Great food. Good portions. Order at the counter and food was delivered fresh hot and fast. Had a large array of variety. Tried the fresh spring rolls. If you're used to Vietnamese rolls thes are a bit different as they used chopped lettuce and no basil. The peanut sauce was not spicy but adding spiciness was easy as they have a tray full available. The pad see ew was very tasty and well cooked. Noodles were not overly greasy and we added bean sprouts to more resemble chow fin in Chinese cuisine. Others ordered the curries which were well stocked with proteins and veggies. Again the spiciness was a bit tame but you could increase as needed which cannot be undone if served too spicy. Finally we had a surprise for a birthday in that they served us a plate of the mango sticky rice which was a total hit. I highly recommend you order. The mango was fresh sweet and was perfect with the glutinous rice. The chewiness and sweetness of the rice and the tanginess and soft texture of the ripe mango was perfection. Better than cake!! Highly recommend tho place. Prices are fair as this meal was for over 6 people and we had leftovers! read more

Looking for a weirdly bare bones Thai joint in the midst of the hip and busy Mississippi district? Here you go. Looks like a regular sit-down restaurant with tables and booths and such, but you order at the counter, and they bring the food to you. The dishes were super good though, flavorful mouthfuls from our Pad Kra Praw and Thai Ginger, with a nice heat and perfectly cooked veggies with a good slab of rice to come with, at the usual prices. Good portions, too. Gotta take a point off for ambiance though -- and while service is friendly, it's literally just bringing your order out. Plus there's no booze here, so ya know. Also, parking can be tricky, and they close at 9. read more

We finally stopped by to try this spot and it wasn't what we were hoping for. The service was very kind and quick but the food was lacking. The salad rolls themselves were good and the veggies were fresh but the sauce was very weird - it was super sweet and watery and didn't pair well with the rolls. Then we tried the pad see ew and when it came out it smelled weirdly like crêpes. I think this might have been due to the high amount of eggs. read more

I have to say they have the best pad Thai I've had outside of Thailand. Pad Thai on the streets of Chiang Mai is really hard to beat. Just know that medium can be quite hot here. I have so many favorite spots here in Portland but this one is new on my rotation -- definitely recommend for takeout. read more

Neighborhood and visiting a friend and I thought Thai food sounds delicious. There's not many Thai restaurants to I love, but this is one of them I highly recommend it. They said it was changed a little bit and now you have to enter into the restaurant on the patio side. They take your order at the counter and then you find your seat or you take it to go. This time I chose to go because I want to go home and eat myThai food. The gentlemen, that waited on me was very kind. I placed my order online. I arrived no more than 15 minutes after I ordered it was ready to go. I ordered the Crab Rangoon, spring rolls, pineapple fried rice and yellow curry with chicken. The spring rolls were delicious but I felt the wrapping was a little thicker than I expected. Yummy all the more. The pineapple fried rice was most, and super flavorful. I love the veggies with bites for pineapple throughout. The yellow curry with chicken was ordered mild. I can't take too much heat. I imagine it's better with a bit more spice. The crab Rangoon again was flavorful but there was t much crab so it's hard to rate it very high. All in all this is a pretty consistent Thai restaurant that I would definitely recommend to anyone especially my Yelp community. read more

We came today and was surprised by how they changed the dining in process. You have to order and pay at the counter first then grab a seat while waiting for your order. It's ok I get it. That protects the business from dine and dash scenarios. The only thing that did not change was the food. Still consistently good and flavorful. Considering the record inflation we are suffering from right now, the food was fairly priced. Serving size was decent. The place was clean. Well kept. Highly recommended if you love Thai food! read more

Competitive prices without sacrificing quality while most restaurants skimp out by serving smaller shrimps, this place still serves great food. Please come out and support this business. read more

Monsoon - Thai Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I used to come here a lot and always loved it but today's visit was weird. I planned to dine in, the worker was behind the counter and had me order there and find my own seat, which was kind of awkward. The food arrived fast but it was really oil drenched. After my meal, I walked back up to the desk to ask for a box and the employee was scrolling social media on his phone for a full minute before looking up at me. I'm normally not a stickler about customer service but this experience was so strange. read more

Service was great and the food was amazing!! I am from out of town and we stumbled upon this place. We ordered shrimp drunken noodles, red curry (spicy) and mango sticky rice. I didn't even take pictures of how good it was. We devoured it! Everything was savory and sooo yummy! We would definitely recommend this place. read more

Can you think of anything more satisfying than ordering a bunch of Thai take out and consuming it with a gaggle of girlfriends from college while gossiping and laughing all night?! Monsoon is our go to take out spot for just this occasion. The food never disappoints and everything is packed and delivered perfectly. The panang is really good with super fresh green beans and red peppers. The golden rice is a must have and the pad see ew is a staple. read more

Whenever I pass by this restaurant it always smells so good so glad we finally got to visit during lunch to check them out! They have both lunch and dinner hours so be sure to check them out before heading over. Otherwise you can order for pick up ahead of time. We ended up ordering at the restaurant during lunch and there were no other in person groups ahead of us so the wait time was only ~10 mins. The indoor part of the restaurant is closed but there are a couple outdoor bench tables that are covered if you want to enjoy your fresh immediately. We ended up getting our two noodle dishes (drunken noodle and pad thai) with chicken and for ~$12 each entree the portion sizes are massive in my opinion. Our entrees were enough to be 2 meals per person. The drunken noodles were tasty with the mushrooms and other veggies. The noodles were cooked well and had good consistency. As for the pad thai the noodles were also cooked well and the sauce was on the sweeter side. I rated them 4 stars since the pad thai was good but I prefer mine a little less sauce with fried tofu and bean sprouts not mixed in and just placed on top. Overall both dishes were flavorful, quick time to prepare, and portions are worth the price here. The curries here looked tasty so I'll need to come on a cooler day to enjoy them. read more

After sitting at a coffee shop nearby most of the morning, I was looking for a lunch spot nearby. I found this place and gave it a try. The inside of the restaurant compared to the outside surprised me. It is open and spacious and had lots of seating during the lunch hour. We ordered the pad see ew and chicken fried rice. I was also surprised how good the food was! The pad-see-ew had lots of sauce to it and was very flavorful! The chicken fried rice was also a win. It had a saucey-ness to it and was also packed with flavor. A lot of times fried rice can be bland and dry, but this is the best I've had! The chicken and rice has a charred-grill flavor to it that made it especially delicious. Our server was accommodating, friendly, helpful and cleared our plates kindly. Overall a great vibe, awesome food and service! Wish I was local so I could eat this more often. read more

I have been going to Monsoon for over 20 years and the food is always fantastic. Nice restaurant or to go orders. You won't be disappointed.

I've been going to Monsoon for quite a while now, and while Portland has some EXCELLENT Thai restaurants to choose from, Monsoon is always just solid. I wouldn't say they're the best in the world but they're consistent, their portions are big, they're quick, and it always tastes good. I love their location directly across the street from Prost so it makes for a great meal after some German beers! Yeah, their pad thai is very solid. I REALLY like their red curry though and would highly recommend that dish if you haven't had it. Another solid go to is their drunken noodles (aka pad kee mao) and I can usually get a couple of meals out of it. I love Monsoon and will surely continue to go there. On a different note, their service is also always super friendly and nice. I think it's family owned and run so it's great to help out long time local spots like these! read more

I've ordered takeout twice and dined in once and everything has been insanely delicious! Definitely don't skip the mango sticky rice- it's fabulous read more

Disappointed. I used to have lunch here at least once a month, but since my work location changed, I haven't been here for approx 6 months. I used to love their food...and service...but not anymore. We were "greeted" by a very sullen guy who never smiled, didn't verbally greet us or make us feel welcome, he just kind of mumbled "how many?" then walked us to a table. He didn't ask is we wanted anything to drink, he just walked away. A few minutes later, he brought us glasses of water, set them down on the table, then walked away without saying anything. Approx 10 minutes later (they weren't busy at all, there were literally only 2 other tables besides us) he came to take our orders. The food arrived fairly quickly. One of my friends had the peanut curry. I tasted it and like it. Nothing amazing, just okay. My other friend ordered drunken noodles and she said it was very good. I wanted Massuman Curry, but it's no longer on their menu (disappointing!) so I ordered chicken yakisoba. It was awful... noodles were under-cooked and the yakisoba sauce tasted like a too sweet teriyaki sauce. I definitely wouldn't order that again! The waiter never came to our table to check on us (despite the restaurant not being busy at all). Our waters weren't refilled and I actually wanted to order a beverage, but wasn't given that opportunity. When we were ready to leave, I had to get up and walk to the front to ask for a to-go box and the check. Overall, it was not a great experience, but I'm giving 3-stars based on my two friend's food and because the restaurant is clean and the prices are reasonable. read more

Tried red curry with tofu and loved it. Came with rice on the side. The quantity was enough for 2. Had many options with tofu for vegan. Fast service Clean restrooms. read more

I was frightened when we came here because Mississippi Street around dinner time during the week...yikes! We walked in, right to a perfect table and the restaurant grew in patrons but nothing over the top. We were well attended to through the whole meal and never have to ask for anything twice. They had some of the best Pad Thai and Crab Fried Rice I have had! Plus, when you park right by them you can conveniently walk your dinner off and grab some ice cream...or just the walk. read more

Small and quaint restaurant in a tiny house like structure serving authentic Thai cuisine with a few spots to park on the street. The interior reminds you of a small temple in Thailand. The food is reasonably priced and tasted great. Despite having a tiny kitchen, the staff offered great selections and the service was fast. read more

Never again! The Thai place I wanted to try , doesn't do scheduled orders, so our department executive assistant, ordered Drunken Noodle with beef from this place. This can't be the place where folks love to dine. This mess? Fossilized béef with flavorless noodles and just broccoli. When I opened the container and smelled the putrid order, I knew if the dish tasted like it smelled, I was in for a horrible experience. Sure to my apprehensions, it was garbage. Stinky, sticky, flavorless mess. My only saving grace, is that I didn't spend my own money. It was a virtual holiday lunch, and everyone had food delivered. Mostly everyone's food sucked, but once I shared the photo of mine, my colleges declared me the unluckiest of the department. I wouldn't tell my worse enemy to dine here, on second thought , maybe I would. The iced tea was good, though. read more

I head here in the neighborhood for very standard Thai. Nothing bad about it, mostly the same dishes you see everywhere else, just nothing special or unique about it either. The inside of the restaurant is actually pretty nice, despite the outside looking like a dump. It could really use a paint job. I usually get an eggplant stir-fry dish and/or a curry. The portions are generous and sauces decent. They usually have a special or two that's a bit different. I sometimes wish they'd chop their vegetables smaller, as it's annoying to get a whole head of broccoli or pepper you have to cut up yourself to be able to fit in your mouth. Service here varies. Sometimes they're quick and friendly, other times the barely speak English and just walk up and say 'You ready to order?' read more

Love this place! Food has always been good and service is super friendly. The ambiance is welcoming and not too overwhelming.

We had the duck curry and the khao soi soup! The duck curry was different and pretty yummy! The khao soi was okay, but wasn't the typical khao soi you get in northern Thailand but it was still good. We loved visiting this place and this street is fun to wander! read more

We live down the street and try to order from Monsoon at least every other week! Our MUST HAVES are always the Pad Thai with chicken (I know, groundbreaking) with chili oil and peanut sauce, and either the red or green curry. We usually throw in an order of pot stickers & that's enough to feed us for dinner and lunch the next day :) The lemongrass chicken of thai is also a favorite! I love the Tom yum soup and any of the fried rices when I really want to shake things up. read more

I've eaten here twice now and both times were bad. We had the tofu rolls (eh... no peanut sauce) and red curry. The vegetables and rice were mushy ? Will not be returning read more

Unsuspecting exterior, surprising interior and covered outdoor seating available in the back. I've ordered the pumpkin curry a couple times and have enjoyed it. You can eat in or order to go. There are bins to bus your own table, but that's not uncommon to restaurants in Oregon. There are also other interesting places along this street to check out before or after stopping here. read more

They charge more than normal, for smaller portions. Sticky rice with mango 8$???? Then yellow curry was 15$?? read more

My boyfriend and I were spending the day in Portland and decided to try this restaurant out for lunch after seeing good reviews on yelp. It did not disappoint! We love spicy food and they definitely brought the heat which made us very happy. We shared two entrees and an appetizer- fresh salad rolls (comes with tofu and not shrimp), drunken noodle with chicken and pad gra praw with chicken. The fresh salad rolls were just as described - super refreshing. The entrees were huge portions and deliciously spicy. We commented that this was probably one of our favorite Thai meals we've ever had. We ended up taking one meal home with us. Note - lunch prices do not apply on the weekend read more

This is my favorite Thai food spot in Portland. It's consistent, great portions, flavorful, and always delicious. I always go with the chicken pad Thai medium (which to people who don't like spicy food might be too spicy), or the pad de ew. They are amazing. What Thai food should be in my opinion. If you want to dabble in the apps I recommend the coconut shrimp, pot stickers, and for those veggie lovers the fresh rolls with tofu, and make sure to get extra peanut sauce. Could drink the stuff. I always get delivery from here because it's my lazy Sunday while watching the night NFL game during the fall/winter. If you are looking for good portions and delicious foods please check this out. You won't be disappointed. read more

The food was good! The Tom yum soup was great and the vegetarian platter was okay. But the service can really be improved. I got the Tom yum soup but didn't get the laddle with it. We got the main course even before the starters. They were cleaning up the table on which we sat even before we left as they were closing the restaurant. Overall I felt the food was good enough but the service can be improved read more

GROSS!!! This use to be my favorite Thai place for over 10 years they were. I heard the rumors that they declined but now I know for a fact! Where do I start! She was rude when we walked in! Talking fast like we irritated her by picking up our food! There was absolute no spice in mine the noodle stuck like a hard rock and the flavor was gross! The bf got shrimp in his. This morning he is sick! Stomach cramping all night!! Don't go here don't spend a dime here! They use to care about the quality of food and service but now they're rude and their food is shit! read more

This place is solid, I ordered from them for the first time yesterday. I can't give a full 5 stars because I was missing the extra touches that usually come with Thai food. I missed the cold sprouts, shredded carrots and crushed peanuts that usually come with pad thai. But the pad thai itself was good and so was everything else. I would order from them again. read more

So simple and fresh! Taking it back to the basics and having flavorful dishes. If you are looking for a delicious Thai meal this is the place for you. Ordered the Drunk Noodles and do not mess with the spice. I ordered hot and my mouth was on fire. Definitely ordering again and sticking with medium spice. Very calm environment. Also loved that they had vegan options ! read more

Real good standard Thai food. I enjoyed the pad Thai and se ew. Definitely more of a takeout spot but nothing bad about that.

I have been a customer of this restaurant for years and had nothing but great service and fantastic food but tonight was a huge exception. I'm writing this review at 4:45 am coughing my lungs out and sick to my stomach, and here's why: Our waitress would literally walk away from our table and go to the water station and open mouth cough.. this happened repeatedly. The cough sounded phlegmmy, She sounded stuffed up and sick, and now both my partner and I are sick too. I will miss work tomorrow because I work with food and I don't want to get anyone else sick. I will be missing money right before rent is due because she decided to go to work. I am extremely upset about this. I am immuno compromised, and it's hard for my body to fight off sickness as it is without people coughing into my water. To make matters worse for the first time ever there was something seriously off about the food. The broccoli and only the broccoli tasted like Lysol. Yes, you're reading this correctly- it tasted like cleaner! So I told the waitress and all they did was add more to my plate and put more sauce on it. I was so sad, immediately sick to my stomach, disappointed, and wanted to get out of there so I ate a few bites around the broccoli , got the check, and left as soon as possible. My meal alone cost over 13 bucks- for rice and veggies. Y'all lost a long time customer. I will never ever come back here. read more
