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!

Potstickers
Julie E.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Yakisoba
Alex W.

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.

Pumpkin curry with chicken
Jessica B.

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!

Veggie egg rolls-  5 for $6
Melanie T.

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.

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!

Carolina A.

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.

Friendly owners. Sizzling fresh food. Price was decent for a food cart serving seafood. I got the…read morelarge serving for $16 and that was a good choice. I came after a review I read on Eater for FoPo area eats. I'm not a huge fried food fan but this place was good. I got the Steelhead trout fish and chips. Wait was ok they give you a buzzer so you can stroll around the food court. Took about 10 mins not bad. The locally sourced steelhead was a delicious surprise. Tender, juicy fish with crispy breading. Good seasoning. Fries were thicker so not as crispy but still hearty. 3 medium sized pieces of fish. They included ketchup for the fries as well as malt vinegar and tartar sauce for authentic fish dip. Wedge of lemon, too! All in a earth-friendly cardboard box. They take credit just fine. Very convenient location at Carts on Foster just down the street from where I was staying. So I walked back and enjoyed there. If you're staying you could probably cruise over to any local breweries or the bar cart for a beer to complement the fried food. Good time!!!

One day I didn't budget my time properly so I was looking for lunch that wasn't fast food that I…read morecould eat in the car. Fish and chips to the rescue. I got the cod. It had a panko crust which sometimes I prefer to batter. They were a little bit salty for my taste but ever since I got COVID lots of things have tasted salty so take that with a grain of salt I'm not a tartar sauce guy but this is some great sauce. I feel like later I got a piece of tarragon(?) out of my teeth and reminded me of the herby yummy sauce. I scoffed at first at the chips. Very non uniformly cut but surprisingly all well cooked. I don't know if it's they type of potato but the skin was really off putting. But solid toothsome chips that a splash of vinegar helps a lot. If I end up in a similar position again I'll definitely consider coming back.

TLDR: Popular Portland food truck with a long wait, friendly service, and filling sandwiches that…read morewere worth it. ------ One of my Portland friends brought us here, and it ended up being a great recommendation. The food truck is located inside a food truck plaza with plenty of options nearby and ample outdoor seating with picnic tables. This particular food truck had a long line, which made the wait to order a bit lengthy. However, it was well worth it. The woman taking orders was incredibly kind and bubbly, which added to the overall experience. After ordering, the food took about 20 minutes to come out, but I did not mind since the sandwiches ended up being really good. The sandwiches were flavorful and very filling. Honestly, I probably could have been satisfied with just one sandwich. Overall, I thought this spot was worth the wait. I would definitely come back if I were in Portland again.

Came here after seeing that they have a scotch egg sando and knew I had to try it! This food truck…read moreis located in a food cart area with a ton of carts around so there's ample seating and a variety of options if you're coming with a group. The line ended up being pretty long around 3pm on a Saturday (they close at 3:30pm) and between ordering and getting our food, we waited about 30 min. I did really like the sando though. The scotch egg was nicely fried and crispy on the outside with a soft gyoza stuffing filling. My only wish is that it was a bit easier to eat and that it had more seasoning as the gyoza filling was a bit bland and the egg smaller than I thought it was be. But overall pretty tasty and definitely worth trying. I'll have to come back and try their OG Tokyo Nando sandwich.
