    Tofu PAD THAI and  CHICKEN KATSU CURRY
    Dalena H.

    There was nice outside seating but we decided to sit inside. We started with drinks. My friend ordered the cherry blossom lemonade. It came in a very pretty cup. I think they use cherry blossom syrup since they told them to stir it up thoroughly. It wasn't sweet, had a nice cherry blossom light tart flavor. Our food came out quickly. I got the pad Thai with tofu. The first few bites were fine but as I kept eating it, the tang got stronger and stronger and not as enjoyable to eat. It was missing some sweetness. I didn't eat half of the dish. The panang curry katsu wasn't too bad. The curry was very runny and the flavor wasn't that strong. The katsu was nice and crispy though.

    We visited on a Saturday night and I was glad we had reservations because it was packed. It is a small place so I'd make a reservation if possible. It was a cozy and bright space and I was optimistic about dinner. We were seated quickly and service was attentive. We had beers and the shrimp donuts to start followed by pad see ew and the panang curry. Everything, especially the pad see ew was delicious. We should have asked for some Thai condiments as the pad see we would have been even better with some chili vinegar.

    So I leave this one star review not because of the food or the service the food was wonderful and the service was great but as a professional chef, I find it very rude and insulting that you automatically put a 20% gratuity tip on a bill to anyone that walks through the door. It's not like I had an extra large party or anything like that. Say automatically giving yourself a large tip is like patting yourself on the back and saying that you deserved it no matter what I think, but I understand this younger generation comes from the participation trophy era where they feel their entitled to everything they haven't earned and don't deserve but a tip is for me to let you know how I thought of your performance how I thought of the flavor quality and taste of your food or performance and you automatically adding a tip I find very insulting and rude. I mean if you want to charge more just charge more but deciding what I tip you it's like rewarding yourself and that's what a tip is for me to do to decide how much I am to reward you and what you're worth was to me granted the food was great here. The service was good and I probably would've left an even larger tip as a matter of fact, I know I would've because before I realized that they added an automatic 20% to the bill I was telling my wife how this was one of those places I rarely make an attempt to give the chef a personal cash tip directly to him because I'm a chef, and when I recognize very little of a tip goes to the back of the house and from one chef to another, it's a way to say I really really appreciate this and your food was amazing but as a professional chef for over 35 years in the industry, I found this very rude very insulting and I probably will never go back to this restaurant even though I enjoyed my experience very much. I really struggled with not leaving a one star review but the food was just too good PS as i said just raise your prices you obviously missed the point and your entitlement shows this is why I will not be back say your not the only spot in town and your not that good don't mistake my kindness and compliments with your ego and arrogance

    Chicken Pad Thai

    A neighborhood delight on NE Fremont! I've been twice in two weeks, once for dinner and once for lunch. A small and lovely space, comfortable and welcoming. We were seated right away and our service was excellent all through our meal. Our food was delicious. The summer rolls are perfect for sharing (or not!). Wonderful Pad thai and Kao soi.

    Loved this place! The food was amazing and the service was great. Our favorite dishes were the pad thai and pad kee mao so flavorful and satisfying. The cocktails were fantastic, and the ambiance was cozy and welcoming. We'll definitely be back!

    VEGGIE SPRING ROLLS (V) PORK BELLY BAO BUNS

    Service was great and the food was amazing !! I came during lunch with a friend and were sat and served quickly and with a friendly staff!! We got the pad Thai, Tom yum soup, veggie spring rolls, and the Bao buns . Very delicious and great spice. Would definitely recommend as they also have a very cute and comfortable interior. Will be back again for sure !

    Chicken katsu curry!

    Everything I tried was so delicious. I am blown away!! The flavors were incredible, the presentation so well done, the ambiance and service was perfect!! I could eat here every night if my wallet let me. I'm already planning what I'll get the next time I go. Also I cannot stop thinking about the strawberry crepe cake, so so so good.

    Pad see ew with pork belly

    Bright interior design and still give out a homey feel ! Great service paired with yummy, fresh Thai food. We particular likes the pork belly bao and pork belly with noodles! The server was thoughtful , attentive and she checked for dietary needs.

    Lovely time at Proud! The food was very very good! And service was amazing! We got the spring rolls for appetizer not pictured but it was also very good, couldn't get enough of the peanut sauce!

    Proud was my favorite find in Portland. The staff was so kind and welcoming--attentive without being pushy, and genuinely happy to chat or make recommendations. The atmosphere is perfect on a rainy day: warm lighting, cozy seating, and an inviting feel that makes you want to linger. The food was the highlight, though. Every dish tasted homemade and authentic, with bold flavors and fresh ingredients. I can't wait to go back and try more of the menu on my next trip to Portland.

    Thai tea crepe

    The Pad Thai and Drunken Noodles were absolutely incredible--truly the best! The Thai Iced Tea was perfect, and the whole place felt warm, clean, and super charming. Prices are very reasonable, and the service was fantastic. Highly recommend!

This was my preferred cocktail Food: family style - Sweet and sour chicken: even the small was a big portion. Flavor was great on this, and it had a crisp, crunchy batter - Wok fried yu choy: great wok char - Smoked pork krapao: crispy pork belly pieces, a fried poached egg (literally deep fried). Break up the yolk to dip with the pork. The cucumbers and green beans are a nice clean accompaniment; spicy fish sauce was great - White curry with brisket burnt ends: I've never had a white curry, but the white curry and cauliflower was a great match for the super rich brisket pieces. I love the interesting combination! Note: pretty much everything has some spice to it, so for kids, the jasmine rice and yu choy are the main items, though my older daughter did ok with the fried chicken and brisket! Music was great, and all of the food flavors were bold. Though flavor combinations were unique, everything was cohesive. They were packed on a Wednesday for lunch, so I'm glad we got here before noon to snag a table. I wish the Bay Area had more interesting fusion done right like this (I feel like fusion is a bad word in the food world...)

Our drinks came first and so did our appetizers unfortunately two out of three of our sushi rolls only came and my friend never got her sushi roll. Our waitress never stopped by to check in on us after our appetizers came. Overall, I would rate the salmon crispy rice a 6 out of 10 it felt quite oily. And was lacking in flavor even when I used soy sauce. I got the island hopper roll and replaced the fish with salmon instead and it was a 9 out of 10.

I got bored of the food options in Salem, so I drove to Portland just to try this place. If you do come here, keep in mind that some of the employees have a language barrier. The first thing I did when I arrived was to ask if they were out of any menu items. I was told "No." Then I asked about the difference between the Samsy and the Hoshan, and I was told that they're out of the Samsy. Fine, I ordered 1 Hoshan and the Brizol. I was told they're out of the Hoshan. Another guy came over and said they have some alternative Samsy which is not on the menu. Sure, I'll take it. The food was prepared quite quickly. The Brizol is like a Salisbury steak layered on a plain omelet, wrapping tomatoes & cucumber with mayonnaise, served with rice. It kind of came across as a ghetto, gluten-free enchilada. Unfortunately (for me), the red and white sauces are just ketchup and mayo, so the flavor profile didn't quite hit the spot. I was worried that the dough of the Samsy would be mushy, but it was not. The lamb meat inside had some fat and gristle, which I actually consider a good thing. Unlike all those shawarma places which use that processed, spongy "lamb" meat, these guys use actual straight up meat. I would get this again. Although the food wasn't bad, I didn't consider it worth the 2 hour round trip.
