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.

The only issue was the Thai iced tea which was wayyy to sweet. Everything else was great. Service (5/5): Staff were helpful. Food took about 15 minutes to come.

Ambiance (4/5): In a bit of a sketch strip mall but the ambiance inside the restaurant itself is really nice and clean and has solid vibes with nice ceiling decor.

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.

Their vegetables though are absolutely amazing. You can tell they don't skimp on their veggie order and it shows. I guess I got accustomed to the bland Sysco veggies most places use, but this place obviously cares. Great clean place even though we order takeout. Always quick and with a smile. Since we found this place a month ago, I would think we have come back 6 times

My mother ordered a vegan pad woon sen and salad rolls. My spouse had tempura shrimp and tempura calamari. I ordered the mixed seafood Pad Ka Pao. My dish was very good. Hitting the sweet, sour, salty, savory sauce over expertly cooked vegetables. The calamari in my dish and in the tempura were overcooked and rubbery, but the tempura batter on both the shrimp and calamari were shatteringly crisp. The salad rolls were great. Unfortunately, the bar was unable to serve my spouse the cocktail she wanted due to lack of ingredients. This seemed unusual since we were seated early evening with no other customers. I couldn't get the tap beer of my choice as their tap was broken. The service was OK and he did follow up with us during dinner. The decor was average but the water spots on the ceiling tiles were a little off putting. I do plan to return as there were many dishes on the menu that I really want to try. Still cost less than $100 for 3 with drinks and tip.
