    This place sometimes feels like a hit or miss with this last experience as being a hit, we ate it…read moreall up and took the rest to go. Portions are large and meant to be shared family style. We shared the cream cheese wontons, coconut curry with chicken spice level 2(which comes with rice), and the luc lac. Everything was deliciousss! The chicken in the curry broke apart so easily and the curry itself was very flavorful. Spice level 2 was perfect for a little kick, but not too much. The meat on the luc lac has a nice char on it and a sauce that is almost sweet. Service is quick and the vibe inside is very trendy with colorful decor and lights. Great for a night out. Previous visits have sometimes left us confused as if we ordered something different than a usual so i would say it is not too consistent but great if you catch it on a good day.

    We came here for dinner on a weekday evening. There was long line, we had to wait about 15 minutes…read more While waiting, we leaned about their unique way of taking orders. They took our drinks order and handed the drinks while we were in the line. Once we got to the register, we put in our food order and paid. The restaurant was semi self served. We got to our table few minutes after ordering. Guests also had the option to order to go and dine in the tent tables outside. The interior of the place was so stunning. There were dragon on walls, umbrellas in the ceiling, a huge full service bar. Our dishes came out within few minutes. We got the chicken skewers, chicken pho, chicken luc lac and steak rolls. We liked the small plate dishes, but the entree ones were disappointing. The chickens were chunky and dry, bland flavor. As much as we loved the vibe of the place, we didn't enjoy the food as much. The staff members were very joyful and friendly. They were explaining the process to every guest and keeping everyone informed on waiting time. During dining, they were also available to help.

    ** - A Taste of Home in the Heart of Portland**…read more After trekking across this great (and sometimes questionably flavored) nation, I've learned one thing: **nothing beats the taste of home**. And by home, I mean the fiery, fragrant, soul-warming flavors of Lao and Thai cuisine--the kind that makes you close your eyes and teleport straight back to family dinners where your aunties judged your rice-eating skills. Enter **this glorious food cart** in Portland--a beacon of hope in a city that sometimes thinks "spicy" means "lightly dusted with black pepper." The moment I heard the owner speak Lao, I knew I was in good hands. (Also, major bonus: I got to practice my native tongue, because if I don't, my grandma will *absolutely* call me out at the next family gathering.) Now, let's talk about the **larb**--oh, that beautiful, herbaceous, lime-kissed masterpiece. It's the kind of dish that makes you want to whisper *"sabai dee"* to yourself between bites. And if you skip the **fried sticky rice with mango** for dessert, we can't be friends. It's like eating golden clouds of happiness. Portland, you've got your artisanal donuts and kale smoothies, but *this*? This is the real deal. **10/10, would abandon my adventurer lifestyle to eat here every day.** Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go lie down in a food coma and dream of chilies.

As well as the mango chicken curry and the chicken was very tender and moist, cooked to perfection. It could have used more mango flavor though IMO. We also tried the boiled quail eggs, which are good but nothing very special about them. It's a nice atmosphere, I wish they had more outdoor seating for nice days but there are two small tables out front for dining. Service is very friendly and prompt. Parking around this area is always tough.

    Foods: hmmm, the dishes were mostly drowning with coconut milk; as if, they found this one panacea…read moreto solve all chefs' problem. Yes, coconut milk is a fine ingredient for S.E. Asian curries but, like all ingredients, it should not be pushed overboard. We ordered the Family Feast style meal and a single Khao Soi. The Khao Soi is too sweet for my taste for a curry soup noddle; perhaps, I am just not in tuned with Burmese curries. I'd much prefer Malaysian & Indonesian curries, where the curries are leaning towards more savory and do not taste like desserts. Even the other curries from the Family Feast were too sweet. I blame it on the overuse of coconut milk. Service: a single white waitress was serving, covering 4-6 tables, although the place wasn't very busy. She was courteous but goofed up a little when she accidentally spilled water on my thigh, although she apologized profusely. Ambiance: mostly low noise, people at each table spoke softly and are respectful of other people's pleasure in eating their foods. Lighting is soft and somewhat dim. Conclusion: would I return? Probably not on my own accord but it's OK if my folks want to eat there.

    I have mixed feelings about this place. The problem wasn't with the food. In fact the food was…read moredelicious. I got the Red Curry and it was so flavorful, like really good stuff. But when the lady in the food cart handed my order to me, she apologized because it was so hot. She handed me a tall plastic container stacked a carton of rice on top and gave me two napkins. The container was so hot to the touch that I thought I would drop it. I had a concert to go to at Moda but i tried cooling this down for 15 min. I thought it was cool enough but it wasn't. I was pretty hungry and took a bite and still burned my tongue because it was still scalding hot. I'm disappointed about that as I suffered the rest of my night at my event at Moda. However, the price was reasonable and the red curry was darn tasty, and it was a great portion size. It took about 20 min before it wasn't scalding hot but because it was a tall narrow container, it wasn't going to cool quickly. Why couldn't they have given a proper disposable bowl. That would have made it safer to eat and I probably wouldn't have burned my tongue. 20 min is a long time for food to cool down. I think this was a one off incident, but I want to post this to let the owner know, they shouldn't be serving scalding hot curry to their customers. Watch the temperature of your foods, please. I still loved the flavor so much that I will come back, hopefully when I don't have an event at Moda and hopefully it isn't scalding hot. I tried to take a pic of my dish but it came out blurry unfortunately as my smartphone camera was having issues, so sorry no pictures.

    This place is not good. I'm sorry but.... No. Long review short: the food just lacks flavor. I…read moreordered a pad Thai with beef and while made fresh and hot to order, it just was not flavorful. I also ordered their tofu salad rolls and while the rolls were fresh, the peanut sauce that normally makes this basic dish great was horrible. It was almost as if they took some leftover curry juice, watered it down, and threw it in the bag. I wonder if they just ran out of peanut sauce? Even if so, this was not a good substitute. I came back a separate time just to order an original milk tea with boba and the boba was horrible (maybe old?) and the drink was very mid. Overall, keep moving. Freshly made, friendly service, but this is not good Thai food.
