This is my new favorite thai restaurant in town! Seriously good food! There summer salad with shrimp and tempura asparagus is to die for! Very big salad, enough to share. The red pineapple curry is also delicious, very flavorful. What impressed me about this place is that everything is very flavorful and done well. Plus they have some super unique items on the menu. I'll definitely be back.

Without a doubt this is one of the best Thai restaurants in the Beaverton area, maybe the best. It's a little on the pricey side as its easy to drop thirty plus dollars for lunch but the food is top notch. Plus, it's one of the few Thai restaurants that will actually spice up you food when you ask for it to be made spicy. I always get the beef salad made spicy with a side of rice to soak up the extra dressing and I've never been disappointed. My main complaint is their lack of brown rice. Nice setting, good food and attentive service make this a great place for a romantic dinner or business lunch.

We came here on Sunday because my sister said that they have a killer happy hour that runs all day on Sundays. We were going to wait to go here for a special occasion but the happy hour deals were too enticing to hold off on. The happy hour menu had a lot of choices, but I wish it had even more entree choices. I started pointing at all the things and the waiter commented on how hungry I was. I was hungry indeed, but more curious than hungry. I would definitely get the calamari and the drunken noodles again. Everybody should check in here on yelp because you get a free coconut ice cream. The ice cream was phenomenal and homemade. It also has a bunch of coconut chunks in it. I also should include that the happy hour food portions appear to be smaller than their non happy hour counterparts. My sister and I felt like cheapskates for ordering off the uber affordable HH menu and also taking advantage of the free ice cream yelp deal. However I know I will make it up by coming back plenty and plenty of times.

THEY DELIVER! Just used their delivery service for the first time. Hadn't even heard of the place before. Just needed food after a day of moving. Staff on the phone was polite, efficient and professional. I ordered 6 different main dishes from Pad Thai and Pas Se Ew to the String Beans and Panang Curry. All of it was very, very good. Nothing was forgotten (always a risk with delivery). They quoted a 45 minute delivery time and it took just about 35 minutes. Great food. Great service. I'll be back...

I love their green curry and pad thai, it made the fiance a fan of Thai cuisine, he now requests it on a regular basis. The duck curry is FANTASIC! The chicken satay was a little on the dry side, though.

Great food and great service. Gotta try the happy hour dishes like pad thai, fried rice, chicken skewers, and calamari. All range in price from 2.99, 3.99, & 5.99 with a few other options in between. Portions are enough for two people. We spent just about $30 and took food home (price included drinks). The atmosphere was above average and the servers were very nice and were very forthright when describing the portion amounts and didn't try an make you buy more than you should - pet peeve of mine. All and all, I would highly recommend.

Best pumpkin curry ever tasted! Such a selection of authentic thai cuisine and the a huge variety of happy hour menu. All the staff is so nice and friendly...I always feel like family when I come here!

This place is GREAT! Sunday all day happy hour pricing is amazing. But if you try it Sunday, you'll want to come back twice before Sunday rolls around again. So good. I love their pad thai. See their lovely restaurant in this short video. vimeo.com/74071064

The start of my review. The place is hopping! My friend and I were seated within about ten minutes. We ordered, received out Thai iced tea right away. However, we waited an hour for our pad Thai. After about forty minutes we asked the gentleman who seated us about our food. He graciously told us we were second in line. After he helped us our waiter finally came to check on us, numerous times. The food itself came out hot and was good, but the service was lacking. I'll probably come back, but on another night and I won't sit in the bar. Update, after we asked about our food, the service improved. Additionally we were given complementary ice cream. It won't change my review entirely, but it was a nice gesture.

I was tasked by my employer to find an acceptable restaurant to host a post-ribbon cutting dinner for ~ 20 people. My initial finds were pretty discouraging: required financial commitments in the form of deposits, RSVP minimum head count, limited menu options, etc. Working in the business end of things, I completely understand a restaurants' demand to be reassured that a reservation will be worth the trouble but, truthfully, I knew I couldn't commit to much on the behalves of my co-workers and executive-level bosses for all sorts of reasons. Thai Bloom's accommodation was the breath of fresh air I needed. Sam answered my call - extremely helpful - gathered necessary info and made scheduling and ordering recommendations according to the size of the party. No marriage necessary. The experience of the restaurant itself was fantastic: Good-humored, unintrusive service - INCREDIBLE food - and lovely ambiance. My boss sung my praises for leading everyone to such a gem. So, I'm left to sing it's praises. I'll be back!!

The service here is terrible. I have sat for 20 minutes before getting any service and waited a good hour before anything arrived. The worst part is that it is a Tuesday night, where the restaurant is not even crowded. Definitely will NOT be coming here again.

Okay food okay drinks okay prices. Poor service they were busy over staffed and still slow. The poor bartender was running everything the manager/ owner cut off happy hour cuz they were too busy. Thats a no no. The poor staff was frustrated and unorganized. I would try back maybe one more time to give them another chance.

This is one of the best Thai places in town! Cashew and Ginger dishes are recommended. Thai ice tea here is delicious. Very friendly staff. Waits can be longer during lunch hour 12-1. Nothing special about the happy hour menu. If you are in Beaverton and want great food, this is a must go place.

Worst Thai food I've ever had. Had the pad Thai and it tasted like the smell of dog food, literally. My wife gagged on the food when she took one bite to try it. It had the strangest flavor and did not taste like a traditional pad Thai. I had chicken in it and it was dry and had no flavor - tasted like poultry without any seasoning. Also, the noodles were very dry. My wife had some sort of rice dish with pineapple and chicken. The rice was very dry as well as the chicken, which also had no flavor/seasoning. I will never go back.

Tried for the first time and chose two items off menu to go -- food is EXCELLENT---worth the price However, service is lacking--they have a strange system for to go items that sit near the door on a table so you can be waiting ten minutes or more while your order is sitting there and you are waiting for someone to check if it's yours and give it to you- so finally, I looked at all the bags and found my name on one and took it and left--there were three employees (one that looked like owner or manager but no one paid attention to the food sitting there. They definitely weren't very busy and the person at the front was talking for probably more than the time we were waiting to some friends in whatever language she was speaking (not English) while we sat and looked at our food sitting there (finally figured it out it was ours)--the four stars is for food only---will have to go back and sit down and see how that system works--the Asian lady at the front seems a bit rude though

The best Thai food in the Portland area...period! We tried most of the items on the menu and they're all good. Our favorites are the Salad Rolls, Chicken Satay, Chicken Pad Thai, Cashew Chicken, Ginger Chicken and Drunken Noodles. Service is top notch and Sam (head server) makes you feel like you're at home. Now they've opened up a Thai Bloom on NW 23rd so I can get my Thai fix downtown!

Vegan options! They not only break down their menu with vegan items, but they also have a symbol for items that can be made vegan. It's very much appreciated :) Yellow Curry -- Delicious Tom Kha -- Best I've had Spring Rolls -- Tasty Pad Thai -- Also tasty Happy hour all day Sunday really can't be beat.

Good food and generous portions, especially Happy Hour. However, the service is poor, and this is a consistent problem. I've been many times (HH an lunch) and service is consistently a struggle.

Elle P. S.
It's so nice to have a Thai place that's reasonably close to home. The owners are very nice and the food is pretty good. I've had a couple of dishes that were not good but that's kind of common it seems. The service is very polite and prompt and they deliver! We've been here a number of times, ordered delivery and it is always good (except a few dishes and with missing vegetables like bok choy, which I love). The prices are high, but this also seems common for Thai food here. Anyway, it's a good Thai restaurant with kind owners and good service and I'm really happy they are here, which is why I am a repeat customer.

Dave R.
OK call me selfish... We have been going here since the second day they opened back last September and I have not said a thing to anyone except for a comment I did on a check-in that said "Typhoon is reborn". In the beginning it was easy to get in order our great Drunken Noodles and we did not have to worry about getting a table. Now the word is out and we find many times it is so busy we may have to wait a bit. When Typhoon went down the wife and I started looking around and trying other Thai places and tho we had some that were good they just did not match up to what we had grown to like. Thai Bloom lives up to it. The food is great, the service is great and the happy hour is great. Our regular server Walter knows what we want, how hot we want it and checks to make sure it comes out to our satisfaction. So I'm letting it out after six months of being quite and enjoying it. You want great Thai? Thai Bloom.

One of the better if not best Thai places on the west side. Service is great. Happy hour all day Sunday and after work are great. One of the call outs is their spicy ratings. I found their medium spice to be a little on the mild side. But extra spicy is just insanely hot and will give you stomach aches. Try regular "hot" if you are a fan of spicy but not death defying. Their menus are slightly different for lunch and dinner. Both includes icons to label food that is gluten free, vegan, and can be made vegan. They are a little bit pricier than most other Thai places in Beaverton by a couple dollars but the money is well worth the experience.
(5)
Hope W.
Thai Bloom is one of our favorite places. The food and waitstaff are fanastic. Awesome happy hour, although most of the drink specials are a bit on the sweet side for me. But you can't beat the happy hour food prices, So far, I have not had a meal there I haven't thought was super yummy. You have to try this place out!
(5)
Heather H.
If you, like me, stopped supporting Typhoon when the owners were exposed as tax-evading, embezzeling a-holes to their employees, and if you, like me, missed the Crispy Basil Chicken with much, much miss, hie thee to Thai Bloom immediately. Seriously. Hie. Now.

Brandi F.
My bf and I visited Thai Bloom on a Sunday at 2 pm for happy hour in the lounge. Prices and portions were just right. The pad thai was spectacular. It was sweet, but fried up nicely, street-style like I prefer. The drunken noodles looked like the old Typhoon kind, but they lacked the flavor I was looking for. I hope it was just an off day. I will give the dish another try. I'm not giving up on it. Don't miss the homemade coconut ice cream. What a treat. I didn't like the chopped nuts on top, but I was able to eat around them. No biggie. The service was a bit slow for happy hour. I expected the kitchen staff to hustle a bit more to get the small plates out for happy hour revelers. No deal. Happy hour in the lounge was like a long lunch that day. The bartender was nice, and refilled my soda. But when it came time to get the check, he was deeply entrenched in conversation with a patron at one of the tables. It took an additional 10 minutes to flag down another server so we could pay and leave. This won't stop me from coming back, but I will take the experience into consideration when I am operating under time constraints.

I cant say enough good things about this place, so here is a really short review: "stop browsing, drop everything you are doing and head over to THAI BLOOM NOW!" Ok, seriously now, I have been here 5 times in 3 days since I found this place. My favorite dishes are the Pineapple Curry, and the seasonal Crab Pad Thai made with lump dungennes crab. The portions are generous, the food is of the most impressive quality and the service is great. Good parking, comfortable location with separate bars and dinning rooms. The perfect dinning experience, at a very reasonable price point. HIGHLY recommended.

Crab pad thai, yes, please! It was one of those dishes that is tough to share with your own child. Make that both the crab pad thai and the coconut ice cream. De-lish!

This place made me extremely sick. Food poising due to their soup. When I called in to let them know they acted like I was trying to pull a fast one. I WILL NEVER EAT HERE AGAIN. Plenty of other Thai places that are way better than this. Thai Asparsa is one of them.

Stopped by for the Sunday all day Happy Hour. Oh my! YUM! Had the spicy Tom Yum Soup $1.95 cup Tempura Veggie and Shrimp) $3.95 --hello Waitress was well informed and friendly. From and earlier review I'd read something about fried pork belly, so I mentioned it. Its not on the menu yet, but soon will be.. The owner much to my delight made himself mixed veggies and deep fried pork belly and came over and offered me a bite before he had any himself. OMG, if you're bacon lover, and like Bacon fat, just imagine getting that crispy juicy goodness in your mouth only deep fried..lol I noticed they had GREAT Happy Hour cocktail and beer prices as well. My overall experience was great, I would have had more to eat, but the portion of my tempura was pretty good sized. I'll be back!

Haley M.
This has become our regular Thai place. I was a little thrown off initially by the ultra-modern decor, but this is truly a family run restaurant. Delicious food and happy hour prices/portions are the best! My favorite happy hour dishes are the beef salad, chicken potstickers, & drunken noodles.

The food is good. However, there are some really mean pissed off servers that work there. One time we ended up not going because my husband recalled the time that a server was so rude to us. They had brought out the wrong food items- the person put it on the table and turned around and left. We realized it wasn't what we had ordered. I went and tracked down our server who then insisted that that is what we had ordered. It was a pretty awkward situation. A situation that probably would have been avoided had the server written down our order instead of doing it by memory. I am also pretty sure they do not have enough staff to compensate for the volume they get during happy hour. The wait time for the food is ludicrous. For some reason I keep going back. I guess the food is really that good....

Jennifer C.
Some of the best Thai we've had in Portland out of the dozen or so that we've tried. The homemade coconut ice cream was awesome. Hubs had the drunken noodle and I had the Chicken Wide noodle over romaine. Adding the romaine made it less Thai-like, but I liked having the extra greens. Otherwise the dish was completely authentic. Service is excellent. Each person working there was a 12 out of 10 on the friendly and effective service scale.

Loved it. Drunken noodles, fried rice and yellow curry - all excellent. Food presentation is also good. Staff was great. The veggie spring rolls lacked some taste though. Tables are small. So for 4 people it really becomes cramped.

Great food. Happy Hour all day on Sunday- we are trying to work our way through the menu, but can't resist ordering the chicken wings every visit! Lunch is a bit on the spendy side, but food is excellent. Lots of vegan and gluten free options make it a great place for different dietary needs. Service can sometimes be a little slow, not sure they have enough servers, but the food makes up for it!

Kelsey W.
Been looking for a thai restaurant in Beaverton that's worth a good review and i finally found one! man oh man was this place freakin' tasty!!! Started the meal with a small bowl of Tom Yum soup...which was a bit on the spicy side but i love spicy food so it was delicious! the chicken in the soup was perfect also! I also got the beef pad see ew, and it was ahhhhhh-mazing! The beef was cooked perfectly with fresh veggies in it, and the noodles were cooked to perfection as well, you really can't go wrong with chewy egg noodles. NOM NOM NOM As I was waiting for my food, I was looking at all of the dishes going to other tables and everything looked delicious. I DEFINITELY want to come back for their happy hour! They have a lot of gluten-free and vegan options on the menu, and it's clearly indicated on the menu as well, which I was impressed with. The only reason why I am not giving this 5 stars is because the service needs a little bit of improvement. Our server came right to our table when we sat down and asked if we needed more time, we said yes (since we had just sat down) and then didn't see him for another 10 minutes....only after he took orders from 3 surrounding tables that were sat after us he came back to take our order. This is a fairly new Thai restaurant so I bet they're still working out the kinks. But other than that this place was fantastic! Definitely will be returning.

Jean R.
Ordered carry out, crab pad thai, garlic pork, seafood cream cheese wontons. I've definitely had better and bigger portions elsewhere. The pork was a bit dry and tough, the seafood wontons tasted like imitation seafood salad. The pad thai was good although I couldn't really taste the crab.

Good pad thai, but LONGEST service of my life! Even our server said it was normally said the kitchen was slow. (Not just an "off" night). 2 hrs. and 20 min. for just our dinner. Super awkward.......

Wow, can't wait to go back to try more menu items. We had: spicy wings and hoi joh(seafood puffs) for appetizers and BAM! we're off to an amazing start. Then we had: green curry w/ chicken, drunken noodles, and 2 pad thais one with chicken and the other with beef. All were outstanding. My favorite was the green curry.
(5)
Paige V.
We tried a little bit of everything! Came during happy hour, but ordered off both menus. Service was attentive and friendly. We got the fried pumpkin, fried tofu, pot stickers, tom kah soup, drunken noodles, and the halibut---all were so incredible, so fresh and full of flavor. I haven't had really great thai in a long time, and we were all blown away----a very special gem in Beaverton. The hype they are receiving on Yelp alone is warranted---it certainly surpassed our expectations. And everyone is right, the house-made coconut ice cream is seriously a must try! We splurged, but so glad we did.
(5)
Tony C.
The food was amazing. The service was good. Getting dinner was a bit slow but we had time so it was no big deal. The place was really noisey but that is because they were busy and the tables are all open so there are no booths to dampen the noise. If you like Thai you will like this place. We had the Orange chicken and Cashew chicken. Both dishes were very good.

Cedina A.
Just moved to the area a few months ago. I always went to Thai Noodle Etc in thr mall across the street from Thai Bloom. Finally decided to go here for the first time tonight. The ambiance was great & it was a full house - a good sign for a first timer. We were helped by Nam (lady waitress). She was so friendly and helpful! She recommended the crab wontons, which were so tasty! I ordered the thai iced tea and my boyfriend and I ordered the yellow curry & crab fried rice. Needless to say, it was all so delicious! And the best part --- warm towels after your meal! Such a great experience, will definitely be coming back! The only reason why this review got 4 stars instead of 5: the wait for the food. Longer than most places, but that's what happens with a full house....but DEFINITELY worth the wait!

Daniel A.
We ended up at this place after reading great reviews on Yelp and it did not disappoint. I ordered a noodle soup which was among the tastiest I have had and my wife had the pad Thai which was even more delicious. All of this at very reasonable prices. Would definitely recommend this to everyone who enjoyes Thai food
(5)
Brianne S.
Best Thai restaurant I've been to, hands down. Great service, delicious food, fabulous happy hour menu with good portions and options, not too expensive. We were there for more than 3 hours just chatting and having a good time and not once did I feel like we were being hurried or rushed out the door, which is a BIG BIG BIG plus for me. They put your food in a little to-go bag for you when you're done and also give you warm, delicious smelling rags to wipe your hands after your meal. CLEAN. Fabulous place. Definitely going back.

My family tried this place for lunch. It was very nice. All dishes were delicious. The service was excellent. All ingredients used were fresh. It was bit pricey, but was worth it. On weekends, there is no lunch menu. It's spacious, so good for family gatherings, etc.

Kory M.
AWESOME HAPPY HOUR!!!! The drunken noodles are amazing here! I have only eaten here during happy hour; that is the only reason I give Thai Bloom 4 stars. I have had better service, but the amazingly cheap and delicious food and drinks makes up for it. Expect to wait if you go for happy hour, but well worth it.

Hollie L.
My boyfriend and I visited after buying a vehicle across the street. Reviews were excellent, so we decided to go for it. I ordered chicken pad Thai. My boyfriend ordered the swimming rama. The chicken pad Thai was delicious. Huge serving. One of the best pad Thai entrees I've had. The swimming rama was also quite delicious. The peanut sauce is to die for. We loved each other's dishes so much that we just ended up splitting our meals for one another. Yelp offered a free handmade coconut ice cream that had chocolate syrup and almonds on top. It was the best coconut ice cream I've had. My boyfriend said it tasted freezer burnt, where you get those little flakes of ice, but I personally LOVE my ice cream with that particular texture. It may have been that way because it was handmade. We would definitely go back again because the food was great and the service was outstanding.

We saw a positive article written by Gerry Frank in The Oregonian newspaper recently and decided to give this place a try last night. We went to the Happy Hour at 4 pm. It was not busy when we first arrived but, by the time we left, it was crowded. We told Sam - a very friendly chap - that it was our 1st visit. He was friendly and we took our time ordering. Everything on the Happy Hour menu was reasonably priced and delicious. By the way, the wine was only $2.99 a glass! Our favorite items were the Spicy Wings, Pad Thai with Chicken, and Drunken Noodles. Next time, we'll skip the deep fried Veggie Spring Rolls (too greasy for us) and get the Salad Rolls instead. Sam was very friendly and - even as the restaurant became busier - he kept stopping by to see if we wanted to sample more menu items. We appreciated not being rushed. The food will bring us back again - the service, too. By the way, their Happy Hour is ALL DAY on Sunday.

I was in Oregon for a few days for a business trip. The restaurant decor was pretty nice and they divide the restaurant into normal dining area and bar area. The happy hour menu are only served in the bar area, so keep that in mind. I ordered Larb chicken and fried rice from the happy hour menu. Unfortunately, I was here by myself so I can't order more stuff. Portion are a little bit on the small size, but considering the pricing, it's definitely more than reasonable. It's also great cause then you can order and try various other stuff. Service is a bit slow since the place is huge and they only have one server and one guy who I assume is the owner. However, both are really attentive and I would definitely recommend to try this place out.

Jeff R.
Recently moved to the area and thought we would try Thai Bloom, based on Yelp reviews. We were not disappointed! Very warm and inviting. Classy decor and very clean. Definately not your run-of-the-mill thai restaurant. Think more...fine dining style yet still casual. Very nice bar and seating area up front which flows into the dining area nicely and has a well placed flat screen to watch the game. Service was prompt and professional. Since this was our first visit we started with the App Sampler that included a spring roll, pot stickers, Hoi Joh and Satay. All were delicious. My wife tried the Crab Pad Thai and I ordered the seasonal Seafood Red Curry dish. Again, all had great tasted and were cooked to perfection. The only thing really keeping me from giving 5 stars was the price. I felt the prices were just a tad to high in comparision with other Thai restaurants that I've enjoyed. But then again, I suppose the nice location, upscale decor and "fine dining feel" to the place will command a higher price. All in all, we enjoyed it and look forward to returning to try some other offerings.

This is one of my favorite places to eat for Thai food!! The staff is friendly and attentive, but the food is the star here!! They have a wonderful variety - lots of vegetarian choices as well as a vast menu!! The amount of food you get is generous and its very reasonably priced!! The spices at Thai Bloom are oh-so-very yummy!! Everything I have had so far has been so flavorful and delicious!! Definitely my go-to place for awesome Thai food!!

Attention my fellow gluten intolerant and Celiac Disease people! This Thai restaurant has so many gluten free options! Not just gluten free, your dish can be gluten free AND vegan, or be modified to be gluten free and/or vegan! I had the green curry (my personal favorite) and it was amazing! Possibly the best green curry I've ever had! Plus if you check in here on Yelp, you get a free, hand scooped coconut ice cream! Delicious! 10/10 would recommend!

This has got to be one of the best happy hours in Beaverton or Portland. The food is amazing, at super reduced prices, and pretty large portions. I've tried the wings, larb, calamari, drunken noodles, pad thai, basil chicken and dancing shrimp. They've all been amazing, with the only exception being the dancing shrimp. There's a lot of raw garlic in this dish and it overpowers everything. My favorites are the calamari (which is served with a delicious spicy sweet and sour sauce) and the beef salad.

okay...... after a day of power shopping with a friend we were tired, hungry and in much need of caffeine. We got seated and ordered. First we got our Thai Iced Tea.... oh that glorious mixture of caffeine, cream and crack. Next we ordered the crab puffs..... wonderful golden crispy wonton filled with cream cheese and crab served with a dipping sauce of the gods. My friend and I ordered the Cashew chicken and the Pad Thai noodles. We shared........ barely...... we may have joked about fighting to the death for the Cashew chicken.... She was not a fan of the Pad Thai....but I was..... the meal hit the spot and we even ended it with another round of the iced tea..... I am looking forward to my next experience there...... and next time we shall order more cashew chicken as to not have to re-enact the scene from Thunderdome.

Looks completely different from the old set up of Thai Derm. How I'll miss that inaccurate cultural seating replica circa 1985..... Obviously this is the reincarnation of Typhoon!. Doesn't anyone else remember the big controversy a few months ago with typhoon? That made it hard for me to really get into this place, even though the food was pretty good.

I ordered take out just before lunch ended at 2:30pm....I selected one of the winter specials pumpkin curry with chicken, which came with white rice, and a side order of steamed seasonal vegetables. It was ready by the time I arrived, the ladies that assisted me were extremely friendly. What a great deal....just over $14! The pumpkin curry was very good, chunks of pumpkin, cauliflower, broccoli, sliced carrots and green beans in a red curry sauce. It had a "two pepper" rating but it truly had just a hint of spiciness. I love a curry with heat so if I get back to Bend I will ask for it to be "four pepper" hot! The rice was cooked perfectly, sticky enough to eat with chopsticks but not gummy. I poured some of the curry onto the side of vegetables and ate that for lunch, saving the remaining curry and rice for dinner. Have I mentioned that it was a great deal? Insiders tip: if you go in the door facing the street you are entering the bar not the restaurant. The chefs are Buddists, the front door should never face west, so the main entry is to the left.

We tried the Happy Hour menu. The orange ribs and Pad Thai were good, but didn't like the Chicken Larb Salad, it was too salty. The coconut ice cream was good too.

Anasooya G.
Loved the Sunday happy hour....orange pork rib was too good...chicken pot stickers were really crispy with tasty stuffing...coconut icecream that came as a complementary as we checked in yelp...was a nice break from usual ice creams we have every time. Service was extremely friendly and attentive. We will definitely come back to taste the other items.

My daughter and I went here on a whim during one of our girlie shopping days and it was a wonderful surprise. We both are Thai food fans and have been to a number of places, however Thai Bloom had a wide variety of unique dishes that I had never heard of. My daughter got her usual panang curry, which was great and I ordered this curry noodle soup that I had never heard of before. I ordered mine "hot", which came out the farthest from hot I had ever gotten in a Thai restaurant. I noticed that all the other tables had a condiment tray brought to them with chili sauces and such but this was never offered to us, which was disappointing, but the dish overall was very tasty. My daughter and I both agreed that our server was probably one of the best we've ever had - very knowledgeable and sincere (I'll give her a pass on the condiments). HH looked crazy busy so I may need to come pack and check it out - the prices were definitely right on the HH menu.

Yummy I'm so grateful for Yelp and all your subscribers reviews! Being in a strange town and wanting Thai food, I was so happy to find Thai Bloom. Everything written (positive) is true. The coconut ice cream, waitress and all the food in general. Oh, the waitress...AWESOME. She was wonderful, helpful and made us feel like we knew what we were doing. I would recommend the daily specials and everything! Ok, I'm going to stop. If I say anything more you might think they paid me for a review (they did NOT).

Intimate little Thai restaurant with excellent service and vegan options. They have happy hour but we unfortunately missed out on it. There is a bar area as well as the regular dining room. We ordered a cup of vegan tom ka, vegan pad thai, and vegan yellow curry. Though vegetarian, I really appreciated the vegan option. The presentation of the dishes are beautiful. My favorite item was the soup. It was rich, creamy, and flavorful with its fresh vegetables and tofu. The pad thai was about average and curry was pretty good. We finished the meal with coconut ice cream which wasn't too sweet and tasted very fresh with bits of coconut throughout. We left full and satisfied, however if we ever come back, we'd make sure we hit up their happy hour.

Best Thai place ever. The taste and presentation of food was on point. Waiters and servers were so friendly. The food was plentiful and well worth the price. To top it off they provide you with warm towels to wipe your hands. Amazing experience!

I pointed this restaurant out to my mom as we drove past the other day in order to recommend it. She read the sign as "Thai Blood" which was of course a turn off to her. I highly suggest giving this restaurant a try. I was pleasantly surprised considering the exterior and the location. It is well decorated and perfectly clean. The staff was welcoming and attentive. The food was delicious (I had one of the vegetarian curries). If you're going to be eating out in Beaverton, I highly recommend this place.

This is my favorite thai place near my apartment, one of the best Thai restaurants in Beaverton area. I tried couple of dishes and loved all of them. The ambiance is cozy. Every meal should always end with their delicious house-made coconut ice cream.

I'm so, so glad we found Thai Bloom! My husband and I were longtime patrons of Typhoon, and we were left with a gap in our lives when they closed down. We hadn't found any other Thai restaurant in the Portland metro area with the caliber and variety of dishes of Typhoon... until Thai Bloom. (Not surprising, since several of the same chefs and staff work there.) Some of our favorite dishes are the miang kum, fisherman's rice, and beef with peppercorns. But really, you can't go wrong with anything you order here. My only caution would be that if you order takeout, be prepared for a long wait - they always tell us 20 minutes, but we typically end up waiting 40-60 minutes. That won't stop us from coming back though!

We stopped for lunch, and we were not disappointed. The restaurant was like a little trip to Thailand. I had a very good drunken noodles with chicken, and my wife had the pineapple curry. Both dishes were well-spiced and very tasty. The portions were fairly sized, and the service was friendly. It was all very good. I will return here, I am sure. The lunch for the two of us ran under $20.

My "go-to" Thai food restaurant! Great, friendly staff, and delicious food. Love the Pad Thai & the Basil Chicken. I've always gone on a Wednesday or Thursday night, and the place is never packed to the point where there is a wait, but there seems to be plenty of other happy diners in there to make the place lively. Prices are reasonable.

This update is in reference to several recent happy hour meals. Happy hour makes this place very budget savvy (which was one of my only complaints). The food portion is smaller, and dishes are limited, but for $5 I felt like I was getting a good deal! Drinks were decently priced, too. A friend and I already have plans to go to happy hour again within the week!

Poor service, good food, but double check your bill! They over charged me twice! The first time they did, I asked them about it and they said "oh it's a summer special." How was it a summer special when I'd always ordered the dish every time I came and it's not like they gave me a bigger portion?! It's only $1 so I just said (to myself) whatever. The second time, my dish was $7.99 and they charged me $9.99. I asked them and they said "that's what the machine said" huh?? I said "no, it's $7.99 on the menu." Then they said "oh it's because you ordered pork. Chicken and tofu are $7.99, and Pork, shrimp and beef are $9.99." I said again "no, it's $7.99. It says on the menu!" Finally they corrected it. I'll never go back again. Too bad because I used to love this place.

I have been battling the "gluten free" issues for years. I tend to only eat out when my husband and I are traveling because the menus and staff are difficult to work with regarding "gluten free" issues. The menu was very clean, easy to read, and easy to understand. The restaurant was clean, friendly and had a wonderful atmosphere. The service was outstanding (we ate in the bar). I will definitely share my experience with others!!
(5)
Michael K.
The food was good and the price was affordable. They have a good happy hour selection and the portions are huge for the price!! However, the service was questionable. I felt that we could have gotten better service. We constantly had to get up and ask for more things. On top of that, they took my sister's and her daughters plate full of rice without asking when they were clearing a portion of the table off.

This is one of the best Thai restaurants we have visited in a few years. It's casual dining in a spacious restaurant. Friendly people. Food is excellent! All the items we ordered were great. But Kao Soi is arguably the best dish. Coconut ice cream is superb. Papaya salad is great. We will go there again and highly recommend the place.

Was in the area and came here with my family and sister's family. Nice and clean place! We came at an off hour so it wasn't busy at all. It worked out to our advantage because our 10 month old has become very vocal lately. :) Anyway, on to the food. We ordered Drunken noodles with tofu, Panang Curry with prawns (came with plenty!!), crab fried rice and Thai Yen Ta Fo noodles. Everything was delicious except for the Yen Ta Fo. That left a horrible flavor in our mouths and it was also the last thing we ate. It came with very wide noodles and the soup is purplish pink. This soup dish is much better at Chiang Mai.

Thai Bloom has a great happy hour. Especially their Tom Kha Soup. The waitresses are friendly. Also, I am allergic to shellfish and they have always been happy to double check ingredients in the dishes.

There are no other experiences that I have had that are worse than at Thai Bloom. I had been there before and was really excited to finally get to go with my family. It's spendy compared to other Thai joints but their Vegan options made it an ideal choice for everyone coming. We were dismissed by our waitress and after twenty minutes the bartender finally came over and took our orders. As we waited it would be thirty minutes before we received our COLD food, meanwhile other groups who had come well after us delighted in their plates. Fed up abd ready to go, we couldn't buy the time of day from the server to get our check. Rest assured, this has been the last time I will ever spend my time at this restaurant.

Best Thai I've ever had! Fresh ingredients!!! Miang kum included a huge portion of spinach and condiments. Tom kha gai was sweet and aromatic. Appetizer combo was generous and the chicken satay was succulent. Top the meal off with the most heavenly coconut ice cream with chunks of tender fresh coconut accompanied by sweet sticky rice....if I die now...know I was content!!!!

I have tried more Pad Thai in Portland that I can tell you about. It seems every time I order it, it's too sweet and is orange in color with too much sauce. Being from the East Coast, I just assumed that was the way it's served here in the West. Then I had the Crab Pad Thai at Thai Bloom and was so happy to find my perfect Pad Thai. It was not orange, not too sweet, and had a generous amount of crab. My husband had the Panang Curry and it was delicious also. It had a kick but was not too spicy. I was with a large group and everyone was happy with their dinner. We came in 45 mins before closing and they were gracious enough to accommodate us even though our meal extended past closing time. I will definitely be back!

This was my first experience eating Thai food. It was happy hour and I was able to sample 4 different items that were featured on the main menu. This gave me the opportunity to sample before I would order a bigger portion. Loved the Tom Yum soup. I added chicken. Nice and spicy. I also ordered hoi jon, beef salad, and larb salad. The salads were so good! A variety of flavors with each bite. My husband had red curry with prawns and jasmine rice. Staff was very helpful with choices and attentiveness. We will be back to try out more items on the menu! Also their web site is very informative with pictures!

We have been here many times all for happy hour (several times with our kids age ranging 4-16). Our favorites are spicy basil chicken, calamari, chicken wings, fried spring rolls, fried rice, Tom yom soup with prawns, the pad thai was mediocre.... Each dish under $5 or $6 or so. My daughter says the homemade coconut ice cream was yummy (that's impressive from a girl who doesn't prefer coconut). I enjoyed the Thai tea also. Service is consistently great!!!

This place use to be call Thai Derm and the food was excellent but the place badly needed a make over. which is what thai bloom did. It looks great in here but sadly the food is terrible..and I even tried it twice! I call to ask if they use MSG in their food and te guy I spoke to wasn't sure because he can't read the ;ingredients on the labels. They do use MSG because my girl friend is allergic to it and got sick after eating it. If they can't read the ;label on the ingredients I'm wondering where they get their ingredients from? Bottom line is that this place looks beautiful when you walk inside but the food is trash. They are just counting on a few ascetic changes to fool people into thinking it's a quality restaurant. Don't be fooled.

Yum! Went here for happy hour. Beer was ice cold so that alone makes me love the place. The atmosphere is a bit fast foodish but the food was delicious. My husband had the beef salad and spicy chicken with basil - he raved about both. I had the salad rolls - shrimp ( not on HH menu but only $5.99) They were very good but mostly just rice noodles. Found out the chefs are from Typhoon which explains the rave reviews. We will definitely go back for dinner at some point.

What a wonderful place to gather and eat. The food is wonderful. The menu is easily marked Gluten Free by item. The beverages solid. The service excellent. Did I say the food was wonderful? We went there (sans child) for an adult bite to eat. Had such a great time, we brought some other family next time. Then, to even it out, I got to go with a girlfriend to have happy hour. Each time I am not disappointed. I will be back again. And again.

Can't believe I haven't heard of this place before. Thank goodness for yelp when we searched for Thai in our neighbor we found this place.

I have been here three times now. The food is excellent. Tonight had Tom kha gai soup, calamari, chicken with basil, and beef salad. All the dishes were well spiced, very flavorful.

Food was alright, nothing too crazy. If you have ever been to Eugene or went to UO, it's an upgrade from Tasty Thai. Service was super slow. We sat at the bar so maybe it might be better if we sat a table. The bartender wasn't too attentive to us but the bar back was really nice. There are definitely better Thai places out there.

My favorite place for happy hours in Beaverton and dog friendly too!! The staff treat Butters (my Pembroke corgi) like a special guest whenever I bring him along. The patio has umbrellas to protect us from the sun. And the staff are very attentive and always give us last call for happy hours. The food is spectacular. I love the fact that it's actually spicy for some dishes because I love spicy food. Tum yum soup is my favorite, but my friends love the tum kha soup more. To each their own. There's so many options. You can definitely find something you like here. I highly recommend this place.

Delicious. Visited on Sunday with my wife and 2-year-old. Ordered from the happy hour menu (happy hour all day on sunday). The place was busy, but the food still came within half hour. The crowd was eclectic. Many races and ages. Families, dates, friends. We ordered seaweed salad spicy chicken wings pad thai with chicken papaya salad beef salad a draft beer I've had take-out from thai bloom before a few times and it was okay. But the food today, in house, was delicious. The pad thai noodles were perfectly cooked. The sauce was not sweet. The chicken tasted grilled. My daughter and wife loved the seaweed salad. Not fishy at all. The beef was flavorful. My wife said it was too tough, but I thought it was not. She liked the wings. There was a high-chair for my baby. The entire meal was $25. Felt like a great deal. In the future I will try harder to not sit where my toddler can see the TV in the bar area, but you need to sit in the bar area to order from the happy hour menu.
(5)
Kris K.
Outstanding! The Crab Pad Thai was covered in crab meat and was a nice, fresh variation on the usual, the Ginger Ribs were meaty and flavorful, as were the Chicken Satay Skewers, and the Papaya Salad was beautifully presented and perfectly seasoned. What more could you ask for? Next I'll be back to try the Happy Hour Menu, with its small plates of all of the other things I wanted to try!

The waitress was AWFUL. She was passive aggressive, short and rude. She would correct us when ordering and make snide comments. She treated my friend and I like children who have never eaten out at a restaurant before. She was a poor communicator, it took us five minutes to explain to her we were ready to order, and when I ordered three happy hour items she said "oh but you're already getting these two things"...ummm excuse me I am building your bill. I loved all the food to bad the service SUCKED. And as a server I cringed the entire time talking to her for being such a unbearable waitress. She needs a job outside of customer service because I will not go back because of her.

We love this restaurant. Firstly, we love Thai food, but you know how tricky it can be to find just the RIGHT restaurant that makes food you like. We have several food allergies, too, which make eating at most restaurants pretty much out of the question. (corn, gluten, msg, dairy) But we can eat here! You can let them know what your food allergies are, and their menu even already says which items are specifically gluten-free, which is awesome. The food is fresh, delicious, and the portions are abundant. The staff is completely accommodating and always has friendly smiles. One thing to note: if you have children in your party, because the food is fresh, it DOES take awhile to make. not a big deal if you're adults, because you can wait, but with hungry kiddos, it can be tricky. Just plan accordingly, because the food is worth the wait for the rest of us. Even my impatient 8-year-old thinks so - this is his favourite Thai restaurant, and he is the one who requests we go there most of the times we go.

McKenzie D.
By far the best Thai food in the area. The papaya salad, drunken noodles, Pad Thai, pineapple curry, and cashew chicken are all great dishes. The high quality food here makes it hard to eat Thai from anywhere else. Definitely recommend!!!

Martin F.
Thai food as art - these guys do it well. I like the food, although it wouldn't be on the top 5 Thai places in the area, it is certainly very tasty. The setting is very classy - and the presentation was very well done. I went for my standard Panang Curry - I liked it - I asked for it hot and I felt like it was lacking in heat but still good. My friend tried the Pad See Ew with chicken and really enjoyed it. The service is prompt and friendly, very knowledgeable about their extensive menu. If you're looking for an upscale, classy dining experience with some tasty options, I would recommend this place quickly. For a more casual, less expensive option, you might want to keep looking. It was certainly good enough for me to go back again another time and see if I missed something. The menu is so extensive I feel like I should go away from my standards and give them another chance to wow me. I have a hunch I wouldn't be disappointed.

I don't ever find myself in Beaverton, and that's decidedly on purpose. I don't do well in Suburbia; all the malls and chains look the same to me. But in recent years, Beaverton has yielded some pretty sweet Asian eateries by word of mouth from the Portland foodies. It's not uncommon to hear material such as: "oh, our favorite sushi place is definitely in Hillsboro". Or "the only place we eat Thai is at this place in Beaverton, off of Cedar Hills." When they say that, they're talking about Thai Bloom. I was pleasantly surprised by this place! It's not in a strip mall, and it's what I'd loosely call "upscale Thai dining". It's obvious the owners have put a lot of thought and care into curating the restaurant's every detail. Nice linen napkins, low lighting, and a very inviting dining room that'd be perfect for either a date OR a nice family dinner. There's not very many places that can claim both of those atmospheres! Everything we had was delicious; I can't even pick out the "highlights". Pork and ginger potstickers? Heavy on the ginger and downright delicious. Chicken lettuce cups? NOT dripping with excessive fish sauce (like!), and super crunchy and tasty. A pumpkin curry as a winter seasonal offering? You bet your ass I ordered that. Ill be back to sample their other traditional Thai dishes. I just can't turn down a pumpkin curry. It's one of those things where if it's on the menu, anywhere, ill order it regardless. Thai Bloom, why are you all the way in Beaverton? Sigh. Ill just have to make the trek. This could be my new fave Thai food crush.

Delicious Thai food!!! We found this place on yelp and the reviews did not disappoint. I have celiac disease and have to eat gluten free...there are a TON of gluten free options here! Everything is clearly marked on the regular menu. I've never gotten sick after eating here. Must try if you love Thai food!

My review is purely based on the happy hour - One word = Amazing. ESPECIALLY for Sunday when it was ALL-DAY-LONG. OH YEAH! Menu includes an array of food ranging between $2-6 and drinks between $3-5. The food was delicious and they don't skimp on sizes. We ordered: - Chicken pad thai - Pork drunken noodles - Tom kha soup - Beef salad Chicken pad thai was good, but wasn't extraordinarily different from any other pad thai I've had. Pork drunken noodles were decent, but I felt that the noodles were overly soft. Tom kha soup was a bit too thick for my liking and the chicken was dry. However, the beef salad was the star of our meal! They open at 11a on Sunday. Park on the West side of the building to be closer to the bar entrance as happy hour is only served there.

This is a really nice place. Their chicken red curry was really awesome, however their pai thai was bland and the tofu was not properly fried. I was also not a fan of their wonton soup which I also found to be pretty bland. Overall the food was ok

Deja vu, that unexplainable feeling that somehow you've been here before... or seen this menu and eaten these drunken noodles before. Yes, Typhoon has been reincarnated as Thai Bloom... without the slave-labor in the kitchen we assume. It's not the same ownership; they fled the country. But it is the same water glasses and, more importantly, some of the same cooks... presumably those in the country legally... or at least willfully. Typhoon was a favorite of mine and any of my friends. We were shocked, outraged when the behind-the-scenes goings-on were revealed. But, we were also, selfishly, sad to loose that great food. So, we were delighted to visit Thai Bloom and find so many of our old favorites faithfully recreated. My personal Typhoon favorite was Drunken Noodles with Beef and Mushrooms. I rationed myself allowing myself to have it only every-other time. Well, I can't remember where I was in that regime, so I decided to allow myself to begin anew. The Drunken Noodles was perfect... but the mushrooms -- while good -- fell short if Typhoon's high standards. In their defense, the mushroom option was not on the menu and the waiter agreed to do it specially for me. In that light, it was very good. Lunch prices are about $10. The service is good. And the big windows make the dining room light and airy, a welcome change from Typhoon's dark decor. So, if you liked Typhoon, if you like good Thai-style food, head to Thai Bloom!

I'd driven by this place many times, but never tried it until yesterday. Went with a couple of coworkers for lunch who were gushing about how awesome the food is here. Lunch hour perhaps isn't the best time to come to this place - the wait (for someone to show up to take the order, for someone to refill our water, for our food to come out and for our bill to come out) was just... yeah, so I have to deduct a star. I ordered a boat noodle and both my coworkers drunken noodles and one coworker also ordered a tom kah soup as well(she figured the soup will come out before the food as she was starving, she told us). We sat around for 15min before our waiter showed up to take our orders, then another 20-25 min for our food to show up. Our waiter who wrote down our orders didn't bring the soup my coworker ordered - then when she asked him about the soup (when we finally got our food), he sounded surprised. My coworkers were very happy with their food, but I found the boat noodle to be incredibly salty and very greasy. More than anything, the service was disappointing (thus deducting another star). Perhaps I'll go back when it's not lunch time and give them another try.

We got some to go food delivered to the office. It was soooo good! The only problem we had was it took about an hour to have it delivered, at 2 pm on a weekday. But our office assistant liked it so much she went back the next night with her sister. We got the yellow curry and it was to die for, just the right amount of spice :)!
Typhoon is back! Yah, love this place. It is pretty much EXACTLY the same menu, same chefs, etc. as Typhoon used to be. For those of us who absolutely LOVED Typhoon, you'll love this. All the same. Just basically changed company name. For those of you who haven't been here, WOW! You're missing out. Most amazing food in Beaverton. Plus, they deliver to all over in Beaverton for a really great price!!! Although they only have limited number of drivers so sometimes they can't do a delivery for a long time. Call early in the evening if you want delivery. Anyway, our family's favs are Drunken Noodles (amazing here!!!!), Salad Rolls (better than anyone else!), Tum Yung Gung soup (shrimp. Crazy spicy but you won't care, because it tastes so good!), and Pad Thai Noodles. Crying Tiger is also good. Oh! And if you like the more mild stuff, you can't ever go wrong with the Pinapple Curry!!!!! That stuff rocks! But it's pretty mild. Everything here is amazing. Gourmet Thai food at great prices.

One of the best Thai restaurants in town! Recently moved from LA, I was in the hunt for good and authentic Thai foods. After 1 year of searching I found this restaurant. Search is over!! Of course it'll never compared to Thai goods in LA.

Not Good for delivery but I've had better thai food elsewhere and I can say it's not that great. Moving on to other places until I find that one place that serves better tasting flavors.

We were greeted warmly...nice start! My friend knew the owner as she is a regular, so I immediately felt comfortable and excited to try her fave Thai joint. We ordered 3 plates and soup as an appetizer. 44 minutes later we had no soup or food and may I add no water. We knew that they were busy, but seriously, 44 minutes with no food and no water is ridiculous. I feel bad writing such a negative review since it's her favorite place but I have to be honest about the experience. Friends with the owner or not, the customer experience should be the most important thing. Don't get me wrong, they were nice, but just extremely slow and...negligent. I felt like they served all the other tables efficiently but just left us to hang there.... This could've easily been a 4 star review because when we finally got our soup and dishes (at the same time, I may add) it was delicious. The service continued to stay lacking, I doubt I will be back.

I absolutely love this place, the best Thai food I've had in Beaverton Hillsboro aloha area! The happy hour pricing is great, the food is made from scratch and you get awesome value for the price. The bar fills up quick so get here early for happy hour!

Thai Bloom, I love you. I don't even know what else to say. Everything I've tried is delicious. Their happy hour prices are fabulous. I want to eat my weight in mango sticky rice and coconut ice cream. Thank you for being an awesome gluten-free option for this gal.

I beg to differ with the reviews on this place's Thai food and its taste. Tom Kha- WAY too salty. It was not my taste buds that is the problem, but it was the whole table who agreed. We have all had multiple Thai dishes and have tried Tom Kha before... this was NOT Tom Kha. Tom Kha is supposed to taste similar to Tom Yum, just with some coconut. This was coconut with a pound of salt in it! Halibut- nothing to mention Roasted Duck Salad- Once again, the sauce was super salty ... i've had Thai salads before and they tend to be a bit more sour and sometimes sweet... this one was too salty... the fish sauce was not altered enough and I can smell and taste the saltiness of it. Basal Chicken- Probably the only one that was not salty but nothing notable to mention. Fried Calamari- Sadly, the only thing I found good was a generic dish that can be found in different restaurants not exclusive to Thai. This place is on my "banned" list... never AGAIN... Edit: this was my SECOND time here ( i always give a place a second chance), and the first time wasn't that pleasant either... aside from the Happy hour pricing, i would NOT come here just for taste.

Ordered delivery to my hotel after a long day. Their customer service when taking my order was absolutely fantastic and he apologized in advance for the wait, which was roughly an hour. The food arrived within 45 minutes and the lady who delivered it was equally friendly. The Tom Yum Goong with prawns was delicious! I highly recommend Thai Bloom for both the tasty food and great service!

Best thai restaurant in beaverton!! I've had almost everything on the menu and it is always delicious and well made!! They deliver as well which is fabulous! Pad ped beef with green peppercorns is spicy and delicious! My husband always gets the crispy duck. If you like seafood all the fish options are outstanding!

I am not sure if they experienced an "off" day today due to the holiday but we went for lunch and were super disappointed. It was fairly crowded so we offered to sit in the bar but they said they did not have enough staff to open the bar area, so they seated us in the restaurant. No classical music today, which we loved last time. Even at lunch time they only provided the dinner menu and pricing, maybe that was due to the holiday who knows. OK onto the food. We each ordered a bowl of soup, Tom Yum and Tom Kha. Hubby thought both soups were OK, I found them to be salty, I got a nice huge bite of galangal root which I did not appreciate. Please remove the non edible parts before serving my soup! I got my usual Drunken Noodles, asked for the skinny Pad Thai Noodles instead, of course they ignored my request and I got the large noodles. My dish was greasy and not very flavorful. I asked for spicy and I guess that means hot oil to them. I did not like the taste or lack of taste much at all. It was too goopy and wet and way too sweet. Honey ordered a Special, Death by Asparagus, which was oddly bland. Hubby thought since it had Ginger Root, Jalapenos, and Bell Peppers it would be tasty. He never found one Jalapeno in his entire meal. It was served with pathetic looking dried out steamed rice. I also noted that some of the Asparagus was really woody and chewy, not good. (Since my lunch was awful I had a few bites of his). I ended up taking 80% of my meal home, Hubby said he would doctor it up and take it for lunch tomorrow. I am still mildly hungry. Sadly disappointed at the food quality and the prices.

I had the Thai bbq chicken large portion, fall off the bone tender and delicious. Served with fresh brown rice and fresh vegetables...my friend had the pad Thai with chicken said it was very good served with tender white chicken. The coffee took awhile to get brewed but was very unusually flavorful with a chestnut flavor, first rate just nothing I've tasted before. Thai iced coffee was rich and good but had a bit of a weird aftertaste in the cream. Service was fair the lady was nice but not great. Only two tables and she just wasn't that attentive, but nice. I wanted siracha sauce she brings this tiny little cup and it didn't taste like the real thing. Didn't have condiments on table had to ask for soy sauce, and no red chili sauce but food was first rate. FYI kind of expensive for Thai 11.99 and up for any dish....

Lyle R.
The Drunken noodles were very good and the service was super fast. The coconut ice cream is a must. The only reason I didn't give them 5 stars, and I probably will next time, is I would have liked to see some more vegetables in my dish. But out of the 5 Thai restaurants I have gone to in Beaverton Thai Bloom is the best.

Kris C.
i was delighted to learn through word of mouth that Typhoon had been reincarnated as Thai Bloom. Although typically, the sequel of a restaurant (or movie or album for that matter) rarely is as good as the original. To my delight, Thai Bloom is an exception. Same delicious calamari, fresh salad rolls, Pad Thai, Thai Iced Tea, prepared and served by the same excellent staff that formerly reigned at the Beaverton Round Typhoon location. These courageous Typhoon survivors are to be commended for regrouping to duplicate the magic of the west side's top Thai eatery. Mission accomplished.

The best Thai food I have eaten. I am a big fan of Thai food, and dont miss an opportunity to taste Thai cuisine on my travels. I am amazed at the quality of the dishes here. The recent revamp from Thai Derm to Thai Bloom - and the new management/chef have made all the difference. The Pad Thai, Green Curry, Panang curry etc are of the highest quality you will get anywhere -including Thailand ! Hope they keep up the good work.

My husband and I dropped in before the dinner rush and we were so impressed by the drinks, the service and the food. The Spicy Cosmo was delicious, my husband stole it from me. The salad rolls were the best we've had in the area. The pad thai was perfect and the BBQ chicken is exceptional. We had a yelp check-in deal for a free coconut ice cream and it was beauutiful and tasty. The owner came out and asked us how we heard about the restaurant. What a nice guy. We're coming back!

Excellent Thai food. I loved the crab pad thai & the fisherman fried rice. The sampler appertizer was also delicious & the peanut sauce was amazing. I will definitely go back.

Their Happy Hour is insane in terms of selection and price. $1.99 to $4.99 small platters (maybe at a dollar or two for beef or seafood), $3 micro brews, $4 well drinks, and BOMB $5 cocktails. The time is late in the day 4 to 6pm & last hour of business M-Sat and all day Sunday. The staff is very friendly and always lets you order off the HH menu even if you are a minute or two past. If you come during HH, expect your food in courses as things are brought to you as they are ready. Not really the place during HH times if you are in a hurry. If you want to sit outside you have to go in and ask first. I made that mistake once but the waitress was gracious and kindly explained the system to me. This is a hidden gem in Beaverton. Good food, prices, and customer service will keep me coming back!

Came in with a large group of friends after my husband's birthday bowling party. The menu offered a nice selection if Thai food, and our server was extremely pleasant and friendly. All the food looked tasty, and bites were shared amongst friends. Everything I sampled I enjoyed, and those items I didn't try looked appealing as well. The staff was courteous and accommodating, even though we came in later in the evening. Would definitely go back there.

Patrish M.
What a great meal! The service is excellent, the dining area is bright with large tree-shaded windows which is nice at lunch time. Everything we have ordered has been great. We have returned several times. We celebrated a birthday once and they were so gracious and even put a candle on our best ever mango sticky rice.

Excellent place to go for a casual meal or a sunday watching football! Bartender is super friendly, plenty of drink options and the couple bites I had off a friend's plate were DELICIOUS. These guys can cook some Thai Food! Love that it's easy to get to, huge parking lot and a fun group of people running the joint!

David S.
The new renovation looks really nice. The pad Thai is among some of the best. Good portions. The salad rolls come with two dipping sauces that pair well. I took advantage of the free hand made coconut ice cream, but would've gladly paid for it. Very well presented with little pieces of the coconut meat in it made it a great finisher. Will definitely be on my "go to" list.
(5)
Jules B.
WOW! A huge upgrade from the previous Thai Derm... Everything looks completely renovated! I was very impressed with the menu, I am gluten free and everything was marked specifically according to spiciness and whether it was gluten free or not. This made for simple smooth ordering. I had the "Crying Tiger" appetizer -my new favorite!- and the "Spicy Asparagus Shrimp" off the Summer special menu. Both were to die for! I have to say this was the best Thai Food I have ever had. I will definitely be back for more, and will have to make eating at Thai Bloom a regular thing!

I've been to Thai Bloom 3 times. First was when they first opened. They were a little over busy but managed the situation by giving us a great discount on our meal for the wait. Because of that we came back a second time. LOVED the food we had. Even though it wasn't during happy hour, the money was worth it. Some of the best Thai I've ever had. Just went this past week for a happy hour drink with a friend which turned into a long talk. I was nervous that we hadn't ordered too much and they would want us to leave but we were in the middle of a very important conversation. Melissa was our server and she was amazing. Came often enough to see if we needed anything but never made us feel pressured to leave. When we left I told her that and she was so genuinely friendly and made us feel so comfortable that I'm going back for dinner with my husband tonight. She truly made me feel like this could be my new favorite place to hang out. I can't say enough good things about this place. Melissa gave us outstanding service. The food is truly amazing. The Happy Hour prices and selection is awesome. You have to try it out yourself!!

The prices here are pretty darn reasonable, especially for dinner. I have had both the pad thai and green curry and they were absolutely delicious. I suggest the beef satay for an appetizer - the peanut sauce is awesome! The service here is really good as well. I will be going back for sure.

Possibly the best Thai food I've had in Portland. This area can be challenging. Most restaurants are chains. We're always trying to find different places to eat. We stumbled on to this place and now it's becoming a regular spot.

Songphon M.
There has been a lot of good word-of-mouths among Thai community in Portland about this place. Finally I had a chance to try the foods at Thai Bloom last Sunday. We chose to sit in the dining area as we wanted to focus on the food. The servers were very friendly and attentive. The restaurant was spacious, clean and well-decorated. For appetizers, we ordered "Hoi-Joh" (Thai-style fried crab cake) and "Crying Tiger" (Medium rare roasted beef with special Thai dried chili dipping sauce called "Jaew"). I have never seen any Thai restaurant in the U.S. having Hoi-Joh in the menu and I was impressed. Even though the taste was not as good as the original Hoi-Joh from the Eastern Thailand, it was close enough. The "Jaew" dipping sauce for "Crying Tiger" was perfect. For the main dishes, I ordered the signature boat noodle. (A short Thai food history lesson for this dish: the reason it has the name boat noodle is because it used to be sold by the vendor on the boat along the canal in Thailand some hundred years ago.) Normally, the boat noodle in Thailand is the noodle in beef stock soup with slow-cooked mixture of beef brisket and beef or pork meatballs served in a small bowl - you can easily eat 5-10 bowls and stacking them up. Here in Thai Bloom, however, the portion is so gigantic that we should call it "Titanic" boat noodle. In my opinion, the taste has been americanized but it is still savory by adding some Thai chili and vinegar. My friend ordered "Yen-ta-fo" (pink noodle soup). The pink (or red) color of the soup comes from the fermented tofu inspired by the combination of Thai/Chinese dish. The taste was also good. I highly recommended this two noodle dishes. For the dessert, I used Yelp mobile app checking in the business and received the free home-made coconut ice-cream. (Thank you, Yelp! for this surprising deal.) The ice-cream is a perfect finish for our meal. All in all, it was a satisfying dinner. The foods came a little bit slow (may be because the restaurant was busy) but the huge portion and the taste of the foods made up for the waiting time. The price is a little higher than typical Thai restaurant but it is still reasonable. I will definitely go back again for different dishes.

So delicious! We had the crab pad Thai and the flaming fish. Both were stellar! The steamed veggies on the side were a little sad though. Service was very fast and friendly. It is owned by the two chefs from typhoon which is cool. I'm glad something good came from that whole fiasco. We will definitely be back again and again. I love so many of their dishes. :)

My husband and I checked out Thai Bloom for the first time, and we have found our staple Thai restaurant in the Beaverton area. Everyone was really friendly, prices are slightly higher than standard Thai restaurants, but really only by a buck or two. Ambiance is upper end of casual dining, candles on tables and cloth napkins but comfortable enough to put your elbows on the table. I ordered the chicken pad thai and my husband ordered the orange ginger chicken off the winter specials menu. My pad thai was good, not amazing but not disappointing at all. The chicken is a higher quality than I am accustomed to in a standard Thai joint. My husband's dish was amazing. The sauce was bright with lots of citrus and the ginger flavor was fresh and intense without overpowering the other flavors. I will be going back before they change the specials! A couple other details I think are worth noting... I sat within view of the kitchen doorway, and couldn't help but sneak a peek here and there. I was really happy to see that their kitchen staff was constantly washing their hands, you could really tell that it's just second nature to them and that makes me feel so comfortable in a restaurant. Also, while we were there they seated a large party (probably 25 people or so?) and while I have no idea if they had a reservation or extra staff on to accommodate, our service did not suffer at all despite the extra work the staff had with such a large group.

Chad B.
Happy hour here is pretty awesome. It gets a little busy, but the servers have been very gracious for all the running around they do. My family is gluten free and this was a friendly experience for us. It was easy to know which meals were available for us and the staff actually seems to know when we ask questions about ingredients. One of the great Thai restaurants in the area!

Sean A.
WOW! WHAT FLAVORS! Thats the first thing that comes to mind when i think and speak about this place. Ive stopped in a few times for lunch with other from work and i always go away happy. This time in i was with just my wife. She LOVES Thai food. I on the other hand am not a big fan. I have to be in the mood, and it has always been hit and miss for me. Well this place is for sure a HIT. We had some cream cheese won tons that were perfectly cooked. Not overdone so they taste burnt, there are several places guilty of this. And the won tons were fresh. How can one tell? Ever had one that had a crunch, but was kind of chewy? Didnt break clean and crisp like a potato chip? Thats old won tons. My wife ordered the yellow curry with chicken, and i got a ginger chicken. Seriously, both were top notch. Lots of places do curry, and its easy to make, but not easy to do well. This had body, and a multitude of flavors that lots of places lack. You could taste the curry, and its not overwhelming. The coconut is there adding a creaminess to it. Honestly, when i think of a curry, this is what i think of and expect but rarely get. The ginger chicken was also a winner. Great flavor without overpowering, and had the right amount of spice. Had to take some home just to have it for lunch! We also got the mango sticky rice which is something we both love. And again, this place does a SMASHING job! The people are very nice. Service was excellent. Lord even the iced tea was super tasty. On a date night, i will gladly come here with the wife. I can see kids enjoying it here as well, but if they dont already like Thai flavors (which myne dont) , you would be better off at another place. But if you like Thai, GOOD Thai, you should be coming here.

Solid place for happy hour in the Beaverton area. Portions of food items are good. However their cocktails are very very weak - didn't seem like there was hardly any alcohol. One point of confusion - they have two entrances, one leading into the main dining area and the other for the bar. If you walk in the bar entrance, you must walk around to where the other door is to check in with the hostess before sitting. Didn't know this the first time and my friend and I just stood around waiting for someone to greet us.

This was my last day in Oregon and we were craving some Thai food. The ambiance of this place impressed me as soon as I walked the in. The Garlic Pork was pretty good, a little dry, but the flavor of the sauce is what made it special. Lastly the coconut ice cream was amazing. I suggest everyone try that! Way to cap off my last meal in Oregon!

If I could give this place negative stars, it would be in the range of -10. We arrive at Thai bloom, order drinks had to re-request to get our drinks and waited 30 minutes for Thai iced teas. People were seated a half hour after us and we're served their food, ate it and left in the time it took us to still get nothing. We ordered soup as an appetizer, that took a half hour to come and it was freezing. By this point the table who are and left now had new people at it who had already gotten food!!!!! Our waitress would purposely avoid our table because she had no idea what was ever going on. We asked her several times where or food was and she said it would be right out. Time after time of asking our food was still not coming out. We asked other waitresses, the hostess and no one knew what was going on without food. After an hour of waiting we finally flagged down our waitress and said we just wanted our food to go. She said, ok it's ready I'll bring it right out. We waited another 15 minutes and she brought it out, but mentioned one of the meals STILL WASNT READY! We waited another 5 minutes got our food and got the hell out of there All in all this was the worst restaurant experience I've ever had and I will never go back.

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. The worst of times is that this was absolutely the slowest service I've ever gotten. Appetizer came out 50 minutes after I ordered it!!! Drinks were slow to be refilled. Just terrible service. The best of times is that this was by far the best drunken noodle that I have ever had. That's my go to dish whenever I try a new place out and this place did it perfectly. Great portions and very good spice to it. The food here is probably a 5 but the service was terrible so meeting in the middle and giving it three stars.

Still a favorite! We've now been back and are still loving Thai Bloom. The fried rice is something we've tried since our initial visit, and man is it good. The rice has incredible flavor, and is cooked to perfection along with a crispy variety of vegetables like bok choy, broccoli, carrots, cucumber, tomatoes, and your protein of choice. There are 3 in house made hot sauces to go along with meals. The chili paste sauce with the fried rice is just heaven. Makes my mouth sing with happiness. The "special" hot wings are still amazing, as well as the pot stickers. Along with the fried rice we have since tried the salad rolls. Oh my gosh, they are also shockingly good. Fresh ingredients, and just the right amount of everything in a flawless little roll. The Thai Peanut sauce that comes with the salad rolls is also perfection. We do something at Thai Bloom that we don't at most restaurants. That is only order apps, and a side dish. Thai Bloom does such an astoundingly good job with the basics like pot stickers and wings, we rarely make it to the main menu!

We ordered a mostly vegetarian meal: - vegetarian salad rolls - fried calamari - tom yom soup - thai iced tea - seasonal IPA - papaya salad - pumpkin curry - pad thai (tofu) - side of sticky rice - side of brown rice - coconut ice cream - fried banana dessert Great Pad Thai! The fried banana dessert was also very good, and unique. Friendly service, too. Would definitely come back.

It gets crowded on the evening but with good reason, the food is excellent. I haven't ordered pad thai in years because it's usually terrible and full of ketchup, yuck, but here it was very very tasty and seemed to be sans ketchup. Te pad se ew was also very good as was the duck and well just about everything we had. We did have to wait about 25 mins for a party of four, so I suggest you expect that or make reservations.

Laney D.
I ordered to go but I will definitely eat at the restaurant next time. The order took about 20 min. It was really busy when I came to pick up the food (Friday evening at 7pm). I ordered Panang curry with chicken and papaya salad with prawns. The curry was creamy and spiced just right. The papaya salad was pretty good. The prawns came with the salad on skewers (I've always had papaya salad with the shrimp mixed into the salad so this was different for me). Overall, the food was excellent! I will be coming back for sure!

We've had delivery from here twice now, the first time was awesome, loved the food. Ordered the exact same thing (chicken pad Thai) but this second time it didn't taste like anything. I could taste the chicken and I could taste the noodles and the medium spice I asked for but not the pad Thai taste. We called and got the pad Thai taken off, so it was a pleasant experience. Was craving that pad Thai though. Update: they're sending new pad Thais over :) yay!! Thank you to the manager :D

This place is INCREDIBLE! The always-lively restaurant is proof. Went there 2 times in one day even. I'm a former Typhoon lover and was so heartbroken when they closed! Thai Bloom is the result of the failed Typhoon, taking their kitchen and even a few wait staff members to create this new and improved version. But this place might even be better, if that's possible! Great chicken satay and Panang curry with beef. Not many Thai places provide sufficient beef in their curries, but this place nails if with quality and taste. A must-try!

Edwin T.
Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free friendly deliciousness Thai food! If you fall in between those dietary categories, you won't be disappointed! The menu is set up so you can easily see the icons of what can be order vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free. Thai tea kicker with vanilla and alcohol was pretty good. The portions are pretty good, I always have left overs. Overall I have always had great service and food in this place.

I've dined in twice before and loved the food both times. This last time, I was in the area and ordered carry out during lunch time. I just got an order of pad thai, since my little kids were with me and sitting in seemed too much of a task. My toddler cant handle spicy so I ordered a regular pad thai with chili sauce on the side. When I went to pick it up after the lady told me it would be a 25 minute wait, I went in 20 minutes, the food was sitting there. The lady at the front desk was a bit short and not very friendly. She stated my total which was $8.95 , ran my card and walked off leaving the receipt on the counter to sign. ( oh and I should mention before walking off she stated your food is behind you on the counter sitting there) I thought she was going to come back to take the restaurant signed copy but she did not. I grabbed my food and quickly took a look at to verify. It looked ok but it was not very hot like it had been sitting there a while. When we got home the food was pretty cold by then and I live about 10 minutes away which was still not bad but when I tried it the flavor just tasted very overpowering of fish sauce. Also there was no chili sauce on the side. It was definitely not the best chicken pad thai I've had and there was a very strong bitterness about it I could not point out what. My toddler who usually loves pad thai did not like it at all, and kept complaining it tasted weird. Unfortunately this experience was not the best given the unfriendly staff, mediocre food, and forgetting the sauce on the side. Maybe their carry out is not the best choice for this place and its only worth it if you have time to sit in and dine. or since I haven't been here in over 6 months maybe the quality of food has gone down. I'm not sure which it is, either way I know I won't be back for a while. I loved when they were Typhoon by the way. Unfortunately this last experience fail to impress me.

Very happy to find a nice, clean, and delish Thai restaurant in Beaverton. I had a curry with shrimp that had nice flavors and a perfect amount of spicy for me over brown rice. The shrimp were a medium size with tails so kind of hard to eat. My husband and son shared the Pad Thai with chicken and beef noodle dish (he requested extra spice but could still have more) neither came spicy so ask for extra if you like spice! Overall a good find with a nice clean decor. We sat at the bar and the service was fine but they needed extra help as he was very busy making drinks for the restaurant which all looked really good. We will come back to check out happy hour!

Thai Bloom is amazing! There are so few places in Beaverton that cater to vegan folk, so it's nice that it's easy to have different food restrictions than most. The tofu Pad See Ew is always amazing.

This one is going to be tricky. We went there twice and the first time was 5 star worthy. The second time however...barely 3 stars. We feel the biggest difference was the service. I'm still looking for the receipt from our first visit to get the name of the server. She was terrific! Very professional, polite, knowledgeable, and attentive. She's a skinny dark haired lady with an accent. I wish I knew her name. :/ Anyway, she knew exactly what she was doing. The second time...ugh...our server's name was Chelsea. She had no concept of what vegan was (even though it's clearly on their menu). At one point we ordered the salad rolls vegan version and she seriously asked, "so prawns or tofu?" O.o Really? We also ordered the spinach wraps (which were sorely disappointing vegan or not) and she brought out this brown sauce which not only tasted like there was honey in it but possibly some kind of fish sauce. To top it off, that dish came out with some kind of shrimp on it. She took it back and they made another but did not replace the shrimp/prawns with anything. We should have been told that before we ordered it. Then we ordered the pineapple fried rice and was brought the Thai fried rice instead. We had not ordered either before so we had put some on our plates. When she was walking by I asked, "Isn't there supposed to be pineapple in this?" She said that we ordered the Thai fried rice. We told her we did not. She grabbed the fried rice and I asked if she wanted us to put back what was on our plates. She said it doesn't matter because they have to throw it away anyway! Yikes! She should have left the Thai fried rice and brought us the pineapple fried rice too. That would have been proper customer service...especially considering all the mistakes she was making beyond the fried rice. The icing was that she NEVER asked us how we were doing but asked other tables around us how they were doing. She was clearly upset with us for her mistakes. She either needs serious re-training or she needs to go work at McDonald's.

Great Thai food. We went with a big group and majority of people ordered and loved the drunken chicken noodles. Basil fried rice and green curry were also really good! You can adjust your spice level, so it caters to all tastes. We will be back for more awesome Thai food!

Love the food, we've given up on eating in the restaurant... Calling ahead and picking up your order is best. The happy hour and bar area is nice if you get there before it fills up.

The food was actually good but I was not impressed with the service. We went there for Happy Hour and they forgot one of our items. After we inquired about it they said it would be right out that was 15 minutes later. They didn't even apologize for it.

The food here is not my favorite, the only reason I come here so often is because my boyfriend loves the food here. It is a bit on the pricier end and I prefer to come for the happy hour. The drunken noodles are probably my favorite dish here.

Delicious food! They have a great happy hour as well. I love to order a little bit of everything and they make it affordable! $3 for tom yum soup with a great amount of your choice of meat, $6 great portion of drunken noodles, and $5 for the oh-so-good beef salad! My only complaint is the service when it is busy (which is always during happy hour.) they also never fail to bring out plates one by one, leaving some at the table waiting and watching as others receive their plates--awkward! I had 1 bad experience while with my family and husband where we waited over 45 min for our dinner. But the food is so good... So we return :)

This place was super busy, but they delivered great food! Everybody working here chipped in and made sure we were happy. I left happy and full. I strongly recommend this place.

1.5 hours for deliver, AND "sometimes it's up to 2.5 hours". On what planet? Prime example of poor biz skills in a 2015 environment. Too bad because food is very good andcserbice has always been great as well. Perhaps a one-off last night.

An absolute favorite Thai eatery! And with a new location off NW 23rd, even more accessible throughout Portland! This is where I go when I want other delicacies beyond Pad Thai. The food is always fresh and impressive. Sundays happy hour is served all day long! They have fancy and tasty cocktails, but this is a hh to hit up for small plates. Here you can indulge in exotic variety. Inside is sophisticated yet very inviting for any occasion including an impromptu lunch. Service has always been very attentive and kind. They value and appreciate their customer's experience. Keep growing Thai Bloom, you're doing it right.

I could eat Thai food a couple times a week- okay probably more. I'm giving the Thai Bloom the A-OK for now, but I feel like I'm going to give it another shot and try it again soon. I am a noodle and spice lover, and the evening that we went I tried something different than my typical orders and was pretty underwhelmed. Service was friendly, but we counted and we had at least 3/4 people checking in on us, it seemed like there was a little confusion on who had our table. The place was busy though, lots of people coming in and some people ordering take out. The veggies I ordered were cooked well, where I thought my meat was tough and over cooked. Sauces were great though!

Ordered Pad Thai with no peanuts, it came with peanuts. Thats not the annoying part, that happens all the time and isn't a big deal. What was annoying was it was a to go order, and when we phoned to get a new batch or refund we were told we were liars and asked to drive down and prove it. 10 mins of arguing later we eventually got a refund.

We had attended to other priorities in the area, and (at 2:15PM) it was well past time for lunch. Thai Bloom had been highly recommended in the past, and this was a fine opportunity to stop in! Timing favored us; the restaurant was relatively uncrowded. We were pleasantly greeted and promptly seated. I ordered the cashew chicken and fried rice. My wife ordered a stir fry chicken dish with brown rice. Neither of these were overpoweringly spicy; they were well seasoned and very well prepared, and we enjoyed every bite! Noise levels permitted conversation without competition from nearby tables. Our server was very attentive and professional. It was a fine luncheon experience, and we hope to return for dinner. I would recommend Thai Bloom for families, for small business lunches (parties of 2-4).

Best thai food ever. The grilled salmon with green curry is excellent. Spicy and cooked so well. Kudos. A slice of fresh coconut on the salmon is the best ever. The taste is so good. You will want more of that tender coconut.

****HAPPY HOUR REVIEW**** My first HH experience was awesome (thanks to a fantastic waitress). We came here to celebrate a co-workers going away party. I didn't know how many to expect so we started with a table of 6. Myself and another gal ordered first while waiting for others to show up. At one point, our table was full and the table next to ours was occupied. The waitress asked the customers next to us if they wouldn't mind moving to another table so everyone at our end could be together. The customers next to us didn't mind which made the transition really smooth. The waitress we had was super sweet, down to earth and awesomely friendly. I couldn't remember her name but she had short brown hair. The Happy Hour prices are pretty good considering the amount of food. I shared the following plates with a friend: - Chicken Larb Salad - good salad but a little too spicy. Next time I order this, I'll have to ask them to lessen the peppers. -Drunken Noodles w/chicken - you can never go wrong with this option. -Chicken Skewers (can't remember the name) - chicken has great flavor and it's super tender In addition, I had a fruit drink with fresh mangos (forgot the name too). Overall, the ambience and atmosphere was fun and relaxing. I definitely would return to try their other HH items.

Tri ed this place for HH a long time ago under old management and it was good. Went back today for lunch time. Was impressed with the service (can be seen as 5-10min slower than normal) during the busy lunch rush. Pad Thai with tofu did not have as much tofu in it although the amount of veggies was proportional. Display of the dish was part of what made it much more enjoyable. Try their roasted rice tea (can't remember the real name) if you're into tea. It has a unique flavor that is rather refreshing - can't describe. Best, most amazing homemade coconut icecream!!! Must try. Restaurant also has a bar side so could be a plus :) Great menu with identifying alternatives that could be made (gluten free, vegan, level of spicyness,etc.).

Went on a Saturday night, about a 20 min wait for a table for four. Bar area was pretty noisy and we found ourselves shouting at each other. I got the crackling duck and it was AMAZING. Perfectly done and the sauce was a great blend of sweet and spicy. Ordered the coconut ice cream for dessert and was pleasantly surprised. It was very light and not overly sweet. We will be going there again soon.

I had heard great things about Thai Bloom and was really disappointed. We ordered takeout at my office (just three people) and were told it would be ready for pickup at 11:15. I arrived at 11:15 on the dot--food wasn't ready, but no problem, I'd rather it be hot anyway :). I stood and responded to some work emails. At around 11:25 I politely checked in with the hostess, who said it would be up any minute. Meanwhile a few other people with numbers after mine came in and picked up food. At 11:35 I was getting a little frustrated and again very politely checked in with the hostess, who told me it was the salad rolls we ordered which were taking so long. Huh? Keep in mind I placed the order at 10:45. Long story short, they didn't bring my food out until 11:45. I was about to tell the hostess to forget about it when they finally brought it out. The person who brought it to me pushed it into my hands and walked away, no apology. I was not offered any kind of discount or even really an apology for the wait. After all that the food was cold and really nothing special. Maybe I was just there on an off day, but I work in the customer service industry--when mistakes happen, we do everything to make it right with the customer, and they didn't even really seem to care. With so many other Thai options in the area, we will not be back.

Love going here on Sunday for their all day happy hour prices. Good food and good times. And the free home made ice cream is icing on the cake!
Awesome food we have made this place a go-to spot for us given the consistently great food, service, and willingness to accommodate vegetarian diets!

The food and drinks are amazing. It tends to always be busy though so if you are looking for a quick meal this is not the place to eat but if you have the time and want tasty Thai food it's great.

So i went to thai bloom because i wanna try different thai resto around beaverton! Well good reviews and so we tried! We liked the place! Big and roomy! Nice and friendly waiters! So i tried chicken tom yum well it looks yummy And i like the clear soup. Taste is good but it can be better! No strong lime flavour and basically just few pieces chicken and cherry tomatoes. Main dishes came out! Pad ped mu and green curry Honestly i was shocked bout my pad ped! It was so plain and little for 15 dollars. Taste? Just like soy sauce stir fry! No authentic thai flavours at all. I was really dissapointed about my orders. Green curry is average! But my friends liked it because there was a coconut in the curry! I think it is better than my pad ped! Good thing? My friend said the food quality is good and well cooked! He liked the mushroom so much! I dont think i will come back here because it is too pricey

Really enjoyed this place. Surprisingly packed on a Thursday night. Great bar on one side and dining on the other. Great that I was able to enjoy an extremely filling dinner as well as watch the NBA finals. Redeemed my free coconut dessert to top off the night. Next time I'm craving quality Thai in Beaverton I'm not thinking twice.

I tried this place out yesterday with my friend. It was very tasty. First time trying Thai food, I will be definitely be going back to try other dishes. I had the drunken noodles , my friend had the yellow curry (vegan style), we would definitely recommend this place. Their juries are amazing they taste so natural. And the staff is really nice plus the dish work is gotgeous! :)

Great food. That's the only reason they get two stars. HORRIBLE service. I mean, terrible. I've been to this location several times. I waited 15 min for anyone to come to my table. Meanwhile, I saw servers going to tables multiple times who had arrived AFTER me. Second, I was charged 6.99 for a well rum and thai iced tea. Really????????? I understand it was thai tea but that's the mixer. When you create a mix, it should be a "built drink"... meaning you have less mixer than if you just ordered that plain. If I ordered a rum and coke I guess it would be $6? Terrible. No one apologized for the extreme wait or being ignored beyond what was reasonable. It seemed the servers were running back and forth but doing nothing.

Robert G.
Best of all is check in and get one free item. Bring a friend with their yelp Place is not busy Sunday at 2;44 pm. Chicken wings are amazing. I ordered the crab pad thai and did not like it. The drunken noodles are delicious. My friend went hell crazy over the pineapple curry. I liked it but I was scared watching him eat it. I ordered the coconut vodka, fresh lime juice cocktail special and it was delicious enough to go buy the ingredients and serve it at home. Great place. Highly recommend it.

I love finding great places to dine in the burbs. Thai Bloom has great food and a great space. Up front is very modern, even Portlandia style. In the back its much more like a plain dining room, but the tables are so spread out it's a great place for a lunch meeting or just being with friends without feeling like you are sitting right on top of your neighbors. I ordered the Pad Se Ew and it was a large serving and was really good. I will definitely be back. Also I checked in with Yelp and got a free Coconut ice cream. I am not a huge fan of ice cream, but thought I would at least try it. This was so good I ate the whole thing. Great lunch spot.

I've only ever been here for happy hour, many times. If you check in with Yelp on your phone here, you can get a free coconut ice cream! As someone who has been to Thailand many times, the food is quite authentic, and they have a great cocktail list too. I will be back!

People were nice and everything, but the food was mediocre at best. It's not bad, just not as good as some places. Had the pad Thai and it was kind of flavorless in my opinion. The dishes are all presented well, but for me I'm looking for flavor.

The food is excellent and their happy hour prices are pretty hard to beat! I haven't sampled much from the main menu, I usually just go in for happy hour, but if those dishes are any indication of what to expect then I need to go in for more!

Great food, good service. Sat at he bar because it was crazy busy on a Sunday night. Had a vegetarian colleague with me and he loved the food. I can't vouch for the authenticity, but I enjoyed it all. If you travel on business, yelp is a godsend. Another great meal, thanks Yelp!

Meagan B.
We went for happy hour and were promptly seated, even though the place was packed. We ordered the orange spare ribs, calamari, veggie spring rolls, fried rice, and edamame. The Thai tea cocktail I ordered had more liquor than not, and was delicious. We got all of this for less than $30. The food was authentic tasting but with a modern spin and it came out quick and hot. We will definitely be back.

McKenna P.
This is my go-to place for happy hour. Great deals, amazing food, and delicious cocktails. The service can be slow at times, but the workers are always friendly. My favorite things on the happy hour menu are the veggie spring rolls, fried calamari, and the Thai Tea Kicker. Those are definitely must-try items. On the regular dinner menu, they have a great selection of curry. It's more spendy, but it's completely worth the price. The atmosphere is very laid-back, and I have never felt like the workers are trying to rush me out of the restaurant, even if I spend a while in there chatting with my friends. I would highly recommend this for a night out with friends-- there are so many delicious things to choose from!

Andrew D.
Thai Bloom is different, when compared to Thai Roses and other places. You have the choice of a quiet area or a loud area, both are quite nice. I would say the atmosphere and food are definitive and tasty. If you like Thai food, then you should give this place a try. You might be pleasantly surprised.

Gillian W.
I was pretty sure I reviewed this place, I think I reviewed it when it was Thai Derm, but I'll review it again- it is in fact a different business. I have only been there for a few times but the food is amazing! Not your run of the mill Thai food. The chef is excellent which is represented in the food. So delicious and enticing. The most interesting thing of course was this place gaining a FULL bar, they have an awesome HH which I had the fortune to partake in last night. I highly recommend. The food they have for HH is just right, good choices and just enough the wet the palate! Definitely going to get on some HH here before the summer end!

Thai bloom was recommended by a friend and living on the west side of town where the selection of good restaurants isn't as plentiful we had to try. The happy hour is great and all Sunday is happy hour. Between two of us we had 5 dishes and four glasses of wine and it came to just under $30! The tom kah soup is fabulous and when poured over their jasmine rice... Omg. The atmosphere is nice and makes it feel like you're not in to he suburbs. I can't, however, say it's the best thai food I've ever had bet a definite solid choice. The only other negative is the bathroom temperature. Ever time I've gone it is comparable to a sauna in there... Not sure why but definitely uncomfortable.

This is a gem of a Thai restaurant. Location: okay, it's way out there in Beaverton - on Cedar Hills Blvd at Westgate, in a little brick strip mall across from the BMW dealer. It is way better than the dozen Thai restaurants I've tried in central Portland though so it's worth the trip. Ambiance: This is the other reason (besides the food) that this place gets and deserves high ratings. It doesn't feel like a dive in fact the opposite. There is tons of parking, a nice central bar and plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. The place is clean and the wait staff are very friendly. 5 stars for all this. Menu: The menu is refreshingly varied and unlike the standard list of classic dishes you see everywhere else. For this alone it is special. But they also have original dishes made with seasonal ingredients and more fresh vegetables. They have a number of salads you will not find anywhere else. They have a seasonal menu (spring-summer or fall-winter) and they have a happy hour menu. The menu uses a symbol system for the hot factor, and the food is on the mild side. I(f you are looking for very hot Thai food, go to Baan Thai in downtown Portland.) Food Rating: I give the food 4 1/2 stars. We got a 'summer special' tempura asparagus salad that was spectacular. . Nicely trimmed dark greens, pulled chicken, shrimp and the melt in your mouth tempura asparagus. All perfectly dressed with a fresh and mildly spicy dressing. The waterfall steak salad was also excellent - tender spicy hot beef w fresh scallions over large romaine leaves. This one is Paleo perfect! The Tom Kha soup was flavorful with lots of green beans, mushrooms, etc. but the coconut was too thick and rich and it was missing the tartness of lime and lemongrass. This was the only real disappointment. The crab pad thai was sublime. The generous crab was lightly breaded and grilled I think - fresh and still hot. The egg also was not overcooked, still tender. The chicken was excellent quality, not dry. It was clearly just made for us. We look forward to going again soon and I may update the food info. If you don't live there, find an excuse to go to Beaverton and try this place. Just don't do it during rush hour.

WARNING to all customers. Check your receipt against your bank statement! I ordered takeout today and did not tip them because it took 1/2 to get me the food and they did not make it to my specification. So my totaI I authorized was $27.98. However, my online bank statement indicated that they charged me for $33.58. So my server Nam decided to give herself a 20% tip without my authorization. This is considered FRAUD and I've reported it to my bank. Will be contacting the restaurant owner/manager next.

Very, very good Thai food. I love Thai food and have eaten it all of over the US and in Thailand. I have been ordering Thai Bloom from Delivered Dish for a year or two. Every time the food is excellent, especially considering it spends 20 minutes or more in a car before it gets to our house. Tonight we got massaman beef and cashew chicken. Bothe were excellent. The beef was incredibly tender and flavorful. The chicken was excellent and the vegetables were cooked PERFECTLY, crisp but not undercooked. Somebody was really paying attention to the details when they prepared our meal. If you want good, honest Thai food, Thai Bloom is the place.

Came here based on the rave reviews. A bit of wait on a Sat night for a table of 2. Long lineup for bigger parties without reservation (30min wait). Parking is ample. Has a big LCD screen showcasing their dishes right at the restaurant's entrance waiting area; a rather smart biz tactic as ppl are more willing to try new food when they know how it looks like. May be that is how they draw ppl to the restaurant despite the food is just a-ok by Portland standards. Food: A-ok. Ordered Papaya salad and Pad Kee Mao. Both were tasty but had no special kick. Didn't wow us. Portion is on the big side; great for sharing. Not enough basil in the Kee Mao to enhance the dish aroma. The salad used too much fish sauce and didn't quite balance out the palm sugar, so it ended up being a bit too salty. The fried bananas dessert was disappointing; its batter coating was so thick and over fried, and it pitifully came with only 4 short strips of fried bananas - each split in half - that is only 1 whole banana was being used in the making of this dish. Given bananas are relatively cheap, why cannot they put more in as supposed to cheat & fill the plate up with fried coconuts - which was not even part of the dish description. If we didn't have the cup of free coconut ice-cream from checking-in on Yelp, we wouldn't be able to chew any of these down. Atmosphere: Clean & decent. Good for groups. Lot families visited when we were there. Service: Slow in general, but consider it was a Sat night full house, it is considered acceptable. Price: Comparable to other thai places in town. Verdict: Had better Thai else there. Don't know what the rave is all about.

Picked up our CSA share and looked at all the veggies that needed preparing. It made me tired. Hmm. Lets go out for Thai! Previously Thai Bloom had contacted me through Yelp and asked me to come in and try them I didn't like that so I held out for a long time. Hubby reminds me that I don't get to be anonymous on here because its public. I should get over myself. So we went. The verdict? 3.5. Maybe 3.75. Just shy of a 4 for us. The restaurant inside is beautiful. Far nicer than it was when it was Thai Derm. The service was efficient and reserved. It felt a little formal. The dishes were pretty to look at. This is what we ordered: Seafood cream cheese wonton.( crunchy with tamarind sauce) Panang curry with chicken.( nice veggies tasty curry) Bbq pork with egg noodles.( pork, egg noodles, two steamed shrimp dumplings,a crispy wonton, some greens, a scatter of crushed red pepper all in a clump) Pineapple fried rice with tofu. ( not much rice, oodles of veggies and pineapple) Chicken satay with cucumber salad and steamed white rice for Princess. ( all very nice, cucumber salad large and delicious) Raspberry lemon drop (2, these were perfect and delicious) Pineapple express (booze and fruit juices) Thai iced tea (2, Princess inhaled hers) Total $80 This was a fairly expensive dinner and yes we had beverages and an appetizer, but the entrees were a tad more than our usual two Thai places. Really its a lovely place for a meal and the food was tasty. I think maybe we like our Thai a little less formal. But try it! They have outside tables and a sweet bar, too.

I finally got to try out Thai Bloom. It looks to be one of the better places to have Thai food in Beaverton where I work. I thought I would have another version of Kao Soi. It is a Northern Thai based dish. I had a great version at Mee Dee but it was a little too rich with coconut milk. Thai Bloom's wasn't as rich with a little more sour to it. I liked it but one qualm I had is I wish they would have thinner slices of the red onion in it. It is a very filling dish for those who haven't had it. It is must have. I also had the handmade coconut ice cream which is free with checking in on Yelp. It was also excellent. I see why the food along with the service gets it's 4.25 overall rating on Yelp.

Really enjoyed Happy Hour here. The portions were good and the prices even better. I sat immediately at the bar and noticed that it was indeed pretty crowded. Was nice to see they had a TV to watch the game on. Service was a touch slow as they seemed to have forgotten or just taken extra long to come out with my order of food. ORDER: Thai kicker drink - not overly sweet like a normal thai iced tea. Good blend with the vanilla vodka. Spicy basil chicken - good sized portion for HH. Plenty of green beans, peppers, basil, and chopped chicken. Overall was pretty good and not overly spicy. Tom Yum Soup - ordered the veggie version and didn't realize it came with huge chunks of tofu (should have asked). The soup was the highlight. Very flavorful broth. Tofu was so big though that it took up a lot of space in the small cup and therefore didn't get much actual soup. Coconut ice cream - Got the yelp check in deal. Was a small scoop of the ice cream with chocolate sauce and nuts. Quite good if you ask me. It was normally $4.95 on the menu...didn't seem like a big portion if that's the cost unless it was small just for the free deal. No biggie. Would recommend this place most definitely. Great Thai food for the area. Reasonable prices. They even let me take my HH food home which many places don't allow.

The food here is very good, but the call in and takeout times vary substantially. We waited over an hour last night for our takeout, which was promised in 20 minutes! Our meal last night overall was quite good: Garlic chicken 8/10 Drunken noodles 8/10 Pineapple curry 6/10 (way too salty, even for curry).

A Thai place that I am looking forward to visit again! Happy hour was a happy surprise for us! They have enough vegan options. Liked Tom Kha Soup ,Pad Thai and Spring Rolls. I highly recommend their Yellow Curry.Portion is good enough for two.We ended with coconut ice-cream which was yumm and had fresh strawberries on top. Very nice, quiet place and our server was very warm and helpful(best service in a Thai Restaurant so far). I will go again for their food and service!!

5 stars for service but the reason I gave this place 3 was because it was not authentic Thai nor spicy. In fact it was so opposite of spicy that it was sweet and we ordered it extra spicy with a side of fresh Thai chili from the back...still not spicy enough. They definitely cater to the American tastebuds. I ordered the Massaman Beef Curry, the ingredients were fresh and the quality of beef was great but it lacked in spice BIG TIME. My boyfriend ordered the Basil Chicken which he ordered extra spicy as well and though the ingredients were fresh it lacked flavor and again Spiciness. We also ordered the Papaya Salad and that was probably the sweetest I've ever had it, we actually asked them to remake it spicy like we had ordered it but still came back non spicy. I've worked in a Thai kitchen, one of my best friend is Thai and my boyfriend is Cambodian so maybe I just have high standards for Thai food...which is my favorite by the way. Sadly we will not be returning and our search for BOMB Thai continues!

Thai Bloom is a newer, authentic Thai restaurant in Beaverton. I understand that the Owner and some of the staff started it when Typhoon closed its doors. Their dishes are more traditional and authentic than most of the other Thai spots I have tried in town. The servers are friendly and helpful. I recommend the Panang Curry, Spicy Chicken Basil, and Lao-style Papaya Salad. You will not be disappointed!

Suyash K.
Food is pretty good and so is the wine. The menu is a little short so you don't get a very vast choice. But the taste covers up for this. Service is a little on the slower side - so if you have ample time, ho ahead without any second thoughts. I felt that the furniture needs to be maintained a bit too - like shaved edges of tables etc. On the whole, an average place with awesome food. I'd go again just for the taste.

Raj R.
With the variety of choices available for Thai Food, this place is worth a visit. Friendly staff and nice ambience. The only downside is the time it took for the food to arrive. I would recommend calling ahead of time to place your order. We have been doing this recently and enjoying a delicious lunch in less than an hour. Every item on their menu is tasty. Decent happy hour options as well.

OMG, I love this place. Just moved from CA Bay Area and was craving Thai food...are you kidding me?!?!?! The way they prepare their food is amazing. Nothing greasy; vegetables cooked well; yet to have a bad meal (LOVE the leftovers). Not familiar with the area, I had delivery (3-4 times so far). Delivery pricey to Tigard, but WHO CARES! I can never get enough of the "Bloomin' Fish"! Coming from the SF area, I've had panko fried Halibut (hmm), but theirs is AMAZING. Crispy on the outside; tender on the inside (isn't that a KFC phrase). I raved about this place so much that my beloved Oregonian friends (meticulous eaters) decided to try it. We actually went to the restaurant and THEY LOVED IT (shocker). I could go on and on about Thai Bloom (love the fried calamari; tofu; salad rolls; even a plain salad), but we all have our taste-buds loves, but try this place @ least once...guarantee you'll find something you love/like it. P.S. I usually don't ramble this much in reviews. :o)

This place was super good. Good size portions and a nice upscale Thai feel. I love they they had a bunch of non traditional dishes. I tend to get bored with places when they all have the same content on the menu.

Happy hour is great! Their thai iced tea is amazing, second to a thai basil in downtown Portland!

Went during happy hour. We ordered four dishes and only one was decent. They use some weird seasoning on the pad thai and fried wings so it smells and tastes funky. The spinach dip is runny and they use cheap tortilla chips to boot. Bar tender was young and inexperienced. I usually dont write bad reviews but i was pretty disappointed w these guys. Proceed w caution.

Nice clean good restaurant. Some dishes are very good (5 stars) but some are just 2 stars. 5 stars dishes are like Masamarn beef, it takes a long time to cook this and Thai bloom did do the diligent. However, the duck dishes are disappointed, old, overnight, chewy duck on salad and others, to charge a premium price? Some good dishes disappeared - probably take more effort to make so they want to just retain easier, less time consuming and high profit dish. I hope they keep their effort in this instead of expanding so fast and lost the originality. A little pricier for the portion and type of food!

This place is one of my favorite Thai places in Beaverton. My favorite item here is the Tom Yum Noodles, but I order it "dry" so it's not brothy but instead has a concentrated flavor. I also really like the Spicy Basil Chicken as it has the perfect amount of spice, crispy basil leaves, and juicy chicken. The pineapple curry is also quite good but be sure to order something savory along with it as it can be quite sweet on it's own. Don't forget to check in to get their free homemade coconut ice cream. It's refreshing and delicious. There's usually a wait to get seated and the food can take longer than usual to come out as they're usually quite busy. Addition: some other awesome dishes I've tried... - Tom yum soup with prawns - miang kham: great flavorful appetizer - crab fried rice - drunken fish - papaya salad Lao style

Prices were ok if not good. Food was soso.. Curry was not what I expected. Very dry dish. The flavor was pretty good but the consistency of the dish was not. Drinks were good.. Service was really good

Eating at Thai Bloom was a very unusual experience and I have mixed feelings about this experience. First of all, the service was very effective and fast, and the staff very warm and friendly, so that is a plus. We had food to go, I ordered green curry with prawns, because it is one of my favorites, my friend had a yellow curry dish with chicken. The taste was very good, and fresh, the perfect combination of ingredients, except it was on the salty side. Green curry is already spicy on its own, then with some extra salt, it can be a bit overwhelming. My friend's curry was also very salty. So it'd be good if they could use much less salt in the food in general. One thing I was not happy about was the green curry was too liquid, the consistency was more like a soup and the bad part was there was not much food in it, either of veggies nor the shrimp. I was able to find only few shrimp in it and even the bamboo and the eggplants pieces were like invisible, so no much to chew, but lots of liquid. I am putting an extra star only because there was real, fresh baby coconut meat in it, so that was a plus too, on the other hand it was not enough either, so overall it was a an extremely small portion, not even enough for a small kid, and with way too small amount of veggies /shrimp

Excellent food which was unlike Thai I had ever tasted before. They have many unique items and combinations on the menu. This was my first time there but I can't wait to return to try the other options. Service was excellent and the dessert was killer. Thank you for an excellent time experience. Oh and one more thing, they give you warm towels after your meal. Never had that experience before. Awesome!!!

If you're gonna be above the bar, you better bring it. This place has a pretty slick photographer and a pretty ambitious menu which piqued our interest. Location is not superb. It's kind of where businesses go to die in Beaverton. We sat down at an empty table for happy hour. Were not even acknowledged, so we went to get a table at the restaurant. Happy hour got us there, but we never got to experience it. Lame. The restaurant appeared to only have one waiter. He was holding his own pretty well, but some more help never hurt a place. I got the crab pad thai. The pad thai was pretty good, but had a taste of burned garlic that was a little unpleasant. The crab was not very much, or at least not enough to warrant the steep price. Lots of bits of shell too. My wife got the Drunken Noodles. These kept this place from getting 1 star. Great flavor. Now the price point is a little high. I will pay more for location or superior ingredients and product. This place didn't have bad ingredients but it didn't warrant the price tag. And location...if anything they should be charging less for the location. Another super annoying this was there is a major electrical problem because the lights kept flickering. Come on guys. Hire some help. Hire an electrician and bring your prices back down to earth.

Went here for lunch with a couple of coworkers and the place was packed, took about 5 minutes to get seated no big deal. The food was just ok, very lacking in flavor. I had to drown my Drunken Noodles in hot sauce to get more flavor. The service was awful, we constantly had to wave down random servers to ask for items because our waitress was off doing bigger and better things apparently. With all the great food choices around this area I don't think I'll be back to Thai Bloom.

Came in here with the old famdamily after fighting the post christmas crowds at the mall. Craving some thai food, ma suggested this little place. Nice little chow pad. Relatively small but the staff is uber friendly. Could just be that portland vibe going on here. Well bonus points for mom on this one, happy hour food and apps. Cheap and a lot of food ranging for 2-$6. Yes ma'am we will have one of each. And keep the Mai tais flowing. Handcrafted cocktails for under 5$ I'm on board pick me up in an a few hours. Calamari, chicken larb and drunken noodle. Not one to judge but watch out here I go. I judge thai food places by the pad Thai and calamari. Calamari super good. The sauce is what makes it not to chewy but not over cooked. Pad Thai. Great flavor just enough spice that I won't be regretting my choice later this evening (hot in hot out). Pretty surprised at this little place it looks like a little strip mall but the inside is comparable to the fancy smancy places you would take your g-ma to after your graduation party but with much less of the drama and judgement. Gotta go yo last call for happy hour gotta get mah noodle on. Peace out broskis. Headed back to the cali surf tomorrow !!!

This is hands down my favorite Thai restaurant! My girlfriend and I have been coming here since they first opened, and we always choose this if we have a craving for some great Thai food! Great for take out, dinner, and happy hour. The chicken pad thai is fantastic! Also, they have Happy Hour all day on Sunday!!! I highly recommend their spring rolls. The sweet chili sauce that they serve with them is amazing! Writing this review is making me hungry, so I should probably just stop now. In conclusion, it is good!

We live close and occasionally order in or go to the restaurant, but usually go to the bar for happy hour. Ordering in can get pricey with delivery fee. Happy hour is a great deal, as is the lunch menu. Love the curries and drunken noodles, also the salad rolls and kao soi noodles. Service can get a little slow when they are busy, which they usually are. Everyone is very nice and you really can't beat the happy hour prices and portions.

Great QUALITY thai food here....the curry is amazing!!! I came here with a group of friends when most of Portland/Beaverton was closed due to the snow...this place was one of the only places that stayed open! I'm so glad they did. A friend from out of town ordered the pad Thai and said that it was the best she had ever had. We ordered the panang curry with beef, and the beef was so soft and you could tell the curry was quality and not watered down. Great happy hour as well, love the vibe/decor. Definately a great place to go after work for a drink and amazing Thai food!

So incredibly disappointed. I was so excited to get good Thai food, and thought the incredibly high yelp ratings would help me find a nice place. Totally a miss, paid a dollar or two above regular prices for quality, got less than mediocre pad Thai. Not sure if it was an off night, not sure if people give them bonus points for service and/or delivery, but it was not that special. Not even good Thai food. I reserve my final decision until I eat in, but they would have to have an amazing in restaurant experience to negate the sub-par take out I received (Also, It was a mutual feeling of hoo-hum, not a specific bad plate that I received or individual opinion).

Excellent Thai food, great selection, everything was tasty especially swimming rams and pineapple fried rice. Service is awesome but make reservations on Friday Saturday night. Take out is the way to go if you are in a hurry.

My roommate and I had dinner here because she said it's one of the best-tasting Thai food she's had. I happen to agree that this is great Thai food in Beaverton. I tried their crab pad thai and OMG AMAZING! They have plenty of large crab pieces (NOT ARTIFICIAL CRAB) and the overall taste of the dish is just delicious! I wished that it was spicy like how some Thai places make it, but I won't knock them down for that. I also tried their Thai fried rice which we ordered spicy and it was great; the spiciness was perfect! I also recommend their Veggie Spring Rolls because it's so yummy; it comes with this great plum sauce that complements the rolls really well!! We also tried a couple of their drinks (Mai Tai and Peaking Blossom) which was pretty good but maybe a teensy bit pricey for what they are. Check-in on yelp and get complementary coconut ice cream. Their ice cream was delicious and coconuty; we loved it!

PJ D.
The food here is very very good but it is so crazy expensive. I've been here on several occasions and the food has taken forever to come out in the past. They are very accommodating for a big party which is great but there are other good Thai choices in Beaverton that are much more reasonably priced.

I recently went back for some take out! Was wary of doing takeout from a place where i love the food for the fear of spoiling my impression. However, Thai Bloom met my expectations, my drunken noodles and Pad Thai and Yellow curry were as tasty and fresh as I would have had them in the restaurant. But I am going to go back for some soup, which i did not order.

Justin M.
Stopped in at Thai Bloom for lunch. The drunken noodles were very good and a paradise tea washed it down nicely. Checked in on yelp for a free coconut ice cream that was actually really good - much better than I expected. I would rate every part of my experience 4 stars. Service, food, and atmosphere.

The boyfriend and I were originally going to wander around the Pearl District for our weekly date night, but after sitting on 26 East for thirty-five minutes and only having traveled about three miles, we pulled off and went to Thai Bloom hoping to catch the end of their happy hour. I am SO glad we did. We were greeted warmly by the smiling host and encouraged to sit wherever we'd like in the bar area for happy hour. A waitress appeared a moment later who was happy to answer my questions and make recommendations. Our drinks came quickly enough; I had the Pear Blossom which had pear coconut vodka, fresh citrus, and soda over ice in a tall glass. The boyfriend is a thai tea-aholic and couldn't help himself; he had a cocktail that was thai iced tea with vanilla vodka and cinnamon. Both drinks were very good and we were surprised by how strong they were. Happy hour price $5 each. Thai Bloom also has a great selection of beers and wines I believe, but one drink was all I ended up needing. We ordered spring rolls, tom kha gai, tofu pad thai, and the chicken with crispy basil. Each dish came hot and fresh and was obviously prepared with care. The tom kha was some of the best I've had in my life; absolutely rich and creamy with perfectly cooked ingredients and full of flavor. The waitress was happy to bring us a free homemade coconut ice cream after I showed her I had checked in on yelp. Neither the boyfriend nor I really like coconut, and we both found the ice cream heavenly. It was beautifully presented with mint leaves, strawberries, and drizzled in chocolate and peanuts. A lovely end to an incredible and fun meal. The total came to $30; this was AFTER leaving our fantastic waitress a deserving tip. Impeccable service, amazing happy hour food at great prices, good stiff drinks...sure beats PDX traffic, that's all I can say.

Really enjoyed the pad thai and yellow curry, both cooked to a savory and unique perfection. I would have expected more food for $11.95, what the pad thai cost (much more than what seems to be the standard among Thai restaurants of this nature), but the taste was definitely unmatched in other restaurants. The service, however, was consistently slow and the atmosphere was eery and hostile with too many tables and chairs in the room. The two chefs who co-opened this restaurant have a lot of potential to make this a great replacement to Typhoon.

Alison V.
I thought they had good happy hour. I was a fan, and I'd go back if I want Thai food on the west side. There are better places in Portland, but this is a good place for the burbs. I got drunken noodles with tofu, yum. I also got the spring rolls but they weren't my favorite. I'd say check it out for happy hour though.

We have continued to go to Thai Bloom on a regular basis, but today may have been the last time. There were a number of things that were just terrible with today's experience. First, the price has increased 9.5% on the dishes that we usually get. The prices here were already high compared to other local Thai places, so an increase of that much is pretty substantial. The increase seemed to pay for unnecessary new equipment for the restaurant. There's now a large flat panel display when you walk in that shows pictures of some dishes on the menu. Really? Why is that at all necessary? It's distracting. There also seems to be some new POS equipment. When placing the order on the phone, it was odd that they now ask for a last name. It's not a big deal, of course, but it almost seemed like they were tracking us. I'm guessing their new system is part of the reason for this. Most importantly, the food was terrible today. Not just bad as compared to what we're used to, but just bad. I ordered my dish medium and the boyfriend ordered his very spicy. His had almost no spice to it and mine was on the hot end of spicy. It's possible they just confused the two, but even if that was the case it would have been wrong. More importantly, though, it was cooked poorly. The vegetables were almost raw and the chicken was inedible. Seriously, this was the first time I could think of that I actually wasn't willing to eat the chicken in my Thai dish. I know I'm a little picky about chicken, but the boyfriend took it and even commented that it was "almost jerky." I can drive into town and pick up food from Monsoon that is much more consistent in quality (not perfect, but much better) and still pay less even when you factor in the gas. I almost called to get my money back. Handing out a two-star review may be generous.

I ordered pineapple fried rice from Thai Bloom to be delivered. It came a little earlier than they said (45 minutes rather than an hour), but it would have been well worth the wait of the hour. The gentleman at the restaurant was a real pro at taking the order, and the delivery person was extremely polite and solicitous. Even though in plastic clam-shell serving container, the presentation was very attractive, and the food was perfectly warm. Wish you could have been here when I opened the clam-shell server to smell the lovely scent of Thai basil wafting out, and the taste, wow the taste. Wonderful combination of a little heat, a little sweet from the pineapple, and some crunch and depth from onions. The rice was gorgeous, perfectly done, as was the added egg scrambled in. I'll have to go to the restaurant some time, but for now the delivery end of the business does a fine job with some very delicious food. You're sure to be turned into a fan if you eat there at the restaurant or order food to be delivered.

I give Thai bloom one star because the food was at least good! The reason why it only gets one star is because the service was horrible. On my birthday I chose to do take out. I called my order in and was told it would be about 25 min. When I got there I was told it would be another 5 min. Which was fine. 5 min goes by, 10 min goes by, 15 min goes by and was told it should be up shortly. I waited for my order for 50 min!!! And not only that they didn't even have my order correct. I really want to like this place and I know it was busy but there should have been no excuse for getting my order wrong and having to wait almost an hour for my order!! Never going back!

Shirley L.
Another great experience at Thai Bloom!. Updated happy hour menu since our last visit (and updated price). We tried several new (to us) dishes including spicy wings (super crispy and packed some heat) and coconut ice cream (which lived up all the hype!). As always, the service is great especially this time we have an active baby with us. However, the price is no longer attractive for the portion AND tastes, therefore a drop in rating for us. I would go back because how baby friendly it is.

We went tonight for the first time.. Based on a recommendation.. Just for a little background.. Thai food is part of my regular diet and I've eaten at a lot if different Thai restaurants and carts.. Pros: we were seated quickly, everyone was extremely nice and service was rather quick for a busy Friday evening. The good seemed to be good quality, fresh and warm. Cons: I don't believe their chef is Thai, they try to be upscale and are likely trying to take the old Typhoon crowd; however some concepts fell short. Pot Stickers (golden sacks) were delicious Panang Curry had too much coconut milk but was flavorful BBQ pork entree was atrocious, it was Chinese BBQ pork that was cooked and then battered, then deep fried and then covered in a chili sauce.. It was terribly dry as you could imagine. Ginger Orange Chicken - the orange tasted fresh but there was so much ginger it stung like wasabi Pineapple fried rice was the biggest disappointment.. It had a lot of curry and not much other flavor to it.. Nothing compared to the fried rice at other local establishments. The prices were a little high even for the quality.. Most places that charge $12 for pineapple fried rice include vegetables, chicken and shrimp.. Not either vegetables or chicken and $2 more for shrimp. I probably won't return.. There is much better Thai in the area.. ( Peppertree Thai and Thai Cabin)

3.5 stars For all those fans of Typhoon, Rejoice! Thai Bloom is your answer. Rumor has it, the chefs from the old restaurants collaborated together to open Thai Bloom after the closings of Typhoon. The Tom Kha was good, rich, a spicy, flavorful, and full of fresh veggies. The broth is a bit richer than I would like it to be, I prefer the version at Thailand restaurant a bit better, but overall still very tasty. The crab pad thai was a bit too sweet for me, it overpowered the crab flavor. But I am in LOVE with the spicy chicken wings. They are extra crispy and stay nice and hot. We waited about 10 minutes after the wings were set on the table before we dug in, and the wings were still piping hot. They are also covered in a tangy sweet, tangy, sticky, spicy sauce. Thai bloom also has a nice selection of hot teas, I really enjoyed the ginger peach tea, fragrant and fruity without being too tart.

After living with a server who worked at a well known thai restaurant downtown I got spoiled on great thai food. After moving I tried finding a place similar in the area, this isn't it. Salad rolls fell apart and we're mostly vermicelli noodles(no salad in the salad rolls) pumpkin curry was on the bland side, tom kha soup base was too thick and lacked the bright, lemongrass flavor that makes it amazing. Plus everything is, IMO overpriced. The only thing that stood out was their plain white rice, it was cooked perfectly.

SO GOOD. Like so good. I don't even know what to say. Used Yelp to find a place to eat while in town and was not disappointed. Staff was very friendly and quick, the food was amazing and we ordered a TON of food and spent significantly less than we would at home (Seattle).

First of all, YAY for having an online menu! My experience up here in Oregon is that most restaurants do not put their menus online. Seems silly when it's a Chinese or Thai or other place that you might typically like to order take-out from. Second, the most genuine host (I'm guessing owner?) I've ever met. Even though I had to wait about 10 minutes for my to-go order, it was a pleasure watching him do his thing. Gracious man. The woman who brought out our food from the kitchen had the same beaming smile. I left in a happy space. Third, some of the food was spectacular (some not)...but it left me realizing that once you find your go-to dishes, this place will be 5-star heaven. Basically, it was the appetizers that WOWed us and the entrees that were just so-so: -Curry Puffs (special winter appetizer)--I wanted MORE! Unique and delicious. -Prawn salad rolls with 2 dipping sauces--Very good (though I do wish the prawns were larger/more prominent) -Pork & Ginger Potstickers--Very good -Tofu Pad Thai--my daughter's go-to Thai dish and she didn't like it too much -BBQ with Egg Noodles--It was decent. Had quite a big spice kick in some bites! Parting thought: I'd definitely choose to go back here. The menu is large and given how good the appetizers were, I know there will be a few entrees that impress us just as much. This was a good find.

We love good Thai and what Ive noticed is that each place seems to have certain strengths and weaknesses. So far, after 2 visits everything here has been good. One HUGE key to my satisfaction in any Thai restaurant is their salad rolls....If they are wonderful, it really sets the tone for me. We avoid TOFU due to the fact that if it isn't organic tofu (which Im waiting for restraints to use organic tofu pleeeeeze), its definitely GMO. Lastnight we asked for the salad roles without the tofu and they made them separately for us. This being said, they won't do that if its busy but it was sure nice not having to pick it out. Their curry is fantastic, and the pad thai is wonderful. Nice service and for us, we haven't had long waits both times we've been in. I think this one might be our fave so far.

Anusha M.
I went there when it first opened and I remember the food being fantastic. This time was not as good. The savior was the salad rolls. So fresh and the peanut sauce that comes with it is just yumm. My crab fried rice was disappointing. Not much flavors and crab pieces still had some soft shell. On the other hand, my husband's basil fried rice had too much flavor going on. I think they overdid the sauces. Even the color was much darker than at other restaurants like it was dripping in soy sauce or something. We got the free coconut ice cream. Which was decent. I use a lot of coconut milk in my cooking. So when I tasted it, I kind of felt like it was frozen store bought coconut cream with sugar. But I think I am still going back to give Thai Bloom one last try. EDIT: I am changing it from 3 stars to 1 because I just checked my credit card statement and I had left a 15% tip but they have unethically changed it to 20% instead.

30 minutes sitting at the table before getting our drinks. 45 minutes to get food. 20 minutes to wait for our check. That's a lot if math. I don't even want to add it up. Bottom line is bad service. Mediocre food. And oh yeah. Sent back the ahi tuna cause it was soggy and cold. Never again.

I was introduced to this place by a couple of friends and loved it. Unfortunately the second time I went it was not very good. Our food took about an hour to get to the table; meanwhile people around us got their food in a timely manner. My friend's rice had a hair on it and struggled to get a server's attention to replace the bowl of rice. He asked where the hair was, saw it and brought a new bowl of rice and never apologized. Our original server came by and appeared to be sarcastic when asking if our food was "hair free." She then went on giving too much information about her personal life when finished our meal. Normally we are very understanding and give the benefit of the doubt since we've all worked food service before, but we were getting such negativity from the staff. Less than an hour after leaving the restaurant I had really bad stomach pains and my other friends had a bad case of the runs. The first time I went here it was amazing. This time it was horrible, and I really hope it was just a fluke.

Delicious, high quality food that is unfortunately also very expensive for Thai. I haven't been to happy hour but the deals for that look good. I don't know how small those portions are though. The service here is good and it's a nice building but I'd only go here for a special occasion where I don't mind spending $14 for pad thai.

Wait Staff is freindly inviting and just Great!!! Had car at Nissan, yelped you guys......I agree with orhers, great place for lunch, will be back for dinner!!!!

Oh my God how long does it take to stir fry some noodles. Don't go when it is busy. the food is good but it will take 45minutes to get 1plate of noodles and then we were asked to move because a large party. We then asked what are food was going to come and he said it was going to be next in line. At that point we left

I have no idea what has happened here. We loved a last minute Thai Bloom run in-between clients. Everything used to be so fresh, so yummy, and never left me feeling icky. The last two times we have gone we have left very disappointed. Dry pad thai? that shouldn't be a thing. No more pork belly? Drunken noodles that left me feeling just a little bit off. I used to love this place for its very detailed menu about gluten etc and now I don't know what to think. Hopefully they work out some of these issues because it used to be the best thai food in Beaverton.

I had the Tom Kha Soup with tofu and Drunken Noodles with tofu. I checked in with Yelp and received Coconut Ice cream. They were delicious. Presentation was top notch.

Excellent food! The pineapple curry is delicious!! We were treated to a scoop of their handmade coconut ice cream, thanks to checking in with yelp!! I had trouble deciding on which plate to order for lunch, so I will have to come back soon to try the other good eats on their menu!

Pad thai was great and the pineapple fried rice was delicious. The wait staff was excellent.

This place has everything I've been looking for....Thai food, relatively near home, well-priced, and excellent, friendly service. Bonus: all day Happy Hour on Sunday (score!) with treats like $2.95 micros, appetizers and small plates up to $4.95, fun specialty cocktails under $5.00. And yet, it's a 3-star for me. I had chicken pad thai and spring rolls. Both were...fine. A-ok. But very little flavor, spice, anything else going on. I like my Thai (and anything else, really) on the mild side. Pad Thai isn't known to be particularly spicy, in fact it's often not at all. But that sweet, rich sauce I usually love just had no real flavor at all. And that's too bad, because it was a perfect portion, nicely cooked noodles, delicious chicken - and I just wanted salt, sriracha, soy, something. Same with the spring rolls. They were a bit dry and while they did come with a dipping sauce that added some honey-like sweetness, there was no seasoning, chili, anything else to it. What it comes down to is I just wanted something to grab my attention and nothing did. HH prices are reasonable, as is lunch. Dinner prices are a bit high for the area but not out of the question at all for quality Thai. I'll be back to try some curries, as I've heard a lot of good things about Thai Bloom and it certainly has the Yelp cred to back it up....I just can't get past 3 stars at this point.

Seriously?!? Why does it take a fucking hour for our food to arrive at our table? I could have sworn that I didn't order delivery. Screw this place. The food is good, but it doesn't make up for the shitty service.

Best Thai food around these neck of the woods. Enjoyed my experience there even when it gets really busy, the staff are friendly, courteous and welcoming. Very well run. My go to dishes are the Tom Ka soup, salad rolls and chicken skewers. Presentation of the dishes are well done and the quality of the ingredients can be tasted. Big fan.

Went here for happy hour, we had dancing shrimp, chicken satay, and the potstickers, all of which were flavorful and delicious at a low price. We also had a couple cocktails which were strong and made to perfection! Low prices great atmosphere amazing service!

Woo HOO Typhoon rises like a phoenix from the ashes....recreated as Thai Bloom, with all of the great food, talented chefs, lovely service, and none of the managerial drama. Excellent curries and tom gha soup. So so so so happy to find a great restaurant in Beaverton - it's been a challenge since we moved here from NE PDX a couple of years ago. Now I have my new fave Thai place close to home (happy sigh).

We stopped in at Thai Bloom while we were in town looking for a new home a few weeks ago. The place was busy but were seated within 15 minutes. We were excited to try the food due to the great ratings on yelp. Unfortunately that was not our experience. Once seated the waitress brought us water and came back for our order. We ordered our drinks, appetizer and entree all at once. The drinks came quickly... then we waited and waited and after about 15 minutes our appetizers arrived - they were mediocre at best. The folks that came in after us at this point had received all of their food. Then the wait was on for our entree (noodle dish).... and we waited and waited and oh look our waitress. She filled up our water and said the food was on its way. Then more waiting for another 10 minutes. We asked the bus boy about our meal to which his response was "out of my pay grade" (seriously??). Then a guy stopped by our table (man in charge obviously) and proceeded to tell us about a large party that just arrived and asked us if we would mind moving tables. We were baffled at this point, so we said sure if you can kindly bring us our dinner. He went to check our meal and proceeded to tell us it was next up. That is when we left the establishment. It may be a one off but it was an incredibly disappointing experience and the staff did absolutely nothing to make the situation better... that is the most disappointing part. .

I've tried many great, authentic restaurants and this one is pretty good. It has great rice dishes, but the noodle dishes (drunken noodle and pad thai) we tried were burned and not very good. The fried rice and curry options were all awesome. They also have great desserts. The Coconut sticky rice with mango was amazing!

LOVE LOVE LOVE! The happy hour is amazing! It happens from 4-6 and everything on the happy hour menu is UNDER $5.99, yes it is an amazing deal, and the food is just as delicious as the non-happy hour food. I love the decorating in this place, it is very modern and it is open and airy. The staff is wonderful, and is willing to meet your every need! When i found out the owners of my old favorite Typhoon had opened this place, i knew I had to go! You will not be disappointed. If you do not go during happy hour the prices are still great, and the portions are quite large! I have never had a bad experience here

Consistently the best value, quality, freshness, service of anywhere in the metro area. Easily my favorite spot in Beaverton. Been eating here for years and they only improve with each visit. We dine outdoors with our dog in the summer. Amazing happy hour. The people are great. I rarely write reviews but Thai bloom deserves more 5 stars.

Joseph K.
Great portions and amazing drink prices for happy hour. Haven't checked out the normal lunch or dinner, but if the flavors are the same then i'm sure it's on point! Check-in using your yelp app to get a free hand made coconut ice cream.

I used to drive by the former Thai place that resided here - Thai Derm - and could never bring myself to try it. The name alone was...weird..but the reviews about bad service said NO. However, my co-worker insisted the new place was absolutely great and I should try it. Okay, I give. This place is good. Just walking in the door, you're probably feeling pretty good because it's laid out and decorated beautifully. It's also very open with large windows for nice lighting. The menu is huge. I'm a stickler for two Thai dishes: Pad Thai & Yellow Curry. My first go round I got the yellow curry. It was delicious - creamy, well spiced and fresh ingredients for sure. However, one of my dining companions got the Tom Yum noodles (which I had never heard of) and I was dish jealous immediately. I also got the Thai Iced Tea and it's made right. My second go round I was ready to order before I walked in the door...but my will was almost insta-weakened by the fall offering of Crab Pad Thai. Resolve won out and I got the Tom Yum Noodles. To describe this dish...well, heck let me describe it! Ground beef, BBQ pork, prawn dumpling & shrimp in a soup base with noodles. Hol-y crap. That is GOOD. The soup flavor is spiced just right & all the meats are great. Thankfully my co-worker got the crab Pad Thai so we traded a few tastes - OMG. That was good too! Service is polite and great. They're clearly working hard to please their clientele and are very enthusiastic as well. I overheard that the chef came from Typhoon! Unlike other reviewer, I won't hold that against them because the food is good, the restaurant is pleasant and I will be back. And back again.

Ordered the Pad See Ew today... disappointed. Greasy and tasted as if the food was cooked in a dirty pan, like cooked a different dish in the pan previously, didn't thorough wash prior to cooking my meal. Kind of a reused oil taste. Or maybe a little burnt taste... not pleased. The salad rolls were 5 stars though... but not enough to keep me going back. On the look out for a new Thai place.

Katie K.
My husband and I both eat gluten free and love how easy it is to do so at Thai Bloom. The food is consistently delicious whether it's parang curry, spicy basil chicken or a noodle dish. I have such a hard time deciding if I should go with what I had the one before or try something new since it's all so delicious. It's often very busy around 6pm so be prepared to wait.
(5)
Scott C.
Always a great spot for fresh, delicious Thai. No matter what you order, from the curry's to Pad Thai, to desert it's all good. Tonight we took advantage of the Sunday happy hour and as always, fantastic! This place is truly one of the best restaurants in Beaverton.

April D.
The restaurant was well decorated, but too warm and it really did smell like shrimp. The shrimp smell is my biggest complaint. We ordered the appetizer plate, which was really good. We also had the pad Thai and chicken yellow curry. I've definitely had better pad Thai, but the curry was amazing. Portions are a little small for the price. Staff was nice, but it truly bothers me when chop sticks aren't served with the food.

Alan B.
This place has a great happy hour and delicious Thai food! I really enjoy the larb, tom yum soup, eggplant stir fry, and pineapple fried rice ( I love to substitute brown rice in the pineapple fried rice). The cream cheese seafood wontons are DELISH! There are two sides to the restaurant--the lounge (which serves happy hour and has a flat screen and is louder and more casual) and the restaurant dining room (which does not serve happy hour, but is quieter and more formal with red cloth napkins and hot towels).

I used to go to Thai Derm, which was at this location.. We went as a group. We ordered different items, these are the items that I tried: Chicken Fried Rice (default spice level, which I expect to be medium spicy) wasn't spicy at all... very ordinary taste. Ginger Chicken (which has 2 spice levels next to it): Ordered it as medium spicy: not spicy, and not tasty as well. Cashew Chicken: I expected this to ordinary, but this was the best item over there. On a different visit, tried the same item with Cashew Tofu & vegetables: Pretty good with tofu pieces nice, soft & tasty (ordered it spicy and was the right spice level). Veggie Spring Rolls appetizer: pretty good (their peanut sauce that came with Combination appetizer was pretty good, like many Thai restaurants) Hoi Joh appetizer: This was decent to good as well. The veggie dish: Buddhas Delight was not good (as per the veggie person in the group). Thai iced tea was good. Decent service. For this restaurant, looks like Spicy spice level is same as Medium spice at other Thai restaurants. Everything that I order here is ordered Spicy. With so many thai restaurants, I would prefer going else where.

I never thought I would find a place better than E-San. The presentation for the food is exquisite.we ordered the drunken noodles and the crab pad Thai ...amazing flavor in both dishes . The salad rolls were good and finally I would like to add the cream cheese crab wonton since I love appetizers this one was my favorite . The service was excellent ...basically they are friendly and on top of there work ...thank you Thai Bloom and I will be coming back again...

Have been to Thai Bloom twice and both times the food was excellent (duck curry is especially good, wonderful mix of spicy savory flavor with a fruity sweetness that compliments it very well). The table staff is good overall as well; however, both times the reception process has been less well-organized. Host/hostess could not remember who we were less than a minute after taking our names; called for reservations on our second visit and requested a table in the dining room (not the bar). Arrived at the scheduled time and still had to wait twenty minutes - before being escorted to a table in the bar which we declined and waited another ten minutes for a table in the dining room. Overall, good restaurant but frustrating up to the point where you get seated in my experience. Also would be a good idea for them to mark the side entrance (at the bar) as just that - and direct people to the main entrance (which is paradoxically located on the side of the restaurant from the main street.

I recently moved up to Oregon. My boyfriend and I spent the day in Beaverton and decided to end our day at Thai Bloom! because of all the Yelp reviews. We started our dinner with each a glass of their delicious Thai iced tea and soup as an appetizer, I had a cup of Tofu and Veggie Soup which I found to be a little plain, but the veggies ad tofu were good. My boyfriend had the Tom Kha, he really enjoyed it. For the main dish I had the Pad See Ew, it was really good, the noodles were perfectly cooked, the veggies and the tofu were done well, the sauce combined everything nicely although it could have been a little spicier. My boyfriend had the Crab Pad Thai and he kept going on about it. We ended our evening with my boyfriend getting the Fried Banana and I got the Homemade Coconut Ice Cream. Both desserts were delicious! I cant wait to go back and try their other dishes and desserts!

I went to this restaurant last night for Valentine's dinner. It was my first time going in and didn't think to make reservations. The place was packed but we were seated within about 30 minutes, and were offered drinks during our wait. Once seated our server was very attentive and quickly took our drink and food orders. The food was good. We ordered Tom kha soup, papaya salad and eggplant stir fry. No complaints on any item. Our water glasses were never empty and we were even given chocolate covered strawberries as a valentines treat. price was good for a 3 course meal, would definitely go back!

Tina K.
Can't go wrong with Thai Bloom! Impeccable flavors in every dish we ordered: Massuman Beef Curry, Swimming Rama, Cashew Chicken, & Tom Yum. Delicious! Sit away from windows - corner window table quite chilly! Lastly, and most important to me, TONS of gluten free options!!!!
(4)
Cathy C.
I have eaten here two times. I tried their Drunken noodles, Basil Fried Rice and assorted appetizers. So far I have not had anything really exceptional. I might try them again, but their lunch menu is more expensive than other Thai restaurants that are closer to my work and the food has just been average. If you are on the west side of Beaverton try Zab or Thai 5.
(3)
Amanda N.
Really great food, always fresh and hot, and the presentation is beautiful. Awesome veggie and gluten free options. One thing I would say is that the atmosphere is fancier than most Thai places around and there is usually a wait for dining in. If you go at peak time don't plan on eating within the hour, but the food is completely worth the wait!

Delisa C.

Came here a few months back and enjoyed the food. Thought the prices were a little high. On my husbands birthday this week I said, Hey honey you want to go out to eat tonight. He says sure. I say where do you want to go? How about that Thai place. I immediately know which Thai place. We went around 5:00 pm. The middle of happy hour. We were seated in the dining area. I asked the waitress if we could see the happy hour menu and order a few things while we were waiting for our daughter to join us in about 1/2 hour. She proceeds to tell me that we can't order off the happy hour menu unless we are sitting on the other side in the bar. Really? So we get up and walk over to the bar area. Kind of ridiculous to me, but ok. The bar was packed and it was a Wednesday. I was surprised but now I know why. The have a big happy hour menu with great prices. The food was even more delicious because the prices were great. We ended up making our meal for four of us out of several happy hour menu items, which we originally hadn't planned on doing. We were just going to get a couple of things while waiting for our daughter. ( One of our other daughters was already with us) We ordered: 2 cups of Tom Kha soup ( some of the best I have had) Drunken noodles Papaya salad Spring rolls Chicken larb salad 2 orders of edamame Chicken wings Cream cheese crab puff thingys Lightly dusted fried calamari 1 beer 1 raspberry lemon drop Also, they gave my hubby ice cream with strawberries and mint for free for his birthday. That was a nice touch. Anyways, total bill just under $50. Pretty good deal to feed 4 for dinner and we took home a little leftovers. The food was really fresh and delicious. We will definitely go back during happy hour which is from 4-6 during the week, but all day 12 - 9 on Sundays.

We had Thai Bloom take out last night for dinner and after eating a lot of subpar Thai lately this was a breath of fresh air. We had salad rolls which where absolutely great and then I had the Pineapple Curry extra spicy which was delicious. I have only once in my life had Thai Food that was spicy enough for me and so I added a ton of chili sauce that the server was nice enough to throw in for free and it was just perfect. My boyfriend says it was insanely hot the way it came so maybe Im crazy. His oder of Pad Thai was absolutely the best hes had in about a year. I know because I think its really fun to always taste whatever hes eating :) Anyways Thai Bloom is our new take out spot for sure!

Victoria T.
My group and I arrived there pretty close to closing time but they graciously stayed open for us. I started out with a pot of the Japanese cherry blossom tea, which was light and refreshing, a perfect spring time tea. Next time I go in I'll have to ask where they get the tea from. For dinner my husband and I split an order of the ginger orange chicken. The serving was large enough for the two of us and came with rice and steamed broccoli. The chicken itself was crispy coated but moist on the inside. The sauce was tangy with just a bit of a kick, definitely puts Panda Express to shame. Overall the food was delicious and the price, around $13 for the chicken and just a few bucks for the pot of tea, was fair for what we got. The waitress that helped us was wonderful, she even double checked that the food we ordered did not contain an ingredient I'm deathly allergic to. I will definitely be returning and I'll recommend it to my friends.

Finally got around to trying Thai Bloom. I used to come here when it was the previous restaurant, Thai Derm, and loved them. Sad to see the dining room change but it is a nice remodel. Food is great! And you should definitely try the handmade coconut ice cream!

I am so excited about this new restaurant. The food was fantastic and the bartender makes great drinks. From what I undertand they have the same chef as the former Typhoon that was in the round. You should definitely check it out.

Great take-out option. The restaurant itself is large and they have a nice bar. They offer to make tofu dishes with fried or fresh tofu. Favorites: panang curry with fresh tofu, pork potstickers, green papaya salad, and tom yum noodles.

We have lived in Beaverton for two years now and have finally landed a Thai place to order from! Excellent and fresh food & the service was extraordinary. The restaurant ambiance was relaxing with plates and cloth napkins already on the table. I can't say enough good about this place. With reasonable prices to boot.

WOW, wish I could say enough said but I have to add the extra emphasis on the food here. The menu is delicious, the environment is amazing. I could bring a date here, or hang in the bar and have few drinks while watching football. I had the drunken noodles, I'd recommend them. They got it perfect. If I had to improve one thing it would be more Thai decorations.

Jon E.
We ate there last night for the first time, and will definitely be back. Four of us went and we ordered Pad See Ewe with tofu, BBQ Pork with Egg Noodles, Pad Ped Beef with Green Peppercorn & Swimming Rama. All the dishes were great, vegetable were fresh and crispy (vs. obviously frozen, like many other places). My favorites were the BBQ pork and Pad Ped beef, although the other three in our group found the beef a bit too spicy. The waiter was courteous and professional, even though they seemed to be short staffed. The kitchen also seemed to be backed up as it took 20-30 minutes for main dishes to be served. Restrooms are clean! (My theory is, dirty restrooms equal scary kitchens). Overall rating would have been five stars, if not for longer than normal wait.

I have been to Thai Bloom a few times now and have not been disappointed! I have tried a few of the traditional dishes as well as a few new things and it is all very good! Service has been fast and helpful! I will continue to bring my friends and family. Also a great place to order "to go" as they are always quick to have my meal ready.

Yesterday had a late lunch at Thai Bloom... The new owners did a nice reno, restaurant is clean and tidy. We were promptly greeted and seated, throughout the meal had several servers check on us, they were all attentive, friendly and warm! The food was tasty and flavorful, veggies very fresh and entrees priced well for large portions. There really isn't anything more I could have asked! I will be back soon! Thanks for the terrific meal!

Went to Thai Bloom today with friends for lunch and it was delish!! This is the reincarnation of Typhoon which I loved! They have re-done the interior and it is MUCH nicer. Service was great (big step up from when it was Thai derm) and the food was great -- big portions. Looking forward to going to their happy hour.

We went to Thai Bloom because we were looking to find a place like Typhoon's that "is no longer in business". Thai Bloom had excellent food and pretty good service....kind of faraway from Vancouver, WA for just a regular dinner - but we will try and get back there for some other special occasion. We miss Typhoon's warmth and closeby location! They did not serve rice with any entree...it must be ordered separately...so if you order a fish dish - this is all you will get...so be sure to order rice or some other side dish.

The papaya salad is the main reason to come. It's a great way to start the meal. The drinks are okay and I've had some pretty decent dishes. The roasted duck is pretty much Peking duck, the crab fried rice is pretty good.

Went here for HH on Sunday. They have HH all day Sunday :) We had the drunking noodles, spicy wings, chicken larb, papaya salad and tom yum soup. The portions was huge for HH. The prices was great. Unfortunately the service was slow but we got our food hot so thats a plus for me. Please don't change your HH menu ever!

OK deco... You won't find a cockroach in your plate. Service is relatively friendly. But food (food is after all what we were for) is basically mediocre to awful. If you just can't do anything else and happen to have passed the door already: Avoid the papaya salad at all cost and remember that crispy means fried (duck, rolls, and everything else (almost).

Peter F.
Yes, the food is good. But, as a restaurant, this place fails miserably. Every time I walk in the door, the guy at the front (there's only ever one person there) is always on the phone taking a to go order. I feel like my business is unimportant from the first moment, and it never gets any better. They just seem indifferent to their customers. No greeting, no smiles, no chit chat, just here's your table (eventually). Now I know why everybody just gets food to go. Tonight, we were treated to a young hipster-goth lesbian couple with more metal in their faces than in the tableware, who were watching Youtube videos on their phone! At their table! With the volume turned up loud, and laughing loudly! When we complained, nothing was done. We gave up, and got our food to go. If you want decent Thai food (not excellent, just good) to go at a decent price, call in your order. If you want a DINING experience, forget it, you won't find it here.

The best Thai food I have ever had! The chef from typhoons is now creating delights at Thai bloom. Food was fresh, colorful, fragrant and absolutely delicious. Flavored perfectly balanced an complex. Loved the salad rolls and pumpkin curry. The eggplant was great. Try this place. You won't be disappointed.

Sara W.
Great place for a nice dinner of some delicious Thai food. This place can definitely get crowded quickly. Came here on a Friday at around 5:45 and by the time we left there was a long wait by the door. But they also offer carry out and delivery. This time around had the salad rolls as an appetizer. Really good! And then for dinner I had their green curry with chicken. Their portions are definitely generous! Plenty of food for two meals. My mom had some eggplant dish with ground chicken that was good as well. Highly recommend if you enjoy Thai food.

Wendy G.
I want to say that I think they were having an off night, but it was bad. We never even got food after being there for an hour. We came in on a Sunday evening and stood there for 5 minutes before we were even acknowledged. We should have taken the hint and left then. We were finally seated and it was 10 minutes before the waitress came by to take our drink order - we ordered our food at the same time. After 30 minutes we politely asked our waitress about when we could expect to be served and she explained they had been rushed in the bar with their happy hour so they were behind... ok. The tables around us had obviously been there for much longer and still didn't have their food - all were grumbling and looking unhappy. Finally, 45 minutes after ordering, an hour after we arrived, we just left. We were starving and could not wait any longer, so we settled for sandwiches from Subway. Big disappointment.

Visiting family and came here for dinner. I had not had Thai in ages and was excited to try the raved about food and chefs. I had Larb salad with prawns and was not disappointed. The dressing kinda sneaked up on me in a good way! Our party shared Chicken Satay which was SO MOIST and tender and salad rolls, very good and refreshing. Crying Tiger steak appetizer was perfectly cooked and the dipping sauce was great! We also shared the Tom Yum with tofu. Wonderfully spiced and delicious. My family told me the history of the site and chefs. Give this one a try, the Ha[ppy Hour menu is very good looking by the way.

I finally stopped in to Thai Bloom! tonight and boy, am I glad I did. I've been searching for a good Thai restaurant that understands gluten-free dining since Typhoon! closed and they do. I got salad rolls and pineapple curry (to-go) and both were delicious. The pineapple curry was perfectly spicy and full of tender chicken, pineapple and rambutan (the hostess told me it was similar to a lychee and she was right). Also, the decor and cleanliness of the restaurant has greatly improved since it was Thai Derm. This is my new go-to Thai restaurant.

My girlfriend and I tried the Thai Bloom after being referred there by about ten people at my work across the street. The food is absolutely amazing!! We split the Drunken Noodles and Pot Stickers. The food comes out on fancy plates and the presentation of it all was amazing!! The service was great and prompt! I think it was even the owner who came out and asked how everything was which we really appreciated! I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking out delicious Thai food. I am going back tonight with my other friends more!!!!

After being mostly disappointed by Portland's Thai offerings so far, my best friend did a quick yelp search while we were out in Beaverton and we decided to check this place out on a whim. We arrived at the start of happy hour, and elected to sit in the bar to get the special menu. Our waiter was really nice, and the atmosphere was relaxed in the bar. All of the food we tried far exceeded our expectations. My barometer for Thai restaurants is always the pad thai -- this one brought me back to the first time I tried the dish - just the right amount of bean sprouts (both cooked in and fresh on top), there were no fillers (shaved carrots), and the sauce wasn't overly sweet. It was just damn good pad thai. We also tried the spring rolls, which were light and flaky, perfect with the dipping sauce. The shining star in my opinion was the tom kha soup. The milky citrusy base was filled with mushrooms, cauliflower, broccoli and other veggies. It was the first time I've seen it done that way and it WORKED. This place is our new go-to Thai place. (Did I mention the happy hour specials were CHEAP?)

Serviced by Nick: Fantastic! He's attentive, friendly, and just wonderful. Food: 5+ stars. Secret menu - papaya salad - Lao style. Very spicy but very good. Not on the secret menu but just as good: the Tom Yum Soup, Seafood Delight and Crab Pad Thai are just great! Dessert: fried banana ala mode...very delish! Overall: great food, great service, decent pricing. Will definitely be back!

Sorry, Thai Bloom, but Siam Lotus has you beat, on every level, and it's only a stone's throw away, so.....we won't be back to Thai Bloom. Seriously .... no clue why this place has 500 reviews. For training purposes at Thai Bloom, here's the scoop: your "Salad Rolls" have no salad in them. One shrimp, one tiny lettuce leaf and 95% rice noodles does not constitute a salad roll. Next: the pineapple fried rice should have more than 3 shrimp. The fried rice, in general, is not great. Check out the restaurant Pho Tango off of Cornelius Pass for the right way to do fried rice (with the right proportions of ingredients). Next: chicken is flat, old and tough. Not good. Again, Siam Lotus has amazingly juicy chicken in all the dishes. I could keep going .... but the bottom line is, this place is too expensive for the lack of fresh ingredients.

Great happy hour food!! Great prices for a large variety of their popular dishes. I went here with a few of my friends and we got a little bit of everything. Papaya salad: Flavorful and tasty portion is generous. Nice and spicy just the way l like it. Tom Yum soup: got a cup full of tofu and veggies. They are quite generous most places would give you more watered down version. Pad Kee Mao(Drunken Noodles): Generous portion, delicious and tasty. Filling meal for one or great to share. Drinks were tasty and well made they definitely don't skimp on the liquor. Overall a great place to hang out and grab happy hour food. I would definitely come back again to try more dishes.

my favorite restaurant, great food, good service. cashew chicken, salad roles, green curry all good going to have to investigate the secret menu
Come for the happy hour! They have a great selection of food and drinks for a happy hour menu and the prices are very reasonable for what you get. I liked the chicken pad thai, but thought it could've had a little more flavor. The drunken noodles were also pretty good, but I've definitely had better. I also tried the calamari, which I thought was really good. I like my calamari crispy rather than chewy and that's how it is here. Their seating area for happy hour is on the side of the restaurant with the bar. There's probably ~15 or more tables that are meant for 2 people, but they can easily arrange the tables to accommodate larger parties. My group had about 10 people and the staff was really helpful in making sure we could all seat together. You can also choose to sit at the bar if you want to. If you're a yelper, make sure to check in for your free coconut ice cream! I personally hate coconut flavored things so I thought the ice cream was horrible. However, most of the people in my group thought it was super delicious. Can't go wrong with a free yelp deal!

Decent food, the service is amazing and the happy hour menu is good. We ordered fried calamari, chicken larb salad, papaya salad, pad tai with chicken, chicken satay, few drinks. All choices that we had were decent, the staff are very friendly, helpful and attentive. Bill came up to a decent price. It is a decent Thai restaurant for Beaverton area. Still nothing to top it off with any restaurant in San Francisco but I will return. One of the staff came up and helped me with my car because it needed a jump. So I thank him for that, what a nice man!

Go for their regular, Late night, or Sunday Happy Hour. The apps and entrees run from $2.99 to $6.99 per dish. They have a regular dining room and the bar/lounge area. Ask to sit in the lounge. Happy Hour food is only served there. It's a good thing because I found the lounge area to be more open and cheerful. My teenage daughter was able to dine there. She loved the Thai Fried Rice and I thought the Drunken noodles were really good. I've had Panang Curry and Pinapple Fried Rice delivered. They were both good too, but it can get pricy with the added delivery costs in addition to their higher normal entree prices. Still...looking forward to coming back for Happy hour instead for a discount. Oh yeah, check in on Yelp app for a free coconut ice cream dessert. It was good.

This is a pretty bittersweet review. My family and friends just left the restaurant after what we'd hoped would be a really nice dinner. And I'm happy to report that, in terms of the contents of the food, the quality of drinks, and the tastiness of the appetizers, everything was great. They were even able to take same-day reservations for a party of six. But the service was horrible. And again, it's not like they were cruel, or rude, it was just too damn busy. They had too many customers, and clearly not enough staff. Not enough waiters on the floor, and definitely not enough bartenders or cooks. As an example, it took an hour to get a glass of wine. After three requests. Our appetizers came out swiftly at the beginning of the meal. They were excellent. Again, I can't emphasize enough: the food was fantastic. But then it was over an hour until dinner showed up. Thank Christ we had good company & conversation, otherwise I think we would've burned the place down to the waterline. I would go back again, but only for takeout. My wine showed up as we were paying the bill. We sent it back.

We wanted a change for take out last night, and were very pleasantly surprised by Thai Bloom! Some different options: summer roll, hoi joh (seafood balls), pad ped beef, and crab fried rice... And the requisite eggplant stir fry. And the best part, they deliver! This may now be out go to Thai take out place!

+ nice service + delicious coconut ice cream that I got for free by checking in on Yelp. Though I think $4.99 for a scoop of ice cream is overpriced. The ice cream tasted like a mix between shaved ice and sorbet. + yummy eggplant and tofu, though not spec

Probably the best Thai food I've had in Portland. We ordered the Tom Kha soup--DELicious! Potstickers--also delicious! The Panang curry--yummy! and the Saw de ew noodles--going to try the Pad Thai noodles next time instead. The best part is the free coconut ice cream that they hand make with your yelp check-in. I usually don't like coconut ice cream but I devoured this one! So good! The service was just ok, kind of a let down compared to the awesome food.

Daniel N.
Never had a peoblem with the services here. Very nice and attentive. I have tried mostly everything on the menu so hopefully my review sounds creditable for everyone. This place has very good Thai ice tea and coffee - not too sweet and flavorful. I tried to stop eating Signature Boat noodle but I couldn't - shame. It's just too good to give up with. The broth isn't too hot (your tongue might love it) and the noodle is right- neither too soft nor too hard to chew. Make sure you try it with beef- which is very soft and goes good with the broth. And Yelper shouldn't forget to check in here to get a free coconut ice cream . yummm

You, my friend, may stop your pursuit of happiness because it resides here, during Thai Bloom's happy hour. With multiple happy hours every day AND a whole day-long happy hour on Sunday, you and your stomach both will be happy with the extensive HH menu. Drunken noodles (pad kee mao), pad thai, fried calamari all make the list here for $7 and under. I always appreciate it when a restaurant doesn't skimp out on the portion size just because the meals are cheaper, and Thai Bloom does not disappoint. I recommend the Thai fried rice, the calamari, and the potstickers. And although I didn't try it, the chicken wings looked and smelled delicious. You'll be so full that you won't even have enough stomach space to get the free coconut ice cream by checking in with Yelp! I'll definitely be back for more, Thai Bloom!

As a newcomer to the area I did seek advice on good Thai restaurants and I was very pleasantly surprised with Thai Bloom. Tucked away in a little strip mall this tasty morsel with ample parking (perhaps because the little brew pub next was closed for repairs) and quaint outside seating. We opted to sit inside as it was an usually warm day for Portland standards. My husband ordered the Panang Curry with chicken and I ordered the traditional Pad Thai with prawns. Our server was very knowledgeable about the menu and asked us all the right questions and what was brought to us was the perfect blend spice, heat and yummy goodness! The restaurant was busy, the atmosphere heady with a blend of spice, and fragrant notes that left us with a feeling of satisfaction with both the food and the restaurant in general. We'll be back!

We come here on occasion when we want some happy hour Thai food. The great thing about this place is its happy hour, their selection is big so you have a lot of options and the price is reasonable. I got beef pad thai and fried calamari. The calamari seemed like it was frozen but thats probably why its cheap and fried and the pad thai didnt have as much beef as i was wanting. Overall the service was good and the waitress was helpful by checking up on us throughout the meal. When you check in you also get a small coconut ice cream dessert a good way to finish off the meal. They have a horrible item for happy hour called orange ribs. For the love of god take that off the menu and never bring it back. I had this the first time i ate here and i thought my ribs were actually turning orange! I dont know what the color orange entails but it is not good. Do not order it TL:DR THE thai happy hour spot, dont get orange ribs. Trust me

Good food. Wait staff is often slow and forgets things but the food makes it worth it. Honestly if they would comp a drink here and there for the bigger mess ups all would be well. I really like the pad Thai (don't order it to go though it gets soggy) and the yellow curry. Good knowledge on gluten free options.

Update: I have become a regular for their happy hour. The happy hour prices are great. The whole place is bright, clean and friendly. Happy hour Menu; Pad Thai with chicken: this is my favorite happy hour item. The portion on this makes a good meal for me. I keep forgetting to tell them to hold the sprouts though. Pot stickers and chicken satay, both are yummy and make great starters or snacks. Dessert: Mango sticky rice! I love this dish and Thai Bloom makes a great version. Fried bananas; OK probably had a million calories but tastes great. While there are dishes not to my taste I have friends who love them. Tip they just opened a branch on NW 23rd in Portland. Pro tip, check in with Yelp mobile for a free scoop of coconut ice cream.

I love this little place- it's in a nice location, it's directly across the street from the nice Goodwill has a great selection of vinyls :) - The food is pretty darn good and the waitstaff are very kind. Anyone who knows me can tell you that I am a potsticker and fresh salad roll junkie. I love peanut sauce- Great peanut sauce and I unapologetically judge a Thai restaurant by their peanut sauce. Thai Bloom has great peanut sauce - I just wished they served it in larger serving dishes. There is just the right amount of heat and sweet and delicious peanut a goodness and every spoonful. All the usual suspects that are offered on most Thai menus are on this one - however, you have to give their orange ribs a try as well as their crab pad Thai and their pumpkin curry. In a word yum. In fact, all of their Curry is great and the only thing I will tell you is that even their most mild and benign Curry has a bit of a kick to it. There is ample parking - they have their own lot, they do take credit cards, and prices are reasonable. The only weird thing about this place are the bathrooms. I'm not sure what's really going on but when you walk into the bathrooms it's stifling, hot like you've walked into a jungle. It's sort of creepy. So if you're out perusing vinyls and work up an appetite - walk across the street and get your Thai fix on - you won't be disappointed.

Really felt mis-leaded by all the reviews this restaurant had. They have good happy hour price, but all the food we got (drunken noodle, fried rice, and pad Thai didn't taste authentic at all. Tasted super Americanize. It's all still edible but didn't taste like Thai food :(

Came here and loved it! The price is reasonable for the amount of food you receive. We arrived and were seated in the bar area due to dinner hour. They are very busy but attentive to your every need. Our servers were great. Very friendly ...providing our need before we even asked. Highly recommend this restaurant and love the check in bonus. The ice cream was AMAZING!

Almost walked out. I'm very into Thai food, and this place was nothing but decent. At $14 for a plate of mediocre Pad Thai, a 40 minute wait time, a VERY loud lobby, and a water glass with lipstick from the previous patron - just avoid it!

Terrible service, bland food. I came to order take-out in the restaurant around 8:00pm thinking it wouldn't be busy. To my surprise it was busy and I was impressed thinking the food must be great. Stood in front of the host at the counter while he was typing in the computer for about 5 minutes when he finally offered to take my order. Put in a simple order for Pineapple Fried rice and asked to hold the raisins. After taking my personal information, (first and last name and phone) which seemed excessive considering I was standing there, paying and waiting to walk out with my food I was told it would it be 15-20 minutes. I was surprised it would take up to 20 minutes but sat down and waited. While sitting I observed three parties walk up to him and ask to pay stating they had been forgotten. Meanwhile, bags for delivery and pick-up were being brought to the front. I noticed a small bag placed after just a few minutes but based on being told it would take 15-20 minutes didn't think it was mine. My husband came in after about 15 minutes and noticed a bag with my name on it. It was the small bag that had now been sitting there for over 10 minutes getting cold while I was just waiting and would have been waiting for who knows how long. The worst part was getting home to my meal, WITH raisins and super bland rice. Never again.

Yep, we have a new favorite here. Thai Bloom has a wonderful happy hour schedule: 4 to 6 PM Daily 8 PM to Close Mon -Thu 9 PM to Close Fri - Sat All Day Sunday What great times for happy hour! The staff are really friendly and helpful. Always smiling. They also put up with Ben's off-the-menu requests for soda-water and juice. The food is generally delicious and unique. Also, it's well explained on the menu so you know what to expect when it comes out. The Wide Noodles (pretty spicy) are a favorite. Been there three times...ordered them three times. The Phad Thai was bland...but...whatever, there are other awesome menu items to choose from. I like the Green Papaya Salad a lot. The Tom Kha soup is amazing and I've ordered that twice as well. So many good things to try on the Happy Hour menu. As far as cocktails go, they're generally strong. The first one I tried here was the Lychee one. It's literally vodka and smashed lychee. I couldn't even finish it. Taking it as a couple shots would be a better idea than sipping it. Next trip I tried the One Night In Bangkok one. Better, still strong...good though. I eventually tried another cocktail...can't remember the name but it was red and delicious. Best one so far. The portion to price ratio is fantastic and overall a great deal. The food comes out quickly. Don't forget your free Check In coconut ice cream!

Really this is exceptional. Used to have lunch here when i worked nearby several years ago. After a long hiatus from trying to drive in Beaverton, I returned for dinner and it was totally worth the hassle. Very interesting and diverse menu makes it tough to choose! The portions were generous and the flavours were amazing. Go family style!

This place is always busy! Be prepared to wait at least 30min - 1 hr during busy dinner time. Make sure to call ahead. It's not a place to come if you have very little patience, expected to be served immediately, and/or eating within 15min of ordering. I know, how 'un-Asian' of them. But you will soon realize how rewarding your experience could be as soon as you take that first whiff of someone's dish leaving the kitchen. That aromatic trail leaves you blinded and thirty min wait time doesn't sound so bad... But, snack a little so your diva doesn't come uninvited. My staple dishes: Hot wings, Papaya Salad, and Drunken noodles. Wings: come in four pieces all together, dry battered placed on top of sweet/spicy/garlicky sauce, and served with pickled radish and carrot sticks. I love how simple it is but executed perfectly. Wings are warm and crunchy with perfect amount of sauce you can 'dip'. It makes my mouth water just thinking about this. Let me just preface by saying these are no where close to Pok Pok's famous wings. If you gotta have PP's, you just gotta go there. But this is a good alternative on the West side and different enough that I think it deserves its own shout out. Papaya Salad: I usually order this at every thai restaurant. I think it's really personal dish as some may prefer salty, spicy, or sweet, or sour than other. For me, sweetness is overpowering and lacks sour/Limey note in the flavor profile. A little downer... But to finish on a high note, Drunken Noodle (Pad Kee Mao): Better than most places I've tried. Some might consider this dish little dry as you don't see extra sauce 'dripping'. However, I appreciate the sauce/noodle/veggies ratio. Flavor of the sauce is balanced. Noodles are perfectly cooked EVERY time. You don't see broken pieces (which a lot of places over cook) and no dry spots! Happy Hour: If dinner is too much of a commitment for you try their HH. They have pretty large selection to choose from. My favorite HH is on Sundays because it's ALL day! However, be aware that it's only available in their bar area. There is a wait list (during busy hours/Sundays) and they will ask you to check with the host before you get too comfortable, if you decide to seat yourself. Now, go find your own favorites and let your taste bud do the talking. :) Have fun!

One of our goto places for Thai food around Beaverton. Ever since we stumbled upon this place through yelp we have been coming here pretty often. Nearly everything that we have had here has been good. My favorite here has been the drunken noodle, ask for spicy if you want to enjoy it more. There are multiple tasty dishes to try here. In no particular order here are some of the dishes that I would definitely try again: flaming fish, pad Thai, cashew chicken and the basil fried rice. If you want flavor and protein then the flaming fish is a good idea, and I was not feeling stuffed after that. Basil fried rice is something that that we recently tried and enjoyed a lot. Pad Thai and cashew chicken are standard and safe options that always deliver. They have a nice happy hour where you can try multiple things in smaller portions and enjoy. I would suggest checking it out and trying it. The icing on the cake is, if you checkin on yelp then, you get a free coconut ice cream with chocolate and peanut on it. Definitely try it. Always fun to finish with this.

I've been wanting to try Thai Bloom since it popped up on Cedar Hills a while ago...We hadn't planned on eating here last Saturday, but after Rama Thai had a 30 minute wait, we decided to head down the road and try it out. When we walked in I was immediately hit with the overwhelming smell of shrimp, and about an 80 degree room temperature. There was a lobby full of people but we signed in, and only waited about 15 minutes for a table, not too bad. We were seated in the bar, and it took about 15 more minutes for our waitress to acknowledge us. Once she took our drink/appetizer orders (Thai iced tea and veggie spring rolls), she didn't return until they were ready (15 more minutes), and that's when she finally took our food order. My guy ordered the chicken pad Thai, and I had the tom kha soup. Our food took about 45 minutes to get to our table from this point. The breakdown: Veggie Spring Rolls, they were delicious. The inside was filled with cabbage, noodles, carrots, and some corn. The dipping sauce was a very viscous well-balanced sweet and sour sauce that complemented the rolls perfectly. The Thai iced tea was way too sweet for my liking, almost unpalatable. The Chicken Pad Thai was extremely dry, there wasn't enough sauce, and it lacked depth in flavor. It was sub par for sure. The tom kha soup was decent. It is a far thicker consistency than I'm used to for this soup, not a bad thing just very noticeable. I chose to have chicken in my soup, and it was fine I guess, it basically tasted like boiled chicken (how much raving can you do for that). I did notice that there weren't the normal large chunks of galangal root to avoid, which was nice, and just a few lemongrass layers needed to be removed. The flavor was spot on, but they had crumbled a chili into the soup and it was really hot. I've never had this type of soup be spicy, the chili is normally intact so that you can choose your level of spicy. Not this night. The spicy soup combined with the extremely high temperature and loudness of the restaurant, and the overwhelming smell of shrimp started becoming unbearable during the meal. Halfway though our meal we both started feeling sick from it all, and just wanted to leave. It took us 20 minutes just to get our waitress's attention so that we could have our check. All in all, the food was just okay to dine is such a loud, smelly, hot atmosphere with kind of terrible service.

We've been here a few times and while some experiences were better than others, they have all been worth the money. I especially appreciate that everything is cooked fresh when ordered and the cooks can cater to food allergies. Some restaurants make you seem like you're putting them out or being 'that pesky patron' if you ask for a dish to be made without fish sauce. Not Thai Bloom! They aim to please and they have never ever made me feel embarrassed to ask! I also appreciate that this is a family friendly restaurant. They even left children into the bar area during Happy Hour! (This is great if you have picky kids and need to order lots of small plates, btw ). I highly recommend the curries and the Pad Thai, but I've never had a meal here that I didn't enjoy!

Nice place for a decent Thai meal. I had the massaman, which was extremely tasty with a lot of meat. They use a high quality brisket that also melts in your mouth. My wife had another tasty dish that was very flavorful. While the name of that dish is forgettable, the dish itself is far from it. Just ask for the yummy yellow stuff in a bowl with noodles....... We will be back!

Great food, but I dock them a star for bad service. They're not that big of a restaurant and they have lots of staff, so I'm not sure why every time we go our water glasses remain empty for most of the meal. They have very tasty dishes that are unique. I can't stray from the glass noodle dishes - the sukiyaki soup and the summer sukiyaki stir fry. Soooo delicious!

Falon M.
Wa really pleased with the food and service here! The salad rolls were some of the best I've had, and I've had a few in my time. I had the Panang Curry and my dining partner had the Flaming Halibut, both were sooo delicious. Convenient location, lovely atmosphere and attentive service.. couldn't ask for more! The serving sizes do seem small when you first get it but with an appetizer it ended being the perfect size. Will be back for sure!

Very tasty, certainly holds its own against the way too many Thai places around. Food is well presented. Low rating is because the menu prices are too high, not a good value compared to the others.

For those of you who used to frequent Typhoon, Thai Bloom is, IMHO, its reincarnation. The menu is similar and the flavors nearly identical - at least for the dishes I enjoy. The ample dining area is to the left of the entrance, but there is a bar area good for quick lunches or happy hour. I would give Thai Bloom five stars, except the service can be error prone and occasionally sluggish. The restaurant is often busy, but they do cater if you want them to come to you. They are a frequent lunch meeting choice at my office. Parking is a bit of a Wild Wild West feel since the lines have faded to nothing. People are lousy at parking even with lines, so you can imagine what happens without them! The addition of a brew pub next door doesn't help either. The food is well worth the minor hassles though.

This is one of our favorite restaurants in town. I have never had anything I disliked. I do have favorites and less favorites. The happy hour is great for small plates.

Ordered crying tiger and Bloom salad and it wasn't that big portion for the price. You probably need to order 3 items for two people there. The sauces were very tasty but spicy, so just make sure if your a spice light weight you order the dressing on the side. Service is okay, nothing great, but not that bad.

I called and was on hold for about 7 minutes before someone spoke to me, so that was a little frustrating. The food took about 63 minutes to be delivered. It also wasn't very good, extremely bland. The pot stickers were pretty good though. Not a bad experience, but not a swell one either.

My friends and I usually come here for their all day happy hour on Sunday's. - They have a good selection ranging from $2-$5 and a decent drink menu. - Their regular menu has good variety and is reasonably priced. - Great service by the staff, when a dish was too spicy for a friend they offered to fix it so he could continue to enjoy it.

Joe C.
I'd heard good things about this place, but was disappointed. On a Sunday afternoon, the apparent supervisor seemed to wish she were elsewhere, finally told me to take a seat in the bar. Service was lackadaisical, the food pricy for Thai. They did not ask what spice level I wanted (I lived in Asia many years and like it native) so what I got was bland, certainly not as good as many other Thai restaurants in the area. Maybe they were just tired from the Sunday lunch rush, I don't know. But nothing about that experience made me want to go back.

We ate dinner here on a recommendation from our Portland friends. My friend's wife is a Thai national and told us this place was one of her favorites. The food was excellent! We had Ginger Chicken, Cashew Chicken and Garlic Pork. All dishes were perfectly cooked and very flavorful with a good amount of vegetables included. Presentation was nice and the food was hot. So why not 5 stars? Service. We were quickly seated and our orders taken, but it became slow as others have pointed out. We were ready for a check for at least 15 minutes before our waitress finally drifted by again. If they solve the service issues this place would be 5 stars without question. If you go, be patient and enjoy the excellent food when it arrives.

Food: great! Had the papaya salad, spring roll and pad Thai. Stressed mild for the pad Thai and it was fine. Papaya salad was my favorite! Cool, refreshing, with just the right amount of heat. Service: inconsistent. One person gave us water, another brought our food so had no idea who ordered what, and a third person took our payment. I used my yelp check-In for a free coconut ice cream. My friend asked for one too, that she would pay for, and it never came. She wasn't charged so that's good but he didn't listen.

Wow, I'm not even sure where to start. I've loved Thai bloom since they have opened and return here often. This review is not about the food- which is top notch and delicious. This is about the service we received today. First, we ordered 5 things. All of which came out at different times. Could not even eat your ribs with your rice or noodles because they came out at least 15 minutes away from each other. Second, our noodles were cold. Third, they didn't even bring us our rice-ever. Fourth, they brought our ice cream desert out before they even finished bringing all of our dinner food. Full plates and all. Fifth, they never once checked on us and asked how we were doing. I don't know why the service was so off today but it's very disappointing. Hopefully it was a off day and not something to be repeated.

Great food! Awesome Happy Hour Specials!!! Only thing is the bar side is very lively/noisey.....don't mind but just FYI. Also, Happy Hour specials only available here....not part of regular restaurant seating. 2nd time here and food was just as good if not better!! Looking forward to round 3!

OMGoodness, I LOVE this place! Consistently excellent food and prep. I ate there three times in one week recently, when I was moving and didn't have a kitchen for a few days. Did I mention I LOVE this place?!! Oh, and Happy Hour -- oh, yeah.

One of the regular restaurants in our dinner rotation! Everything I've had is really good, portions are big, service is a bit slow, but when you are in good company, it's all good! Also, a free scoop of coconut ice cream is a great bonus!

Food is awesome, atmosphere is nice... but definitely not something we can afford to do often. Last time we went, there were 7 of us. We were seated at a smallish set of tables and then easily moved when more space opened up. That was nice. The service is good, just not really affordable.to do often.

Thai Bloom- one of the many Thai restaurants near the movie theater on Cedar Hills Boulevard. The pad thai is always the first thing I order at a new Thai restaurant; it makes a great "test" dish for comparison. The pad thai here was good, arrived quickly, and was comparable in price to most other places. Service was decent for a busy Friday night. I was actually surprised at how busy they were.

OK, without a doubt, the cheapest (without sacrificing quality) happy hour in downtown Portland. I'm not an expert on Thai cuisine, so purists need to try it for themselves, but in comparison to the rest of the Thai restaurants I've eaten at, this has to be near the top, both in ambiance and the quality of food. I'll be here at least once a week. Update: they put up their prices, no longer the cheapest. But still decent.

This is by far one of the best Happy Hours in the area. Make sure to be patient as they get packed with a fun and vibrant crowd. The staff are friendly and attentive to your needs. I recommend sitting in the bar area or patio. The food quality and portions exceed expectations.

Its not like theres a shoryage of Thai restaurants in Beaverton, so finding one that stands out is is hard to find. Thai Bloom is that place! We showed up with no reservations and a party of five on Valentine's at 8pm. They were very gracious and the hostess found us a table in about 10 minutes. Our waiter, Alex, was prompt, courteous and knowledgeable. As usual, the food was excellent. We ordered the Pad Thai, the Tom Yum soup, and Pad SE Ew. Everything came to the table piping hot. They also run specials when you check in on Yelp, so make sure you look for an offer. We ended up with the coconut ice cream. A fabulous way to end a really good meal.
Not the best Thai food I've had but definitely not the worst. They have two entrances- one for the bar and one for the actual restaurant. The bar was quite noisy. Our waitress only checked on us once and we were seated by the door- it was very cold. The food was good- not the best, but good. I liked their Thai iced tea and they had yummy ice cream. I don't know if we'll be back again. Did not seem worth the price.

Oh my God how long does it take to stir fry some noodles. Don't go when it is busy. the food is good but it will take 45minutes to get 1plate of noodles and then we were asked to move because a large party. We then asked what are food was going to come and he said it was going to be next in line. At that point we left

I have no idea what has happened here. We loved a last minute Thai Bloom run in-between clients. Everything used to be so fresh, so yummy, and never left me feeling icky. The last two times we have gone we have left very disappointed. Dry pad thai? that shouldn't be a thing. No more pork belly? Drunken noodles that left me feeling just a little bit off. I used to love this place for its very detailed menu about gluten etc and now I don't know what to think. Hopefully they work out some of these issues because it used to be the best thai food in Beaverton.

This place has everything I've been looking for....Thai food, relatively near home, well-priced, and excellent, friendly service. Bonus: all day Happy Hour on Sunday (score!) with treats like $2.95 micros, appetizers and small plates up to $4.95, fun specialty cocktails under $5.00. And yet, it's a 3-star for me. I had chicken pad thai and spring rolls. Both were...fine. A-ok. But very little flavor, spice, anything else going on. I like my Thai (and anything else, really) on the mild side. Pad Thai isn't known to be particularly spicy, in fact it's often not at all. But that sweet, rich sauce I usually love just had no real flavor at all. And that's too bad, because it was a perfect portion, nicely cooked noodles, delicious chicken - and I just wanted salt, sriracha, soy, something. Same with the spring rolls. They were a bit dry and while they did come with a dipping sauce that added some honey-like sweetness, there was no seasoning, chili, anything else to it. What it comes down to is I just wanted something to grab my attention and nothing did. HH prices are reasonable, as is lunch. Dinner prices are a bit high for the area but not out of the question at all for quality Thai. I'll be back to try some curries, as I've heard a lot of good things about Thai Bloom and it certainly has the Yelp cred to back it up....I just can't get past 3 stars at this point.

Best Thai food around these neck of the woods. Enjoyed my experience there even when it gets really busy, the staff are friendly, courteous and welcoming. Very well run. My go to dishes are the Tom Ka soup, salad rolls and chicken skewers. Presentation of the dishes are well done and the quality of the ingredients can be tasted. Big fan.

Went here for happy hour, we had dancing shrimp, chicken satay, and the potstickers, all of which were flavorful and delicious at a low price. We also had a couple cocktails which were strong and made to perfection! Low prices great atmosphere amazing service!

Woo HOO Typhoon rises like a phoenix from the ashes....recreated as Thai Bloom, with all of the great food, talented chefs, lovely service, and none of the managerial drama. Excellent curries and tom gha soup. So so so so happy to find a great restaurant in Beaverton - it's been a challenge since we moved here from NE PDX a couple of years ago. Now I have my new fave Thai place close to home (happy sigh).

We stopped in at Thai Bloom while we were in town looking for a new home a few weeks ago. The place was busy but were seated within 15 minutes. We were excited to try the food due to the great ratings on yelp. Unfortunately that was not our experience. Once seated the waitress brought us water and came back for our order. We ordered our drinks, appetizer and entree all at once. The drinks came quickly... then we waited and waited and after about 15 minutes our appetizers arrived - they were mediocre at best. The folks that came in after us at this point had received all of their food. Then the wait was on for our entree (noodle dish).... and we waited and waited and oh look our waitress. She filled up our water and said the food was on its way. Then more waiting for another 10 minutes. We asked the bus boy about our meal to which his response was "out of my pay grade" (seriously??). Then a guy stopped by our table (man in charge obviously) and proceeded to tell us about a large party that just arrived and asked us if we would mind moving tables. We were baffled at this point, so we said sure if you can kindly bring us our dinner. He went to check our meal and proceeded to tell us it was next up. That is when we left the establishment. It may be a one off but it was an incredibly disappointing experience and the staff did absolutely nothing to make the situation better... that is the most disappointing part. .

I've tried many great, authentic restaurants and this one is pretty good. It has great rice dishes, but the noodle dishes (drunken noodle and pad thai) we tried were burned and not very good. The fried rice and curry options were all awesome. They also have great desserts. The Coconut sticky rice with mango was amazing!

LOVE LOVE LOVE! The happy hour is amazing! It happens from 4-6 and everything on the happy hour menu is UNDER $5.99, yes it is an amazing deal, and the food is just as delicious as the non-happy hour food. I love the decorating in this place, it is very modern and it is open and airy. The staff is wonderful, and is willing to meet your every need! When i found out the owners of my old favorite Typhoon had opened this place, i knew I had to go! You will not be disappointed. If you do not go during happy hour the prices are still great, and the portions are quite large! I have never had a bad experience here

Consistently the best value, quality, freshness, service of anywhere in the metro area. Easily my favorite spot in Beaverton. Been eating here for years and they only improve with each visit. We dine outdoors with our dog in the summer. Amazing happy hour. The people are great. I rarely write reviews but Thai bloom deserves more 5 stars.

Joseph K.
Great portions and amazing drink prices for happy hour. Haven't checked out the normal lunch or dinner, but if the flavors are the same then i'm sure it's on point! Check-in using your yelp app to get a free hand made coconut ice cream.

I used to drive by the former Thai place that resided here - Thai Derm - and could never bring myself to try it. The name alone was...weird..but the reviews about bad service said NO. However, my co-worker insisted the new place was absolutely great and I should try it. Okay, I give. This place is good. Just walking in the door, you're probably feeling pretty good because it's laid out and decorated beautifully. It's also very open with large windows for nice lighting. The menu is huge. I'm a stickler for two Thai dishes: Pad Thai & Yellow Curry. My first go round I got the yellow curry. It was delicious - creamy, well spiced and fresh ingredients for sure. However, one of my dining companions got the Tom Yum noodles (which I had never heard of) and I was dish jealous immediately. I also got the Thai Iced Tea and it's made right. My second go round I was ready to order before I walked in the door...but my will was almost insta-weakened by the fall offering of Crab Pad Thai. Resolve won out and I got the Tom Yum Noodles. To describe this dish...well, heck let me describe it! Ground beef, BBQ pork, prawn dumpling & shrimp in a soup base with noodles. Hol-y crap. That is GOOD. The soup flavor is spiced just right & all the meats are great. Thankfully my co-worker got the crab Pad Thai so we traded a few tastes - OMG. That was good too! Service is polite and great. They're clearly working hard to please their clientele and are very enthusiastic as well. I overheard that the chef came from Typhoon! Unlike other reviewer, I won't hold that against them because the food is good, the restaurant is pleasant and I will be back. And back again.

I used to go to Thai Derm, which was at this location.. We went as a group. We ordered different items, these are the items that I tried: Chicken Fried Rice (default spice level, which I expect to be medium spicy) wasn't spicy at all... very ordinary taste. Ginger Chicken (which has 2 spice levels next to it): Ordered it as medium spicy: not spicy, and not tasty as well. Cashew Chicken: I expected this to ordinary, but this was the best item over there. On a different visit, tried the same item with Cashew Tofu & vegetables: Pretty good with tofu pieces nice, soft & tasty (ordered it spicy and was the right spice level). Veggie Spring Rolls appetizer: pretty good (their peanut sauce that came with Combination appetizer was pretty good, like many Thai restaurants) Hoi Joh appetizer: This was decent to good as well. The veggie dish: Buddhas Delight was not good (as per the veggie person in the group). Thai iced tea was good. Decent service. For this restaurant, looks like Spicy spice level is same as Medium spice at other Thai restaurants. Everything that I order here is ordered Spicy. With so many thai restaurants, I would prefer going else where.

I never thought I would find a place better than E-San. The presentation for the food is exquisite.we ordered the drunken noodles and the crab pad Thai ...amazing flavor in both dishes . The salad rolls were good and finally I would like to add the cream cheese crab wonton since I love appetizers this one was my favorite . The service was excellent ...basically they are friendly and on top of there work ...thank you Thai Bloom and I will be coming back again...

Have been to Thai Bloom twice and both times the food was excellent (duck curry is especially good, wonderful mix of spicy savory flavor with a fruity sweetness that compliments it very well). The table staff is good overall as well; however, both times the reception process has been less well-organized. Host/hostess could not remember who we were less than a minute after taking our names; called for reservations on our second visit and requested a table in the dining room (not the bar). Arrived at the scheduled time and still had to wait twenty minutes - before being escorted to a table in the bar which we declined and waited another ten minutes for a table in the dining room. Overall, good restaurant but frustrating up to the point where you get seated in my experience. Also would be a good idea for them to mark the side entrance (at the bar) as just that - and direct people to the main entrance (which is paradoxically located on the side of the restaurant from the main street.

I recently moved up to Oregon. My boyfriend and I spent the day in Beaverton and decided to end our day at Thai Bloom! because of all the Yelp reviews. We started our dinner with each a glass of their delicious Thai iced tea and soup as an appetizer, I had a cup of Tofu and Veggie Soup which I found to be a little plain, but the veggies ad tofu were good. My boyfriend had the Tom Kha, he really enjoyed it. For the main dish I had the Pad See Ew, it was really good, the noodles were perfectly cooked, the veggies and the tofu were done well, the sauce combined everything nicely although it could have been a little spicier. My boyfriend had the Crab Pad Thai and he kept going on about it. We ended our evening with my boyfriend getting the Fried Banana and I got the Homemade Coconut Ice Cream. Both desserts were delicious! I cant wait to go back and try their other dishes and desserts!

I went to this restaurant last night for Valentine's dinner. It was my first time going in and didn't think to make reservations. The place was packed but we were seated within about 30 minutes, and were offered drinks during our wait. Once seated our server was very attentive and quickly took our drink and food orders. The food was good. We ordered Tom kha soup, papaya salad and eggplant stir fry. No complaints on any item. Our water glasses were never empty and we were even given chocolate covered strawberries as a valentines treat. price was good for a 3 course meal, would definitely go back!

Tina K.
Can't go wrong with Thai Bloom! Impeccable flavors in every dish we ordered: Massuman Beef Curry, Swimming Rama, Cashew Chicken, & Tom Yum. Delicious! Sit away from windows - corner window table quite chilly! Lastly, and most important to me, TONS of gluten free options!!!!

Cathy C.
I have eaten here two times. I tried their Drunken noodles, Basil Fried Rice and assorted appetizers. So far I have not had anything really exceptional. I might try them again, but their lunch menu is more expensive than other Thai restaurants that are closer to my work and the food has just been average. If you are on the west side of Beaverton try Zab or Thai 5.

Amanda N.
Really great food, always fresh and hot, and the presentation is beautiful. Awesome veggie and gluten free options. One thing I would say is that the atmosphere is fancier than most Thai places around and there is usually a wait for dining in. If you go at peak time don't plan on eating within the hour, but the food is completely worth the wait!

Came here a few months back and enjoyed the food. Thought the prices were a little high. On my husbands birthday this week I said, Hey honey you want to go out to eat tonight. He says sure. I say where do you want to go? How about that Thai place. I immediately know which Thai place. We went around 5:00 pm. The middle of happy hour. We were seated in the dining area. I asked the waitress if we could see the happy hour menu and order a few things while we were waiting for our daughter to join us in about 1/2 hour. She proceeds to tell me that we can't order off the happy hour menu unless we are sitting on the other side in the bar. Really? So we get up and walk over to the bar area. Kind of ridiculous to me, but ok. The bar was packed and it was a Wednesday. I was surprised but now I know why. The have a big happy hour menu with great prices. The food was even more delicious because the prices were great. We ended up making our meal for four of us out of several happy hour menu items, which we originally hadn't planned on doing. We were just going to get a couple of things while waiting for our daughter. ( One of our other daughters was already with us) We ordered: 2 cups of Tom Kha soup ( some of the best I have had) Drunken noodles Papaya salad Spring rolls Chicken larb salad 2 orders of edamame Chicken wings Cream cheese crab puff thingys Lightly dusted fried calamari 1 beer 1 raspberry lemon drop Also, they gave my hubby ice cream with strawberries and mint for free for his birthday. That was a nice touch. Anyways, total bill just under $50. Pretty good deal to feed 4 for dinner and we took home a little leftovers. The food was really fresh and delicious. We will definitely go back during happy hour which is from 4-6 during the week, but all day 12 - 9 on Sundays.

This is my new favorite thai restaurant in town! Seriously good food! There summer salad with shrimp and tempura asparagus is to die for! Very big salad, enough to share. The red pineapple curry is also delicious, very flavorful. What impressed me about this place is that everything is very flavorful and done well. Plus they have some super unique items on the menu. I'll definitely be back.

Gary S.
Without a doubt this is one of the best Thai restaurants in the Beaverton area, maybe the best. It's a little on the pricey side as its easy to drop thirty plus dollars for lunch but the food is top notch. Plus, it's one of the few Thai restaurants that will actually spice up you food when you ask for it to be made spicy. I always get the beef salad made spicy with a side of rice to soak up the extra dressing and I've never been disappointed. My main complaint is their lack of brown rice. Nice setting, good food and attentive service make this a great place for a romantic dinner or business lunch.

We came here on Sunday because my sister said that they have a killer happy hour that runs all day on Sundays. We were going to wait to go here for a special occasion but the happy hour deals were too enticing to hold off on. The happy hour menu had a lot of choices, but I wish it had even more entree choices. I started pointing at all the things and the waiter commented on how hungry I was. I was hungry indeed, but more curious than hungry. I would definitely get the calamari and the drunken noodles again. Everybody should check in here on yelp because you get a free coconut ice cream. The ice cream was phenomenal and homemade. It also has a bunch of coconut chunks in it. I also should include that the happy hour food portions appear to be smaller than their non happy hour counterparts. My sister and I felt like cheapskates for ordering off the uber affordable HH menu and also taking advantage of the free ice cream yelp deal. However I know I will make it up by coming back plenty and plenty of times.

THEY DELIVER! Just used their delivery service for the first time. Hadn't even heard of the place before. Just needed food after a day of moving. Staff on the phone was polite, efficient and professional. I ordered 6 different main dishes from Pad Thai and Pas Se Ew to the String Beans and Panang Curry. All of it was very, very good. Nothing was forgotten (always a risk with delivery). They quoted a 45 minute delivery time and it took just about 35 minutes. Great food. Great service. I'll be back...

Great food and great service. Gotta try the happy hour dishes like pad thai, fried rice, chicken skewers, and calamari. All range in price from 2.99, 3.99, & 5.99 with a few other options in between. Portions are enough for two people. We spent just about $30 and took food home (price included drinks). The atmosphere was above average and the servers were very nice and were very forthright when describing the portion amounts and didn't try an make you buy more than you should - pet peeve of mine. All and all, I would highly recommend.

This place is GREAT! Sunday all day happy hour pricing is amazing. But if you try it Sunday, you'll want to come back twice before Sunday rolls around again. So good. I love their pad thai. See their lovely restaurant in this short video. vimeo.com/74071064

Carina H.
The start of my review. The place is hopping! My friend and I were seated within about ten minutes. We ordered, received out Thai iced tea right away. However, we waited an hour for our pad Thai. After about forty minutes we asked the gentleman who seated us about our food. He graciously told us we were second in line. After he helped us our waiter finally came to check on us, numerous times. The food itself came out hot and was good, but the service was lacking. I'll probably come back, but on another night and I won't sit in the bar. Update, after we asked about our food, the service improved. Additionally we were given complementary ice cream. It won't change my review entirely, but it was a nice gesture.

Serviced by Nick: Fantastic! He's attentive, friendly, and just wonderful. Food: 5+ stars. Secret menu - papaya salad - Lao style. Very spicy but very good. Not on the secret menu but just as good: the Tom Yum Soup, Seafood Delight and Crab Pad Thai are just great! Dessert: fried banana ala mode...very delish! Overall: great food, great service, decent pricing. Will definitely be back!

Sorry, Thai Bloom, but Siam Lotus has you beat, on every level, and it's only a stone's throw away, so.....we won't be back to Thai Bloom. Seriously .... no clue why this place has 500 reviews. For training purposes at Thai Bloom, here's the scoop: your "Salad Rolls" have no salad in them. One shrimp, one tiny lettuce leaf and 95% rice noodles does not constitute a salad roll. Next: the pineapple fried rice should have more than 3 shrimp. The fried rice, in general, is not great. Check out the restaurant Pho Tango off of Cornelius Pass for the right way to do fried rice (with the right proportions of ingredients). Next: chicken is flat, old and tough. Not good. Again, Siam Lotus has amazingly juicy chicken in all the dishes. I could keep going .... but the bottom line is, this place is too expensive for the lack of fresh ingredients.

Very good experience! Drunken noodles were good. The drinks were expertly crafted. Will go back.
Come for the happy hour! They have a great selection of food and drinks for a happy hour menu and the prices are very reasonable for what you get. I liked the chicken pad thai, but thought it could've had a little more flavor. The drunken noodles were also pretty good, but I've definitely had better. I also tried the calamari, which I thought was really good. I like my calamari crispy rather than chewy and that's how it is here. Their seating area for happy hour is on the side of the restaurant with the bar. There's probably ~15 or more tables that are meant for 2 people, but they can easily arrange the tables to accommodate larger parties. My group had about 10 people and the staff was really helpful in making sure we could all seat together. You can also choose to sit at the bar if you want to. If you're a yelper, make sure to check in for your free coconut ice cream! I personally hate coconut flavored things so I thought the ice cream was horrible. However, most of the people in my group thought it was super delicious. Can't go wrong with a free yelp deal!

Decent food, the service is amazing and the happy hour menu is good. We ordered fried calamari, chicken larb salad, papaya salad, pad tai with chicken, chicken satay, few drinks. All choices that we had were decent, the staff are very friendly, helpful and attentive. Bill came up to a decent price. It is a decent Thai restaurant for Beaverton area. Still nothing to top it off with any restaurant in San Francisco but I will return. One of the staff came up and helped me with my car because it needed a jump. So I thank him for that, what a nice man!

Go for their regular, Late night, or Sunday Happy Hour. The apps and entrees run from $2.99 to $6.99 per dish. They have a regular dining room and the bar/lounge area. Ask to sit in the lounge. Happy Hour food is only served there. It's a good thing because I found the lounge area to be more open and cheerful. My teenage daughter was able to dine there. She loved the Thai Fried Rice and I thought the Drunken noodles were really good. I've had Panang Curry and Pinapple Fried Rice delivered. They were both good too, but it can get pricy with the added delivery costs in addition to their higher normal entree prices. Still...looking forward to coming back for Happy hour instead for a discount. Oh yeah, check in on Yelp app for a free coconut ice cream dessert. It was good.

This is a pretty bittersweet review. My family and friends just left the restaurant after what we'd hoped would be a really nice dinner. And I'm happy to report that, in terms of the contents of the food, the quality of drinks, and the tastiness of the appetizers, everything was great. They were even able to take same-day reservations for a party of six. But the service was horrible. And again, it's not like they were cruel, or rude, it was just too damn busy. They had too many customers, and clearly not enough staff. Not enough waiters on the floor, and definitely not enough bartenders or cooks. As an example, it took an hour to get a glass of wine. After three requests. Our appetizers came out swiftly at the beginning of the meal. They were excellent. Again, I can't emphasize enough: the food was fantastic. But then it was over an hour until dinner showed up. Thank Christ we had good company & conversation, otherwise I think we would've burned the place down to the waterline. I would go back again, but only for takeout. My wine showed up as we were paying the bill. We sent it back.

We wanted a change for take out last night, and were very pleasantly surprised by Thai Bloom! Some different options: summer roll, hoi joh (seafood balls), pad ped beef, and crab fried rice... And the requisite eggplant stir fry. And the best part, they deliver! This may now be out go to Thai take out place!

+ nice service + delicious coconut ice cream that I got for free by checking in on Yelp. Though I think $4.99 for a scoop of ice cream is overpriced. The ice cream tasted like a mix between shaved ice and sorbet. + yummy eggplant and tofu, though not spec

Probably the best Thai food I've had in Portland. We ordered the Tom Kha soup--DELicious! Potstickers--also delicious! The Panang curry--yummy! and the Saw de ew noodles--going to try the Pad Thai noodles next time instead. The best part is the free coconut ice cream that they hand make with your yelp check-in. I usually don't like coconut ice cream but I devoured this one! So good! The service was just ok, kind of a let down compared to the awesome food.

Never had a peoblem with the services here. Very nice and attentive. I have tried mostly everything on the menu so hopefully my review sounds creditable for everyone. This place has very good Thai ice tea and coffee - not too sweet and flavorful. I tried to stop eating Signature Boat noodle but I couldn't - shame. It's just too good to give up with. The broth isn't too hot (your tongue might love it) and the noodle is right- neither too soft nor too hard to chew. Make sure you try it with beef- which is very soft and goes good with the broth. And Yelper shouldn't forget to check in here to get a free coconut ice cream . yummm

You, my friend, may stop your pursuit of happiness because it resides here, during Thai Bloom's happy hour. With multiple happy hours every day AND a whole day-long happy hour on Sunday, you and your stomach both will be happy with the extensive HH menu. Drunken noodles (pad kee mao), pad thai, fried calamari all make the list here for $7 and under. I always appreciate it when a restaurant doesn't skimp out on the portion size just because the meals are cheaper, and Thai Bloom does not disappoint. I recommend the Thai fried rice, the calamari, and the potstickers. And although I didn't try it, the chicken wings looked and smelled delicious. You'll be so full that you won't even have enough stomach space to get the free coconut ice cream by checking in with Yelp! I'll definitely be back for more, Thai Bloom!

As a newcomer to the area I did seek advice on good Thai restaurants and I was very pleasantly surprised with Thai Bloom. Tucked away in a little strip mall this tasty morsel with ample parking (perhaps because the little brew pub next was closed for repairs) and quaint outside seating. We opted to sit inside as it was an usually warm day for Portland standards. My husband ordered the Panang Curry with chicken and I ordered the traditional Pad Thai with prawns. Our server was very knowledgeable about the menu and asked us all the right questions and what was brought to us was the perfect blend spice, heat and yummy goodness! The restaurant was busy, the atmosphere heady with a blend of spice, and fragrant notes that left us with a feeling of satisfaction with both the food and the restaurant in general. We'll be back!

We come here on occasion when we want some happy hour Thai food. The great thing about this place is its happy hour, their selection is big so you have a lot of options and the price is reasonable. I got beef pad thai and fried calamari. The calamari seemed like it was frozen but thats probably why its cheap and fried and the pad thai didnt have as much beef as i was wanting. Overall the service was good and the waitress was helpful by checking up on us throughout the meal. When you check in you also get a small coconut ice cream dessert a good way to finish off the meal. They have a horrible item for happy hour called orange ribs. For the love of god take that off the menu and never bring it back. I had this the first time i ate here and i thought my ribs were actually turning orange! I dont know what the color orange entails but it is not good. Do not order it TL:DR THE thai happy hour spot, dont get orange ribs. Trust me

Good food. Wait staff is often slow and forgets things but the food makes it worth it. Honestly if they would comp a drink here and there for the bigger mess ups all would be well. I really like the pad Thai (don't order it to go though it gets soggy) and the yellow curry. Good knowledge on gluten free options.

Update: I have become a regular for their happy hour. The happy hour prices are great. The whole place is bright, clean and friendly. Happy hour Menu; Pad Thai with chicken: this is my favorite happy hour item. The portion on this makes a good meal for me. I keep forgetting to tell them to hold the sprouts though. Pot stickers and chicken satay, both are yummy and make great starters or snacks. Dessert: Mango sticky rice! I love this dish and Thai Bloom makes a great version. Fried bananas; OK probably had a million calories but tastes great. While there are dishes not to my taste I have friends who love them. Tip they just opened a branch on NW 23rd in Portland. Pro tip, check in with Yelp mobile for a free scoop of coconut ice cream.

I love this little place- it's in a nice location, it's directly across the street from the nice Goodwill has a great selection of vinyls :) - The food is pretty darn good and the waitstaff are very kind. Anyone who knows me can tell you that I am a potsticker and fresh salad roll junkie. I love peanut sauce- Great peanut sauce and I unapologetically judge a Thai restaurant by their peanut sauce. Thai Bloom has great peanut sauce - I just wished they served it in larger serving dishes. There is just the right amount of heat and sweet and delicious peanut a goodness and every spoonful. All the usual suspects that are offered on most Thai menus are on this one - however, you have to give their orange ribs a try as well as their crab pad Thai and their pumpkin curry. In a word yum. In fact, all of their Curry is great and the only thing I will tell you is that even their most mild and benign Curry has a bit of a kick to it. There is ample parking - they have their own lot, they do take credit cards, and prices are reasonable. The only weird thing about this place are the bathrooms. I'm not sure what's really going on but when you walk into the bathrooms it's stifling, hot like you've walked into a jungle. It's sort of creepy. So if you're out perusing vinyls and work up an appetite - walk across the street and get your Thai fix on - you won't be disappointed.

Really felt mis-leaded by all the reviews this restaurant had. They have good happy hour price, but all the food we got (drunken noodle, fried rice, and pad Thai didn't taste authentic at all. Tasted super Americanize. It's all still edible but didn't taste like Thai food :(

Came here and loved it! The price is reasonable for the amount of food you receive. We arrived and were seated in the bar area due to dinner hour. They are very busy but attentive to your every need. Our servers were great. Very friendly ...providing our need before we even asked. Highly recommend this restaurant and love the check in bonus. The ice cream was AMAZING!

Terrible service, bland food. I came to order take-out in the restaurant around 8:00pm thinking it wouldn't be busy. To my surprise it was busy and I was impressed thinking the food must be great. Stood in front of the host at the counter while he was typing in the computer for about 5 minutes when he finally offered to take my order. Put in a simple order for Pineapple Fried rice and asked to hold the raisins. After taking my personal information, (first and last name and phone) which seemed excessive considering I was standing there, paying and waiting to walk out with my food I was told it would it be 15-20 minutes. I was surprised it would take up to 20 minutes but sat down and waited. While sitting I observed three parties walk up to him and ask to pay stating they had been forgotten. Meanwhile, bags for delivery and pick-up were being brought to the front. I noticed a small bag placed after just a few minutes but based on being told it would take 15-20 minutes didn't think it was mine. My husband came in after about 15 minutes and noticed a bag with my name on it. It was the small bag that had now been sitting there for over 10 minutes getting cold while I was just waiting and would have been waiting for who knows how long. The worst part was getting home to my meal, WITH raisins and super bland rice. Never again.

Yep, we have a new favorite here. Thai Bloom has a wonderful happy hour schedule: 4 to 6 PM Daily 8 PM to Close Mon -Thu 9 PM to Close Fri - Sat All Day Sunday What great times for happy hour! The staff are really friendly and helpful. Always smiling. They also put up with Ben's off-the-menu requests for soda-water and juice. The food is generally delicious and unique. Also, it's well explained on the menu so you know what to expect when it comes out. The Wide Noodles (pretty spicy) are a favorite. Been there three times...ordered them three times. The Phad Thai was bland...but...whatever, there are other awesome menu items to choose from. I like the Green Papaya Salad a lot. The Tom Kha soup is amazing and I've ordered that twice as well. So many good things to try on the Happy Hour menu. As far as cocktails go, they're generally strong. The first one I tried here was the Lychee one. It's literally vodka and smashed lychee. I couldn't even finish it. Taking it as a couple shots would be a better idea than sipping it. Next trip I tried the One Night In Bangkok one. Better, still strong...good though. I eventually tried another cocktail...can't remember the name but it was red and delicious. Best one so far. The portion to price ratio is fantastic and overall a great deal. The food comes out quickly. Don't forget your free Check In coconut ice cream!

This place never fails. The food is so yummy, all the time. I always order my food to go because this place is always busy, and I know why. The food is so delicious. The atmosphere and place is so chill. And this is the only place who does Laos style papaya salad. Happy camper.

Really this is exceptional. Used to have lunch here when i worked nearby several years ago. After a long hiatus from trying to drive in Beaverton, I returned for dinner and it was totally worth the hassle. Very interesting and diverse menu makes it tough to choose! The portions were generous and the flavours were amazing. Go family style!

This place is always busy! Be prepared to wait at least 30min - 1 hr during busy dinner time. Make sure to call ahead. It's not a place to come if you have very little patience, expected to be served immediately, and/or eating within 15min of ordering. I know, how 'un-Asian' of them. But you will soon realize how rewarding your experience could be as soon as you take that first whiff of someone's dish leaving the kitchen. That aromatic trail leaves you blinded and thirty min wait time doesn't sound so bad... But, snack a little so your diva doesn't come uninvited. My staple dishes: Hot wings, Papaya Salad, and Drunken noodles. Wings: come in four pieces all together, dry battered placed on top of sweet/spicy/garlicky sauce, and served with pickled radish and carrot sticks. I love how simple it is but executed perfectly. Wings are warm and crunchy with perfect amount of sauce you can 'dip'. It makes my mouth water just thinking about this. Let me just preface by saying these are no where close to Pok Pok's famous wings. If you gotta have PP's, you just gotta go there. But this is a good alternative on the West side and different enough that I think it deserves its own shout out. Papaya Salad: I usually order this at every thai restaurant. I think it's really personal dish as some may prefer salty, spicy, or sweet, or sour than other. For me, sweetness is overpowering and lacks sour/Limey note in the flavor profile. A little downer... But to finish on a high note, Drunken Noodle (Pad Kee Mao): Better than most places I've tried. Some might consider this dish little dry as you don't see extra sauce 'dripping'. However, I appreciate the sauce/noodle/veggies ratio. Flavor of the sauce is balanced. Noodles are perfectly cooked EVERY time. You don't see broken pieces (which a lot of places over cook) and no dry spots! Happy Hour: If dinner is too much of a commitment for you try their HH. They have pretty large selection to choose from. My favorite HH is on Sundays because it's ALL day! However, be aware that it's only available in their bar area. There is a wait list (during busy hours/Sundays) and they will ask you to check with the host before you get too comfortable, if you decide to seat yourself. Now, go find your own favorites and let your taste bud do the talking. :) Have fun!

One of our goto places for Thai food around Beaverton. Ever since we stumbled upon this place through yelp we have been coming here pretty often. Nearly everything that we have had here has been good. My favorite here has been the drunken noodle, ask for spicy if you want to enjoy it more. There are multiple tasty dishes to try here. In no particular order here are some of the dishes that I would definitely try again: flaming fish, pad Thai, cashew chicken and the basil fried rice. If you want flavor and protein then the flaming fish is a good idea, and I was not feeling stuffed after that. Basil fried rice is something that that we recently tried and enjoyed a lot. Pad Thai and cashew chicken are standard and safe options that always deliver. They have a nice happy hour where you can try multiple things in smaller portions and enjoy. I would suggest checking it out and trying it. The icing on the cake is, if you checkin on yelp then, you get a free coconut ice cream with chocolate and peanut on it. Definitely try it. Always fun to finish with this.

Great place for a nice dinner of some delicious Thai food. This place can definitely get crowded quickly. Came here on a Friday at around 5:45 and by the time we left there was a long wait by the door. But they also offer carry out and delivery. This time around had the salad rolls as an appetizer. Really good! And then for dinner I had their green curry with chicken. Their portions are definitely generous! Plenty of food for two meals. My mom had some eggplant dish with ground chicken that was good as well. Highly recommend if you enjoy Thai food.

I've been wanting to try Thai Bloom since it popped up on Cedar Hills a while ago...We hadn't planned on eating here last Saturday, but after Rama Thai had a 30 minute wait, we decided to head down the road and try it out. When we walked in I was immediately hit with the overwhelming smell of shrimp, and about an 80 degree room temperature. There was a lobby full of people but we signed in, and only waited about 15 minutes for a table, not too bad. We were seated in the bar, and it took about 15 more minutes for our waitress to acknowledge us. Once she took our drink/appetizer orders (Thai iced tea and veggie spring rolls), she didn't return until they were ready (15 more minutes), and that's when she finally took our food order. My guy ordered the chicken pad Thai, and I had the tom kha soup. Our food took about 45 minutes to get to our table from this point. The breakdown: Veggie Spring Rolls, they were delicious. The inside was filled with cabbage, noodles, carrots, and some corn. The dipping sauce was a very viscous well-balanced sweet and sour sauce that complemented the rolls perfectly. The Thai iced tea was way too sweet for my liking, almost unpalatable. The Chicken Pad Thai was extremely dry, there wasn't enough sauce, and it lacked depth in flavor. It was sub par for sure. The tom kha soup was decent. It is a far thicker consistency than I'm used to for this soup, not a bad thing just very noticeable. I chose to have chicken in my soup, and it was fine I guess, it basically tasted like boiled chicken (how much raving can you do for that). I did notice that there weren't the normal large chunks of galangal root to avoid, which was nice, and just a few lemongrass layers needed to be removed. The flavor was spot on, but they had crumbled a chili into the soup and it was really hot. I've never had this type of soup be spicy, the chili is normally intact so that you can choose your level of spicy. Not this night. The spicy soup combined with the extremely high temperature and loudness of the restaurant, and the overwhelming smell of shrimp started becoming unbearable during the meal. Halfway though our meal we both started feeling sick from it all, and just wanted to leave. It took us 20 minutes just to get our waitress's attention so that we could have our check. All in all, the food was just okay to dine is such a loud, smelly, hot atmosphere with kind of terrible service.

We've been here a few times and while some experiences were better than others, they have all been worth the money. I especially appreciate that everything is cooked fresh when ordered and the cooks can cater to food allergies. Some restaurants make you seem like you're putting them out or being 'that pesky patron' if you ask for a dish to be made without fish sauce. Not Thai Bloom! They aim to please and they have never ever made me feel embarrassed to ask! I also appreciate that this is a family friendly restaurant. They even left children into the bar area during Happy Hour! (This is great if you have picky kids and need to order lots of small plates, btw ). I highly recommend the curries and the Pad Thai, but I've never had a meal here that I didn't enjoy!

Great happy hour food!! Great prices for a large variety of their popular dishes. I went here with a few of my friends and we got a little bit of everything. Papaya salad: Flavorful and tasty portion is generous. Nice and spicy just the way l like it. Tom Yum soup: got a cup full of tofu and veggies. They are quite generous most places would give you more watered down version. Pad Kee Mao(Drunken Noodles): Generous portion, delicious and tasty. Filling meal for one or great to share. Drinks were tasty and well made they definitely don't skimp on the liquor. Overall a great place to hang out and grab happy hour food. I would definitely come back again to try more dishes.

Almost walked out. I'm very into Thai food, and this place was nothing but decent. At $14 for a plate of mediocre Pad Thai, a 40 minute wait time, a VERY loud lobby, and a water glass with lipstick from the previous patron - just avoid it!

Best salad rolls Best drunken noodles Best Pad Thai Great Thai sticky wings MoooWEEEE yummy mango sticky rice. * if I could order just one thing * Happy Hour offerings are great and very fair prices. Everything comes out hot hot hot. Outside seating on nice days. Big bar area- which is where I like to be. Excellent, personable service.

Nice place for a decent Thai meal. I had the massaman, which was extremely tasty with a lot of meat. They use a high quality brisket that also melts in your mouth. My wife had another tasty dish that was very flavorful. While the name of that dish is forgettable, the dish itself is far from it. Just ask for the yummy yellow stuff in a bowl with noodles....... We will be back!

Great food, but I dock them a star for bad service. They're not that big of a restaurant and they have lots of staff, so I'm not sure why every time we go our water glasses remain empty for most of the meal. They have very tasty dishes that are unique. I can't stray from the glass noodle dishes - the sukiyaki soup and the summer sukiyaki stir fry. Soooo delicious!

Falon M.
Wa really pleased with the food and service here! The salad rolls were some of the best I've had, and I've had a few in my time. I had the Panang Curry and my dining partner had the Flaming Halibut, both were sooo delicious. Convenient location, lovely atmosphere and attentive service.. couldn't ask for more! The serving sizes do seem small when you first get it but with an appetizer it ended being the perfect size. Will be back for sure!

For those of you who used to frequent Typhoon, Thai Bloom is, IMHO, its reincarnation. The menu is similar and the flavors nearly identical - at least for the dishes I enjoy. The ample dining area is to the left of the entrance, but there is a bar area good for quick lunches or happy hour. I would give Thai Bloom five stars, except the service can be error prone and occasionally sluggish. The restaurant is often busy, but they do cater if you want them to come to you. They are a frequent lunch meeting choice at my office. Parking is a bit of a Wild Wild West feel since the lines have faded to nothing. People are lousy at parking even with lines, so you can imagine what happens without them! The addition of a brew pub next door doesn't help either. The food is well worth the minor hassles though.

This is one of our favorite restaurants in town. I have never had anything I disliked. I do have favorites and less favorites. The happy hour is great for small plates.

Ordered crying tiger and Bloom salad and it wasn't that big portion for the price. You probably need to order 3 items for two people there. The sauces were very tasty but spicy, so just make sure if your a spice light weight you order the dressing on the side. Service is okay, nothing great, but not that bad.

Mackenzie S.
I called and was on hold for about 7 minutes before someone spoke to me, so that was a little frustrating. The food took about 63 minutes to be delivered. It also wasn't very good, extremely bland. The pot stickers were pretty good though. Not a bad experience, but not a swell one either.

My friends and I usually come here for their all day happy hour on Sunday's. - They have a good selection ranging from $2-$5 and a decent drink menu. - Their regular menu has good variety and is reasonably priced. - Great service by the staff, when a dish was too spicy for a friend they offered to fix it so he could continue to enjoy it.

Joe C.
I'd heard good things about this place, but was disappointed. On a Sunday afternoon, the apparent supervisor seemed to wish she were elsewhere, finally told me to take a seat in the bar. Service was lackadaisical, the food pricy for Thai. They did not ask what spice level I wanted (I lived in Asia many years and like it native) so what I got was bland, certainly not as good as many other Thai restaurants in the area. Maybe they were just tired from the Sunday lunch rush, I don't know. But nothing about that experience made me want to go back.

We ate dinner here on a recommendation from our Portland friends. My friend's wife is a Thai national and told us this place was one of her favorites. The food was excellent! We had Ginger Chicken, Cashew Chicken and Garlic Pork. All dishes were perfectly cooked and very flavorful with a good amount of vegetables included. Presentation was nice and the food was hot. So why not 5 stars? Service. We were quickly seated and our orders taken, but it became slow as others have pointed out. We were ready for a check for at least 15 minutes before our waitress finally drifted by again. If they solve the service issues this place would be 5 stars without question. If you go, be patient and enjoy the excellent food when it arrives.

Julie S.
Food: great! Had the papaya salad, spring roll and pad Thai. Stressed mild for the pad Thai and it was fine. Papaya salad was my favorite! Cool, refreshing, with just the right amount of heat. Service: inconsistent. One person gave us water, another brought our food so had no idea who ordered what, and a third person took our payment. I used my yelp check-In for a free coconut ice cream. My friend asked for one too, that she would pay for, and it never came. She wasn't charged so that's good but he didn't listen.

Wow, I'm not even sure where to start. I've loved Thai bloom since they have opened and return here often. This review is not about the food- which is top notch and delicious. This is about the service we received today. First, we ordered 5 things. All of which came out at different times. Could not even eat your ribs with your rice or noodles because they came out at least 15 minutes away from each other. Second, our noodles were cold. Third, they didn't even bring us our rice-ever. Fourth, they brought our ice cream desert out before they even finished bringing all of our dinner food. Full plates and all. Fifth, they never once checked on us and asked how we were doing. I don't know why the service was so off today but it's very disappointing. Hopefully it was a off day and not something to be repeated.

Great food! Awesome Happy Hour Specials!!! Only thing is the bar side is very lively/noisey.....don't mind but just FYI. Also, Happy Hour specials only available here....not part of regular restaurant seating. 2nd time here and food was just as good if not better!! Looking forward to round 3!

Very tasty, certainly holds its own against the way too many Thai places around. Food is well presented. Low rating is because the menu prices are too high, not a good value compared to the others.

This place just keeps getting better. My wife and I love their happy hour menu. We can darn near stuff ourselves for 20 bucks. It's on all day Sunday. Priced right, delicious food, good variety of items, and good portion sizes. Try the spicy chicken with basil. Excellent!

Food is awesome, atmosphere is nice... but definitely not something we can afford to do often. Last time we went, there were 7 of us. We were seated at a smallish set of tables and then easily moved when more space opened up. That was nice. The service is good, just not really affordable.to do often.

Thai Bloom- one of the many Thai restaurants near the movie theater on Cedar Hills Boulevard. The pad thai is always the first thing I order at a new Thai restaurant; it makes a great "test" dish for comparison. The pad thai here was good, arrived quickly, and was comparable in price to most other places. Service was decent for a busy Friday night. I was actually surprised at how busy they were.

OK, without a doubt, the cheapest (without sacrificing quality) happy hour in downtown Portland. I'm not an expert on Thai cuisine, so purists need to try it for themselves, but in comparison to the rest of the Thai restaurants I've eaten at, this has to be near the top, both in ambiance and the quality of food. I'll be here at least once a week. Update: they put up their prices, no longer the cheapest. But still decent.

This is by far one of the best Happy Hours in the area. Make sure to be patient as they get packed with a fun and vibrant crowd. The staff are friendly and attentive to your needs. I recommend sitting in the bar area or patio. The food quality and portions exceed expectations.

Its not like theres a shoryage of Thai restaurants in Beaverton, so finding one that stands out is is hard to find. Thai Bloom is that place! We showed up with no reservations and a party of five on Valentine's at 8pm. They were very gracious and the hostess found us a table in about 10 minutes. Our waiter, Alex, was prompt, courteous and knowledgeable. As usual, the food was excellent. We ordered the Pad Thai, the Tom Yum soup, and Pad SE Ew. Everything came to the table piping hot. They also run specials when you check in on Yelp, so make sure you look for an offer. We ended up with the coconut ice cream. A fabulous way to end a really good meal.
Not the best Thai food I've had but definitely not the worst. They have two entrances- one for the bar and one for the actual restaurant. The bar was quite noisy. Our waitress only checked on us once and we were seated by the door- it was very cold. The food was good- not the best, but good. I liked their Thai iced tea and they had yummy ice cream. I don't know if we'll be back again. Did not seem worth the price.

Happy hour here is pretty awesome. It gets a little busy, but the servers have been very gracious for all the running around they do. My family is gluten free and this was a friendly experience for us. It was easy to know which meals were available for us and the staff actually seems to know when we ask questions about ingredients. One of the great Thai restaurants in the area!

WOW! WHAT FLAVORS! Thats the first thing that comes to mind when i think and speak about this place. Ive stopped in a few times for lunch with other from work and i always go away happy. This time in i was with just my wife. She LOVES Thai food. I on the other hand am not a big fan. I have to be in the mood, and it has always been hit and miss for me. Well this place is for sure a HIT. We had some cream cheese won tons that were perfectly cooked. Not overdone so they taste burnt, there are several places guilty of this. And the won tons were fresh. How can one tell? Ever had one that had a crunch, but was kind of chewy? Didnt break clean and crisp like a potato chip? Thats old won tons. My wife ordered the yellow curry with chicken, and i got a ginger chicken. Seriously, both were top notch. Lots of places do curry, and its easy to make, but not easy to do well. This had body, and a multitude of flavors that lots of places lack. You could taste the curry, and its not overwhelming. The coconut is there adding a creaminess to it. Honestly, when i think of a curry, this is what i think of and expect but rarely get. The ginger chicken was also a winner. Great flavor without overpowering, and had the right amount of spice. Had to take some home just to have it for lunch! We also got the mango sticky rice which is something we both love. And again, this place does a SMASHING job! The people are very nice. Service was excellent. Lord even the iced tea was super tasty. On a date night, i will gladly come here with the wife. I can see kids enjoying it here as well, but if they dont already like Thai flavors (which myne dont) , you would be better off at another place. But if you like Thai, GOOD Thai, you should be coming here.

If I could give this place negative stars, it would be in the range of -10. We arrive at Thai bloom, order drinks had to re-request to get our drinks and waited 30 minutes for Thai iced teas. People were seated a half hour after us and we're served their food, ate it and left in the time it took us to still get nothing. We ordered soup as an appetizer, that took a half hour to come and it was freezing. By this point the table who are and left now had new people at it who had already gotten food!!!!! Our waitress would purposely avoid our table because she had no idea what was ever going on. We asked her several times where or food was and she said it would be right out. Time after time of asking our food was still not coming out. We asked other waitresses, the hostess and no one knew what was going on without food. After an hour of waiting we finally flagged down our waitress and said we just wanted our food to go. She said, ok it's ready I'll bring it right out. We waited another 15 minutes and she brought it out, but mentioned one of the meals STILL WASNT READY! We waited another 5 minutes got our food and got the hell out of there All in all this was the worst restaurant experience I've ever had and I will never go back.

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. The worst of times is that this was absolutely the slowest service I've ever gotten. Appetizer came out 50 minutes after I ordered it!!! Drinks were slow to be refilled. Just terrible service. The best of times is that this was by far the best drunken noodle that I have ever had. That's my go to dish whenever I try a new place out and this place did it perfectly. Great portions and very good spice to it. The food here is probably a 5 but the service was terrible so meeting in the middle and giving it three stars.

Still a favorite! We've now been back and are still loving Thai Bloom. The fried rice is something we've tried since our initial visit, and man is it good. The rice has incredible flavor, and is cooked to perfection along with a crispy variety of vegetables like bok choy, broccoli, carrots, cucumber, tomatoes, and your protein of choice. There are 3 in house made hot sauces to go along with meals. The chili paste sauce with the fried rice is just heaven. Makes my mouth sing with happiness. The "special" hot wings are still amazing, as well as the pot stickers. Along with the fried rice we have since tried the salad rolls. Oh my gosh, they are also shockingly good. Fresh ingredients, and just the right amount of everything in a flawless little roll. The Thai Peanut sauce that comes with the salad rolls is also perfection. We do something at Thai Bloom that we don't at most restaurants. That is only order apps, and a side dish. Thai Bloom does such an astoundingly good job with the basics like pot stickers and wings, we rarely make it to the main menu!

We ordered a mostly vegetarian meal: - vegetarian salad rolls - fried calamari - tom yom soup - thai iced tea - seasonal IPA - papaya salad - pumpkin curry - pad thai (tofu) - side of sticky rice - side of brown rice - coconut ice cream - fried banana dessert Great Pad Thai! The fried banana dessert was also very good, and unique. Friendly service, too. Would definitely come back.

Solid place for happy hour in the Beaverton area. Portions of food items are good. However their cocktails are very very weak - didn't seem like there was hardly any alcohol. One point of confusion - they have two entrances, one leading into the main dining area and the other for the bar. If you walk in the bar entrance, you must walk around to where the other door is to check in with the hostess before sitting. Didn't know this the first time and my friend and I just stood around waiting for someone to greet us.

This was my last day in Oregon and we were craving some Thai food. The ambiance of this place impressed me as soon as I walked the in. The Garlic Pork was pretty good, a little dry, but the flavor of the sauce is what made it special. Lastly the coconut ice cream was amazing. I suggest everyone try that! Way to cap off my last meal in Oregon!

The Tom Ka kai soup was amazing. I wanted to bath in it. Curries were warming and creamy. cashew chicken good but light on chicken. Service was fantastic, attentive but not over bearing. The price was steep but we had a great meal.

It gets crowded on the evening but with good reason, the food is excellent. I haven't ordered pad thai in years because it's usually terrible and full of ketchup, yuck, but here it was very very tasty and seemed to be sans ketchup. Te pad se ew was also very good as was the duck and well just about everything we had. We did have to wait about 25 mins for a party of four, so I suggest you expect that or make reservations.

I ordered to go but I will definitely eat at the restaurant next time. The order took about 20 min. It was really busy when I came to pick up the food (Friday evening at 7pm). I ordered Panang curry with chicken and papaya salad with prawns. The curry was creamy and spiced just right. The papaya salad was pretty good. The prawns came with the salad on skewers (I've always had papaya salad with the shrimp mixed into the salad so this was different for me). Overall, the food was excellent! I will be coming back for sure!

We've had delivery from here twice now, the first time was awesome, loved the food. Ordered the exact same thing (chicken pad Thai) but this second time it didn't taste like anything. I could taste the chicken and I could taste the noodles and the medium spice I asked for but not the pad Thai taste. We called and got the pad Thai taken off, so it was a pleasant experience. Was craving that pad Thai though. Update: they're sending new pad Thais over :) yay!! Thank you to the manager :D

This place is INCREDIBLE! The always-lively restaurant is proof. Went there 2 times in one day even. I'm a former Typhoon lover and was so heartbroken when they closed! Thai Bloom is the result of the failed Typhoon, taking their kitchen and even a few wait staff members to create this new and improved version. But this place might even be better, if that's possible! Great chicken satay and Panang curry with beef. Not many Thai places provide sufficient beef in their curries, but this place nails if with quality and taste. A must-try!

Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free friendly deliciousness Thai food! If you fall in between those dietary categories, you won't be disappointed! The menu is set up so you can easily see the icons of what can be order vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free. Thai tea kicker with vanilla and alcohol was pretty good. The portions are pretty good, I always have left overs. Overall I have always had great service and food in this place.

Faith G.
Delicious food! They have a great happy hour as well. I love to order a little bit of everything and they make it affordable! $3 for tom yum soup with a great amount of your choice of meat, $6 great portion of drunken noodles, and $5 for the oh-so-good beef salad! My only complaint is the service when it is busy (which is always during happy hour.) they also never fail to bring out plates one by one, leaving some at the table waiting and watching as others receive their plates--awkward! I had 1 bad experience while with my family and husband where we waited over 45 min for our dinner. But the food is so good... So we return :)

1.5 hours for deliver, AND "sometimes it's up to 2.5 hours". On what planet? Prime example of poor biz skills in a 2015 environment. Too bad because food is very good andcserbice has always been great as well. Perhaps a one-off last night.

I've dined in twice before and loved the food both times. This last time, I was in the area and ordered carry out during lunch time. I just got an order of pad thai, since my little kids were with me and sitting in seemed too much of a task. My toddler cant handle spicy so I ordered a regular pad thai with chili sauce on the side. When I went to pick it up after the lady told me it would be a 25 minute wait, I went in 20 minutes, the food was sitting there. The lady at the front desk was a bit short and not very friendly. She stated my total which was $8.95 , ran my card and walked off leaving the receipt on the counter to sign. ( oh and I should mention before walking off she stated your food is behind you on the counter sitting there) I thought she was going to come back to take the restaurant signed copy but she did not. I grabbed my food and quickly took a look at to verify. It looked ok but it was not very hot like it had been sitting there a while. When we got home the food was pretty cold by then and I live about 10 minutes away which was still not bad but when I tried it the flavor just tasted very overpowering of fish sauce. Also there was no chili sauce on the side. It was definitely not the best chicken pad thai I've had and there was a very strong bitterness about it I could not point out what. My toddler who usually loves pad thai did not like it at all, and kept complaining it tasted weird. Unfortunately this experience was not the best given the unfriendly staff, mediocre food, and forgetting the sauce on the side. Maybe their carry out is not the best choice for this place and its only worth it if you have time to sit in and dine. or since I haven't been here in over 6 months maybe the quality of food has gone down. I'm not sure which it is, either way I know I won't be back for a while. I loved when they were Typhoon by the way. Unfortunately this last experience fail to impress me.

Very happy to find a nice, clean, and delish Thai restaurant in Beaverton. I had a curry with shrimp that had nice flavors and a perfect amount of spicy for me over brown rice. The shrimp were a medium size with tails so kind of hard to eat. My husband and son shared the Pad Thai with chicken and beef noodle dish (he requested extra spice but could still have more) neither came spicy so ask for extra if you like spice! Overall a good find with a nice clean decor. We sat at the bar and the service was fine but they needed extra help as he was very busy making drinks for the restaurant which all looked really good. We will come back to check out happy hour!

Thai Bloom is amazing! There are so few places in Beaverton that cater to vegan folk, so it's nice that it's easy to have different food restrictions than most. The tofu Pad See Ew is always amazing.

This one is going to be tricky. We went there twice and the first time was 5 star worthy. The second time however...barely 3 stars. We feel the biggest difference was the service. I'm still looking for the receipt from our first visit to get the name of the server. She was terrific! Very professional, polite, knowledgeable, and attentive. She's a skinny dark haired lady with an accent. I wish I knew her name. :/ Anyway, she knew exactly what she was doing. The second time...ugh...our server's name was Chelsea. She had no concept of what vegan was (even though it's clearly on their menu). At one point we ordered the salad rolls vegan version and she seriously asked, "so prawns or tofu?" O.o Really? We also ordered the spinach wraps (which were sorely disappointing vegan or not) and she brought out this brown sauce which not only tasted like there was honey in it but possibly some kind of fish sauce. To top it off, that dish came out with some kind of shrimp on it. She took it back and they made another but did not replace the shrimp/prawns with anything. We should have been told that before we ordered it. Then we ordered the pineapple fried rice and was brought the Thai fried rice instead. We had not ordered either before so we had put some on our plates. When she was walking by I asked, "Isn't there supposed to be pineapple in this?" She said that we ordered the Thai fried rice. We told her we did not. She grabbed the fried rice and I asked if she wanted us to put back what was on our plates. She said it doesn't matter because they have to throw it away anyway! Yikes! She should have left the Thai fried rice and brought us the pineapple fried rice too. That would have been proper customer service...especially considering all the mistakes she was making beyond the fried rice. The icing was that she NEVER asked us how we were doing but asked other tables around us how they were doing. She was clearly upset with us for her mistakes. She either needs serious re-training or she needs to go work at McDonald's.

Great Thai food. We went with a big group and majority of people ordered and loved the drunken chicken noodles. Basil fried rice and green curry were also really good! You can adjust your spice level, so it caters to all tastes. We will be back for more awesome Thai food!

The food was actually good but I was not impressed with the service. We went there for Happy Hour and they forgot one of our items. After we inquired about it they said it would be right out that was 15 minutes later. They didn't even apologize for it.

Irene S.
The food here is not my favorite, the only reason I come here so often is because my boyfriend loves the food here. It is a bit on the pricier end and I prefer to come for the happy hour. The drunken noodles are probably my favorite dish here.

Rachel C.
An absolute favorite Thai eatery! And with a new location off NW 23rd, even more accessible throughout Portland! This is where I go when I want other delicacies beyond Pad Thai. The food is always fresh and impressive. Sundays happy hour is served all day long! They have fancy and tasty cocktails, but this is a hh to hit up for small plates. Here you can indulge in exotic variety. Inside is sophisticated yet very inviting for any occasion including an impromptu lunch. Service has always been very attentive and kind. They value and appreciate their customer's experience. Keep growing Thai Bloom, you're doing it right.

Kelsey E.
I could eat Thai food a couple times a week- okay probably more. I'm giving the Thai Bloom the A-OK for now, but I feel like I'm going to give it another shot and try it again soon. I am a noodle and spice lover, and the evening that we went I tried something different than my typical orders and was pretty underwhelmed. Service was friendly, but we counted and we had at least 3/4 people checking in on us, it seemed like there was a little confusion on who had our table. The place was busy though, lots of people coming in and some people ordering take out. The veggies I ordered were cooked well, where I thought my meat was tough and over cooked. Sauces were great though!

Callum S.
Ordered Pad Thai with no peanuts, it came with peanuts. Thats not the annoying part, that happens all the time and isn't a big deal. What was annoying was it was a to go order, and when we phoned to get a new batch or refund we were told we were liars and asked to drive down and prove it. 10 mins of arguing later we eventually got a refund.

We had attended to other priorities in the area, and (at 2:15PM) it was well past time for lunch. Thai Bloom had been highly recommended in the past, and this was a fine opportunity to stop in! Timing favored us; the restaurant was relatively uncrowded. We were pleasantly greeted and promptly seated. I ordered the cashew chicken and fried rice. My wife ordered a stir fry chicken dish with brown rice. Neither of these were overpoweringly spicy; they were well seasoned and very well prepared, and we enjoyed every bite! Noise levels permitted conversation without competition from nearby tables. Our server was very attentive and professional. It was a fine luncheon experience, and we hope to return for dinner. I would recommend Thai Bloom for families, for small business lunches (parties of 2-4).

Best thai food ever. The grilled salmon with green curry is excellent. Spicy and cooked so well. Kudos. A slice of fresh coconut on the salmon is the best ever. The taste is so good. You will want more of that tender coconut.

****HAPPY HOUR REVIEW**** My first HH experience was awesome (thanks to a fantastic waitress). We came here to celebrate a co-workers going away party. I didn't know how many to expect so we started with a table of 6. Myself and another gal ordered first while waiting for others to show up. At one point, our table was full and the table next to ours was occupied. The waitress asked the customers next to us if they wouldn't mind moving to another table so everyone at our end could be together. The customers next to us didn't mind which made the transition really smooth. The waitress we had was super sweet, down to earth and awesomely friendly. I couldn't remember her name but she had short brown hair. The Happy Hour prices are pretty good considering the amount of food. I shared the following plates with a friend: - Chicken Larb Salad - good salad but a little too spicy. Next time I order this, I'll have to ask them to lessen the peppers. -Drunken Noodles w/chicken - you can never go wrong with this option. -Chicken Skewers (can't remember the name) - chicken has great flavor and it's super tender In addition, I had a fruit drink with fresh mangos (forgot the name too). Overall, the ambience and atmosphere was fun and relaxing. I definitely would return to try their other HH items.

Tri ed this place for HH a long time ago under old management and it was good. Went back today for lunch time. Was impressed with the service (can be seen as 5-10min slower than normal) during the busy lunch rush. Pad Thai with tofu did not have as much tofu in it although the amount of veggies was proportional. Display of the dish was part of what made it much more enjoyable. Try their roasted rice tea (can't remember the real name) if you're into tea. It has a unique flavor that is rather refreshing - can't describe. Best, most amazing homemade coconut icecream!!! Must try. Restaurant also has a bar side so could be a plus :) Great menu with identifying alternatives that could be made (gluten free, vegan, level of spicyness,etc.).

Went on a Saturday night, about a 20 min wait for a table for four. Bar area was pretty noisy and we found ourselves shouting at each other. I got the crackling duck and it was AMAZING. Perfectly done and the sauce was a great blend of sweet and spicy. Ordered the coconut ice cream for dessert and was pleasantly surprised. It was very light and not overly sweet. We will be going there again soon.

I had heard great things about Thai Bloom and was really disappointed. We ordered takeout at my office (just three people) and were told it would be ready for pickup at 11:15. I arrived at 11:15 on the dot--food wasn't ready, but no problem, I'd rather it be hot anyway :). I stood and responded to some work emails. At around 11:25 I politely checked in with the hostess, who said it would be up any minute. Meanwhile a few other people with numbers after mine came in and picked up food. At 11:35 I was getting a little frustrated and again very politely checked in with the hostess, who told me it was the salad rolls we ordered which were taking so long. Huh? Keep in mind I placed the order at 10:45. Long story short, they didn't bring my food out until 11:45. I was about to tell the hostess to forget about it when they finally brought it out. The person who brought it to me pushed it into my hands and walked away, no apology. I was not offered any kind of discount or even really an apology for the wait. After all that the food was cold and really nothing special. Maybe I was just there on an off day, but I work in the customer service industry--when mistakes happen, we do everything to make it right with the customer, and they didn't even really seem to care. With so many other Thai options in the area, we will not be back.

Love going here on Sunday for their all day happy hour prices. Good food and good times. And the free home made ice cream is icing on the cake!

So i went to thai bloom because i wanna try different thai resto around beaverton! Well good reviews and so we tried! We liked the place! Big and roomy! Nice and friendly waiters! So i tried chicken tom yum well it looks yummy And i like the clear soup. Taste is good but it can be better! No strong lime flavour and basically just few pieces chicken and cherry tomatoes. Main dishes came out! Pad ped mu and green curry Honestly i was shocked bout my pad ped! It was so plain and little for 15 dollars. Taste? Just like soy sauce stir fry! No authentic thai flavours at all. I was really dissapointed about my orders. Green curry is average! But my friends liked it because there was a coconut in the curry! I think it is better than my pad ped! Good thing? My friend said the food quality is good and well cooked! He liked the mushroom so much! I dont think i will come back here because it is too pricey

Really enjoyed this place. Surprisingly packed on a Thursday night. Great bar on one side and dining on the other. Great that I was able to enjoy an extremely filling dinner as well as watch the NBA finals. Redeemed my free coconut dessert to top off the night. Next time I'm craving quality Thai in Beaverton I'm not thinking twice.

I tried this place out yesterday with my friend. It was very tasty. First time trying Thai food, I will be definitely be going back to try other dishes. I had the drunken noodles , my friend had the yellow curry (vegan style), we would definitely recommend this place. Their juries are amazing they taste so natural. And the staff is really nice plus the dish work is gotgeous! :)

Great food. That's the only reason they get two stars. HORRIBLE service. I mean, terrible. I've been to this location several times. I waited 15 min for anyone to come to my table. Meanwhile, I saw servers going to tables multiple times who had arrived AFTER me. Second, I was charged 6.99 for a well rum and thai iced tea. Really????????? I understand it was thai tea but that's the mixer. When you create a mix, it should be a "built drink"... meaning you have less mixer than if you just ordered that plain. If I ordered a rum and coke I guess it would be $6? Terrible. No one apologized for the extreme wait or being ignored beyond what was reasonable. It seemed the servers were running back and forth but doing nothing.

Robert G.
Best of all is check in and get one free item. Bring a friend with their yelp Place is not busy Sunday at 2;44 pm. Chicken wings are amazing. I ordered the crab pad thai and did not like it. The drunken noodles are delicious. My friend went hell crazy over the pineapple curry. I liked it but I was scared watching him eat it. I ordered the coconut vodka, fresh lime juice cocktail special and it was delicious enough to go buy the ingredients and serve it at home. Great place. Highly recommend it.

Amy B.
I love finding great places to dine in the burbs. Thai Bloom has great food and a great space. Up front is very modern, even Portlandia style. In the back its much more like a plain dining room, but the tables are so spread out it's a great place for a lunch meeting or just being with friends without feeling like you are sitting right on top of your neighbors. I ordered the Pad Se Ew and it was a large serving and was really good. I will definitely be back. Also I checked in with Yelp and got a free Coconut ice cream. I am not a huge fan of ice cream, but thought I would at least try it. This was so good I ate the whole thing. Great lunch spot.

I was pretty sure I reviewed this place, I think I reviewed it when it was Thai Derm, but I'll review it again- it is in fact a different business. I have only been there for a few times but the food is amazing! Not your run of the mill Thai food. The chef is excellent which is represented in the food. So delicious and enticing. The most interesting thing of course was this place gaining a FULL bar, they have an awesome HH which I had the fortune to partake in last night. I highly recommend. The food they have for HH is just right, good choices and just enough the wet the palate! Definitely going to get on some HH here before the summer end!

Thai bloom was recommended by a friend and living on the west side of town where the selection of good restaurants isn't as plentiful we had to try. The happy hour is great and all Sunday is happy hour. Between two of us we had 5 dishes and four glasses of wine and it came to just under $30! The tom kah soup is fabulous and when poured over their jasmine rice... Omg. The atmosphere is nice and makes it feel like you're not in to he suburbs. I can't, however, say it's the best thai food I've ever had bet a definite solid choice. The only other negative is the bathroom temperature. Ever time I've gone it is comparable to a sauna in there... Not sure why but definitely uncomfortable.

I've been here about 3 times now because the food is so good and I plan to go again!. Low points would be that the seating is hard and uncomfortable, prices are a bit high.

The waitress was AWFUL. She was passive aggressive, short and rude. She would correct us when ordering and make snide comments. She treated my friend and I like children who have never eaten out at a restaurant before. She was a poor communicator, it took us five minutes to explain to her we were ready to order, and when I ordered three happy hour items she said "oh but you're already getting these two things"...ummm excuse me I am building your bill. I loved all the food to bad the service SUCKED. And as a server I cringed the entire time talking to her for being such a unbearable waitress. She needs a job outside of customer service because I will not go back because of her.

This is a gem of a Thai restaurant. Location: okay, it's way out there in Beaverton - on Cedar Hills Blvd at Westgate, in a little brick strip mall across from the BMW dealer. It is way better than the dozen Thai restaurants I've tried in central Portland though so it's worth the trip. Ambiance: This is the other reason (besides the food) that this place gets and deserves high ratings. It doesn't feel like a dive in fact the opposite. There is tons of parking, a nice central bar and plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. The place is clean and the wait staff are very friendly. 5 stars for all this. Menu: The menu is refreshingly varied and unlike the standard list of classic dishes you see everywhere else. For this alone it is special. But they also have original dishes made with seasonal ingredients and more fresh vegetables. They have a number of salads you will not find anywhere else. They have a seasonal menu (spring-summer or fall-winter) and they have a happy hour menu. The menu uses a symbol system for the hot factor, and the food is on the mild side. I(f you are looking for very hot Thai food, go to Baan Thai in downtown Portland.) Food Rating: I give the food 4 1/2 stars. We got a 'summer special' tempura asparagus salad that was spectacular. . Nicely trimmed dark greens, pulled chicken, shrimp and the melt in your mouth tempura asparagus. All perfectly dressed with a fresh and mildly spicy dressing. The waterfall steak salad was also excellent - tender spicy hot beef w fresh scallions over large romaine leaves. This one is Paleo perfect! The Tom Kha soup was flavorful with lots of green beans, mushrooms, etc. but the coconut was too thick and rich and it was missing the tartness of lime and lemongrass. This was the only real disappointment. The crab pad thai was sublime. The generous crab was lightly breaded and grilled I think - fresh and still hot. The egg also was not overcooked, still tender. The chicken was excellent quality, not dry. It was clearly just made for us. We look forward to going again soon and I may update the food info. If you don't live there, find an excuse to go to Beaverton and try this place. Just don't do it during rush hour.

Great food awful customer service! Their has been two times they forgot my drink. Today it also took a woman 10 minutes to take my delivery ignoring me and talking to someone else in the background. All I can say is rude...

We love this restaurant. Firstly, we love Thai food, but you know how tricky it can be to find just the RIGHT restaurant that makes food you like. We have several food allergies, too, which make eating at most restaurants pretty much out of the question. (corn, gluten, msg, dairy) But we can eat here! You can let them know what your food allergies are, and their menu even already says which items are specifically gluten-free, which is awesome. The food is fresh, delicious, and the portions are abundant. The staff is completely accommodating and always has friendly smiles. One thing to note: if you have children in your party, because the food is fresh, it DOES take awhile to make. not a big deal if you're adults, because you can wait, but with hungry kiddos, it can be tricky. Just plan accordingly, because the food is worth the wait for the rest of us. Even my impatient 8-year-old thinks so - this is his favourite Thai restaurant, and he is the one who requests we go there most of the times we go.

Came here based on the rave reviews. A bit of wait on a Sat night for a table of 2. Long lineup for bigger parties without reservation (30min wait). Parking is ample. Has a big LCD screen showcasing their dishes right at the restaurant's entrance waiting area; a rather smart biz tactic as ppl are more willing to try new food when they know how it looks like. May be that is how they draw ppl to the restaurant despite the food is just a-ok by Portland standards. Food: A-ok. Ordered Papaya salad and Pad Kee Mao. Both were tasty but had no special kick. Didn't wow us. Portion is on the big side; great for sharing. Not enough basil in the Kee Mao to enhance the dish aroma. The salad used too much fish sauce and didn't quite balance out the palm sugar, so it ended up being a bit too salty. The fried bananas dessert was disappointing; its batter coating was so thick and over fried, and it pitifully came with only 4 short strips of fried bananas - each split in half - that is only 1 whole banana was being used in the making of this dish. Given bananas are relatively cheap, why cannot they put more in as supposed to cheat & fill the plate up with fried coconuts - which was not even part of the dish description. If we didn't have the cup of free coconut ice-cream from checking-in on Yelp, we wouldn't be able to chew any of these down. Atmosphere: Clean & decent. Good for groups. Lot families visited when we were there. Service: Slow in general, but consider it was a Sat night full house, it is considered acceptable. Price: Comparable to other thai places in town. Verdict: Had better Thai else there. Don't know what the rave is all about.

Picked up our CSA share and looked at all the veggies that needed preparing. It made me tired. Hmm. Lets go out for Thai! Previously Thai Bloom had contacted me through Yelp and asked me to come in and try them I didn't like that so I held out for a long time. Hubby reminds me that I don't get to be anonymous on here because its public. I should get over myself. So we went. The verdict? 3.5. Maybe 3.75. Just shy of a 4 for us. The restaurant inside is beautiful. Far nicer than it was when it was Thai Derm. The service was efficient and reserved. It felt a little formal. The dishes were pretty to look at. This is what we ordered: Seafood cream cheese wonton.( crunchy with tamarind sauce) Panang curry with chicken.( nice veggies tasty curry) Bbq pork with egg noodles.( pork, egg noodles, two steamed shrimp dumplings,a crispy wonton, some greens, a scatter of crushed red pepper all in a clump) Pineapple fried rice with tofu. ( not much rice, oodles of veggies and pineapple) Chicken satay with cucumber salad and steamed white rice for Princess. ( all very nice, cucumber salad large and delicious) Raspberry lemon drop (2, these were perfect and delicious) Pineapple express (booze and fruit juices) Thai iced tea (2, Princess inhaled hers) Total $80 This was a fairly expensive dinner and yes we had beverages and an appetizer, but the entrees were a tad more than our usual two Thai places. Really its a lovely place for a meal and the food was tasty. I think maybe we like our Thai a little less formal. But try it! They have outside tables and a sweet bar, too.

I finally got to try out Thai Bloom. It looks to be one of the better places to have Thai food in Beaverton where I work. I thought I would have another version of Kao Soi. It is a Northern Thai based dish. I had a great version at Mee Dee but it was a little too rich with coconut milk. Thai Bloom's wasn't as rich with a little more sour to it. I liked it but one qualm I had is I wish they would have thinner slices of the red onion in it. It is a very filling dish for those who haven't had it. It is must have. I also had the handmade coconut ice cream which is free with checking in on Yelp. It was also excellent. I see why the food along with the service gets it's 4.25 overall rating on Yelp.

Really enjoyed Happy Hour here. The portions were good and the prices even better. I sat immediately at the bar and noticed that it was indeed pretty crowded. Was nice to see they had a TV to watch the game on. Service was a touch slow as they seemed to have forgotten or just taken extra long to come out with my order of food. ORDER: Thai kicker drink - not overly sweet like a normal thai iced tea. Good blend with the vanilla vodka. Spicy basil chicken - good sized portion for HH. Plenty of green beans, peppers, basil, and chopped chicken. Overall was pretty good and not overly spicy. Tom Yum Soup - ordered the veggie version and didn't realize it came with huge chunks of tofu (should have asked). The soup was the highlight. Very flavorful broth. Tofu was so big though that it took up a lot of space in the small cup and therefore didn't get much actual soup. Coconut ice cream - Got the yelp check in deal. Was a small scoop of the ice cream with chocolate sauce and nuts. Quite good if you ask me. It was normally $4.95 on the menu...didn't seem like a big portion if that's the cost unless it was small just for the free deal. No biggie. Would recommend this place most definitely. Great Thai food for the area. Reasonable prices. They even let me take my HH food home which many places don't allow.

The food here is very good, but the call in and takeout times vary substantially. We waited over an hour last night for our takeout, which was promised in 20 minutes! Our meal last night overall was quite good: Garlic chicken 8/10 Drunken noodles 8/10 Pineapple curry 6/10 (way too salty, even for curry).

A Thai place that I am looking forward to visit again! Happy hour was a happy surprise for us! They have enough vegan options. Liked Tom Kha Soup ,Pad Thai and Spring Rolls. I highly recommend their Yellow Curry.Portion is good enough for two.We ended with coconut ice-cream which was yumm and had fresh strawberries on top. Very nice, quiet place and our server was very warm and helpful(best service in a Thai Restaurant so far). I will go again for their food and service!!

5 stars for service but the reason I gave this place 3 was because it was not authentic Thai nor spicy. In fact it was so opposite of spicy that it was sweet and we ordered it extra spicy with a side of fresh Thai chili from the back...still not spicy enough. They definitely cater to the American tastebuds. I ordered the Massaman Beef Curry, the ingredients were fresh and the quality of beef was great but it lacked in spice BIG TIME. My boyfriend ordered the Basil Chicken which he ordered extra spicy as well and though the ingredients were fresh it lacked flavor and again Spiciness. We also ordered the Papaya Salad and that was probably the sweetest I've ever had it, we actually asked them to remake it spicy like we had ordered it but still came back non spicy. I've worked in a Thai kitchen, one of my best friend is Thai and my boyfriend is Cambodian so maybe I just have high standards for Thai food...which is my favorite by the way. Sadly we will not be returning and our search for BOMB Thai continues!

Thai Bloom is a newer, authentic Thai restaurant in Beaverton. I understand that the Owner and some of the staff started it when Typhoon closed its doors. Their dishes are more traditional and authentic than most of the other Thai spots I have tried in town. The servers are friendly and helpful. I recommend the Panang Curry, Spicy Chicken Basil, and Lao-style Papaya Salad. You will not be disappointed!

Suyash K.
Food is pretty good and so is the wine. The menu is a little short so you don't get a very vast choice. But the taste covers up for this. Service is a little on the slower side - so if you have ample time, ho ahead without any second thoughts. I felt that the furniture needs to be maintained a bit too - like shaved edges of tables etc. On the whole, an average place with awesome food. I'd go again just for the taste.

Raj R.
With the variety of choices available for Thai Food, this place is worth a visit. Friendly staff and nice ambience. The only downside is the time it took for the food to arrive. I would recommend calling ahead of time to place your order. We have been doing this recently and enjoying a delicious lunch in less than an hour. Every item on their menu is tasty. Decent happy hour options as well.

OMG, I love this place. Just moved from CA Bay Area and was craving Thai food...are you kidding me?!?!?! The way they prepare their food is amazing. Nothing greasy; vegetables cooked well; yet to have a bad meal (LOVE the leftovers). Not familiar with the area, I had delivery (3-4 times so far). Delivery pricey to Tigard, but WHO CARES! I can never get enough of the "Bloomin' Fish"! Coming from the SF area, I've had panko fried Halibut (hmm), but theirs is AMAZING. Crispy on the outside; tender on the inside (isn't that a KFC phrase). I raved about this place so much that my beloved Oregonian friends (meticulous eaters) decided to try it. We actually went to the restaurant and THEY LOVED IT (shocker). I could go on and on about Thai Bloom (love the fried calamari; tofu; salad rolls; even a plain salad), but we all have our taste-buds loves, but try this place @ least once...guarantee you'll find something you love/like it. P.S. I usually don't ramble this much in reviews. :o)

Went during happy hour. We ordered four dishes and only one was decent. They use some weird seasoning on the pad thai and fried wings so it smells and tastes funky. The spinach dip is runny and they use cheap tortilla chips to boot. Bar tender was young and inexperienced. I usually dont write bad reviews but i was pretty disappointed w these guys. Proceed w caution.

Chris J.
Nice clean good restaurant. Some dishes are very good (5 stars) but some are just 2 stars. 5 stars dishes are like Masamarn beef, it takes a long time to cook this and Thai bloom did do the diligent. However, the duck dishes are disappointed, old, overnight, chewy duck on salad and others, to charge a premium price? Some good dishes disappeared - probably take more effort to make so they want to just retain easier, less time consuming and high profit dish. I hope they keep their effort in this instead of expanding so fast and lost the originality. A little pricier for the portion and type of food!

This place is one of my favorite Thai places in Beaverton. My favorite item here is the Tom Yum Noodles, but I order it "dry" so it's not brothy but instead has a concentrated flavor. I also really like the Spicy Basil Chicken as it has the perfect amount of spice, crispy basil leaves, and juicy chicken. The pineapple curry is also quite good but be sure to order something savory along with it as it can be quite sweet on it's own. Don't forget to check in to get their free homemade coconut ice cream. It's refreshing and delicious. There's usually a wait to get seated and the food can take longer than usual to come out as they're usually quite busy. Addition: some other awesome dishes I've tried... - Tom yum soup with prawns - miang kham: great flavorful appetizer - crab fried rice - drunken fish - papaya salad Lao style

Food was alright, nothing too crazy. If you have ever been to Eugene or went to UO, it's an upgrade from Tasty Thai. Service was super slow. We sat at the bar so maybe it might be better if we sat a table. The bartender wasn't too attentive to us but the bar back was really nice. There are definitely better Thai places out there.

My favorite place for happy hours in Beaverton and dog friendly too!! The staff treat Butters (my Pembroke corgi) like a special guest whenever I bring him along. The patio has umbrellas to protect us from the sun. And the staff are very attentive and always give us last call for happy hours. The food is spectacular. I love the fact that it's actually spicy for some dishes because I love spicy food. Tum yum soup is my favorite, but my friends love the tum kha soup more. To each their own. There's so many options. You can definitely find something you like here. I highly recommend this place.

Delicious. Visited on Sunday with my wife and 2-year-old. Ordered from the happy hour menu (happy hour all day on sunday). The place was busy, but the food still came within half hour. The crowd was eclectic. Many races and ages. Families, dates, friends. We ordered seaweed salad spicy chicken wings pad thai with chicken papaya salad beef salad a draft beer I've had take-out from thai bloom before a few times and it was okay. But the food today, in house, was delicious. The pad thai noodles were perfectly cooked. The sauce was not sweet. The chicken tasted grilled. My daughter and wife loved the seaweed salad. Not fishy at all. The beef was flavorful. My wife said it was too tough, but I thought it was not. She liked the wings. There was a high-chair for my baby. The entire meal was $25. Felt like a great deal. In the future I will try harder to not sit where my toddler can see the TV in the bar area, but you need to sit in the bar area to order from the happy hour menu.

Kris K.
Outstanding! The Crab Pad Thai was covered in crab meat and was a nice, fresh variation on the usual, the Ginger Ribs were meaty and flavorful, as were the Chicken Satay Skewers, and the Papaya Salad was beautifully presented and perfectly seasoned. What more could you ask for? Next I'll be back to try the Happy Hour Menu, with its small plates of all of the other things I wanted to try!
(5)
McKenzie D.
By far the best Thai food in the area. The papaya salad, drunken noodles, Pad Thai, pineapple curry, and cashew chicken are all great dishes. The high quality food here makes it hard to eat Thai from anywhere else. Definitely recommend!!!

Martin F.
Thai food as art - these guys do it well. I like the food, although it wouldn't be on the top 5 Thai places in the area, it is certainly very tasty. The setting is very classy - and the presentation was very well done. I went for my standard Panang Curry - I liked it - I asked for it hot and I felt like it was lacking in heat but still good. My friend tried the Pad See Ew with chicken and really enjoyed it. The service is prompt and friendly, very knowledgeable about their extensive menu. If you're looking for an upscale, classy dining experience with some tasty options, I would recommend this place quickly. For a more casual, less expensive option, you might want to keep looking. It was certainly good enough for me to go back again another time and see if I missed something. The menu is so extensive I feel like I should go away from my standards and give them another chance to wow me. I have a hunch I wouldn't be disappointed.

I don't ever find myself in Beaverton, and that's decidedly on purpose. I don't do well in Suburbia; all the malls and chains look the same to me. But in recent years, Beaverton has yielded some pretty sweet Asian eateries by word of mouth from the Portland foodies. It's not uncommon to hear material such as: "oh, our favorite sushi place is definitely in Hillsboro". Or "the only place we eat Thai is at this place in Beaverton, off of Cedar Hills." When they say that, they're talking about Thai Bloom. I was pleasantly surprised by this place! It's not in a strip mall, and it's what I'd loosely call "upscale Thai dining". It's obvious the owners have put a lot of thought and care into curating the restaurant's every detail. Nice linen napkins, low lighting, and a very inviting dining room that'd be perfect for either a date OR a nice family dinner. There's not very many places that can claim both of those atmospheres! Everything we had was delicious; I can't even pick out the "highlights". Pork and ginger potstickers? Heavy on the ginger and downright delicious. Chicken lettuce cups? NOT dripping with excessive fish sauce (like!), and super crunchy and tasty. A pumpkin curry as a winter seasonal offering? You bet your ass I ordered that. Ill be back to sample their other traditional Thai dishes. I just can't turn down a pumpkin curry. It's one of those things where if it's on the menu, anywhere, ill order it regardless. Thai Bloom, why are you all the way in Beaverton? Sigh. Ill just have to make the trek. This could be my new fave Thai food crush.

Delicious Thai food!!! We found this place on yelp and the reviews did not disappoint. I have celiac disease and have to eat gluten free...there are a TON of gluten free options here! Everything is clearly marked on the regular menu. I've never gotten sick after eating here. Must try if you love Thai food!

My review is purely based on the happy hour - One word = Amazing. ESPECIALLY for Sunday when it was ALL-DAY-LONG. OH YEAH! Menu includes an array of food ranging between $2-6 and drinks between $3-5. The food was delicious and they don't skimp on sizes. We ordered: - Chicken pad thai - Pork drunken noodles - Tom kha soup - Beef salad Chicken pad thai was good, but wasn't extraordinarily different from any other pad thai I've had. Pork drunken noodles were decent, but I felt that the noodles were overly soft. Tom kha soup was a bit too thick for my liking and the chicken was dry. However, the beef salad was the star of our meal! They open at 11a on Sunday. Park on the West side of the building to be closer to the bar entrance as happy hour is only served there.

This is a really nice place. Their chicken red curry was really awesome, however their pai thai was bland and the tofu was not properly fried. I was also not a fan of their wonton soup which I also found to be pretty bland. Overall the food was ok

Deja vu, that unexplainable feeling that somehow you've been here before... or seen this menu and eaten these drunken noodles before. Yes, Typhoon has been reincarnated as Thai Bloom... without the slave-labor in the kitchen we assume. It's not the same ownership; they fled the country. But it is the same water glasses and, more importantly, some of the same cooks... presumably those in the country legally... or at least willfully. Typhoon was a favorite of mine and any of my friends. We were shocked, outraged when the behind-the-scenes goings-on were revealed. But, we were also, selfishly, sad to loose that great food. So, we were delighted to visit Thai Bloom and find so many of our old favorites faithfully recreated. My personal Typhoon favorite was Drunken Noodles with Beef and Mushrooms. I rationed myself allowing myself to have it only every-other time. Well, I can't remember where I was in that regime, so I decided to allow myself to begin anew. The Drunken Noodles was perfect... but the mushrooms -- while good -- fell short if Typhoon's high standards. In their defense, the mushroom option was not on the menu and the waiter agreed to do it specially for me. In that light, it was very good. Lunch prices are about $10. The service is good. And the big windows make the dining room light and airy, a welcome change from Typhoon's dark decor. So, if you liked Typhoon, if you like good Thai-style food, head to Thai Bloom!

We went for happy hour and were promptly seated, even though the place was packed. We ordered the orange spare ribs, calamari, veggie spring rolls, fried rice, and edamame. The Thai tea cocktail I ordered had more liquor than not, and was delicious. We got all of this for less than $30. The food was authentic tasting but with a modern spin and it came out quick and hot. We will definitely be back.
Typhoon is back! Yah, love this place. It is pretty much EXACTLY the same menu, same chefs, etc. as Typhoon used to be. For those of us who absolutely LOVED Typhoon, you'll love this. All the same. Just basically changed company name. For those of you who haven't been here, WOW! You're missing out. Most amazing food in Beaverton. Plus, they deliver to all over in Beaverton for a really great price!!! Although they only have limited number of drivers so sometimes they can't do a delivery for a long time. Call early in the evening if you want delivery. Anyway, our family's favs are Drunken Noodles (amazing here!!!!), Salad Rolls (better than anyone else!), Tum Yung Gung soup (shrimp. Crazy spicy but you won't care, because it tastes so good!), and Pad Thai Noodles. Crying Tiger is also good. Oh! And if you like the more mild stuff, you can't ever go wrong with the Pinapple Curry!!!!! That stuff rocks! But it's pretty mild. Everything here is amazing. Gourmet Thai food at great prices.

I'd driven by this place many times, but never tried it until yesterday. Went with a couple of coworkers for lunch who were gushing about how awesome the food is here. Lunch hour perhaps isn't the best time to come to this place - the wait (for someone to show up to take the order, for someone to refill our water, for our food to come out and for our bill to come out) was just... yeah, so I have to deduct a star. I ordered a boat noodle and both my coworkers drunken noodles and one coworker also ordered a tom kah soup as well(she figured the soup will come out before the food as she was starving, she told us). We sat around for 15min before our waiter showed up to take our orders, then another 20-25 min for our food to show up. Our waiter who wrote down our orders didn't bring the soup my coworker ordered - then when she asked him about the soup (when we finally got our food), he sounded surprised. My coworkers were very happy with their food, but I found the boat noodle to be incredibly salty and very greasy. More than anything, the service was disappointing (thus deducting another star). Perhaps I'll go back when it's not lunch time and give them another try.

People were nice and everything, but the food was mediocre at best. It's not bad, just not as good as some places. Had the pad Thai and it was kind of flavorless in my opinion. The dishes are all presented well, but for me I'm looking for flavor.

Great food, good service. Sat at he bar because it was crazy busy on a Sunday night. Had a vegetarian colleague with me and he loved the food. I can't vouch for the authenticity, but I enjoyed it all. If you travel on business, yelp is a godsend. Another great meal, thanks Yelp!

This is my go-to place for happy hour. Great deals, amazing food, and delicious cocktails. The service can be slow at times, but the workers are always friendly. My favorite things on the happy hour menu are the veggie spring rolls, fried calamari, and the Thai Tea Kicker. Those are definitely must-try items. On the regular dinner menu, they have a great selection of curry. It's more spendy, but it's completely worth the price. The atmosphere is very laid-back, and I have never felt like the workers are trying to rush me out of the restaurant, even if I spend a while in there chatting with my friends. I would highly recommend this for a night out with friends-- there are so many delicious things to choose from!

Thai Bloom is different, when compared to Thai Roses and other places. You have the choice of a quiet area or a loud area, both are quite nice. I would say the atmosphere and food are definitive and tasty. If you like Thai food, then you should give this place a try. You might be pleasantly surprised.

Went here for lunch with a couple of coworkers and the place was packed, took about 5 minutes to get seated no big deal. The food was just ok, very lacking in flavor. I had to drown my Drunken Noodles in hot sauce to get more flavor. The service was awful, we constantly had to wave down random servers to ask for items because our waitress was off doing bigger and better things apparently. With all the great food choices around this area I don't think I'll be back to Thai Bloom.

I am not sure if they experienced an "off" day today due to the holiday but we went for lunch and were super disappointed. It was fairly crowded so we offered to sit in the bar but they said they did not have enough staff to open the bar area, so they seated us in the restaurant. No classical music today, which we loved last time. Even at lunch time they only provided the dinner menu and pricing, maybe that was due to the holiday who knows. OK onto the food. We each ordered a bowl of soup, Tom Yum and Tom Kha. Hubby thought both soups were OK, I found them to be salty, I got a nice huge bite of galangal root which I did not appreciate. Please remove the non edible parts before serving my soup! I got my usual Drunken Noodles, asked for the skinny Pad Thai Noodles instead, of course they ignored my request and I got the large noodles. My dish was greasy and not very flavorful. I asked for spicy and I guess that means hot oil to them. I did not like the taste or lack of taste much at all. It was too goopy and wet and way too sweet. Honey ordered a Special, Death by Asparagus, which was oddly bland. Hubby thought since it had Ginger Root, Jalapenos, and Bell Peppers it would be tasty. He never found one Jalapeno in his entire meal. It was served with pathetic looking dried out steamed rice. I also noted that some of the Asparagus was really woody and chewy, not good. (Since my lunch was awful I had a few bites of his). I ended up taking 80% of my meal home, Hubby said he would doctor it up and take it for lunch tomorrow. I am still mildly hungry. Sadly disappointed at the food quality and the prices.

I had the Thai bbq chicken large portion, fall off the bone tender and delicious. Served with fresh brown rice and fresh vegetables...my friend had the pad Thai with chicken said it was very good served with tender white chicken. The coffee took awhile to get brewed but was very unusually flavorful with a chestnut flavor, first rate just nothing I've tasted before. Thai iced coffee was rich and good but had a bit of a weird aftertaste in the cream. Service was fair the lady was nice but not great. Only two tables and she just wasn't that attentive, but nice. I wanted siracha sauce she brings this tiny little cup and it didn't taste like the real thing. Didn't have condiments on table had to ask for soy sauce, and no red chili sauce but food was first rate. FYI kind of expensive for Thai 11.99 and up for any dish....

Lyle R.
The Drunken noodles were very good and the service was super fast. The coconut ice cream is a must. The only reason I didn't give them 5 stars, and I probably will next time, is I would have liked to see some more vegetables in my dish. But out of the 5 Thai restaurants I have gone to in Beaverton Thai Bloom is the best.

We live close and occasionally order in or go to the restaurant, but usually go to the bar for happy hour. Ordering in can get pricey with delivery fee. Happy hour is a great deal, as is the lunch menu. Love the curries and drunken noodles, also the salad rolls and kao soi noodles. Service can get a little slow when they are busy, which they usually are. Everyone is very nice and you really can't beat the happy hour prices and portions.

Eating at Thai Bloom was a very unusual experience and I have mixed feelings about this experience. First of all, the service was very effective and fast, and the staff very warm and friendly, so that is a plus. We had food to go, I ordered green curry with prawns, because it is one of my favorites, my friend had a yellow curry dish with chicken. The taste was very good, and fresh, the perfect combination of ingredients, except it was on the salty side. Green curry is already spicy on its own, then with some extra salt, it can be a bit overwhelming. My friend's curry was also very salty. So it'd be good if they could use much less salt in the food in general. One thing I was not happy about was the green curry was too liquid, the consistency was more like a soup and the bad part was there was not much food in it, either of veggies nor the shrimp. I was able to find only few shrimp in it and even the bamboo and the eggplants pieces were like invisible, so no much to chew, but lots of liquid. I am putting an extra star only because there was real, fresh baby coconut meat in it, so that was a plus too, on the other hand it was not enough either, so overall it was a an extremely small portion, not even enough for a small kid, and with way too small amount of veggies /shrimp

Ive been to this place twice and their food is really good. The place is very nice inside and pleasant. A bit pricey but I would still recommend.

Excellent food which was unlike Thai I had ever tasted before. They have many unique items and combinations on the menu. This was my first time there but I can't wait to return to try the other options. Service was excellent and the dessert was killer. Thank you for an excellent time experience. Oh and one more thing, they give you warm towels after your meal. Never had that experience before. Awesome!!!

If you're gonna be above the bar, you better bring it. This place has a pretty slick photographer and a pretty ambitious menu which piqued our interest. Location is not superb. It's kind of where businesses go to die in Beaverton. We sat down at an empty table for happy hour. Were not even acknowledged, so we went to get a table at the restaurant. Happy hour got us there, but we never got to experience it. Lame. The restaurant appeared to only have one waiter. He was holding his own pretty well, but some more help never hurt a place. I got the crab pad thai. The pad thai was pretty good, but had a taste of burned garlic that was a little unpleasant. The crab was not very much, or at least not enough to warrant the steep price. Lots of bits of shell too. My wife got the Drunken Noodles. These kept this place from getting 1 star. Great flavor. Now the price point is a little high. I will pay more for location or superior ingredients and product. This place didn't have bad ingredients but it didn't warrant the price tag. And location...if anything they should be charging less for the location. Another super annoying this was there is a major electrical problem because the lights kept flickering. Come on guys. Hire some help. Hire an electrician and bring your prices back down to earth.

Came in here with the old famdamily after fighting the post christmas crowds at the mall. Craving some thai food, ma suggested this little place. Nice little chow pad. Relatively small but the staff is uber friendly. Could just be that portland vibe going on here. Well bonus points for mom on this one, happy hour food and apps. Cheap and a lot of food ranging for 2-$6. Yes ma'am we will have one of each. And keep the Mai tais flowing. Handcrafted cocktails for under 5$ I'm on board pick me up in an a few hours. Calamari, chicken larb and drunken noodle. Not one to judge but watch out here I go. I judge thai food places by the pad Thai and calamari. Calamari super good. The sauce is what makes it not to chewy but not over cooked. Pad Thai. Great flavor just enough spice that I won't be regretting my choice later this evening (hot in hot out). Pretty surprised at this little place it looks like a little strip mall but the inside is comparable to the fancy smancy places you would take your g-ma to after your graduation party but with much less of the drama and judgement. Gotta go yo last call for happy hour gotta get mah noodle on. Peace out broskis. Headed back to the cali surf tomorrow !!!

This is hands down my favorite Thai restaurant! My girlfriend and I have been coming here since they first opened, and we always choose this if we have a craving for some great Thai food! Great for take out, dinner, and happy hour. The chicken pad thai is fantastic! Also, they have Happy Hour all day on Sunday!!! I highly recommend their spring rolls. The sweet chili sauce that they serve with them is amazing! Writing this review is making me hungry, so I should probably just stop now. In conclusion, it is good!

WARNING to all customers. Check your receipt against your bank statement! I ordered takeout today and did not tip them because it took 1/2 to get me the food and they did not make it to my specification. So my totaI I authorized was $27.98. However, my online bank statement indicated that they charged me for $33.58. So my server Nam decided to give herself a 20% tip without my authorization. This is considered FRAUD and I've reported it to my bank. Will be contacting the restaurant owner/manager next.

Very, very good Thai food. I love Thai food and have eaten it all of over the US and in Thailand. I have been ordering Thai Bloom from Delivered Dish for a year or two. Every time the food is excellent, especially considering it spends 20 minutes or more in a car before it gets to our house. Tonight we got massaman beef and cashew chicken. Bothe were excellent. The beef was incredibly tender and flavorful. The chicken was excellent and the vegetables were cooked PERFECTLY, crisp but not undercooked. Somebody was really paying attention to the details when they prepared our meal. If you want good, honest Thai food, Thai Bloom is the place.

I LOVE Thai Bloom! They make great curry dishes and have a great happy hour allows you to try some dishes you don't usually order and find some more favorites. Portions are good and prices are pretty reasonable.

Great QUALITY thai food here....the curry is amazing!!! I came here with a group of friends when most of Portland/Beaverton was closed due to the snow...this place was one of the only places that stayed open! I'm so glad they did. A friend from out of town ordered the pad Thai and said that it was the best she had ever had. We ordered the panang curry with beef, and the beef was so soft and you could tell the curry was quality and not watered down. Great happy hour as well, love the vibe/decor. Definately a great place to go after work for a drink and amazing Thai food!

I was tasked by my employer to find an acceptable restaurant to host a post-ribbon cutting dinner for ~ 20 people. My initial finds were pretty discouraging: required financial commitments in the form of deposits, RSVP minimum head count, limited menu options, etc. Working in the business end of things, I completely understand a restaurants' demand to be reassured that a reservation will be worth the trouble but, truthfully, I knew I couldn't commit to much on the behalves of my co-workers and executive-level bosses for all sorts of reasons. Thai Bloom's accommodation was the breath of fresh air I needed. Sam answered my call - extremely helpful - gathered necessary info and made scheduling and ordering recommendations according to the size of the party. No marriage necessary. The experience of the restaurant itself was fantastic: Good-humored, unintrusive service - INCREDIBLE food - and lovely ambiance. My boss sung my praises for leading everyone to such a gem. So, I'm left to sing it's praises. I'll be back!!

The service here is terrible. I have sat for 20 minutes before getting any service and waited a good hour before anything arrived. The worst part is that it is a Tuesday night, where the restaurant is not even crowded. Definitely will NOT be coming here again.

Okay food okay drinks okay prices. Poor service they were busy over staffed and still slow. The poor bartender was running everything the manager/ owner cut off happy hour cuz they were too busy. Thats a no no. The poor staff was frustrated and unorganized. I would try back maybe one more time to give them another chance.

This is one of the best Thai places in town! Cashew and Ginger dishes are recommended. Thai ice tea here is delicious. Very friendly staff. Waits can be longer during lunch hour 12-1. Nothing special about the happy hour menu. If you are in Beaverton and want great food, this is a must go place.

Worst Thai food I've ever had. Had the pad Thai and it tasted like the smell of dog food, literally. My wife gagged on the food when she took one bite to try it. It had the strangest flavor and did not taste like a traditional pad Thai. I had chicken in it and it was dry and had no flavor - tasted like poultry without any seasoning. Also, the noodles were very dry. My wife had some sort of rice dish with pineapple and chicken. The rice was very dry as well as the chicken, which also had no flavor/seasoning. I will never go back.

Tried for the first time and chose two items off menu to go -- food is EXCELLENT---worth the price However, service is lacking--they have a strange system for to go items that sit near the door on a table so you can be waiting ten minutes or more while your order is sitting there and you are waiting for someone to check if it's yours and give it to you- so finally, I looked at all the bags and found my name on one and took it and left--there were three employees (one that looked like owner or manager but no one paid attention to the food sitting there. They definitely weren't very busy and the person at the front was talking for probably more than the time we were waiting to some friends in whatever language she was speaking (not English) while we sat and looked at our food sitting there (finally figured it out it was ours)--the four stars is for food only---will have to go back and sit down and see how that system works--the Asian lady at the front seems a bit rude though

The best Thai food in the Portland area...period! We tried most of the items on the menu and they're all good. Our favorites are the Salad Rolls, Chicken Satay, Chicken Pad Thai, Cashew Chicken, Ginger Chicken and Drunken Noodles. Service is top notch and Sam (head server) makes you feel like you're at home. Now they've opened up a Thai Bloom on NW 23rd so I can get my Thai fix downtown!

This is my new favorite thai restaurant in town! Seriously good food! There summer salad with shrimp and tempura asparagus is to die for! Very big salad, enough to share. The red pineapple curry is also delicious, very flavorful. What impressed me about this place is that everything is very flavorful and done well. Plus they have some super unique items on the menu. I'll definitely be back.
(5)Gary S.
Without a doubt this is one of the best Thai restaurants in the Beaverton area, maybe the best. It's a little on the pricey side as its easy to drop thirty plus dollars for lunch but the food is top notch. Plus, it's one of the few Thai restaurants that will actually spice up you food when you ask for it to be made spicy. I always get the beef salad made spicy with a side of rice to soak up the extra dressing and I've never been disappointed. My main complaint is their lack of brown rice. Nice setting, good food and attentive service make this a great place for a romantic dinner or business lunch.

We came here on Sunday because my sister said that they have a killer happy hour that runs all day on Sundays. We were going to wait to go here for a special occasion but the happy hour deals were too enticing to hold off on. The happy hour menu had a lot of choices, but I wish it had even more entree choices. I started pointing at all the things and the waiter commented on how hungry I was. I was hungry indeed, but more curious than hungry. I would definitely get the calamari and the drunken noodles again. Everybody should check in here on yelp because you get a free coconut ice cream. The ice cream was phenomenal and homemade. It also has a bunch of coconut chunks in it. I also should include that the happy hour food portions appear to be smaller than their non happy hour counterparts. My sister and I felt like cheapskates for ordering off the uber affordable HH menu and also taking advantage of the free ice cream yelp deal. However I know I will make it up by coming back plenty and plenty of times.

Drunken Noodle was my favorite!

THEY DELIVER! Just used their delivery service for the first time. Hadn't even heard of the place before. Just needed food after a day of moving. Staff on the phone was polite, efficient and professional. I ordered 6 different main dishes from Pad Thai and Pas Se Ew to the String Beans and Panang Curry. All of it was very, very good. Nothing was forgotten (always a risk with delivery). They quoted a 45 minute delivery time and it took just about 35 minutes. Great food. Great service. I'll be back...
(5)Nicole K.
I love their green curry and pad thai, it made the fiance a fan of Thai cuisine, he now requests it on a regular basis. The duck curry is FANTASIC! The chicken satay was a little on the dry side, though.
(4)Jay P.
Great food and great service. Gotta try the happy hour dishes like pad thai, fried rice, chicken skewers, and calamari. All range in price from 2.99, 3.99, & 5.99 with a few other options in between. Portions are enough for two people. We spent just about $30 and took food home (price included drinks). The atmosphere was above average and the servers were very nice and were very forthright when describing the portion amounts and didn't try an make you buy more than you should - pet peeve of mine. All and all, I would highly recommend.
(4)Rochelle M.

(5)Jason H.
This place is GREAT! Sunday all day happy hour pricing is amazing. But if you try it Sunday, you'll want to come back twice before Sunday rolls around again. So good. I love their pad thai. See their lovely restaurant in this short video. vimeo.com/74071064
(5)Carina H.
The start of my review. The place is hopping! My friend and I were seated within about ten minutes. We ordered, received out Thai iced tea right away. However, we waited an hour for our pad Thai. After about forty minutes we asked the gentleman who seated us about our food. He graciously told us we were second in line. After he helped us our waiter finally came to check on us, numerous times. The food itself came out hot and was good, but the service was lacking. I'll probably come back, but on another night and I won't sit in the bar. Update, after we asked about our food, the service improved. Additionally we were given complementary ice cream. It won't change my review entirely, but it was a nice gesture.

Vegan options! They not only break down their menu with vegan items, but they also have a symbol for items that can be made vegan. It's very much appreciated :) Yellow Curry -- Delicious Tom Kha -- Best I've had Spring Rolls -- Tasty Pad Thai -- Also tasty Happy hour all day Sunday really can't be beat.
(5)Tarkay W.
Good food and generous portions, especially Happy Hour. However, the service is poor, and this is a consistent problem. I've been many times (HH an lunch) and service is consistently a struggle.
(3)Elle P. S.
It's so nice to have a Thai place that's reasonably close to home. The owners are very nice and the food is pretty good. I've had a couple of dishes that were not good but that's kind of common it seems. The service is very polite and prompt and they deliver! We've been here a number of times, ordered delivery and it is always good (except a few dishes and with missing vegetables like bok choy, which I love). The prices are high, but this also seems common for Thai food here. Anyway, it's a good Thai restaurant with kind owners and good service and I'm really happy they are here, which is why I am a repeat customer.
(4)Dave R.
OK call me selfish... We have been going here since the second day they opened back last September and I have not said a thing to anyone except for a comment I did on a check-in that said "Typhoon is reborn". In the beginning it was easy to get in order our great Drunken Noodles and we did not have to worry about getting a table. Now the word is out and we find many times it is so busy we may have to wait a bit. When Typhoon went down the wife and I started looking around and trying other Thai places and tho we had some that were good they just did not match up to what we had grown to like. Thai Bloom lives up to it. The food is great, the service is great and the happy hour is great. Our regular server Walter knows what we want, how hot we want it and checks to make sure it comes out to our satisfaction. So I'm letting it out after six months of being quite and enjoying it. You want great Thai? Thai Bloom.
(5)Marla R.
Really great food! The Tom Yum soup is awesome, servers in the bar are great and the happy hour is great as well!
(5)Giang P.
One of the better if not best Thai places on the west side. Service is great. Happy hour all day Sunday and after work are great. One of the call outs is their spicy ratings. I found their medium spice to be a little on the mild side. But extra spicy is just insanely hot and will give you stomach aches. Try regular "hot" if you are a fan of spicy but not death defying. Their menus are slightly different for lunch and dinner. Both includes icons to label food that is gluten free, vegan, and can be made vegan. They are a little bit pricier than most other Thai places in Beaverton by a couple dollars but the money is well worth the experience.
(5)Hope W.
Thai Bloom is one of our favorite places. The food and waitstaff are fanastic. Awesome happy hour, although most of the drink specials are a bit on the sweet side for me. But you can't beat the happy hour food prices, So far, I have not had a meal there I haven't thought was super yummy. You have to try this place out!
(5)Heather H.
If you, like me, stopped supporting Typhoon when the owners were exposed as tax-evading, embezzeling a-holes to their employees, and if you, like me, missed the Crispy Basil Chicken with much, much miss, hie thee to Thai Bloom immediately. Seriously. Hie. Now.
(5)Brandi F.
My bf and I visited Thai Bloom on a Sunday at 2 pm for happy hour in the lounge. Prices and portions were just right. The pad thai was spectacular. It was sweet, but fried up nicely, street-style like I prefer. The drunken noodles looked like the old Typhoon kind, but they lacked the flavor I was looking for. I hope it was just an off day. I will give the dish another try. I'm not giving up on it. Don't miss the homemade coconut ice cream. What a treat. I didn't like the chopped nuts on top, but I was able to eat around them. No biggie. The service was a bit slow for happy hour. I expected the kitchen staff to hustle a bit more to get the small plates out for happy hour revelers. No deal. Happy hour in the lounge was like a long lunch that day. The bartender was nice, and refilled my soda. But when it came time to get the check, he was deeply entrenched in conversation with a patron at one of the tables. It took an additional 10 minutes to flag down another server so we could pay and leave. This won't stop me from coming back, but I will take the experience into consideration when I am operating under time constraints.
(4)Diego E.
I cant say enough good things about this place, so here is a really short review: "stop browsing, drop everything you are doing and head over to THAI BLOOM NOW!" Ok, seriously now, I have been here 5 times in 3 days since I found this place. My favorite dishes are the Pineapple Curry, and the seasonal Crab Pad Thai made with lump dungennes crab. The portions are generous, the food is of the most impressive quality and the service is great. Good parking, comfortable location with separate bars and dinning rooms. The perfect dinning experience, at a very reasonable price point. HIGHLY recommended.
(5)Stephanie S.
Crab pad thai, yes, please! It was one of those dishes that is tough to share with your own child. Make that both the crab pad thai and the coconut ice cream. De-lish!
(4)Joaquin R.
My favorite Thai food restaurant. Everything is fresh & every dish is well seasoned, no bland food here. Its a must try of you haven't been here, you will become a regular for sure.
(5)Kymm E.
Love the crispy pumpkin chicken salad! But I think it should give you bowls to toss the yummy ness together. Flavors were sooo good. Love that it's open on Sundays with super cheap happy hour!
(4)Brian C.
Great customer service. Great food. Happy hour food allowed some sampling of different dishes.
(5)Courtney B.
came for happy hour - the prices were good, but the service was really slow. food is decent considering how cheap it was during hh not sure if its worth it at full priced tho.
(2)Johnny C.
This place made me extremely sick. Food poising due to their soup. When I called in to let them know they acted like I was trying to pull a fast one. I WILL NEVER EAT HERE AGAIN. Plenty of other Thai places that are way better than this. Thai Asparsa is one of them.
(1)Julie S.
Stopped by for the Sunday all day Happy Hour. Oh my! YUM! Had the spicy Tom Yum Soup $1.95 cup Tempura Veggie and Shrimp) $3.95 --hello Waitress was well informed and friendly. From and earlier review I'd read something about fried pork belly, so I mentioned it. Its not on the menu yet, but soon will be.. The owner much to my delight made himself mixed veggies and deep fried pork belly and came over and offered me a bite before he had any himself. OMG, if you're bacon lover, and like Bacon fat, just imagine getting that crispy juicy goodness in your mouth only deep fried..lol I noticed they had GREAT Happy Hour cocktail and beer prices as well. My overall experience was great, I would have had more to eat, but the portion of my tempura was pretty good sized. I'll be back!
(4)Haley M.
This has become our regular Thai place. I was a little thrown off initially by the ultra-modern decor, but this is truly a family run restaurant. Delicious food and happy hour prices/portions are the best! My favorite happy hour dishes are the beef salad, chicken potstickers, & drunken noodles.
(4)Ariella A.
Everything was amazing! Had Crying Tiger, Papaya salad and spicy basil chicken with a few cocktails and it was delicious.
(5)Zoe Z.
The food is good. However, there are some really mean pissed off servers that work there. One time we ended up not going because my husband recalled the time that a server was so rude to us. They had brought out the wrong food items- the person put it on the table and turned around and left. We realized it wasn't what we had ordered. I went and tracked down our server who then insisted that that is what we had ordered. It was a pretty awkward situation. A situation that probably would have been avoided had the server written down our order instead of doing it by memory. I am also pretty sure they do not have enough staff to compensate for the volume they get during happy hour. The wait time for the food is ludicrous. For some reason I keep going back. I guess the food is really that good....
(4)Jennifer C.
Some of the best Thai we've had in Portland out of the dozen or so that we've tried. The homemade coconut ice cream was awesome. Hubs had the drunken noodle and I had the Chicken Wide noodle over romaine. Adding the romaine made it less Thai-like, but I liked having the extra greens. Otherwise the dish was completely authentic. Service is excellent. Each person working there was a 12 out of 10 on the friendly and effective service scale.
(5)Ganesh B.
Loved it. Drunken noodles, fried rice and yellow curry - all excellent. Food presentation is also good. Staff was great. The veggie spring rolls lacked some taste though. Tables are small. So for 4 people it really becomes cramped.
(4)Christl R.
Hands down. The best. Pad Thai. Ever. And my hubby's Yellow Curry - he's left speechless.
(5)Maggie M.
Excellent food - fast service- fresh, sweet crab - yummy coconut ice cream (yes, it's worth it)! Can't wait to go back!

Great food. Happy Hour all day on Sunday- we are trying to work our way through the menu, but can't resist ordering the chicken wings every visit! Lunch is a bit on the spendy side, but food is excellent. Lots of vegan and gluten free options make it a great place for different dietary needs. Service can sometimes be a little slow, not sure they have enough servers, but the food makes up for it!

Been looking for a thai restaurant in Beaverton that's worth a good review and i finally found one! man oh man was this place freakin' tasty!!! Started the meal with a small bowl of Tom Yum soup...which was a bit on the spicy side but i love spicy food so it was delicious! the chicken in the soup was perfect also! I also got the beef pad see ew, and it was ahhhhhh-mazing! The beef was cooked perfectly with fresh veggies in it, and the noodles were cooked to perfection as well, you really can't go wrong with chewy egg noodles. NOM NOM NOM As I was waiting for my food, I was looking at all of the dishes going to other tables and everything looked delicious. I DEFINITELY want to come back for their happy hour! They have a lot of gluten-free and vegan options on the menu, and it's clearly indicated on the menu as well, which I was impressed with. The only reason why I am not giving this 5 stars is because the service needs a little bit of improvement. Our server came right to our table when we sat down and asked if we needed more time, we said yes (since we had just sat down) and then didn't see him for another 10 minutes....only after he took orders from 3 surrounding tables that were sat after us he came back to take our order. This is a fairly new Thai restaurant so I bet they're still working out the kinks. But other than that this place was fantastic! Definitely will be returning.

Ordered carry out, crab pad thai, garlic pork, seafood cream cheese wontons. I've definitely had better and bigger portions elsewhere. The pork was a bit dry and tough, the seafood wontons tasted like imitation seafood salad. The pad thai was good although I couldn't really taste the crab.
(2)Stacy P.
Good pad thai, but LONGEST service of my life! Even our server said it was normally said the kitchen was slow. (Not just an "off" night). 2 hrs. and 20 min. for just our dinner. Super awkward.......
(2)Jenna R.
This place is very cute inside with friendly and attentive staff. Our food was delish, and I will be back very soon!
(4)jason b.
Wow, can't wait to go back to try more menu items. We had: spicy wings and hoi joh(seafood puffs) for appetizers and BAM! we're off to an amazing start. Then we had: green curry w/ chicken, drunken noodles, and 2 pad thais one with chicken and the other with beef. All were outstanding. My favorite was the green curry.
(5)Paige V.
We tried a little bit of everything! Came during happy hour, but ordered off both menus. Service was attentive and friendly. We got the fried pumpkin, fried tofu, pot stickers, tom kah soup, drunken noodles, and the halibut---all were so incredible, so fresh and full of flavor. I haven't had really great thai in a long time, and we were all blown away----a very special gem in Beaverton. The hype they are receiving on Yelp alone is warranted---it certainly surpassed our expectations. And everyone is right, the house-made coconut ice cream is seriously a must try! We splurged, but so glad we did.
(5)Tony C.
The food was amazing. The service was good. Getting dinner was a bit slow but we had time so it was no big deal. The place was really noisey but that is because they were busy and the tables are all open so there are no booths to dampen the noise. If you like Thai you will like this place. We had the Orange chicken and Cashew chicken. Both dishes were very good.
(4)Cedina A.
Just moved to the area a few months ago. I always went to Thai Noodle Etc in thr mall across the street from Thai Bloom. Finally decided to go here for the first time tonight. The ambiance was great & it was a full house - a good sign for a first timer. We were helped by Nam (lady waitress). She was so friendly and helpful! She recommended the crab wontons, which were so tasty! I ordered the thai iced tea and my boyfriend and I ordered the yellow curry & crab fried rice. Needless to say, it was all so delicious! And the best part --- warm towels after your meal! Such a great experience, will definitely be coming back! The only reason why this review got 4 stars instead of 5: the wait for the food. Longer than most places, but that's what happens with a full house....but DEFINITELY worth the wait!
(4)Daniel A.
We ended up at this place after reading great reviews on Yelp and it did not disappoint. I ordered a noodle soup which was among the tastiest I have had and my wife had the pad Thai which was even more delicious. All of this at very reasonable prices. Would definitely recommend this to everyone who enjoyes Thai food
(5)Brianne S.
Best Thai restaurant I've been to, hands down. Great service, delicious food, fabulous happy hour menu with good portions and options, not too expensive. We were there for more than 3 hours just chatting and having a good time and not once did I feel like we were being hurried or rushed out the door, which is a BIG BIG BIG plus for me. They put your food in a little to-go bag for you when you're done and also give you warm, delicious smelling rags to wipe your hands after your meal. CLEAN. Fabulous place. Definitely going back.
(5)David N.
Went back a couple of weeks ago, for dinner. Excellent food & service, sans the happy hour crowd. Love this place.
(4)Jae K.
My family tried this place for lunch. It was very nice. All dishes were delicious. The service was excellent. All ingredients used were fresh. It was bit pricey, but was worth it. On weekends, there is no lunch menu. It's spacious, so good for family gatherings, etc.
(5)Kory M.
AWESOME HAPPY HOUR!!!! The drunken noodles are amazing here! I have only eaten here during happy hour; that is the only reason I give Thai Bloom 4 stars. I have had better service, but the amazingly cheap and delicious food and drinks makes up for it. Expect to wait if you go for happy hour, but well worth it.
(4)Hollie L.
My boyfriend and I visited after buying a vehicle across the street. Reviews were excellent, so we decided to go for it. I ordered chicken pad Thai. My boyfriend ordered the swimming rama. The chicken pad Thai was delicious. Huge serving. One of the best pad Thai entrees I've had. The swimming rama was also quite delicious. The peanut sauce is to die for. We loved each other's dishes so much that we just ended up splitting our meals for one another. Yelp offered a free handmade coconut ice cream that had chocolate syrup and almonds on top. It was the best coconut ice cream I've had. My boyfriend said it tasted freezer burnt, where you get those little flakes of ice, but I personally LOVE my ice cream with that particular texture. It may have been that way because it was handmade. We would definitely go back again because the food was great and the service was outstanding.
(5)Linda N.
We saw a positive article written by Gerry Frank in The Oregonian newspaper recently and decided to give this place a try last night. We went to the Happy Hour at 4 pm. It was not busy when we first arrived but, by the time we left, it was crowded. We told Sam - a very friendly chap - that it was our 1st visit. He was friendly and we took our time ordering. Everything on the Happy Hour menu was reasonably priced and delicious. By the way, the wine was only $2.99 a glass! Our favorite items were the Spicy Wings, Pad Thai with Chicken, and Drunken Noodles. Next time, we'll skip the deep fried Veggie Spring Rolls (too greasy for us) and get the Salad Rolls instead. Sam was very friendly and - even as the restaurant became busier - he kept stopping by to see if we wanted to sample more menu items. We appreciated not being rushed. The food will bring us back again - the service, too. By the way, their Happy Hour is ALL DAY on Sunday.
(5)Molly M.
I love their food, always great and consistent... Don't get delivery though. It took almost 2 hours and got no discounts. They quoted out delivery time 45mins-one hour. Very disappointing
(4)Laureen K.
Food was really good but the next day when I looked at my bank account, I discovered a charge that was not mine! Could have been an honest mistake.
(3)Lynn A.
THANK GOODNESS!!! I have been searching for a new Thai restaurant since the closing of Typhoon! This one is outstanding. Two of the BEST Thai Chefs in the NW are cooking up authentic Thai food. Better than anything else I have tried anywhere in Portland or Seattle. GO! GO! GO! FOOD: Excellent, outstanding. SERVICE: Excellent ATMOSPHERE: Nice, clean, airy, new
(5)Penny F.
Great pad thai. My husband had garlic pork and he was happy with it. There's always tons of people but you can also get take out. Will be back!
(5)Novy T.
I was in Oregon for a few days for a business trip. The restaurant decor was pretty nice and they divide the restaurant into normal dining area and bar area. The happy hour menu are only served in the bar area, so keep that in mind. I ordered Larb chicken and fried rice from the happy hour menu. Unfortunately, I was here by myself so I can't order more stuff. Portion are a little bit on the small size, but considering the pricing, it's definitely more than reasonable. It's also great cause then you can order and try various other stuff. Service is a bit slow since the place is huge and they only have one server and one guy who I assume is the owner. However, both are really attentive and I would definitely recommend to try this place out.
(5)Jeff R.
Recently moved to the area and thought we would try Thai Bloom, based on Yelp reviews. We were not disappointed! Very warm and inviting. Classy decor and very clean. Definately not your run-of-the-mill thai restaurant. Think more...fine dining style yet still casual. Very nice bar and seating area up front which flows into the dining area nicely and has a well placed flat screen to watch the game. Service was prompt and professional. Since this was our first visit we started with the App Sampler that included a spring roll, pot stickers, Hoi Joh and Satay. All were delicious. My wife tried the Crab Pad Thai and I ordered the seasonal Seafood Red Curry dish. Again, all had great tasted and were cooked to perfection. The only thing really keeping me from giving 5 stars was the price. I felt the prices were just a tad to high in comparision with other Thai restaurants that I've enjoyed. But then again, I suppose the nice location, upscale decor and "fine dining feel" to the place will command a higher price. All in all, we enjoyed it and look forward to returning to try some other offerings.
(4)Kara E.
This is one of my favorite places to eat for Thai food!! The staff is friendly and attentive, but the food is the star here!! They have a wonderful variety - lots of vegetarian choices as well as a vast menu!! The amount of food you get is generous and its very reasonably priced!! The spices at Thai Bloom are oh-so-very yummy!! Everything I have had so far has been so flavorful and delicious!! Definitely my go-to place for awesome Thai food!!
(4)Vincent G.
An excellent lunch spot! I enjoyed the salad rolls, the cashew chicken, and a Thai iced tea...and to top off my lunch, indulged in some homemade coconut ice cream (which was a great decision).
(4)Shaina K.
Attention my fellow gluten intolerant and Celiac Disease people! This Thai restaurant has so many gluten free options! Not just gluten free, your dish can be gluten free AND vegan, or be modified to be gluten free and/or vegan! I had the green curry (my personal favorite) and it was amazing! Possibly the best green curry I've ever had! Plus if you check in here on Yelp, you get a free, hand scooped coconut ice cream! Delicious! 10/10 would recommend!
(5)Melissa N.
Awesome food and service! Highly recommended!
(5)Irene S.
Servers were good, all except Melissa, she must've had a bad day because she was very impatient and unpolite. Foods good, not great but happy hour prices are awesome.
(3)T B.
This has got to be one of the best happy hours in Beaverton or Portland. The food is amazing, at super reduced prices, and pretty large portions. I've tried the wings, larb, calamari, drunken noodles, pad thai, basil chicken and dancing shrimp. They've all been amazing, with the only exception being the dancing shrimp. There's a lot of raw garlic in this dish and it overpowers everything. My favorites are the calamari (which is served with a delicious spicy sweet and sour sauce) and the beef salad.
(5)Jen E.
okay...... after a day of power shopping with a friend we were tired, hungry and in much need of caffeine. We got seated and ordered. First we got our Thai Iced Tea.... oh that glorious mixture of caffeine, cream and crack. Next we ordered the crab puffs..... wonderful golden crispy wonton filled with cream cheese and crab served with a dipping sauce of the gods. My friend and I ordered the Cashew chicken and the Pad Thai noodles. We shared........ barely...... we may have joked about fighting to the death for the Cashew chicken.... She was not a fan of the Pad Thai....but I was..... the meal hit the spot and we even ended it with another round of the iced tea..... I am looking forward to my next experience there...... and next time we shall order more cashew chicken as to not have to re-enact the scene from Thunderdome.
(4)Lin N.
Looks completely different from the old set up of Thai Derm. How I'll miss that inaccurate cultural seating replica circa 1985..... Obviously this is the reincarnation of Typhoon!. Doesn't anyone else remember the big controversy a few months ago with typhoon? That made it hard for me to really get into this place, even though the food was pretty good.
(3)Zoe D.
I ordered take out just before lunch ended at 2:30pm....I selected one of the winter specials pumpkin curry with chicken, which came with white rice, and a side order of steamed seasonal vegetables. It was ready by the time I arrived, the ladies that assisted me were extremely friendly. What a great deal....just over $14! The pumpkin curry was very good, chunks of pumpkin, cauliflower, broccoli, sliced carrots and green beans in a red curry sauce. It had a "two pepper" rating but it truly had just a hint of spiciness. I love a curry with heat so if I get back to Bend I will ask for it to be "four pepper" hot! The rice was cooked perfectly, sticky enough to eat with chopsticks but not gummy. I poured some of the curry onto the side of vegetables and ate that for lunch, saving the remaining curry and rice for dinner. Have I mentioned that it was a great deal? Insiders tip: if you go in the door facing the street you are entering the bar not the restaurant. The chefs are Buddists, the front door should never face west, so the main entry is to the left.
(4)jake g.
Great service. Great food. All around a great experience. Pricing structure was different, but highly recommended for a lunch spot!
(5)Kushal D.
We tried the Happy Hour menu. The orange ribs and Pad Thai were good, but didn't like the Chicken Larb Salad, it was too salty. The coconut ice cream was good too.
(4)Anasooya G.
Loved the Sunday happy hour....orange pork rib was too good...chicken pot stickers were really crispy with tasty stuffing...coconut icecream that came as a complementary as we checked in yelp...was a nice break from usual ice creams we have every time. Service was extremely friendly and attentive. We will definitely come back to taste the other items.
(4)Melina H.
My daughter and I went here on a whim during one of our girlie shopping days and it was a wonderful surprise. We both are Thai food fans and have been to a number of places, however Thai Bloom had a wide variety of unique dishes that I had never heard of. My daughter got her usual panang curry, which was great and I ordered this curry noodle soup that I had never heard of before. I ordered mine "hot", which came out the farthest from hot I had ever gotten in a Thai restaurant. I noticed that all the other tables had a condiment tray brought to them with chili sauces and such but this was never offered to us, which was disappointing, but the dish overall was very tasty. My daughter and I both agreed that our server was probably one of the best we've ever had - very knowledgeable and sincere (I'll give her a pass on the condiments). HH looked crazy busy so I may need to come pack and check it out - the prices were definitely right on the HH menu.
(4)Lavelle B.
Yummy I'm so grateful for Yelp and all your subscribers reviews! Being in a strange town and wanting Thai food, I was so happy to find Thai Bloom. Everything written (positive) is true. The coconut ice cream, waitress and all the food in general. Oh, the waitress...AWESOME. She was wonderful, helpful and made us feel like we knew what we were doing. I would recommend the daily specials and everything! Ok, I'm going to stop. If I say anything more you might think they paid me for a review (they did NOT).
(5)Ben W.
Didn't love the coconut based soup but my family did. AWESOME coconut ice cream though.
(4)Shelley H.
Intimate little Thai restaurant with excellent service and vegan options. They have happy hour but we unfortunately missed out on it. There is a bar area as well as the regular dining room. We ordered a cup of vegan tom ka, vegan pad thai, and vegan yellow curry. Though vegetarian, I really appreciated the vegan option. The presentation of the dishes are beautiful. My favorite item was the soup. It was rich, creamy, and flavorful with its fresh vegetables and tofu. The pad thai was about average and curry was pretty good. We finished the meal with coconut ice cream which wasn't too sweet and tasted very fresh with bits of coconut throughout. We left full and satisfied, however if we ever come back, we'd make sure we hit up their happy hour.
(4)Diana M.
Best Thai place ever. The taste and presentation of food was on point. Waiters and servers were so friendly. The food was plentiful and well worth the price. To top it off they provide you with warm towels to wipe your hands. Amazing experience!
(5)Joanna H.
I pointed this restaurant out to my mom as we drove past the other day in order to recommend it. She read the sign as "Thai Blood" which was of course a turn off to her. I highly suggest giving this restaurant a try. I was pleasantly surprised considering the exterior and the location. It is well decorated and perfectly clean. The staff was welcoming and attentive. The food was delicious (I had one of the vegetarian curries). If you're going to be eating out in Beaverton, I highly recommend this place.
(4)Mandar P.
This is my favorite thai place near my apartment, one of the best Thai restaurants in Beaverton area. I tried couple of dishes and loved all of them. The ambiance is cozy. Every meal should always end with their delicious house-made coconut ice cream.
(5)Marshall A.
Spent Valentines here. I had the pineapple curry and my girlfriend had the cashew chicken with tofu. Both were amazing. I really enjoy this place.
(5)Melissa H.
Excellent food, but very slow service. Must try their salad rolls with peanut sauce as an appetizer!!!
(4)Barbara R.
I'm so, so glad we found Thai Bloom! My husband and I were longtime patrons of Typhoon, and we were left with a gap in our lives when they closed down. We hadn't found any other Thai restaurant in the Portland metro area with the caliber and variety of dishes of Typhoon... until Thai Bloom. (Not surprising, since several of the same chefs and staff work there.) Some of our favorite dishes are the miang kum, fisherman's rice, and beef with peppercorns. But really, you can't go wrong with anything you order here. My only caution would be that if you order takeout, be prepared for a long wait - they always tell us 20 minutes, but we typically end up waiting 40-60 minutes. That won't stop us from coming back though!
(5)Sherry J.
Loved, loved this place. Try the green curry. A real hit with me.
(4)Roberto L.
Nice place with reasonably priced selections. Tasty sauces and good service.
(3)Bryan K.
We stopped for lunch, and we were not disappointed. The restaurant was like a little trip to Thailand. I had a very good drunken noodles with chicken, and my wife had the pineapple curry. Both dishes were well-spiced and very tasty. The portions were fairly sized, and the service was friendly. It was all very good. I will return here, I am sure. The lunch for the two of us ran under $20.
(4)Megan L.
My "go-to" Thai food restaurant! Great, friendly staff, and delicious food. Love the Pad Thai & the Basil Chicken. I've always gone on a Wednesday or Thursday night, and the place is never packed to the point where there is a wait, but there seems to be plenty of other happy diners in there to make the place lively. Prices are reasonable.
(4)Sarah S.
This update is in reference to several recent happy hour meals. Happy hour makes this place very budget savvy (which was one of my only complaints). The food portion is smaller, and dishes are limited, but for $5 I felt like I was getting a good deal! Drinks were decently priced, too. A friend and I already have plans to go to happy hour again within the week!
(5)Amanda K.
happy hour is amazinggggg. my new favorite thai place! coconut dessert was so ogood :D and the service was awesome
(5)Air D.
Poor service, good food, but double check your bill! They over charged me twice! The first time they did, I asked them about it and they said "oh it's a summer special." How was it a summer special when I'd always ordered the dish every time I came and it's not like they gave me a bigger portion?! It's only $1 so I just said (to myself) whatever. The second time, my dish was $7.99 and they charged me $9.99. I asked them and they said "that's what the machine said" huh?? I said "no, it's $7.99 on the menu." Then they said "oh it's because you ordered pork. Chicken and tofu are $7.99, and Pork, shrimp and beef are $9.99." I said again "no, it's $7.99. It says on the menu!" Finally they corrected it. I'll never go back again. Too bad because I used to love this place.
(2)K M.
Excellent food & service. We were a group of 7 and everyone loved what they ordered. As for portion size, 5 of us had enough leftover for lunch the next day. We will be back for sure! 10/19/2012
(5)Margaret L.
I have been battling the "gluten free" issues for years. I tend to only eat out when my husband and I are traveling because the menus and staff are difficult to work with regarding "gluten free" issues. The menu was very clean, easy to read, and easy to understand. The restaurant was clean, friendly and had a wonderful atmosphere. The service was outstanding (we ate in the bar). I will definitely share my experience with others!!
(5)Michael K.
The food was good and the price was affordable. They have a good happy hour selection and the portions are huge for the price!! However, the service was questionable. I felt that we could have gotten better service. We constantly had to get up and ask for more things. On top of that, they took my sister's and her daughters plate full of rice without asking when they were clearing a portion of the table off.
(2)Jennifer G.
Walked in waited while the host took a to go order and then watched as he helped two other parties who came in after us. The host never once acknowledged us.
(1)Reddy M.
This is one of the best Thai restaurants we have visited in a few years. It's casual dining in a spacious restaurant. Friendly people. Food is excellent! All the items we ordered were great. But Kao Soi is arguably the best dish. Coconut ice cream is superb. Papaya salad is great. We will go there again and highly recommend the place.
(5)Brett L.
Back with an update and an extra star for this place. I started stopping in for happy hour here and there and feel the added value warrants an extra star for this place. Get the Pad Thai, it's a steal.
(4)Elisa W.
Had a fantastic lunch here. We found it through Yelp! after we took my nephew to his favorite Lego store nearby. He loved it and the adults did too. Terrific food, great service.
(5)Catherine K.
Was in the area and came here with my family and sister's family. Nice and clean place! We came at an off hour so it wasn't busy at all. It worked out to our advantage because our 10 month old has become very vocal lately. :) Anyway, on to the food. We ordered Drunken noodles with tofu, Panang Curry with prawns (came with plenty!!), crab fried rice and Thai Yen Ta Fo noodles. Everything was delicious except for the Yen Ta Fo. That left a horrible flavor in our mouths and it was also the last thing we ate. It came with very wide noodles and the soup is purplish pink. This soup dish is much better at Chiang Mai.
(4)Emerson A.
Came here on a Friday night with my girlfriend to grab some food. We saw that this place had a happy hour, which is why we came. Super cheap HH, and awesome Pad Thai. Will be back for more. Oh, and if you check in you get free icecream!
(5)Adawn T.
Thai Bloom has a great happy hour. Especially their Tom Kha Soup. The waitresses are friendly. Also, I am allergic to shellfish and they have always been happy to double check ingredients in the dishes.
(5)Clifford E.
There are no other experiences that I have had that are worse than at Thai Bloom. I had been there before and was really excited to finally get to go with my family. It's spendy compared to other Thai joints but their Vegan options made it an ideal choice for everyone coming. We were dismissed by our waitress and after twenty minutes the bartender finally came over and took our orders. As we waited it would be thirty minutes before we received our COLD food, meanwhile other groups who had come well after us delighted in their plates. Fed up abd ready to go, we couldn't buy the time of day from the server to get our check. Rest assured, this has been the last time I will ever spend my time at this restaurant.
(1)Alicia L.
Best Thai I've ever had! Fresh ingredients!!! Miang kum included a huge portion of spinach and condiments. Tom kha gai was sweet and aromatic. Appetizer combo was generous and the chicken satay was succulent. Top the meal off with the most heavenly coconut ice cream with chunks of tender fresh coconut accompanied by sweet sticky rice....if I die now...know I was content!!!!
(5)Steven S.
Great food and atmosphere.
(5)Kathy L.
Fantastic happy hour food and drink specials. Super fast, knowledgable and friendly service!
(5)Jennifer C.
I have tried more Pad Thai in Portland that I can tell you about. It seems every time I order it, it's too sweet and is orange in color with too much sauce. Being from the East Coast, I just assumed that was the way it's served here in the West. Then I had the Crab Pad Thai at Thai Bloom and was so happy to find my perfect Pad Thai. It was not orange, not too sweet, and had a generous amount of crab. My husband had the Panang Curry and it was delicious also. It had a kick but was not too spicy. I was with a large group and everyone was happy with their dinner. We came in 45 mins before closing and they were gracious enough to accommodate us even though our meal extended past closing time. I will definitely be back!
(5)Pages T.
This was my first experience eating Thai food. It was happy hour and I was able to sample 4 different items that were featured on the main menu. This gave me the opportunity to sample before I would order a bigger portion. Loved the Tom Yum soup. I added chicken. Nice and spicy. I also ordered hoi jon, beef salad, and larb salad. The salads were so good! A variety of flavors with each bite. My husband had red curry with prawns and jasmine rice. Staff was very helpful with choices and attentiveness. We will be back to try out more items on the menu! Also their web site is very informative with pictures!
(5)Vicky L.
We have been here many times all for happy hour (several times with our kids age ranging 4-16). Our favorites are spicy basil chicken, calamari, chicken wings, fried spring rolls, fried rice, Tom yom soup with prawns, the pad thai was mediocre.... Each dish under $5 or $6 or so. My daughter says the homemade coconut ice cream was yummy (that's impressive from a girl who doesn't prefer coconut). I enjoyed the Thai tea also. Service is consistently great!!!
(5)Michael W.
This place use to be call Thai Derm and the food was excellent but the place badly needed a make over. which is what thai bloom did. It looks great in here but sadly the food is terrible..and I even tried it twice! I call to ask if they use MSG in their food and te guy I spoke to wasn't sure because he can't read the ;ingredients on the labels. They do use MSG because my girl friend is allergic to it and got sick after eating it. If they can't read the ;label on the ingredients I'm wondering where they get their ingredients from? Bottom line is that this place looks beautiful when you walk inside but the food is trash. They are just counting on a few ascetic changes to fool people into thinking it's a quality restaurant. Don't be fooled.
(1)Amy R.
i've encountered about 5 different servers who are stellar and courteous. i love good service. this is a clean and delicious thai restaurant. fisherman's rice is amazing. thank you, thai bloom!
(5)LadyYelper P.
Good food but took 1 hour to get it. I think that food is normally late because waiter didnt even apologize. I'll prolly only return if I have a lot of time on my hands and want to be there for 2 hours.
(3)Susan O.
Yum! Went here for happy hour. Beer was ice cold so that alone makes me love the place. The atmosphere is a bit fast foodish but the food was delicious. My husband had the beef salad and spicy chicken with basil - he raved about both. I had the salad rolls - shrimp ( not on HH menu but only $5.99) They were very good but mostly just rice noodles. Found out the chefs are from Typhoon which explains the rave reviews. We will definitely go back for dinner at some point.
(4)Hannah N.
Was searching for a new thai place when my beloved Typhoon closed, and this is the best I've found! Great food and great drinks at solid prices and a very nice ambiance.
(5)John S.
I am so glad that Thai Bloom is open. Thai Bloom is the brainchild of our favorite Thai chef. Their food is great and I am glad to give them a good review. I will be bringing all of my friends here anytime that we decide on Thai food.
(5)Sarah W.
Had dinner with a girlfriend the other night and thought it was great. Nice decor, good looking drinks, delicious food, and such a nice wait or! Will definitely be going back!!
(5)Christine L.
What a wonderful place to gather and eat. The food is wonderful. The menu is easily marked Gluten Free by item. The beverages solid. The service excellent. Did I say the food was wonderful? We went there (sans child) for an adult bite to eat. Had such a great time, we brought some other family next time. Then, to even it out, I got to go with a girlfriend to have happy hour. Each time I am not disappointed. I will be back again. And again.
(5)Erika B.
Since my last review, I have been in a few more times for lunch and takeout. The service is very gracious and the food is consistently delicious. Please give this restaurant a try, it really is worth it.
(5)Kristine R.
Can't believe I haven't heard of this place before. Thank goodness for yelp when we searched for Thai in our neighbor we found this place. Service was excellent from the time we walked in the door to the time we left. Food was great, tried the happy hour and was able to try several small plates of their most popular dishes and enjoyed a couple cheap cocktails. We will definitely be back!
(4)Susan c.
Excellent Thai food.
(4)Steve Y.
I really enjoyed my experience at Thai Bloom. A nice atmosphere, great service, and Thai-sty food, YUM!
(4)Bonnie J.
My fiancé and I went here and it is some of the best Thai food I've had!! Crab pad Thai and the duck curry are AMAZING!
(5)Windy H.
Wonderful new Thai Restaurant in Beaverton. Large selection of Authentic and creative dishes. Huge portions and well priced. Will be back.
(5)Katya B.
Best Thai food i have ever had...I also have never had better service before. Will go to again and again for sure.
(5)Ken A.
I have been here three times now. The food is excellent. Tonight had Tom kha gai soup, calamari, chicken with basil, and beef salad. All the dishes were well spiced, very flavorful. Servers are attentive, friendly and informative. The Happy Hour menu has great value with plenty of selections. I would recommend this to anyone, even those that are picky about their Thai food.

One of my favorite places to go for Happy hour! The beef salad is my favorite. So simple yet so good! And nice friendly customer service.

Been there a few times to try their happy hour. It was good. Had drunken noodle, tom kha soup, fried quid. Overall liked it. The atmosphere is also nice and clean.

Food was alright, nothing too crazy. If you have ever been to Eugene or went to UO, it's an upgrade from Tasty Thai. Service was super slow. We sat at the bar so maybe it might be better if we sat a table. The bartender wasn't too attentive to us but the bar back was really nice. There are definitely better Thai places out there.

My favorite place for happy hours in Beaverton and dog friendly too!! The staff treat Butters (my Pembroke corgi) like a special guest whenever I bring him along. The patio has umbrellas to protect us from the sun. And the staff are very attentive and always give us last call for happy hours. The food is spectacular. I love the fact that it's actually spicy for some dishes because I love spicy food. Tum yum soup is my favorite, but my friends love the tum kha soup more. To each their own. There's so many options. You can definitely find something you like here. I highly recommend this place.

Delicious. Visited on Sunday with my wife and 2-year-old. Ordered from the happy hour menu (happy hour all day on sunday). The place was busy, but the food still came within half hour. The crowd was eclectic. Many races and ages. Families, dates, friends. We ordered seaweed salad spicy chicken wings pad thai with chicken papaya salad beef salad a draft beer I've had take-out from thai bloom before a few times and it was okay. But the food today, in house, was delicious. The pad thai noodles were perfectly cooked. The sauce was not sweet. The chicken tasted grilled. My daughter and wife loved the seaweed salad. Not fishy at all. The beef was flavorful. My wife said it was too tough, but I thought it was not. She liked the wings. There was a high-chair for my baby. The entire meal was $25. Felt like a great deal. In the future I will try harder to not sit where my toddler can see the TV in the bar area, but you need to sit in the bar area to order from the happy hour menu.
(5)Kris K.
Outstanding! The Crab Pad Thai was covered in crab meat and was a nice, fresh variation on the usual, the Ginger Ribs were meaty and flavorful, as were the Chicken Satay Skewers, and the Papaya Salad was beautifully presented and perfectly seasoned. What more could you ask for? Next I'll be back to try the Happy Hour Menu, with its small plates of all of the other things I wanted to try!
(5)Angela N.
I've been here about 3 times now because the food is so good and I plan to go again!. Low points would be that the seating is hard and uncomfortable, prices are a bit high.
(4)Stephanie M.
The waitress was AWFUL. She was passive aggressive, short and rude. She would correct us when ordering and make snide comments. She treated my friend and I like children who have never eaten out at a restaurant before. She was a poor communicator, it took us five minutes to explain to her we were ready to order, and when I ordered three happy hour items she said "oh but you're already getting these two things"...ummm excuse me I am building your bill. I loved all the food to bad the service SUCKED. And as a server I cringed the entire time talking to her for being such a unbearable waitress. She needs a job outside of customer service because I will not go back because of her.
(1)Josie M.
Great food awful customer service! Their has been two times they forgot my drink. Today it also took a woman 10 minutes to take my delivery ignoring me and talking to someone else in the background. All I can say is rude...
(3)Echota K.
We love this restaurant. Firstly, we love Thai food, but you know how tricky it can be to find just the RIGHT restaurant that makes food you like. We have several food allergies, too, which make eating at most restaurants pretty much out of the question. (corn, gluten, msg, dairy) But we can eat here! You can let them know what your food allergies are, and their menu even already says which items are specifically gluten-free, which is awesome. The food is fresh, delicious, and the portions are abundant. The staff is completely accommodating and always has friendly smiles. One thing to note: if you have children in your party, because the food is fresh, it DOES take awhile to make. not a big deal if you're adults, because you can wait, but with hungry kiddos, it can be tricky. Just plan accordingly, because the food is worth the wait for the rest of us. Even my impatient 8-year-old thinks so - this is his favourite Thai restaurant, and he is the one who requests we go there most of the times we go.
(4)McKenzie D.
By far the best Thai food in the area. The papaya salad, drunken noodles, Pad Thai, pineapple curry, and cashew chicken are all great dishes. The high quality food here makes it hard to eat Thai from anywhere else. Definitely recommend!!!
(5)Martin F.
Thai food as art - these guys do it well. I like the food, although it wouldn't be on the top 5 Thai places in the area, it is certainly very tasty. The setting is very classy - and the presentation was very well done. I went for my standard Panang Curry - I liked it - I asked for it hot and I felt like it was lacking in heat but still good. My friend tried the Pad See Ew with chicken and really enjoyed it. The service is prompt and friendly, very knowledgeable about their extensive menu. If you're looking for an upscale, classy dining experience with some tasty options, I would recommend this place quickly. For a more casual, less expensive option, you might want to keep looking. It was certainly good enough for me to go back again another time and see if I missed something. The menu is so extensive I feel like I should go away from my standards and give them another chance to wow me. I have a hunch I wouldn't be disappointed.

I don't ever find myself in Beaverton, and that's decidedly on purpose. I don't do well in Suburbia; all the malls and chains look the same to me. But in recent years, Beaverton has yielded some pretty sweet Asian eateries by word of mouth from the Portland foodies. It's not uncommon to hear material such as: "oh, our favorite sushi place is definitely in Hillsboro". Or "the only place we eat Thai is at this place in Beaverton, off of Cedar Hills." When they say that, they're talking about Thai Bloom. I was pleasantly surprised by this place! It's not in a strip mall, and it's what I'd loosely call "upscale Thai dining". It's obvious the owners have put a lot of thought and care into curating the restaurant's every detail. Nice linen napkins, low lighting, and a very inviting dining room that'd be perfect for either a date OR a nice family dinner. There's not very many places that can claim both of those atmospheres! Everything we had was delicious; I can't even pick out the "highlights". Pork and ginger potstickers? Heavy on the ginger and downright delicious. Chicken lettuce cups? NOT dripping with excessive fish sauce (like!), and super crunchy and tasty. A pumpkin curry as a winter seasonal offering? You bet your ass I ordered that. Ill be back to sample their other traditional Thai dishes. I just can't turn down a pumpkin curry. It's one of those things where if it's on the menu, anywhere, ill order it regardless. Thai Bloom, why are you all the way in Beaverton? Sigh. Ill just have to make the trek. This could be my new fave Thai food crush.
(5)Christina C.
Delicious Thai food!!! We found this place on yelp and the reviews did not disappoint. I have celiac disease and have to eat gluten free...there are a TON of gluten free options here! Everything is clearly marked on the regular menu. I've never gotten sick after eating here. Must try if you love Thai food!
(5)Dan C.
Great food, GF options are great!, service and prices are good too. Thankfully I live near them, my go-to Thai joint
(5)Andrew B.
Pretty much as good as it gets in thai restaurants. The food doesn't really travel well though.
(5)Jessica N.
My review is purely based on the happy hour - One word = Amazing. ESPECIALLY for Sunday when it was ALL-DAY-LONG. OH YEAH! Menu includes an array of food ranging between $2-6 and drinks between $3-5. The food was delicious and they don't skimp on sizes. We ordered: - Chicken pad thai - Pork drunken noodles - Tom kha soup - Beef salad Chicken pad thai was good, but wasn't extraordinarily different from any other pad thai I've had. Pork drunken noodles were decent, but I felt that the noodles were overly soft. Tom kha soup was a bit too thick for my liking and the chicken was dry. However, the beef salad was the star of our meal! They open at 11a on Sunday. Park on the West side of the building to be closer to the bar entrance as happy hour is only served there.
(4)Andy W.
This is a really nice place. Their chicken red curry was really awesome, however their pai thai was bland and the tofu was not properly fried. I was also not a fan of their wonton soup which I also found to be pretty bland. Overall the food was ok
(3)Chuck G.
Deja vu, that unexplainable feeling that somehow you've been here before... or seen this menu and eaten these drunken noodles before. Yes, Typhoon has been reincarnated as Thai Bloom... without the slave-labor in the kitchen we assume. It's not the same ownership; they fled the country. But it is the same water glasses and, more importantly, some of the same cooks... presumably those in the country legally... or at least willfully. Typhoon was a favorite of mine and any of my friends. We were shocked, outraged when the behind-the-scenes goings-on were revealed. But, we were also, selfishly, sad to loose that great food. So, we were delighted to visit Thai Bloom and find so many of our old favorites faithfully recreated. My personal Typhoon favorite was Drunken Noodles with Beef and Mushrooms. I rationed myself allowing myself to have it only every-other time. Well, I can't remember where I was in that regime, so I decided to allow myself to begin anew. The Drunken Noodles was perfect... but the mushrooms -- while good -- fell short if Typhoon's high standards. In their defense, the mushroom option was not on the menu and the waiter agreed to do it specially for me. In that light, it was very good. Lunch prices are about $10. The service is good. And the big windows make the dining room light and airy, a welcome change from Typhoon's dark decor. So, if you liked Typhoon, if you like good Thai-style food, head to Thai Bloom!

****happy hour**** Snap thai happy hour with lots of delicious things on the menu! You can't go wrong here. Good was delicious.and service was exceptional. Come try it out !
(4)Mona B.
I'd driven by this place many times, but never tried it until yesterday. Went with a couple of coworkers for lunch who were gushing about how awesome the food is here. Lunch hour perhaps isn't the best time to come to this place - the wait (for someone to show up to take the order, for someone to refill our water, for our food to come out and for our bill to come out) was just... yeah, so I have to deduct a star. I ordered a boat noodle and both my coworkers drunken noodles and one coworker also ordered a tom kah soup as well(she figured the soup will come out before the food as she was starving, she told us). We sat around for 15min before our waiter showed up to take our orders, then another 20-25 min for our food to show up. Our waiter who wrote down our orders didn't bring the soup my coworker ordered - then when she asked him about the soup (when we finally got our food), he sounded surprised. My coworkers were very happy with their food, but I found the boat noodle to be incredibly salty and very greasy. More than anything, the service was disappointing (thus deducting another star). Perhaps I'll go back when it's not lunch time and give them another try.
(3)Lalitha K.
Good ambiance and tasty food. I loved the veggie spring rolls and my all time favorite coconut ice cream with nuts on it :)
(4)Jane C.
We got some to go food delivered to the office. It was soooo good! The only problem we had was it took about an hour to have it delivered, at 2 pm on a weekday. But our office assistant liked it so much she went back the next night with her sister. We got the yellow curry and it was to die for, just the right amount of spice :)!
(4)Melissa D.
This is a well-deserved lengthy review: My fiancé and I loved our first experience here, and we remembered this place had a great happy hour menu. We looked on Yelp beforehand to find the happy hour times, which is listed for Monday from 4-9pm. As soon as we walked into the bar the waiter, who happened to be our same waiter from last time, kindly greeted us. We told him we were excited to try their happy hour, and that's when the awful news came. He nicely explained that happy hour had just ended, and would begin once again at 8. Unfortunately their happy hour was misstated on Yelp as their actual hours of operation of 4-9pm, not the happy hour of 4-6p & 8- Close. We walked in at 6:08pm. And we had just left a nearby restaurant upon remembering that this place had a great happy hour. I showed our waiter the yelp page, which clearly stated that happy hour was indeed happening at that very moment. I was extremely disappointed. He asked us to wait a moment while he went into the kitchen; upon returning he said he could honor the happy hour menu for us! We couldn't have been more grateful. Especially since I would've without a doubt, left to find happy hour somewhere else if our only option was the full priced menu. I told my fiancé that I wondered if our waiter remembered us from our last visit, but he didn't think so. A few minutes later, our waiter returned and said, "You guys were here a couple weeks ago, it was a Wednesday, and you were sitting right over there right?" (and pointed to the table) I was VERY impressed with his recollection, especially since the bar was totally packed that night. We ordered four items on the happy hour menu and a drink altogether for only $24. The portion sizes were much larger than we anticipated. Our waiter grabbed our half eaten plates after confirming we were finished, and I assumed he was throwing them away since a vast majority of happy hours don't allow you to take to-go boxes. I was shocked when he came back with our food boxed, bagged, and ready to go. From the time we walked in, to the moment we walked out, we were treated so well, I couldn't complain if I tried. There's also a large flat screen directly in front of the bar, which is always playing football. Being that Beaverton lacks respectable late night food, we have unquestionably found our new regular happy hour spot, especially during Monday night football. LOVE IT!
(5)Jim L.
Typhoon is back! Yah, love this place. It is pretty much EXACTLY the same menu, same chefs, etc. as Typhoon used to be. For those of us who absolutely LOVED Typhoon, you'll love this. All the same. Just basically changed company name. For those of you who haven't been here, WOW! You're missing out. Most amazing food in Beaverton. Plus, they deliver to all over in Beaverton for a really great price!!! Although they only have limited number of drivers so sometimes they can't do a delivery for a long time. Call early in the evening if you want delivery. Anyway, our family's favs are Drunken Noodles (amazing here!!!!), Salad Rolls (better than anyone else!), Tum Yung Gung soup (shrimp. Crazy spicy but you won't care, because it tastes so good!), and Pad Thai Noodles. Crying Tiger is also good. Oh! And if you like the more mild stuff, you can't ever go wrong with the Pinapple Curry!!!!! That stuff rocks! But it's pretty mild. Everything here is amazing. Gourmet Thai food at great prices.
(5)Vienia H.
One of the best Thai restaurants in town! Recently moved from LA, I was in the hunt for good and authentic Thai foods. After 1 year of searching I found this restaurant. Search is over!! Of course it'll never compared to Thai goods in LA.
(4)Palauan C.
Not Good for delivery but I've had better thai food elsewhere and I can say it's not that great. Moving on to other places until I find that one place that serves better tasting flavors.
(2)Katrina M.
Awesome service and their happy hour prices/food was spectacular! Definitely coming back whenever I am craving thai food.
(5)Shy A.
We were greeted warmly...nice start! My friend knew the owner as she is a regular, so I immediately felt comfortable and excited to try her fave Thai joint. We ordered 3 plates and soup as an appetizer. 44 minutes later we had no soup or food and may I add no water. We knew that they were busy, but seriously, 44 minutes with no food and no water is ridiculous. I feel bad writing such a negative review since it's her favorite place but I have to be honest about the experience. Friends with the owner or not, the customer experience should be the most important thing. Don't get me wrong, they were nice, but just extremely slow and...negligent. I felt like they served all the other tables efficiently but just left us to hang there.... This could've easily been a 4 star review because when we finally got our soup and dishes (at the same time, I may add) it was delicious. The service continued to stay lacking, I doubt I will be back.
(2)Mare C.
I absolutely love this place, the best Thai food I've had in Beaverton Hillsboro aloha area! The happy hour pricing is great, the food is made from scratch and you get awesome value for the price. The bar fills up quick so get here early for happy hour!
(5)Raquel H.
Thai Bloom, I love you. I don't even know what else to say. Everything I've tried is delicious. Their happy hour prices are fabulous. I want to eat my weight in mango sticky rice and coconut ice cream. Thank you for being an awesome gluten-free option for this gal.
(5)Crystal H.
I beg to differ with the reviews on this place's Thai food and its taste. Tom Kha- WAY too salty. It was not my taste buds that is the problem, but it was the whole table who agreed. We have all had multiple Thai dishes and have tried Tom Kha before... this was NOT Tom Kha. Tom Kha is supposed to taste similar to Tom Yum, just with some coconut. This was coconut with a pound of salt in it! Halibut- nothing to mention Roasted Duck Salad- Once again, the sauce was super salty ... i've had Thai salads before and they tend to be a bit more sour and sometimes sweet... this one was too salty... the fish sauce was not altered enough and I can smell and taste the saltiness of it. Basal Chicken- Probably the only one that was not salty but nothing notable to mention. Fried Calamari- Sadly, the only thing I found good was a generic dish that can be found in different restaurants not exclusive to Thai. This place is on my "banned" list... never AGAIN... Edit: this was my SECOND time here ( i always give a place a second chance), and the first time wasn't that pleasant either... aside from the Happy hour pricing, i would NOT come here just for taste.
(1)Robert K.
by far the best happy hour food and staff in the PDX area. if u come at rush hour....there can be a wait list for Happy hour. But well worth the wait. WAIT STAFF IS AMAZING!
(5)Sudeep B.
Awesome and authentic Thai food with GREAT service. They have seasonal specials that are pretty phenomenal and a break from the standard Thai curries.
(5)Michele S.
Ordered delivery to my hotel after a long day. Their customer service when taking my order was absolutely fantastic and he apologized in advance for the wait, which was roughly an hour. The food arrived within 45 minutes and the lady who delivered it was equally friendly. The Tom Yum Goong with prawns was delicious! I highly recommend Thai Bloom for both the tasty food and great service!
(5)Greg B.
Great happy hour and great food. Favorite Thai in the 'burbs by far.
(4)Yvette E.
Best thai restaurant in beaverton!! I've had almost everything on the menu and it is always delicious and well made!! They deliver as well which is fabulous! Pad ped beef with green peppercorns is spicy and delicious! My husband always gets the crispy duck. If you like seafood all the fish options are outstanding!
(4)Rosie H.
Thai Bloom is my favorite Thai restaurant in all of Beaverton and Portland. They have an amazing happy hour with a really great menu. I love their peanut sauce! Best salad rolls and yummy home made coconut ice cream! I highly recommend you try them out!
(5)Vyha T.
Good food!!!
(5)Cheryl D.
I am not sure if they experienced an "off" day today due to the holiday but we went for lunch and were super disappointed. It was fairly crowded so we offered to sit in the bar but they said they did not have enough staff to open the bar area, so they seated us in the restaurant. No classical music today, which we loved last time. Even at lunch time they only provided the dinner menu and pricing, maybe that was due to the holiday who knows. OK onto the food. We each ordered a bowl of soup, Tom Yum and Tom Kha. Hubby thought both soups were OK, I found them to be salty, I got a nice huge bite of galangal root which I did not appreciate. Please remove the non edible parts before serving my soup! I got my usual Drunken Noodles, asked for the skinny Pad Thai Noodles instead, of course they ignored my request and I got the large noodles. My dish was greasy and not very flavorful. I asked for spicy and I guess that means hot oil to them. I did not like the taste or lack of taste much at all. It was too goopy and wet and way too sweet. Honey ordered a Special, Death by Asparagus, which was oddly bland. Hubby thought since it had Ginger Root, Jalapenos, and Bell Peppers it would be tasty. He never found one Jalapeno in his entire meal. It was served with pathetic looking dried out steamed rice. I also noted that some of the Asparagus was really woody and chewy, not good. (Since my lunch was awful I had a few bites of his). I ended up taking 80% of my meal home, Hubby said he would doctor it up and take it for lunch tomorrow. I am still mildly hungry. Sadly disappointed at the food quality and the prices.
(2)JP R.
I had the Thai bbq chicken large portion, fall off the bone tender and delicious. Served with fresh brown rice and fresh vegetables...my friend had the pad Thai with chicken said it was very good served with tender white chicken. The coffee took awhile to get brewed but was very unusually flavorful with a chestnut flavor, first rate just nothing I've tasted before. Thai iced coffee was rich and good but had a bit of a weird aftertaste in the cream. Service was fair the lady was nice but not great. Only two tables and she just wasn't that attentive, but nice. I wanted siracha sauce she brings this tiny little cup and it didn't taste like the real thing. Didn't have condiments on table had to ask for soy sauce, and no red chili sauce but food was first rate. FYI kind of expensive for Thai 11.99 and up for any dish....
(4)Lyle R.
The Drunken noodles were very good and the service was super fast. The coconut ice cream is a must. The only reason I didn't give them 5 stars, and I probably will next time, is I would have liked to see some more vegetables in my dish. But out of the 5 Thai restaurants I have gone to in Beaverton Thai Bloom is the best.
(4)Kris C.
i was delighted to learn through word of mouth that Typhoon had been reincarnated as Thai Bloom. Although typically, the sequel of a restaurant (or movie or album for that matter) rarely is as good as the original. To my delight, Thai Bloom is an exception. Same delicious calamari, fresh salad rolls, Pad Thai, Thai Iced Tea, prepared and served by the same excellent staff that formerly reigned at the Beaverton Round Typhoon location. These courageous Typhoon survivors are to be commended for regrouping to duplicate the magic of the west side's top Thai eatery. Mission accomplished.
(4)Cassidy M.
My boyfriend and i come here at least once a week! Awesome happy hour, super chill and friendly staff. The bartender there makes amazing raspberry lemondrops! Must try their veggie rolls, drunken noodles, pad thai..everything is great!
(5)Mallory S.
Love Thai Bloom! Its delicious! LOOOVE the Pad Thai, Pineapple Fried Rice and Drunken noodles. Prompt service and always get seated quickly! definitely recommend! Recently got engaged right after eating at Thai Bloom! It's now officially my favorite restaurant!!
(5)Alicia G.
Delish! Crispy basil chicken....omg!
(4)Chippy C.
The best Thai food I have eaten. I am a big fan of Thai food, and dont miss an opportunity to taste Thai cuisine on my travels. I am amazed at the quality of the dishes here. The recent revamp from Thai Derm to Thai Bloom - and the new management/chef have made all the difference. The Pad Thai, Green Curry, Panang curry etc are of the highest quality you will get anywhere -including Thailand ! Hope they keep up the good work.
(5)Julie M.
My husband and I dropped in before the dinner rush and we were so impressed by the drinks, the service and the food. The Spicy Cosmo was delicious, my husband stole it from me. The salad rolls were the best we've had in the area. The pad thai was perfect and the BBQ chicken is exceptional. We had a yelp check-in deal for a free coconut ice cream and it was beauutiful and tasty. The owner came out and asked us how we heard about the restaurant. What a nice guy. We're coming back!
(5)Katrina W.
Excellent Thai food. I loved the crab pad thai & the fisherman fried rice. The sampler appertizer was also delicious & the peanut sauce was amazing. I will definitely go back.
(5)Kim P.
Their Happy Hour is insane in terms of selection and price. $1.99 to $4.99 small platters (maybe at a dollar or two for beef or seafood), $3 micro brews, $4 well drinks, and BOMB $5 cocktails. The time is late in the day 4 to 6pm & last hour of business M-Sat and all day Sunday. The staff is very friendly and always lets you order off the HH menu even if you are a minute or two past. If you come during HH, expect your food in courses as things are brought to you as they are ready. Not really the place during HH times if you are in a hurry. If you want to sit outside you have to go in and ask first. I made that mistake once but the waitress was gracious and kindly explained the system to me. This is a hidden gem in Beaverton. Good food, prices, and customer service will keep me coming back!
(4)Alicia M.
Came in with a large group of friends after my husband's birthday bowling party. The menu offered a nice selection if Thai food, and our server was extremely pleasant and friendly. All the food looked tasty, and bites were shared amongst friends. Everything I sampled I enjoyed, and those items I didn't try looked appealing as well. The staff was courteous and accommodating, even though we came in later in the evening. Would definitely go back there.
(5)Patrish M.
What a great meal! The service is excellent, the dining area is bright with large tree-shaded windows which is nice at lunch time. Everything we have ordered has been great. We have returned several times. We celebrated a birthday once and they were so gracious and even put a candle on our best ever mango sticky rice.
(5)Matt F.
Excellent place to go for a casual meal or a sunday watching football! Bartender is super friendly, plenty of drink options and the couple bites I had off a friend's plate were DELICIOUS. These guys can cook some Thai Food! Love that it's easy to get to, huge parking lot and a fun group of people running the joint!
(5)David S.
The new renovation looks really nice. The pad Thai is among some of the best. Good portions. The salad rolls come with two dipping sauces that pair well. I took advantage of the free hand made coconut ice cream, but would've gladly paid for it. Very well presented with little pieces of the coconut meat in it made it a great finisher. Will definitely be on my "go to" list.
(5)Jules B.
WOW! A huge upgrade from the previous Thai Derm... Everything looks completely renovated! I was very impressed with the menu, I am gluten free and everything was marked specifically according to spiciness and whether it was gluten free or not. This made for simple smooth ordering. I had the "Crying Tiger" appetizer -my new favorite!- and the "Spicy Asparagus Shrimp" off the Summer special menu. Both were to die for! I have to say this was the best Thai Food I have ever had. I will definitely be back for more, and will have to make eating at Thai Bloom a regular thing!
(5)Lindsey C.
I've been to Thai Bloom 3 times. First was when they first opened. They were a little over busy but managed the situation by giving us a great discount on our meal for the wait. Because of that we came back a second time. LOVED the food we had. Even though it wasn't during happy hour, the money was worth it. Some of the best Thai I've ever had. Just went this past week for a happy hour drink with a friend which turned into a long talk. I was nervous that we hadn't ordered too much and they would want us to leave but we were in the middle of a very important conversation. Melissa was our server and she was amazing. Came often enough to see if we needed anything but never made us feel pressured to leave. When we left I told her that and she was so genuinely friendly and made us feel so comfortable that I'm going back for dinner with my husband tonight. She truly made me feel like this could be my new favorite place to hang out. I can't say enough good things about this place. Melissa gave us outstanding service. The food is truly amazing. The Happy Hour prices and selection is awesome. You have to try it out yourself!!
(5)Paul R.
Really good food and super nice people! We'll be back!
(5)Jeff H.
Food is excellent but service in the bar area was horrible Not attentive and had to make effort to get attention Sit in restaurant instead.
(3)Steve A.
"Stopped by a couple of Saturdays (with kids) ago and the service was good overall, delicious plates (great portions), and the prices are very reasonable. We "heard" this place reopened with some of the chefs from the former Typhoon, not sure but we will be going back..."
(4)K J.
The prices here are pretty darn reasonable, especially for dinner. I have had both the pad thai and green curry and they were absolutely delicious. I suggest the beef satay for an appetizer - the peanut sauce is awesome! The service here is really good as well. I will be going back for sure.
(5)JR H.
Possibly the best Thai food I've had in Portland. This area can be challenging. Most restaurants are chains. We're always trying to find different places to eat. We stumbled on to this place and now it's becoming a regular spot.
(5)Songphon M.
There has been a lot of good word-of-mouths among Thai community in Portland about this place. Finally I had a chance to try the foods at Thai Bloom last Sunday. We chose to sit in the dining area as we wanted to focus on the food. The servers were very friendly and attentive. The restaurant was spacious, clean and well-decorated. For appetizers, we ordered "Hoi-Joh" (Thai-style fried crab cake) and "Crying Tiger" (Medium rare roasted beef with special Thai dried chili dipping sauce called "Jaew"). I have never seen any Thai restaurant in the U.S. having Hoi-Joh in the menu and I was impressed. Even though the taste was not as good as the original Hoi-Joh from the Eastern Thailand, it was close enough. The "Jaew" dipping sauce for "Crying Tiger" was perfect. For the main dishes, I ordered the signature boat noodle. (A short Thai food history lesson for this dish: the reason it has the name boat noodle is because it used to be sold by the vendor on the boat along the canal in Thailand some hundred years ago.) Normally, the boat noodle in Thailand is the noodle in beef stock soup with slow-cooked mixture of beef brisket and beef or pork meatballs served in a small bowl - you can easily eat 5-10 bowls and stacking them up. Here in Thai Bloom, however, the portion is so gigantic that we should call it "Titanic" boat noodle. In my opinion, the taste has been americanized but it is still savory by adding some Thai chili and vinegar. My friend ordered "Yen-ta-fo" (pink noodle soup). The pink (or red) color of the soup comes from the fermented tofu inspired by the combination of Thai/Chinese dish. The taste was also good. I highly recommended this two noodle dishes. For the dessert, I used Yelp mobile app checking in the business and received the free home-made coconut ice-cream. (Thank you, Yelp! for this surprising deal.) The ice-cream is a perfect finish for our meal. All in all, it was a satisfying dinner. The foods came a little bit slow (may be because the restaurant was busy) but the huge portion and the taste of the foods made up for the waiting time. The price is a little higher than typical Thai restaurant but it is still reasonable. I will definitely go back again for different dishes.

Best pumpkin curry in the Portland metro area!

Try the tom yum noodles or the phad see ewe!

This place is a hidden gem! They have the best happy hour. The food was fresh and the atmosphere was great! I highly recommend this place. Their drunken noodles and papaya salad was delish!

So delicious! We had the crab pad Thai and the flaming fish. Both were stellar! The steamed veggies on the side were a little sad though. Service was very fast and friendly. It is owned by the two chefs from typhoon which is cool. I'm glad something good came from that whole fiasco. We will definitely be back again and again. I love so many of their dishes. :)

I LOVE Thai food and they definitely know how to do it here!! My favorite appetizer is the Crying Tiger and it may make you cry tears of joy. The atmosphere is great and the food is amazing. Great place to go for dinner or get some drinks and appetizers!

My husband and I checked out Thai Bloom for the first time, and we have found our staple Thai restaurant in the Beaverton area. Everyone was really friendly, prices are slightly higher than standard Thai restaurants, but really only by a buck or two. Ambiance is upper end of casual dining, candles on tables and cloth napkins but comfortable enough to put your elbows on the table. I ordered the chicken pad thai and my husband ordered the orange ginger chicken off the winter specials menu. My pad thai was good, not amazing but not disappointing at all. The chicken is a higher quality than I am accustomed to in a standard Thai joint. My husband's dish was amazing. The sauce was bright with lots of citrus and the ginger flavor was fresh and intense without overpowering the other flavors. I will be going back before they change the specials! A couple other details I think are worth noting... I sat within view of the kitchen doorway, and couldn't help but sneak a peek here and there. I was really happy to see that their kitchen staff was constantly washing their hands, you could really tell that it's just second nature to them and that makes me feel so comfortable in a restaurant. Also, while we were there they seated a large party (probably 25 people or so?) and while I have no idea if they had a reservation or extra staff on to accommodate, our service did not suffer at all despite the extra work the staff had with such a large group.

Happy hour here is pretty awesome. It gets a little busy, but the servers have been very gracious for all the running around they do. My family is gluten free and this was a friendly experience for us. It was easy to know which meals were available for us and the staff actually seems to know when we ask questions about ingredients. One of the great Thai restaurants in the area!

WOW! WHAT FLAVORS! Thats the first thing that comes to mind when i think and speak about this place. Ive stopped in a few times for lunch with other from work and i always go away happy. This time in i was with just my wife. She LOVES Thai food. I on the other hand am not a big fan. I have to be in the mood, and it has always been hit and miss for me. Well this place is for sure a HIT. We had some cream cheese won tons that were perfectly cooked. Not overdone so they taste burnt, there are several places guilty of this. And the won tons were fresh. How can one tell? Ever had one that had a crunch, but was kind of chewy? Didnt break clean and crisp like a potato chip? Thats old won tons. My wife ordered the yellow curry with chicken, and i got a ginger chicken. Seriously, both were top notch. Lots of places do curry, and its easy to make, but not easy to do well. This had body, and a multitude of flavors that lots of places lack. You could taste the curry, and its not overwhelming. The coconut is there adding a creaminess to it. Honestly, when i think of a curry, this is what i think of and expect but rarely get. The ginger chicken was also a winner. Great flavor without overpowering, and had the right amount of spice. Had to take some home just to have it for lunch! We also got the mango sticky rice which is something we both love. And again, this place does a SMASHING job! The people are very nice. Service was excellent. Lord even the iced tea was super tasty. On a date night, i will gladly come here with the wife. I can see kids enjoying it here as well, but if they dont already like Thai flavors (which myne dont) , you would be better off at another place. But if you like Thai, GOOD Thai, you should be coming here.

Solid place for happy hour in the Beaverton area. Portions of food items are good. However their cocktails are very very weak - didn't seem like there was hardly any alcohol. One point of confusion - they have two entrances, one leading into the main dining area and the other for the bar. If you walk in the bar entrance, you must walk around to where the other door is to check in with the hostess before sitting. Didn't know this the first time and my friend and I just stood around waiting for someone to greet us.
(4)Jentry P.
This was my last day in Oregon and we were craving some Thai food. The ambiance of this place impressed me as soon as I walked the in. The Garlic Pork was pretty good, a little dry, but the flavor of the sauce is what made it special. Lastly the coconut ice cream was amazing. I suggest everyone try that! Way to cap off my last meal in Oregon!

If I could give this place negative stars, it would be in the range of -10. We arrive at Thai bloom, order drinks had to re-request to get our drinks and waited 30 minutes for Thai iced teas. People were seated a half hour after us and we're served their food, ate it and left in the time it took us to still get nothing. We ordered soup as an appetizer, that took a half hour to come and it was freezing. By this point the table who are and left now had new people at it who had already gotten food!!!!! Our waitress would purposely avoid our table because she had no idea what was ever going on. We asked her several times where or food was and she said it would be right out. Time after time of asking our food was still not coming out. We asked other waitresses, the hostess and no one knew what was going on without food. After an hour of waiting we finally flagged down our waitress and said we just wanted our food to go. She said, ok it's ready I'll bring it right out. We waited another 15 minutes and she brought it out, but mentioned one of the meals STILL WASNT READY! We waited another 5 minutes got our food and got the hell out of there All in all this was the worst restaurant experience I've ever had and I will never go back.
(1)Izzat A.
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. The worst of times is that this was absolutely the slowest service I've ever gotten. Appetizer came out 50 minutes after I ordered it!!! Drinks were slow to be refilled. Just terrible service. The best of times is that this was by far the best drunken noodle that I have ever had. That's my go to dish whenever I try a new place out and this place did it perfectly. Great portions and very good spice to it. The food here is probably a 5 but the service was terrible so meeting in the middle and giving it three stars.
(3)Lauren C.
Still a favorite! We've now been back and are still loving Thai Bloom. The fried rice is something we've tried since our initial visit, and man is it good. The rice has incredible flavor, and is cooked to perfection along with a crispy variety of vegetables like bok choy, broccoli, carrots, cucumber, tomatoes, and your protein of choice. There are 3 in house made hot sauces to go along with meals. The chili paste sauce with the fried rice is just heaven. Makes my mouth sing with happiness. The "special" hot wings are still amazing, as well as the pot stickers. Along with the fried rice we have since tried the salad rolls. Oh my gosh, they are also shockingly good. Fresh ingredients, and just the right amount of everything in a flawless little roll. The Thai Peanut sauce that comes with the salad rolls is also perfection. We do something at Thai Bloom that we don't at most restaurants. That is only order apps, and a side dish. Thai Bloom does such an astoundingly good job with the basics like pot stickers and wings, we rarely make it to the main menu!
(5)Ruth N.
We ordered a mostly vegetarian meal: - vegetarian salad rolls - fried calamari - tom yom soup - thai iced tea - seasonal IPA - papaya salad - pumpkin curry - pad thai (tofu) - side of sticky rice - side of brown rice - coconut ice cream - fried banana dessert Great Pad Thai! The fried banana dessert was also very good, and unique. Friendly service, too. Would definitely come back.
(5)Laura C.
The Tom Ka kai soup was amazing. I wanted to bath in it. Curries were warming and creamy. cashew chicken good but light on chicken. Service was fantastic, attentive but not over bearing. The price was steep but we had a great meal.
(4)Chris O.
It gets crowded on the evening but with good reason, the food is excellent. I haven't ordered pad thai in years because it's usually terrible and full of ketchup, yuck, but here it was very very tasty and seemed to be sans ketchup. Te pad se ew was also very good as was the duck and well just about everything we had. We did have to wait about 25 mins for a party of four, so I suggest you expect that or make reservations.
(5)Laney D.
I ordered to go but I will definitely eat at the restaurant next time. The order took about 20 min. It was really busy when I came to pick up the food (Friday evening at 7pm). I ordered Panang curry with chicken and papaya salad with prawns. The curry was creamy and spiced just right. The papaya salad was pretty good. The prawns came with the salad on skewers (I've always had papaya salad with the shrimp mixed into the salad so this was different for me). Overall, the food was excellent! I will be coming back for sure!
(5)Kelsey E.
We've had delivery from here twice now, the first time was awesome, loved the food. Ordered the exact same thing (chicken pad Thai) but this second time it didn't taste like anything. I could taste the chicken and I could taste the noodles and the medium spice I asked for but not the pad Thai taste. We called and got the pad Thai taken off, so it was a pleasant experience. Was craving that pad Thai though. Update: they're sending new pad Thais over :) yay!! Thank you to the manager :D
(5)Mia S.
This place is INCREDIBLE! The always-lively restaurant is proof. Went there 2 times in one day even. I'm a former Typhoon lover and was so heartbroken when they closed! Thai Bloom is the result of the failed Typhoon, taking their kitchen and even a few wait staff members to create this new and improved version. But this place might even be better, if that's possible! Great chicken satay and Panang curry with beef. Not many Thai places provide sufficient beef in their curries, but this place nails if with quality and taste. A must-try!
(5)Edwin T.
Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free friendly deliciousness Thai food! If you fall in between those dietary categories, you won't be disappointed! The menu is set up so you can easily see the icons of what can be order vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free. Thai tea kicker with vanilla and alcohol was pretty good. The portions are pretty good, I always have left overs. Overall I have always had great service and food in this place.
(5)Krystal N.
I've dined in twice before and loved the food both times. This last time, I was in the area and ordered carry out during lunch time. I just got an order of pad thai, since my little kids were with me and sitting in seemed too much of a task. My toddler cant handle spicy so I ordered a regular pad thai with chili sauce on the side. When I went to pick it up after the lady told me it would be a 25 minute wait, I went in 20 minutes, the food was sitting there. The lady at the front desk was a bit short and not very friendly. She stated my total which was $8.95 , ran my card and walked off leaving the receipt on the counter to sign. ( oh and I should mention before walking off she stated your food is behind you on the counter sitting there) I thought she was going to come back to take the restaurant signed copy but she did not. I grabbed my food and quickly took a look at to verify. It looked ok but it was not very hot like it had been sitting there a while. When we got home the food was pretty cold by then and I live about 10 minutes away which was still not bad but when I tried it the flavor just tasted very overpowering of fish sauce. Also there was no chili sauce on the side. It was definitely not the best chicken pad thai I've had and there was a very strong bitterness about it I could not point out what. My toddler who usually loves pad thai did not like it at all, and kept complaining it tasted weird. Unfortunately this experience was not the best given the unfriendly staff, mediocre food, and forgetting the sauce on the side. Maybe their carry out is not the best choice for this place and its only worth it if you have time to sit in and dine. or since I haven't been here in over 6 months maybe the quality of food has gone down. I'm not sure which it is, either way I know I won't be back for a while. I loved when they were Typhoon by the way. Unfortunately this last experience fail to impress me.
(3)Suzi S.
Very happy to find a nice, clean, and delish Thai restaurant in Beaverton. I had a curry with shrimp that had nice flavors and a perfect amount of spicy for me over brown rice. The shrimp were a medium size with tails so kind of hard to eat. My husband and son shared the Pad Thai with chicken and beef noodle dish (he requested extra spice but could still have more) neither came spicy so ask for extra if you like spice! Overall a good find with a nice clean decor. We sat at the bar and the service was fine but they needed extra help as he was very busy making drinks for the restaurant which all looked really good. We will come back to check out happy hour!
(4)Elango K.
I had spicy chicken,Thai fried rice,pad thai and veg spring rool. Less oil in everything and taste very good, price is happy hour price. They are not spicy at all but I liked it lot. I have plan to visit again
(4)Snatchy B.
Thai Bloom is amazing! There are so few places in Beaverton that cater to vegan folk, so it's nice that it's easy to have different food restrictions than most. The tofu Pad See Ew is always amazing.
(5)Momi B.
This one is going to be tricky. We went there twice and the first time was 5 star worthy. The second time however...barely 3 stars. We feel the biggest difference was the service. I'm still looking for the receipt from our first visit to get the name of the server. She was terrific! Very professional, polite, knowledgeable, and attentive. She's a skinny dark haired lady with an accent. I wish I knew her name. :/ Anyway, she knew exactly what she was doing. The second time...ugh...our server's name was Chelsea. She had no concept of what vegan was (even though it's clearly on their menu). At one point we ordered the salad rolls vegan version and she seriously asked, "so prawns or tofu?" O.o Really? We also ordered the spinach wraps (which were sorely disappointing vegan or not) and she brought out this brown sauce which not only tasted like there was honey in it but possibly some kind of fish sauce. To top it off, that dish came out with some kind of shrimp on it. She took it back and they made another but did not replace the shrimp/prawns with anything. We should have been told that before we ordered it. Then we ordered the pineapple fried rice and was brought the Thai fried rice instead. We had not ordered either before so we had put some on our plates. When she was walking by I asked, "Isn't there supposed to be pineapple in this?" She said that we ordered the Thai fried rice. We told her we did not. She grabbed the fried rice and I asked if she wanted us to put back what was on our plates. She said it doesn't matter because they have to throw it away anyway! Yikes! She should have left the Thai fried rice and brought us the pineapple fried rice too. That would have been proper customer service...especially considering all the mistakes she was making beyond the fried rice. The icing was that she NEVER asked us how we were doing but asked other tables around us how they were doing. She was clearly upset with us for her mistakes. She either needs serious re-training or she needs to go work at McDonald's.
(4)Astha M.
Great Thai food. We went with a big group and majority of people ordered and loved the drunken chicken noodles. Basil fried rice and green curry were also really good! You can adjust your spice level, so it caters to all tastes. We will be back for more awesome Thai food!
(5)Alise M.
Love the food, we've given up on eating in the restaurant... Calling ahead and picking up your order is best. The happy hour and bar area is nice if you get there before it fills up.
(3)Gabrielle T.
The food was actually good but I was not impressed with the service. We went there for Happy Hour and they forgot one of our items. After we inquired about it they said it would be right out that was 15 minutes later. They didn't even apologize for it.
(3)Irene S.
The food here is not my favorite, the only reason I come here so often is because my boyfriend loves the food here. It is a bit on the pricier end and I prefer to come for the happy hour. The drunken noodles are probably my favorite dish here.
(3)Faith G.
Delicious food! They have a great happy hour as well. I love to order a little bit of everything and they make it affordable! $3 for tom yum soup with a great amount of your choice of meat, $6 great portion of drunken noodles, and $5 for the oh-so-good beef salad! My only complaint is the service when it is busy (which is always during happy hour.) they also never fail to bring out plates one by one, leaving some at the table waiting and watching as others receive their plates--awkward! I had 1 bad experience while with my family and husband where we waited over 45 min for our dinner. But the food is so good... So we return :)
(5)Mike P.
This place was super busy, but they delivered great food! Everybody working here chipped in and made sure we were happy. I left happy and full. I strongly recommend this place.
(5)T A.
1.5 hours for deliver, AND "sometimes it's up to 2.5 hours". On what planet? Prime example of poor biz skills in a 2015 environment. Too bad because food is very good andcserbice has always been great as well. Perhaps a one-off last night.
(3)Rachel C.
An absolute favorite Thai eatery! And with a new location off NW 23rd, even more accessible throughout Portland! This is where I go when I want other delicacies beyond Pad Thai. The food is always fresh and impressive. Sundays happy hour is served all day long! They have fancy and tasty cocktails, but this is a hh to hit up for small plates. Here you can indulge in exotic variety. Inside is sophisticated yet very inviting for any occasion including an impromptu lunch. Service has always been very attentive and kind. They value and appreciate their customer's experience. Keep growing Thai Bloom, you're doing it right.
(5)Kelsey E.
I could eat Thai food a couple times a week- okay probably more. I'm giving the Thai Bloom the A-OK for now, but I feel like I'm going to give it another shot and try it again soon. I am a noodle and spice lover, and the evening that we went I tried something different than my typical orders and was pretty underwhelmed. Service was friendly, but we counted and we had at least 3/4 people checking in on us, it seemed like there was a little confusion on who had our table. The place was busy though, lots of people coming in and some people ordering take out. The veggies I ordered were cooked well, where I thought my meat was tough and over cooked. Sauces were great though!
(3)Callum S.
Ordered Pad Thai with no peanuts, it came with peanuts. Thats not the annoying part, that happens all the time and isn't a big deal. What was annoying was it was a to go order, and when we phoned to get a new batch or refund we were told we were liars and asked to drive down and prove it. 10 mins of arguing later we eventually got a refund.
(1)Ed P.
We had attended to other priorities in the area, and (at 2:15PM) it was well past time for lunch. Thai Bloom had been highly recommended in the past, and this was a fine opportunity to stop in! Timing favored us; the restaurant was relatively uncrowded. We were pleasantly greeted and promptly seated. I ordered the cashew chicken and fried rice. My wife ordered a stir fry chicken dish with brown rice. Neither of these were overpoweringly spicy; they were well seasoned and very well prepared, and we enjoyed every bite! Noise levels permitted conversation without competition from nearby tables. Our server was very attentive and professional. It was a fine luncheon experience, and we hope to return for dinner. I would recommend Thai Bloom for families, for small business lunches (parties of 2-4).
(4)Satya Abhishek N.
Best thai food ever. The grilled salmon with green curry is excellent. Spicy and cooked so well. Kudos. A slice of fresh coconut on the salmon is the best ever. The taste is so good. You will want more of that tender coconut.

****HAPPY HOUR REVIEW**** My first HH experience was awesome (thanks to a fantastic waitress). We came here to celebrate a co-workers going away party. I didn't know how many to expect so we started with a table of 6. Myself and another gal ordered first while waiting for others to show up. At one point, our table was full and the table next to ours was occupied. The waitress asked the customers next to us if they wouldn't mind moving to another table so everyone at our end could be together. The customers next to us didn't mind which made the transition really smooth. The waitress we had was super sweet, down to earth and awesomely friendly. I couldn't remember her name but she had short brown hair. The Happy Hour prices are pretty good considering the amount of food. I shared the following plates with a friend: - Chicken Larb Salad - good salad but a little too spicy. Next time I order this, I'll have to ask them to lessen the peppers. -Drunken Noodles w/chicken - you can never go wrong with this option. -Chicken Skewers (can't remember the name) - chicken has great flavor and it's super tender In addition, I had a fruit drink with fresh mangos (forgot the name too). Overall, the ambience and atmosphere was fun and relaxing. I definitely would return to try their other HH items.
(5)Tracy N.
Tri ed this place for HH a long time ago under old management and it was good. Went back today for lunch time. Was impressed with the service (can be seen as 5-10min slower than normal) during the busy lunch rush. Pad Thai with tofu did not have as much tofu in it although the amount of veggies was proportional. Display of the dish was part of what made it much more enjoyable. Try their roasted rice tea (can't remember the real name) if you're into tea. It has a unique flavor that is rather refreshing - can't describe. Best, most amazing homemade coconut icecream!!! Must try. Restaurant also has a bar side so could be a plus :) Great menu with identifying alternatives that could be made (gluten free, vegan, level of spicyness,etc.).
(4)Jennifer R.
Went on a Saturday night, about a 20 min wait for a table for four. Bar area was pretty noisy and we found ourselves shouting at each other. I got the crackling duck and it was AMAZING. Perfectly done and the sauce was a great blend of sweet and spicy. Ordered the coconut ice cream for dessert and was pleasantly surprised. It was very light and not overly sweet. We will be going there again soon.
(5)Lainey A.
I had heard great things about Thai Bloom and was really disappointed. We ordered takeout at my office (just three people) and were told it would be ready for pickup at 11:15. I arrived at 11:15 on the dot--food wasn't ready, but no problem, I'd rather it be hot anyway :). I stood and responded to some work emails. At around 11:25 I politely checked in with the hostess, who said it would be up any minute. Meanwhile a few other people with numbers after mine came in and picked up food. At 11:35 I was getting a little frustrated and again very politely checked in with the hostess, who told me it was the salad rolls we ordered which were taking so long. Huh? Keep in mind I placed the order at 10:45. Long story short, they didn't bring my food out until 11:45. I was about to tell the hostess to forget about it when they finally brought it out. The person who brought it to me pushed it into my hands and walked away, no apology. I was not offered any kind of discount or even really an apology for the wait. After all that the food was cold and really nothing special. Maybe I was just there on an off day, but I work in the customer service industry--when mistakes happen, we do everything to make it right with the customer, and they didn't even really seem to care. With so many other Thai options in the area, we will not be back.
(2)Steve L.
Love going here on Sunday for their all day happy hour prices. Good food and good times. And the free home made ice cream is icing on the cake!
(5)Evelyn S.
Maybe I should have paid more attention when people told me that Thai Bloom is really good for the Westside. Or maybe I just am too much of an Eastside girl to appreciate this dining experience. We arrived a few minutes before 7 pm without a reservation. We were seated in about 5 minutes which was terrific, sadly we were seated at what can only be described as the worst table in the house. I think they could rectify the table problems easily, just by placing a tall potted plant between the waiting area and the table that is closest to the door and directly next to the bus station. The staff are all super nice and attentive without going overboard. They all seemed to genuinely like working there and with the diners. The décor is Beaverton Modern Thai. Clean, neat and sort of on the boring side. The menu is extensive. Everything sounds like it will taste wonderful. The presentation is lovely. For appetizers we enjoyed the spring rolls with prawns and the calamari. Both were tasty. The spring rolls could have benefited from a little less noodle and a little more greens. I described them to my dining companion as delicate, she agreed. The calamari were lightly coated and fried, there were no tentacles in sight. The dipping sauces were quite good for both dishes. My friend enjoyed her special Crab Pad Thai. I ordered a salad with prawns that had too much dressing. Wow, it was sopping, coated, just completely drowned in dressing. It was a bit difficult to enjoy even though the ingredients were all fresh and tasty. I would return if a friend invited me, but otherwise can't imagine suggesting it myself.
(3)Matthew S.
Awesome food we have made this place a go-to spot for us given the consistently great food, service, and willingness to accommodate vegetarian diets!
(5)Sophia T.
The food and drinks are amazing. It tends to always be busy though so if you are looking for a quick meal this is not the place to eat but if you have the time and want tasty Thai food it's great.
(4)Angie B.
The whole meal was fabulous, from beginning to end. The staff was great .....we love the soup just the right amount of spice.
(5)Josh L.
Meh. Extremely expensive for what it is. Many better places for Thai in the area. In fact. One is practically next door.
(2)Jessica S.
So i went to thai bloom because i wanna try different thai resto around beaverton! Well good reviews and so we tried! We liked the place! Big and roomy! Nice and friendly waiters! So i tried chicken tom yum well it looks yummy And i like the clear soup. Taste is good but it can be better! No strong lime flavour and basically just few pieces chicken and cherry tomatoes. Main dishes came out! Pad ped mu and green curry Honestly i was shocked bout my pad ped! It was so plain and little for 15 dollars. Taste? Just like soy sauce stir fry! No authentic thai flavours at all. I was really dissapointed about my orders. Green curry is average! But my friends liked it because there was a coconut in the curry! I think it is better than my pad ped! Good thing? My friend said the food quality is good and well cooked! He liked the mushroom so much! I dont think i will come back here because it is too pricey
(3)Landon N.
Really enjoyed this place. Surprisingly packed on a Thursday night. Great bar on one side and dining on the other. Great that I was able to enjoy an extremely filling dinner as well as watch the NBA finals. Redeemed my free coconut dessert to top off the night. Next time I'm craving quality Thai in Beaverton I'm not thinking twice.
(5)Genesis M.
I tried this place out yesterday with my friend. It was very tasty. First time trying Thai food, I will be definitely be going back to try other dishes. I had the drunken noodles , my friend had the yellow curry (vegan style), we would definitely recommend this place. Their juries are amazing they taste so natural. And the staff is really nice plus the dish work is gotgeous! :)
(4)Amy B.
Great food. That's the only reason they get two stars. HORRIBLE service. I mean, terrible. I've been to this location several times. I waited 15 min for anyone to come to my table. Meanwhile, I saw servers going to tables multiple times who had arrived AFTER me. Second, I was charged 6.99 for a well rum and thai iced tea. Really????????? I understand it was thai tea but that's the mixer. When you create a mix, it should be a "built drink"... meaning you have less mixer than if you just ordered that plain. If I ordered a rum and coke I guess it would be $6? Terrible. No one apologized for the extreme wait or being ignored beyond what was reasonable. It seemed the servers were running back and forth but doing nothing.
(2)Robert G.
Best of all is check in and get one free item. Bring a friend with their yelp Place is not busy Sunday at 2;44 pm. Chicken wings are amazing. I ordered the crab pad thai and did not like it. The drunken noodles are delicious. My friend went hell crazy over the pineapple curry. I liked it but I was scared watching him eat it. I ordered the coconut vodka, fresh lime juice cocktail special and it was delicious enough to go buy the ingredients and serve it at home. Great place. Highly recommend it.
(5)Amy B.
I love finding great places to dine in the burbs. Thai Bloom has great food and a great space. Up front is very modern, even Portlandia style. In the back its much more like a plain dining room, but the tables are so spread out it's a great place for a lunch meeting or just being with friends without feeling like you are sitting right on top of your neighbors. I ordered the Pad Se Ew and it was a large serving and was really good. I will definitely be back. Also I checked in with Yelp and got a free Coconut ice cream. I am not a huge fan of ice cream, but thought I would at least try it. This was so good I ate the whole thing. Great lunch spot.
(5)Samantha M.
Great happy hour. Food is affordable and delicious. Good location and a good amount of seating.
(5)Roxanne B.
I've only ever been here for happy hour, many times. If you check in with Yelp on your phone here, you can get a free coconut ice cream! As someone who has been to Thailand many times, the food is quite authentic, and they have a great cocktail list too. I will be back!
(4)shalana u.
Excellent!! The calamari was still in good condition despite i went for delivery. The food was great! I will be ordering again!
(5)Joshua M.
People were nice and everything, but the food was mediocre at best. It's not bad, just not as good as some places. Had the pad Thai and it was kind of flavorless in my opinion. The dishes are all presented well, but for me I'm looking for flavor.
(3)Brian K.
Excellent service and food! We had the spinach leaves with toasted coconut, peanuts, lime, ginger, shrimp as an appetizer and it was delicious. Pineapple pork curry was absolutely perfect as well. Thai ice tea - phenomenal.
(5)Heather B.
Great Service. Great food. Great cocktails. Love the all ages happy hour. Nice to have a place to get a good drink and dinner as a family. ;-)
(5)Brian C.
The food is excellent and their happy hour prices are pretty hard to beat! I haven't sampled much from the main menu, I usually just go in for happy hour, but if those dishes are any indication of what to expect then I need to go in for more!

Great food, good service. Sat at he bar because it was crazy busy on a Sunday night. Had a vegetarian colleague with me and he loved the food. I can't vouch for the authenticity, but I enjoyed it all. If you travel on business, yelp is a godsend. Another great meal, thanks Yelp!

We went for happy hour and were promptly seated, even though the place was packed. We ordered the orange spare ribs, calamari, veggie spring rolls, fried rice, and edamame. The Thai tea cocktail I ordered had more liquor than not, and was delicious. We got all of this for less than $30. The food was authentic tasting but with a modern spin and it came out quick and hot. We will definitely be back.

This is my go-to place for happy hour. Great deals, amazing food, and delicious cocktails. The service can be slow at times, but the workers are always friendly. My favorite things on the happy hour menu are the veggie spring rolls, fried calamari, and the Thai Tea Kicker. Those are definitely must-try items. On the regular dinner menu, they have a great selection of curry. It's more spendy, but it's completely worth the price. The atmosphere is very laid-back, and I have never felt like the workers are trying to rush me out of the restaurant, even if I spend a while in there chatting with my friends. I would highly recommend this for a night out with friends-- there are so many delicious things to choose from!

Thai Bloom is different, when compared to Thai Roses and other places. You have the choice of a quiet area or a loud area, both are quite nice. I would say the atmosphere and food are definitive and tasty. If you like Thai food, then you should give this place a try. You might be pleasantly surprised.

I was pretty sure I reviewed this place, I think I reviewed it when it was Thai Derm, but I'll review it again- it is in fact a different business. I have only been there for a few times but the food is amazing! Not your run of the mill Thai food. The chef is excellent which is represented in the food. So delicious and enticing. The most interesting thing of course was this place gaining a FULL bar, they have an awesome HH which I had the fortune to partake in last night. I highly recommend. The food they have for HH is just right, good choices and just enough the wet the palate! Definitely going to get on some HH here before the summer end!

Service was slow today usually I don't have wait this long ... I hate a watch our food sit on the counter waiting to be brought out to our table .. :( otherwise food was good..
(3)Krysta S.
Thai bloom was recommended by a friend and living on the west side of town where the selection of good restaurants isn't as plentiful we had to try. The happy hour is great and all Sunday is happy hour. Between two of us we had 5 dishes and four glasses of wine and it came to just under $30! The tom kah soup is fabulous and when poured over their jasmine rice... Omg. The atmosphere is nice and makes it feel like you're not in to he suburbs. I can't, however, say it's the best thai food I've ever had bet a definite solid choice. The only other negative is the bathroom temperature. Ever time I've gone it is comparable to a sauna in there... Not sure why but definitely uncomfortable.

This is a gem of a Thai restaurant. Location: okay, it's way out there in Beaverton - on Cedar Hills Blvd at Westgate, in a little brick strip mall across from the BMW dealer. It is way better than the dozen Thai restaurants I've tried in central Portland though so it's worth the trip. Ambiance: This is the other reason (besides the food) that this place gets and deserves high ratings. It doesn't feel like a dive in fact the opposite. There is tons of parking, a nice central bar and plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. The place is clean and the wait staff are very friendly. 5 stars for all this. Menu: The menu is refreshingly varied and unlike the standard list of classic dishes you see everywhere else. For this alone it is special. But they also have original dishes made with seasonal ingredients and more fresh vegetables. They have a number of salads you will not find anywhere else. They have a seasonal menu (spring-summer or fall-winter) and they have a happy hour menu. The menu uses a symbol system for the hot factor, and the food is on the mild side. I(f you are looking for very hot Thai food, go to Baan Thai in downtown Portland.) Food Rating: I give the food 4 1/2 stars. We got a 'summer special' tempura asparagus salad that was spectacular. . Nicely trimmed dark greens, pulled chicken, shrimp and the melt in your mouth tempura asparagus. All perfectly dressed with a fresh and mildly spicy dressing. The waterfall steak salad was also excellent - tender spicy hot beef w fresh scallions over large romaine leaves. This one is Paleo perfect! The Tom Kha soup was flavorful with lots of green beans, mushrooms, etc. but the coconut was too thick and rich and it was missing the tartness of lime and lemongrass. This was the only real disappointment. The crab pad thai was sublime. The generous crab was lightly breaded and grilled I think - fresh and still hot. The egg also was not overcooked, still tender. The chicken was excellent quality, not dry. It was clearly just made for us. We look forward to going again soon and I may update the food info. If you don't live there, find an excuse to go to Beaverton and try this place. Just don't do it during rush hour.

WARNING to all customers. Check your receipt against your bank statement! I ordered takeout today and did not tip them because it took 1/2 to get me the food and they did not make it to my specification. So my totaI I authorized was $27.98. However, my online bank statement indicated that they charged me for $33.58. So my server Nam decided to give herself a 20% tip without my authorization. This is considered FRAUD and I've reported it to my bank. Will be contacting the restaurant owner/manager next.
(1)Jenn C.
My favorite. They make yellow curry, pad Thai, and Tom ka soup vegan for us and it's THE BEST!
(5)Mike C.
Very, very good Thai food. I love Thai food and have eaten it all of over the US and in Thailand. I have been ordering Thai Bloom from Delivered Dish for a year or two. Every time the food is excellent, especially considering it spends 20 minutes or more in a car before it gets to our house. Tonight we got massaman beef and cashew chicken. Bothe were excellent. The beef was incredibly tender and flavorful. The chicken was excellent and the vegetables were cooked PERFECTLY, crisp but not undercooked. Somebody was really paying attention to the details when they prepared our meal. If you want good, honest Thai food, Thai Bloom is the place.
(5)Maggie L.
Came here based on the rave reviews. A bit of wait on a Sat night for a table of 2. Long lineup for bigger parties without reservation (30min wait). Parking is ample. Has a big LCD screen showcasing their dishes right at the restaurant's entrance waiting area; a rather smart biz tactic as ppl are more willing to try new food when they know how it looks like. May be that is how they draw ppl to the restaurant despite the food is just a-ok by Portland standards. Food: A-ok. Ordered Papaya salad and Pad Kee Mao. Both were tasty but had no special kick. Didn't wow us. Portion is on the big side; great for sharing. Not enough basil in the Kee Mao to enhance the dish aroma. The salad used too much fish sauce and didn't quite balance out the palm sugar, so it ended up being a bit too salty. The fried bananas dessert was disappointing; its batter coating was so thick and over fried, and it pitifully came with only 4 short strips of fried bananas - each split in half - that is only 1 whole banana was being used in the making of this dish. Given bananas are relatively cheap, why cannot they put more in as supposed to cheat & fill the plate up with fried coconuts - which was not even part of the dish description. If we didn't have the cup of free coconut ice-cream from checking-in on Yelp, we wouldn't be able to chew any of these down. Atmosphere: Clean & decent. Good for groups. Lot families visited when we were there. Service: Slow in general, but consider it was a Sat night full house, it is considered acceptable. Price: Comparable to other thai places in town. Verdict: Had better Thai else there. Don't know what the rave is all about.

Picked up our CSA share and looked at all the veggies that needed preparing. It made me tired. Hmm. Lets go out for Thai! Previously Thai Bloom had contacted me through Yelp and asked me to come in and try them I didn't like that so I held out for a long time. Hubby reminds me that I don't get to be anonymous on here because its public. I should get over myself. So we went. The verdict? 3.5. Maybe 3.75. Just shy of a 4 for us. The restaurant inside is beautiful. Far nicer than it was when it was Thai Derm. The service was efficient and reserved. It felt a little formal. The dishes were pretty to look at. This is what we ordered: Seafood cream cheese wonton.( crunchy with tamarind sauce) Panang curry with chicken.( nice veggies tasty curry) Bbq pork with egg noodles.( pork, egg noodles, two steamed shrimp dumplings,a crispy wonton, some greens, a scatter of crushed red pepper all in a clump) Pineapple fried rice with tofu. ( not much rice, oodles of veggies and pineapple) Chicken satay with cucumber salad and steamed white rice for Princess. ( all very nice, cucumber salad large and delicious) Raspberry lemon drop (2, these were perfect and delicious) Pineapple express (booze and fruit juices) Thai iced tea (2, Princess inhaled hers) Total $80 This was a fairly expensive dinner and yes we had beverages and an appetizer, but the entrees were a tad more than our usual two Thai places. Really its a lovely place for a meal and the food was tasty. I think maybe we like our Thai a little less formal. But try it! They have outside tables and a sweet bar, too.

Really good happy hour. Tom yum soup was soon good. There food is awesome!!! Really good prices.
(4)Duane P.
I finally got to try out Thai Bloom. It looks to be one of the better places to have Thai food in Beaverton where I work. I thought I would have another version of Kao Soi. It is a Northern Thai based dish. I had a great version at Mee Dee but it was a little too rich with coconut milk. Thai Bloom's wasn't as rich with a little more sour to it. I liked it but one qualm I had is I wish they would have thinner slices of the red onion in it. It is a very filling dish for those who haven't had it. It is must have. I also had the handmade coconut ice cream which is free with checking in on Yelp. It was also excellent. I see why the food along with the service gets it's 4.25 overall rating on Yelp.
(4)Valerie W.
Really enjoyed Happy Hour here. The portions were good and the prices even better. I sat immediately at the bar and noticed that it was indeed pretty crowded. Was nice to see they had a TV to watch the game on. Service was a touch slow as they seemed to have forgotten or just taken extra long to come out with my order of food. ORDER: Thai kicker drink - not overly sweet like a normal thai iced tea. Good blend with the vanilla vodka. Spicy basil chicken - good sized portion for HH. Plenty of green beans, peppers, basil, and chopped chicken. Overall was pretty good and not overly spicy. Tom Yum Soup - ordered the veggie version and didn't realize it came with huge chunks of tofu (should have asked). The soup was the highlight. Very flavorful broth. Tofu was so big though that it took up a lot of space in the small cup and therefore didn't get much actual soup. Coconut ice cream - Got the yelp check in deal. Was a small scoop of the ice cream with chocolate sauce and nuts. Quite good if you ask me. It was normally $4.95 on the menu...didn't seem like a big portion if that's the cost unless it was small just for the free deal. No biggie. Would recommend this place most definitely. Great Thai food for the area. Reasonable prices. They even let me take my HH food home which many places don't allow.
(4)martin b.
The food here is very good, but the call in and takeout times vary substantially. We waited over an hour last night for our takeout, which was promised in 20 minutes! Our meal last night overall was quite good: Garlic chicken 8/10 Drunken noodles 8/10 Pineapple curry 6/10 (way too salty, even for curry).
(3)Shikha C.
A Thai place that I am looking forward to visit again! Happy hour was a happy surprise for us! They have enough vegan options. Liked Tom Kha Soup ,Pad Thai and Spring Rolls. I highly recommend their Yellow Curry.Portion is good enough for two.We ended with coconut ice-cream which was yumm and had fresh strawberries on top. Very nice, quiet place and our server was very warm and helpful(best service in a Thai Restaurant so far). I will go again for their food and service!!
(4)Nicole T.
5 stars for service but the reason I gave this place 3 was because it was not authentic Thai nor spicy. In fact it was so opposite of spicy that it was sweet and we ordered it extra spicy with a side of fresh Thai chili from the back...still not spicy enough. They definitely cater to the American tastebuds. I ordered the Massaman Beef Curry, the ingredients were fresh and the quality of beef was great but it lacked in spice BIG TIME. My boyfriend ordered the Basil Chicken which he ordered extra spicy as well and though the ingredients were fresh it lacked flavor and again Spiciness. We also ordered the Papaya Salad and that was probably the sweetest I've ever had it, we actually asked them to remake it spicy like we had ordered it but still came back non spicy. I've worked in a Thai kitchen, one of my best friend is Thai and my boyfriend is Cambodian so maybe I just have high standards for Thai food...which is my favorite by the way. Sadly we will not be returning and our search for BOMB Thai continues!
(3)Pahnou V.
Food is soo good here and waiters are so nice GREAT place prices are decent this has to be my new favorite thai food now
(5)Tracy H.
Thai Bloom is a newer, authentic Thai restaurant in Beaverton. I understand that the Owner and some of the staff started it when Typhoon closed its doors. Their dishes are more traditional and authentic than most of the other Thai spots I have tried in town. The servers are friendly and helpful. I recommend the Panang Curry, Spicy Chicken Basil, and Lao-style Papaya Salad. You will not be disappointed!
(4)Suyash K.
Food is pretty good and so is the wine. The menu is a little short so you don't get a very vast choice. But the taste covers up for this. Service is a little on the slower side - so if you have ample time, ho ahead without any second thoughts. I felt that the furniture needs to be maintained a bit too - like shaved edges of tables etc. On the whole, an average place with awesome food. I'd go again just for the taste.
(4)Raj R.
With the variety of choices available for Thai Food, this place is worth a visit. Friendly staff and nice ambience. The only downside is the time it took for the food to arrive. I would recommend calling ahead of time to place your order. We have been doing this recently and enjoying a delicious lunch in less than an hour. Every item on their menu is tasty. Decent happy hour options as well.
(4)Janine H.
The service was a little slow when we went but it was during peak dinner hour. The staff was nice and the food was really good. Would Come back.
(4)Lisa H.
Best Thai Food in Beaverton area I am from Thailand and food is here pretty authentic. My husband and I eat here once a week. Service is very slow so you have to order right away if you have an hour for lunch.
(3)Debbie B.
OMG, I love this place. Just moved from CA Bay Area and was craving Thai food...are you kidding me?!?!?! The way they prepare their food is amazing. Nothing greasy; vegetables cooked well; yet to have a bad meal (LOVE the leftovers). Not familiar with the area, I had delivery (3-4 times so far). Delivery pricey to Tigard, but WHO CARES! I can never get enough of the "Bloomin' Fish"! Coming from the SF area, I've had panko fried Halibut (hmm), but theirs is AMAZING. Crispy on the outside; tender on the inside (isn't that a KFC phrase). I raved about this place so much that my beloved Oregonian friends (meticulous eaters) decided to try it. We actually went to the restaurant and THEY LOVED IT (shocker). I could go on and on about Thai Bloom (love the fried calamari; tofu; salad rolls; even a plain salad), but we all have our taste-buds loves, but try this place @ least once...guarantee you'll find something you love/like it. P.S. I usually don't ramble this much in reviews. :o)
(5)Nikk G.
This place was super good. Good size portions and a nice upscale Thai feel. I love they they had a bunch of non traditional dishes. I tend to get bored with places when they all have the same content on the menu.
(4)Shaheeen S.
Happy hour is great! Their thai iced tea is amazing, second to a thai basil in downtown Portland!
(4)Daniel G.
Went during happy hour. We ordered four dishes and only one was decent. They use some weird seasoning on the pad thai and fried wings so it smells and tastes funky. The spinach dip is runny and they use cheap tortilla chips to boot. Bar tender was young and inexperienced. I usually dont write bad reviews but i was pretty disappointed w these guys. Proceed w caution.
(2)Chris J.
Nice clean good restaurant. Some dishes are very good (5 stars) but some are just 2 stars. 5 stars dishes are like Masamarn beef, it takes a long time to cook this and Thai bloom did do the diligent. However, the duck dishes are disappointed, old, overnight, chewy duck on salad and others, to charge a premium price? Some good dishes disappeared - probably take more effort to make so they want to just retain easier, less time consuming and high profit dish. I hope they keep their effort in this instead of expanding so fast and lost the originality. A little pricier for the portion and type of food!
(3)Y B.
This is not authentic. Not sure what the other reviews ate, but this is not very good.
(2)stacy n.
This place is also good for having a snack in happy hour. paid 2.99 for wine 5.99 for main dish. I love it.
(5)Linda H.
This place is one of my favorite Thai places in Beaverton. My favorite item here is the Tom Yum Noodles, but I order it "dry" so it's not brothy but instead has a concentrated flavor. I also really like the Spicy Basil Chicken as it has the perfect amount of spice, crispy basil leaves, and juicy chicken. The pineapple curry is also quite good but be sure to order something savory along with it as it can be quite sweet on it's own. Don't forget to check in to get their free homemade coconut ice cream. It's refreshing and delicious. There's usually a wait to get seated and the food can take longer than usual to come out as they're usually quite busy. Addition: some other awesome dishes I've tried... - Tom yum soup with prawns - miang kham: great flavorful appetizer - crab fried rice - drunken fish - papaya salad Lao style
(5)Armando O.
Prices were ok if not good. Food was soso.. Curry was not what I expected. Very dry dish. The flavor was pretty good but the consistency of the dish was not. Drinks were good.. Service was really good
(3)Jessica W.
Eating at Thai Bloom was a very unusual experience and I have mixed feelings about this experience. First of all, the service was very effective and fast, and the staff very warm and friendly, so that is a plus. We had food to go, I ordered green curry with prawns, because it is one of my favorites, my friend had a yellow curry dish with chicken. The taste was very good, and fresh, the perfect combination of ingredients, except it was on the salty side. Green curry is already spicy on its own, then with some extra salt, it can be a bit overwhelming. My friend's curry was also very salty. So it'd be good if they could use much less salt in the food in general. One thing I was not happy about was the green curry was too liquid, the consistency was more like a soup and the bad part was there was not much food in it, either of veggies nor the shrimp. I was able to find only few shrimp in it and even the bamboo and the eggplants pieces were like invisible, so no much to chew, but lots of liquid. I am putting an extra star only because there was real, fresh baby coconut meat in it, so that was a plus too, on the other hand it was not enough either, so overall it was a an extremely small portion, not even enough for a small kid, and with way too small amount of veggies /shrimp
(4)Gonzalo V.
Ive been to this place twice and their food is really good. The place is very nice inside and pleasant. A bit pricey but I would still recommend.
(4)Srujal S.
Excellent food which was unlike Thai I had ever tasted before. They have many unique items and combinations on the menu. This was my first time there but I can't wait to return to try the other options. Service was excellent and the dessert was killer. Thank you for an excellent time experience. Oh and one more thing, they give you warm towels after your meal. Never had that experience before. Awesome!!!
(5)Arielle S.
We had the panang curry and drunken noodles, both were phenomenal! Will return very soon!
(5)Scott H.
If you're gonna be above the bar, you better bring it. This place has a pretty slick photographer and a pretty ambitious menu which piqued our interest. Location is not superb. It's kind of where businesses go to die in Beaverton. We sat down at an empty table for happy hour. Were not even acknowledged, so we went to get a table at the restaurant. Happy hour got us there, but we never got to experience it. Lame. The restaurant appeared to only have one waiter. He was holding his own pretty well, but some more help never hurt a place. I got the crab pad thai. The pad thai was pretty good, but had a taste of burned garlic that was a little unpleasant. The crab was not very much, or at least not enough to warrant the steep price. Lots of bits of shell too. My wife got the Drunken Noodles. These kept this place from getting 1 star. Great flavor. Now the price point is a little high. I will pay more for location or superior ingredients and product. This place didn't have bad ingredients but it didn't warrant the price tag. And location...if anything they should be charging less for the location. Another super annoying this was there is a major electrical problem because the lights kept flickering. Come on guys. Hire some help. Hire an electrician and bring your prices back down to earth.
(3)Joe P.
Went here for lunch with a couple of coworkers and the place was packed, took about 5 minutes to get seated no big deal. The food was just ok, very lacking in flavor. I had to drown my Drunken Noodles in hot sauce to get more flavor. The service was awful, we constantly had to wave down random servers to ask for items because our waitress was off doing bigger and better things apparently. With all the great food choices around this area I don't think I'll be back to Thai Bloom.
(2)Andy B.
Came in here with the old famdamily after fighting the post christmas crowds at the mall. Craving some thai food, ma suggested this little place. Nice little chow pad. Relatively small but the staff is uber friendly. Could just be that portland vibe going on here. Well bonus points for mom on this one, happy hour food and apps. Cheap and a lot of food ranging for 2-$6. Yes ma'am we will have one of each. And keep the Mai tais flowing. Handcrafted cocktails for under 5$ I'm on board pick me up in an a few hours. Calamari, chicken larb and drunken noodle. Not one to judge but watch out here I go. I judge thai food places by the pad Thai and calamari. Calamari super good. The sauce is what makes it not to chewy but not over cooked. Pad Thai. Great flavor just enough spice that I won't be regretting my choice later this evening (hot in hot out). Pretty surprised at this little place it looks like a little strip mall but the inside is comparable to the fancy smancy places you would take your g-ma to after your graduation party but with much less of the drama and judgement. Gotta go yo last call for happy hour gotta get mah noodle on. Peace out broskis. Headed back to the cali surf tomorrow !!!
(5)Michael S.
This is hands down my favorite Thai restaurant! My girlfriend and I have been coming here since they first opened, and we always choose this if we have a craving for some great Thai food! Great for take out, dinner, and happy hour. The chicken pad thai is fantastic! Also, they have Happy Hour all day on Sunday!!! I highly recommend their spring rolls. The sweet chili sauce that they serve with them is amazing! Writing this review is making me hungry, so I should probably just stop now. In conclusion, it is good!
(5)Donna R.
I LOVE Thai Bloom! They make great curry dishes and have a great happy hour allows you to try some dishes you don't usually order and find some more favorites. Portions are good and prices are pretty reasonable.
(5)Puneet S.
This is the place to go to if you are a Thai food lover! They have avery good selection of vegetarian dishes. I have ordered dinner Takeaways for my family as well as had visited this place for office lunch. Food has always been great. Highly recommend!
(5)S C.
The best Thai food in town! A little crowded on a Friday evening, but well worth the wait.
(5)britta w.
We live close and occasionally order in or go to the restaurant, but usually go to the bar for happy hour. Ordering in can get pricey with delivery fee. Happy hour is a great deal, as is the lunch menu. Love the curries and drunken noodles, also the salad rolls and kao soi noodles. Service can get a little slow when they are busy, which they usually are. Everyone is very nice and you really can't beat the happy hour prices and portions.
(5)Jeanette P.
My new favorite Thai restaurant. This place is a winner in all area. Nice ambience. Great service. Delicious food. Been there twice now, and both times I have eaten till my stomach hurts, it's that good, can't stop.
(5)Katie S.
My favorite thai place! I love their happy hour and crab pad thai. The pah kee mao was on the salty side, but still good. Great service too! Will be back for more deliciousness.
(5)Nadia H.
Yummy drunken noodles and good service. Wait can be annoying as it's a bit small but I defly recommend!
(3)Jerlyn A.
Great QUALITY thai food here....the curry is amazing!!! I came here with a group of friends when most of Portland/Beaverton was closed due to the snow...this place was one of the only places that stayed open! I'm so glad they did. A friend from out of town ordered the pad Thai and said that it was the best she had ever had. We ordered the panang curry with beef, and the beef was so soft and you could tell the curry was quality and not watered down. Great happy hour as well, love the vibe/decor. Definately a great place to go after work for a drink and amazing Thai food!

(5)Christopher A.
So incredibly disappointed. I was so excited to get good Thai food, and thought the incredibly high yelp ratings would help me find a nice place. Totally a miss, paid a dollar or two above regular prices for quality, got less than mediocre pad Thai. Not sure if it was an off night, not sure if people give them bonus points for service and/or delivery, but it was not that special. Not even good Thai food. I reserve my final decision until I eat in, but they would have to have an amazing in restaurant experience to negate the sub-par take out I received (Also, It was a mutual feeling of hoo-hum, not a specific bad plate that I received or individual opinion).
(2)Megan H.
Excellent Thai food, great selection, everything was tasty especially swimming rams and pineapple fried rice. Service is awesome but make reservations on Friday Saturday night. Take out is the way to go if you are in a hurry.
(5)Faye F.
My roommate and I had dinner here because she said it's one of the best-tasting Thai food she's had. I happen to agree that this is great Thai food in Beaverton. I tried their crab pad thai and OMG AMAZING! They have plenty of large crab pieces (NOT ARTIFICIAL CRAB) and the overall taste of the dish is just delicious! I wished that it was spicy like how some Thai places make it, but I won't knock them down for that. I also tried their Thai fried rice which we ordered spicy and it was great; the spiciness was perfect! I also recommend their Veggie Spring Rolls because it's so yummy; it comes with this great plum sauce that complements the rolls really well!! We also tried a couple of their drinks (Mai Tai and Peaking Blossom) which was pretty good but maybe a teensy bit pricey for what they are. Check-in on yelp and get complementary coconut ice cream. Their ice cream was delicious and coconuty; we loved it!
(4)PJ D.
The food here is very very good but it is so crazy expensive. I've been here on several occasions and the food has taken forever to come out in the past. They are very accommodating for a big party which is great but there are other good Thai choices in Beaverton that are much more reasonably priced.
(3)Ruchi B.
I recently went back for some take out! Was wary of doing takeout from a place where i love the food for the fear of spoiling my impression. However, Thai Bloom met my expectations, my drunken noodles and Pad Thai and Yellow curry were as tasty and fresh as I would have had them in the restaurant. But I am going to go back for some soup, which i did not order.
(4)Justin M.
Stopped in at Thai Bloom for lunch. The drunken noodles were very good and a paradise tea washed it down nicely. Checked in on yelp for a free coconut ice cream that was actually really good - much better than I expected. I would rate every part of my experience 4 stars. Service, food, and atmosphere.
(4)Mike B.
Excellent food and service! The pumpkin curry and eggplant stir fry were amazing. Definitely returning.
(5)Fiona R.
Thai Bloom is my favorite restaurant! So thankful friends introduced us! Staff very friendly, great service, beautiful & delicious food. I have never been disappointed! I highly recommend the pumpkin curry!! Can't wait for my next visit.
(5)Shira L.
We had the curry puffs, ahi larb, crispy duck, chicken drunk noodles and the salmon yellow curry (special order). Everything was so tasty! The staff was friendly too. Definitely coming back next time in town.
(5)Erin C.
The boyfriend and I were originally going to wander around the Pearl District for our weekly date night, but after sitting on 26 East for thirty-five minutes and only having traveled about three miles, we pulled off and went to Thai Bloom hoping to catch the end of their happy hour. I am SO glad we did. We were greeted warmly by the smiling host and encouraged to sit wherever we'd like in the bar area for happy hour. A waitress appeared a moment later who was happy to answer my questions and make recommendations. Our drinks came quickly enough; I had the Pear Blossom which had pear coconut vodka, fresh citrus, and soda over ice in a tall glass. The boyfriend is a thai tea-aholic and couldn't help himself; he had a cocktail that was thai iced tea with vanilla vodka and cinnamon. Both drinks were very good and we were surprised by how strong they were. Happy hour price $5 each. Thai Bloom also has a great selection of beers and wines I believe, but one drink was all I ended up needing. We ordered spring rolls, tom kha gai, tofu pad thai, and the chicken with crispy basil. Each dish came hot and fresh and was obviously prepared with care. The tom kha was some of the best I've had in my life; absolutely rich and creamy with perfectly cooked ingredients and full of flavor. The waitress was happy to bring us a free homemade coconut ice cream after I showed her I had checked in on yelp. Neither the boyfriend nor I really like coconut, and we both found the ice cream heavenly. It was beautifully presented with mint leaves, strawberries, and drizzled in chocolate and peanuts. A lovely end to an incredible and fun meal. The total came to $30; this was AFTER leaving our fantastic waitress a deserving tip. Impeccable service, amazing happy hour food at great prices, good stiff drinks...sure beats PDX traffic, that's all I can say.

Really enjoyed the pad thai and yellow curry, both cooked to a savory and unique perfection. I would have expected more food for $11.95, what the pad thai cost (much more than what seems to be the standard among Thai restaurants of this nature), but the taste was definitely unmatched in other restaurants. The service, however, was consistently slow and the atmosphere was eery and hostile with too many tables and chairs in the room. The two chefs who co-opened this restaurant have a lot of potential to make this a great replacement to Typhoon.

I thought they had good happy hour. I was a fan, and I'd go back if I want Thai food on the west side. There are better places in Portland, but this is a good place for the burbs. I got drunken noodles with tofu, yum. I also got the spring rolls but they weren't my favorite. I'd say check it out for happy hour though.

We have continued to go to Thai Bloom on a regular basis, but today may have been the last time. There were a number of things that were just terrible with today's experience. First, the price has increased 9.5% on the dishes that we usually get. The prices here were already high compared to other local Thai places, so an increase of that much is pretty substantial. The increase seemed to pay for unnecessary new equipment for the restaurant. There's now a large flat panel display when you walk in that shows pictures of some dishes on the menu. Really? Why is that at all necessary? It's distracting. There also seems to be some new POS equipment. When placing the order on the phone, it was odd that they now ask for a last name. It's not a big deal, of course, but it almost seemed like they were tracking us. I'm guessing their new system is part of the reason for this. Most importantly, the food was terrible today. Not just bad as compared to what we're used to, but just bad. I ordered my dish medium and the boyfriend ordered his very spicy. His had almost no spice to it and mine was on the hot end of spicy. It's possible they just confused the two, but even if that was the case it would have been wrong. More importantly, though, it was cooked poorly. The vegetables were almost raw and the chicken was inedible. Seriously, this was the first time I could think of that I actually wasn't willing to eat the chicken in my Thai dish. I know I'm a little picky about chicken, but the boyfriend took it and even commented that it was "almost jerky." I can drive into town and pick up food from Monsoon that is much more consistent in quality (not perfect, but much better) and still pay less even when you factor in the gas. I almost called to get my money back. Handing out a two-star review may be generous.

I ordered pineapple fried rice from Thai Bloom to be delivered. It came a little earlier than they said (45 minutes rather than an hour), but it would have been well worth the wait of the hour. The gentleman at the restaurant was a real pro at taking the order, and the delivery person was extremely polite and solicitous. Even though in plastic clam-shell serving container, the presentation was very attractive, and the food was perfectly warm. Wish you could have been here when I opened the clam-shell server to smell the lovely scent of Thai basil wafting out, and the taste, wow the taste. Wonderful combination of a little heat, a little sweet from the pineapple, and some crunch and depth from onions. The rice was gorgeous, perfectly done, as was the added egg scrambled in. I'll have to go to the restaurant some time, but for now the delivery end of the business does a fine job with some very delicious food. You're sure to be turned into a fan if you eat there at the restaurant or order food to be delivered.

I give Thai bloom one star because the food was at least good! The reason why it only gets one star is because the service was horrible. On my birthday I chose to do take out. I called my order in and was told it would be about 25 min. When I got there I was told it would be another 5 min. Which was fine. 5 min goes by, 10 min goes by, 15 min goes by and was told it should be up shortly. I waited for my order for 50 min!!! And not only that they didn't even have my order correct. I really want to like this place and I know it was busy but there should have been no excuse for getting my order wrong and having to wait almost an hour for my order!! Never going back!
(1)Shirley L.
Another great experience at Thai Bloom!. Updated happy hour menu since our last visit (and updated price). We tried several new (to us) dishes including spicy wings (super crispy and packed some heat) and coconut ice cream (which lived up all the hype!). As always, the service is great especially this time we have an active baby with us. However, the price is no longer attractive for the portion AND tastes, therefore a drop in rating for us. I would go back because how baby friendly it is.
(3)Suzanne H.
Love this place and go here all the time. I've only actually eaten inside once, which was great. But I love getting take out. Their steamed pot stickers are amazing and the Chicken Fried Rice is awesome as well. Actually anything you get here is going to be great.
(4)Justin T.
We went tonight for the first time.. Based on a recommendation.. Just for a little background.. Thai food is part of my regular diet and I've eaten at a lot if different Thai restaurants and carts.. Pros: we were seated quickly, everyone was extremely nice and service was rather quick for a busy Friday evening. The good seemed to be good quality, fresh and warm. Cons: I don't believe their chef is Thai, they try to be upscale and are likely trying to take the old Typhoon crowd; however some concepts fell short. Pot Stickers (golden sacks) were delicious Panang Curry had too much coconut milk but was flavorful BBQ pork entree was atrocious, it was Chinese BBQ pork that was cooked and then battered, then deep fried and then covered in a chili sauce.. It was terribly dry as you could imagine. Ginger Orange Chicken - the orange tasted fresh but there was so much ginger it stung like wasabi Pineapple fried rice was the biggest disappointment.. It had a lot of curry and not much other flavor to it.. Nothing compared to the fried rice at other local establishments. The prices were a little high even for the quality.. Most places that charge $12 for pineapple fried rice include vegetables, chicken and shrimp.. Not either vegetables or chicken and $2 more for shrimp. I probably won't return.. There is much better Thai in the area.. ( Peppertree Thai and Thai Cabin)

Thai Bloom is easily the best thai restaurant in the area. We especially love the happy hour menu. The owner is super friendly and seems to be always there, serving tables. In short: nice atmosphere, delicious food and very friendly and helpful service.
(5)Destiny B.
The Tom Kha soup is unreal. It is so, so delicious. Also had the pad thai which was very good.
(4)Faisal H.
Great food as always. It's My go to place for Thai food. A little pricier than other Thai restaurants but I definitely love it's food. Overeating all the time
(5)Dara H.
Love this place's happy hour! I've tried a bunch of things on the happy hour menu as well as the regular menu and everything has been great!
(5)Roger C.
Happy hour makes for very reasonable prices, but I've come at other times too. Everything is great here. I've had the pad Thai, the red, green, and panang curry. The Thai iced tea is perfect.
(5)Dop T.
Good food esp for vegetarians and good ambience with good service. Now that's all I've got to say!
(5)Kai C.
This place can be deserted or completely packed. Came here for dinner on a weeknight and we were the only people in the restaurant. Came back for lunch on a Sunday had to wait 20 min for a table. The food here was very good. Had the fried rice and the green curry. Both were excellent there are also extensive gluten free options.
(4)Steve B.
Food was delicious. Cream cheese stuffed wontons, green curry and pineapple fried rice - all amazing.
(5)Adriana R.
This place took an hour to get our food and the food wasn't even flavorful. There's other restaurants out there that offer gluten free, dairy free, etc. people!
(1)Henry L.
Good food, friendly service. Try the pad kee mao and the green curry.
(4)Liz T.
3.5 stars For all those fans of Typhoon, Rejoice! Thai Bloom is your answer. Rumor has it, the chefs from the old restaurants collaborated together to open Thai Bloom after the closings of Typhoon. The Tom Kha was good, rich, a spicy, flavorful, and full of fresh veggies. The broth is a bit richer than I would like it to be, I prefer the version at Thailand restaurant a bit better, but overall still very tasty. The crab pad thai was a bit too sweet for me, it overpowered the crab flavor. But I am in LOVE with the spicy chicken wings. They are extra crispy and stay nice and hot. We waited about 10 minutes after the wings were set on the table before we dug in, and the wings were still piping hot. They are also covered in a tangy sweet, tangy, sticky, spicy sauce. Thai bloom also has a nice selection of hot teas, I really enjoyed the ginger peach tea, fragrant and fruity without being too tart.
(4)Rcola R.
After living with a server who worked at a well known thai restaurant downtown I got spoiled on great thai food. After moving I tried finding a place similar in the area, this isn't it. Salad rolls fell apart and we're mostly vermicelli noodles(no salad in the salad rolls) pumpkin curry was on the bland side, tom kha soup base was too thick and lacked the bright, lemongrass flavor that makes it amazing. Plus everything is, IMO overpriced. The only thing that stood out was their plain white rice, it was cooked perfectly.
(3)Crystal G.
SO GOOD. Like so good. I don't even know what to say. Used Yelp to find a place to eat while in town and was not disappointed. Staff was very friendly and quick, the food was amazing and we ordered a TON of food and spent significantly less than we would at home (Seattle).

First of all, YAY for having an online menu! My experience up here in Oregon is that most restaurants do not put their menus online. Seems silly when it's a Chinese or Thai or other place that you might typically like to order take-out from. Second, the most genuine host (I'm guessing owner?) I've ever met. Even though I had to wait about 10 minutes for my to-go order, it was a pleasure watching him do his thing. Gracious man. The woman who brought out our food from the kitchen had the same beaming smile. I left in a happy space. Third, some of the food was spectacular (some not)...but it left me realizing that once you find your go-to dishes, this place will be 5-star heaven. Basically, it was the appetizers that WOWed us and the entrees that were just so-so: -Curry Puffs (special winter appetizer)--I wanted MORE! Unique and delicious. -Prawn salad rolls with 2 dipping sauces--Very good (though I do wish the prawns were larger/more prominent) -Pork & Ginger Potstickers--Very good -Tofu Pad Thai--my daughter's go-to Thai dish and she didn't like it too much -BBQ with Egg Noodles--It was decent. Had quite a big spice kick in some bites! Parting thought: I'd definitely choose to go back here. The menu is large and given how good the appetizers were, I know there will be a few entrees that impress us just as much. This was a good find.
(4)Elizabeth K.
We love good Thai and what Ive noticed is that each place seems to have certain strengths and weaknesses. So far, after 2 visits everything here has been good. One HUGE key to my satisfaction in any Thai restaurant is their salad rolls....If they are wonderful, it really sets the tone for me. We avoid TOFU due to the fact that if it isn't organic tofu (which Im waiting for restraints to use organic tofu pleeeeeze), its definitely GMO. Lastnight we asked for the salad roles without the tofu and they made them separately for us. This being said, they won't do that if its busy but it was sure nice not having to pick it out. Their curry is fantastic, and the pad thai is wonderful. Nice service and for us, we haven't had long waits both times we've been in. I think this one might be our fave so far.
(4)Anusha M.
I went there when it first opened and I remember the food being fantastic. This time was not as good. The savior was the salad rolls. So fresh and the peanut sauce that comes with it is just yumm. My crab fried rice was disappointing. Not much flavors and crab pieces still had some soft shell. On the other hand, my husband's basil fried rice had too much flavor going on. I think they overdid the sauces. Even the color was much darker than at other restaurants like it was dripping in soy sauce or something. We got the free coconut ice cream. Which was decent. I use a lot of coconut milk in my cooking. So when I tasted it, I kind of felt like it was frozen store bought coconut cream with sugar. But I think I am still going back to give Thai Bloom one last try. EDIT: I am changing it from 3 stars to 1 because I just checked my credit card statement and I had left a 15% tip but they have unethically changed it to 20% instead.
(1)I R.
30 minutes sitting at the table before getting our drinks. 45 minutes to get food. 20 minutes to wait for our check. That's a lot if math. I don't even want to add it up. Bottom line is bad service. Mediocre food. And oh yeah. Sent back the ahi tuna cause it was soggy and cold. Never again.
(2)Sara R.
I was introduced to this place by a couple of friends and loved it. Unfortunately the second time I went it was not very good. Our food took about an hour to get to the table; meanwhile people around us got their food in a timely manner. My friend's rice had a hair on it and struggled to get a server's attention to replace the bowl of rice. He asked where the hair was, saw it and brought a new bowl of rice and never apologized. Our original server came by and appeared to be sarcastic when asking if our food was "hair free." She then went on giving too much information about her personal life when finished our meal. Normally we are very understanding and give the benefit of the doubt since we've all worked food service before, but we were getting such negativity from the staff. Less than an hour after leaving the restaurant I had really bad stomach pains and my other friends had a bad case of the runs. The first time I went here it was amazing. This time it was horrible, and I really hope it was just a fluke.
(2)Andy N.
Delicious, high quality food that is unfortunately also very expensive for Thai. I haven't been to happy hour but the deals for that look good. I don't know how small those portions are though. The service here is good and it's a nice building but I'd only go here for a special occasion where I don't mind spending $14 for pad thai.
(4)Mith R.
Spicy chicken with Basil, hot temp, full of flavor, added touch green beans, never had before. Brown rice was excellent. The condiments were great, and clean......most places the staff forget to clean the condiment spoons.....just grosses me out. Place is really clean, lotsa parking. Wait Staff is freindly inviting and just Great!!! Had car at Nissan, yelped you guys......I agree with orhers, great place for lunch, will be back for dinner!!!!
(5)Binicorn S.
Oh my God how long does it take to stir fry some noodles. Don't go when it is busy. the food is good but it will take 45minutes to get 1plate of noodles and then we were asked to move because a large party. We then asked what are food was going to come and he said it was going to be next in line. At that point we left
(1)Kara D.
I have no idea what has happened here. We loved a last minute Thai Bloom run in-between clients. Everything used to be so fresh, so yummy, and never left me feeling icky. The last two times we have gone we have left very disappointed. Dry pad thai? that shouldn't be a thing. No more pork belly? Drunken noodles that left me feeling just a little bit off. I used to love this place for its very detailed menu about gluten etc and now I don't know what to think. Hopefully they work out some of these issues because it used to be the best thai food in Beaverton.
(2)Mathew K.
I had the Tom Kha Soup with tofu and Drunken Noodles with tofu. I checked in with Yelp and received Coconut Ice cream. They were delicious. Presentation was top notch.
(5)Minh V.
Great place. My son loves the calamari. Happy Hour is the best time to come and eat.
(4)Rhonda L.
Excellent food! The pineapple curry is delicious!! We were treated to a scoop of their handmade coconut ice cream, thanks to checking in with yelp!! I had trouble deciding on which plate to order for lunch, so I will have to come back soon to try the other good eats on their menu!
(4)Meredith B.
Pad thai was great and the pineapple fried rice was delicious. The wait staff was excellent.
(4)Genna C.
This place has everything I've been looking for....Thai food, relatively near home, well-priced, and excellent, friendly service. Bonus: all day Happy Hour on Sunday (score!) with treats like $2.95 micros, appetizers and small plates up to $4.95, fun specialty cocktails under $5.00. And yet, it's a 3-star for me. I had chicken pad thai and spring rolls. Both were...fine. A-ok. But very little flavor, spice, anything else going on. I like my Thai (and anything else, really) on the mild side. Pad Thai isn't known to be particularly spicy, in fact it's often not at all. But that sweet, rich sauce I usually love just had no real flavor at all. And that's too bad, because it was a perfect portion, nicely cooked noodles, delicious chicken - and I just wanted salt, sriracha, soy, something. Same with the spring rolls. They were a bit dry and while they did come with a dipping sauce that added some honey-like sweetness, there was no seasoning, chili, anything else to it. What it comes down to is I just wanted something to grab my attention and nothing did. HH prices are reasonable, as is lunch. Dinner prices are a bit high for the area but not out of the question at all for quality Thai. I'll be back to try some curries, as I've heard a lot of good things about Thai Bloom and it certainly has the Yelp cred to back it up....I just can't get past 3 stars at this point.
(3)Aaron J.
Seriously?!? Why does it take a fucking hour for our food to arrive at our table? I could have sworn that I didn't order delivery. Screw this place. The food is good, but it doesn't make up for the shitty service.
(1)Victor S.
Best Thai food around these neck of the woods. Enjoyed my experience there even when it gets really busy, the staff are friendly, courteous and welcoming. Very well run. My go to dishes are the Tom Ka soup, salad rolls and chicken skewers. Presentation of the dishes are well done and the quality of the ingredients can be tasted. Big fan.
(5)Luke S.
Went here for happy hour, we had dancing shrimp, chicken satay, and the potstickers, all of which were flavorful and delicious at a low price. We also had a couple cocktails which were strong and made to perfection! Low prices great atmosphere amazing service!
(5)Shantanu G.
Small but very good restaurant and staffs are very kind. I loved Orange Ribs, it was yummy :)
(5)S D.
Woo HOO Typhoon rises like a phoenix from the ashes....recreated as Thai Bloom, with all of the great food, talented chefs, lovely service, and none of the managerial drama. Excellent curries and tom gha soup. So so so so happy to find a great restaurant in Beaverton - it's been a challenge since we moved here from NE PDX a couple of years ago. Now I have my new fave Thai place close to home (happy sigh).
(5)Kat J.
Love the staff, love the food, but don't think children should be in the bar area. I love children but screaming in a restaurant not a good event.
(4)Amanda S.
We stopped in at Thai Bloom while we were in town looking for a new home a few weeks ago. The place was busy but were seated within 15 minutes. We were excited to try the food due to the great ratings on yelp. Unfortunately that was not our experience. Once seated the waitress brought us water and came back for our order. We ordered our drinks, appetizer and entree all at once. The drinks came quickly... then we waited and waited and after about 15 minutes our appetizers arrived - they were mediocre at best. The folks that came in after us at this point had received all of their food. Then the wait was on for our entree (noodle dish).... and we waited and waited and oh look our waitress. She filled up our water and said the food was on its way. Then more waiting for another 10 minutes. We asked the bus boy about our meal to which his response was "out of my pay grade" (seriously??). Then a guy stopped by our table (man in charge obviously) and proceeded to tell us about a large party that just arrived and asked us if we would mind moving tables. We were baffled at this point, so we said sure if you can kindly bring us our dinner. He went to check our meal and proceeded to tell us it was next up. That is when we left the establishment. It may be a one off but it was an incredibly disappointing experience and the staff did absolutely nothing to make the situation better... that is the most disappointing part. .
(1)Holly D.
I've tried many great, authentic restaurants and this one is pretty good. It has great rice dishes, but the noodle dishes (drunken noodle and pad thai) we tried were burned and not very good. The fried rice and curry options were all awesome. They also have great desserts. The Coconut sticky rice with mango was amazing!
(4)Kelly M.
LOVE LOVE LOVE! The happy hour is amazing! It happens from 4-6 and everything on the happy hour menu is UNDER $5.99, yes it is an amazing deal, and the food is just as delicious as the non-happy hour food. I love the decorating in this place, it is very modern and it is open and airy. The staff is wonderful, and is willing to meet your every need! When i found out the owners of my old favorite Typhoon had opened this place, i knew I had to go! You will not be disappointed. If you do not go during happy hour the prices are still great, and the portions are quite large! I have never had a bad experience here
(5)EM M.
Consistently the best value, quality, freshness, service of anywhere in the metro area. Easily my favorite spot in Beaverton. Been eating here for years and they only improve with each visit. We dine outdoors with our dog in the summer. Amazing happy hour. The people are great. I rarely write reviews but Thai bloom deserves more 5 stars.
(5)Joseph K.
Great portions and amazing drink prices for happy hour. Haven't checked out the normal lunch or dinner, but if the flavors are the same then i'm sure it's on point! Check-in using your yelp app to get a free hand made coconut ice cream.
(5)Zady G.
Thai Bloom! was wonderful, I can't wait to go back. The food and service was amazing!
(5)Jesy B.
I used to drive by the former Thai place that resided here - Thai Derm - and could never bring myself to try it. The name alone was...weird..but the reviews about bad service said NO. However, my co-worker insisted the new place was absolutely great and I should try it. Okay, I give. This place is good. Just walking in the door, you're probably feeling pretty good because it's laid out and decorated beautifully. It's also very open with large windows for nice lighting. The menu is huge. I'm a stickler for two Thai dishes: Pad Thai & Yellow Curry. My first go round I got the yellow curry. It was delicious - creamy, well spiced and fresh ingredients for sure. However, one of my dining companions got the Tom Yum noodles (which I had never heard of) and I was dish jealous immediately. I also got the Thai Iced Tea and it's made right. My second go round I was ready to order before I walked in the door...but my will was almost insta-weakened by the fall offering of Crab Pad Thai. Resolve won out and I got the Tom Yum Noodles. To describe this dish...well, heck let me describe it! Ground beef, BBQ pork, prawn dumpling & shrimp in a soup base with noodles. Hol-y crap. That is GOOD. The soup flavor is spiced just right & all the meats are great. Thankfully my co-worker got the crab Pad Thai so we traded a few tastes - OMG. That was good too! Service is polite and great. They're clearly working hard to please their clientele and are very enthusiastic as well. I overheard that the chef came from Typhoon! Unlike other reviewer, I won't hold that against them because the food is good, the restaurant is pleasant and I will be back. And back again.
(5)Ratestuff J.
Okay, we've stuck with Thai Bloom and have tried over a dozen different dishes now and I'm in love with place. Please stop by on any Sunday and try any of their happy hour plates. Amazing and inexpensive.
(5)Kara F.
The food was AMAZING!! Service was fabulous too, but the hostess was incredibly rude. Get past her and you will have a great experience.
(5)Nicole L.
awesome! so, so, so yummy. not a single bad choice on the menu! can't wait to go back
(4)Katie S.
Ordered the Pad See Ew today... disappointed. Greasy and tasted as if the food was cooked in a dirty pan, like cooked a different dish in the pan previously, didn't thorough wash prior to cooking my meal. Kind of a reused oil taste. Or maybe a little burnt taste... not pleased. The salad rolls were 5 stars though... but not enough to keep me going back. On the look out for a new Thai place.
(3)Katie K.
My husband and I both eat gluten free and love how easy it is to do so at Thai Bloom. The food is consistently delicious whether it's parang curry, spicy basil chicken or a noodle dish. I have such a hard time deciding if I should go with what I had the one before or try something new since it's all so delicious. It's often very busy around 6pm so be prepared to wait.
(5)Scott C.
Always a great spot for fresh, delicious Thai. No matter what you order, from the curry's to Pad Thai, to desert it's all good. Tonight we took advantage of the Sunday happy hour and as always, fantastic! This place is truly one of the best restaurants in Beaverton.
(5)April D.
The restaurant was well decorated, but too warm and it really did smell like shrimp. The shrimp smell is my biggest complaint. We ordered the appetizer plate, which was really good. We also had the pad Thai and chicken yellow curry. I've definitely had better pad Thai, but the curry was amazing. Portions are a little small for the price. Staff was nice, but it truly bothers me when chop sticks aren't served with the food.
(3)Alan B.
This place has a great happy hour and delicious Thai food! I really enjoy the larb, tom yum soup, eggplant stir fry, and pineapple fried rice ( I love to substitute brown rice in the pineapple fried rice). The cream cheese seafood wontons are DELISH! There are two sides to the restaurant--the lounge (which serves happy hour and has a flat screen and is louder and more casual) and the restaurant dining room (which does not serve happy hour, but is quieter and more formal with red cloth napkins and hot towels).
(5)Nikki P.
Love this place! The food is delish and the happy hour is a good deal! And the NOT HAPPY hour Seating Is Also REALLY nice!
(5)Rachel C.
This is my new favorite Thai restaurant. I've now been here four times and the food and service has been consistently good. Try the Spinach Curry. It's absolutely amazing.
(5)Raja S.
I used to go to Thai Derm, which was at this location.. We went as a group. We ordered different items, these are the items that I tried: Chicken Fried Rice (default spice level, which I expect to be medium spicy) wasn't spicy at all... very ordinary taste. Ginger Chicken (which has 2 spice levels next to it): Ordered it as medium spicy: not spicy, and not tasty as well. Cashew Chicken: I expected this to ordinary, but this was the best item over there. On a different visit, tried the same item with Cashew Tofu & vegetables: Pretty good with tofu pieces nice, soft & tasty (ordered it spicy and was the right spice level). Veggie Spring Rolls appetizer: pretty good (their peanut sauce that came with Combination appetizer was pretty good, like many Thai restaurants) Hoi Joh appetizer: This was decent to good as well. The veggie dish: Buddhas Delight was not good (as per the veggie person in the group). Thai iced tea was good. Decent service. For this restaurant, looks like Spicy spice level is same as Medium spice at other Thai restaurants. Everything that I order here is ordered Spicy. With so many thai restaurants, I would prefer going else where.
(3)Ibrahim J.
I never thought I would find a place better than E-San. The presentation for the food is exquisite.we ordered the drunken noodles and the crab pad Thai ...amazing flavor in both dishes . The salad rolls were good and finally I would like to add the cream cheese crab wonton since I love appetizers this one was my favorite . The service was excellent ...basically they are friendly and on top of there work ...thank you Thai Bloom and I will be coming back again...
(5)Erin H.
Vegan friendly :) The eggplant and drunken noodles are amazing!
(5)John M.
Have been to Thai Bloom twice and both times the food was excellent (duck curry is especially good, wonderful mix of spicy savory flavor with a fruity sweetness that compliments it very well). The table staff is good overall as well; however, both times the reception process has been less well-organized. Host/hostess could not remember who we were less than a minute after taking our names; called for reservations on our second visit and requested a table in the dining room (not the bar). Arrived at the scheduled time and still had to wait twenty minutes - before being escorted to a table in the bar which we declined and waited another ten minutes for a table in the dining room. Overall, good restaurant but frustrating up to the point where you get seated in my experience. Also would be a good idea for them to mark the side entrance (at the bar) as just that - and direct people to the main entrance (which is paradoxically located on the side of the restaurant from the main street.
(3)Brittany L.
I recently moved up to Oregon. My boyfriend and I spent the day in Beaverton and decided to end our day at Thai Bloom! because of all the Yelp reviews. We started our dinner with each a glass of their delicious Thai iced tea and soup as an appetizer, I had a cup of Tofu and Veggie Soup which I found to be a little plain, but the veggies ad tofu were good. My boyfriend had the Tom Kha, he really enjoyed it. For the main dish I had the Pad See Ew, it was really good, the noodles were perfectly cooked, the veggies and the tofu were done well, the sauce combined everything nicely although it could have been a little spicier. My boyfriend had the Crab Pad Thai and he kept going on about it. We ended our evening with my boyfriend getting the Fried Banana and I got the Homemade Coconut Ice Cream. Both desserts were delicious! I cant wait to go back and try their other dishes and desserts!
(5)Lauren K.
I went to this restaurant last night for Valentine's dinner. It was my first time going in and didn't think to make reservations. The place was packed but we were seated within about 30 minutes, and were offered drinks during our wait. Once seated our server was very attentive and quickly took our drink and food orders. The food was good. We ordered Tom kha soup, papaya salad and eggplant stir fry. No complaints on any item. Our water glasses were never empty and we were even given chocolate covered strawberries as a valentines treat. price was good for a 3 course meal, would definitely go back!
(4)Tina K.
Can't go wrong with Thai Bloom! Impeccable flavors in every dish we ordered: Massuman Beef Curry, Swimming Rama, Cashew Chicken, & Tom Yum. Delicious! Sit away from windows - corner window table quite chilly! Lastly, and most important to me, TONS of gluten free options!!!!

I have eaten here two times. I tried their Drunken noodles, Basil Fried Rice and assorted appetizers. So far I have not had anything really exceptional. I might try them again, but their lunch menu is more expensive than other Thai restaurants that are closer to my work and the food has just been average. If you are on the west side of Beaverton try Zab or Thai 5.
(3)Amanda N.
Really great food, always fresh and hot, and the presentation is beautiful. Awesome veggie and gluten free options. One thing I would say is that the atmosphere is fancier than most Thai places around and there is usually a wait for dining in. If you go at peak time don't plan on eating within the hour, but the food is completely worth the wait!
(4)Delisa C.
Amazing happy hour but food is affordable on the regular menu also. The food, atmosphere, employees are all amazing. I love that they have outside seating. On the nice Pacific Northwest days, it is a must.
(5)Kandis F.
Great food, and good service. Very large portions. I had the crab pad Thai and a cup of Tom kah, and my husband had the pineapple fried rice. The tom kah wasn't that great, but the rest was very good.

Came here a few months back and enjoyed the food. Thought the prices were a little high. On my husbands birthday this week I said, Hey honey you want to go out to eat tonight. He says sure. I say where do you want to go? How about that Thai place. I immediately know which Thai place. We went around 5:00 pm. The middle of happy hour. We were seated in the dining area. I asked the waitress if we could see the happy hour menu and order a few things while we were waiting for our daughter to join us in about 1/2 hour. She proceeds to tell me that we can't order off the happy hour menu unless we are sitting on the other side in the bar. Really? So we get up and walk over to the bar area. Kind of ridiculous to me, but ok. The bar was packed and it was a Wednesday. I was surprised but now I know why. The have a big happy hour menu with great prices. The food was even more delicious because the prices were great. We ended up making our meal for four of us out of several happy hour menu items, which we originally hadn't planned on doing. We were just going to get a couple of things while waiting for our daughter. ( One of our other daughters was already with us) We ordered: 2 cups of Tom Kha soup ( some of the best I have had) Drunken noodles Papaya salad Spring rolls Chicken larb salad 2 orders of edamame Chicken wings Cream cheese crab puff thingys Lightly dusted fried calamari 1 beer 1 raspberry lemon drop Also, they gave my hubby ice cream with strawberries and mint for free for his birthday. That was a nice touch. Anyways, total bill just under $50. Pretty good deal to feed 4 for dinner and we took home a little leftovers. The food was really fresh and delicious. We will definitely go back during happy hour which is from 4-6 during the week, but all day 12 - 9 on Sundays.
(4)Kelsey G.
Great food, great service! Happy hour all day Sunday! The coconut ice cream and sticky rice is to die for!
(5)Mou H.
We did takeout today and the food taste is nothing to write home about ... will never go back!
(2)Jessica G.
We had Thai Bloom take out last night for dinner and after eating a lot of subpar Thai lately this was a breath of fresh air. We had salad rolls which where absolutely great and then I had the Pineapple Curry extra spicy which was delicious. I have only once in my life had Thai Food that was spicy enough for me and so I added a ton of chili sauce that the server was nice enough to throw in for free and it was just perfect. My boyfriend says it was insanely hot the way it came so maybe Im crazy. His oder of Pad Thai was absolutely the best hes had in about a year. I know because I think its really fun to always taste whatever hes eating :) Anyways Thai Bloom is our new take out spot for sure!
(4)Victoria T.
My group and I arrived there pretty close to closing time but they graciously stayed open for us. I started out with a pot of the Japanese cherry blossom tea, which was light and refreshing, a perfect spring time tea. Next time I go in I'll have to ask where they get the tea from. For dinner my husband and I split an order of the ginger orange chicken. The serving was large enough for the two of us and came with rice and steamed broccoli. The chicken itself was crispy coated but moist on the inside. The sauce was tangy with just a bit of a kick, definitely puts Panda Express to shame. Overall the food was delicious and the price, around $13 for the chicken and just a few bucks for the pot of tea, was fair for what we got. The waitress that helped us was wonderful, she even double checked that the food we ordered did not contain an ingredient I'm deathly allergic to. I will definitely be returning and I'll recommend it to my friends.
(5)Brett S.
Finally got around to trying Thai Bloom. I used to come here when it was the previous restaurant, Thai Derm, and loved them. Sad to see the dining room change but it is a nice remodel. Food is great! And you should definitely try the handmade coconut ice cream!
(5)Tia N.
I am so excited about this new restaurant. The food was fantastic and the bartender makes great drinks. From what I undertand they have the same chef as the former Typhoon that was in the round. You should definitely check it out.
(4)Lazlo H.
Great take-out option. The restaurant itself is large and they have a nice bar. They offer to make tofu dishes with fried or fresh tofu. Favorites: panang curry with fresh tofu, pork potstickers, green papaya salad, and tom yum noodles.
(3)Jan S.
We have lived in Beaverton for two years now and have finally landed a Thai place to order from! Excellent and fresh food & the service was extraordinary. The restaurant ambiance was relaxing with plates and cloth napkins already on the table. I can't say enough good about this place. With reasonable prices to boot.
(5)John P.
Service is slow. Food is fairly good. Their coconut ice cream is GREAT! Definitely a must try!
(4)Michelle L.
I love trying new restaurants especially Thai food and I am so glad I decided to try Thai Bloom! I absolutely love curry and this is my new favorite place to go for it! I had chicken Panang curry, so yummy!
(5)Daniel S.
WOW, wish I could say enough said but I have to add the extra emphasis on the food here. The menu is delicious, the environment is amazing. I could bring a date here, or hang in the bar and have few drinks while watching football. I had the drunken noodles, I'd recommend them. They got it perfect. If I had to improve one thing it would be more Thai decorations.
(5)Jon E.
We ate there last night for the first time, and will definitely be back. Four of us went and we ordered Pad See Ewe with tofu, BBQ Pork with Egg Noodles, Pad Ped Beef with Green Peppercorn & Swimming Rama. All the dishes were great, vegetable were fresh and crispy (vs. obviously frozen, like many other places). My favorites were the BBQ pork and Pad Ped beef, although the other three in our group found the beef a bit too spicy. The waiter was courteous and professional, even though they seemed to be short staffed. The kitchen also seemed to be backed up as it took 20-30 minutes for main dishes to be served. Restrooms are clean! (My theory is, dirty restrooms equal scary kitchens). Overall rating would have been five stars, if not for longer than normal wait.
(4)Jeff P.
Heck of a happy hour that lasts all day Sunday. Can't beat the prices and food is great as is service. We regularly go on Sunday's for happy hour!
(4)Chelsea S.
I have been to Thai Bloom a few times now and have not been disappointed! I have tried a few of the traditional dishes as well as a few new things and it is all very good! Service has been fast and helpful! I will continue to bring my friends and family. Also a great place to order "to go" as they are always quick to have my meal ready.
(4)Jennifer K.
Yesterday had a late lunch at Thai Bloom... The new owners did a nice reno, restaurant is clean and tidy. We were promptly greeted and seated, throughout the meal had several servers check on us, they were all attentive, friendly and warm! The food was tasty and flavorful, veggies very fresh and entrees priced well for large portions. There really isn't anything more I could have asked! I will be back soon! Thanks for the terrific meal!
(5)Erin S.
Went to Thai Bloom today with friends for lunch and it was delish!! This is the reincarnation of Typhoon which I loved! They have re-done the interior and it is MUCH nicer. Service was great (big step up from when it was Thai derm) and the food was great -- big portions. Looking forward to going to their happy hour.
(5)Pooja B.
amazing thai food!! a little pricey though! service can be a bit slow on busy evenings,had to wait a bit for water refills,but friendly staff.
(4)Trudy E.
We went to Thai Bloom because we were looking to find a place like Typhoon's that "is no longer in business". Thai Bloom had excellent food and pretty good service....kind of faraway from Vancouver, WA for just a regular dinner - but we will try and get back there for some other special occasion. We miss Typhoon's warmth and closeby location! They did not serve rice with any entree...it must be ordered separately...so if you order a fish dish - this is all you will get...so be sure to order rice or some other side dish.
(5)Steven G.
The papaya salad is the main reason to come. It's a great way to start the meal. The drinks are okay and I've had some pretty decent dishes. The roasted duck is pretty much Peking duck, the crab fried rice is pretty good.
(4)Diana H.
Went here for HH on Sunday. They have HH all day Sunday :) We had the drunking noodles, spicy wings, chicken larb, papaya salad and tom yum soup. The portions was huge for HH. The prices was great. Unfortunately the service was slow but we got our food hot so thats a plus for me. Please don't change your HH menu ever!
(4)sabreena a.
same chefs as typhoon in NW and Beaverton- they took the good stuff form that menu and added some new ones here. Overall, great service, great food, definitely going back!
(5)Cameron A.
Horrible service in the bar, and food was just above average. Thai Bloom did have a great clean atmosphere, though the music was a bit off considering the setting. I won't be in a rush to come back.
(2)Matthew G.
ah, finally, the perfect drunken noodles. we are so lucky to have Thai Bloom in our neighborhood and are thrilled at their food quality and super kind staff. perfect. we'll be in once a week for sure. did i mention the perfect drunken noodles?! thank you for existing!! :)
(5)Erin M.
been eating here since they opened (sometimes twice in a day!). food is always delicious & ton of gluten free options. staff always super friendly too!
(5)Alex R.
Excellent! Great options, very well prepared.
(5)Jessi W.
fantastic thai food and super friendly staff. to be honest, i was not expecting to be so impressed with a thai joint in beaverton, but i stand corrected. (and i'll be back!)
(5)dan n.
OK deco... You won't find a cockroach in your plate. Service is relatively friendly. But food (food is after all what we were for) is basically mediocre to awful. If you just can't do anything else and happen to have passed the door already: Avoid the papaya salad at all cost and remember that crispy means fried (duck, rolls, and everything else (almost).
(2)Peter F.
Yes, the food is good. But, as a restaurant, this place fails miserably. Every time I walk in the door, the guy at the front (there's only ever one person there) is always on the phone taking a to go order. I feel like my business is unimportant from the first moment, and it never gets any better. They just seem indifferent to their customers. No greeting, no smiles, no chit chat, just here's your table (eventually). Now I know why everybody just gets food to go. Tonight, we were treated to a young hipster-goth lesbian couple with more metal in their faces than in the tableware, who were watching Youtube videos on their phone! At their table! With the volume turned up loud, and laughing loudly! When we complained, nothing was done. We gave up, and got our food to go. If you want decent Thai food (not excellent, just good) to go at a decent price, call in your order. If you want a DINING experience, forget it, you won't find it here.
(2)Patricia R.
The best Thai food I have ever had! The chef from typhoons is now creating delights at Thai bloom. Food was fresh, colorful, fragrant and absolutely delicious. Flavored perfectly balanced an complex. Loved the salad rolls and pumpkin curry. The eggplant was great. Try this place. You won't be disappointed.
(5)Sara W.
Great place for a nice dinner of some delicious Thai food. This place can definitely get crowded quickly. Came here on a Friday at around 5:45 and by the time we left there was a long wait by the door. But they also offer carry out and delivery. This time around had the salad rolls as an appetizer. Really good! And then for dinner I had their green curry with chicken. Their portions are definitely generous! Plenty of food for two meals. My mom had some eggplant dish with ground chicken that was good as well. Highly recommend if you enjoy Thai food.
(4)Wendy G.
I want to say that I think they were having an off night, but it was bad. We never even got food after being there for an hour. We came in on a Sunday evening and stood there for 5 minutes before we were even acknowledged. We should have taken the hint and left then. We were finally seated and it was 10 minutes before the waitress came by to take our drink order - we ordered our food at the same time. After 30 minutes we politely asked our waitress about when we could expect to be served and she explained they had been rushed in the bar with their happy hour so they were behind... ok. The tables around us had obviously been there for much longer and still didn't have their food - all were grumbling and looking unhappy. Finally, 45 minutes after ordering, an hour after we arrived, we just left. We were starving and could not wait any longer, so we settled for sandwiches from Subway. Big disappointment.
(1)Carroll Ann P.
Visiting family and came here for dinner. I had not had Thai in ages and was excited to try the raved about food and chefs. I had Larb salad with prawns and was not disappointed. The dressing kinda sneaked up on me in a good way! Our party shared Chicken Satay which was SO MOIST and tender and salad rolls, very good and refreshing. Crying Tiger steak appetizer was perfectly cooked and the dipping sauce was great! We also shared the Tom Yum with tofu. Wonderfully spiced and delicious. My family told me the history of the site and chefs. Give this one a try, the Ha[ppy Hour menu is very good looking by the way.
(4)Hezekiah B.
Drunk noodles were superb. The atmosphere very chill and stylish. The staff is friendly and did a phenomenal job making my first time experience a great one. I will be a repeat customer. Once again the food was delicious!
(5)Jocelyn B.
I finally stopped in to Thai Bloom! tonight and boy, am I glad I did. I've been searching for a good Thai restaurant that understands gluten-free dining since Typhoon! closed and they do. I got salad rolls and pineapple curry (to-go) and both were delicious. The pineapple curry was perfectly spicy and full of tender chicken, pineapple and rambutan (the hostess told me it was similar to a lychee and she was right). Also, the decor and cleanliness of the restaurant has greatly improved since it was Thai Derm. This is my new go-to Thai restaurant.
(5)Tara G.
My girlfriend and I tried the Thai Bloom after being referred there by about ten people at my work across the street. The food is absolutely amazing!! We split the Drunken Noodles and Pot Stickers. The food comes out on fancy plates and the presentation of it all was amazing!! The service was great and prompt! I think it was even the owner who came out and asked how everything was which we really appreciated! I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking out delicious Thai food. I am going back tonight with my other friends more!!!!
(5)Heather M.
After being mostly disappointed by Portland's Thai offerings so far, my best friend did a quick yelp search while we were out in Beaverton and we decided to check this place out on a whim. We arrived at the start of happy hour, and elected to sit in the bar to get the special menu. Our waiter was really nice, and the atmosphere was relaxed in the bar. All of the food we tried far exceeded our expectations. My barometer for Thai restaurants is always the pad thai -- this one brought me back to the first time I tried the dish - just the right amount of bean sprouts (both cooked in and fresh on top), there were no fillers (shaved carrots), and the sauce wasn't overly sweet. It was just damn good pad thai. We also tried the spring rolls, which were light and flaky, perfect with the dipping sauce. The shining star in my opinion was the tom kha soup. The milky citrusy base was filled with mushrooms, cauliflower, broccoli and other veggies. It was the first time I've seen it done that way and it WORKED. This place is our new go-to Thai place. (Did I mention the happy hour specials were CHEAP?)
(5)Dee J.
Serviced by Nick: Fantastic! He's attentive, friendly, and just wonderful. Food: 5+ stars. Secret menu - papaya salad - Lao style. Very spicy but very good. Not on the secret menu but just as good: the Tom Yum Soup, Seafood Delight and Crab Pad Thai are just great! Dessert: fried banana ala mode...very delish! Overall: great food, great service, decent pricing. Will definitely be back!
(5)Lisa S.
Sorry, Thai Bloom, but Siam Lotus has you beat, on every level, and it's only a stone's throw away, so.....we won't be back to Thai Bloom. Seriously .... no clue why this place has 500 reviews. For training purposes at Thai Bloom, here's the scoop: your "Salad Rolls" have no salad in them. One shrimp, one tiny lettuce leaf and 95% rice noodles does not constitute a salad roll. Next: the pineapple fried rice should have more than 3 shrimp. The fried rice, in general, is not great. Check out the restaurant Pho Tango off of Cornelius Pass for the right way to do fried rice (with the right proportions of ingredients). Next: chicken is flat, old and tough. Not good. Again, Siam Lotus has amazingly juicy chicken in all the dishes. I could keep going .... but the bottom line is, this place is too expensive for the lack of fresh ingredients.
(1)Yvette H.
Very good experience! Drunken noodles were good. The drinks were expertly crafted. Will go back.
(4)Amy L.
Great happy hour food!! Great prices for a large variety of their popular dishes. I went here with a few of my friends and we got a little bit of everything. Papaya salad: Flavorful and tasty portion is generous. Nice and spicy just the way l like it. Tom Yum soup: got a cup full of tofu and veggies. They are quite generous most places would give you more watered down version. Pad Kee Mao(Drunken Noodles): Generous portion, delicious and tasty. Filling meal for one or great to share. Drinks were tasty and well made they definitely don't skimp on the liquor. Overall a great place to hang out and grab happy hour food. I would definitely come back again to try more dishes.
(4)Sussi P.
my favorite restaurant, great food, good service. cashew chicken, salad roles, green curry all good going to have to investigate the secret menu
(5)John K.
I don't really know what to say, except there's a first time for everything. It's Sunday evening when my wife, my friend and I decide to stop here for dinner. The wait was long, but that wasn't the problem. Eventually we were seated. The waitress cautioned us that it might take a while for our food, so she suggested we order our drinks and appetizers first. Fair enough. When our drinks came, she took our entrée order. Fifteen minutes later, we got the appetizers. Forty five minutes later, the waitress returned to ask if we wanted dessert. Surprised, we politely said that we hadn't received our entrée yet. She apologized then disappeared again. After fifteen minutes spent doubting our own sanity, we asked if the entrées were coming. She started to apologize, but my friend just asked for the check. Ten minutes later, she brought that. We left. Don't really know what to say. I should have talked to the manager, but we were all in shock at what had transpired. It's unfortunate, because the food is good. The service is hall of shame level, though, and there is simply too much good Thai food in this town to return. Oh well.
(1)Megan Y.
Come for the happy hour! They have a great selection of food and drinks for a happy hour menu and the prices are very reasonable for what you get. I liked the chicken pad thai, but thought it could've had a little more flavor. The drunken noodles were also pretty good, but I've definitely had better. I also tried the calamari, which I thought was really good. I like my calamari crispy rather than chewy and that's how it is here. Their seating area for happy hour is on the side of the restaurant with the bar. There's probably ~15 or more tables that are meant for 2 people, but they can easily arrange the tables to accommodate larger parties. My group had about 10 people and the staff was really helpful in making sure we could all seat together. You can also choose to sit at the bar if you want to. If you're a yelper, make sure to check in for your free coconut ice cream! I personally hate coconut flavored things so I thought the ice cream was horrible. However, most of the people in my group thought it was super delicious. Can't go wrong with a free yelp deal!
(4)Ty N.
Decent food, the service is amazing and the happy hour menu is good. We ordered fried calamari, chicken larb salad, papaya salad, pad tai with chicken, chicken satay, few drinks. All choices that we had were decent, the staff are very friendly, helpful and attentive. Bill came up to a decent price. It is a decent Thai restaurant for Beaverton area. Still nothing to top it off with any restaurant in San Francisco but I will return. One of the staff came up and helped me with my car because it needed a jump. So I thank him for that, what a nice man!
(4)J K.
Go for their regular, Late night, or Sunday Happy Hour. The apps and entrees run from $2.99 to $6.99 per dish. They have a regular dining room and the bar/lounge area. Ask to sit in the lounge. Happy Hour food is only served there. It's a good thing because I found the lounge area to be more open and cheerful. My teenage daughter was able to dine there. She loved the Thai Fried Rice and I thought the Drunken noodles were really good. I've had Panang Curry and Pinapple Fried Rice delivered. They were both good too, but it can get pricy with the added delivery costs in addition to their higher normal entree prices. Still...looking forward to coming back for Happy hour instead for a discount. Oh yeah, check in on Yelp app for a free coconut ice cream dessert. It was good.
(4)Peter R.
This is a pretty bittersweet review. My family and friends just left the restaurant after what we'd hoped would be a really nice dinner. And I'm happy to report that, in terms of the contents of the food, the quality of drinks, and the tastiness of the appetizers, everything was great. They were even able to take same-day reservations for a party of six. But the service was horrible. And again, it's not like they were cruel, or rude, it was just too damn busy. They had too many customers, and clearly not enough staff. Not enough waiters on the floor, and definitely not enough bartenders or cooks. As an example, it took an hour to get a glass of wine. After three requests. Our appetizers came out swiftly at the beginning of the meal. They were excellent. Again, I can't emphasize enough: the food was fantastic. But then it was over an hour until dinner showed up. Thank Christ we had good company & conversation, otherwise I think we would've burned the place down to the waterline. I would go back again, but only for takeout. My wine showed up as we were paying the bill. We sent it back.
(3)Laurence B.
We wanted a change for take out last night, and were very pleasantly surprised by Thai Bloom! Some different options: summer roll, hoi joh (seafood balls), pad ped beef, and crab fried rice... And the requisite eggplant stir fry. And the best part, they deliver! This may now be out go to Thai take out place!
(5)Jayson C.
The best food in this genre. Great staff and fun atmosphere. Family in back, funky upfront.
(5)Margaret R.
+ nice service + delicious coconut ice cream that I got for free by checking in on Yelp. Though I think $4.99 for a scoop of ice cream is overpriced. The ice cream tasted like a mix between shaved ice and sorbet. + yummy eggplant and tofu, though not spec
(4)Brittany F.
Probably the best Thai food I've had in Portland. We ordered the Tom Kha soup--DELicious! Potstickers--also delicious! The Panang curry--yummy! and the Saw de ew noodles--going to try the Pad Thai noodles next time instead. The best part is the free coconut ice cream that they hand make with your yelp check-in. I usually don't like coconut ice cream but I devoured this one! So good! The service was just ok, kind of a let down compared to the awesome food.
(5)Daniel N.
Never had a peoblem with the services here. Very nice and attentive. I have tried mostly everything on the menu so hopefully my review sounds creditable for everyone. This place has very good Thai ice tea and coffee - not too sweet and flavorful. I tried to stop eating Signature Boat noodle but I couldn't - shame. It's just too good to give up with. The broth isn't too hot (your tongue might love it) and the noodle is right- neither too soft nor too hard to chew. Make sure you try it with beef- which is very soft and goes good with the broth. And Yelper shouldn't forget to check in here to get a free coconut ice cream . yummm
(5)Maggie W.
You, my friend, may stop your pursuit of happiness because it resides here, during Thai Bloom's happy hour. With multiple happy hours every day AND a whole day-long happy hour on Sunday, you and your stomach both will be happy with the extensive HH menu. Drunken noodles (pad kee mao), pad thai, fried calamari all make the list here for $7 and under. I always appreciate it when a restaurant doesn't skimp out on the portion size just because the meals are cheaper, and Thai Bloom does not disappoint. I recommend the Thai fried rice, the calamari, and the potstickers. And although I didn't try it, the chicken wings looked and smelled delicious. You'll be so full that you won't even have enough stomach space to get the free coconut ice cream by checking in with Yelp! I'll definitely be back for more, Thai Bloom!
(4)Happy O.
As a newcomer to the area I did seek advice on good Thai restaurants and I was very pleasantly surprised with Thai Bloom. Tucked away in a little strip mall this tasty morsel with ample parking (perhaps because the little brew pub next was closed for repairs) and quaint outside seating. We opted to sit inside as it was an usually warm day for Portland standards. My husband ordered the Panang Curry with chicken and I ordered the traditional Pad Thai with prawns. Our server was very knowledgeable about the menu and asked us all the right questions and what was brought to us was the perfect blend spice, heat and yummy goodness! The restaurant was busy, the atmosphere heady with a blend of spice, and fragrant notes that left us with a feeling of satisfaction with both the food and the restaurant in general. We'll be back!
(4)Khoa N.
We come here on occasion when we want some happy hour Thai food. The great thing about this place is its happy hour, their selection is big so you have a lot of options and the price is reasonable. I got beef pad thai and fried calamari. The calamari seemed like it was frozen but thats probably why its cheap and fried and the pad thai didnt have as much beef as i was wanting. Overall the service was good and the waitress was helpful by checking up on us throughout the meal. When you check in you also get a small coconut ice cream dessert a good way to finish off the meal. They have a horrible item for happy hour called orange ribs. For the love of god take that off the menu and never bring it back. I had this the first time i ate here and i thought my ribs were actually turning orange! I dont know what the color orange entails but it is not good. Do not order it TL:DR THE thai happy hour spot, dont get orange ribs. Trust me
(4)Ranjita L.
Great food, great presentation. But too pricey. I was full in a small portion shared with my husband
(5)V C.
Good food. Wait staff is often slow and forgets things but the food makes it worth it. Honestly if they would comp a drink here and there for the bigger mess ups all would be well. I really like the pad Thai (don't order it to go though it gets soggy) and the yellow curry. Good knowledge on gluten free options.
(4)Miss C.
I love the salmon curry and Thai dishes they have to offer! Great service and nice vibe
(5)Sesha M.
tom kha is the best in PDX!
(4)Mark B.
Update: I have become a regular for their happy hour. The happy hour prices are great. The whole place is bright, clean and friendly. Happy hour Menu; Pad Thai with chicken: this is my favorite happy hour item. The portion on this makes a good meal for me. I keep forgetting to tell them to hold the sprouts though. Pot stickers and chicken satay, both are yummy and make great starters or snacks. Dessert: Mango sticky rice! I love this dish and Thai Bloom makes a great version. Fried bananas; OK probably had a million calories but tastes great. While there are dishes not to my taste I have friends who love them. Tip they just opened a branch on NW 23rd in Portland. Pro tip, check in with Yelp mobile for a free scoop of coconut ice cream.
(5)Marna G.
I love this little place- it's in a nice location, it's directly across the street from the nice Goodwill has a great selection of vinyls :) - The food is pretty darn good and the waitstaff are very kind. Anyone who knows me can tell you that I am a potsticker and fresh salad roll junkie. I love peanut sauce- Great peanut sauce and I unapologetically judge a Thai restaurant by their peanut sauce. Thai Bloom has great peanut sauce - I just wished they served it in larger serving dishes. There is just the right amount of heat and sweet and delicious peanut a goodness and every spoonful. All the usual suspects that are offered on most Thai menus are on this one - however, you have to give their orange ribs a try as well as their crab pad Thai and their pumpkin curry. In a word yum. In fact, all of their Curry is great and the only thing I will tell you is that even their most mild and benign Curry has a bit of a kick to it. There is ample parking - they have their own lot, they do take credit cards, and prices are reasonable. The only weird thing about this place are the bathrooms. I'm not sure what's really going on but when you walk into the bathrooms it's stifling, hot like you've walked into a jungle. It's sort of creepy. So if you're out perusing vinyls and work up an appetite - walk across the street and get your Thai fix on - you won't be disappointed.
(4)Emily N.
Really felt mis-leaded by all the reviews this restaurant had. They have good happy hour price, but all the food we got (drunken noodle, fried rice, and pad Thai didn't taste authentic at all. Tasted super Americanize. It's all still edible but didn't taste like Thai food :(
(3)Jessica V.
Came here and loved it! The price is reasonable for the amount of food you receive. We arrived and were seated in the bar area due to dinner hour. They are very busy but attentive to your every need. Our servers were great. Very friendly ...providing our need before we even asked. Highly recommend this restaurant and love the check in bonus. The ice cream was AMAZING!
(5)Jack L.
Almost walked out. I'm very into Thai food, and this place was nothing but decent. At $14 for a plate of mediocre Pad Thai, a 40 minute wait time, a VERY loud lobby, and a water glass with lipstick from the previous patron - just avoid it!
(1)Lauren R.
Terrible service, bland food. I came to order take-out in the restaurant around 8:00pm thinking it wouldn't be busy. To my surprise it was busy and I was impressed thinking the food must be great. Stood in front of the host at the counter while he was typing in the computer for about 5 minutes when he finally offered to take my order. Put in a simple order for Pineapple Fried rice and asked to hold the raisins. After taking my personal information, (first and last name and phone) which seemed excessive considering I was standing there, paying and waiting to walk out with my food I was told it would it be 15-20 minutes. I was surprised it would take up to 20 minutes but sat down and waited. While sitting I observed three parties walk up to him and ask to pay stating they had been forgotten. Meanwhile, bags for delivery and pick-up were being brought to the front. I noticed a small bag placed after just a few minutes but based on being told it would take 15-20 minutes didn't think it was mine. My husband came in after about 15 minutes and noticed a bag with my name on it. It was the small bag that had now been sitting there for over 10 minutes getting cold while I was just waiting and would have been waiting for who knows how long. The worst part was getting home to my meal, WITH raisins and super bland rice. Never again.

Yep, we have a new favorite here. Thai Bloom has a wonderful happy hour schedule: 4 to 6 PM Daily 8 PM to Close Mon -Thu 9 PM to Close Fri - Sat All Day Sunday What great times for happy hour! The staff are really friendly and helpful. Always smiling. They also put up with Ben's off-the-menu requests for soda-water and juice. The food is generally delicious and unique. Also, it's well explained on the menu so you know what to expect when it comes out. The Wide Noodles (pretty spicy) are a favorite. Been there three times...ordered them three times. The Phad Thai was bland...but...whatever, there are other awesome menu items to choose from. I like the Green Papaya Salad a lot. The Tom Kha soup is amazing and I've ordered that twice as well. So many good things to try on the Happy Hour menu. As far as cocktails go, they're generally strong. The first one I tried here was the Lychee one. It's literally vodka and smashed lychee. I couldn't even finish it. Taking it as a couple shots would be a better idea than sipping it. Next trip I tried the One Night In Bangkok one. Better, still strong...good though. I eventually tried another cocktail...can't remember the name but it was red and delicious. Best one so far. The portion to price ratio is fantastic and overall a great deal. The food comes out quickly. Don't forget your free Check In coconut ice cream!

Service seems great. Prices seem fair. It's alway busy and the food looks and smells amazing. I will definitely be come back here.
(5)Safiah P.
This place never fails. The food is so yummy, all the time. I always order my food to go because this place is always busy, and I know why. The food is so delicious. The atmosphere and place is so chill. And this is the only place who does Laos style papaya salad. Happy camper.
(5)Gary N.
Nice roomy new dining room. Great Panang curry & spicy basil chicken.
(4)Shravan D.
loved the crab pad thai, but when i tasted my dad's dish which was a mix of seafood, it was bland, it tasted like water with ketchup.
(3)Rodd S.
Really this is exceptional. Used to have lunch here when i worked nearby several years ago. After a long hiatus from trying to drive in Beaverton, I returned for dinner and it was totally worth the hassle. Very interesting and diverse menu makes it tough to choose! The portions were generous and the flavours were amazing. Go family style!

This place is always busy! Be prepared to wait at least 30min - 1 hr during busy dinner time. Make sure to call ahead. It's not a place to come if you have very little patience, expected to be served immediately, and/or eating within 15min of ordering. I know, how 'un-Asian' of them. But you will soon realize how rewarding your experience could be as soon as you take that first whiff of someone's dish leaving the kitchen. That aromatic trail leaves you blinded and thirty min wait time doesn't sound so bad... But, snack a little so your diva doesn't come uninvited. My staple dishes: Hot wings, Papaya Salad, and Drunken noodles. Wings: come in four pieces all together, dry battered placed on top of sweet/spicy/garlicky sauce, and served with pickled radish and carrot sticks. I love how simple it is but executed perfectly. Wings are warm and crunchy with perfect amount of sauce you can 'dip'. It makes my mouth water just thinking about this. Let me just preface by saying these are no where close to Pok Pok's famous wings. If you gotta have PP's, you just gotta go there. But this is a good alternative on the West side and different enough that I think it deserves its own shout out. Papaya Salad: I usually order this at every thai restaurant. I think it's really personal dish as some may prefer salty, spicy, or sweet, or sour than other. For me, sweetness is overpowering and lacks sour/Limey note in the flavor profile. A little downer... But to finish on a high note, Drunken Noodle (Pad Kee Mao): Better than most places I've tried. Some might consider this dish little dry as you don't see extra sauce 'dripping'. However, I appreciate the sauce/noodle/veggies ratio. Flavor of the sauce is balanced. Noodles are perfectly cooked EVERY time. You don't see broken pieces (which a lot of places over cook) and no dry spots! Happy Hour: If dinner is too much of a commitment for you try their HH. They have pretty large selection to choose from. My favorite HH is on Sundays because it's ALL day! However, be aware that it's only available in their bar area. There is a wait list (during busy hours/Sundays) and they will ask you to check with the host before you get too comfortable, if you decide to seat yourself. Now, go find your own favorites and let your taste bud do the talking. :) Have fun!

Thai Bloom- Great Thai food- the owners are great people! And you can tell in the cooking.... Thank you Sam and your lovely wife for opening back in my neighbor hood!!! Oh they have a great Happy Hour

One of our goto places for Thai food around Beaverton. Ever since we stumbled upon this place through yelp we have been coming here pretty often. Nearly everything that we have had here has been good. My favorite here has been the drunken noodle, ask for spicy if you want to enjoy it more. There are multiple tasty dishes to try here. In no particular order here are some of the dishes that I would definitely try again: flaming fish, pad Thai, cashew chicken and the basil fried rice. If you want flavor and protein then the flaming fish is a good idea, and I was not feeling stuffed after that. Basil fried rice is something that that we recently tried and enjoyed a lot. Pad Thai and cashew chicken are standard and safe options that always deliver. They have a nice happy hour where you can try multiple things in smaller portions and enjoy. I would suggest checking it out and trying it. The icing on the cake is, if you checkin on yelp then, you get a free coconut ice cream with chocolate and peanut on it. Definitely try it. Always fun to finish with this.

I've been wanting to try Thai Bloom since it popped up on Cedar Hills a while ago...We hadn't planned on eating here last Saturday, but after Rama Thai had a 30 minute wait, we decided to head down the road and try it out. When we walked in I was immediately hit with the overwhelming smell of shrimp, and about an 80 degree room temperature. There was a lobby full of people but we signed in, and only waited about 15 minutes for a table, not too bad. We were seated in the bar, and it took about 15 more minutes for our waitress to acknowledge us. Once she took our drink/appetizer orders (Thai iced tea and veggie spring rolls), she didn't return until they were ready (15 more minutes), and that's when she finally took our food order. My guy ordered the chicken pad Thai, and I had the tom kha soup. Our food took about 45 minutes to get to our table from this point. The breakdown: Veggie Spring Rolls, they were delicious. The inside was filled with cabbage, noodles, carrots, and some corn. The dipping sauce was a very viscous well-balanced sweet and sour sauce that complemented the rolls perfectly. The Thai iced tea was way too sweet for my liking, almost unpalatable. The Chicken Pad Thai was extremely dry, there wasn't enough sauce, and it lacked depth in flavor. It was sub par for sure. The tom kha soup was decent. It is a far thicker consistency than I'm used to for this soup, not a bad thing just very noticeable. I chose to have chicken in my soup, and it was fine I guess, it basically tasted like boiled chicken (how much raving can you do for that). I did notice that there weren't the normal large chunks of galangal root to avoid, which was nice, and just a few lemongrass layers needed to be removed. The flavor was spot on, but they had crumbled a chili into the soup and it was really hot. I've never had this type of soup be spicy, the chili is normally intact so that you can choose your level of spicy. Not this night. The spicy soup combined with the extremely high temperature and loudness of the restaurant, and the overwhelming smell of shrimp started becoming unbearable during the meal. Halfway though our meal we both started feeling sick from it all, and just wanted to leave. It took us 20 minutes just to get our waitress's attention so that we could have our check. All in all, the food was just okay to dine is such a loud, smelly, hot atmosphere with kind of terrible service.
(2)Nikki C.
Happy hour food is delicious, but the service is horrible. Make sure you have lots of patience!
(4)Em B.
We've been here a few times and while some experiences were better than others, they have all been worth the money. I especially appreciate that everything is cooked fresh when ordered and the cooks can cater to food allergies. Some restaurants make you seem like you're putting them out or being 'that pesky patron' if you ask for a dish to be made without fish sauce. Not Thai Bloom! They aim to please and they have never ever made me feel embarrassed to ask! I also appreciate that this is a family friendly restaurant. They even left children into the bar area during Happy Hour! (This is great if you have picky kids and need to order lots of small plates, btw ). I highly recommend the curries and the Pad Thai, but I've never had a meal here that I didn't enjoy!
(4)Heba S.
Oh my ! I'm from California visiting and this place is hands down delicious ! Service was great,food was delicious, and the atmosphere was just right. Sad we don't have a place like this in Cali ! Yum mm I'll be back when I visit again. 5 stars
(5)Stacy C.
Best salad rolls Best drunken noodles Best Pad Thai Great Thai sticky wings MoooWEEEE yummy mango sticky rice. * if I could order just one thing * Happy Hour offerings are great and very fair prices. Everything comes out hot hot hot. Outside seating on nice days. Big bar area- which is where I like to be. Excellent, personable service. (I need to start getting the employee names at restaurants to post w/review as its fabulous to get an atta in this ever negative, impossible to please world)
(5)Jordan B.
Excellent Thai curry. Very flavorful food. Be sure to show your waitress your yelp app for a free ice cream
(5)Jeff J.
I have come here with a friend for happy hour, It is great, I love the Pad Thai
(4)M P.
Nice place for a decent Thai meal. I had the massaman, which was extremely tasty with a lot of meat. They use a high quality brisket that also melts in your mouth. My wife had another tasty dish that was very flavorful. While the name of that dish is forgettable, the dish itself is far from it. Just ask for the yummy yellow stuff in a bowl with noodles....... We will be back!
(5)Karen B.
Love this place!!!! Food is always delicious and the staff is wonderful! One of my favorite restaurants. Try the panang curry, drunken noodles and basil chicken. You will not be disappointed!
(5)Hailey B.
The best Thai food we've had in so long. The curry is divine. It's rich and the depth of flavor is mouth watering. Their noodle dishes are also very tasty and fresh. We've been here so many times recently. It's so good, we crave it!
(4)Marilyn S.
Great food, but I dock them a star for bad service. They're not that big of a restaurant and they have lots of staff, so I'm not sure why every time we go our water glasses remain empty for most of the meal. They have very tasty dishes that are unique. I can't stray from the glass noodle dishes - the sukiyaki soup and the summer sukiyaki stir fry. Soooo delicious!
(4)Falon M.
Wa really pleased with the food and service here! The salad rolls were some of the best I've had, and I've had a few in my time. I had the Panang Curry and my dining partner had the Flaming Halibut, both were sooo delicious. Convenient location, lovely atmosphere and attentive service.. couldn't ask for more! The serving sizes do seem small when you first get it but with an appetizer it ended being the perfect size. Will be back for sure!
(5)Richard C.
Very tasty, certainly holds its own against the way too many Thai places around. Food is well presented. Low rating is because the menu prices are too high, not a good value compared to the others.
(2)Morning M.
This place just keeps getting better. My wife and I love their happy hour menu. We can darn near stuff ourselves for 20 bucks. It's on all day Sunday. Priced right, delicious food, good variety of items, and good portion sizes. Try the spicy chicken with basil. Excellent!
(5)Matthew W.
For those of you who used to frequent Typhoon, Thai Bloom is, IMHO, its reincarnation. The menu is similar and the flavors nearly identical - at least for the dishes I enjoy. The ample dining area is to the left of the entrance, but there is a bar area good for quick lunches or happy hour. I would give Thai Bloom five stars, except the service can be error prone and occasionally sluggish. The restaurant is often busy, but they do cater if you want them to come to you. They are a frequent lunch meeting choice at my office. Parking is a bit of a Wild Wild West feel since the lines have faded to nothing. People are lousy at parking even with lines, so you can imagine what happens without them! The addition of a brew pub next door doesn't help either. The food is well worth the minor hassles though.
(4)Randall D.
Great choice and the bar area is isolated from the restaurant so you can choose between noisy or quiet. Good food and friendly service.
(4)Jessie B.
This is one of our favorite restaurants in town. I have never had anything I disliked. I do have favorites and less favorites. The happy hour is great for small plates. They mark common dietary accommodations on their menu (gluten free and vegan). Tonight we had pineapple fried rice and salad rolls.
(5)Gerri M.
Lovely restaurant with wonderful Thai food!
(5)Louise G.
Ordered crying tiger and Bloom salad and it wasn't that big portion for the price. You probably need to order 3 items for two people there. The sauces were very tasty but spicy, so just make sure if your a spice light weight you order the dressing on the side. Service is okay, nothing great, but not that bad.
(3)Mackenzie S.
I called and was on hold for about 7 minutes before someone spoke to me, so that was a little frustrating. The food took about 63 minutes to be delivered. It also wasn't very good, extremely bland. The pot stickers were pretty good though. Not a bad experience, but not a swell one either.
(2)Andrew T.
My friends and I usually come here for their all day happy hour on Sunday's. - They have a good selection ranging from $2-$5 and a decent drink menu. - Their regular menu has good variety and is reasonably priced. - Great service by the staff, when a dish was too spicy for a friend they offered to fix it so he could continue to enjoy it.
(4)Joe C.
I'd heard good things about this place, but was disappointed. On a Sunday afternoon, the apparent supervisor seemed to wish she were elsewhere, finally told me to take a seat in the bar. Service was lackadaisical, the food pricy for Thai. They did not ask what spice level I wanted (I lived in Asia many years and like it native) so what I got was bland, certainly not as good as many other Thai restaurants in the area. Maybe they were just tired from the Sunday lunch rush, I don't know. But nothing about that experience made me want to go back.
(3)Timothy A.
We ate dinner here on a recommendation from our Portland friends. My friend's wife is a Thai national and told us this place was one of her favorites. The food was excellent! We had Ginger Chicken, Cashew Chicken and Garlic Pork. All dishes were perfectly cooked and very flavorful with a good amount of vegetables included. Presentation was nice and the food was hot. So why not 5 stars? Service. We were quickly seated and our orders taken, but it became slow as others have pointed out. We were ready for a check for at least 15 minutes before our waitress finally drifted by again. If they solve the service issues this place would be 5 stars without question. If you go, be patient and enjoy the excellent food when it arrives.
(4)Julie S.
Food: great! Had the papaya salad, spring roll and pad Thai. Stressed mild for the pad Thai and it was fine. Papaya salad was my favorite! Cool, refreshing, with just the right amount of heat. Service: inconsistent. One person gave us water, another brought our food so had no idea who ordered what, and a third person took our payment. I used my yelp check-In for a free coconut ice cream. My friend asked for one too, that she would pay for, and it never came. She wasn't charged so that's good but he didn't listen.
(4)Luis A.
One of the best Thai spots I've been to. Love coming here when in Portland, a Thai restaurant I highly recommend.
(5)Deepak Reddy A.
Great place.. Good service. Would love to Visit again sometime. Complimentary coconut ice was awesome..
(4)K Q.
Wow, I'm not even sure where to start. I've loved Thai bloom since they have opened and return here often. This review is not about the food- which is top notch and delicious. This is about the service we received today. First, we ordered 5 things. All of which came out at different times. Could not even eat your ribs with your rice or noodles because they came out at least 15 minutes away from each other. Second, our noodles were cold. Third, they didn't even bring us our rice-ever. Fourth, they brought our ice cream desert out before they even finished bringing all of our dinner food. Full plates and all. Fifth, they never once checked on us and asked how we were doing. I don't know why the service was so off today but it's very disappointing. Hopefully it was a off day and not something to be repeated.
(2)Gohar S.
Great food! Awesome Happy Hour Specials!!! Only thing is the bar side is very lively/noisey.....don't mind but just FYI. Also, Happy Hour specials only available here....not part of regular restaurant seating. 2nd time here and food was just as good if not better!! Looking forward to round 3!
(5)Philip M.
OMGoodness, I LOVE this place! Consistently excellent food and prep. I ate there three times in one week recently, when I was moving and didn't have a kitchen for a few days. Did I mention I LOVE this place?!! Oh, and Happy Hour -- oh, yeah.
(5)Alana L.
One of the regular restaurants in our dinner rotation! Everything I've had is really good, portions are big, service is a bit slow, but when you are in good company, it's all good! Also, a free scoop of coconut ice cream is a great bonus!
(5)Angelique Y.
Food is awesome, atmosphere is nice... but definitely not something we can afford to do often. Last time we went, there were 7 of us. We were seated at a smallish set of tables and then easily moved when more space opened up. That was nice. The service is good, just not really affordable.to do often.
(4)Jo R.
Thai Bloom- one of the many Thai restaurants near the movie theater on Cedar Hills Boulevard. The pad thai is always the first thing I order at a new Thai restaurant; it makes a great "test" dish for comparison. The pad thai here was good, arrived quickly, and was comparable in price to most other places. Service was decent for a busy Friday night. I was actually surprised at how busy they were.
(4)Heidi S.
ALways so friendly, great food and is nice to go on birthdays
(5)Wesley M.
OK, without a doubt, the cheapest (without sacrificing quality) happy hour in downtown Portland. I'm not an expert on Thai cuisine, so purists need to try it for themselves, but in comparison to the rest of the Thai restaurants I've eaten at, this has to be near the top, both in ambiance and the quality of food. I'll be here at least once a week. Update: they put up their prices, no longer the cheapest. But still decent.
(5)James S.
This is by far one of the best Happy Hours in the area. Make sure to be patient as they get packed with a fun and vibrant crowd. The staff are friendly and attentive to your needs. I recommend sitting in the bar area or patio. The food quality and portions exceed expectations.
(5)Wendy R.
We love Thai Bloom! Especially as a (not by choice) gluten free family. We can eat here with confidence and they always take really good care of us!
(5)Jeff B.
Its not like theres a shoryage of Thai restaurants in Beaverton, so finding one that stands out is is hard to find. Thai Bloom is that place! We showed up with no reservations and a party of five on Valentine's at 8pm. They were very gracious and the hostess found us a table in about 10 minutes. Our waiter, Alex, was prompt, courteous and knowledgeable. As usual, the food was excellent. We ordered the Pad Thai, the Tom Yum soup, and Pad SE Ew. Everything came to the table piping hot. They also run specials when you check in on Yelp, so make sure you look for an offer. We ended up with the coconut ice cream. A fabulous way to end a really good meal.
(5)Kel L.
I can't add anything more than what 382 other reviewers have already said, but I must reminisce about my last visit: 1. HH is amazing! Oh the dialed in Thai flavors. How do they manage to make small plates with such unique flavors in each and every dish? The HH plates are smaller than the main menu, but ample enough to share. Who else does a 20 item HH menu of just Thai food, really good Thai food, no less? I've probably had everything on the HH menu and it's all wonderful. Great way to show off their culinary skills for the main event. 2. Fun cocktails, inventive and refreshing. 3. Service is usually pretty good to outstanding. 4. It is clean with nicely appointed décor 5. General restaurant food, is incredible, as well. They are the best in the area and you won't be disappointed whether it's Lunch, dinner or Happy Hour!
(5)Rose H.
Not the best Thai food I've had but definitely not the worst. They have two entrances- one for the bar and one for the actual restaurant. The bar was quite noisy. Our waitress only checked on us once and we were seated by the door- it was very cold. The food was good- not the best, but good. I liked their Thai iced tea and they had yummy ice cream. I don't know if we'll be back again. Did not seem worth the price.
(3)Binicorn S.
Oh my God how long does it take to stir fry some noodles. Don't go when it is busy. the food is good but it will take 45minutes to get 1plate of noodles and then we were asked to move because a large party. We then asked what are food was going to come and he said it was going to be next in line. At that point we left
(1)Kara D.
I have no idea what has happened here. We loved a last minute Thai Bloom run in-between clients. Everything used to be so fresh, so yummy, and never left me feeling icky. The last two times we have gone we have left very disappointed. Dry pad thai? that shouldn't be a thing. No more pork belly? Drunken noodles that left me feeling just a little bit off. I used to love this place for its very detailed menu about gluten etc and now I don't know what to think. Hopefully they work out some of these issues because it used to be the best thai food in Beaverton.
(2)Mathew K.
I had the Tom Kha Soup with tofu and Drunken Noodles with tofu. I checked in with Yelp and received Coconut Ice cream. They were delicious. Presentation was top notch.
(5)Minh V.
Great place. My son loves the calamari. Happy Hour is the best time to come and eat.
(4)Rhonda L.
Excellent food! The pineapple curry is delicious!! We were treated to a scoop of their handmade coconut ice cream, thanks to checking in with yelp!! I had trouble deciding on which plate to order for lunch, so I will have to come back soon to try the other good eats on their menu!
(4)Meredith B.
Pad thai was great and the pineapple fried rice was delicious. The wait staff was excellent.
(4)Genna C.
This place has everything I've been looking for....Thai food, relatively near home, well-priced, and excellent, friendly service. Bonus: all day Happy Hour on Sunday (score!) with treats like $2.95 micros, appetizers and small plates up to $4.95, fun specialty cocktails under $5.00. And yet, it's a 3-star for me. I had chicken pad thai and spring rolls. Both were...fine. A-ok. But very little flavor, spice, anything else going on. I like my Thai (and anything else, really) on the mild side. Pad Thai isn't known to be particularly spicy, in fact it's often not at all. But that sweet, rich sauce I usually love just had no real flavor at all. And that's too bad, because it was a perfect portion, nicely cooked noodles, delicious chicken - and I just wanted salt, sriracha, soy, something. Same with the spring rolls. They were a bit dry and while they did come with a dipping sauce that added some honey-like sweetness, there was no seasoning, chili, anything else to it. What it comes down to is I just wanted something to grab my attention and nothing did. HH prices are reasonable, as is lunch. Dinner prices are a bit high for the area but not out of the question at all for quality Thai. I'll be back to try some curries, as I've heard a lot of good things about Thai Bloom and it certainly has the Yelp cred to back it up....I just can't get past 3 stars at this point.
(3)Aaron J.
Seriously?!? Why does it take a fucking hour for our food to arrive at our table? I could have sworn that I didn't order delivery. Screw this place. The food is good, but it doesn't make up for the shitty service.
(1)Victor S.
Best Thai food around these neck of the woods. Enjoyed my experience there even when it gets really busy, the staff are friendly, courteous and welcoming. Very well run. My go to dishes are the Tom Ka soup, salad rolls and chicken skewers. Presentation of the dishes are well done and the quality of the ingredients can be tasted. Big fan.
(5)Luke S.
Went here for happy hour, we had dancing shrimp, chicken satay, and the potstickers, all of which were flavorful and delicious at a low price. We also had a couple cocktails which were strong and made to perfection! Low prices great atmosphere amazing service!
(5)Shantanu G.
Small but very good restaurant and staffs are very kind. I loved Orange Ribs, it was yummy :)
(5)S D.
Woo HOO Typhoon rises like a phoenix from the ashes....recreated as Thai Bloom, with all of the great food, talented chefs, lovely service, and none of the managerial drama. Excellent curries and tom gha soup. So so so so happy to find a great restaurant in Beaverton - it's been a challenge since we moved here from NE PDX a couple of years ago. Now I have my new fave Thai place close to home (happy sigh).
(5)Kat J.
Love the staff, love the food, but don't think children should be in the bar area. I love children but screaming in a restaurant not a good event.
(4)Amanda S.
We stopped in at Thai Bloom while we were in town looking for a new home a few weeks ago. The place was busy but were seated within 15 minutes. We were excited to try the food due to the great ratings on yelp. Unfortunately that was not our experience. Once seated the waitress brought us water and came back for our order. We ordered our drinks, appetizer and entree all at once. The drinks came quickly... then we waited and waited and after about 15 minutes our appetizers arrived - they were mediocre at best. The folks that came in after us at this point had received all of their food. Then the wait was on for our entree (noodle dish).... and we waited and waited and oh look our waitress. She filled up our water and said the food was on its way. Then more waiting for another 10 minutes. We asked the bus boy about our meal to which his response was "out of my pay grade" (seriously??). Then a guy stopped by our table (man in charge obviously) and proceeded to tell us about a large party that just arrived and asked us if we would mind moving tables. We were baffled at this point, so we said sure if you can kindly bring us our dinner. He went to check our meal and proceeded to tell us it was next up. That is when we left the establishment. It may be a one off but it was an incredibly disappointing experience and the staff did absolutely nothing to make the situation better... that is the most disappointing part. .
(1)Holly D.
I've tried many great, authentic restaurants and this one is pretty good. It has great rice dishes, but the noodle dishes (drunken noodle and pad thai) we tried were burned and not very good. The fried rice and curry options were all awesome. They also have great desserts. The Coconut sticky rice with mango was amazing!
(4)Kelly M.
LOVE LOVE LOVE! The happy hour is amazing! It happens from 4-6 and everything on the happy hour menu is UNDER $5.99, yes it is an amazing deal, and the food is just as delicious as the non-happy hour food. I love the decorating in this place, it is very modern and it is open and airy. The staff is wonderful, and is willing to meet your every need! When i found out the owners of my old favorite Typhoon had opened this place, i knew I had to go! You will not be disappointed. If you do not go during happy hour the prices are still great, and the portions are quite large! I have never had a bad experience here
(5)EM M.
Consistently the best value, quality, freshness, service of anywhere in the metro area. Easily my favorite spot in Beaverton. Been eating here for years and they only improve with each visit. We dine outdoors with our dog in the summer. Amazing happy hour. The people are great. I rarely write reviews but Thai bloom deserves more 5 stars.
(5)Joseph K.
Great portions and amazing drink prices for happy hour. Haven't checked out the normal lunch or dinner, but if the flavors are the same then i'm sure it's on point! Check-in using your yelp app to get a free hand made coconut ice cream.
(5)Jesy B.
I used to drive by the former Thai place that resided here - Thai Derm - and could never bring myself to try it. The name alone was...weird..but the reviews about bad service said NO. However, my co-worker insisted the new place was absolutely great and I should try it. Okay, I give. This place is good. Just walking in the door, you're probably feeling pretty good because it's laid out and decorated beautifully. It's also very open with large windows for nice lighting. The menu is huge. I'm a stickler for two Thai dishes: Pad Thai & Yellow Curry. My first go round I got the yellow curry. It was delicious - creamy, well spiced and fresh ingredients for sure. However, one of my dining companions got the Tom Yum noodles (which I had never heard of) and I was dish jealous immediately. I also got the Thai Iced Tea and it's made right. My second go round I was ready to order before I walked in the door...but my will was almost insta-weakened by the fall offering of Crab Pad Thai. Resolve won out and I got the Tom Yum Noodles. To describe this dish...well, heck let me describe it! Ground beef, BBQ pork, prawn dumpling & shrimp in a soup base with noodles. Hol-y crap. That is GOOD. The soup flavor is spiced just right & all the meats are great. Thankfully my co-worker got the crab Pad Thai so we traded a few tastes - OMG. That was good too! Service is polite and great. They're clearly working hard to please their clientele and are very enthusiastic as well. I overheard that the chef came from Typhoon! Unlike other reviewer, I won't hold that against them because the food is good, the restaurant is pleasant and I will be back. And back again.
(5)Ratestuff J.
Okay, we've stuck with Thai Bloom and have tried over a dozen different dishes now and I'm in love with place. Please stop by on any Sunday and try any of their happy hour plates. Amazing and inexpensive.

I used to go to Thai Derm, which was at this location.. We went as a group. We ordered different items, these are the items that I tried: Chicken Fried Rice (default spice level, which I expect to be medium spicy) wasn't spicy at all... very ordinary taste. Ginger Chicken (which has 2 spice levels next to it): Ordered it as medium spicy: not spicy, and not tasty as well. Cashew Chicken: I expected this to ordinary, but this was the best item over there. On a different visit, tried the same item with Cashew Tofu & vegetables: Pretty good with tofu pieces nice, soft & tasty (ordered it spicy and was the right spice level). Veggie Spring Rolls appetizer: pretty good (their peanut sauce that came with Combination appetizer was pretty good, like many Thai restaurants) Hoi Joh appetizer: This was decent to good as well. The veggie dish: Buddhas Delight was not good (as per the veggie person in the group). Thai iced tea was good. Decent service. For this restaurant, looks like Spicy spice level is same as Medium spice at other Thai restaurants. Everything that I order here is ordered Spicy. With so many thai restaurants, I would prefer going else where.

I never thought I would find a place better than E-San. The presentation for the food is exquisite.we ordered the drunken noodles and the crab pad Thai ...amazing flavor in both dishes . The salad rolls were good and finally I would like to add the cream cheese crab wonton since I love appetizers this one was my favorite . The service was excellent ...basically they are friendly and on top of there work ...thank you Thai Bloom and I will be coming back again...

Have been to Thai Bloom twice and both times the food was excellent (duck curry is especially good, wonderful mix of spicy savory flavor with a fruity sweetness that compliments it very well). The table staff is good overall as well; however, both times the reception process has been less well-organized. Host/hostess could not remember who we were less than a minute after taking our names; called for reservations on our second visit and requested a table in the dining room (not the bar). Arrived at the scheduled time and still had to wait twenty minutes - before being escorted to a table in the bar which we declined and waited another ten minutes for a table in the dining room. Overall, good restaurant but frustrating up to the point where you get seated in my experience. Also would be a good idea for them to mark the side entrance (at the bar) as just that - and direct people to the main entrance (which is paradoxically located on the side of the restaurant from the main street.

I recently moved up to Oregon. My boyfriend and I spent the day in Beaverton and decided to end our day at Thai Bloom! because of all the Yelp reviews. We started our dinner with each a glass of their delicious Thai iced tea and soup as an appetizer, I had a cup of Tofu and Veggie Soup which I found to be a little plain, but the veggies ad tofu were good. My boyfriend had the Tom Kha, he really enjoyed it. For the main dish I had the Pad See Ew, it was really good, the noodles were perfectly cooked, the veggies and the tofu were done well, the sauce combined everything nicely although it could have been a little spicier. My boyfriend had the Crab Pad Thai and he kept going on about it. We ended our evening with my boyfriend getting the Fried Banana and I got the Homemade Coconut Ice Cream. Both desserts were delicious! I cant wait to go back and try their other dishes and desserts!

I went to this restaurant last night for Valentine's dinner. It was my first time going in and didn't think to make reservations. The place was packed but we were seated within about 30 minutes, and were offered drinks during our wait. Once seated our server was very attentive and quickly took our drink and food orders. The food was good. We ordered Tom kha soup, papaya salad and eggplant stir fry. No complaints on any item. Our water glasses were never empty and we were even given chocolate covered strawberries as a valentines treat. price was good for a 3 course meal, would definitely go back!
(4)Tina K.
Can't go wrong with Thai Bloom! Impeccable flavors in every dish we ordered: Massuman Beef Curry, Swimming Rama, Cashew Chicken, & Tom Yum. Delicious! Sit away from windows - corner window table quite chilly! Lastly, and most important to me, TONS of gluten free options!!!!
(4)Cathy C.
I have eaten here two times. I tried their Drunken noodles, Basil Fried Rice and assorted appetizers. So far I have not had anything really exceptional. I might try them again, but their lunch menu is more expensive than other Thai restaurants that are closer to my work and the food has just been average. If you are on the west side of Beaverton try Zab or Thai 5.
(3)Amanda N.
Really great food, always fresh and hot, and the presentation is beautiful. Awesome veggie and gluten free options. One thing I would say is that the atmosphere is fancier than most Thai places around and there is usually a wait for dining in. If you go at peak time don't plan on eating within the hour, but the food is completely worth the wait!
(4)Delisa C.
Amazing happy hour but food is affordable on the regular menu also. The food, atmosphere, employees are all amazing. I love that they have outside seating. On the nice Pacific Northwest days, it is a must.
(5)Kandis F.
Great food, and good service. Very large portions. I had the crab pad Thai and a cup of Tom kah, and my husband had the pineapple fried rice. The tom kah wasn't that great, but the rest was very good.
(4)Sue L.
Came here a few months back and enjoyed the food. Thought the prices were a little high. On my husbands birthday this week I said, Hey honey you want to go out to eat tonight. He says sure. I say where do you want to go? How about that Thai place. I immediately know which Thai place. We went around 5:00 pm. The middle of happy hour. We were seated in the dining area. I asked the waitress if we could see the happy hour menu and order a few things while we were waiting for our daughter to join us in about 1/2 hour. She proceeds to tell me that we can't order off the happy hour menu unless we are sitting on the other side in the bar. Really? So we get up and walk over to the bar area. Kind of ridiculous to me, but ok. The bar was packed and it was a Wednesday. I was surprised but now I know why. The have a big happy hour menu with great prices. The food was even more delicious because the prices were great. We ended up making our meal for four of us out of several happy hour menu items, which we originally hadn't planned on doing. We were just going to get a couple of things while waiting for our daughter. ( One of our other daughters was already with us) We ordered: 2 cups of Tom Kha soup ( some of the best I have had) Drunken noodles Papaya salad Spring rolls Chicken larb salad 2 orders of edamame Chicken wings Cream cheese crab puff thingys Lightly dusted fried calamari 1 beer 1 raspberry lemon drop Also, they gave my hubby ice cream with strawberries and mint for free for his birthday. That was a nice touch. Anyways, total bill just under $50. Pretty good deal to feed 4 for dinner and we took home a little leftovers. The food was really fresh and delicious. We will definitely go back during happy hour which is from 4-6 during the week, but all day 12 - 9 on Sundays.
(4)Kelsey G.
Great food, great service! Happy hour all day Sunday! The coconut ice cream and sticky rice is to die for!
(5)Marissa P.
This is my new favorite thai restaurant in town! Seriously good food! There summer salad with shrimp and tempura asparagus is to die for! Very big salad, enough to share. The red pineapple curry is also delicious, very flavorful. What impressed me about this place is that everything is very flavorful and done well. Plus they have some super unique items on the menu. I'll definitely be back.
(5)Gary S.
Without a doubt this is one of the best Thai restaurants in the Beaverton area, maybe the best. It's a little on the pricey side as its easy to drop thirty plus dollars for lunch but the food is top notch. Plus, it's one of the few Thai restaurants that will actually spice up you food when you ask for it to be made spicy. I always get the beef salad made spicy with a side of rice to soak up the extra dressing and I've never been disappointed. My main complaint is their lack of brown rice. Nice setting, good food and attentive service make this a great place for a romantic dinner or business lunch.
(5)Vi N.
We came here on Sunday because my sister said that they have a killer happy hour that runs all day on Sundays. We were going to wait to go here for a special occasion but the happy hour deals were too enticing to hold off on. The happy hour menu had a lot of choices, but I wish it had even more entree choices. I started pointing at all the things and the waiter commented on how hungry I was. I was hungry indeed, but more curious than hungry. I would definitely get the calamari and the drunken noodles again. Everybody should check in here on yelp because you get a free coconut ice cream. The ice cream was phenomenal and homemade. It also has a bunch of coconut chunks in it. I also should include that the happy hour food portions appear to be smaller than their non happy hour counterparts. My sister and I felt like cheapskates for ordering off the uber affordable HH menu and also taking advantage of the free ice cream yelp deal. However I know I will make it up by coming back plenty and plenty of times.
(5)Anna L.
Drunken Noodle was my favorite!
(4)Patrick M.
THEY DELIVER! Just used their delivery service for the first time. Hadn't even heard of the place before. Just needed food after a day of moving. Staff on the phone was polite, efficient and professional. I ordered 6 different main dishes from Pad Thai and Pas Se Ew to the String Beans and Panang Curry. All of it was very, very good. Nothing was forgotten (always a risk with delivery). They quoted a 45 minute delivery time and it took just about 35 minutes. Great food. Great service. I'll be back...
(5)Nicole K.
I love their green curry and pad thai, it made the fiance a fan of Thai cuisine, he now requests it on a regular basis. The duck curry is FANTASIC! The chicken satay was a little on the dry side, though.
(4)Jay P.
Great food and great service. Gotta try the happy hour dishes like pad thai, fried rice, chicken skewers, and calamari. All range in price from 2.99, 3.99, & 5.99 with a few other options in between. Portions are enough for two people. We spent just about $30 and took food home (price included drinks). The atmosphere was above average and the servers were very nice and were very forthright when describing the portion amounts and didn't try an make you buy more than you should - pet peeve of mine. All and all, I would highly recommend.
(4)Rochelle M.
Best pumpkin curry ever tasted! Such a selection of authentic thai cuisine and the a huge variety of happy hour menu. All the staff is so nice and friendly...I always feel like family when I come here!
(5)Jason H.
This place is GREAT! Sunday all day happy hour pricing is amazing. But if you try it Sunday, you'll want to come back twice before Sunday rolls around again. So good. I love their pad thai. See their lovely restaurant in this short video. vimeo.com/74071064
(5)Carina H.
The start of my review. The place is hopping! My friend and I were seated within about ten minutes. We ordered, received out Thai iced tea right away. However, we waited an hour for our pad Thai. After about forty minutes we asked the gentleman who seated us about our food. He graciously told us we were second in line. After he helped us our waiter finally came to check on us, numerous times. The food itself came out hot and was good, but the service was lacking. I'll probably come back, but on another night and I won't sit in the bar. Update, after we asked about our food, the service improved. Additionally we were given complementary ice cream. It won't change my review entirely, but it was a nice gesture.
(3)David R.
Thai Bloom was always on my to visit list in Portland area. Last Sunday, I finally get to go try it. I order larb chicken and hai joh for appetizers. Their hai joh was the best I had in Portland, however I was a little disappointed with their crab pal thai.
(4)Dee J.
Serviced by Nick: Fantastic! He's attentive, friendly, and just wonderful. Food: 5+ stars. Secret menu - papaya salad - Lao style. Very spicy but very good. Not on the secret menu but just as good: the Tom Yum Soup, Seafood Delight and Crab Pad Thai are just great! Dessert: fried banana ala mode...very delish! Overall: great food, great service, decent pricing. Will definitely be back!
(5)Lisa S.
Sorry, Thai Bloom, but Siam Lotus has you beat, on every level, and it's only a stone's throw away, so.....we won't be back to Thai Bloom. Seriously .... no clue why this place has 500 reviews. For training purposes at Thai Bloom, here's the scoop: your "Salad Rolls" have no salad in them. One shrimp, one tiny lettuce leaf and 95% rice noodles does not constitute a salad roll. Next: the pineapple fried rice should have more than 3 shrimp. The fried rice, in general, is not great. Check out the restaurant Pho Tango off of Cornelius Pass for the right way to do fried rice (with the right proportions of ingredients). Next: chicken is flat, old and tough. Not good. Again, Siam Lotus has amazingly juicy chicken in all the dishes. I could keep going .... but the bottom line is, this place is too expensive for the lack of fresh ingredients.
(1)Miss C.
I love the salmon curry and Thai dishes they have to offer! Great service and nice vibe
(5)Yvette H.
Very good experience! Drunken noodles were good. The drinks were expertly crafted. Will go back.
(4)John K.
I don't really know what to say, except there's a first time for everything. It's Sunday evening when my wife, my friend and I decide to stop here for dinner. The wait was long, but that wasn't the problem. Eventually we were seated. The waitress cautioned us that it might take a while for our food, so she suggested we order our drinks and appetizers first. Fair enough. When our drinks came, she took our entrée order. Fifteen minutes later, we got the appetizers. Forty five minutes later, the waitress returned to ask if we wanted dessert. Surprised, we politely said that we hadn't received our entrée yet. She apologized then disappeared again. After fifteen minutes spent doubting our own sanity, we asked if the entrées were coming. She started to apologize, but my friend just asked for the check. Ten minutes later, she brought that. We left. Don't really know what to say. I should have talked to the manager, but we were all in shock at what had transpired. It's unfortunate, because the food is good. The service is hall of shame level, though, and there is simply too much good Thai food in this town to return. Oh well.
(1)Megan Y.
Come for the happy hour! They have a great selection of food and drinks for a happy hour menu and the prices are very reasonable for what you get. I liked the chicken pad thai, but thought it could've had a little more flavor. The drunken noodles were also pretty good, but I've definitely had better. I also tried the calamari, which I thought was really good. I like my calamari crispy rather than chewy and that's how it is here. Their seating area for happy hour is on the side of the restaurant with the bar. There's probably ~15 or more tables that are meant for 2 people, but they can easily arrange the tables to accommodate larger parties. My group had about 10 people and the staff was really helpful in making sure we could all seat together. You can also choose to sit at the bar if you want to. If you're a yelper, make sure to check in for your free coconut ice cream! I personally hate coconut flavored things so I thought the ice cream was horrible. However, most of the people in my group thought it was super delicious. Can't go wrong with a free yelp deal!
(4)Ty N.
Decent food, the service is amazing and the happy hour menu is good. We ordered fried calamari, chicken larb salad, papaya salad, pad tai with chicken, chicken satay, few drinks. All choices that we had were decent, the staff are very friendly, helpful and attentive. Bill came up to a decent price. It is a decent Thai restaurant for Beaverton area. Still nothing to top it off with any restaurant in San Francisco but I will return. One of the staff came up and helped me with my car because it needed a jump. So I thank him for that, what a nice man!
(4)J K.
Go for their regular, Late night, or Sunday Happy Hour. The apps and entrees run from $2.99 to $6.99 per dish. They have a regular dining room and the bar/lounge area. Ask to sit in the lounge. Happy Hour food is only served there. It's a good thing because I found the lounge area to be more open and cheerful. My teenage daughter was able to dine there. She loved the Thai Fried Rice and I thought the Drunken noodles were really good. I've had Panang Curry and Pinapple Fried Rice delivered. They were both good too, but it can get pricy with the added delivery costs in addition to their higher normal entree prices. Still...looking forward to coming back for Happy hour instead for a discount. Oh yeah, check in on Yelp app for a free coconut ice cream dessert. It was good.
(4)Peter R.
This is a pretty bittersweet review. My family and friends just left the restaurant after what we'd hoped would be a really nice dinner. And I'm happy to report that, in terms of the contents of the food, the quality of drinks, and the tastiness of the appetizers, everything was great. They were even able to take same-day reservations for a party of six. But the service was horrible. And again, it's not like they were cruel, or rude, it was just too damn busy. They had too many customers, and clearly not enough staff. Not enough waiters on the floor, and definitely not enough bartenders or cooks. As an example, it took an hour to get a glass of wine. After three requests. Our appetizers came out swiftly at the beginning of the meal. They were excellent. Again, I can't emphasize enough: the food was fantastic. But then it was over an hour until dinner showed up. Thank Christ we had good company & conversation, otherwise I think we would've burned the place down to the waterline. I would go back again, but only for takeout. My wine showed up as we were paying the bill. We sent it back.
(3)Laurence B.
We wanted a change for take out last night, and were very pleasantly surprised by Thai Bloom! Some different options: summer roll, hoi joh (seafood balls), pad ped beef, and crab fried rice... And the requisite eggplant stir fry. And the best part, they deliver! This may now be out go to Thai take out place!
(5)Jayson C.
The best food in this genre. Great staff and fun atmosphere. Family in back, funky upfront.
(5)Margaret R.
+ nice service + delicious coconut ice cream that I got for free by checking in on Yelp. Though I think $4.99 for a scoop of ice cream is overpriced. The ice cream tasted like a mix between shaved ice and sorbet. + yummy eggplant and tofu, though not spec
(4)Brittany F.
Probably the best Thai food I've had in Portland. We ordered the Tom Kha soup--DELicious! Potstickers--also delicious! The Panang curry--yummy! and the Saw de ew noodles--going to try the Pad Thai noodles next time instead. The best part is the free coconut ice cream that they hand make with your yelp check-in. I usually don't like coconut ice cream but I devoured this one! So good! The service was just ok, kind of a let down compared to the awesome food.
(5)Daniel N.
Never had a peoblem with the services here. Very nice and attentive. I have tried mostly everything on the menu so hopefully my review sounds creditable for everyone. This place has very good Thai ice tea and coffee - not too sweet and flavorful. I tried to stop eating Signature Boat noodle but I couldn't - shame. It's just too good to give up with. The broth isn't too hot (your tongue might love it) and the noodle is right- neither too soft nor too hard to chew. Make sure you try it with beef- which is very soft and goes good with the broth. And Yelper shouldn't forget to check in here to get a free coconut ice cream . yummm
(5)Maggie W.
You, my friend, may stop your pursuit of happiness because it resides here, during Thai Bloom's happy hour. With multiple happy hours every day AND a whole day-long happy hour on Sunday, you and your stomach both will be happy with the extensive HH menu. Drunken noodles (pad kee mao), pad thai, fried calamari all make the list here for $7 and under. I always appreciate it when a restaurant doesn't skimp out on the portion size just because the meals are cheaper, and Thai Bloom does not disappoint. I recommend the Thai fried rice, the calamari, and the potstickers. And although I didn't try it, the chicken wings looked and smelled delicious. You'll be so full that you won't even have enough stomach space to get the free coconut ice cream by checking in with Yelp! I'll definitely be back for more, Thai Bloom!
(4)Happy O.
As a newcomer to the area I did seek advice on good Thai restaurants and I was very pleasantly surprised with Thai Bloom. Tucked away in a little strip mall this tasty morsel with ample parking (perhaps because the little brew pub next was closed for repairs) and quaint outside seating. We opted to sit inside as it was an usually warm day for Portland standards. My husband ordered the Panang Curry with chicken and I ordered the traditional Pad Thai with prawns. Our server was very knowledgeable about the menu and asked us all the right questions and what was brought to us was the perfect blend spice, heat and yummy goodness! The restaurant was busy, the atmosphere heady with a blend of spice, and fragrant notes that left us with a feeling of satisfaction with both the food and the restaurant in general. We'll be back!
(4)Khoa N.
We come here on occasion when we want some happy hour Thai food. The great thing about this place is its happy hour, their selection is big so you have a lot of options and the price is reasonable. I got beef pad thai and fried calamari. The calamari seemed like it was frozen but thats probably why its cheap and fried and the pad thai didnt have as much beef as i was wanting. Overall the service was good and the waitress was helpful by checking up on us throughout the meal. When you check in you also get a small coconut ice cream dessert a good way to finish off the meal. They have a horrible item for happy hour called orange ribs. For the love of god take that off the menu and never bring it back. I had this the first time i ate here and i thought my ribs were actually turning orange! I dont know what the color orange entails but it is not good. Do not order it TL:DR THE thai happy hour spot, dont get orange ribs. Trust me
(4)Ranjita L.
Great food, great presentation. But too pricey. I was full in a small portion shared with my husband
(5)V C.
Good food. Wait staff is often slow and forgets things but the food makes it worth it. Honestly if they would comp a drink here and there for the bigger mess ups all would be well. I really like the pad Thai (don't order it to go though it gets soggy) and the yellow curry. Good knowledge on gluten free options.
(4)Mark B.
Update: I have become a regular for their happy hour. The happy hour prices are great. The whole place is bright, clean and friendly. Happy hour Menu; Pad Thai with chicken: this is my favorite happy hour item. The portion on this makes a good meal for me. I keep forgetting to tell them to hold the sprouts though. Pot stickers and chicken satay, both are yummy and make great starters or snacks. Dessert: Mango sticky rice! I love this dish and Thai Bloom makes a great version. Fried bananas; OK probably had a million calories but tastes great. While there are dishes not to my taste I have friends who love them. Tip they just opened a branch on NW 23rd in Portland. Pro tip, check in with Yelp mobile for a free scoop of coconut ice cream.
(5)Marna G.
I love this little place- it's in a nice location, it's directly across the street from the nice Goodwill has a great selection of vinyls :) - The food is pretty darn good and the waitstaff are very kind. Anyone who knows me can tell you that I am a potsticker and fresh salad roll junkie. I love peanut sauce- Great peanut sauce and I unapologetically judge a Thai restaurant by their peanut sauce. Thai Bloom has great peanut sauce - I just wished they served it in larger serving dishes. There is just the right amount of heat and sweet and delicious peanut a goodness and every spoonful. All the usual suspects that are offered on most Thai menus are on this one - however, you have to give their orange ribs a try as well as their crab pad Thai and their pumpkin curry. In a word yum. In fact, all of their Curry is great and the only thing I will tell you is that even their most mild and benign Curry has a bit of a kick to it. There is ample parking - they have their own lot, they do take credit cards, and prices are reasonable. The only weird thing about this place are the bathrooms. I'm not sure what's really going on but when you walk into the bathrooms it's stifling, hot like you've walked into a jungle. It's sort of creepy. So if you're out perusing vinyls and work up an appetite - walk across the street and get your Thai fix on - you won't be disappointed.
(4)Emily N.
Really felt mis-leaded by all the reviews this restaurant had. They have good happy hour price, but all the food we got (drunken noodle, fried rice, and pad Thai didn't taste authentic at all. Tasted super Americanize. It's all still edible but didn't taste like Thai food :(
(3)Jessica V.
Came here and loved it! The price is reasonable for the amount of food you receive. We arrived and were seated in the bar area due to dinner hour. They are very busy but attentive to your every need. Our servers were great. Very friendly ...providing our need before we even asked. Highly recommend this restaurant and love the check in bonus. The ice cream was AMAZING!
(5)Lauren R.
Terrible service, bland food. I came to order take-out in the restaurant around 8:00pm thinking it wouldn't be busy. To my surprise it was busy and I was impressed thinking the food must be great. Stood in front of the host at the counter while he was typing in the computer for about 5 minutes when he finally offered to take my order. Put in a simple order for Pineapple Fried rice and asked to hold the raisins. After taking my personal information, (first and last name and phone) which seemed excessive considering I was standing there, paying and waiting to walk out with my food I was told it would it be 15-20 minutes. I was surprised it would take up to 20 minutes but sat down and waited. While sitting I observed three parties walk up to him and ask to pay stating they had been forgotten. Meanwhile, bags for delivery and pick-up were being brought to the front. I noticed a small bag placed after just a few minutes but based on being told it would take 15-20 minutes didn't think it was mine. My husband came in after about 15 minutes and noticed a bag with my name on it. It was the small bag that had now been sitting there for over 10 minutes getting cold while I was just waiting and would have been waiting for who knows how long. The worst part was getting home to my meal, WITH raisins and super bland rice. Never again.
(1)Katherine V.
Yep, we have a new favorite here. Thai Bloom has a wonderful happy hour schedule: 4 to 6 PM Daily 8 PM to Close Mon -Thu 9 PM to Close Fri - Sat All Day Sunday What great times for happy hour! The staff are really friendly and helpful. Always smiling. They also put up with Ben's off-the-menu requests for soda-water and juice. The food is generally delicious and unique. Also, it's well explained on the menu so you know what to expect when it comes out. The Wide Noodles (pretty spicy) are a favorite. Been there three times...ordered them three times. The Phad Thai was bland...but...whatever, there are other awesome menu items to choose from. I like the Green Papaya Salad a lot. The Tom Kha soup is amazing and I've ordered that twice as well. So many good things to try on the Happy Hour menu. As far as cocktails go, they're generally strong. The first one I tried here was the Lychee one. It's literally vodka and smashed lychee. I couldn't even finish it. Taking it as a couple shots would be a better idea than sipping it. Next trip I tried the One Night In Bangkok one. Better, still strong...good though. I eventually tried another cocktail...can't remember the name but it was red and delicious. Best one so far. The portion to price ratio is fantastic and overall a great deal. The food comes out quickly. Don't forget your free Check In coconut ice cream!
(5)Dima A.
Service seems great. Prices seem fair. It's alway busy and the food looks and smells amazing. I will definitely be come back here.
(5)Safiah P.
This place never fails. The food is so yummy, all the time. I always order my food to go because this place is always busy, and I know why. The food is so delicious. The atmosphere and place is so chill. And this is the only place who does Laos style papaya salad. Happy camper.
(5)Rodd S.
Really this is exceptional. Used to have lunch here when i worked nearby several years ago. After a long hiatus from trying to drive in Beaverton, I returned for dinner and it was totally worth the hassle. Very interesting and diverse menu makes it tough to choose! The portions were generous and the flavours were amazing. Go family style!
(5)Kari C.
This place is always busy! Be prepared to wait at least 30min - 1 hr during busy dinner time. Make sure to call ahead. It's not a place to come if you have very little patience, expected to be served immediately, and/or eating within 15min of ordering. I know, how 'un-Asian' of them. But you will soon realize how rewarding your experience could be as soon as you take that first whiff of someone's dish leaving the kitchen. That aromatic trail leaves you blinded and thirty min wait time doesn't sound so bad... But, snack a little so your diva doesn't come uninvited. My staple dishes: Hot wings, Papaya Salad, and Drunken noodles. Wings: come in four pieces all together, dry battered placed on top of sweet/spicy/garlicky sauce, and served with pickled radish and carrot sticks. I love how simple it is but executed perfectly. Wings are warm and crunchy with perfect amount of sauce you can 'dip'. It makes my mouth water just thinking about this. Let me just preface by saying these are no where close to Pok Pok's famous wings. If you gotta have PP's, you just gotta go there. But this is a good alternative on the West side and different enough that I think it deserves its own shout out. Papaya Salad: I usually order this at every thai restaurant. I think it's really personal dish as some may prefer salty, spicy, or sweet, or sour than other. For me, sweetness is overpowering and lacks sour/Limey note in the flavor profile. A little downer... But to finish on a high note, Drunken Noodle (Pad Kee Mao): Better than most places I've tried. Some might consider this dish little dry as you don't see extra sauce 'dripping'. However, I appreciate the sauce/noodle/veggies ratio. Flavor of the sauce is balanced. Noodles are perfectly cooked EVERY time. You don't see broken pieces (which a lot of places over cook) and no dry spots! Happy Hour: If dinner is too much of a commitment for you try their HH. They have pretty large selection to choose from. My favorite HH is on Sundays because it's ALL day! However, be aware that it's only available in their bar area. There is a wait list (during busy hours/Sundays) and they will ask you to check with the host before you get too comfortable, if you decide to seat yourself. Now, go find your own favorites and let your taste bud do the talking. :) Have fun!

Thai Bloom- Great Thai food- the owners are great people! And you can tell in the cooking.... Thank you Sam and your lovely wife for opening back in my neighbor hood!!! Oh they have a great Happy Hour

One of our goto places for Thai food around Beaverton. Ever since we stumbled upon this place through yelp we have been coming here pretty often. Nearly everything that we have had here has been good. My favorite here has been the drunken noodle, ask for spicy if you want to enjoy it more. There are multiple tasty dishes to try here. In no particular order here are some of the dishes that I would definitely try again: flaming fish, pad Thai, cashew chicken and the basil fried rice. If you want flavor and protein then the flaming fish is a good idea, and I was not feeling stuffed after that. Basil fried rice is something that that we recently tried and enjoyed a lot. Pad Thai and cashew chicken are standard and safe options that always deliver. They have a nice happy hour where you can try multiple things in smaller portions and enjoy. I would suggest checking it out and trying it. The icing on the cake is, if you checkin on yelp then, you get a free coconut ice cream with chocolate and peanut on it. Definitely try it. Always fun to finish with this.

Great place for a nice dinner of some delicious Thai food. This place can definitely get crowded quickly. Came here on a Friday at around 5:45 and by the time we left there was a long wait by the door. But they also offer carry out and delivery. This time around had the salad rolls as an appetizer. Really good! And then for dinner I had their green curry with chicken. Their portions are definitely generous! Plenty of food for two meals. My mom had some eggplant dish with ground chicken that was good as well. Highly recommend if you enjoy Thai food.

I've been wanting to try Thai Bloom since it popped up on Cedar Hills a while ago...We hadn't planned on eating here last Saturday, but after Rama Thai had a 30 minute wait, we decided to head down the road and try it out. When we walked in I was immediately hit with the overwhelming smell of shrimp, and about an 80 degree room temperature. There was a lobby full of people but we signed in, and only waited about 15 minutes for a table, not too bad. We were seated in the bar, and it took about 15 more minutes for our waitress to acknowledge us. Once she took our drink/appetizer orders (Thai iced tea and veggie spring rolls), she didn't return until they were ready (15 more minutes), and that's when she finally took our food order. My guy ordered the chicken pad Thai, and I had the tom kha soup. Our food took about 45 minutes to get to our table from this point. The breakdown: Veggie Spring Rolls, they were delicious. The inside was filled with cabbage, noodles, carrots, and some corn. The dipping sauce was a very viscous well-balanced sweet and sour sauce that complemented the rolls perfectly. The Thai iced tea was way too sweet for my liking, almost unpalatable. The Chicken Pad Thai was extremely dry, there wasn't enough sauce, and it lacked depth in flavor. It was sub par for sure. The tom kha soup was decent. It is a far thicker consistency than I'm used to for this soup, not a bad thing just very noticeable. I chose to have chicken in my soup, and it was fine I guess, it basically tasted like boiled chicken (how much raving can you do for that). I did notice that there weren't the normal large chunks of galangal root to avoid, which was nice, and just a few lemongrass layers needed to be removed. The flavor was spot on, but they had crumbled a chili into the soup and it was really hot. I've never had this type of soup be spicy, the chili is normally intact so that you can choose your level of spicy. Not this night. The spicy soup combined with the extremely high temperature and loudness of the restaurant, and the overwhelming smell of shrimp started becoming unbearable during the meal. Halfway though our meal we both started feeling sick from it all, and just wanted to leave. It took us 20 minutes just to get our waitress's attention so that we could have our check. All in all, the food was just okay to dine is such a loud, smelly, hot atmosphere with kind of terrible service.

Happy hour food is delicious, but the service is horrible. Make sure you have lots of patience!

We've been here a few times and while some experiences were better than others, they have all been worth the money. I especially appreciate that everything is cooked fresh when ordered and the cooks can cater to food allergies. Some restaurants make you seem like you're putting them out or being 'that pesky patron' if you ask for a dish to be made without fish sauce. Not Thai Bloom! They aim to please and they have never ever made me feel embarrassed to ask! I also appreciate that this is a family friendly restaurant. They even left children into the bar area during Happy Hour! (This is great if you have picky kids and need to order lots of small plates, btw ). I highly recommend the curries and the Pad Thai, but I've never had a meal here that I didn't enjoy!

Oh my ! I'm from California visiting and this place is hands down delicious ! Service was great,food was delicious, and the atmosphere was just right. Sad we don't have a place like this in Cali ! Yum mm I'll be back when I visit again. 5 stars
(5)Amy L.
Great happy hour food!! Great prices for a large variety of their popular dishes. I went here with a few of my friends and we got a little bit of everything. Papaya salad: Flavorful and tasty portion is generous. Nice and spicy just the way l like it. Tom Yum soup: got a cup full of tofu and veggies. They are quite generous most places would give you more watered down version. Pad Kee Mao(Drunken Noodles): Generous portion, delicious and tasty. Filling meal for one or great to share. Drinks were tasty and well made they definitely don't skimp on the liquor. Overall a great place to hang out and grab happy hour food. I would definitely come back again to try more dishes.
(4)Sussi P.
my favorite restaurant, great food, good service. cashew chicken, salad roles, green curry all good going to have to investigate the secret menu
(5)Sesha M.
tom kha is the best in PDX!
(4)Jack L.
Almost walked out. I'm very into Thai food, and this place was nothing but decent. At $14 for a plate of mediocre Pad Thai, a 40 minute wait time, a VERY loud lobby, and a water glass with lipstick from the previous patron - just avoid it!
(1)Stacy C.
Best salad rolls Best drunken noodles Best Pad Thai Great Thai sticky wings MoooWEEEE yummy mango sticky rice. * if I could order just one thing * Happy Hour offerings are great and very fair prices. Everything comes out hot hot hot. Outside seating on nice days. Big bar area- which is where I like to be. Excellent, personable service. (I need to start getting the employee names at restaurants to post w/review as its fabulous to get an atta in this ever negative, impossible to please world)
(5)Jordan B.
Excellent Thai curry. Very flavorful food. Be sure to show your waitress your yelp app for a free ice cream
(5)Jeff J.
I have come here with a friend for happy hour, It is great, I love the Pad Thai
(4)M P.
Nice place for a decent Thai meal. I had the massaman, which was extremely tasty with a lot of meat. They use a high quality brisket that also melts in your mouth. My wife had another tasty dish that was very flavorful. While the name of that dish is forgettable, the dish itself is far from it. Just ask for the yummy yellow stuff in a bowl with noodles....... We will be back!
(5)Karen B.
Love this place!!!! Food is always delicious and the staff is wonderful! One of my favorite restaurants. Try the panang curry, drunken noodles and basil chicken. You will not be disappointed!
(5)Hailey B.
The best Thai food we've had in so long. The curry is divine. It's rich and the depth of flavor is mouth watering. Their noodle dishes are also very tasty and fresh. We've been here so many times recently. It's so good, we crave it!
(4)Marilyn S.
Great food, but I dock them a star for bad service. They're not that big of a restaurant and they have lots of staff, so I'm not sure why every time we go our water glasses remain empty for most of the meal. They have very tasty dishes that are unique. I can't stray from the glass noodle dishes - the sukiyaki soup and the summer sukiyaki stir fry. Soooo delicious!
(4)Falon M.
Wa really pleased with the food and service here! The salad rolls were some of the best I've had, and I've had a few in my time. I had the Panang Curry and my dining partner had the Flaming Halibut, both were sooo delicious. Convenient location, lovely atmosphere and attentive service.. couldn't ask for more! The serving sizes do seem small when you first get it but with an appetizer it ended being the perfect size. Will be back for sure!
(5)Matthew W.
For those of you who used to frequent Typhoon, Thai Bloom is, IMHO, its reincarnation. The menu is similar and the flavors nearly identical - at least for the dishes I enjoy. The ample dining area is to the left of the entrance, but there is a bar area good for quick lunches or happy hour. I would give Thai Bloom five stars, except the service can be error prone and occasionally sluggish. The restaurant is often busy, but they do cater if you want them to come to you. They are a frequent lunch meeting choice at my office. Parking is a bit of a Wild Wild West feel since the lines have faded to nothing. People are lousy at parking even with lines, so you can imagine what happens without them! The addition of a brew pub next door doesn't help either. The food is well worth the minor hassles though.
(4)Randall D.
Great choice and the bar area is isolated from the restaurant so you can choose between noisy or quiet. Good food and friendly service.
(4)Jessie B.
This is one of our favorite restaurants in town. I have never had anything I disliked. I do have favorites and less favorites. The happy hour is great for small plates. They mark common dietary accommodations on their menu (gluten free and vegan). Tonight we had pineapple fried rice and salad rolls.
(5)Gerri M.
Lovely restaurant with wonderful Thai food!
(5)Louise G.
Ordered crying tiger and Bloom salad and it wasn't that big portion for the price. You probably need to order 3 items for two people there. The sauces were very tasty but spicy, so just make sure if your a spice light weight you order the dressing on the side. Service is okay, nothing great, but not that bad.
(3)Mackenzie S.
I called and was on hold for about 7 minutes before someone spoke to me, so that was a little frustrating. The food took about 63 minutes to be delivered. It also wasn't very good, extremely bland. The pot stickers were pretty good though. Not a bad experience, but not a swell one either.
(2)Andrew T.
My friends and I usually come here for their all day happy hour on Sunday's. - They have a good selection ranging from $2-$5 and a decent drink menu. - Their regular menu has good variety and is reasonably priced. - Great service by the staff, when a dish was too spicy for a friend they offered to fix it so he could continue to enjoy it.
(4)Joe C.
I'd heard good things about this place, but was disappointed. On a Sunday afternoon, the apparent supervisor seemed to wish she were elsewhere, finally told me to take a seat in the bar. Service was lackadaisical, the food pricy for Thai. They did not ask what spice level I wanted (I lived in Asia many years and like it native) so what I got was bland, certainly not as good as many other Thai restaurants in the area. Maybe they were just tired from the Sunday lunch rush, I don't know. But nothing about that experience made me want to go back.
(3)Timothy A.
We ate dinner here on a recommendation from our Portland friends. My friend's wife is a Thai national and told us this place was one of her favorites. The food was excellent! We had Ginger Chicken, Cashew Chicken and Garlic Pork. All dishes were perfectly cooked and very flavorful with a good amount of vegetables included. Presentation was nice and the food was hot. So why not 5 stars? Service. We were quickly seated and our orders taken, but it became slow as others have pointed out. We were ready for a check for at least 15 minutes before our waitress finally drifted by again. If they solve the service issues this place would be 5 stars without question. If you go, be patient and enjoy the excellent food when it arrives.
(4)Julie S.
Food: great! Had the papaya salad, spring roll and pad Thai. Stressed mild for the pad Thai and it was fine. Papaya salad was my favorite! Cool, refreshing, with just the right amount of heat. Service: inconsistent. One person gave us water, another brought our food so had no idea who ordered what, and a third person took our payment. I used my yelp check-In for a free coconut ice cream. My friend asked for one too, that she would pay for, and it never came. She wasn't charged so that's good but he didn't listen.
(4)Luis A.
One of the best Thai spots I've been to. Love coming here when in Portland, a Thai restaurant I highly recommend.
(5)Deepak Reddy A.
Great place.. Good service. Would love to Visit again sometime. Complimentary coconut ice was awesome..
(4)K Q.
Wow, I'm not even sure where to start. I've loved Thai bloom since they have opened and return here often. This review is not about the food- which is top notch and delicious. This is about the service we received today. First, we ordered 5 things. All of which came out at different times. Could not even eat your ribs with your rice or noodles because they came out at least 15 minutes away from each other. Second, our noodles were cold. Third, they didn't even bring us our rice-ever. Fourth, they brought our ice cream desert out before they even finished bringing all of our dinner food. Full plates and all. Fifth, they never once checked on us and asked how we were doing. I don't know why the service was so off today but it's very disappointing. Hopefully it was a off day and not something to be repeated.
(2)Gohar S.
Great food! Awesome Happy Hour Specials!!! Only thing is the bar side is very lively/noisey.....don't mind but just FYI. Also, Happy Hour specials only available here....not part of regular restaurant seating. 2nd time here and food was just as good if not better!! Looking forward to round 3!
(5)Philip M.
OMGoodness, I LOVE this place! Consistently excellent food and prep. I ate there three times in one week recently, when I was moving and didn't have a kitchen for a few days. Did I mention I LOVE this place?!! Oh, and Happy Hour -- oh, yeah.
(5)Alana L.
One of the regular restaurants in our dinner rotation! Everything I've had is really good, portions are big, service is a bit slow, but when you are in good company, it's all good! Also, a free scoop of coconut ice cream is a great bonus!
(5)Richard C.
Very tasty, certainly holds its own against the way too many Thai places around. Food is well presented. Low rating is because the menu prices are too high, not a good value compared to the others.
(2)Morning M.
This place just keeps getting better. My wife and I love their happy hour menu. We can darn near stuff ourselves for 20 bucks. It's on all day Sunday. Priced right, delicious food, good variety of items, and good portion sizes. Try the spicy chicken with basil. Excellent!
(5)Angelique Y.
Food is awesome, atmosphere is nice... but definitely not something we can afford to do often. Last time we went, there were 7 of us. We were seated at a smallish set of tables and then easily moved when more space opened up. That was nice. The service is good, just not really affordable.to do often.
(4)Jo R.
Thai Bloom- one of the many Thai restaurants near the movie theater on Cedar Hills Boulevard. The pad thai is always the first thing I order at a new Thai restaurant; it makes a great "test" dish for comparison. The pad thai here was good, arrived quickly, and was comparable in price to most other places. Service was decent for a busy Friday night. I was actually surprised at how busy they were.
(4)Heidi S.
ALways so friendly, great food and is nice to go on birthdays
(5)Wesley M.
OK, without a doubt, the cheapest (without sacrificing quality) happy hour in downtown Portland. I'm not an expert on Thai cuisine, so purists need to try it for themselves, but in comparison to the rest of the Thai restaurants I've eaten at, this has to be near the top, both in ambiance and the quality of food. I'll be here at least once a week. Update: they put up their prices, no longer the cheapest. But still decent.
(5)James S.
This is by far one of the best Happy Hours in the area. Make sure to be patient as they get packed with a fun and vibrant crowd. The staff are friendly and attentive to your needs. I recommend sitting in the bar area or patio. The food quality and portions exceed expectations.
(5)Wendy R.
We love Thai Bloom! Especially as a (not by choice) gluten free family. We can eat here with confidence and they always take really good care of us!
(5)Jeff B.
Its not like theres a shoryage of Thai restaurants in Beaverton, so finding one that stands out is is hard to find. Thai Bloom is that place! We showed up with no reservations and a party of five on Valentine's at 8pm. They were very gracious and the hostess found us a table in about 10 minutes. Our waiter, Alex, was prompt, courteous and knowledgeable. As usual, the food was excellent. We ordered the Pad Thai, the Tom Yum soup, and Pad SE Ew. Everything came to the table piping hot. They also run specials when you check in on Yelp, so make sure you look for an offer. We ended up with the coconut ice cream. A fabulous way to end a really good meal.
(5)Kel L.
I can't add anything more than what 382 other reviewers have already said, but I must reminisce about my last visit: 1. HH is amazing! Oh the dialed in Thai flavors. How do they manage to make small plates with such unique flavors in each and every dish? The HH plates are smaller than the main menu, but ample enough to share. Who else does a 20 item HH menu of just Thai food, really good Thai food, no less? I've probably had everything on the HH menu and it's all wonderful. Great way to show off their culinary skills for the main event. 2. Fun cocktails, inventive and refreshing. 3. Service is usually pretty good to outstanding. 4. It is clean with nicely appointed décor 5. General restaurant food, is incredible, as well. They are the best in the area and you won't be disappointed whether it's Lunch, dinner or Happy Hour!
(5)Rose H.
Not the best Thai food I've had but definitely not the worst. They have two entrances- one for the bar and one for the actual restaurant. The bar was quite noisy. Our waitress only checked on us once and we were seated by the door- it was very cold. The food was good- not the best, but good. I liked their Thai iced tea and they had yummy ice cream. I don't know if we'll be back again. Did not seem worth the price.
(3)Chad B.
Happy hour here is pretty awesome. It gets a little busy, but the servers have been very gracious for all the running around they do. My family is gluten free and this was a friendly experience for us. It was easy to know which meals were available for us and the staff actually seems to know when we ask questions about ingredients. One of the great Thai restaurants in the area!
(5)Sean A.
WOW! WHAT FLAVORS! Thats the first thing that comes to mind when i think and speak about this place. Ive stopped in a few times for lunch with other from work and i always go away happy. This time in i was with just my wife. She LOVES Thai food. I on the other hand am not a big fan. I have to be in the mood, and it has always been hit and miss for me. Well this place is for sure a HIT. We had some cream cheese won tons that were perfectly cooked. Not overdone so they taste burnt, there are several places guilty of this. And the won tons were fresh. How can one tell? Ever had one that had a crunch, but was kind of chewy? Didnt break clean and crisp like a potato chip? Thats old won tons. My wife ordered the yellow curry with chicken, and i got a ginger chicken. Seriously, both were top notch. Lots of places do curry, and its easy to make, but not easy to do well. This had body, and a multitude of flavors that lots of places lack. You could taste the curry, and its not overwhelming. The coconut is there adding a creaminess to it. Honestly, when i think of a curry, this is what i think of and expect but rarely get. The ginger chicken was also a winner. Great flavor without overpowering, and had the right amount of spice. Had to take some home just to have it for lunch! We also got the mango sticky rice which is something we both love. And again, this place does a SMASHING job! The people are very nice. Service was excellent. Lord even the iced tea was super tasty. On a date night, i will gladly come here with the wife. I can see kids enjoying it here as well, but if they dont already like Thai flavors (which myne dont) , you would be better off at another place. But if you like Thai, GOOD Thai, you should be coming here.
(5)Kelshme A.
If I could give this place negative stars, it would be in the range of -10. We arrive at Thai bloom, order drinks had to re-request to get our drinks and waited 30 minutes for Thai iced teas. People were seated a half hour after us and we're served their food, ate it and left in the time it took us to still get nothing. We ordered soup as an appetizer, that took a half hour to come and it was freezing. By this point the table who are and left now had new people at it who had already gotten food!!!!! Our waitress would purposely avoid our table because she had no idea what was ever going on. We asked her several times where or food was and she said it would be right out. Time after time of asking our food was still not coming out. We asked other waitresses, the hostess and no one knew what was going on without food. After an hour of waiting we finally flagged down our waitress and said we just wanted our food to go. She said, ok it's ready I'll bring it right out. We waited another 15 minutes and she brought it out, but mentioned one of the meals STILL WASNT READY! We waited another 5 minutes got our food and got the hell out of there All in all this was the worst restaurant experience I've ever had and I will never go back.
(1)Izzat A.
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. The worst of times is that this was absolutely the slowest service I've ever gotten. Appetizer came out 50 minutes after I ordered it!!! Drinks were slow to be refilled. Just terrible service. The best of times is that this was by far the best drunken noodle that I have ever had. That's my go to dish whenever I try a new place out and this place did it perfectly. Great portions and very good spice to it. The food here is probably a 5 but the service was terrible so meeting in the middle and giving it three stars.
(3)Lauren C.
Still a favorite! We've now been back and are still loving Thai Bloom. The fried rice is something we've tried since our initial visit, and man is it good. The rice has incredible flavor, and is cooked to perfection along with a crispy variety of vegetables like bok choy, broccoli, carrots, cucumber, tomatoes, and your protein of choice. There are 3 in house made hot sauces to go along with meals. The chili paste sauce with the fried rice is just heaven. Makes my mouth sing with happiness. The "special" hot wings are still amazing, as well as the pot stickers. Along with the fried rice we have since tried the salad rolls. Oh my gosh, they are also shockingly good. Fresh ingredients, and just the right amount of everything in a flawless little roll. The Thai Peanut sauce that comes with the salad rolls is also perfection. We do something at Thai Bloom that we don't at most restaurants. That is only order apps, and a side dish. Thai Bloom does such an astoundingly good job with the basics like pot stickers and wings, we rarely make it to the main menu!
(5)Ruth N.
We ordered a mostly vegetarian meal: - vegetarian salad rolls - fried calamari - tom yom soup - thai iced tea - seasonal IPA - papaya salad - pumpkin curry - pad thai (tofu) - side of sticky rice - side of brown rice - coconut ice cream - fried banana dessert Great Pad Thai! The fried banana dessert was also very good, and unique. Friendly service, too. Would definitely come back.
(5)Amanda C.
Solid place for happy hour in the Beaverton area. Portions of food items are good. However their cocktails are very very weak - didn't seem like there was hardly any alcohol. One point of confusion - they have two entrances, one leading into the main dining area and the other for the bar. If you walk in the bar entrance, you must walk around to where the other door is to check in with the hostess before sitting. Didn't know this the first time and my friend and I just stood around waiting for someone to greet us.
(4)Jentry P.
This was my last day in Oregon and we were craving some Thai food. The ambiance of this place impressed me as soon as I walked the in. The Garlic Pork was pretty good, a little dry, but the flavor of the sauce is what made it special. Lastly the coconut ice cream was amazing. I suggest everyone try that! Way to cap off my last meal in Oregon!
(4)Laura C.
The Tom Ka kai soup was amazing. I wanted to bath in it. Curries were warming and creamy. cashew chicken good but light on chicken. Service was fantastic, attentive but not over bearing. The price was steep but we had a great meal.
(4)Chris O.
It gets crowded on the evening but with good reason, the food is excellent. I haven't ordered pad thai in years because it's usually terrible and full of ketchup, yuck, but here it was very very tasty and seemed to be sans ketchup. Te pad se ew was also very good as was the duck and well just about everything we had. We did have to wait about 25 mins for a party of four, so I suggest you expect that or make reservations.
(5)Laney D.
I ordered to go but I will definitely eat at the restaurant next time. The order took about 20 min. It was really busy when I came to pick up the food (Friday evening at 7pm). I ordered Panang curry with chicken and papaya salad with prawns. The curry was creamy and spiced just right. The papaya salad was pretty good. The prawns came with the salad on skewers (I've always had papaya salad with the shrimp mixed into the salad so this was different for me). Overall, the food was excellent! I will be coming back for sure!
(5)Kelsey E.
We've had delivery from here twice now, the first time was awesome, loved the food. Ordered the exact same thing (chicken pad Thai) but this second time it didn't taste like anything. I could taste the chicken and I could taste the noodles and the medium spice I asked for but not the pad Thai taste. We called and got the pad Thai taken off, so it was a pleasant experience. Was craving that pad Thai though. Update: they're sending new pad Thais over :) yay!! Thank you to the manager :D
(5)Mia S.
This place is INCREDIBLE! The always-lively restaurant is proof. Went there 2 times in one day even. I'm a former Typhoon lover and was so heartbroken when they closed! Thai Bloom is the result of the failed Typhoon, taking their kitchen and even a few wait staff members to create this new and improved version. But this place might even be better, if that's possible! Great chicken satay and Panang curry with beef. Not many Thai places provide sufficient beef in their curries, but this place nails if with quality and taste. A must-try!
(5)Edwin T.
Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free friendly deliciousness Thai food! If you fall in between those dietary categories, you won't be disappointed! The menu is set up so you can easily see the icons of what can be order vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free. Thai tea kicker with vanilla and alcohol was pretty good. The portions are pretty good, I always have left overs. Overall I have always had great service and food in this place.
(5)Faith G.
Delicious food! They have a great happy hour as well. I love to order a little bit of everything and they make it affordable! $3 for tom yum soup with a great amount of your choice of meat, $6 great portion of drunken noodles, and $5 for the oh-so-good beef salad! My only complaint is the service when it is busy (which is always during happy hour.) they also never fail to bring out plates one by one, leaving some at the table waiting and watching as others receive their plates--awkward! I had 1 bad experience while with my family and husband where we waited over 45 min for our dinner. But the food is so good... So we return :)
(5)Mike P.
This place was super busy, but they delivered great food! Everybody working here chipped in and made sure we were happy. I left happy and full. I strongly recommend this place.
(5)T A.
1.5 hours for deliver, AND "sometimes it's up to 2.5 hours". On what planet? Prime example of poor biz skills in a 2015 environment. Too bad because food is very good andcserbice has always been great as well. Perhaps a one-off last night.
(3)Krystal N.
I've dined in twice before and loved the food both times. This last time, I was in the area and ordered carry out during lunch time. I just got an order of pad thai, since my little kids were with me and sitting in seemed too much of a task. My toddler cant handle spicy so I ordered a regular pad thai with chili sauce on the side. When I went to pick it up after the lady told me it would be a 25 minute wait, I went in 20 minutes, the food was sitting there. The lady at the front desk was a bit short and not very friendly. She stated my total which was $8.95 , ran my card and walked off leaving the receipt on the counter to sign. ( oh and I should mention before walking off she stated your food is behind you on the counter sitting there) I thought she was going to come back to take the restaurant signed copy but she did not. I grabbed my food and quickly took a look at to verify. It looked ok but it was not very hot like it had been sitting there a while. When we got home the food was pretty cold by then and I live about 10 minutes away which was still not bad but when I tried it the flavor just tasted very overpowering of fish sauce. Also there was no chili sauce on the side. It was definitely not the best chicken pad thai I've had and there was a very strong bitterness about it I could not point out what. My toddler who usually loves pad thai did not like it at all, and kept complaining it tasted weird. Unfortunately this experience was not the best given the unfriendly staff, mediocre food, and forgetting the sauce on the side. Maybe their carry out is not the best choice for this place and its only worth it if you have time to sit in and dine. or since I haven't been here in over 6 months maybe the quality of food has gone down. I'm not sure which it is, either way I know I won't be back for a while. I loved when they were Typhoon by the way. Unfortunately this last experience fail to impress me.
(3)Suzi S.
Very happy to find a nice, clean, and delish Thai restaurant in Beaverton. I had a curry with shrimp that had nice flavors and a perfect amount of spicy for me over brown rice. The shrimp were a medium size with tails so kind of hard to eat. My husband and son shared the Pad Thai with chicken and beef noodle dish (he requested extra spice but could still have more) neither came spicy so ask for extra if you like spice! Overall a good find with a nice clean decor. We sat at the bar and the service was fine but they needed extra help as he was very busy making drinks for the restaurant which all looked really good. We will come back to check out happy hour!
(4)Elango K.
I had spicy chicken,Thai fried rice,pad thai and veg spring rool. Less oil in everything and taste very good, price is happy hour price. They are not spicy at all but I liked it lot. I have plan to visit again
(4)Snatchy B.
Thai Bloom is amazing! There are so few places in Beaverton that cater to vegan folk, so it's nice that it's easy to have different food restrictions than most. The tofu Pad See Ew is always amazing.
(5)Momi B.
This one is going to be tricky. We went there twice and the first time was 5 star worthy. The second time however...barely 3 stars. We feel the biggest difference was the service. I'm still looking for the receipt from our first visit to get the name of the server. She was terrific! Very professional, polite, knowledgeable, and attentive. She's a skinny dark haired lady with an accent. I wish I knew her name. :/ Anyway, she knew exactly what she was doing. The second time...ugh...our server's name was Chelsea. She had no concept of what vegan was (even though it's clearly on their menu). At one point we ordered the salad rolls vegan version and she seriously asked, "so prawns or tofu?" O.o Really? We also ordered the spinach wraps (which were sorely disappointing vegan or not) and she brought out this brown sauce which not only tasted like there was honey in it but possibly some kind of fish sauce. To top it off, that dish came out with some kind of shrimp on it. She took it back and they made another but did not replace the shrimp/prawns with anything. We should have been told that before we ordered it. Then we ordered the pineapple fried rice and was brought the Thai fried rice instead. We had not ordered either before so we had put some on our plates. When she was walking by I asked, "Isn't there supposed to be pineapple in this?" She said that we ordered the Thai fried rice. We told her we did not. She grabbed the fried rice and I asked if she wanted us to put back what was on our plates. She said it doesn't matter because they have to throw it away anyway! Yikes! She should have left the Thai fried rice and brought us the pineapple fried rice too. That would have been proper customer service...especially considering all the mistakes she was making beyond the fried rice. The icing was that she NEVER asked us how we were doing but asked other tables around us how they were doing. She was clearly upset with us for her mistakes. She either needs serious re-training or she needs to go work at McDonald's.

Great Thai food. We went with a big group and majority of people ordered and loved the drunken chicken noodles. Basil fried rice and green curry were also really good! You can adjust your spice level, so it caters to all tastes. We will be back for more awesome Thai food!
(5)Alise M.
Love the food, we've given up on eating in the restaurant... Calling ahead and picking up your order is best. The happy hour and bar area is nice if you get there before it fills up.
(3)Gabrielle T.
The food was actually good but I was not impressed with the service. We went there for Happy Hour and they forgot one of our items. After we inquired about it they said it would be right out that was 15 minutes later. They didn't even apologize for it.
(3)Irene S.
The food here is not my favorite, the only reason I come here so often is because my boyfriend loves the food here. It is a bit on the pricier end and I prefer to come for the happy hour. The drunken noodles are probably my favorite dish here.
(3)Rachel C.
An absolute favorite Thai eatery! And with a new location off NW 23rd, even more accessible throughout Portland! This is where I go when I want other delicacies beyond Pad Thai. The food is always fresh and impressive. Sundays happy hour is served all day long! They have fancy and tasty cocktails, but this is a hh to hit up for small plates. Here you can indulge in exotic variety. Inside is sophisticated yet very inviting for any occasion including an impromptu lunch. Service has always been very attentive and kind. They value and appreciate their customer's experience. Keep growing Thai Bloom, you're doing it right.

I could eat Thai food a couple times a week- okay probably more. I'm giving the Thai Bloom the A-OK for now, but I feel like I'm going to give it another shot and try it again soon. I am a noodle and spice lover, and the evening that we went I tried something different than my typical orders and was pretty underwhelmed. Service was friendly, but we counted and we had at least 3/4 people checking in on us, it seemed like there was a little confusion on who had our table. The place was busy though, lots of people coming in and some people ordering take out. The veggies I ordered were cooked well, where I thought my meat was tough and over cooked. Sauces were great though!
(3)Callum S.
Ordered Pad Thai with no peanuts, it came with peanuts. Thats not the annoying part, that happens all the time and isn't a big deal. What was annoying was it was a to go order, and when we phoned to get a new batch or refund we were told we were liars and asked to drive down and prove it. 10 mins of arguing later we eventually got a refund.

We had attended to other priorities in the area, and (at 2:15PM) it was well past time for lunch. Thai Bloom had been highly recommended in the past, and this was a fine opportunity to stop in! Timing favored us; the restaurant was relatively uncrowded. We were pleasantly greeted and promptly seated. I ordered the cashew chicken and fried rice. My wife ordered a stir fry chicken dish with brown rice. Neither of these were overpoweringly spicy; they were well seasoned and very well prepared, and we enjoyed every bite! Noise levels permitted conversation without competition from nearby tables. Our server was very attentive and professional. It was a fine luncheon experience, and we hope to return for dinner. I would recommend Thai Bloom for families, for small business lunches (parties of 2-4).
(4)Satya Abhishek N.
Best thai food ever. The grilled salmon with green curry is excellent. Spicy and cooked so well. Kudos. A slice of fresh coconut on the salmon is the best ever. The taste is so good. You will want more of that tender coconut.

****HAPPY HOUR REVIEW**** My first HH experience was awesome (thanks to a fantastic waitress). We came here to celebrate a co-workers going away party. I didn't know how many to expect so we started with a table of 6. Myself and another gal ordered first while waiting for others to show up. At one point, our table was full and the table next to ours was occupied. The waitress asked the customers next to us if they wouldn't mind moving to another table so everyone at our end could be together. The customers next to us didn't mind which made the transition really smooth. The waitress we had was super sweet, down to earth and awesomely friendly. I couldn't remember her name but she had short brown hair. The Happy Hour prices are pretty good considering the amount of food. I shared the following plates with a friend: - Chicken Larb Salad - good salad but a little too spicy. Next time I order this, I'll have to ask them to lessen the peppers. -Drunken Noodles w/chicken - you can never go wrong with this option. -Chicken Skewers (can't remember the name) - chicken has great flavor and it's super tender In addition, I had a fruit drink with fresh mangos (forgot the name too). Overall, the ambience and atmosphere was fun and relaxing. I definitely would return to try their other HH items.
(5)Tracy N.
Tri ed this place for HH a long time ago under old management and it was good. Went back today for lunch time. Was impressed with the service (can be seen as 5-10min slower than normal) during the busy lunch rush. Pad Thai with tofu did not have as much tofu in it although the amount of veggies was proportional. Display of the dish was part of what made it much more enjoyable. Try their roasted rice tea (can't remember the real name) if you're into tea. It has a unique flavor that is rather refreshing - can't describe. Best, most amazing homemade coconut icecream!!! Must try. Restaurant also has a bar side so could be a plus :) Great menu with identifying alternatives that could be made (gluten free, vegan, level of spicyness,etc.).
(4)Jennifer R.
Went on a Saturday night, about a 20 min wait for a table for four. Bar area was pretty noisy and we found ourselves shouting at each other. I got the crackling duck and it was AMAZING. Perfectly done and the sauce was a great blend of sweet and spicy. Ordered the coconut ice cream for dessert and was pleasantly surprised. It was very light and not overly sweet. We will be going there again soon.
(5)Angie B.
The whole meal was fabulous, from beginning to end. The staff was great .....we love the soup just the right amount of spice.
(5)Josh L.
Meh. Extremely expensive for what it is. Many better places for Thai in the area. In fact. One is practically next door.
(2)Lainey A.
I had heard great things about Thai Bloom and was really disappointed. We ordered takeout at my office (just three people) and were told it would be ready for pickup at 11:15. I arrived at 11:15 on the dot--food wasn't ready, but no problem, I'd rather it be hot anyway :). I stood and responded to some work emails. At around 11:25 I politely checked in with the hostess, who said it would be up any minute. Meanwhile a few other people with numbers after mine came in and picked up food. At 11:35 I was getting a little frustrated and again very politely checked in with the hostess, who told me it was the salad rolls we ordered which were taking so long. Huh? Keep in mind I placed the order at 10:45. Long story short, they didn't bring my food out until 11:45. I was about to tell the hostess to forget about it when they finally brought it out. The person who brought it to me pushed it into my hands and walked away, no apology. I was not offered any kind of discount or even really an apology for the wait. After all that the food was cold and really nothing special. Maybe I was just there on an off day, but I work in the customer service industry--when mistakes happen, we do everything to make it right with the customer, and they didn't even really seem to care. With so many other Thai options in the area, we will not be back.
(2)Steve L.
Love going here on Sunday for their all day happy hour prices. Good food and good times. And the free home made ice cream is icing on the cake!
(5)Evelyn S.
Maybe I should have paid more attention when people told me that Thai Bloom is really good for the Westside. Or maybe I just am too much of an Eastside girl to appreciate this dining experience. We arrived a few minutes before 7 pm without a reservation. We were seated in about 5 minutes which was terrific, sadly we were seated at what can only be described as the worst table in the house. I think they could rectify the table problems easily, just by placing a tall potted plant between the waiting area and the table that is closest to the door and directly next to the bus station. The staff are all super nice and attentive without going overboard. They all seemed to genuinely like working there and with the diners. The décor is Beaverton Modern Thai. Clean, neat and sort of on the boring side. The menu is extensive. Everything sounds like it will taste wonderful. The presentation is lovely. For appetizers we enjoyed the spring rolls with prawns and the calamari. Both were tasty. The spring rolls could have benefited from a little less noodle and a little more greens. I described them to my dining companion as delicate, she agreed. The calamari were lightly coated and fried, there were no tentacles in sight. The dipping sauces were quite good for both dishes. My friend enjoyed her special Crab Pad Thai. I ordered a salad with prawns that had too much dressing. Wow, it was sopping, coated, just completely drowned in dressing. It was a bit difficult to enjoy even though the ingredients were all fresh and tasty. I would return if a friend invited me, but otherwise can't imagine suggesting it myself.
(3)Matthew S.
Awesome food we have made this place a go-to spot for us given the consistently great food, service, and willingness to accommodate vegetarian diets!
(5)Sophia T.
The food and drinks are amazing. It tends to always be busy though so if you are looking for a quick meal this is not the place to eat but if you have the time and want tasty Thai food it's great.
(4)Jessica S.
So i went to thai bloom because i wanna try different thai resto around beaverton! Well good reviews and so we tried! We liked the place! Big and roomy! Nice and friendly waiters! So i tried chicken tom yum well it looks yummy And i like the clear soup. Taste is good but it can be better! No strong lime flavour and basically just few pieces chicken and cherry tomatoes. Main dishes came out! Pad ped mu and green curry Honestly i was shocked bout my pad ped! It was so plain and little for 15 dollars. Taste? Just like soy sauce stir fry! No authentic thai flavours at all. I was really dissapointed about my orders. Green curry is average! But my friends liked it because there was a coconut in the curry! I think it is better than my pad ped! Good thing? My friend said the food quality is good and well cooked! He liked the mushroom so much! I dont think i will come back here because it is too pricey
(3)Landon N.
Really enjoyed this place. Surprisingly packed on a Thursday night. Great bar on one side and dining on the other. Great that I was able to enjoy an extremely filling dinner as well as watch the NBA finals. Redeemed my free coconut dessert to top off the night. Next time I'm craving quality Thai in Beaverton I'm not thinking twice.
(5)Genesis M.
I tried this place out yesterday with my friend. It was very tasty. First time trying Thai food, I will be definitely be going back to try other dishes. I had the drunken noodles , my friend had the yellow curry (vegan style), we would definitely recommend this place. Their juries are amazing they taste so natural. And the staff is really nice plus the dish work is gotgeous! :)
(4)Amy B.
Great food. That's the only reason they get two stars. HORRIBLE service. I mean, terrible. I've been to this location several times. I waited 15 min for anyone to come to my table. Meanwhile, I saw servers going to tables multiple times who had arrived AFTER me. Second, I was charged 6.99 for a well rum and thai iced tea. Really????????? I understand it was thai tea but that's the mixer. When you create a mix, it should be a "built drink"... meaning you have less mixer than if you just ordered that plain. If I ordered a rum and coke I guess it would be $6? Terrible. No one apologized for the extreme wait or being ignored beyond what was reasonable. It seemed the servers were running back and forth but doing nothing.
(2)Robert G.
Best of all is check in and get one free item. Bring a friend with their yelp Place is not busy Sunday at 2;44 pm. Chicken wings are amazing. I ordered the crab pad thai and did not like it. The drunken noodles are delicious. My friend went hell crazy over the pineapple curry. I liked it but I was scared watching him eat it. I ordered the coconut vodka, fresh lime juice cocktail special and it was delicious enough to go buy the ingredients and serve it at home. Great place. Highly recommend it.
(5)Amy B.
I love finding great places to dine in the burbs. Thai Bloom has great food and a great space. Up front is very modern, even Portlandia style. In the back its much more like a plain dining room, but the tables are so spread out it's a great place for a lunch meeting or just being with friends without feeling like you are sitting right on top of your neighbors. I ordered the Pad Se Ew and it was a large serving and was really good. I will definitely be back. Also I checked in with Yelp and got a free Coconut ice cream. I am not a huge fan of ice cream, but thought I would at least try it. This was so good I ate the whole thing. Great lunch spot.
(5)Samantha M.
Great happy hour. Food is affordable and delicious. Good location and a good amount of seating.
(5)Gillian W.
I was pretty sure I reviewed this place, I think I reviewed it when it was Thai Derm, but I'll review it again- it is in fact a different business. I have only been there for a few times but the food is amazing! Not your run of the mill Thai food. The chef is excellent which is represented in the food. So delicious and enticing. The most interesting thing of course was this place gaining a FULL bar, they have an awesome HH which I had the fortune to partake in last night. I highly recommend. The food they have for HH is just right, good choices and just enough the wet the palate! Definitely going to get on some HH here before the summer end!
(4)Nadius M.
Service was slow today usually I don't have wait this long ... I hate a watch our food sit on the counter waiting to be brought out to our table .. :( otherwise food was good..
(3)Krysta S.
Thai bloom was recommended by a friend and living on the west side of town where the selection of good restaurants isn't as plentiful we had to try. The happy hour is great and all Sunday is happy hour. Between two of us we had 5 dishes and four glasses of wine and it came to just under $30! The tom kah soup is fabulous and when poured over their jasmine rice... Omg. The atmosphere is nice and makes it feel like you're not in to he suburbs. I can't, however, say it's the best thai food I've ever had bet a definite solid choice. The only other negative is the bathroom temperature. Ever time I've gone it is comparable to a sauna in there... Not sure why but definitely uncomfortable.
(4)Angela N.
I've been here about 3 times now because the food is so good and I plan to go again!. Low points would be that the seating is hard and uncomfortable, prices are a bit high.
(4)Stephanie M.
The waitress was AWFUL. She was passive aggressive, short and rude. She would correct us when ordering and make snide comments. She treated my friend and I like children who have never eaten out at a restaurant before. She was a poor communicator, it took us five minutes to explain to her we were ready to order, and when I ordered three happy hour items she said "oh but you're already getting these two things"...ummm excuse me I am building your bill. I loved all the food to bad the service SUCKED. And as a server I cringed the entire time talking to her for being such a unbearable waitress. She needs a job outside of customer service because I will not go back because of her.
(1)Beka M.
This is a gem of a Thai restaurant. Location: okay, it's way out there in Beaverton - on Cedar Hills Blvd at Westgate, in a little brick strip mall across from the BMW dealer. It is way better than the dozen Thai restaurants I've tried in central Portland though so it's worth the trip. Ambiance: This is the other reason (besides the food) that this place gets and deserves high ratings. It doesn't feel like a dive in fact the opposite. There is tons of parking, a nice central bar and plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. The place is clean and the wait staff are very friendly. 5 stars for all this. Menu: The menu is refreshingly varied and unlike the standard list of classic dishes you see everywhere else. For this alone it is special. But they also have original dishes made with seasonal ingredients and more fresh vegetables. They have a number of salads you will not find anywhere else. They have a seasonal menu (spring-summer or fall-winter) and they have a happy hour menu. The menu uses a symbol system for the hot factor, and the food is on the mild side. I(f you are looking for very hot Thai food, go to Baan Thai in downtown Portland.) Food Rating: I give the food 4 1/2 stars. We got a 'summer special' tempura asparagus salad that was spectacular. . Nicely trimmed dark greens, pulled chicken, shrimp and the melt in your mouth tempura asparagus. All perfectly dressed with a fresh and mildly spicy dressing. The waterfall steak salad was also excellent - tender spicy hot beef w fresh scallions over large romaine leaves. This one is Paleo perfect! The Tom Kha soup was flavorful with lots of green beans, mushrooms, etc. but the coconut was too thick and rich and it was missing the tartness of lime and lemongrass. This was the only real disappointment. The crab pad thai was sublime. The generous crab was lightly breaded and grilled I think - fresh and still hot. The egg also was not overcooked, still tender. The chicken was excellent quality, not dry. It was clearly just made for us. We look forward to going again soon and I may update the food info. If you don't live there, find an excuse to go to Beaverton and try this place. Just don't do it during rush hour.
(4)Josie M.
Great food awful customer service! Their has been two times they forgot my drink. Today it also took a woman 10 minutes to take my delivery ignoring me and talking to someone else in the background. All I can say is rude...
(3)Echota K.
We love this restaurant. Firstly, we love Thai food, but you know how tricky it can be to find just the RIGHT restaurant that makes food you like. We have several food allergies, too, which make eating at most restaurants pretty much out of the question. (corn, gluten, msg, dairy) But we can eat here! You can let them know what your food allergies are, and their menu even already says which items are specifically gluten-free, which is awesome. The food is fresh, delicious, and the portions are abundant. The staff is completely accommodating and always has friendly smiles. One thing to note: if you have children in your party, because the food is fresh, it DOES take awhile to make. not a big deal if you're adults, because you can wait, but with hungry kiddos, it can be tricky. Just plan accordingly, because the food is worth the wait for the rest of us. Even my impatient 8-year-old thinks so - this is his favourite Thai restaurant, and he is the one who requests we go there most of the times we go.
(4)Maggie L.
Came here based on the rave reviews. A bit of wait on a Sat night for a table of 2. Long lineup for bigger parties without reservation (30min wait). Parking is ample. Has a big LCD screen showcasing their dishes right at the restaurant's entrance waiting area; a rather smart biz tactic as ppl are more willing to try new food when they know how it looks like. May be that is how they draw ppl to the restaurant despite the food is just a-ok by Portland standards. Food: A-ok. Ordered Papaya salad and Pad Kee Mao. Both were tasty but had no special kick. Didn't wow us. Portion is on the big side; great for sharing. Not enough basil in the Kee Mao to enhance the dish aroma. The salad used too much fish sauce and didn't quite balance out the palm sugar, so it ended up being a bit too salty. The fried bananas dessert was disappointing; its batter coating was so thick and over fried, and it pitifully came with only 4 short strips of fried bananas - each split in half - that is only 1 whole banana was being used in the making of this dish. Given bananas are relatively cheap, why cannot they put more in as supposed to cheat & fill the plate up with fried coconuts - which was not even part of the dish description. If we didn't have the cup of free coconut ice-cream from checking-in on Yelp, we wouldn't be able to chew any of these down. Atmosphere: Clean & decent. Good for groups. Lot families visited when we were there. Service: Slow in general, but consider it was a Sat night full house, it is considered acceptable. Price: Comparable to other thai places in town. Verdict: Had better Thai else there. Don't know what the rave is all about.
(3)Janet M.
Picked up our CSA share and looked at all the veggies that needed preparing. It made me tired. Hmm. Lets go out for Thai! Previously Thai Bloom had contacted me through Yelp and asked me to come in and try them I didn't like that so I held out for a long time. Hubby reminds me that I don't get to be anonymous on here because its public. I should get over myself. So we went. The verdict? 3.5. Maybe 3.75. Just shy of a 4 for us. The restaurant inside is beautiful. Far nicer than it was when it was Thai Derm. The service was efficient and reserved. It felt a little formal. The dishes were pretty to look at. This is what we ordered: Seafood cream cheese wonton.( crunchy with tamarind sauce) Panang curry with chicken.( nice veggies tasty curry) Bbq pork with egg noodles.( pork, egg noodles, two steamed shrimp dumplings,a crispy wonton, some greens, a scatter of crushed red pepper all in a clump) Pineapple fried rice with tofu. ( not much rice, oodles of veggies and pineapple) Chicken satay with cucumber salad and steamed white rice for Princess. ( all very nice, cucumber salad large and delicious) Raspberry lemon drop (2, these were perfect and delicious) Pineapple express (booze and fruit juices) Thai iced tea (2, Princess inhaled hers) Total $80 This was a fairly expensive dinner and yes we had beverages and an appetizer, but the entrees were a tad more than our usual two Thai places. Really its a lovely place for a meal and the food was tasty. I think maybe we like our Thai a little less formal. But try it! They have outside tables and a sweet bar, too.
(4)Brittany L.
Really good happy hour. Tom yum soup was soon good. There food is awesome!!! Really good prices.
(4)Duane P.
I finally got to try out Thai Bloom. It looks to be one of the better places to have Thai food in Beaverton where I work. I thought I would have another version of Kao Soi. It is a Northern Thai based dish. I had a great version at Mee Dee but it was a little too rich with coconut milk. Thai Bloom's wasn't as rich with a little more sour to it. I liked it but one qualm I had is I wish they would have thinner slices of the red onion in it. It is a very filling dish for those who haven't had it. It is must have. I also had the handmade coconut ice cream which is free with checking in on Yelp. It was also excellent. I see why the food along with the service gets it's 4.25 overall rating on Yelp.
(4)Valerie W.
Really enjoyed Happy Hour here. The portions were good and the prices even better. I sat immediately at the bar and noticed that it was indeed pretty crowded. Was nice to see they had a TV to watch the game on. Service was a touch slow as they seemed to have forgotten or just taken extra long to come out with my order of food. ORDER: Thai kicker drink - not overly sweet like a normal thai iced tea. Good blend with the vanilla vodka. Spicy basil chicken - good sized portion for HH. Plenty of green beans, peppers, basil, and chopped chicken. Overall was pretty good and not overly spicy. Tom Yum Soup - ordered the veggie version and didn't realize it came with huge chunks of tofu (should have asked). The soup was the highlight. Very flavorful broth. Tofu was so big though that it took up a lot of space in the small cup and therefore didn't get much actual soup. Coconut ice cream - Got the yelp check in deal. Was a small scoop of the ice cream with chocolate sauce and nuts. Quite good if you ask me. It was normally $4.95 on the menu...didn't seem like a big portion if that's the cost unless it was small just for the free deal. No biggie. Would recommend this place most definitely. Great Thai food for the area. Reasonable prices. They even let me take my HH food home which many places don't allow.
(4)martin b.
The food here is very good, but the call in and takeout times vary substantially. We waited over an hour last night for our takeout, which was promised in 20 minutes! Our meal last night overall was quite good: Garlic chicken 8/10 Drunken noodles 8/10 Pineapple curry 6/10 (way too salty, even for curry).
(3)Shikha C.
A Thai place that I am looking forward to visit again! Happy hour was a happy surprise for us! They have enough vegan options. Liked Tom Kha Soup ,Pad Thai and Spring Rolls. I highly recommend their Yellow Curry.Portion is good enough for two.We ended with coconut ice-cream which was yumm and had fresh strawberries on top. Very nice, quiet place and our server was very warm and helpful(best service in a Thai Restaurant so far). I will go again for their food and service!!
(4)Nicole T.
5 stars for service but the reason I gave this place 3 was because it was not authentic Thai nor spicy. In fact it was so opposite of spicy that it was sweet and we ordered it extra spicy with a side of fresh Thai chili from the back...still not spicy enough. They definitely cater to the American tastebuds. I ordered the Massaman Beef Curry, the ingredients were fresh and the quality of beef was great but it lacked in spice BIG TIME. My boyfriend ordered the Basil Chicken which he ordered extra spicy as well and though the ingredients were fresh it lacked flavor and again Spiciness. We also ordered the Papaya Salad and that was probably the sweetest I've ever had it, we actually asked them to remake it spicy like we had ordered it but still came back non spicy. I've worked in a Thai kitchen, one of my best friend is Thai and my boyfriend is Cambodian so maybe I just have high standards for Thai food...which is my favorite by the way. Sadly we will not be returning and our search for BOMB Thai continues!
(3)Pahnou V.
Food is soo good here and waiters are so nice GREAT place prices are decent this has to be my new favorite thai food now
(5)Tracy H.
Thai Bloom is a newer, authentic Thai restaurant in Beaverton. I understand that the Owner and some of the staff started it when Typhoon closed its doors. Their dishes are more traditional and authentic than most of the other Thai spots I have tried in town. The servers are friendly and helpful. I recommend the Panang Curry, Spicy Chicken Basil, and Lao-style Papaya Salad. You will not be disappointed!
(4)Suyash K.
Food is pretty good and so is the wine. The menu is a little short so you don't get a very vast choice. But the taste covers up for this. Service is a little on the slower side - so if you have ample time, ho ahead without any second thoughts. I felt that the furniture needs to be maintained a bit too - like shaved edges of tables etc. On the whole, an average place with awesome food. I'd go again just for the taste.
(4)Raj R.
With the variety of choices available for Thai Food, this place is worth a visit. Friendly staff and nice ambience. The only downside is the time it took for the food to arrive. I would recommend calling ahead of time to place your order. We have been doing this recently and enjoying a delicious lunch in less than an hour. Every item on their menu is tasty. Decent happy hour options as well.
(4)Janine H.
The service was a little slow when we went but it was during peak dinner hour. The staff was nice and the food was really good. Would Come back.
(4)Lisa H.
Best Thai Food in Beaverton area I am from Thailand and food is here pretty authentic. My husband and I eat here once a week. Service is very slow so you have to order right away if you have an hour for lunch.
(3)Debbie B.
OMG, I love this place. Just moved from CA Bay Area and was craving Thai food...are you kidding me?!?!?! The way they prepare their food is amazing. Nothing greasy; vegetables cooked well; yet to have a bad meal (LOVE the leftovers). Not familiar with the area, I had delivery (3-4 times so far). Delivery pricey to Tigard, but WHO CARES! I can never get enough of the "Bloomin' Fish"! Coming from the SF area, I've had panko fried Halibut (hmm), but theirs is AMAZING. Crispy on the outside; tender on the inside (isn't that a KFC phrase). I raved about this place so much that my beloved Oregonian friends (meticulous eaters) decided to try it. We actually went to the restaurant and THEY LOVED IT (shocker). I could go on and on about Thai Bloom (love the fried calamari; tofu; salad rolls; even a plain salad), but we all have our taste-buds loves, but try this place @ least once...guarantee you'll find something you love/like it. P.S. I usually don't ramble this much in reviews. :o)
(5)Nikk G.
This place was super good. Good size portions and a nice upscale Thai feel. I love they they had a bunch of non traditional dishes. I tend to get bored with places when they all have the same content on the menu.
(4)Shaheeen S.
Happy hour is great! Their thai iced tea is amazing, second to a thai basil in downtown Portland!
(4)Daniel G.
Went during happy hour. We ordered four dishes and only one was decent. They use some weird seasoning on the pad thai and fried wings so it smells and tastes funky. The spinach dip is runny and they use cheap tortilla chips to boot. Bar tender was young and inexperienced. I usually dont write bad reviews but i was pretty disappointed w these guys. Proceed w caution.
(2)Chris J.
Nice clean good restaurant. Some dishes are very good (5 stars) but some are just 2 stars. 5 stars dishes are like Masamarn beef, it takes a long time to cook this and Thai bloom did do the diligent. However, the duck dishes are disappointed, old, overnight, chewy duck on salad and others, to charge a premium price? Some good dishes disappeared - probably take more effort to make so they want to just retain easier, less time consuming and high profit dish. I hope they keep their effort in this instead of expanding so fast and lost the originality. A little pricier for the portion and type of food!
(3)Y B.
This is not authentic. Not sure what the other reviews ate, but this is not very good.
(2)stacy n.
This place is also good for having a snack in happy hour. paid 2.99 for wine 5.99 for main dish. I love it.
(5)Linda H.
This place is one of my favorite Thai places in Beaverton. My favorite item here is the Tom Yum Noodles, but I order it "dry" so it's not brothy but instead has a concentrated flavor. I also really like the Spicy Basil Chicken as it has the perfect amount of spice, crispy basil leaves, and juicy chicken. The pineapple curry is also quite good but be sure to order something savory along with it as it can be quite sweet on it's own. Don't forget to check in to get their free homemade coconut ice cream. It's refreshing and delicious. There's usually a wait to get seated and the food can take longer than usual to come out as they're usually quite busy. Addition: some other awesome dishes I've tried... - Tom yum soup with prawns - miang kham: great flavorful appetizer - crab fried rice - drunken fish - papaya salad Lao style
(5)Armando O.
Prices were ok if not good. Food was soso.. Curry was not what I expected. Very dry dish. The flavor was pretty good but the consistency of the dish was not. Drinks were good.. Service was really good

Food was alright, nothing too crazy. If you have ever been to Eugene or went to UO, it's an upgrade from Tasty Thai. Service was super slow. We sat at the bar so maybe it might be better if we sat a table. The bartender wasn't too attentive to us but the bar back was really nice. There are definitely better Thai places out there.

My favorite place for happy hours in Beaverton and dog friendly too!! The staff treat Butters (my Pembroke corgi) like a special guest whenever I bring him along. The patio has umbrellas to protect us from the sun. And the staff are very attentive and always give us last call for happy hours. The food is spectacular. I love the fact that it's actually spicy for some dishes because I love spicy food. Tum yum soup is my favorite, but my friends love the tum kha soup more. To each their own. There's so many options. You can definitely find something you like here. I highly recommend this place.

Delicious. Visited on Sunday with my wife and 2-year-old. Ordered from the happy hour menu (happy hour all day on sunday). The place was busy, but the food still came within half hour. The crowd was eclectic. Many races and ages. Families, dates, friends. We ordered seaweed salad spicy chicken wings pad thai with chicken papaya salad beef salad a draft beer I've had take-out from thai bloom before a few times and it was okay. But the food today, in house, was delicious. The pad thai noodles were perfectly cooked. The sauce was not sweet. The chicken tasted grilled. My daughter and wife loved the seaweed salad. Not fishy at all. The beef was flavorful. My wife said it was too tough, but I thought it was not. She liked the wings. There was a high-chair for my baby. The entire meal was $25. Felt like a great deal. In the future I will try harder to not sit where my toddler can see the TV in the bar area, but you need to sit in the bar area to order from the happy hour menu.

Outstanding! The Crab Pad Thai was covered in crab meat and was a nice, fresh variation on the usual, the Ginger Ribs were meaty and flavorful, as were the Chicken Satay Skewers, and the Papaya Salad was beautifully presented and perfectly seasoned. What more could you ask for? Next I'll be back to try the Happy Hour Menu, with its small plates of all of the other things I wanted to try!
(5)McKenzie D.
By far the best Thai food in the area. The papaya salad, drunken noodles, Pad Thai, pineapple curry, and cashew chicken are all great dishes. The high quality food here makes it hard to eat Thai from anywhere else. Definitely recommend!!!
(5)Martin F.
Thai food as art - these guys do it well. I like the food, although it wouldn't be on the top 5 Thai places in the area, it is certainly very tasty. The setting is very classy - and the presentation was very well done. I went for my standard Panang Curry - I liked it - I asked for it hot and I felt like it was lacking in heat but still good. My friend tried the Pad See Ew with chicken and really enjoyed it. The service is prompt and friendly, very knowledgeable about their extensive menu. If you're looking for an upscale, classy dining experience with some tasty options, I would recommend this place quickly. For a more casual, less expensive option, you might want to keep looking. It was certainly good enough for me to go back again another time and see if I missed something. The menu is so extensive I feel like I should go away from my standards and give them another chance to wow me. I have a hunch I wouldn't be disappointed.

I don't ever find myself in Beaverton, and that's decidedly on purpose. I don't do well in Suburbia; all the malls and chains look the same to me. But in recent years, Beaverton has yielded some pretty sweet Asian eateries by word of mouth from the Portland foodies. It's not uncommon to hear material such as: "oh, our favorite sushi place is definitely in Hillsboro". Or "the only place we eat Thai is at this place in Beaverton, off of Cedar Hills." When they say that, they're talking about Thai Bloom. I was pleasantly surprised by this place! It's not in a strip mall, and it's what I'd loosely call "upscale Thai dining". It's obvious the owners have put a lot of thought and care into curating the restaurant's every detail. Nice linen napkins, low lighting, and a very inviting dining room that'd be perfect for either a date OR a nice family dinner. There's not very many places that can claim both of those atmospheres! Everything we had was delicious; I can't even pick out the "highlights". Pork and ginger potstickers? Heavy on the ginger and downright delicious. Chicken lettuce cups? NOT dripping with excessive fish sauce (like!), and super crunchy and tasty. A pumpkin curry as a winter seasonal offering? You bet your ass I ordered that. Ill be back to sample their other traditional Thai dishes. I just can't turn down a pumpkin curry. It's one of those things where if it's on the menu, anywhere, ill order it regardless. Thai Bloom, why are you all the way in Beaverton? Sigh. Ill just have to make the trek. This could be my new fave Thai food crush.
(5)Christina C.
Delicious Thai food!!! We found this place on yelp and the reviews did not disappoint. I have celiac disease and have to eat gluten free...there are a TON of gluten free options here! Everything is clearly marked on the regular menu. I've never gotten sick after eating here. Must try if you love Thai food!
(5)Dan C.
Great food, GF options are great!, service and prices are good too. Thankfully I live near them, my go-to Thai joint
(5)Andrew B.
Pretty much as good as it gets in thai restaurants. The food doesn't really travel well though.
(5)Jessica N.
My review is purely based on the happy hour - One word = Amazing. ESPECIALLY for Sunday when it was ALL-DAY-LONG. OH YEAH! Menu includes an array of food ranging between $2-6 and drinks between $3-5. The food was delicious and they don't skimp on sizes. We ordered: - Chicken pad thai - Pork drunken noodles - Tom kha soup - Beef salad Chicken pad thai was good, but wasn't extraordinarily different from any other pad thai I've had. Pork drunken noodles were decent, but I felt that the noodles were overly soft. Tom kha soup was a bit too thick for my liking and the chicken was dry. However, the beef salad was the star of our meal! They open at 11a on Sunday. Park on the West side of the building to be closer to the bar entrance as happy hour is only served there.
(4)Andy W.
This is a really nice place. Their chicken red curry was really awesome, however their pai thai was bland and the tofu was not properly fried. I was also not a fan of their wonton soup which I also found to be pretty bland. Overall the food was ok
(3)Chuck G.
Deja vu, that unexplainable feeling that somehow you've been here before... or seen this menu and eaten these drunken noodles before. Yes, Typhoon has been reincarnated as Thai Bloom... without the slave-labor in the kitchen we assume. It's not the same ownership; they fled the country. But it is the same water glasses and, more importantly, some of the same cooks... presumably those in the country legally... or at least willfully. Typhoon was a favorite of mine and any of my friends. We were shocked, outraged when the behind-the-scenes goings-on were revealed. But, we were also, selfishly, sad to loose that great food. So, we were delighted to visit Thai Bloom and find so many of our old favorites faithfully recreated. My personal Typhoon favorite was Drunken Noodles with Beef and Mushrooms. I rationed myself allowing myself to have it only every-other time. Well, I can't remember where I was in that regime, so I decided to allow myself to begin anew. The Drunken Noodles was perfect... but the mushrooms -- while good -- fell short if Typhoon's high standards. In their defense, the mushroom option was not on the menu and the waiter agreed to do it specially for me. In that light, it was very good. Lunch prices are about $10. The service is good. And the big windows make the dining room light and airy, a welcome change from Typhoon's dark decor. So, if you liked Typhoon, if you like good Thai-style food, head to Thai Bloom!

****happy hour**** Snap thai happy hour with lots of delicious things on the menu! You can't go wrong here. Good was delicious.and service was exceptional. Come try it out !
(4)Meagan B.
We went for happy hour and were promptly seated, even though the place was packed. We ordered the orange spare ribs, calamari, veggie spring rolls, fried rice, and edamame. The Thai tea cocktail I ordered had more liquor than not, and was delicious. We got all of this for less than $30. The food was authentic tasting but with a modern spin and it came out quick and hot. We will definitely be back.
(5)Melissa D.
This is a well-deserved lengthy review: My fiancé and I loved our first experience here, and we remembered this place had a great happy hour menu. We looked on Yelp beforehand to find the happy hour times, which is listed for Monday from 4-9pm. As soon as we walked into the bar the waiter, who happened to be our same waiter from last time, kindly greeted us. We told him we were excited to try their happy hour, and that's when the awful news came. He nicely explained that happy hour had just ended, and would begin once again at 8. Unfortunately their happy hour was misstated on Yelp as their actual hours of operation of 4-9pm, not the happy hour of 4-6p & 8- Close. We walked in at 6:08pm. And we had just left a nearby restaurant upon remembering that this place had a great happy hour. I showed our waiter the yelp page, which clearly stated that happy hour was indeed happening at that very moment. I was extremely disappointed. He asked us to wait a moment while he went into the kitchen; upon returning he said he could honor the happy hour menu for us! We couldn't have been more grateful. Especially since I would've without a doubt, left to find happy hour somewhere else if our only option was the full priced menu. I told my fiancé that I wondered if our waiter remembered us from our last visit, but he didn't think so. A few minutes later, our waiter returned and said, "You guys were here a couple weeks ago, it was a Wednesday, and you were sitting right over there right?" (and pointed to the table) I was VERY impressed with his recollection, especially since the bar was totally packed that night. We ordered four items on the happy hour menu and a drink altogether for only $24. The portion sizes were much larger than we anticipated. Our waiter grabbed our half eaten plates after confirming we were finished, and I assumed he was throwing them away since a vast majority of happy hours don't allow you to take to-go boxes. I was shocked when he came back with our food boxed, bagged, and ready to go. From the time we walked in, to the moment we walked out, we were treated so well, I couldn't complain if I tried. There's also a large flat screen directly in front of the bar, which is always playing football. Being that Beaverton lacks respectable late night food, we have unquestionably found our new regular happy hour spot, especially during Monday night football. LOVE IT!
(5)Jim L.
Typhoon is back! Yah, love this place. It is pretty much EXACTLY the same menu, same chefs, etc. as Typhoon used to be. For those of us who absolutely LOVED Typhoon, you'll love this. All the same. Just basically changed company name. For those of you who haven't been here, WOW! You're missing out. Most amazing food in Beaverton. Plus, they deliver to all over in Beaverton for a really great price!!! Although they only have limited number of drivers so sometimes they can't do a delivery for a long time. Call early in the evening if you want delivery. Anyway, our family's favs are Drunken Noodles (amazing here!!!!), Salad Rolls (better than anyone else!), Tum Yung Gung soup (shrimp. Crazy spicy but you won't care, because it tastes so good!), and Pad Thai Noodles. Crying Tiger is also good. Oh! And if you like the more mild stuff, you can't ever go wrong with the Pinapple Curry!!!!! That stuff rocks! But it's pretty mild. Everything here is amazing. Gourmet Thai food at great prices.
(5)Vienia H.
One of the best Thai restaurants in town! Recently moved from LA, I was in the hunt for good and authentic Thai foods. After 1 year of searching I found this restaurant. Search is over!! Of course it'll never compared to Thai goods in LA.
(4)Mona B.
I'd driven by this place many times, but never tried it until yesterday. Went with a couple of coworkers for lunch who were gushing about how awesome the food is here. Lunch hour perhaps isn't the best time to come to this place - the wait (for someone to show up to take the order, for someone to refill our water, for our food to come out and for our bill to come out) was just... yeah, so I have to deduct a star. I ordered a boat noodle and both my coworkers drunken noodles and one coworker also ordered a tom kah soup as well(she figured the soup will come out before the food as she was starving, she told us). We sat around for 15min before our waiter showed up to take our orders, then another 20-25 min for our food to show up. Our waiter who wrote down our orders didn't bring the soup my coworker ordered - then when she asked him about the soup (when we finally got our food), he sounded surprised. My coworkers were very happy with their food, but I found the boat noodle to be incredibly salty and very greasy. More than anything, the service was disappointing (thus deducting another star). Perhaps I'll go back when it's not lunch time and give them another try.
(3)Lalitha K.
Good ambiance and tasty food. I loved the veggie spring rolls and my all time favorite coconut ice cream with nuts on it :)
(4)Roxanne B.
I've only ever been here for happy hour, many times. If you check in with Yelp on your phone here, you can get a free coconut ice cream! As someone who has been to Thailand many times, the food is quite authentic, and they have a great cocktail list too. I will be back!
(4)shalana u.
Excellent!! The calamari was still in good condition despite i went for delivery. The food was great! I will be ordering again!
(5)Joshua M.
People were nice and everything, but the food was mediocre at best. It's not bad, just not as good as some places. Had the pad Thai and it was kind of flavorless in my opinion. The dishes are all presented well, but for me I'm looking for flavor.
(3)Brian K.
Excellent service and food! We had the spinach leaves with toasted coconut, peanuts, lime, ginger, shrimp as an appetizer and it was delicious. Pineapple pork curry was absolutely perfect as well. Thai ice tea - phenomenal.
(5)Heather B.
Great Service. Great food. Great cocktails. Love the all ages happy hour. Nice to have a place to get a good drink and dinner as a family. ;-)
(5)Brian C.
The food is excellent and their happy hour prices are pretty hard to beat! I haven't sampled much from the main menu, I usually just go in for happy hour, but if those dishes are any indication of what to expect then I need to go in for more!
(4)John D.
Great food, good service. Sat at he bar because it was crazy busy on a Sunday night. Had a vegetarian colleague with me and he loved the food. I can't vouch for the authenticity, but I enjoyed it all. If you travel on business, yelp is a godsend. Another great meal, thanks Yelp!
(5)McKenna P.
This is my go-to place for happy hour. Great deals, amazing food, and delicious cocktails. The service can be slow at times, but the workers are always friendly. My favorite things on the happy hour menu are the veggie spring rolls, fried calamari, and the Thai Tea Kicker. Those are definitely must-try items. On the regular dinner menu, they have a great selection of curry. It's more spendy, but it's completely worth the price. The atmosphere is very laid-back, and I have never felt like the workers are trying to rush me out of the restaurant, even if I spend a while in there chatting with my friends. I would highly recommend this for a night out with friends-- there are so many delicious things to choose from!
(5)Andrew D.
Thai Bloom is different, when compared to Thai Roses and other places. You have the choice of a quiet area or a loud area, both are quite nice. I would say the atmosphere and food are definitive and tasty. If you like Thai food, then you should give this place a try. You might be pleasantly surprised.
(5)Greg B.
Great happy hour and great food. Favorite Thai in the 'burbs by far.
(4)Yvette E.
Best thai restaurant in beaverton!! I've had almost everything on the menu and it is always delicious and well made!! They deliver as well which is fabulous! Pad ped beef with green peppercorns is spicy and delicious! My husband always gets the crispy duck. If you like seafood all the fish options are outstanding!
(4)Rosie H.
Thai Bloom is my favorite Thai restaurant in all of Beaverton and Portland. They have an amazing happy hour with a really great menu. I love their peanut sauce! Best salad rolls and yummy home made coconut ice cream! I highly recommend you try them out!
(5)Vyha T.
Good food!!!
(5)Joe P.
Went here for lunch with a couple of coworkers and the place was packed, took about 5 minutes to get seated no big deal. The food was just ok, very lacking in flavor. I had to drown my Drunken Noodles in hot sauce to get more flavor. The service was awful, we constantly had to wave down random servers to ask for items because our waitress was off doing bigger and better things apparently. With all the great food choices around this area I don't think I'll be back to Thai Bloom.
(2)Puneet S.
This is the place to go to if you are a Thai food lover! They have avery good selection of vegetarian dishes. I have ordered dinner Takeaways for my family as well as had visited this place for office lunch. Food has always been great. Highly recommend!
(5)S C.
The best Thai food in town! A little crowded on a Friday evening, but well worth the wait.
(5)Cheryl D.
I am not sure if they experienced an "off" day today due to the holiday but we went for lunch and were super disappointed. It was fairly crowded so we offered to sit in the bar but they said they did not have enough staff to open the bar area, so they seated us in the restaurant. No classical music today, which we loved last time. Even at lunch time they only provided the dinner menu and pricing, maybe that was due to the holiday who knows. OK onto the food. We each ordered a bowl of soup, Tom Yum and Tom Kha. Hubby thought both soups were OK, I found them to be salty, I got a nice huge bite of galangal root which I did not appreciate. Please remove the non edible parts before serving my soup! I got my usual Drunken Noodles, asked for the skinny Pad Thai Noodles instead, of course they ignored my request and I got the large noodles. My dish was greasy and not very flavorful. I asked for spicy and I guess that means hot oil to them. I did not like the taste or lack of taste much at all. It was too goopy and wet and way too sweet. Honey ordered a Special, Death by Asparagus, which was oddly bland. Hubby thought since it had Ginger Root, Jalapenos, and Bell Peppers it would be tasty. He never found one Jalapeno in his entire meal. It was served with pathetic looking dried out steamed rice. I also noted that some of the Asparagus was really woody and chewy, not good. (Since my lunch was awful I had a few bites of his). I ended up taking 80% of my meal home, Hubby said he would doctor it up and take it for lunch tomorrow. I am still mildly hungry. Sadly disappointed at the food quality and the prices.
(2)JP R.
I had the Thai bbq chicken large portion, fall off the bone tender and delicious. Served with fresh brown rice and fresh vegetables...my friend had the pad Thai with chicken said it was very good served with tender white chicken. The coffee took awhile to get brewed but was very unusually flavorful with a chestnut flavor, first rate just nothing I've tasted before. Thai iced coffee was rich and good but had a bit of a weird aftertaste in the cream. Service was fair the lady was nice but not great. Only two tables and she just wasn't that attentive, but nice. I wanted siracha sauce she brings this tiny little cup and it didn't taste like the real thing. Didn't have condiments on table had to ask for soy sauce, and no red chili sauce but food was first rate. FYI kind of expensive for Thai 11.99 and up for any dish....
(4)Lyle R.
The Drunken noodles were very good and the service was super fast. The coconut ice cream is a must. The only reason I didn't give them 5 stars, and I probably will next time, is I would have liked to see some more vegetables in my dish. But out of the 5 Thai restaurants I have gone to in Beaverton Thai Bloom is the best.
(4)britta w.
We live close and occasionally order in or go to the restaurant, but usually go to the bar for happy hour. Ordering in can get pricey with delivery fee. Happy hour is a great deal, as is the lunch menu. Love the curries and drunken noodles, also the salad rolls and kao soi noodles. Service can get a little slow when they are busy, which they usually are. Everyone is very nice and you really can't beat the happy hour prices and portions.
(5)Jeanette P.
My new favorite Thai restaurant. This place is a winner in all area. Nice ambience. Great service. Delicious food. Been there twice now, and both times I have eaten till my stomach hurts, it's that good, can't stop.
(5)Jessica W.
Eating at Thai Bloom was a very unusual experience and I have mixed feelings about this experience. First of all, the service was very effective and fast, and the staff very warm and friendly, so that is a plus. We had food to go, I ordered green curry with prawns, because it is one of my favorites, my friend had a yellow curry dish with chicken. The taste was very good, and fresh, the perfect combination of ingredients, except it was on the salty side. Green curry is already spicy on its own, then with some extra salt, it can be a bit overwhelming. My friend's curry was also very salty. So it'd be good if they could use much less salt in the food in general. One thing I was not happy about was the green curry was too liquid, the consistency was more like a soup and the bad part was there was not much food in it, either of veggies nor the shrimp. I was able to find only few shrimp in it and even the bamboo and the eggplants pieces were like invisible, so no much to chew, but lots of liquid. I am putting an extra star only because there was real, fresh baby coconut meat in it, so that was a plus too, on the other hand it was not enough either, so overall it was a an extremely small portion, not even enough for a small kid, and with way too small amount of veggies /shrimp
(4)Gonzalo V.
Ive been to this place twice and their food is really good. The place is very nice inside and pleasant. A bit pricey but I would still recommend.
(4)Srujal S.
Excellent food which was unlike Thai I had ever tasted before. They have many unique items and combinations on the menu. This was my first time there but I can't wait to return to try the other options. Service was excellent and the dessert was killer. Thank you for an excellent time experience. Oh and one more thing, they give you warm towels after your meal. Never had that experience before. Awesome!!!
(5)Arielle S.
We had the panang curry and drunken noodles, both were phenomenal! Will return very soon!
(5)Scott H.
If you're gonna be above the bar, you better bring it. This place has a pretty slick photographer and a pretty ambitious menu which piqued our interest. Location is not superb. It's kind of where businesses go to die in Beaverton. We sat down at an empty table for happy hour. Were not even acknowledged, so we went to get a table at the restaurant. Happy hour got us there, but we never got to experience it. Lame. The restaurant appeared to only have one waiter. He was holding his own pretty well, but some more help never hurt a place. I got the crab pad thai. The pad thai was pretty good, but had a taste of burned garlic that was a little unpleasant. The crab was not very much, or at least not enough to warrant the steep price. Lots of bits of shell too. My wife got the Drunken Noodles. These kept this place from getting 1 star. Great flavor. Now the price point is a little high. I will pay more for location or superior ingredients and product. This place didn't have bad ingredients but it didn't warrant the price tag. And location...if anything they should be charging less for the location. Another super annoying this was there is a major electrical problem because the lights kept flickering. Come on guys. Hire some help. Hire an electrician and bring your prices back down to earth.

Great happy hour. Nice service.
(3)Andy B.
Came in here with the old famdamily after fighting the post christmas crowds at the mall. Craving some thai food, ma suggested this little place. Nice little chow pad. Relatively small but the staff is uber friendly. Could just be that portland vibe going on here. Well bonus points for mom on this one, happy hour food and apps. Cheap and a lot of food ranging for 2-$6. Yes ma'am we will have one of each. And keep the Mai tais flowing. Handcrafted cocktails for under 5$ I'm on board pick me up in an a few hours. Calamari, chicken larb and drunken noodle. Not one to judge but watch out here I go. I judge thai food places by the pad Thai and calamari. Calamari super good. The sauce is what makes it not to chewy but not over cooked. Pad Thai. Great flavor just enough spice that I won't be regretting my choice later this evening (hot in hot out). Pretty surprised at this little place it looks like a little strip mall but the inside is comparable to the fancy smancy places you would take your g-ma to after your graduation party but with much less of the drama and judgement. Gotta go yo last call for happy hour gotta get mah noodle on. Peace out broskis. Headed back to the cali surf tomorrow !!!
(5)Michael S.
This is hands down my favorite Thai restaurant! My girlfriend and I have been coming here since they first opened, and we always choose this if we have a craving for some great Thai food! Great for take out, dinner, and happy hour. The chicken pad thai is fantastic! Also, they have Happy Hour all day on Sunday!!! I highly recommend their spring rolls. The sweet chili sauce that they serve with them is amazing! Writing this review is making me hungry, so I should probably just stop now. In conclusion, it is good!
(5)T L.
WARNING to all customers. Check your receipt against your bank statement! I ordered takeout today and did not tip them because it took 1/2 to get me the food and they did not make it to my specification. So my totaI I authorized was $27.98. However, my online bank statement indicated that they charged me for $33.58. So my server Nam decided to give herself a 20% tip without my authorization. This is considered FRAUD and I've reported it to my bank. Will be contacting the restaurant owner/manager next.
(1)Jenn C.
My favorite. They make yellow curry, pad Thai, and Tom ka soup vegan for us and it's THE BEST!
(5)Mike C.
Very, very good Thai food. I love Thai food and have eaten it all of over the US and in Thailand. I have been ordering Thai Bloom from Delivered Dish for a year or two. Every time the food is excellent, especially considering it spends 20 minutes or more in a car before it gets to our house. Tonight we got massaman beef and cashew chicken. Bothe were excellent. The beef was incredibly tender and flavorful. The chicken was excellent and the vegetables were cooked PERFECTLY, crisp but not undercooked. Somebody was really paying attention to the details when they prepared our meal. If you want good, honest Thai food, Thai Bloom is the place.
(5)Donna R.
I LOVE Thai Bloom! They make great curry dishes and have a great happy hour allows you to try some dishes you don't usually order and find some more favorites. Portions are good and prices are pretty reasonable.
(5)Katie S.
My favorite thai place! I love their happy hour and crab pad thai. The pah kee mao was on the salty side, but still good. Great service too! Will be back for more deliciousness.
(5)Nadia H.
Yummy drunken noodles and good service. Wait can be annoying as it's a bit small but I defly recommend!
(3)Jerlyn A.
Great QUALITY thai food here....the curry is amazing!!! I came here with a group of friends when most of Portland/Beaverton was closed due to the snow...this place was one of the only places that stayed open! I'm so glad they did. A friend from out of town ordered the pad Thai and said that it was the best she had ever had. We ordered the panang curry with beef, and the beef was so soft and you could tell the curry was quality and not watered down. Great happy hour as well, love the vibe/decor. Definately a great place to go after work for a drink and amazing Thai food!
(3)Brian M.
Massaman Beef Curry, get it!
(5)Ritesh G.
Good place to go with family & friends.
(4)Kate H.
This is by far the best Thai restaurant I've ever been too and even my somewhat picky eater husband is loving it! I'm not a maître but I can appreciate good food and Thai Bloom more than delivers that!!!
(5)Brittany O.
I was tasked by my employer to find an acceptable restaurant to host a post-ribbon cutting dinner for ~ 20 people. My initial finds were pretty discouraging: required financial commitments in the form of deposits, RSVP minimum head count, limited menu options, etc. Working in the business end of things, I completely understand a restaurants' demand to be reassured that a reservation will be worth the trouble but, truthfully, I knew I couldn't commit to much on the behalves of my co-workers and executive-level bosses for all sorts of reasons. Thai Bloom's accommodation was the breath of fresh air I needed. Sam answered my call - extremely helpful - gathered necessary info and made scheduling and ordering recommendations according to the size of the party. No marriage necessary. The experience of the restaurant itself was fantastic: Good-humored, unintrusive service - INCREDIBLE food - and lovely ambiance. My boss sung my praises for leading everyone to such a gem. So, I'm left to sing it's praises. I'll be back!!
(5)Austin S.
Delicious Thai food. We had basil fried rice and drunken noodles - both were excellent. A bit crowded, it was loud when we went on a weeknight.
(5)Robert L.
The service here is terrible. I have sat for 20 minutes before getting any service and waited a good hour before anything arrived. The worst part is that it is a Tuesday night, where the restaurant is not even crowded. Definitely will NOT be coming here again.
(1)Katie W.
Okay food okay drinks okay prices. Poor service they were busy over staffed and still slow. The poor bartender was running everything the manager/ owner cut off happy hour cuz they were too busy. Thats a no no. The poor staff was frustrated and unorganized. I would try back maybe one more time to give them another chance.
(2)Little T.
great happy hour. good service!
(4)Laura G.
Excellent lunch at the bar yesterday with Mom. We split a House salad and green curry with veges and tofu, and brown rice. Can't wait to try Happy Hour!
(4)Wandervogel S.
This is one of the best Thai places in town! Cashew and Ginger dishes are recommended. Thai ice tea here is delicious. Very friendly staff. Waits can be longer during lunch hour 12-1. Nothing special about the happy hour menu. If you are in Beaverton and want great food, this is a must go place.
(4)Tracy S.
Excellent service and food! Cooked to my specific order, no problem. Excellent cocktails!
(5)Kevin H.
Worst Thai food I've ever had. Had the pad Thai and it tasted like the smell of dog food, literally. My wife gagged on the food when she took one bite to try it. It had the strangest flavor and did not taste like a traditional pad Thai. I had chicken in it and it was dry and had no flavor - tasted like poultry without any seasoning. Also, the noodles were very dry. My wife had some sort of rice dish with pineapple and chicken. The rice was very dry as well as the chicken, which also had no flavor/seasoning. I will never go back.
(1)Stevie F.
Thai bloom is always consistent and staff is friendly. Fav thai food in Beaverton hands down.

Tried for the first time and chose two items off menu to go -- food is EXCELLENT---worth the price However, service is lacking--they have a strange system for to go items that sit near the door on a table so you can be waiting ten minutes or more while your order is sitting there and you are waiting for someone to check if it's yours and give it to you- so finally, I looked at all the bags and found my name on one and took it and left--there were three employees (one that looked like owner or manager but no one paid attention to the food sitting there. They definitely weren't very busy and the person at the front was talking for probably more than the time we were waiting to some friends in whatever language she was speaking (not English) while we sat and looked at our food sitting there (finally figured it out it was ours)--the four stars is for food only---will have to go back and sit down and see how that system works--the Asian lady at the front seems a bit rude though

The best Thai food in the Portland area...period! We tried most of the items on the menu and they're all good. Our favorites are the Salad Rolls, Chicken Satay, Chicken Pad Thai, Cashew Chicken, Ginger Chicken and Drunken Noodles. Service is top notch and Sam (head server) makes you feel like you're at home. Now they've opened up a Thai Bloom on NW 23rd so I can get my Thai fix downtown!
