they are getting the business they deserve! Try it! My only regret is that I didn't take pictures!
