    Pineapple Yellow Curry with shrimp added
    Christine B.

    Tasty,strong ice coffee; beautiful selection of food; curry I'm still dreaming about! We went to Hawthorne three times on our four day trip and I tried something from this cart every time! I tried two different curries, the glass noodles were also delicious. Great portions too!

    Service was fast and lots of seating options at the eclectic and very Portland Hawthorne Asylum foodpod. Very fresh Thai menu. We just tried the pot stickers. Love the option to have a huge variety of food carts in one place. There's truly something for everyone here.

    Pad See Ew
    Rachal C.

    We love a good Thai food truck! My husband and I have been here several times and the food is so delicious and comforting that we keep coming back! This place is nestled in the Hawthorne Asylum Food Truck pod, which is great for a quick bite to eat or to hangout with friends. Order at the counter and get your buzzer, but don't go far because you'll be surprised with how quick the food is ready! I will warn you that the food is PIPPING hot, so give it a second to cool down before you take a bite. The pad see ew is awesome, my only wish is that it was a tad saucier.

    Vegetable Egg Rolls
    Joanne S.

    3.5/5 One of the food carts in Asylum food carts. We got the beef salad medium spicy and the larb gai salad medium spicy. Beef salad was 4/5. I would definitely get it again. Spicy and sour. Perfect combination of savory and refreshing. Medium spicy was pretty spicy.. However the larb gai, although medium spicy was barely spicy at all. It seemed a little dry and bland. Definitely needed some more sauce/dressing. It was pork? Sitting on a bed of cabbage. Egg rolls were your typically egg rolls with sweet and sour sauce on the side. I wanted to try their mango sticky rice but they were out. Thai iced tea was good! It would get again.. but I'm usually not a huge fan since it's too sweet for me. If you prefer the typical sweetness of Thai iced tea not sure if you'll like it.

    We love this food pod setup. Great variety of food, gas fire pit/dining area, lots of tables in the shade, beer and wine and great decor. This was our first time at Thai Thantawan. The woman at the counter was attentive and helpful. I ordered the veggie vegetable egg rolls, Pad Ka Prao - with beef and the Pad see ew - w/ chicken. Because I was sharing with my daughters, I asked for nothing spicy. We were given a beeper which went off after about 15 minutes. We took our food to one of the shaded tables and opened everything up. It was hot and we had to wait a bit to fully dig in. The egg roles were really good and flavorful. The sauce that came with it was a great accompaniment. The pad ka prao was good and the vegetables were great. The beef was tender and the sauce had good flavor. The Pad see ew w/ chicken was really good. The noodles were great and chicken very tender. The portions were big and we had leftovers. I would definitely come back if in the area.

    Pumpkin curry with chicken

    The pumpkin curry was absolutely amazing! The atmosphere is very casual. You have to try this place if you're every in Portland! Friendly service, to!

    Yakisoba

    My mom ordered the Yakisoba here. She's not the biggest Thai fan but ended up really liking it and wants to go back for more. I had a bite and would concur.

    Veggie egg rolls-  5 for $6

    Kindness and efficiency is key! We will definitely revisit this food cart... Probably next weekend! My husband ordered larb gai and I ordered the veg spring rolls.

    Pad See Ew
    Stephanie M.

    It was a wet June Sunday and my friend and I just got done screaming our little heads off at the Portland Pride Parade. I was cold and hungry and needed something warm, filling, delicious, and comforting immediately. When I saw Thai Thantawan out of the collection of food trucks available I internally screamed "Yes! Pad See Ew". Pad See Ew is always a reliable choice when you are too hungry to make complicated food decisions. Their Pad See Ew was excellent and was exactly what my body needed. I did get a little adventurous and ordered a Thai Green Tea which I have never had before. It had the wonderful creamy texture of a standard Thai tea but with a subtle Matcha flavor. Thai Thantawan is a great pick in this sea of food truck options.

    I wish I had enough room to try everything on the menu! I went with the Panang Curry and it did not disappoint. Very hefty portions.

    Ordered vegetarian spring rolls from here among many things from a variety of food trucks. I absolutely love thai food and it is probably my favorite cuisine so it doesn't take too much to please me when it comes to thai! We were not fans of these spring rolls. They came out to $5 which was reasonable, but the flavors were so bland that we couldn't even finish half of them! The tofu was really mushy and the peanut sauce was so thick that the roll couldn't pick it up. Will not be ordering these again if I return, but maybe would consider trying something else on the menu given the positive reviews here from other yelpers :) Giving 3 stars because of the great price point and friendly service!

The sauce they use with the chicken and rice is great and is worth buying to take home to make your own dishes better. There is a good amount of seating both inside and out. I also tried the pork which was good but I prefer the chicken so will stick to that on a future visit. I have tried a lot of places that do the same thai style chicken and rice and it's almost always a miss for me, something is always off, usually the chicken is touch, or too dry, or lacking flavor but here it just hits right.

We had to wait a bit for a spot to open up but soon were able to sit with a high chair (located in the middle near the entrance). We got our number after ordering and food quickly came out after our wait to sit. We got Khao Man Gai Piset (with liver), Khao Kha Muu and chicken skins. The kids ate so much and the hainanese chicken was a kid friendly favorite! We really enjoyed the Khao Kha Muu which was similar to an adobo with yummy pickled mustard greens. The meat was tender and marinated so well. The liver is always enjoyable by me and everyone ate the skins which were so crispy! The 2 meals were large and fed all of us well. Please remember to bus your own table!

They have several vegan dishes and we generally get vegan versions of the Evil Jungle with Tempeh, Pad Kee Mao with Tempeh, and the Enoki Mushroom Salad. They also have various vegan specials from time to time, outside of their vegan menu, which have all been amazing and something we keep an eye out for. If you have the time to eat in, you definitely should to fully appreciate certain dishes; but they do an amazing job with doing their to-go orders as well - like frying certain items when you arrive so they don't get soggy from waiting to be picked up. The ambiance is really nice for an intimate or small group meal and this is one of my favorite places to bring people that aren't vegan as they have all been really blown away with the meat dishes they've ordered.

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.

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.

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.
