Thai Square

We had pad kra pao with chicken and garlic & pepper with beef and crispy egg rolls. All in all flavors were good and food was fresh. I enjoyed the food, staff was friendly and would eat there again which is why it gets 5 star but I do have some preferences. Outside of egg roll was perfect but inside was slightly mushy. Maybe some longer square shredded ingredients would help firm up the consistency. I enjoy pepper flakes in the sweet and sour sauce. The pad ka pao was good but I prefer it with minced meet instead of sliced and I wish the oyster/fermented fish sauce flavors were much more present. Overall this was pretty sweet but I think the salty umami flavors of the fish sauce would balance the sweetness. The garlic pepper dish was delicious. Again on the sweet side but overall very nicely prepared. Not the largest servings which I actually appreciate because I feel most Thai restaurants in America over portion.

Just had dinner at Thai Square. This is the best Thai food I’ve had in Portland since Bangkok Kitchen stopped trying. The people are gracious, the decor is fun and well considered, and the menu extensive and reasonably priced. For those who worry about spice, just order none or mild or spicy. It’s Thai food. Expect and respect Thai flavors. They also offer take-out.
