This was authentic upscale Thai food. The pumpkin curry offered a pleasant amount of flavor and heat. The the chicken satay and the peanut and sweat and sour sauces were homemade. The hospitality was nice and the seasonal mango and sticky rice took me right back to Songkran. read more

This restaurant is extremely convenient for me, and overall I enjoy their food. I would say that they occasionally have consistency issues - some times they curries and soups can be a bit on the sweet side. The online ordering menu is inaccurate for several items and omits allergen and dietary restriction information. read more

Drunken noodles are my fave! It's the perfect place to get some local Thai food, in a casual, and lowkey type of place! When I was living on campus, Pac Thai was my favorite restaurant for the delicious food, great service, and location from campus! My friends and I would order take-out from Pac Thai at least once a week! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

Though the food was a bit on the pricey side for Thai food I thought I'd go ahead and try it anyway. I went in, was sat down and service I received was alright. I asked for some hot tea ($2.95), and I ordered the spicy noodle soup, ($14.95). I was surpised they charged for tea since I didnt have any choice in what tea I got. The soup was basically a bowl of Tom kha broth with rice noodles in them. It wasn't spicy, I had to add more spice to it for my liking. Very little veggies, the squid and shrimp were over cooked but the chicken was fine. Overall, I was disappointed because I paid so much and didn't enjoy it as much as I wanted to. I think I will try another Thai resturaunt where I'd get a bang for my buck. read more

Pac Thai - Spicy noodle soup - Thai Near Me - Forest Grove, Oregon

See all

Wow...great little gem on an alley corner. In fact, the entrance is in the alley. I love the drunken noodles. Not short on serving size, I order it with steak and extra mushrooms but you can order any protein and spice level. Also try the rangoons, definitely worth it. read more

PAC Thai is a change up in ones typical eating choice. They offer a unique cuisine of Thai food. Only place of this type that I know of in the area. Whenever I come here, I usually get the Pad Thai with lemon chicken. It's .com. Most the time I'm just to scared to try something different. Eventually I'll get out my box, but for now that order is definitely my comfort zone. The plate is filled with a large portion of soft noodles, well garnished in a rich peanut sauce. And topped with a lemon grass chicken. The place itself is pretty busy during dinner hours; around 5. But other than that, customer service is better than average and and if you check in you get a free Thai Tea! So check in! read more

Food choices are very good. I had the drunken noodles my husband had the ginger lover. I had a small coconut soup similar to Tom Ka. All three was very good. I also had the Thai Tea good taste very fresh. We came in about 530 on a Tues night , by 6 this place was hopping busy. We will be back read more

Pac Thai - Thai Near Me - Forest Grove, Oregon

As I sit here writing this my wife is still suffering from the hot oil. The sauces were excellent. The service was polite and prompt. The atmosphere was welcoming. The food was awesome. My wife had the Moo Palo, I had the Ka Pow Kai Dow and we split crispy rolls. We will be back and I will update this post after the next visit. read more

Amazing! The food is always beyond great. The staff is very friendly nice and great at giving suggestions. Hidden treasure of forest grove. YOU MUST GO! The crab fried rice and curry is amazing. A little spendy but totally worth the price. read more

Love their food. I always get the sticky rice with peanut sauce. All their curries are great also.

This is my favourite Thai place and definitely the best restaurant in Forest Grove. Whenever I have visitors we either eat in or take out and everyone is always loves it. I always end up getting Beef pad thai medium spicy or Green curry... I always want to try new dishes but everytime I come back I miss my regular food and have to get the same things! Plus, who can beat free Thai tea with a Yelp checkin? read more

This place is wonderful- friendly staff, SOLID Thai food close to home. If you live outside the westside metroplex and get a craving for Thai- do NOT miss this forest grove gem read more

Love pac Thai so much. Everything is so fresh and flavorful. The serving sizes are perfect and always so satisfying. The coconut curry was unbelievable last time! Speed of service is always fantastic as well! read more

The last time i went the prices went way up. The menu is limited and they charge $4.00 for any beef dish. not worth the price. food is pretty good though. read more

My daughter who attends Pacific University nearby, has raved about this restaurant all year long. This past April, we had dinner here along with some of her friends and I was pleasantly surprised. We were a party of 7 so we had a reservation and I'm glad we did as the place was busy with both eat in and take out. Everyone ordered something different and without me having much experience with Thai food, stuck with what I knew. The yellow curry with chicken was delicious albeit a bit spicy. I couldn't believe the large portion size with the relatively small price tag. It was great and my daughter, along with her friends all enjoyed their meals and I enjoyed spending time with everyone. I can see why this place is so popular and you will too, especially if you have ever had to eat the gruel they serve on Campus, you might find yourself eating here a lot. Nice service to boot as well. read more

Somehow I ended up hungry, cold, and tired in Forest Grove one night and wandered into Pac Thai. I was a bit skeptical, but a Pacific U student told me it was one of the better restaurants in the area. AND the verdict? A-OK. Take note that I was really hungry and anything could have made me happy, so at that moment in time, the food was GOOD and just what I needed. I split the Tom Yum soup, Pad Thai, and a special Pad Thai with glazed chicken. Each item on the menu was about $8.95 with a few things a couple bucks more, so it was fairly cheap for dinner. I think their lunch items are the same, but $6.95. Looking back on it, currently well-fed, & remembering the after effects of the food, everything was too salty and oil. I woke up extremely dehydrated the next day, and downed 3 bottles of water like no other. I also remember my pad thai lacking in vegetables, and being mainly noodles, peanut sauce, chicken, and bean sprouts. The Tom Yum was also pretty bland and not too impressive. In the end, I would say the food is very reasonable for the price (plus it saved my butt when I was half-starving). The owners were also very friendly and tried cracking a joke: "How drunk do you want those drunken noodles?" "Not too drunk, I'm driving tonight". read more

Yeah I would do it again! Food was pretty good but had some room for another star . I will update my review after I go back. Hopefully

This is mine and my dorm-mates favorite restaurant! Reasonably priced--you only pay around $10.00 for a huge portion for dinner. I have tried both their pumpkin curry and yellow curry. Both curries were delicious and flavorful. Their Tom yum gum is to die for, definitely has a kick though. The pad-thai is "okay"- my friends love it, but personally I think it is mediocre. I prefer the pad se ew with beef. Their spice level ranges from mild to Very spicy--and when I say very spicy i mean it basically will hurt going down. LOL I like to order all my food as mild and then ask for the different oils so I can have the spice level to my liking. Service is confusing, in that I am never sure who my server actually is. I suppose that means they have great team work, but that I'm unsure who the tip will actually go to. This restaurant is super popular for take-out if a grab and go is more your thing. read more

tasty food, reasonably priced, one of the few places open on Sundays in the not so bustling town of Forest Grove OR

Pretty disappointed with my visit here today. I have always been skeptical of Thai restaurants because of my mild peanut allergy, but after living here for three years and seeing friends eat there safely, I finally decided to give it a go. Location is convenient and the waiter was nice. I ordered the Tom Yum soup with chicken, and it took about 15 minutes to arrive. It was a standard soup bowl, but what perplexed me were the number of half-blanched mushroom halves bobbing at the top of my soup. Hardly any greens--I didn't think to take a picture at the time because I wasn't very impressed (just tired and hungry!!) It looked nothing like the picture in the menu except for the color of the broth. Taste-wise, the soup was fair. I ordered medium spice but hardly noticed the difference. What did strike me though was that after a few spoonfuls of broth, my throat began to itch a little. I stirred my soup around and up pops a half of a peanut from the bottom of the bowl. Of course the waiter hurried to take the deathly bowl of soup away from me, and I am thankful that they allowed me to order something else for take-out instead. Management was very apologetic and handed me my food to go. I was confused when she did this because it was a few minutes after the waiter brought around the bill? Awkward exit as I had no idea if management was implying the bill would be waived or if I still had to pay... The poor waiter ran out the kitchen to try to collect my money (I'm not sure if either of us really knew what was expected of us). Of course, I paid because who really wants to be known as that person who dines and dashes? (even if it is unintentionally!!) In any case, this was an altogether unpleasant experience. Unfortunately, I don't see myself returning here in the future. I love Thai food, but finding peanuts in Tom Yum soup is pretty unnerving, especially since that dish never has peanuts in it. My one star is for the waiter and the location. Thank you sir for not letting me die :) read more

The new young waiter in training was fantastic! So polite, so helpful . Look forward to his work in the years to come.

I'm always skeptical of new Thai restaurants. My first visit starts with an order of Pad Thai and the comparison with my favorites begins. This time, I departed from the customary practice. I wasn't terribly hungry so I just ordered a couple of appetizers; chicken satay (4 skewers) and summer rolls (2). When I came in to pick them up (ordered to go which I never do on the first visit), I was greeted very pleasantly, as if I'd been a customer a long time. The place is very well done, the smells from the kitchen were amazing. By a matter of excellent timing, there was another to go order that had not been picked up, so the owner offered it to me which I gladly accepted. I think it's Pad Se Ew (chicken instead of beef). This isn't an entree that I'd normally order, but boy is it good. All the food is topnotch. This is a particularly excellent find as this place is less than a 5 minute drive from home. I'll be back regularly, maybe even once a week. read more

After having eaten at some of the best Thai places(Siam, Pok pok, oddly enough Thai Go, etc) in Portland, Beaverton, and Hillsboro, this place was a serious disappointment, especially after having eaten at their sister restaurant Zab Thai where the food was better than merely acceptable and even bordering on good. We ordered three dishes; pad thai, pad see ew, and summer rolls. The two noodle dishes were bland and overly sweet without the usual earthy muskiness that we love about Thai food. The summer rolls were just OK due to being very densely packed and the rice paper not being very tender. We choked them down with the peanut sauce. While not "bad", if this had been my first exposure to Thai years ago, my ongoing torrid love affair with Thai food would have been a forgettable one night stand. read more

A hidden gem in Forest Grove, OR, I've lived in the area for over 10 years now and have tried Pac Thai a couple of times. I've stuck with the staple of Pad Thai in the past with this restaurant along with many Thai restaurants. The staff was friendly and welcoming and the seating was plentiful. What separated this place from the rest was the Pumpkin Curry. I've never tried it and was hooked. If you plan a visit you Must order this dish. The meal was affordable and the atmosphere didn't have the showy resonance of a snooty overpriced establishment. Focusing on the food and not necessarily the decor, is where this restaurant shines and attains their higher rating. read more

My friends and I stopped by here yesterday on our break from a training at Pacific University. All of us are Thai food lovers, so we were excited to learn there was a Thai restaurant near by. The staff there were exceptionally nice and our take out came to us quickly even though they were quite busy in the dining area. We walked back to campus and sat down to eat our food - two of us got Pad Thai with Tofu and the other got Pad See Ewe. My Pad Thai was incredibly bland! Bland except for the overbearing onion aftertaste. I have had Pad Thai many, many times before and never had I had such an aftertaste! I really wanted to give them a higher rating because of their service, but the food just didn't make that a possibility. read more

The Panama curry and fresh rolls were some of the best I've ever had. Great service too. Quick and easy to pick up

Date Visited: Thursday August 20, 2009 (Lunch) My fiance and I were off to Pacific University to do a little office filing (sounds terribly romantic for a 13-month celebration, doesn't it?) :-) I had heard about Pac Thai a few times from him, so it made sense for him to take me there. From the same folks who brought you Zab Thai in Beaverton, they have created an ideal lunch spot for Pacific University students and faculty. Being vegetarian and being engaged to a vegan, it's always important for us to know what foods we can trust. Pac Thai helps by labeling their menu items and indicating a vegan sauce can be used. So whether or not oyster sauce has oysters in it or is simply used to put on oysters and other things is no longer an important question to be answered. The vegan items are vegan. Oh....one of the best bits about this restaurant is that, like Zab Thai, they have unlimited Thai Iced Teas. YUM-E! The Tofu Delight is not my usual dish, but it's quickly becoming a dish that I enjoy. The tofu delight consisted of tofu, cabbage, carrots, broccoli, and mushrooms made in a yellow curry sauce. Served with a side of brown rice, this lunch portion (?) was still too much for me to eat. The flavor was not overpowering. The vegetables weren't overcooked. read more

Make sure to specify at least some level of spiciness when you order food here, because otherwise it is universally prepared "ultra-mild," or in other words, BLAND. I understand why they do this out here in the Grove (and perhaps as part of a restaurant chain), but as someone who's used to more authentically-spiced Thai food... I've been pretty disappointed in the dishes I've tried at this place. I know that I'm not Thai in culture or appearance, but that doesn't necessarily mean I don't like flavor. Overall, the lunch portions are reasonably-sized, veg options are plentiful, and the service is pretty friendly (better if you're a regular, I've noticed). Oh, PS, the door is on the side of the building. Not the front. read more

OK, one more review update: The pumpkin curry has been restored to its former glory! I've tried it out a few more times since my last review and it's been consistently yum. Best thai food in town. Eat here. Also, I discovered today that if you check-in using the Yelp mobile app you get a coupon for free Thai iced tea! Sweet. read more

Great place never had a bad meal very good . Wait staff is attentive the only thing that could make it better is. If they delivered

A great local restaurant. The food is good. My only complaint is that sometimes they don't seem to have enough staff, especially wait staff. And during busy meal time hours this can be very painful. Otherwise, the people are friendly and polite and the food is solid. read more

This was absolutely divine, I can't believe I took a possible date here. It was the best part of the evening. Thank goodness for the delicious food. It was not very crowded. I saw some Pacific students but the new trend of being socially awkward I understand. Although i won't see that date again, I will visit this Thai place often. read more

I have only been here once, but the food was good. Everything was served in to go containers. I am not sure if that is their normal, but I'm sure they throw a lot of trash away and wouldn't need to if they used regular plates. read more

This place is decent. Pros: Conveniently located. Prices aren't too bad. Love the extra spices they bring out to include in your meal. Service is good. Cons: Parking sucks. Seating is very tight knit. I ordered the Pad Thai. T'was a little bland- (but I guess that's what that spice bar is there for). I'll return in the future and venture out in the menu. read more

Pac Thai is honestly my go-to place for when I need a break from the typical cafeteria food. As a Pacific student, the location is convenient, and the service is always on point! I don't think I've ever left this place with a bad experience, whether it's to-go or dine-in. The food is delicious, especially for a local Thai restaurant. My favorite appetizer is the Chicken Satay, which is grilled chicken that's never under or overcooked, and comes with this peanut sauce that just compliments it so well. My favorite dishes would have to be the House Fried Rice and Crispy Chicken Basil, both of which I believe you can order either spicy or non-spicy. The fried rice comes with your choice of protein, and the crispy chicken is just such a delicious dish that you've got to try to understand. I also love that they have a Yelp coupon for a free Thai Iced Tea drink. read more

-Our hunger level: 4.5/5 Borderline starving (after hiking for a while). -Business Level: 3.5/5 Somewhat busy (along with take-out orders regularly). -Seating: 5/5 Very fast. -Server: 4/5 Drinks came quickly (not everyone in my party received waters right away) She asked if we wanted food right after asking for drink orders (which I liked, and we ordered right away). -Wait time for food: 1.5/5 Took close to 40 minutes to get food. Other tables received food before us, maybe because our food took longer to cook, but it felt like forever. If it took another 10 minutes we may have walked out. -Food Quality: 3/5 Pretty decent Pad Thai, curiously it had mushrooms (which I have never seen in the dish before). Waitress never asked about spiciness level for our dishes, so we weren't able to get the heat (which I enjoy a bit of a kick). -Food Pricing: 4/5 I had extra to take home, so that is always a plus (about $10 for Pad Thai w/ Tofu during dinner hours). All three in my party ordered variations of Pad Thai. Although they were not super busy, they took quite a while to deliver the food to our table, next time I'll probably just order it a half hour before arriving (If I drive through there again). Don't know if this is a plus or minus, but our server did not come back to check on us more than once, another server brought out our food, and yet another server refilled our glasses with water (yay for teamwork?) read more

Thank you, Yelp. You always come through. I'm in town for work. I'm staying at the McMenamin's and I am heeding the warnings to go elsewhere (than the Grand Lodge) if I want to eat within a reasonable time. So, I'm beyond hungry. I'm, in fact, hangry! So, yelp app out, I'm like where can I get good food here in FG?!?! Among the top choices was Pac Thai. Great reviews. Sure enough. I arrive and it is packed. Food smells wafting from the kitchen are divine. So, the good news, bad news is that it looks like I came to right place, but I'm going to have to wait anyway. I'm seated fairly quickly and my server gives me a menu. It took a while for her to come back, but she did come back with water and my tea. So, I order the curry and I wait and wait and wait...it was a while. But I do see it's busy so I cut them some slack. My curry finally arrives and I take a spoonful, then it hits me. I never got to say how spicy or how many stars. That seems odd to me for a Thai place when I'm used to saying medium spicy or 4 stars or native when I'm in the mood! So I admit I was disappointed that it tasted somewhat bland. So, I'm giving Pac Thai 4 stars because it's probably the best Thai in town. But, if I were rating it in a bigger town or city with more choices, I would say a solid 3 stars. If you're from out of town like me and used to spicier Thai, I would advise you to ask about spiciness with the server. Maybe she forgot to ask me or I didn't read it in the menu. Either way, you will want to kick it up a few notches. read more

Pac Thai has been my favorite restaurant in Forest Grove since the week I moved here. Their yellow curry is my favorite dish and it never disappoints. read more

This is one of the favorite haunts for the lunch crew from work. Service has always been friendly and prompt. I must admit that I am not much for curry or overly spicy foods so I only ever order the chicken Pad Thai. But it's so good, that I don't feel the need to stray from it. Tried it spicy a couple times. It physically hurt my mouth to eat it. If your constitution is up to it, ask for them to heat it up. They will. read more
