The lemon chicken here may be the best thing I've ever tasted. Seriously. The tofu veggie wraps with peanut butter sauce also have a special spot in my heart. If this review were based on food alone, it'd easily be five stars. Unfortunately, the restaurant is dark and uninviting. I wish it looked a little tidier and more put together inside. This business is situated on the adorable Willamette Drive strip in West Linn. This area is so posh and from the outside, Thai Lemon appears to fit in, but upon entering it looks like you're stepping into another, slightly less appealing, world. That being said, the outdoor seating is 10/10 when the weather allows for it. The staff here is always kind and friendly, but not supper attentive. I've eaten here a handful of times and while I can appreciate not being incessantly pestered while I'm eating, I do wish they'd maybe do a walk through every now and then. I find myself almost always going up to the host stand to ask for a to go box and my bill. That being said, I know what to expect here so I don't mind choosing a seat outside and expecting to flag someone down when I'm finished. The food is worth it and the people are kind. read more

I came here with my boyfriend for a late lunch. He got the crispy lemon cream chicken and I got the seafood green curry. We also shared a salad shrimp roll. I love the aesthetics here and the vibe. The food was just only average. I asked for Thai spicy and it was just a little spicy. I appreciate the added spices available on request. It helped add some flavor back into my meal. read more

Not impressed. Prices were ok. Service was subpar and interior was dark, very uninviting. It was a hot day and we thought the spot looked neat and decided to give it a try. I've had so much better around our area and was disappointed. read more

Came here for lunch randomly the other day and found it a bit disappointing. We ordered the seafood pho which comes with a combination of shrimp and squid according to the menu, but it only had 2 shrimp in the entire soup and the rest was all squid. It was an incredibly small portion for $21 and it was way too salty. The ingredients didn't appear or feel fresh, including the tomato and mushroom that was in the soup. We also ordered pad thai with chicken and it came with barely any protein. For the prices here, you can find much better thai food elsewhere. read more

We ordered the Thom Ka and Drunken noodles to take out. We were surprised at the smaller serving sizes when we got it home. For an $18 bowl of soup I expected more. The drunken noodles (also $18) were fair- lacked flavor and the tofu was way overcooked. This is our second try here in our neighborhood but we won't return. read more

Menu on their website shows a price of $10 for one item and $15 for another and I get there and they charge me $30 and they say I am looking at wrong menu and that I should look into it." I was looking at their actual website. A bunch of dishonest scammers. Wow. read more

Our household orders from here at least once a month! Favorites are pad Thai, chicken lemon cream sauce, spicy basil fried rice, pumpkin curry, Thai iced tea, and iced dark cocoa. HIGHLY recommended! read more

So tasty! I had the Chicken Lemon Creme with added mushrooms and I put it on my jasmine rice that was in shape of heart and it had breaded chicken. I absolutely loved it. Friendly service and she even changed the jazz music that I didn't prefer to some Thai music that I requested and that was wonderful. Comfortable chair. In the past, I had mango sticky rice and massaman curry that were the best I ever had and my husband had basil fried rice with chicken that he loved. Did not care for the mango juice, it tasted like an aluminum can so hopefully they get a different kind, like Kearns or something even better. We had a wonderful anniversary dinner, and there was a rose at our table. The server was very attentive and pleasant. read more

Food and service was excellent. Perfect portions for the amount charged. Wish we lived closer, we'd come back for sure.

Love this place. I order here weekly and everything is always delicious. They are very friendly and have quick service. I get delivery often and it's timely and fresh! Highly recommend! read more

Fabulous pumpkin curry. Service is always a "surprise experience." But very glad there in our community.

Thai Lemon has some good things going on like the signature basil spice chile and curry the country is renowned, many menu offerings considering the limited seats, an awesome $6 whisky selection--Templeton, Gentleman Jack, Johnnie Walker Red & Black label, +more and ditto for the Gin, Tequila and Vodka menu, $6 standard cocktails -lemon drop, sidecar, greyhound, $5 for 2 dozen drafts + another 20 bottles, and a counter + shelves full of wine by the glass--tells you something about pleasing the Willamette neighborhood, lol!! BUT to pleasure the masses that require sustenance to absorb the alcoholic indulgences, TL needs to be a little more generous with the inexpensive noodles and rice to satisfy the consistent complaints of small portions, and I have to agree. Perhaps it's a global warming initiative so there are no take-out containers for in-house diners as you can easily lick your plate if moderately hungry, but then shave another $2 off the prices ;) $12 Squid Penang was not overly fiery ordered Hot, with slurpable curry broth as the cute but minimal heart shaped rice quickly vanished as did the 5 pieces of squid, haha. The squid was fresh, cooked white (no flash sear) so a bit chewy but still enjoyable, with skinny asian beans and peppers that were snap crisp. $9.50 Beef Pad Khee Mao was very good and one of the few preps not overly sweet, so hubby could finally share. Bit more generous on the beef, but again sparse noodles that were just a tad over but still yummy, and we cleared the plates. A pFriem IPA with Templeton Rye back $11 for both made the perfect side ;) Inside is very dark, shades pulled to shield the wall of wine. It's like walking into a cellar, down a few steps into the restaurant and the beautiful sunshine we've been waiting for all this snowy Feb & March was all but a sliver of light through the front door which is also sheltered by a porch overhang. Kept my coat on too. There were 2 TVs, one in the dining area showing Thai cooking, and one in the bar that was off. Unsure if the bar is used as such as it was full with 20+ re-corked bottles of wine. I would return for simple drinks, and the food as a side for my own Thai Happy Hour since there is not one here, but not going to visit a $12 Manhattan unless I am in an actual cocktail bar. read more

Fast forward 3 years, and we find ourselves out of the pandemic, so I actually visit them for takeout about once a month. I have a repeated, monthly, appointment in the area so pretty much every time I get my takeout from there. They are always really friendly the food is prepared quickly and accurately. I'm still giving it 4 stars, because they are pretty expensive and the food is not the *best* of the places I occasionally visit (but still very good!). But if you find yourself in WestLinn, give em a try! You won't be sorry. read more

Ordered the pad Thai, which seems to be fairly easy to make taste good. However, this was overly seasoned with tamarind or something that made it orange. It was awful. If I could give it negative stars I would. The crab wontons were just OK not much crab flavor, and the crispy chicken with coconut rice was a pathetic serving. read more

Waitress was very pleasant but the food was uninspired and lacked flavor. Needed spice. Garlic would help a lot. The bathroom was fairly clean but behind a storage area. read more

some of the worst Thai food that I've ever had. Dirty and bad atmosphere too. Only ok service

Id say this is a solid 4.5 stars, easily one of the best Thai places for noodles (pad kee mao, pad thai) and i have tried many, dozens, here in portland alone. This might have them all beat, no lie. The curry was good, but not great, and the spice was not where i wanted it when i asked for one 'extra extra hot' i did add my own so thats fine. Pad Thai, a staple, but not always my crown jewel. Here i found myself going back til it was gone, and thays amazing. Its so sweet and flavorful, perfect noodles, and the tamarind sauce is on POINT. Pad Kee Mao, my baby, my first love, my very own was de throwned here by the pad thai. As i said above, it was amazing. Pad kee mao was cooled perfect, great oil, great spice, crisp veggies. Panang Curry, was good, very fresh, very strong, but nothing too 'wow' this is its half star dock. That said you cant half star so i rounded up, since pad thai kicked butt!! Will come here again Pro Tip : Look for them on groupon to get you to have a reason to try it!! read more

Well, we gave it a try and overall OK. Service was slow, and not much on the friendly service side. No one checked on us after we were served. My wife enjoyed her lemon grass chicken. It looked good, and wish I tried it. I did like the way they served the rice in a heart shape. I ordered the shrimp Panang curry. They got the heat perfect for me. The curry was tasty. However I was disappointed at the portion of five shrimps hiding in the curry. Will we go back, maybe but there are so many other Thai restaurants to explore. read more

Thai Lemon - Shrimp Panang Curry - Thai Near Me - West Linn, Oregon

I'll keep this review of my local Thai place short and sweet. My favorite items on the menu: ** Pumpkin Curry ** Avocado Curry ** Crab Meat Fried Rice I always order the pumpkin curry, but the other two items are specialties of this restaurant and ordered on occasion when I want to branch out from my typical order. The interior space has evolved over time. I actually preferred the older decor which had a bit of a jungle bungalow feel. Now it is more like a bottle shop with large coolers and shelves lining most of the walls. But, honestly, almost all of my orders are to-go, so I rarely dine in. They do offer a few discounts through the local circular and their new app, but they aren't amazing deals ($5 off your first $50 order). It is odd for a local restaurant (as opposed to a national chain) to have an app. read more

The food was excellent and cooked to perfection ! The service was great and friendly. The ambiance was relaxing. All and all I can't wait to come back. I would highly recommend Thai Lemon if you enjoy Thai food. read more

Incredibly rude service. The food was good, but I'll never come back. I don't think I've ever felt so creeped out.

We had THE BEST dinner here! Despite being short staffed, our waiter was very attentive and not only did the food come out quickly, it was the best Thai food I've had since moving to Portland. The crab rangoon, orange chicken, and mango paradise were amazing, but the Kao soi was epic! Best curry dish any of us have had in a long time. We will be going back as much as possible to support this restaurant and can't wait to try their take on mango and sticky rice. read more

I ordered the Tom Kha online as it is a favourite and it sounded so good. When I ordered I was given the option to receive a green tea for free - which was very yummy. The pick up setup was good and the waitress friendly. I was a little disappointed in the size of my soup for $12...in my experience most restaurants give me twice as much for approx the same price. That being said the flavour was really good (it was the first time I've had it with tomatoes) hence the 4 star rating. read more

The food is amazing so I don't know where the negativity comes from . We got pad Thai , pineapple curry and orange chicken as lo well as The staff is so friendly and accommodating . read more

Bare bones dining room. Our view was facing the cash register and a curtain separating the kitchen. The waiter was totally disinterested in our party of four. He was not attentive to us. We had to summon him to reheat two entrees because they arrived lukewarm. We had to seek him out for soy sauce since it was not offered. It came in packets. The food was mediocre at best. The waiter spent the time we were there on his cell phone, in view of the diners. I can think of no reason for returning here. read more

Extremely poor service. Do not recommend. I am travelling from east coast and I have not seen this kind of service anywhere before. The servers are super rude and racist. read more

Gave this place another chance and it was worse than the first time. Ordered curry and the potatoes seemed VERY old and grey. Had a ton of lime added as if they were trying to "brighten" old food. read more

Been coming for years food is delicious never had a bad food experience. A couple of years ago they raised the prices on their items which made me very angry and disappointed. The service is also somewhat slow and the interior is not very good looking, it looks as if it is under construction. Overall a good restaurant but they need to mark down their prices and fix up the inside, other than that the food is great definitely recommend. read more

Please do not eat here unless you like high prices, slow nonexistent service and the SMALLEST PORTIONS you ever seen. I won't even mention how 2 employees mocked me in another language when I said (very professionally) how I was disappointed with our 1 1/2 time at the restaurant. Will I be returning, hell no! This place only does well because it is the only game in town. Someone please open a Thai place in West Linn. read more

This place used to be great however they have been possessed by Ubereat or pick up. They do not acknowledge the customers who come into their restaurant anymore. Sad. read more

Food is always amazing and when you ask for changes/additions they are great about it!! This is our go to and really only Thai place we get food from. The spring rolls are the best along with the sauce that comes with them. read more

My second order was such a disappointment. Ordered tofu tod with peanut sauce. No peanut sauce... Ordered tofu cashew. No cashew. What a bummer. read more

OKAY. I'm conflicted when it comes to this place but their food is the bomb so I'm at 4 stars. Food is pretty good and fresh - but service is awkward. Idk, maybe I'm the only one? GET THE PAD THAI CHICKEN AND PAD SE EW W/ BEEF. Good stuff. read more

I'm very particular about my Thai food, generally only ordering pad kee mao, Tom kha or papaya salad. Many Thai restaurants don't have the pad kee mao with a beef option, so I generally pick one of the latter two choices. Not only does Thai lemon have the beef option, it is by far, the very best pad kee mao I've ever had. It is incredibly flavorful, even without adding spice. It has the perfect amount of sauce and the beef is always tender. read more

This place is outstanding! It's our little local Thai place and all the dishes are wonderful. I especially like the mango curry- or their Tom Kim soup is delicious- one can taste the ginger and lemongrass base. My daughter gets the beef fried rice and I have noticed that they use very fresh vegetables in this. And of course the chicken sauté and crab Rangoon!! My wife likes the place because it rates really high on some official cleanliness ratings.... Updates: still ordering it delivery style- so delicious- makes dinner so cool in the current situation.... read more

Great food, good take-out process. Everything was packed well and even ready a little early.

We used to like this place and the food was good. But tonight they made our pad Thai with shrimp rather than the chicken we had ordered and charged us extra for shrimp. They didn't offer to make it over or even charge the chicken price. We also ordered Chinese sausage fried rice. The sausage was in a weird egg pancake on top, not mixed in as we would have preferred. Both dishes were not good. The shrimp salad rolls seemed very small and limp not crispy and the peanut sauce was more like peanut butter. Just all around a very disappointing dinner and not cheap. $18 for fried rice?? And $9 for the dismal salad rolls. Not coming back. read more

food tastes decent but my stomach felt like absolute shit after. not real food. Get your food somewhere else
