The food was great! We always come here for a late night dinner if we're feeling to eat something of Asian cuisine. A lot of Asian restaurants are closed early but I'm glad this one opens until 4 am! We got the Yellow Curry, Spicy Fried Rice, Tom Yum Soup and our appetizers: Spicy Chicken Wings and Fried Tofu. Everything tasted delicious.

this is our late night after a night of dancing and drinking spot because of their late night hours! the food always hits and its kinda fun to see the strangers you were dancing with 10 minutes ago walk in and eat with you!

Ordered on Uber Eats and... how can I say this? I'm white and could have made better, fresher Thai food. Pad Thai was essentially only noodles. Where's the chicken, bean sprouts, peanut? Spring rolls were frozen store bought. Soup and curry bland AF. The the soup wasn't even cooked. The potato and other vegetables in the curry were completely raw. Wow. Clear that whoever runs this place has no understanding of food. Order screams: Doesn't give AF

Tom Yum Soup
Reed L.

ordered tofu tom yum via doordash -- food was prepared and delivered promptly. i will say though, i wish the broth was less sweet and was sad to see i only got 1 tomato wedge. for the price point , i had hoped for something with more flavor. perhaps dining in would yield a different experience, so ill check it out anyways if im in the area

9/12/2024 - We were super hungry after catching a show at the Funhouse Lounge right down the street.

I did not know about this spot until I began doing delivery driving and then I discovered this is here, that they would always have my orders accurate and fast plus that they seemed pretty empty yet open till 4am! My friend I go out with more is a vegan so I love going to places where we both have a lot to chose from. We were both excited. At first I thought the guy behind the counter was abrupt but I suspect he is just resting angry face since he even said goodbye specifically to us when he was leaving after he was off and another person clearly was taking over for the later shift. He was super helpful though answering our many questions since nether of us had been there before. We ordered way too much food knowing we were going to be swimming in leftovers so we ordered good items for that. They have a specials board so I ordered heir orange chicken from that as I did not see it on the menu. I am super picky and this was some of the best orange chicken I have had. Their coating is so good and unique - perfectly crispy... And then the sauce is that perfect not syrup yet also not an assault on you with citrus like some are. I was amazed! I also got the shrimp salad rolls and their chicken satay. It was all delicious with gloriously tasty peanut sauce. And I had crazy leftovers I am still working through. I do have to also say that their prices are great too! Their location is excellent and I have not ever had an issue grabbing parking though I also have not been there during what could be an issue. Revolution Hall is directly next door and I feel that could be a challenge or parking BUT they are easy enough to get through food delivery or even just order and pick up!

Pad Kee Mao Tofu

You have to love that Sunee is open very late. Service you receive depends on who is working, but it's friendly enough for late night. There is always plenty of people picking up take out and patrons eating in. The decor is pretty with many traditional items. The food, decent and tasty. I always find Thai food on the more expensive side especially for vegan. The pad kee mao is good and tofu is cooked well.

Enjoyed the Spicy Chicken Wings, Pad Ga Prow stir fry with beef, with a Singha beer! Highly recommended! Wonderful location, across the street from a great microbrewery & Gastropub Grand Fir Brewing as well as Revolution Hall!

On the corner of Stark and 14th, Sunee Thai offers both Thai and Lao dishes. I got takeout recently and enjoyed the meal. We got noodles and a curry. Most items can be made vegetarian. They ask how spicy you want the dish on a scale of 1-5. I don't remember what I chose but I do remember thinking it wasn't as spicy as I'd like. So maybe add 1-2 on top of your initial thought. Staff was friendly during our brief interaction. The restaurant was empty since I arrived at the start of dinner service, but the atmosphere was pleasant. Looks like they have late hours, which we all know is rare in Portland! If you've got the late night munchies, this could be a great option.

The pad Thai was all noodles. In all less than half an egg and part of a chicken wing. The rest was noodles.

Southern BBQ meets Thai food - who would have thought this would be a winning combo!…read more Enjoyed dinner here while visiting from out of town. Thai is my favorite food and it's hard for me to find a place truly deserving of 5 stars. But Eem deserves all 5. We were given a complimentary Field Greens Salad that was a misorder from a different table. It was delicious - fresh and tangy. We ordered family style to try different dishes. My favorite was the White Curry with Brisket Burnt-ends. The brisket melted in your mouth, and blended well with the white curry. The Sweet and Sour Fried Chicken was incredible. Crispy outside, tender on the inside, and amazing flavor. My only qualm is the pieces are on the larger side, but they don't provide a knife. But that didn't stop me! The Thai tea was lightly sweetened, and came with cute umbrellas. I am still thinking about this meal 4 days later, and looking forward to coming again when I'm in Portland next. The demand for this place is great! We got there for an early dinner at 4 PM, with little to no wait. But by 5 PM the wait was over an hour long, so plan accordingly! Inside space was clean, well decorated, and table spaced nicely so you didn't feel too crammed next to other parties.

Eem absolutely lived up to the hype! So many people recommended it, and while we hadn't originally…read moreplanned to go, I'm so glad we made it happen. We weren't sure we'd get a table, but arriving around 5 p.m. worked out perfectly--we snagged a patio table for three and enjoyed the beautiful weather. We ordered a salad, the white curry with burnt ends, mushroom fried rice, and sweet-and-sour chicken, and everything was amazing! The cocktails and mocktails were delicious, too, and came in such fun, playful glasses that made the experience even more memorable. This was such a fun dinner and a spot I'd highly recommend. The surrounding neighborhood is also really cute, with places to grab ice cream or another treat afterward. Definitely worth making room for on your Portland itinerary!

Easily the best Thai BBQ I've had! Each part of the meal pairs perfectly well with each other and…read moreis packed with immense flavor. Khao Moo Dang Pi-Set (5/5): Upgrading to the Pi-Set is worth the extra $3, which comes with all the standard options plus extra eggs, juicy dumplings, tender yu choy, and a side of bone broth. The five-spice pork is super tender and tastes very similar to char siu. The pork belly had a great crunch and was perfectly salty, which contrasted well with the sweet Chinese sausage. The dumplings are really juicy and justify the upgrade on its own, in addition to complementing the side of bone broth. Everything ties together when coated in their signature Khao Moo Dang sauce, which rounds out the rich meats with the perfect amount of sweetness. Logistics Tip: Takeout packaging holds up well, keeping the crispy pork belly from getting soggy on the ride home while ensuring the broth stays piping hot. Upgrading to the Pi-Set version further improves an already generous meal into an expansive dish that can easily satisfy a huge appetite.

Been here twice on my past two trips to Portland …read more. The food is pretty darn good -- and pricing is also pretty fair for what it is. However, -2 stars for the last time I was there .. I was with my brother, and he had tipped them well. It was later in the evening and people were hawking our table .. and we weren't aware it was "bus" your town table, felt the need to give up our table quickly and we were already on the street and a male waiter literally ran after us to let us know where we could put our dishes? .. Ok, bro, I get it but was that necessary? Why do you guys want to be tipped 25% and when someone makes a mistake, you run after them to tell them to bus their own table? Wasn't that MORE effort than just doing it yourself and saving your PAYING customers from embarassment? Not sure if I would come back and dine-in again .. Pretty turned off and taken aback. Take-out is definitely on the table but please give your paying customers a break and some empathy.

The mango sticky rice (when they have it) is so soo good, please bring this fan favorite back ;) My partner at the time ordered the crispy pork belly over rice with an egg on top, I took a bite and honestly, I was jealous of his plate the entire meal! Everything was flavorful, comforting, and beautifully well done. Felt like an upscale Thai restaurant. Definitely overdue for a return visit.

This is my 2nd time eating at Paadee, and overall I had a much better experience…read more Service was quick and pleasant. We ordered the Kanom Gui Chai (chive rice cakes). This was my fave. The texture was perfectly chewy, and there was so much robust chive flavor. It was bursting with stir-fried chives. There was a crispy Thai chili crunch on top that gave a nice contrast to the mochi texture of the rice cake. The simple sour soy sauce on top had a nice umami flavor to round it out. 9/10 I ordered the special, which was a grilled chicken thigh, sticky rice, lettuce wraps, and a sauce. You roll it all up together and enjoy. The chicken had great flavor and was tender. The skin was nice and crispy. Eaten all together, the flavors came together nicely. The sauce didn't leave me impressed and was more chopped herbs than sauce. I wish the lettuce leaves were bigger because most were too small for me to put anything inside. Overall, I enjoyed this dish, but it wasn't anything I would find myself ordering again. 5.5/10 My dining partner ordered a classic pad thai. He thought it was "pretty decent, 7.5/10". I think there are plenty of other Thai restaurants in the city that offer better value and flavor, so for that reason it gets 3/5 stars.

We remembered Thai Peacock as good. Several years and one approaching curtain time later, we…read moredecided to see whether memory had been seasoning the evidence. The friendly staff promptly showed us to our table. A QR code stood in for the menu, an arrangement I tolerate rather than celebrate. One quick request produced printed menus and restored diplomatic relations. We began with shrimp salad rolls, which arrived remarkably quickly, with crisp, fresh vegetables. The accompanying peanut sauce was flavorful without being thick or ponderous. Frankly, the only thing preventing me from drinking it was a lingering respect for table manners. My spouse ordered the Egg Noodle & Basil Stir-Fry, generously loaded with shrimp. I chose the House Thai Peacock Curry with tofu. Its combination of Panang curry and peanut sauce was rich and intriguing, with just enough spice to keep each bite interesting without turning dinner into a test of character. The food arrived quickly, our server remained friendly, and the lively atmosphere made Thai Peacock an excellent choice before a show at Portland Center Stage. The restaurant we remembered fondly is now firmly back on our list. Thai Peacock earned an encore.

How do I know about this restaurant?…read more For a very brief period of time, I decided to DoorDash... on a bicycle. It was very brief, due to the fact that Portland's hills are... well, I'm in a good shape, but I won't be in the Tour De France. A side benefit is that I learned where a lot of good food in Portland resides: Thai Peacock and Little Peacock made up a fair amount of my orders. How much do I like Thai? So much that I learned to make it myself, and I make a better than average Pad See Ew/Kee Mao... So when it came time for a lunch break, well, I couldn't wait to order from Thai Peacock. I got the Pad Ka Phrao (there was not an option for super hot / Thai hot... my one complaint about their system... more on that in a minute)... and started walking. It was easy to pick up, well labeled, and hot when I arrived. The reusable bowl (for the paper bag crowd who are taking notes.. this is Portland ya know)... was full of delicious meat and vegetables. The rice was packed separately, along with the single serving of added sriracha. The serving was more than generous, and good in its preparation. There are some caveats here: Thai Peacock does not make their dishes in the same way that many other Thai restaurants do... they do it with minimal ingredients, hoping you'll add on vegetables. It gets annoying when you're looking at ordering pad se ew, and you might otherwise get a similar dish for $7-$10 cheaper. The lack of an ability to add additional heat is also unwelcome. However, I understand that each Thai restaurant has its own way of making a specific dish. The generous portions make the bare bones dish a good value, if not the best representation of the dish I've had. This would be 5* for a group meal (no shortage of options, and consistent service), and 4* based on comparison to other Thai dishes at similar price points I've had. 5* here based on what most people would likely say. An extremely reliable restaurant with tasty food and generous portions deserves it.
