    lovelyyyyyyy omg so good beyond wonderful all around !! get the calamari 100% with spicy mayo !!

    Pad Khee Mao (with chicken)
    Kimmy L.

    Thai Bloom! is a nice and modern restaurant located in Alphabet District downtown. After shopping, my friends and I came across Thai Bloom! for a late lunch before heading home. We arrived at around 2pm and there were only a few other tables full. The restaurant is quite spacious with both bar and table options. As other Yelp reviewers have noted, they have an extensive menu that includes many unique dishes like crispy duck and Khao Soi as well as favorites like pad thai, pad see ew, and pineapple fried rice. Their prices are on the higher side (with their most popular dish, crab pad thai, priced at $26), but most dish portions (espeically their rice and noodle dishes) are GIGANTIC and can easily feed two people. They also have weekday lunch specials, but we were unfortunately there on a weekend and so this was not an option for us. I ordered the PAD KHEE MAO (approx. $17 plus tip) with chicken. They don't ask for spice stars here, but they will bring homemade hot chili oil and paste upon request. I have to say that this pad khee mao was very different from any other pad khee mao I've had in the past as it was very saucy and didn't have any tomatoes. The sauce was also different (in a good way) and reminded me more of a slightly creamy pasta sauce than the usual vinegar and soy sauce. The vegetables consisted of green onion, peppers, and onions, which were quite good, but I wish the dish was a little less heavy on the onions and included broccoli or some other vegetable instead for more variety and texture. The chicken was moist and they were quite generous with the amount! As noted above, the portions were HUGE and I had to share some with my friend to finish it as it would've been enough food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner for me! Service was okay. Our waitress was friendly and they brought our food out piping hot. However, it took a while for them to bring the bill and ring us all up at the end of our meal and so we were just sitting there for a while. Note that there is an automatic 18% gratuity for parties of 6+, which is fair. The interior and bathrooms are clean, so no complaints there. Overall: 4/5 for food, 3.5/5 for service, 4/5 for atmosphere

    Massaman Beef Curry Dinner
    Daniel S.

    Ambiance: 7/10 casual sit down place. Service: 8/10 server was super nice, helpful, and patient Food: 6/10 this was a dish I would order again but wouldn't recommend getting the beef with it. The beef is slow cooked and offers a darker flavor than the light, warming flavors of the curry. The curry was super thick and creamy and the veggies were delicious especially with the cilantro. Next time I'll get the chicken but all in all a good dish

    I love their summer rolls! So fresh so flavorful and the peanut sauce is incredible, they usually give you two versions and both are delicious. the staff are always nice. Menu is EXTENSIVE so it can be overwhelming. Food itself can be a hit or miss, their appetizers are always a hit ‍

    Drunken Noodles Lunch with beef
    Andilee J.

    Spicy chicken wings were phenomenal! Best wings I have ever had; crispy on the outside but juicy. And the sauce was an amazing contrast of sweet and spicy. The drunken noodles and pad Thai were also wonderful. Service was amazing! Very attentive, answered all our questions, and checked in often. A cute spot with outside seating right in NW 23rd. Highly recommend!

    Pad Kee Mao

    We went for Happy Hour. The highlight is the service. Super friendly, attentive and present. Our favorites were the edamame, drunken noodles with tofu and tamarind margarita. We asked for everything to be hot spicy across the board and it was still manageable The pad thai was a bit too sweet and the thai fried rice didn't have much flavor to it. Price was the only reason why I brought it from a 4 to a 3. Their happy hour prices are now as much as the full menu price in other nearby decent thai places - but with half the portion Their normal price is almost double for the same dish or curry, and I don't think the food nor the ambiance is worth that even with the service.

    I'm from California visiting and this is The best Thai food I have ever eaten! The flavors are on point! The chicken satay was cooked perfectly and the yellow curry is delicious my favorite was the pad See Eew with barbecue pork and prawns a bit spicy but the flavor is on point10/10 Yum. The chicken wing was savory and tasty broccoli beef yum. The he iced tea perfect the service was great the atmosphere nice. The place was clean and especially the bathroom. Can't wait to be back and definitely be looking forward to eating here again!

    Paid Thai, appetizers (2 pcs eaten already!)

    An early lunch so there were not very many people in the restaurant yet. Our server was perfect; came as appropriate, but not too much. Very ample portions. There is outdoor seating. It appeared to only have street parking. We will go back again.

    Yellow Curry (Tofu)
    Alea A.

    Very nice staff. Extremely attentive. The servers refilled our waters 3-4 times without us needing to call them over which was a nice change compared to other restaurants. They had no issue splitting our bill 3 ways which is always a plus. I ordered the Yellow Curry (with tofu) which had a mild flavor. The tofu and veggies were much harder than I like and the rice was mushy. The noodles my friends tried (Drunken Noodle and Bangkok Noodles) had better seasonings and tastes but were not anything spectacular. The observant and polite servers were appreciated but the food was underwhelming. Especially since the restaurant is on a busy and popular street, meaning there are many good dining options just steps away.

    Love Thai Bloom -- been going for years but just now getting around to a review. Some of the tastiest Thai in Portland. They are a bit on the pricier side ($17-$24 for an entree) but otherwise everything is outstanding. The eggplant stir fry in particular is superb and I don't even like eggplant. Highly recommend their happy hour and any drink from the bar (they have strong pours!). Popped in on NYE and they had lovely holiday decor still up and put NYE head accessories at every table! Very festive! The service is consistently very attentive and the staff are all very friendly. Edit: updated to add happy hour menu!! Just stopped by again & had a great time :)

    Brian K.

    Very good food. We enjoyed pretty much everything we got. The green curry had a little kick and was a good classic thai curry flavor. The chicken satay appetizer was tender and had a great peanut sauce. The crying tiger had a nice tangy sauce. We also like the chicken fried rice and the beef pad see ew. Staff was really nice all around and very attentive. We also appreciated the air conditioning since it was pretty hot outside.

    Drunken Noodles Lunch
    Cheryl L.

    Thai Boom should be the name of this place as the flavor of the dishes pack a punch. I really loved it. Service was great and portions were good. We had the: Drunken noodles- 4/5 (spicy and flavorful) Tom Kha soup- 5/5 (and you have to get rice with it) Thai Iced Tea- 5/5 (companion drank half of it before I could get to the photo) Plenty of seating during lunchtime. It was quite busy for a late lunch at around 2 pm. Going to the bathroom is a bit tough since you need a code to get in. Luckily they were nice enough to help me with the code. The bathroom was clean. This place hit the spot with its flavors, service and portion size.

    basil fried rice with chicken
    Linda H.

    It was my first time at this location a couple weeks ago for a friend's birthday. It was a large party, of about 20ish people, so we were given a private room with a $100 deposit that was to be applied towards the bill at the end. As part of the first half to arrive, my friend ordered a glass of wine that was forgotten about and had to remind the server once everyone else received their drinks. 20 people is definitely a lot, so there is some leniency from the group, but I feel like the server did not even try to remember anyone's orders and resorted to announcing the dish upon entrance into the room and waited for someone to claim it. One server was definitely not efficient for a group of our size. For an appetizer I ordered the crying tiger, which says on the menu "tender, marinated slices of flank steak lightly grilled" but it did not come out lightly grilled, more so dry and overcooked. Another person at the table ordered the dish medium rare for it to be served with no pink at all. For my entrée I ordered the basil fried rice with chicken. Portions were big but the rice was mushy. My friend ordered the signature boat noodle soup that I found very oily. Another friend ordered tom yum soup that came room temperature and another friend said they saw it on a table outside of the private room when they went to the restroom and still there when they came back so it must've been there for awhile. I don't recall anyone loving their meal. There is a cutting fee for cake but I unfortunately do not recall how much. With a party that size, the check was not able to be split and the server had to be reminded of the $100 deposit that was to be applied on the bill. Gratuity was 22%. All in all, there are better Thai restaurants in town and it would not be my first choice to come back here.
