Wonton Soup when you're not feeling well. I did have to add shrimp. As it used to have back in the day..Can definitely tell chefs have changed or something. The pork wontons were falling apart the shrimp was not as big before and soft. It used to have a leafy bok choy and it's plain now.oh and these "crab" cream cheese wontons. The crab is imitation. No thanks. There are other photos from a previous visit. That's time the food was good. This time not so much. read more

One of what could be considered the best hole-in-the-wall Lao restaurants in Portland, you don't come for the aesthetics. If I had to order only one item here it would be the crying tiger. The meat is good on its own and the sauce kicks it up a notch! Unfortunately it wasn't as good at my most recent visit with the meat being too tough and rice too dry but they could've been having an off day -- it was my friend's first time and he said Farmhouse's was better. I've also had the papaya salad with sticky rice, chicken drunken noodle, chicken pad thai, khao piek, khao poon, and tom kar. The drunken noodle was ordered with a level 4/5 spice and it delivered a kick. My boyfriend prefers the boat noodles over the khao poon. I've ordered the khao piek twice now and I like how thick the soup is when it comes out but that does not last long and thins out as it is eaten and mixed. We ordered seafood tom kar and they gave us chicken instead which wasn't a big deal until they charged us the seafood pricing of $19.95 (not listed on the menu) so be aware of that. I also ordered the tom kar thinking it was like a tom kha but it is definitely not -- literally just coconut milk with no additional flavor and I would not get it again or recommend their Thai dishes (besides the crying tiger). It would be nice if the menu had item numbers labeled with the pictures as it was a little hard to tell which picture paired with which item and there is no pricing. They updated their menu since the last time I went and still no item numbers corresponding to pictures. The menu is now in a horizontal layout in a binder, which I find hard to use. Lunch menu is one sheet front and back with some menus having pictures and some without. read more

I ordered Seafood Tofu soup and Fried Tofu to try something different than my regular Drunken Noodle. The soup did not have much seafood but full of corn starch. Had to order another appetizer Bbq pork to fill my stomach. Not a good choice for Thai food. read more

Drive by this place regularly & figured it was a breakfast joint th eventually try out. Read other reviews and saw a real Thai-Asian fusion eating opportunity. There's a surprising selection breadth from tradional Thai fare to select chef specialties. Great egg rolls- thoroughly cooked, not overwhelmed with cabbage. Tried the seafood fried rice and ground pork basil topped with a fried egg. Large portions, customized heat level, friendly & prompt service, reasonable pricing. Better flavors, price, & selection compared to other local "classier" Thai restaurants. read more

Love their Lao style Papaya Salad w/ Fried Chicken Skins, Kaopiek Noodles and Pepper Salted Shrimp. We visit often and food is always tasty, cooked fresh and doesn't disappoint. read more

I love their basil fried rice here! So good and flavorful. Another favorite is the pineapple fried rice and the pumpkin curry. The fried to u with the side of sauce or fresh salad rolls are also great if wanting an appetizer! Service is typically pretty fast here about 15 minutes for a to go order for 2-3 people read more

Honey Jar is IYKYK for eastsiders. It's an unassumingly place located in a strip mall with plenty of tables inside so it's never crazy packed. I always go with either the Crying Tiger, Boat Noodle Soup or Khal Peak Noodle. Pair that with Lao style papaya salad and sticky rice and you got a combo right there. Service has always been really good everytime I've been there. read more

Really old neighborhood strip plaza, really old interior, matches the area. Cold inside ~ employees in sweatshirts; had to keep the jackets on. Dishes ~ overly sweet & salty, like granulated sugar & table salt flavor. Unusually watery too. Vegetable stir fry was mostly bean sprouts and broccoli. C'mon. Service was minimal like fast food take out. Prices Pearl District high. But it is not the Pearl. read more

I love coming here for their chicken curry noodles called Khaopoun I think that's how you spell it idk. Their papaya salad is good, & their boat noodles with pork is good too! If you come here don't just get pad thai noodles smh! That's like asking for chicken teriyaki at a Chinese restaurant! So basic lol people will stare at you! Try other things! Expand your taste palette. read more

It's a good restaurant. Their Thai Boat is on point. I also liked their calamari! I usually don't order calamari at restaurants but it was super soft and tender! Would recommend to others. Place is always clean and friendly and welcoming people. read more

One of the best Pad Thais I've ever had. Service was friendly and prompt. I'll be going back here!

Best Thai food in the area. No place has better Thai style spicy papaya salad. Food and service is always great.

This little local business deserves a Pat on the back. Good food and excellent service!

So delicious and always happy to eat there, many flavors and spices. Sometimes will have new specials & it's enjoyable place to be. read more

Honey Jar Cafe - Panang Curry Ginger Salmon - Thai Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Well well well thai food, we meet again... can we agree that this will end bad for both of us come the morning. Why do I have to get such spicy food to where people ask me if I am having a stroke.. why does my green curry (amazing by the way, the curry was so flipping good) come out looking like red curry, speckled with pain flakes.. why must I say "give me a thai ten" well here they gave me the max, and it was hot. I think I met my match. The pad kee mao, my staple was a quick snag, and those oily noodles hold that spice like no other, so usually I go with a solid high middle eating so others can enjoy the food. Pad thai, the 'bean n cheese burrito' of thai food, we all know it, and I double down on noodles. Check this, the lad thai was some of the best I've had in a while. Dont let the location, the outside, or the neighborhood discourage you.. this place is the cats meow read more

Honey Jar Cafe - Staple - Thai Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Honey Jar is an especially nice neighborhood restaurant with a lovely ambiance and good Thai food.

Good Thai food with great service. We started with dumplings then shared fried rice. The space is huge with pool tables and video gaming on the way to the bathrooms. read more

The food was bland with hints of a burnt taste. The shrimp was overcooked. The vegetables were bitter. The noodles were on point texture wise but lacked flavor. If I had only ordered a thai iced tea it would have been a five star review. I ordered to ho but would not have wanted to eat in. It felt chaotic with a delivery being made while I was picking up my food. Staff was friendly. Another draw back; to go food was served in a styrofoam container. Disappointing! read more

Ordered the chicken pad Thai and beef salad. Both Meats were chewy and dishes lacked flavor. The beef salad came with way more meat than salad. The Proportion was way off. We may come back to try the papaya salad but not sure if we will. Best to get your bang for your buck at the food carts. read more

A good little Thai place in a strip mall across from a plaid pantry. Been here many years. At least 10 since I moved into the neighborhood. Was coming here when it still had fresh doughnuts and Thai food. My go to place for Thai that is so close to home. Make sure to order the salad rolls with tofu if you are allergic to Shrimp. A good business for take out. Nice people here! read more

Great place that serves great food! Crying Tiger is a MUST here!! Every time we dine in this place has been a good experience. Big fan!!

Honey Jar. I use to get bagel dogs at the Honey Jar during lunch in high school. Granted that was back in the late 80s. Now I get Thai for lunch, thankfully I am no longer in high school. The Honey Jar provides quick prompt service! I enjoy their Tom Kha Gai soup, worked myself up to medium, and their shrimp salad rolls. That's my go to meal! Solid. Their Pad Thai is good, and always the first thing I try when going to a new Thai restaurant. Our lunch group orders a variety of dishes and everything has been good. I am not going to go 5 star because nothing has blown off my socks. It's all solid. Like I said it's convenient, quick and tasty. Btw, it's a great place to host a party! Large back area where the video poker is... we have hosted a couple events here. Great buffet and drinks!!!! read more

Ordered Pad Thai with chicken, Thai Red Curry with chicken, Chicken Satay, and Potstickers through Uber Eats. All foods tasted good and had plenty of flavors. The Pad Thai was tasty and fresh. I only wished it was made with all-white chicken. Regardless, it was definitely good. Thai Red Curry was good, but a bit on the greasy/oily side. Good flavor and large portions of curry and rice. Chicken Satay and Potstickers were full of flavors and yummy. read more

Good, consistent food, good food, and a nice family runs it. Can also accommodate large groups.

Great Thai food! The owner and staff are super sweet. Yellow curry is the best! Can't go wrong.

Although I miss the donuts...Honey Jar still churns out flavorful dishes. There's just something about maple bars and Pad Thai that made this joint stand out. Lol. Food ordered were yellow curry, beef salad and pad kee mao. The portions were good sizes except the curry bowl seemed kinda dinky in comparison but was enough for 2 peeps. Maybe it was the bowl it was served in. Aw well. Still yummy in my tummy w some leftovers. They now have indoor/outdoor seating, video poker and I think I saw a pool table. Congrats on the expansion! read more

Grub hub order. Great dumplings and fast delivery service! Friend rice was pretty good!

Love Honey Jar! This is one of our go-to spots when we are craving Thai food. Portions are huge, and prices are very reasonable. The dishes here are flavorful and very consistent, which is the main reason we continue to come back. A lot of other places we have tried, it has been hit or miss (good one day and horrible on a different day). Definitely recommend this place. read more

Cute little Thai restaurant located in a strip mall. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. They have outdoor seating, indoor seating a bar area with a pool table and video lottery. It's located on the route 21 bus line. I went there today to order a Crying Tiger (SEUA RONG HAÏ) it was very delicious so I ordered another to take back to the hotel and eat later. The flavors were complementing one another. The sweet and sour along with the spicy and citrus were on point. We will definitely be returning. read more

Icecream Frozen yogurt Soup Salad Sandwhich Donuts Coffee Burgers Bubble tea Thai food (noodles, curry, fried rice) Count-em TEN different items...a jack of all trades, a master of none. Don't expect the best thai food or bubble tea (which sometimes takes 25' for them to cook the tapioca :-/ ) but it's decent enough. They're friendly, and often times they throw in a free donut with a lunch entrée (likely because they'll be thrown out the next day if they don't) Give it a shot if you can't find a better source of the above 10 items in your locale! read more

I have been frequenting Honey Jar for the last decade, and even though I moved farther out to the outskirts of Gresham, I still stop by to get food from my favorite Thai spot. The biggest things that set apart this shop are their freshly made foods across the board, ranging from Pad Thai, noodles, or even seafood. The serving sizes are huge and can be used as a family style meal if you want to share! The prices for everything is very fair as well and sums up the whole experience. The flavor of the food is amazing and somehow fulfills my western palate as well as my wife's more traditional style as well. Other great things about the restaurant would be the selection of Thai beers, and the ability to rent out their side room for occasions. read more

A friend recommended this place and I'm so glad they did. Very friendly staff and such tasty food. It's my go to place for local Thai food.

Little hole in the wall Thai place. Pad Thai k had today was awesome and their pricing is very reasonable for the portion size too. Fast friendly service as well. Recommend! read more

I ordered this through UberEats and was incredibly disappointed. They have a 4.7 star rating on Uber and we ordered the Pad Thai, Yellow Curry, and an order of Egg Rolls. The food tasted okay, definitely not a contender up against places like Thai Terrace or Wild Tiger, but not so bad I couldn't eat it. One of our drinks didn't show (driver said they only gave him one but he could easily be lying and just kept it for himself.) The flavor of the curry was lacking and the curry itself separated easily and was runny. The potatoes could have cooked a little longer but it was still edible. The curry was about a half size compared to what you normally get at a Thai restaurant. The pad thai was pretty dry and looked/tasted like it sat out for longer than the drive home. I added some pad thai sauce myself after it arrived. The flavor before I added anything wasn't really anything special, and tasted like it was either burned a little bit, cooked in a dirty pan, or was missing something entirely. The egg rolls were okay. Not bad, not spectacular. I woke up this morning with nausea and a stomach ache, same with my partner. Probably won't be ordering from here again. :/ on the plus side, they are open late so if you're willing to compromise on flavor and risk the stomach ache for convenience's sake they have that going for them. read more

I love coming here, the food and service has always been fantastic. I was here this past weekend with my friend for lunch and I noticed there are no prices on the menu. What's up with that? That has become a big turn off. I want to know how much I'm paying for something prior to buying it. Please put the prices on your menu. read more

Oh my goodness I'm so happy for Honey Jar! Every time I order here it all the food is D E L I C I O U S ! Tastiest asian cuisine I've ever laid my taste buds on.

The food is pretty dang good! Love the basil chicken, and the crying tiger is a favorite for everyone

Favorite Thai food in Portland. The staff is so friendly and helpful. Always smiling. Potstickers and Curry are my favorite!!

Came back recently and changed the rating from a 3 to a 4. We dined in this time because it wasn't as busy. We had a friend who already was seated. We ordered our food and was served promptly although they forgot our utensils until we asked for it. The portions are pretty good sizes, and the food was really enjoyable as well. My last review had concerns of customer service but I think it might have been due to the time of day and if they had people ordering drinks at their bar/counter. read more
