    Tom Yum Ramen
    Jasmine V.

    I was recommended this Thai place and did not go in with high hopes as other Thai restaurants I've been trying within the area have not "wow'd" me. They definitely steered me wrong! I ordered the 2 dishes that I was recommended and was really impressed. Ultimate pad thai: I LOVE fat rice noodles and they made it so well in this dish without over cooking it. I think my favorite is actually the seasoning and the fact that there's many proteins. They do not skimp on the size of the shrimp! Tom yum ramen: The fried wonton is honestly my favorite in this lol. Not the main idea of this dish but they fried it so well and it soaked up the soup nicely. Other than that, the Tom yum is the best I've had within the area but I will say it is on the sweeter side. I'm not the biggest fan of ramen noodles but didn't mind it in this and will probably try the one with rice noodles next! Both dishes were a good portion for the price. I would say if you come with a group, it can easily be family style to share multiple dishes. Parking: it's in a shared plaza and right next to the road so I don't think parking should be an issue. I came on a Sunday at 6pm and plenty of parking! Service: I was greeted right away and they were very attentive.

    Prik King Moo Krob
    Amanda M.

    I think this is probably one of my favorite Thai restaurants in Vancouver/Portland Metro Area. They serve and make dishes that aren't commonly on Thai restaurant menus which I enjoy. I got the Prik King Moo Krob which is Thai red curry stir fried with green beans and they add crispy pork to it. This has some spice to it, I don't think it's that spicy. However, don't recommend it if someone has low spice tolerance unless spice level can be adjusted. The green beans were fresh, delicious with a nice crunch when eating it. It paired well with some peppers and the pork belly. Cause of the sauce the pork belly wasn't crispy but definitely flavorful. I do wish there was more rice for it, at the end I had leftover sauce. I could have asked for more rice I know. The portion size is enough for one meal. The staff got food out to me quickly after I ordered. The restaurant is modern and clean. There's decent amount of parking there too. I'll definitely be back to try more dishes.

    Pad See Ew  Steamed dumplings
    Mata S.

    Ordered pad se ew and dumplings, flavor was not very good. Pad se ew had a fishy taste and dumplings tasted like freezer dumplings. Overall the food just wasn't very good, very unimpressed and disappointed.

    Chili sauce
    Helen C.

    Where do I even begin. This place is overall quality!! The inside has a really nice ambiance as well, very relaxed. I omit certain ingredients due to my food sensitivities and they always make it perfect! I am very picky when it comes to a good Pad Thai and here is where I found it to be that authentic taste. I eat here at least twice a week and recently discovered their yummy chili sauce made in house that is now my new obsession They most certainly deserve more than 5 s Compliments to the chef!! Thank you

    Thai tea and salad rolls
    Samantha N.

    Salad rolls were huge!! She made them fresh. And I got a good amount of peanut sauce to go with! This place is a hidden gem with pool tables inside seems like a fun place to kick it with friends. As for the service 10/10.

    My Hot Basil dish was splendid
    John R.

    The good here is simply awesome... so crisp, clean and full of flavor.... Great presentation to boot! I highly recommend this restaurant... my fav is the hot basil w chicken

    Pure Wings
    Cindy R.

    Pure Thai Cafe provides delicious Thai food and good service. My husband and I asked for medium-hot spiciness for our dishes. We ordered Pure Wings. The wings were HUGE compared to other Thai restaurants. LOVED the dipping sauce! Reminds me of finadene (hot dipping sauce in Guam). Wings were hot and crispy. We enjoyed the Papaya Salad. We liked the tangy dressing, and lots of cherry tomatoes. We substituted brown rice (instead of Jasmine rice) for the Thai Fried Rice. We ordered it with pork. The portion was big, which we appreciated. Plenty to take home. The Pad Kee Mao was with beef. It was more tasty than the Pad Kee Mao we've had at other Thai restaurants. Prices are reasonable. Overall the food portions were larger than the other Thai restaurants we go to. I'm pretty sure it has something to do with location. Pure Thai is in Hazel Dell. The other Thai restaurants we go to, are in Felida, and in Salmon Creek. Pricier areas (re: rent). What would have made this review a 5-star rating, would have been authentic Thai background music. They were playing music by Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello (Señorita). A little odd in my opinion. I appreciate it more when ethnic restaurants play their country's native music. If you love Thai food, visit Pure Thai!

    the interior of the restaurant

    Pure Thai is a sure Thai for me from now on. This review is for take-out only but I would love to dine in next time as the store had a very calm and welcoming vibe. I called to put my order in and they stated 15 minutes and when we arrived the food was ready and the billing process was fast. We had Khao soi and Tom Kha and I can't fault a single thing with both those items . The soup was Rich creamy and beautifully balanced mix of lemongrass, galangal, mushroom, onion, lime leaves and Chicken .I got a medium spice for this one and found it perfect . The Khao Soi was equally delicious and came very well packaged, I regret spicing it down to mild and I would recommend the Medium for most people as I personally found the mild low on flavors. Pricing was reasonable and the food quantity was sufficient for the two of us .Its located in a shopping Centre so plenty of parking outside .

    Pad Thai
    Jennifer D.

    I love Thai food and usually get green curry which is what I got here. It was ok. My husband ordered the pad Thai and that was yummy so we switched meals. Spring rolls were ok. Service was great, brought everything out quick and were friendly. I love the ambiance and was surprised by the modern elegance.

    Came in after work for a quiet bite to eat with my husband. I've seen pictures of the food here so I wanted to come try it. The restaurant is located in Orchards, across from the Shari's and Fred Meyers. The parking lot is small and kinda tight. The staff was really nice and the restaurant was very clean, but small. We were seated right away when we arrived. The menu was pretty big so it took me awhile to decide what I wanted to try. The potstickers were okay. The minced chicken dish we ordered was good. We topped it with a fried egg. The crying tiger dish was alright, I think I expected more from it. The meat was overcooked but the marinade and the sauce it came with was good. I will definitely stop in again to try other dishes.
