Thai Herbs is hands-down one of the best kept secrets in Portland's food scene. Nestled right in the heart of charming Multnomah Village, this cozy spot delivers some of the most authentic and flavorful Thai dishes I've ever had--and their Thai Basil with Chicken? Absolute perfection. From the very first bite, the bold, aromatic flavors had me hooked. The chicken is incredibly tender and juicy, stir-fried to perfection with just the right amount of sear. But it's the basil and spice combo that steals the show--fragrant Thai holy basil, sautéed garlic, and thin slices of chili that bring a perfect heat level without overpowering the dish. Every bite bursts with a balance of sweet, savory, and spicy that keeps you going back for more. The sauce clings to every piece of chicken and rice like a dream--salty with a kiss of sweetness, layered with that deep umami flavor that only great Thai cooking can deliver. And if you like a little kick, ask for medium or hot--it's bold but totally manageable, and they balance it beautifully. Service is always friendly and fast, and the vibe is welcoming whether you're dining in or grabbing takeout. If you're a fan of Thai food, you need to experience this dish. Thai Herbs is a gem I'll keep coming back to again and again. read more

We had wonderful service and delicious food in the garden at this charming restaurant. It was good visiting Multnomah Village again, and this restaurant is another good reason to go, I had lemon grass chicken, drenched in stunning peanut sauce. My friends had a spicy red curry and stir-fried veggies. We all ate heartily and had leftovers overs for lunch the following day. Much to enjoy and appreciate here. read more

A cute location in Multnomah Village with great skylights and lots of light indoors. Our service was quick and the food was pretty decent. I got pad woo sen noodles, which overall were pretty tasty, but the chicken just had kind of an old flavor to it. Like it wasn't spoiled, but it didn't taste very fresh either. The rest of the dish was good. read more

Cute spot and the food was delicious! We sat on the porch on a sunny afternoon (in February!!) had the spring rolls (not fried, the rice paper ones) and they were delicious. Had my go-to pad Thai. Also delicious. Service was good. Recommend this spot. Parking is limited right out front with three spots and you have to be able to get up some stairs to access the restaurant. read more

I came here with friends after playing tennis at a nearby park. It was pretty difficult to find parking nearby. They do offer a 5 minute parking in front of restaurant for picking up. I appreciated that dishes that could be made vegan were clearly marked on the menu, though not very plentiful. I got the Pra Ram, veggies and tofu in peanut sauce with rice on the side. The peanut sauce was a little on the weak side and I asked for extra that was $2.50. it was better with the extra peanut sauce. We did enjoy the outdoor dining with a nice cool breeze on a summer evening. The wait staff was nice and friendly. The food was brought out fairly quickly. read more

We are fortunate to have moved to Multnomah Village a few months ago and we have been wanting to try this place and finally popped in last night with our pup. We sat out in front which is very fun. Our two waitresses were so friendly. We enjoyed the beef salad, yellow curry and pad Thai. They were all delicious. The place was busy and we saw many people stop in to pickup take-out. Parking tip (from an insider): parking in the village is tough and tight, just drive up one of the nearby streets (33rd, 34th, 35th) and park on the residential street. read more

First timer. Sat on the front porch, chilly but a little sun so we gave it a shot. Server was very nice and set us up with a high chair for my granddaughter. We had Flat noodles, fried rice, and red curry. Tom Ka Kai soup too. With the cold air, the hot food was amazing. Just the right amount of spiciness.Soup was among the best I've had. Fresh mushrooms and onion and tomatoes. Curry was tangy and certainly made from scratch. Spring rolls too that were crisp and full. Had a Singha to wash it down. Prices were fair and we took a lot of food home. Loved it. read more

This is a cute little Thai place tucked away in Multnomah Village. We came after the dog park and loved to find that the patio was very dog friendly. Our waitress got them water and let them sit at the bench for a photo. The Pad Thai was good, but sweeter than what I'm used to. The pineapple fried rice was unique as there were raisins in it! Half our party liked it but the other half didn't care for it. We had their Pad See Ew and curry was tasty, too. A must eat is their mango sticky rice! Such sweet mangoes! read more

Thai Herbs was our go-to Thai place when I lived in Portland, so I had to revisit this place while in town visiting. It is just as good as the old days. We got the Tom Kha soup and Tom Yum soup with tofu, both are absolutely delicious. It is perfect for a cold raining day. It comes with abundance of vegetables, it is very filling. I love the presentation of the soup, it makes the dining experience so much more fun and interesting. They have plenty of outdoor seating on the patio, the string lights and the happy Thai music in the background give relaxing vibes and fun atmosphere! read more

I hate to leave a bad review, but the food here just isn't good. Prior to the takeout I got today, I've been in person and ordered take out about a total of four times. The first few times it was pretty okay. Nothing special, but not bad for a neighborhood Thai restaurant. Tonight, however, the quality of the food was pretty bad. It was a step below mediocre, but still edible. The almost rotten lime wedges that accompanied the meal perfectly summarized the quality of the meal we were about to eat. We ordered pad see ew, pad kee mao and spring rolls. Both noodle dishes were pretty bland and underwhelming. The spring rolls were actually pretty good flavor wise, but they were put in the bag with the hot food, which warmed them significantly and made them pretty sticky and gross. In short, I won't be back. read more

This is a great little Thai restaurant nestled in multnomah Village. The ambiance / aesthetic is a 5 based on its charm (what looks like an old house), cleanliness and contour. I had tried the Pad Thai previously and was not a fan but was ver impressed by the Pad se ew. The Mango tango was a delicious rendition of the cashew chicken I had previously tried. Well worth a try if you find yourself in the area (as the staff guidance helped with great recommendations on customer favorites) and want to try some different preparations of popular dishes. read more

I have enjoyed Thai Herbs for many years and it just never gets old! My favorite dish is the pad see ew with chicken or tofu. The red curry is wonderful, and I also love the salad rolls and tofu soup. All servers are very kind, informative, and pleasant. Plus if I want extra/substitutes in my dish they are ver accommodating. In addition to all this, their service is really fast especially if you order to-go over the phone. While they have busy hours and it can be a bit of a wait, they generally are very speedy. Thanks Thai Herbs! read more

Last night I ate Rad Nah with tofu, a rice noodle dish, at 8:30 pm. From 10:30 pm until 3:30 am, I was throwing up and had diarrhea several times. I know from decades of foreign travel how food poisoning affects me: first with sharp pains in my stomach to announce what to look forward to, then nausea starting at around 2 hours after eating and at times diarrhea after that. This was non-stop for 5 hours. I returned today and talked to the waitress who served us last night to warn her of poisoning others. She said she had the cook prepare a second dish from the same pan for her last night and she didn't get sick. OK, well that's fine but that doesn't negate the fact that I got sick. She's maybe 40 years younger, eats there all the time, etc. No comments about informing the kitchen or the owners. Although I live near the restaurant and have been there many times, never again. read more

( Mango Sticky Rice )To be honest, I was a little skeptical because it has average ratings but when I arrived at the location, it was eye catching and pretty. The patio's vibe reminded me of the experience I had back in Cambodia and Thailand. Entering the restaurant, the songs were nice and it was American retro designed. I just ordered a mango sticky rice and oh my goodness it was a 10/10. Rice wasn't dry or too soft. Right amount of coconut sauce. I'm not the biggest fan of mango but it was soft, ripe, DELICIOUS. it was so good i had to write a review try out their mango sticky rice!!! read more

Ugh, why do I keep giving this place more and more chances when it always disappoints!? Of 5 trips, 4 have been not good, only the first was good months before the pandemic. When will I learn? I guess because I like to walk at Gabriel Park, I want to follow it up with some Thai food, but this is not the place. We ordered a Pad Thai to go and this is how we received it, please see the pic, in a small little flimsy topple over container. They do NOT use peanut sauce but this other sour sauce for this dish. She said that peanut sauce wasn't the original recipe and Americanized. Well I guess I like the Americanized version then! It just wasn't good overall. No one asks you if you liked the food. No one refills waters. You have to ask to get more than one small napkin or go inside and get it more often than not. The Thai food cart in the area is better and I will review it soon. read more

I don't like to leave bad reviews but the quality of food here is just NOT good. We decided to try this place for the first time and it was SO disappointing. My Mom got the Lemongrass Chicken and the chicken came out not grilled (maybe steamed?) but it was an unappetizing piece of white, cheap, compressed chicken meat in the shape of a breast. She sent it back to the kitchen to have it actually grilled and they did that and it looked a little better, but she tried to eat a few pieces and couldn't. She asked to take it off the bill but they refused and said she ate half which just wasn't true. I got the Pad Thai and had a luke warm bite of tofu and then a disgusting bite of cabbage that tasted like dirt. I left the whole dish there (besides a few bites) and had zero appetite at this point. I love Thai food and am used to better places. We had to pay for a few bites of really bad food that left me without an appetite entirely. Buy better quality meat! The cooking and quality was terrible! read more

Had the green curry with shrimp and their tofu rolls. I choose mild heat but in general I do love spicy this place had the most delicious peanut sauces! One was this delightful savory peanut creaminess! And dipping the tofu rolls in it was DIVINE Y'ALL! Everything tasted so FREAKIN FRESH! The lettuce and spinach was crispy, the carrots were nice and flavorful! The wrap stuff was smooth and tasty! (I am using way too many exclamation points, but you guys have no idea how amazing it was!) Then..... the curry yo..... it was just the right amount of heat to the flavor ratio..... so yummy and I couldn't eat it all in one sitting so I took it home, it continued to get hotter and more flavorful day by day! I am craving it again after this review now! What are you waiting for?! Go get your Thai food from here.... NOW! read more

I'm not sure what I was ever thinking giving this place 4 stars. I had to correct myself and give it 5. This review is based on vegetarian food (non-meat) items. Having tried many other Thai restaurants in the metro area, I can now confirm that Thai Herbs is the best we have come across. First reason: high quality ingredients. The flavors just are better and it's a clear distinction for us now. It's like night and day from other Thai restaurants. Secondly: not greasy at all. Tastes light and flavorful, even their pineapple fried rice with tofu was light. Third: prices are very fair considering you're getting a better product than most any other Thai place in PDX, Beaverton, Hillsboro, and the Lake O area. Fourth: can accommodate my partner's unique garlic allergy. This sealed the deal as we have gotten literally identical dishes at other Thai restaurants that made him very sick from garlic even though we asked for it removed and these places confirmed they could do so before we ordered. If you want the best Thai in the metro area and you're vegetarian, this is the only place to go. read more

Incredible!! The best Thai food we have ever had. To be fair, I haven't been to Thailand yet, but I…read morehave tried a variety of Thai places across the U.S. This was amazing and I will definitely make a special stop here next time I am in Portland. Service was efficient on a weekday for lunch. I was very impressed that the woman serving us also cooks. She said she has one other person helping her over the weekend. The food was SO DELICIOUS. This was the best pad Thai we had with such depth of flavor - not too sweet or oily, just perfect. We also had the pad kra pao, eggplant and tom kha. The tom kha had good flavor and with a thinner broth that I'm used to which was fabulous. The eggplant was so delicious - the consistency was incredible. Not too soggy, just right. I also tried the mango sticky rice. For drinks we had the Thai lemon tea which tasted like Thai iced tea without the milk and lemon added - delightful! We even bought an extra dish to take with us to go. Amazing place. Ambiance is casual. I can't wait to return.

We had an awesome experience at Zaap! We went at an odd hour but they were ready and on their game!…read moreSuper friendly service and we had a tall beer in no time. The egg rolls were really good, so was the Duck Curry, but the fried rice stole the show. Something so simple packed with so much flavor. Very laid back vibe, with a bit of a dark subtle decor that allows for a solid date spot as well.

Wow I can see why the line was out the door, this place was PACKED!…read more You order first before finding a spot to seat. Came with a group of friends and we loved everything. Love coming on a group so we could try everyone's dishes from the noodle soups and rice dishes. I ordered the #12 Ba Mee Tom Kha. Perfect for a chilly day. Pork belly so crispy and good. Definitely not your basic Thai food. Everything was packed with flavor.

Food came out super quick and was so delicious. 11- ba mhee moo-ab haang- sold at the 12 hour braised pork line in the description. 12- Tom kha- one of the best I've ever had 19- steamed pork dumplings- incredible and super flavorful Can't recommend this place enough!

It is, in a word, perfect. I can only imagine what their other offerings taste like, but I myself may never know because the Green Curry is just that good. Add in excellent and attentive service and a very Portlandesque atmosphere and Paadee is a definite winner. Easily one of the best Thai restaurants in the city. If I were to pick one thing to gripe about it's that it's so good that sometimes seating isn't available, but good for them. Get it to go instead if that happens.

We are greeting letting us know to come to the front of the counter to order although the sign says Please wait to be seated. A little confusion but with smiles, so we are happy. They are moving chairs... sit here..or here. A stack of menus by the point of sale...but you know this place is good by the smells, laughter and the smiles, the vibe...you want to be here everything is moving smooth. The person same person that guided us with the menu also delivered one of the dishes. We order some Thai ice teas, Pad see ew and Tom kha gai. The noodles fat wide on the Pad see ew. Some veggies huge bomb shrimp cooked perfectly, everything cooked spot on. The soup cream coconut flavors a little steamy on the cool day in Portland. Great tasting. They stop by to drop off the food and come by later delivering spices and checking on us. A bustling place. I see an egg plant dish.. must try that... the crowd is upscale... the food some of Portland's finest.

They were super tender, so juicy, literally the most perfect meatballs. Topped with some kind of cream sauce and lots of fresh green onion, it was perfect. I also got the massaman curry with tofu, which was a very generous portion! It was a good curry! And I loved the default rice not being plain white rice, mine had some kind of sprouted grain that (I feel like lol) made it more appetizing and fulfilling. But again truly get the meatballs.

Ambiance is nice, lots of tables for groups of 2-4. The noodle portion is generous, and taste was great. For the spring rolls you get 4 pieces so two rolls, peanut sauce is good. Price is also decent it was about 20.00 per person for plate, drink and appetizer.

Most of my friends liked their dishes, but I honestly was disappointed with the crab fried rice I ordered. I felt the dish to be mostly scrambled eggs, with some small bits and pieces of actual crab on a bed of not-so fried rice. I just think for nearly $20, I'd be getting a better dish. Otherwise, I did try their Pad Thai, and that was pretty good and tasted authentic. The service was also friendly and great. If your about the ambiance, its pretty IG friendly with the colorful wallpaper and decor. Give this place a try if you like creative thai food, and ur about the vibes. Just don't order the crab fried rice.
