Thai Food Cafe

Stopped in for lunch and had Pad See Ew. Some of the tastiest noodles I've ever had in PDX. Home Thai cooking at its best. This will be on my regular lunch rotation. Edit on Sept 26, 2023: I took my roommate to Moonlight and she ordered a curry and couldn't eat it because it was too sweet. My dish of prawns and veggies was wonderful. Serina, (the chef/waiter/owner?) was devastated and forcibly insisted that she will send my roommate home with some of her soup. Now my roommate is a trained chef that worked at a Michelin starred establishment and makes all her chicken stock from scratch. She got home with Sarina's glass noodle soup and was blown away. I mean she hasn't stopped talking about the flavor and the balance for two days now. So I had left my debit card at Moonlight and had to swing by today and pick it up. I let Serina know how impressed my roommate was and how we both were very impressed on how she defended her cooking. Needless to say, this is now our place to go for Thai. Sarina was unwilling to let someone leave her establishment unsatisfied. She explained why her curry was that way (American pallet and a to go delivery culture.) We suspect that this is a one woman operation and mostly geared to take out. To dine in she moves a table in front so you can access the seating area. If you do dine in, she is very attentive and personable. Anyway, go there and let Sarina know what you want. She will serve you something to make you happy or wrestle to the ground until she can find something that will.

Loved this place. It was quite empty and Serena the owner was on point with service, friendliness and the food was delicious. We had the chicken satay, the spring rolls. Pad Kee Mow (beef) and the Tom yum noodle. Which I ordered as a 2 and it was toooo spicy. Serena took it back and fixed it up smiling the entire time. Refreshing. Definitely will visit again. #hiddengemportland #thaiportland

Stopped in to get a Thai Iced Tea, as I didn't have enough time to order food. I am vegan, so I asked them to switch to coconut milk for me, and it came served in the cute little cup hanger. It is DELICIOUS. Thanks for the cool treat on a hot afternoon. Will definitely be back to try the food very soon!

My son & I live close & have been meaning to check this place out for over two years now, finally the stars aligned & we had the right moods, time & budget to eat here. My seven year old was so excited about their mock meat options & I’ve never seen him enjoy a meal at a restaurant more than tonight’s dinner there. Was very easy to order & make sure everything was vegan, that’s worth five stars alone right there. We got pad Thai with the soy chicken, sweet & sour with the soy shrimp & green curry with soy chicken. I really liked everything, & I really loved that my son did too. We ate our fill & took home enough for us both to make another meal out of our order too. I’m writing this review because my son wanted to be sure everyone knew how good the place is. We will definitely be making up for lost time & visiting more frequently now.

I really am angry to see any less than 4/5 star reviews for this place. The people who work here are kind, extremely hard working, and the essence of community. I am so lucky to live in this neighborhood because I've gotten to know the staff and let their food nourish me whenever I need it. This is real small business; delicious food, humble people, perfectly imperfect.

I don't know the last time I experienced such warm service and hospitality. The salad rolls were fresh, the wontons were crispy, and the red curry was the perfect amount of spicy and sweet. They were having the interior painted and they still welcomed us in, and even gave us a mango sticky rice (my favorite dessert)! The food was great, but the service is what will bring me back!
