So, with limited options in Tillamook, we avoided the Creamery cafe and decided on soup due to cold rain. I always worry about Thai places that have all of Asia represented. My friend got Ramen (mistake) I was smart and got Tom Kha. Used same chewy chicken pieces in both soups, which was not edible. I guess if you have no other options. But if the chef says lasagna is her specialty, well.. read more

What an amazing treat to find this family run authentic Thai restaurant. Stopped in for lunch and had a great welcome from Ning at the register, the chef's daughter. Her smile brought me back to my three years living in the "land of smiles" as Thailand is known to travelers from around the world. I looked at the chalk board menu carefully and found a huge selections of authentic soups, curries, salads, rice and noodle dishes. The kitchen staff and the front staff were all speaking Thai among themselves with the lovely sound of light laughter coming from the cheerful cooks working behind the draped entrance to the kitchen. The place was simple but comfortably appointed with a couple two tops, a four top, and a six top table comprising the eat in layout. Also an eating bar for singletons. Small, but cozy and comfortable. Having lived in Thailand a few years, many of the dishes on the menu were familiar to me. My "go to" to evaluate a new Thai restaurant find is Green Papaya salad which was not on the board. I asked the counter staff if they had it available and while it was not on the board they immediately agreed to make it for me. It's not an easy dish to make, but it was authentic and exquisite. I also ordered a Pad Thai with chicken, just to see what the most popular American Thai menu dish tasted like. Both dishes were fantastic. This was like a trip back to Thailand without the airfare. I have read other reviews that give a grudging "Not bad" or "good for Tillamook" review. I will tell you honestly the two dishes I ate were as good as any Thai food I ate in Thailand. My Portland favorite Thai restaurant is PaaDee at 28th and East Burnside... an award winning Portland venue. This Sassy Express Thai food was also at that standard of excellence. Nothing fancy with the food served on good paper plates supported by a dinnerplate underneath to provide support to your paper plate, but the wooden chopsticks I ate with were perfect and these folks so sweet I bet they'd give instructions on how to use them if that were helpful to you. I have only eaten at this place a single time, today! But I am confident you may now call me a regular. When you leave be sure to say "Ka Pun Krap" (pronounced "Kap") as a male or "Ka Pun Kaa" as a female. It means thank you in Thai and I know you'll hear a "Ka Pun Kaa" back from the female staff. It was only on my leaving that I noticed one of today's specials offered was Local Crab fried rice for $17. The other menu items with a protein seem to range between $14-16. I hope they still have the Dundeness crab fried rice on the menu tomorrow as I am sorry I missed that option today. This place is real deal and I Love it! read more

This was our second time getting food delivered and TBH the first time we were not impressed by our crab pad Thai (like at all , kid's word was " gross") , so I would advise do not do that. It was really very disappointing and pretty expensive. This time we got: - potstickers ( you can choose fried or steamed). Fried, good, 8 in an order, nice dipping sauce. - pork ribs, tasty, comes with veg and rice. Slightly bbq sauced. They could have been more caramelized by a pop under the broiler for a couple minutes just sayin'. - chicken pad see ew- chicken was sooo dryyy, a little sparse, some nicely cooked regular broccoli, also sparse, but it tasted good and was not super oily. - tom kha tofu ( hold the mushrooms). Kid liked it,and ordered a side of jasmine rice (it was so tiny) to put in it. Rice was perfect. - A tiny cup of peanut sauce for almost $4.Tasty but crazy price come on. - Thai iced tea for kid - proclaimed good. I don't like Thai iced tea so I will believe him. This was a better experience for round #2. The servings are not quite as generous as we were used to from other Thai places, but we still had leftovers for lunch. And it was a tad expensive. I'm getting tired of the restaurant rice situation in this town and just going to start using my rice cooker more and keeping cooked rice on hand. Shrinkflation is a real thing. All that said it was a nice meal. If you skip Door Dash and go get it, it is not as expensive.
