Reviews for Ton Kao Thai in Portland, OR
Waited 45min and our one small order was still not ready. After 20 and 30 min, I asked about the order and he said he was... working on it. Had to leave without eating. Poor service. He could have just communicated how long it would be, which would havegiven me time to find something else to eat. Read more
This slice of heaven never misses with their fresh Thai dishes. My personal favorites: Sexy Crab Rolls (the best appetizer of... all time), Pad Thai (best pad thai I?ve had in PDX), Drunken Noodles, Golden Rice, and any curry on the menu ???? so so sodelicious, every time. Read more
I choose to eat twice a week or more because food is consistently good. And that's that!
My husband and I always love Thai food, that's why we gave it a try. We ordered spicy chicken pad thai and kind of disappointed... with the flavor. Food was oily, bland, and not too spicy. Read more
This is my second time coming to Ton Kao Thai. First timed I ordered pad Thai, with tofu and the sexy crab rolls. For dessert, I... got the mango sticky rice. (Best I've ever had) Everything was DELICIOUS! It made me want to come back on my day off to trysomething else off of their menu. Today I got the avocado curry with tofu, and that was not a disappointment at all either. I amdetermined to come back and try every single thing on their menu. So delicious with huge portions, great prices, and friendlystaff. ?? Read more
Love having the cart in the pod. Food is good and fresh. And there are lots of optons.
This is a food cart in the middle of a food cart pod. I was on my way to a Thai restaurant nearby when I decided to try Ton... Kao. I found the place to be "just okay". Here's why... I ordered two dishes: Pad Prik Khing, and Pad Khi Mao. My first issueis minor: there's no brown rice. So I had white rice with my pad prik. The pad prik was fairly good. I order it many otherplaces and am picky. I would eat this one again. It was sufficiently spicy (which I requested.) My biggest issue was with thepad khi mao. (First time I have seen that spelling of the dish, btw.) Its noodles were way to soft. Frankly, the noodles wereover cooked or something. Not good noodles. The taste of the dish was pretty bland as well, and it wasn't nearly as spicy as thepad prik. (I ordered both dishes with the same spice level.) My third issue is with the packaging... plastic. I hate hot foodin plastic. This food was very hot. I don't mind plastic for a cool dish, but for hot food I prefer paper-based packaging orfoil between the food and the dish. Overall this isn't a bad place, but I would consider it average. I wouldn't mind having thepad prik again, but it won't be the first place I go when I have a choice. Read more
I love Thai food and have been trying many Thai restaurants and food carts in PDX. Tried this place twice now, months apart, and... have found the quality consistently excellent. This most recent try was chicken green curry, medium spice. Food was flavorful,spice level was not overwhelming, and the eggplant was perfectly cooked - not too hard, not too soft (this is a challengingfeat, as other places have demonstrated to me). What was particularly impressive is that I snuck in right before closing, anddespite the interruption to their end-of-day work, the food was this exemplary. Only thing to note per the curry: the rice wasin the same container as the curry. I ate right there, but if this dish is travelling, the rice may become soggy. Last go wasPad Ki Mao, which was similarly within excellent tolerances - the noodles were not stuck together or too soft, which otherplaces have disappointed with. Seriously some of the best Thai food Portland has to offer! Read more
