I know at a thai place medium is hot, but when i saw "mile, medium, hot, thai hot" I figured medium would be safe....... wrong. well, the medium pad thai was mild the drunken noodle medium was way hot! they made me a new batch at no charge! great customer service, oh yea, and the food? top notch read more

Had the opportunity to try Thai Carnation Restaurant with my coworkers and babyyyy... NEW FAVORITE THAI SPOT unlocked First of all, why do you have to be so far from me?! Because I will be back. We started off strong with a table full of appetizers. It was one of those "everyone grab something" moments, and listen... I had been up since 6am, starving, and completely forgot to take pictures until it was basically too late. But trust me, that alone should tell you how good it was. Crab puffs? Gone. Creamy, crispy perfection. Fried spring rolls? Devoured without hesitation. But that salt and pepper shrimp?? LISTEN. It tasted like somebody's grandma was in the back cooking with love. I could've eaten that as my full meal 10 times over and still asked for more. Then came the angel wings... OMG. At this point I was already full, borderline mad about it, because I wanted to keep eating. And I'm not usually a leftovers person....but these? Plus that one last shrimp sitting there? Oh no... they came home with me. And the best part? EVERYONE loved their food. No misses at the table. If you're debating, don't. Just go. And go hungry. read more

4stars. Ordered through Doordash. Didn't care for the Calamari, they were chewy squid. Also the sticky rice was burnt but mango was ripe and sweet. Other than that- Sweet Eggplant Stirfry, Spicy Shrimp and Chicken were delicious. I may try other dishes next time I'm in the area. read more

Great teriyaki chicken wings, delicious. However, the shrimp tempura tasted off putting. It coated my mouth like flour. Not recommended. The French fries had lost their crispness by the time I received them. Not recommended. read more

Needed some comfort food after turning in my Mom's apt keys nearby (RIP Mom) & a local area query pulled up this restaurant. Upon approach, saw an almost full parking lot, which I knew to be a good sign. Was pleasantly greeted upon entrance- another good situation! The menu offered a good variety of choices: I decided upon #86 & not only was it filling, but delicious with my favorite varieties of seafood, pineapple, veggies & curry! The service provided was good throughout my meal- very attentive yet not overly so. I would definitely return if in the area again. Highly recommended! read more

Pretty much empty place on weekend afternoon. Don't know if there was any heat on in a cold space. Menu had several offerings & advises heat selection. I requested chewy tofu & got it! Generous portions- sesame yakisoba was a bit greasy yet tasty; asian sausage fried rice was huge amount. read more

Great food! I was visiting from Seattle and really enjoyed the vibe there. I had the curry chicken dish and it was excellent.

Food was amazing, prices and portions were good. Would definitely return! Everything had great flavor. read more

Thai Carnation - Chicken pad Thai, tom kha soup, cashew stir fry - Thai Near Me - Troutdale, Oregon

Food here is always fresh, flavorful and delicious! The layers of sweet, spice, sour and sweet are a party in your mouth! My favorite is Pad Kee Mao, which is Drunken Noodles on their menu. It's my go to dish when I'm craving Thai because I love the wide rice noodles and flavor components. Their version is light on the heat so I ask for chili oil and add heat to please my palette. They are also light on the protein so I ask for extra chicken for $3 more. One order is then enough for dinner and lunch the next day. Big open space with plenty of booths and tables. They have a full bar. Service is friendly. They also do a lot of takeout. Have their own parking lot making it super convenient. I'm always going from Portland to Hood River and back, and Thai Carnation is often where I stop for dinner to eat there or takeout to enjoy at home. read more

Wow. No wonder this place has been well liked by the locals for a long time! First time trying and it was AMAZING. Authentic yellow curry, nice and thick. Pad Thai was great and good portion. Worth every penny! read more

Stopped by on a Saturday afternoon at 3pm because we were hungry and it had been awhile since we has Thai food. We had excellent friendly service and our orders can quickly. The spring rolls were great as an appetizer. I had their signature peanut lovers noodles with chicken and my lovely date has chicken drunken noodles. Big portions and after we had our fill we had plenty of leftovers to take home. Highly recommended. read more

We went to Thai Carnation on Christmas when our first choice of restaurants was too packed to get in. First there was an enormous Mickey Mouse belting out loud Christmas music that sounded annoyingly like The Chipmunks. Sadly, the food was dreadful. I ordered 4 appetizers and none of them was good. The fish cakes were too hard to cut or even saw through. None of the 4 of us enjoyed our meal, and we all agreed we would not return. We weren't surprised to soon after read about all the health code violations. It only validated our experience. read more

Have been coming here off and on since they opened. Favorites are the crispy duck and ginger and the thai bbq chicken wings with pineapple fried rice. Very tasty. Although the last time I had the crispy duck it was a little on the dry side but still tasty. read more

We came to this restaurant because we happened to be at a grocery store nearby on our Portland vacation. The ambience was nice. We arrived right as the restaurant opened for lunch. We had pumpkin for appetizer, which was good. The service from the staff was great. The pad Thai and cashew tofu we had was some of the best we've ever tried. I highly recommend coming here if in the area. read more

The place had a nice ambiance. Servers were great, friendly and receptive. We asked for some spoons for hr kids and they brought out cute kids plates and spoons and forks. They have a bunch of things ona kids menu as well. I thought the pad see ew was good, green curry wasn't the best I've ever had but still fresh and flavorful. read more

I always get Pad See Ew usually Beef and no egg. And they give a lot of sliced beef meat. And I would give a 5 rating. But this time I decided to get ship to see how many I would get and how much I would be charged. I got the order to go and I was charged $18.00 for a lunch price of Pad See Ew with Shrimp and no Egg. So I was expecting a lot of shrimp. I only got 5 pieces of shrimp!! For $18 that's Ridiculous I won't ever order with Shrimp again!! read more

This is our go-to Thai place when visiting the area. We love the pad Thai with tofu (pad Thai with chicken also good, but the two dishes taste completely different), both the pineapple and basil fried rice, and really anything else we've tried!! We've only ever gotten takeout, but ordering online has always been quick and easy and the service friendly when we pick up. read more

Nice folk but it seems like they make their food xxx sweet and the noodles dishes swim in sweet sauces.Truthfully most Thai restaurants are the same. Their soups are better though. read more

Always up to expectations. We order often. Pad Thai, pad woonsen, curries, salad rolls, stir fry, fried rice.. all good all the time

Server was attentive, and promptly sat us, provided utensils and brought water to us immediately. Didn't have to wait too long to order our food on a weekday during lunch hour. My spicy eggplant with beef dish was not on the lunch special menu but glad I went with it because it was super good! The papaya salad was made lao style and had a good mix of sweet, sour and spicy favor. I will visit again if I'm back in the area! read more

We ate here on our way to Mt. Hood. We wanted to take some left over food to the mountain so we ordered several items and all of them were very good. We ordered pad see ew, parang curry, one fish curry dish, and papaya salad. The portions were big so we ate the leftover for the next day. The staff were very friendly and service was good. read more

We went there a few weeks ago since it is right around the corner from us. We were a bit apprehensive since we didn't have good experiences in the past at this location. But this was wonderful, the food was very, very good. The staff was helpful in explaining the food to us, and they were fast and attentive since it was our first Thai experience. There was so much yummy food we took it home and ate two more meals from that. The owner (i assume) came to our table to welcome us as well. Great place to eat, bring the family!!!! read more

High quality Thai food! Each dish or appetizer we've had looks picture-worthy in color and is super tasty! Even if we've been the last takeout order for the night, there's no compromise in quality and the staff are friendly and efficient. They have some cute Thai artwork inside. read more

Living in the area most of my life and seeing failed restaurant after failed restaurant occupy this space, I've always been leery of going here, regardless of the restaurant. But I haven't found a good thai place nearby so I gave it a try. I ordered takeout (COVID) thru yelp for me and 2 kids. We got deep fried beef pot stickers, non-spicy chicken pad thai and medium spicy beef bad thai. The order was done fairly promptly and the guy inside was nice. The food was delicious! The kids loved theirs and mine was just the right amount of spice. The pot stickers were about the same as any other but not bad. The only negative I had was that the potstickers were thrown in a paper bag, not in a container. The bag was greasy and it just didn't look very nice. It would also be nice if the spice levels were reflected in the menu or when ordering online. I just put my spice preference in the comments hoping they'd see it, which they did. read more

The food and the service were great! Very flexible with options - tofu can be added to most dishes.

Good food, super nice staff! Eat in or to go we've never had a bad experience with this restaurant.

To be honest I wasn't expecting much but we needed a new Thai place as our go to so we gave it a try, We got the Pad See Ew, massamam curry and salad rolls all with tofu. The noodles and curry with medium spice were flavorful and fresh. The salad rolls were crunchy and had just the right amount of basil. We'll definitely be back! read more

The absolute best fried rice in town! I have tried all their different options of fried rice. Their pineapple fried rice combo with the chicken wings is my favorite. Their food has so much flavor, it comes out fresh and they give you great portions. Best place to get some fried rice and pad Thai. read more

I hate to come back and do another review that does not redeem my previous review... So I'm going to keep this short we came in here recently and got some to go food... It took almost an hour which meant about 40 minutes past the time they said it would be done. The food wasn't quite as good as it was before and it wasn't the most amazing in the first place. I will say this place has slowly gone downhill and it might be because of an increase in orders that they can't keep up with but it definitely doesn't have the taste it did when it first went from a cart to brick-and-mortar. And with two good Thai food places just down the street I would reconsider especially if you're planning on a quicker to go meal. read more
