    curry puff // thai iced tea with grass jelly
    Lisa N.

    Great portions and pricing. Lots of authentic Thai dishes offerings. Super friendly and polite staff. I ordered the khao soi gai and thai iced tea with grass jelly. I wanted to order something different and I loved there were pictures for every dish on the menu. We are a visual eater! It was actually my second time trying this dish, but first time at this spot. The curry itself was flavorful but I added more spice to my liking. There was a huge chicken leg in my bowl. I liked the egg noodles. My cousin and her husband ordered the ba mhee haeng puuu & mhoo dang (dry) and curry puff. They enjoyed the curry puff! We would have preferred if there was a side broth for the ba mhee haeng puuu. Overall, a nice filling meal! I would come back for the glass noodles dish!

    Amazing authentic thai food. On the top of my list for Thai food, I went with a group of friends and tried a variety of their dishes. Everything was very flavorful and well done, plenty of options for everyone. My favorite was the fried fish and their table side toppings/sauces were a great addition. Love seeing places that have the Thai chilies in fish sauce--which packed a punch! Service was attentive and friendly, but not overbearing.

    Skip Eem for this unpretentious and absolutely delicious food. Some of the best thom kha soup I've ever had. All of their food is amazing! The prices are completely reasonable and the value is very high. The owner/server/bartender is super duper sweet! Our food came out really fast too. It's a really cute little Portland gem. It's rustic inside with board walls and cute little benches. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

    Spring into summer with supper at Mee Sen courtyard is PDX pleasure. The ambience inside is also quirky unique, definitely a lot to look at for a Thai spot. Good tasteful sauces on their entrees at better than most price point. Service is normally friendly and smiley, but at peak times you might find a lone server trying to hustle between all the tables. With all the Thai restaurants around, this is one of the more popular spots for overall ambience & food flavors.

    It has been a while since I've eaten at Mee Sen, and I thought my dining experience was mid. The thai ice tea with grass jelly ($7) was delicious, but I was disappointed because the grass jelly lacked flavor. In fact, the grass jelly was bland, simply like flavorless jello. The pad kee mao was a bit salty from my perspective and needed extra spice, but they provide different options for hot sauce. The sauce for the larb jae was a bit too sour for me. Otherwise, the food came out quickly even when we submitted to-go orders. And, I like the decorations inside the restaurant. I would definitely come back to try more of their appetizers and cocktails.

    This place was busy, so we ordered drinks from next door while waiting for our table. We were seated after 10 minutes or so. They do not take reservations, so first come, first served. The food was great. I had the tofu Phad woon Sen and really enjoyed it. Service was excellent. Super friendly staff. We'll definitely come back to this place.

    We were headed to The Siren and wanted to eat first. Spotted Mee Sen across the street and decided on the spot To give it a go. So glad we did. As we sipped out Thai tea with bourbon (Rika) and waited for our Po Pia Tod and Shumai, we congratulated ourselves on picking a winner. In fact, the appetizers were so great, we forgot to make a photo. Then came our entries: Gai Manow and Moho Dang Moo Krob. Beautiful presentations and so good. Thank you for beautiful food, and charming service.

    Met up with a couple of friends for Saturday dinner at Mee Sen Thai Eatery. It's next door to Stem Wine Bar. Entrees are $14.00 to $21.00 USD. - Tamarind margarita ($13.00 USD) - decent - Curry puff ($10.00 USD) - three small puffs - Peek gai tod ($15.00 USD for 10) - good sized chicken wings. Opted for the spicy basil sauce - Somtum puu ($15.00 USD) - good portion. Green papaya salad was light and refreshing - Guay tiew tom kha ($16.00 USD) - coconut soup was serviceable. Ground pork was tasty - Panang moo ($15.00 USD) - curry was solid. Good portion of pork, comes with a bowl of rice - Mhee krob rad nah ($15.00 USD) - same sweet gravy sauce that you get at Chinese restaurants. My least favourite dish of the night Mee Sen's another solid Thai eatery.

    When there is so many great Thai restaurants in Portland it is sometimes hard to stand out. Mee Sen overcomes that. Every dish we ordered was amazing and the flavors were perfect! Some things were very spicy (which we like.) Here's a breakdown of what we ordered: - Chicken Wings (great fishy sauce) - Mhoo Satay (we wanted Mhoo Ping but they sold out. Still great and liked the peanut sauce) - Yum Woo Sen (one of my FAVORITE things, spicy but loved the flavor) - Khao Gai (not a fan of the bone in chicken but broth was great) - Hat Yai (great crisp) - Moo Dang Moo Krob (preferred the spicy pork to the pork loin) - Lychitini (yummy drink) Overall really impressed and we'd be back!

    Omg I can't explain to you how good this food is, you won't get it until you try it. The staff was super friendly and they had indoor and outdoor options, great location to walk around and shop and bar hop.

    So cute inside. Really loved the vibe. The cocktails were tasty. Well balanced. Loved my food too. Thom ka was delicious! Yellow curry was creamy and had body. Didn't like the chicken backs in my curry with wet skin but hay ...... It was friendly service. I'll be back to try more.

    Food 4/5 Service 4/5 Ambiance 3/5 First time, food is good, only small gripes was the sticky rice (which is a side order) could be better. We could hear the microwave heating it up when we orders it to go along with the chicken wings. It came out really nice and hot, BUT, it quickly got dry & hard. The draft beer was not really cold or bubbly like it should be.

The sauce they use with the chicken and rice is great and is worth buying to take home to make your own dishes better. There is a good amount of seating both inside and out. I also tried the pork which was good but I prefer the chicken so will stick to that on a future visit. I have tried a lot of places that do the same thai style chicken and rice and it's almost always a miss for me, something is always off, usually the chicken is touch, or too dry, or lacking flavor but here it just hits right.

We had to wait a bit for a spot to open up but soon were able to sit with a high chair (located in the middle near the entrance). We got our number after ordering and food quickly came out after our wait to sit. We got Khao Man Gai Piset (with liver), Khao Kha Muu and chicken skins. The kids ate so much and the hainanese chicken was a kid friendly favorite! We really enjoyed the Khao Kha Muu which was similar to an adobo with yummy pickled mustard greens. The meat was tender and marinated so well. The liver is always enjoyable by me and everyone ate the skins which were so crispy! The 2 meals were large and fed all of us well. Please remember to bus your own table!

They have several vegan dishes and we generally get vegan versions of the Evil Jungle with Tempeh, Pad Kee Mao with Tempeh, and the Enoki Mushroom Salad. They also have various vegan specials from time to time, outside of their vegan menu, which have all been amazing and something we keep an eye out for. If you have the time to eat in, you definitely should to fully appreciate certain dishes; but they do an amazing job with doing their to-go orders as well - like frying certain items when you arrive so they don't get soggy from waiting to be picked up. The ambiance is really nice for an intimate or small group meal and this is one of my favorite places to bring people that aren't vegan as they have all been really blown away with the meat dishes they've ordered.

Service was efficient on a weekday for lunch. I was very impressed that the woman serving us also cooks. She said she has one other person helping her over the weekend. The food was SO DELICIOUS. This was the best pad Thai we had with such depth of flavor - not too sweet or oily, just perfect. We also had the pad kra pao, eggplant and tom kha. The tom kha had good flavor and with a thinner broth that I'm used to which was fabulous. The eggplant was so delicious - the consistency was incredible. Not too soggy, just right. I also tried the mango sticky rice. For drinks we had the Thai lemon tea which tasted like Thai iced tea without the milk and lemon added - delightful! We even bought an extra dish to take with us to go. Amazing place. Ambiance is casual. I can't wait to return.

It is, in a word, perfect. I can only imagine what their other offerings taste like, but I myself may never know because the Green Curry is just that good.
