Because I will be back. We started off strong with a table full of appetizers. It was one of those "everyone grab something" moments, and listen... I had been up since 6am, starving, and completely forgot to take pictures until it was basically too late. But trust me, that alone should tell you how good it was. Crab puffs? Gone. Creamy, crispy perfection. Fried spring rolls? Devoured without hesitation. But that salt and pepper shrimp?? LISTEN. It tasted like somebody's grandma was in the back cooking with love. I could've eaten that as my full meal 10 times over and still asked for more. Then came the angel wings... OMG. At this point I was already full, borderline mad about it, because I wanted to keep eating. And I'm not usually a leftovers person....but these? Plus that one last shrimp sitting there? Oh no... they came home with me. And the best part? EVERYONE loved their food. No misses at the table. If you're debating, don't. Just go. And go hungry.

We arrived in Portland from California and chose this restaurant because our hotel was nearby, and…read moremy family and I love Thai food. We came on Friday, 9/25, with my parents and my son, hoping to enjoy some fried rice and a nice meal together. We were seated quickly, and the restaurant was not busy. Ken took our order, but from the beginning, his attitude toward us felt unwelcoming. I noticed that he seemed much friendlier and more welcoming toward other customers, which made me uncomfortable and left me wondering if we were being treated differently because we are Asian. I tried to ignore it because we were hungry and just wanted to enjoy our meal. However, my son then told me that he did not like the taste of the complimentary water. As a mother, I went back to our rental car and brought in a half-full bottle of Smartwater that we already had with us. When I came back into the restaurant, Ken rudely told me, in front of other customers, that outside drinks were not allowed. I explained that my son did not like the taste of the water they provided, but Ken insisted that we purchase a drink from the restaurant. I also pointed out that there was no sign on the entrance or anywhere that we could see stating that outside drinks were not allowed. Even if this is the restaurant's policy, it could have been communicated politely and respectfully. What bothered me most was not the policy itself, but the way I was treated. I felt singled out and embarrassed in front of other customers. I also noticed that Ken appeared much warmer and friendlier toward customers of other ethnicities, which made the experience even more uncomfortable for my family. Ken, if you are the owner or manager, I hope you take this experience seriously and remind your staff that every customer deserves to be treated with the same respect and courtesy, regardless of their background or appearance. You never know what someone may already be going through, and a little kindness can make a big difference. The other employees we interacted with were much nicer and welcoming. Unfortunately, because of this experience, I would rather support other local restaurants when visiting Portland. I have also attached photos showing that there was no visible notice at the entrance regarding a no-outside-drinks policy. I still gave him a 15% tip coz my family and I are not like that.

I thought Esan Thai looked the most promising. I asked which curries could be made vegan, and was told they all could. I opted for Mussaman curry. It was ready fairly quickly.

This is now the sixth food cart I've tried in Troutdale Station, and I've been happy with every…read moresingle one. I recently had a pretty good experience at the Esan Thai food cart with the pineapple curry with chicken. After spending several days hanging out with my cousin who is "just not a curry person," I needed to have some good curry. Ideally, Thai food is best when shared with enough people to order curry, Pad Thai, fried rice, Satay, and dessert, but, if I had to pick just one thing, it's always curry. This cart had a wide selection of all my favorite curries, including pineapple, green, red, yellow, massaman, and panaeng, so it was hard to choose, but I ultimately went with pineapple. For $15, I thought the portion of curry was decent enough (about a quart), although the side of rice was only about half a cup. Still, I was able to make it work by letting the rice soak in the curry for several minutes before eating it. The fish sauce flavor was barely discernable, which is how I like it. I only really noticed it on one particular basil leaf. The chicken was perfectly cooked and marinated in the curry. The vegetables were fresh and delicious, but I just wished there was more of them. Customer service was friendly but not over the top friendly. It only took about six or seven minutes for my order to be ready. Overall this is the most legit Thai food spot I've found in the area so far, so I would definitely stop by again to try some of their other curries.
