Went a couple weeks ago, and really didn't expect much - was always sour that Cameo Cafe was gone and there is no more Typhoon. I was extremely happy with my decision to finally eat here. Amazingly great service, I felt like everyone working was the owner and really cared! I had such a great experience that I figured I'd pick up take-out a week later. I didn't call in my order, and again was amazed how fast they got the meal ready. I'll be eating here often:)

Let me preface this review by saying I'm not a big fan of Thai food. Pros: - Nice outdoor seating area - Clean and organized - Menu had lots of options Cons: - Waitress was inattentive - The duck in my duck fried rice was not well trimmed and kind of gross. I know I'm picky about my meat, but I don't like eating slices of meat that are half fat. I ended up picking most of the meat out of the dish.

Solid newer Thai place in the Alphabet District. Have gotten takeout for the family twice and everything has been very good. Drunken noodles were my personal favorite so far, but everything has been solid. A nice addition to the neighborhood.
(4)Jared W.
A great place to get some Thai food in the north west. The people who work there are helpful and very kind. The food is also great. They will cook it to any spice level you desire. They will also accommodate to you're vegetarian desires. Worth checking out.
(4)Roger B.
Both the Tom Yum soup and the grilled beef are rich with flavor.

My wife and I had dinner here tonight and I felt compelled to leave a review. Very friendly staff, great tasting fresh Thai food and better yet- a very good value. They have only been open for a month but I think they should prepare to be very busy. I will be back for sure!
(5)Tom D.
It's pretty good Thai, just don't order all at once or you will be given everything at one time. The Chicken Won Ton's are good, most noodle dishes are ok too. Service is always prompt and food is hot.
(4)J. P.
I've eaten here several times as it is close to my office. My wife and I ordered take out there today 2 Pad Thais, one Pork, one Tofu. When I opened the box it didn't look normal. I decided to eat it anyway. The taste matched the look. Something obviously wasn't right with it. It tasted as if maybe the meat had gone bad. The problem with that is that the Tofu option tasted the same. We called the store to let them know and they were less than helpful. They offered no solution and were not polite on the phone. Sorry to say that after frequenting this place many times we will not be going back.

Friendly nice people, food with wonderful flavor (pad prik khing with beef and salad rolls) and great prices.
(4)Tera M.
This place has a ton of seating inside and out and great food. The wait staff is super sweet and they have an AMAZING hot chili sauce that is house made. Highly recommended.
(5)Mary M.
The food was meh, I've had better pad Thai and salad rolls. Maybe not the freshest ingredients. However, the takeout service was great - we accidentally ordered from the Beaverton location and were able to fix the mistake with no trouble or extra charge.
(3)Mattanee T.
Coconut shrimp was tasty and crunchy. Kuay Teaw Reau is my all time favorite. Fried banana and ice cream was an outstanding way to finish my dinner. Very friendly service.
(5)Cat C.
Hooray!! A new Thai restaurant to love! I didn't know where I was going to get my Thai fix when Typhoon closed. Luckily, Thai Noodle opened just up the street. The staff are super friendly and the pad thai and panang curry are delicious! I will definitely be going back to try more dishes. Such a relief to know there's exceptional Thai food on 23rd again!
(5)B. A.
Wonderful, wonderful! Friendly, able, eager service -- could not be better! A handsome space, too. NW Portland has a few nice Thai restaurants but this one is even better. I've eaten lunch with friends there twice and dinner also twice there. Everyone was happy. The tom yum and the tom kar gai soups are divine (and come in hot pots with a chimney, fuel lit to keep it warm at the table), the curries ditto, and the noodle dishes are also wonderful. Alas, the papaya salad doesn't use the fish sauce and dried shrimp that give papaya salad its personality (on the other hand it's probably vegan) but really, everything is fresh, flavorful, delicious. They ask you about spice level. I like spicy but not everyone does. If you ask for mild it is very, very mild. You really can take someone who can't take heat here, and they will accomodate that diner. All in all a terrific Thai place that is gracious and beautiful -- which this area needed
(5)Meghan P.
This is the best Thai I have had since I found a restraint near my graduate school. I love Thai food however, my husband could take it out leave it. We ordered the chicken pot stickers and pad see eew. It was delicious and my husband even finished mine! Wish I could take this place back to the suburbs of Chicago!
(5)Eric F.
The food is tasty and generally priced correctly. The location is very nice, especially when the sun shines and one can sit outside. The service, however, leaves much to be desired. All the staff are trying hard and I commend them for their efforts, but there is a confusion as to who is doing what. I would guess that few of them have previous restaurant experience. Perhaps the most grievous broach of etiquette occurred when the waiter asked if we wanted beverages. I was with my wife and two kids. We try to limit the sugar intake for our kids so we usually don't allow them lemonade or soda with dinner. The kids are unhappy with this policy and an argument often arises around it. So when the waiter asked about drinks I told him we would all be drinking water with dinner. He persisted, "Are you sure? We have lemonade and soda for the kids?" Luckily we escaped the kids starting up but a server should never push like that.

SOUR FOOD. STAFF DOESN'T CARE. DON'T EAT HERE. Just tried this place for the first time today. My husband goes here because he works close by. We both ordered the Pad Thai and at the first bite, we knew it wasn't right. It tasted sour, like it had gone bad. I had tofu and he had pork and neither of us could eat a 2nd bite. I called and told them and they were extremely rude and not helpful. Stating "I don't know what you want me to do about it" and suggested we walk the food back up to the restaurant so the kitchen could inspect it. At this point we were not able to return to the restaurant because of our schedules. I reminded the man that I wasn't calling to solve the mystery food, I was calling to inform them of bad food being served, hopefully avoiding illness to others and to get our money back. He said he couldn't give me my money back, but "if I gave him my number, the owner MIGHT call me back, IF SHE FEELS LIKE IT." Wow.
(1)Mayana N.
I was dying for Thai food when I came to Portland and my family recommended this place. I was very concerned due to the shabbiness of the outside, but they always say that relates to the authenticity of the food! The service was decent and the chefs drunken noodles were drool-worthy. My friend ordered the fried rice which was ok but I was VERY oily. Trust me, I like some oil but it was drenched. The seating was also weird due to out the layout of the building was but it didn't stop our server from frequently checking in on us. I'm definitely coming back for takeout and delivery but i wouldn't come for a nice sit down dinner.
(4)Angela P.
Beautiful space & kind, efficient staff, but my food was underwhelming. Ordered Pad Kee Mao which is a dish I normally love (& have tried many places). This was the worst. A pile of overcooked / disintegrating rice noodles, surrounded by chunks of raw vegetables... raw tomato, onion, bell pepper. Seemed like the ingredients were just added to the wok in the wrong order. Strange...this is so basic, but big fail. Disappointing & I can't see returning when there's so much good Thai in town.
(2)Angela L.
Ok I have sat down to eat here three times now. SUCH GOOD SERVICE! Prompt, polite, and servers and super friendly and knowledgable about the menu. Super cool arrangement inside an older house.
(5)Gwen J.
This is a great neighborhood restaurant....whether you are eating in or taking out. The service is amazing. Now that the sun is out, you can bring your best friends.....dog or human.....and dine on the outside deck. Drink their amazing mint lime drink and just kick-back. Wonderful food and so fresh. Enjoy...

Thai Noodle etc. has great food and is an exceptional value. The location at the corner of NW Everett and Westover is airy and with a view of the neighborhood. The staff is very friendly. On my first visit, I was picking up a lunch take-out order for a friend. It looked so good, I returned and had a delectable seafood soup. Ingredients were fresh, it was well seasoned, and served promptly piping hot. I did see some other dishes at adjacent tables. All looked so tasty. It's great to have this treasure in the neighborhood. I'll be back and with friends to work our way through the menu.

Maybe it's because it is a very short walk from my place. But I find myself here frequently. But maybe it's also the fact that Thai Noodle serves delicious portions of food at great prices. Me and my wife have worked through a sizable amount of the menu here, very little is disagreeable. My favourite is probably the basil chili dish (I forget the actual thai name of the dish) but the Beef Skewers are a close second. Waitstaff are normally very friendly and helpful, no complaints there either. They also have a great seating area outside too.
(5)Jenni D.
I could eat Thai food all day every day, so you can imagine my choices living here in Portland - they are a plenty. Thai Noodle Etc. was on my list once they crossed over from the 'burbs. The Pad Thai was average, but lacked a certain sense of flavor (needed more spice?). The Green Curry was probably the best on the menu, with plenty of flavor and perfectly cooked rice. There were several places to sit, and we got stuck in a corner by the door. It wasn't the ideal location for service, and the fruit flies seemed to find us attractive. Kind of disappointing for a girls dinner-date...
(3)Aarun C.
Good coconut shrimp, but I tend to like the frozen kind... Flavorless pad Thai and peanut sauce.
(2)Graham W.
It's a Thia in a mall so we weren't expecting great things. Pros - food is pretty good! Prices good. Cons - location. The one thing that would have got this tons 4 star would be service. Happy hr was 3-6pm for half price appetizers. We arrived at 5.58pm but it took 10 mins to come to our table. By then I asked is happy hour still on? Nope its over :) a bit of customer service here and aknowledgment of the fact we were there before 6pm would have got a 4 star. So no biggy. It costs us about $10 extra but hey... I recommend this place and will go again

Food was tasty & fast, service good and staff polite.

My son and I took his mother here for Mother's Day. He had been here before and raved about the food. However, the restaurant has changed the name to, Khao Soy. The food is NOT good at all. New cook. The Angel Wings, just chicken wings thrown in a deep fryer with no seasonings, and served on a spoonful of sweet chili sauce. OVERCOOKED! The Wonton appetizer, a fingernail of, I don't know what, deep fried. BLAND! The Pineapple Fried Rice with pork, a gooey mess,with a glob of yellow curry. There were 6 in our party, and everyone was disappointed to say the least. My wife and son are Thai, so it's not that we don't know Thai food. My wife's cooking is 100's of times better. And, when the check arrived, they automatically added an 18% tip. There is nothing on the menu that describes this practice. The wait staff were fantastic, and friendly, and apologetic. If you want a true taste of Thai, this is NOT it. Needless to say, I will not return.
(1)Amanda K.
* If it isn't blatantly obvious per my other reviews around town, I've got a massive boner for Thai food. It's my absolute fave cuisine! So I've been on a personal mission to tear through all the hot Thai eateries PDX has to offer. Khao Soy has secured their place in my top 5!! DELICIOUS. ADDICTING. NOT AFRAID OF CUSTOM ORDERS. I'm also stoked to have found a Thai place in NW, close to my house. Normally I have to hike over to SE or Beaverton for amazing Asian food. If you're a Drunken Noodles junkie like me, your fix is here. Savory, umami flavor explosion with any level of spice you'd prefer. Huge portions too; I couldn't even finish my lunch size. Salad rolls? Crunchy and delicious. Quick service; friendly people. Yep. No negatives to report on this place. Give it a shot if you're in the Nob Hill area! **EDIT: fun fact! Delivered Dish is partnered with this place! Now you can have fresh Thai food without even worrying about parking in this neighborhood.

My first review on Yelp, and I'm so sad to write it! The last three times I've gotten food here have been so disappointing. Today I called in an order. They told me it'd be 15 minutes. I showed up 17 minutes later and they had no record of my order at all. Weird and a bummer but they put my order in again. I ordered lightly spicy yellow curry with potatoes and green beans. I got yellow curry with potatoes, broccoli, carrots, and cabbage - and lots of spice (which was fine, I can handle it). What pushed me over the edge were the 3 black stringy hairs in my food I found - I continued eating after hair number 2 because I really wanted to like it. Hair 3 was over the line. Last time I went my pad woon sen was very over seasoned and my mate's pad thai was sopping wet with sauce (?) to the point she couldn't eat it. Time before that the papaya salad smelled like something was rotten in it, so my boyfriend threw it out. Service is kind and friendly here; the food has been disappointing. I won't be back but hope you have a better experience than me!
(1)Hao S.
first time be here and already become our top 5 Thai restaurants around! quite authentic taste and spices they use here; everything taste great and fresh. definitely will come back again.
(4)Ken H.
I've eaten here at least 6 times and the food is always Great! My favorite is the Thai Frog Legs, they are just perfect and flavorful.
(5)Sierra A.
I just ordered the papaya salad with tofu... I've had it a million times and loved it! It's terrible! Too much garlic and the tofu has no flavor. New cook?!
(1)Jerry M.
Khao Soy Thai Restaurant occupies the pointed tip of the triangular shaped block at NW Everett and Westover. It's an appealing location with a large deck in front for outdoor seating. When eating at different Thai restaurants, we usually order these three favorite things: salad rolls, pad thai, and some sort of curry, and we did the same last night for dinner. Khao Soy Thai's salad rolls were really crisp and good, and I liked the accompanying peanut sauce which was especially peanutty-tasting and thick. However, we weren't particularly fond of their pad thai because of the gummy consistency of the noodles which made them stick together too much and formed some clumps. Also, I thought the pad thai's flavor had a bit too much sweetness. The massamun curry was delicious, but the sauce was kind of watery. It would be nice to have a thicker sauce which sticks to the rice and ingredients instead of just running right through to the bottom of the plate. Our servers were very gracious and provided good service, which was a plus. Also, another plus was that they had a TV set where I could keep an eye on the score of the Oregon State-San Jose State football game.
(3)Allen K.
After eating here 10 times I think I've finally put my finger on what the "etc" in Thai Noodle Etc means. Crack cocaine. It's the only explanation. All those sleepless nights craving their delicious noodles finally makes sense! Joking aside, this is one of the best Thai restaurants (of the many many options) in Portland. I don't usually like to frequent the same place so often but once I started eating here I was hooked. I don't see any reason why I would want to try other Thai places in the area because it just won't live up to the same flavors as Thai Noodle. My favorites are the Pad Kee Mao (drunken noodles), the Pad See Ew, and the Green Curry. I really enjoy the crunch of the coconut shrimp as well. In my experience, the noodles have never been dry or bland and always with the right amount of moist sauciness that I expect from good Thai noodle dishes. I will say they are a bit conservative on the spice though. Even when I request "spicy" I end up adding a bit of extra spice to my dish. Service is also fast/friendly and ordering is a snap whether by phone, in person or online. I made myself hungry now, time to get my fix and order up some noodles! (No really, I'm calling right now).
(5)Heather F.
After over a year of regular patronage (wow! time flies!) it's really about time to update my review. I take out from here approximately once per week (law school, don't judge), and I have never once been disappointed. They always give a 15 minute estimate, and my food is always ready on time. I am greeted with a smile every time I go in. After living in Portland for a while, I've come to realize that these things are not guaranteed. Prompt and courteous service aren't always the norm here (especially the prompt part). Call me impatient, but I really appreciate efficiency. Next, and most importantly, the food is amazing. It's a standard Thai menu, and I have yet to be let down by an order. My personal favorites are chiang mai noodles, pad se ew, and pad kee mao. The salad rolls with peanut sauce are also quite incredible. Basically, you can't go wrong. If you have a standard Thai order (pad thai, curry, etc.) order that. There's a very good chance it will be the best one you've had in Portland.
(5)Hungrylone W.
I had such high expectations for this place, it looks so nice. First of all the prices that are listed on the website are not accurate. The item we ordered said it was $8.25 on the website when I came to pick it up it they charged me $9.50. I find this practice to be kind of shady. As for the actual food, it wasn't that great either. Very dry and lack luster.
(2)Jay P.
Ordered some dry tasteless pad Thai once before but gave them the benefit of the doubt and tried again out of convenience... ordered drunken noodle and I'm pretty sure they used Ground beef... Not the usual cuts of beef like the rest of the normal world does! This isn't hamburger helper and I'm highly weirded out! Flavor and everything else were fine, nothing to write home about tho. I don't mean to offend but this restaurant has some things to work out & until then I won't be back.

This restaurant is still there, same owners n staff, but the name changed because there is another restaurant in Beaverton with the same name. The new name was K....something. Sorry, forgot. But we went in despite the absence of a store sign anywhere on the building. Just trying our luck. We ordered Pineapple Chicken Fried Rice, Chicken Drunken Noodles and Beef Pad Thai. They were DELICIOUS!!! We are from L.A. and have had our share of Thai food to know what is Quality. You won't be disappointed!
(5)Alex B.
Yes two stars. I started having high expectations and started them with 5 stars when we first sat down but as the night progressed the stars just faded away. Let's start with the service. There were only two servers on a busy night therefore it affected how long our orders were taken and the accuracy of our orders. (More on that later.) Now for the food. The Tom yum soup that was served in the firebowl was cold. When serving hot soup, please make sure it is hot, not warm, H-O-T. Other thai restaurants I go to have fire in the middle of their "firebowl", they did not. Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. (smh). My Thai Fried Rice was messed up and they gave me the second one on the list (Khao Pad Kra Prao) which we wouldn't have minded (really) but that one was just too spicy (and that was the only difference between one and two). I ordered a non-spicy fried rice (Khao Pad) for a reason. Their quality control really went out the window tonight. Well, for all the good reasons, we are not coming back here but I would ask you to try it at least once because, (aside from the food being good) your experience may be different than ours.
(2)Pat L.
Love the fact that you can always count on this restaurant serving fresh good quality and consistent food. Every dish I've had has been delicious! My favorite on a cold evening is the ba-mee-moo-dang-bbq-pork-with-egg-noodles.
(5)Thomas M.
Great pricing and delicious food. Thai is a weekly occurrence for me and this is one of Portland's best. The Thai ice tea is great for any summer afternoon.
(4)Phil B.
Great place for vegans. We had salad rolls (peanut-plum sauce was excellent), Kang Keaw Wan (green curry) with tofu, and Angel Eggplant w/tofu. The veggies were fresh and tasty and their flavor shined through. The service was attentive and courteous. We'll be back.
(5)Katie R.
Love this place! Their food is consistently delicious and I have yet to try something that I don't love! Great service and always timely! This has be own one of my favorite spots!
(5)Mara H.
This place is pretty high in the rankings on my "best pad thai in Portland" list. Their peanut sauce is also delicious, and I'm also a big fan of their coconut prawns. If you're a fan of Thai food and you're in the NW neighborhood, this is definitely a place to check out. The ambiance is also pleasant, so if you're looking for a place to dine in rather than getting take-out, this is a great choice. The one thing I was a bit disappointed with was their tom yum soup. The onions and ginger in it seemed to have been added rather late in the cooking process, so while the soup was overall quite mild, creamy, and coconutty, it also had big chunks of undercooked onion and ginger in it, which overpowered the subtle flavors of the soup (and probably did a number on my breath, especially the nearly-raw onions). Other than that, I've had nothing but positive experiences there! Definitely check out their pad thai if you're a fan, and try it with the peanut sauce -- it's delicious!
(4)Jade A.
So far, the most authentic Thai place I've tried! Their food is simply delicious! Would definitely go back again. It's a cute little restaurant and the service was spot on. A lot of Thai places I've tried does not know the spice control but this place does. I like mild, so far this place knows what I'm talking about when I tell them.
(5)Mahsa K.
Discovering the shops of the "prestigious NW 23rd neighborhood" seemed like a good idea in the morning. A short walk later we were chilled down to our bones. There among the beckoning display windows of Pottery Barn and Restoration Hardware we saw the sign on the side walk, just around the corner, Thai Noodle Etc awaited our arrival. Up the corner, slightly uphill we went, the house-converted restaurant welcomed us with wafting smells of spices and sweetness. We walked in and saw other tables served with piping hot (insert whatever dish here) and all we thought was I want.... like Zombies with brains, well, on the brain... we also had only one thing on the brain... warmth. First thing we ordered was nice warm bowl of soup: Tom Kha with veggies. That hit the spot, the flavors were great, but one thing... I wish they left the tomatoes out of the soup. We had a choice to order a small or a large, and we went with a small bowl, so the big chunks of hothouse tomatoes with the warm skin slowly peeling off was cumbersome to scoop around. My husband ordered fresh garden rolls and curry-pineapple friend rice with chicken which he loved. It smelled amazing... those onions, curry and pepper were exactly the notes that drew us in the first place. I ordered pad see ew with tofu because all I really cared about was getting a warm soup belly so I figured a common dish was probably quick and safe. It was, it was fairly safe. It was tasty, but not my favorite. It didn't taste bad, just not as flavorful as my soup or my husband's rice dish... the cook had topped my dish with a lot of table-not even course ground-black pepper which I'm not used to seeing on pad see ew. I think some of the flavors were lacking so they tried spicing it back up that way... didn't completely work, but it was good enough. The restroom was a single stall, but big and clean. The staff was nice. I think I even spied a full bar. I might come back if I'm in the area... for soup, hold tomatoes please.
(3)Peggy D.
Unfortunately they have changed their pad Thai recipe, and it now tastes like thick syrup. Awful decision. I'm bummed.
(2)Amado L.
By my palette and after only one visit, I can say without any doubt that I'm definitely a fan. For those who've had the pleasure of hearing my tirade over the merits of Thai restaurants based solely on their execution of the simple Pad Thai, I deem this one's version super tasty. I also appreciate that their "medium" spice setting is indeed at that point where each bite has just enough heat to awaken the tongue. (At other Thai restaurants, I've had to either douse the medium spice Pad Thai with lime juice to lessen the intensity or ask the staff to bring me the spice condiment jars on account of the dish lacking heat.) That I didn't have to do anything to this meal is a treat. The fried tofu as a starter was also delectable. Big ups to not burning the roof of my mouth on the first bite. I'll definitely be back. If only to give them an opportunity to gain that 5th star. :)
(4)T W.
Loved the pork pad kee mao. I've tried this dish at over 50 different Thai restaurants, from Bangkok to London, from Phuket to Portland. I'd say this place makes one of my favorite versions. They have the basics down: using wide rice noodles (surprising how many places try to pass off the thin rice noodles for this dish), onion, red and green sweet peppers, fresh basil (could have used a little more). The vegetables were nice and crunchy, a nice contrast to the soft noodles. I really liked the way the pork was chopped up small or put through a very coarse grinder. It picked up the flavor of the spices better than sliced pork. I had it served medium spicy which was just the right amount of heat for me. I like to feel some heat but not so hot that it overwhelms the flavors of dish. Service was fast, efficient, and checked multiple times if everything was all right. I definitely will go back.
(4)Margaretha Q.
The terrace is pretty nice, but I don't really like the interior, kind of dull and shady. My food (I ordered the seafood noodle soup) taste like made from frozen stuffs and instant paste, but my friends' satay and noodle were all good.
(3)p.c. m.
Freshest, most flavorful thai food I've had in Portland, and truly sweet staff members. The sweet and sour soup was complex and fabulous.
(5)Sam P.
I am here for the first time and was greeted as soon as I walked in and seated promptly. Not that busy for a Tuesday afternoon (around 2:20) it seems, which is great. I ordered the Jasmine tea and for my entree the BBQ pork & crispy pork with rice. I also was directly across from the TV so I had some mild entertainment despite not being a big sports fan. My food arrived quickly and it was very tasty :) although the crispy pork was not what I expected and perhaps a little too crispy, it wasn't bad. The BBQ pork and the rice were drizzled on this sweet red sauce and came with some hard boiled eggs and cucumber slices. All in all I am very satisfied and enjoyed the atmosphere.

All their food is really good and prices and hours are reasonable. The Beef Salad and Papaya Salad are my favorites and the Sausage Fried Rice is also great. They have beer and wine. There is a bike rack and a nice deck outside (perfect for the summer). My favorite Thai restaurant in this neighborhood.
(5)Curtis C.
Tried this place based off of the Yelp reviews, and I was not let down! I always try the papaya salad, and the pad kee mao when I go to a new Thai restaurant. For me, they help ID if they can nail down the basics or not. The papaya salad was delicious, although considering we ordered it "hot", it was not as spicy as I would have liked. I should have said "Thai hot". The portion size was great though, for $7.95. The Pad kee mao was excellent; lots of tofu, veggies, and the noodles were super wide, and thin. I also tried the green curry which was delicious. The curry had a strong lemongrass flavor that I really liked. Will definitely check them out again if I'm in the neighborhood and hankering for some yummy Thai food!
(4)Phyllis S.
My favourite Thai restaurant on the West side! Fresh, fast, crisp, perfect. We've been bringing friends and family here many times. Everyone has loved this place, every time!
(4)Ken H.
This place has so many great dishes. You can take your pick of the meau and wont find a bad dish, execpt one. Between my wife and I we have had over 1/2 the menu. We never walked away disappointed. I would rate the food at 4.5 out of 5.0. Only downer is the Pad Thai which is too sweet and lacks veggies.
(4)Jed S.
With so many choices for Thai, it is rare that a restaurant stands out. In this area I would normally recommend Red Onion, but Thai Noodle is exceptionally delicious.
(5)Cori W.
Thai Noodle is doing it right. Their food always comes out fresh and the sauces are so flavorful! I've been twice and have enjoyed the fresh rolls with peanut plum sauce (an absolute must!), the cashew nut tofu stir fry and pad see ew with tofu. The cashew nut sauce is so rich and complex, one of the best versions of this dish I've had. I also appreciate that they slice their tofu in strips and possibly freeze it before frying, it has a nice texture. The lunch portions are only $7 and provide enough food for leftovers. Service has been friendly and the food comes out quick; the space is small but they have a large outdoor patio and deliver. Thai Noodle is our new thai spot in our neighborhood.
(4)Prima B.
Food was ok. Not too impressed. Two servers for a very busy night. I might try this place again.
(3)Fong Y.
Not that bad of a place. Pak kee mao was pretty good, a bit oily but pretty good. The thai boat noodle was also not too bad. I'd definitely come again, just don't like the fact that it's hard to find parking. From what I've been able to see. If they restaurant can make a decent pad thai then they're a pretty good place to try. I was surprised when the waitress didn't ask how spicy we would like our dishes. But it wasn't that big of a deal. Food still came out in a timely order. Now for my actual opinion. It's a bit on the sweet side. I had fried rice, pad thai, and pak kee mao today and all had more of a sweet side to them. I've had authentic Thai dishes before and they are more on the spicy side which I love. If you're into Thai food but don't want the spiciness that they usually have in authentic Thai dishes then this place is for you. I will return if they do offer a spicier dish that is not as sweet. Until the next time.
(4)Janelle J.
I love this place! Always good friendly service. In the summer they have a great outdoor patio. I normally order the Pad Thai with a side of peanut sauce. Their peanut sauce is to die for! Also their salad rolls and yellow curry and delicious!
(5)Jessica G.
The food at this location is better than the food at the Beaverton location. I got take out and it was really good also loved that the food came in compostable/reusable containers. Ordered "spicy" and was pleasantly surprised that it was in fact very spicy! Patio looks nice.
(4)Wesley B.
I very much enjoyed the shrimp with yellow curry, the staff was friendly and helpful. I'll half to come back again.
(3)Soroya M.
I came to thai noodle to get Salad rolls and Pad Thai they were disgusting and the peanut sauce was horrible! I will NOT be going back. And I don't recommend anyone to this place.
(2)Erica B.
I came here on my birthday, no reservations, walked in with a group of ten, and asked if they had any availability (not like it was packed or has a lot of space, no offense). The guy who greeted us was awesome, he got my group a table in no time. We all sat and the menu looked great (this is only my 2nd time here). I got the paid thai and some soup, my friends got an array of different dishes and it was all fantastic. If there were leftovers they were going to be eaten that night. :). As we were paying the waiter was able to split the check separately, totally awesome move there dude, and we were all good to go. Overall, I really enjoy this place for it only being my second time. Each time was really nice, great good, and it's good for a date or something! Go nuts!
(4)MirMack M.
Great outdoor patio. The pad see ew was really good.
(4)James O.
Solid thai in a good location. I live 2 blocks away so I'm always here. It's good, cheap, and fast. The chiang Mai noodle is excellent. Pad se ew and pad thai are also very good. Also the drunken noodle.
(4)Jenni D.
I could eat Thai food all day every day, so you can imagine my choices living here in Portland - they are a plenty. Thai Noodle Etc. was on my list once they crossed over from the 'burbs. The Pad Thai was average, but lacked a certain sense of flavor (needed more spice?). The Green Curry was probably the best on the menu, with plenty of flavor and perfectly cooked rice. There were several places to sit, and we got stuck in a corner by the door. It wasn't the ideal location for service, and the fruit flies seemed to find us attractive. Kind of disappointing for a girls dinner-date...
(3)Aarun C.
Good coconut shrimp, but I tend to like the frozen kind... Flavorless pad Thai and peanut sauce.
(2)Graham W.
It's a Thia in a mall so we weren't expecting great things. Pros - food is pretty good! Prices good. Cons - location. The one thing that would have got this tons 4 star would be service. Happy hr was 3-6pm for half price appetizers. We arrived at 5.58pm but it took 10 mins to come to our table. By then I asked is happy hour still on? Nope its over :) a bit of customer service here and aknowledgment of the fact we were there before 6pm would have got a 4 star. So no biggy. It costs us about $10 extra but hey... I recommend this place and will go again
(3)Justin B.
Food was tasty & fast, service good and staff polite.
(5)Robert M.
My son and I took his mother here for Mother's Day. He had been here before and raved about the food. However, the restaurant has changed the name to, Khao Soy. The food is NOT good at all. New cook. The Angel Wings, just chicken wings thrown in a deep fryer with no seasonings, and served on a spoonful of sweet chili sauce. OVERCOOKED! The Wonton appetizer, a fingernail of, I don't know what, deep fried. BLAND! The Pineapple Fried Rice with pork, a gooey mess,with a glob of yellow curry. There were 6 in our party, and everyone was disappointed to say the least. My wife and son are Thai, so it's not that we don't know Thai food. My wife's cooking is 100's of times better. And, when the check arrived, they automatically added an 18% tip. There is nothing on the menu that describes this practice. The wait staff were fantastic, and friendly, and apologetic. If you want a true taste of Thai, this is NOT it. Needless to say, I will not return.
(1)Meghan P.
This is the best Thai I have had since I found a restraint near my graduate school. I love Thai food however, my husband could take it out leave it. We ordered the chicken pot stickers and pad see eew. It was delicious and my husband even finished mine! Wish I could take this place back to the suburbs of Chicago!
(5)T W.
Loved the pork pad kee mao. I've tried this dish at over 50 different Thai restaurants, from Bangkok to London, from Phuket to Portland. I'd say this place makes one of my favorite versions. They have the basics down: using wide rice noodles (surprising how many places try to pass off the thin rice noodles for this dish), onion, red and green sweet peppers, fresh basil (could have used a little more). The vegetables were nice and crunchy, a nice contrast to the soft noodles. I really liked the way the pork was chopped up small or put through a very coarse grinder. It picked up the flavor of the spices better than sliced pork. I had it served medium spicy which was just the right amount of heat for me. I like to feel some heat but not so hot that it overwhelms the flavors of dish. Service was fast, efficient, and checked multiple times if everything was all right. I definitely will go back.
(4)Margaretha Q.
The terrace is pretty nice, but I don't really like the interior, kind of dull and shady. My food (I ordered the seafood noodle soup) taste like made from frozen stuffs and instant paste, but my friends' satay and noodle were all good.
(3)p.c. m.
Freshest, most flavorful thai food I've had in Portland, and truly sweet staff members. The sweet and sour soup was complex and fabulous.
(5)Sam P.
I am here for the first time and was greeted as soon as I walked in and seated promptly. Not that busy for a Tuesday afternoon (around 2:20) it seems, which is great. I ordered the Jasmine tea and for my entree the BBQ pork & crispy pork with rice. I also was directly across from the TV so I had some mild entertainment despite not being a big sports fan. My food arrived quickly and it was very tasty :) although the crispy pork was not what I expected and perhaps a little too crispy, it wasn't bad. The BBQ pork and the rice were drizzled on this sweet red sauce and came with some hard boiled eggs and cucumber slices. All in all I am very satisfied and enjoyed the atmosphere.
(4)Ira G.
All their food is really good and prices and hours are reasonable. The Beef Salad and Papaya Salad are my favorites and the Sausage Fried Rice is also great. They have beer and wine. There is a bike rack and a nice deck outside (perfect for the summer). My favorite Thai restaurant in this neighborhood.
(5)Phil B.
Great place for vegans. We had salad rolls (peanut-plum sauce was excellent), Kang Keaw Wan (green curry) with tofu, and Angel Eggplant w/tofu. The veggies were fresh and tasty and their flavor shined through. The service was attentive and courteous. We'll be back.
(5)Katie R.
Love this place! Their food is consistently delicious and I have yet to try something that I don't love! Great service and always timely! This has be own one of my favorite spots!
(5)Sam H.
Maybe it's because it is a very short walk from my place. But I find myself here frequently. But maybe it's also the fact that Thai Noodle serves delicious portions of food at great prices. Me and my wife have worked through a sizable amount of the menu here, very little is disagreeable. My favourite is probably the basil chili dish (I forget the actual thai name of the dish) but the Beef Skewers are a close second. Waitstaff are normally very friendly and helpful, no complaints there either. They also have a great seating area outside too.
(5)Jared W.
A great place to get some Thai food in the north west. The people who work there are helpful and very kind. The food is also great. They will cook it to any spice level you desire. They will also accommodate to you're vegetarian desires. Worth checking out.
(4)Roger B.
Both the Tom Yum soup and the grilled beef are rich with flavor.
(4)Ray R.
Went a couple weeks ago, and really didn't expect much - was always sour that Cameo Cafe was gone and there is no more Typhoon. I was extremely happy with my decision to finally eat here. Amazingly great service, I felt like everyone working was the owner and really cared! I had such a great experience that I figured I'd pick up take-out a week later. I didn't call in my order, and again was amazed how fast they got the meal ready. I'll be eating here often:)
(5)Jessica N.
Let me preface this review by saying I'm not a big fan of Thai food. Pros: - Nice outdoor seating area - Clean and organized - Menu had lots of options Cons: - Waitress was inattentive - The duck in my duck fried rice was not well trimmed and kind of gross. I know I'm picky about my meat, but I don't like eating slices of meat that are half fat. I ended up picking most of the meat out of the dish.
(2)Thilo W.
Solid newer Thai place in the Alphabet District. Have gotten takeout for the family twice and everything has been very good. Drunken noodles were my personal favorite so far, but everything has been solid. A nice addition to the neighborhood.
(4)Ben O.
My wife and I had dinner here tonight and I felt compelled to leave a review. Very friendly staff, great tasting fresh Thai food and better yet- a very good value. They have only been open for a month but I think they should prepare to be very busy. I will be back for sure!
(5)Tom D.
It's pretty good Thai, just don't order all at once or you will be given everything at one time. The Chicken Won Ton's are good, most noodle dishes are ok too. Service is always prompt and food is hot.
(4)J. P.
I've eaten here several times as it is close to my office. My wife and I ordered take out there today 2 Pad Thais, one Pork, one Tofu. When I opened the box it didn't look normal. I decided to eat it anyway. The taste matched the look. Something obviously wasn't right with it. It tasted as if maybe the meat had gone bad. The problem with that is that the Tofu option tasted the same. We called the store to let them know and they were less than helpful. They offered no solution and were not polite on the phone. Sorry to say that after frequenting this place many times we will not be going back.
(1)Ivan D.
Friendly nice people, food with wonderful flavor (pad prik khing with beef and salad rolls) and great prices.
(4)Amanda K.
* If it isn't blatantly obvious per my other reviews around town, I've got a massive boner for Thai food. It's my absolute fave cuisine! So I've been on a personal mission to tear through all the hot Thai eateries PDX has to offer. Khao Soy has secured their place in my top 5!! DELICIOUS. ADDICTING. NOT AFRAID OF CUSTOM ORDERS. I'm also stoked to have found a Thai place in NW, close to my house. Normally I have to hike over to SE or Beaverton for amazing Asian food. If you're a Drunken Noodles junkie like me, your fix is here. Savory, umami flavor explosion with any level of spice you'd prefer. Huge portions too; I couldn't even finish my lunch size. Salad rolls? Crunchy and delicious. Quick service; friendly people. Yep. No negatives to report on this place. Give it a shot if you're in the Nob Hill area! **EDIT: fun fact! Delivered Dish is partnered with this place! Now you can have fresh Thai food without even worrying about parking in this neighborhood.
(4)Ali S.
My first review on Yelp, and I'm so sad to write it! The last three times I've gotten food here have been so disappointing. Today I called in an order. They told me it'd be 15 minutes. I showed up 17 minutes later and they had no record of my order at all. Weird and a bummer but they put my order in again. I ordered lightly spicy yellow curry with potatoes and green beans. I got yellow curry with potatoes, broccoli, carrots, and cabbage - and lots of spice (which was fine, I can handle it). What pushed me over the edge were the 3 black stringy hairs in my food I found - I continued eating after hair number 2 because I really wanted to like it. Hair 3 was over the line. Last time I went my pad woon sen was very over seasoned and my mate's pad thai was sopping wet with sauce (?) to the point she couldn't eat it. Time before that the papaya salad smelled like something was rotten in it, so my boyfriend threw it out. Service is kind and friendly here; the food has been disappointing. I won't be back but hope you have a better experience than me!
(1)Hao S.
first time be here and already become our top 5 Thai restaurants around! quite authentic taste and spices they use here; everything taste great and fresh. definitely will come back again.
(4)Ken H.
I've eaten here at least 6 times and the food is always Great! My favorite is the Thai Frog Legs, they are just perfect and flavorful.
(5)Sierra A.
I just ordered the papaya salad with tofu... I've had it a million times and loved it! It's terrible! Too much garlic and the tofu has no flavor. New cook?!
(1)Betty W.
This restaurant is still there, same owners n staff, but the name changed because there is another restaurant in Beaverton with the same name. The new name was K....something. Sorry, forgot. But we went in despite the absence of a store sign anywhere on the building. Just trying our luck. We ordered Pineapple Chicken Fried Rice, Chicken Drunken Noodles and Beef Pad Thai. They were DELICIOUS!!! We are from L.A. and have had our share of Thai food to know what is Quality. You won't be disappointed!
(5)Allen K.
After eating here 10 times I think I've finally put my finger on what the "etc" in Thai Noodle Etc means. Crack cocaine. It's the only explanation. All those sleepless nights craving their delicious noodles finally makes sense! Joking aside, this is one of the best Thai restaurants (of the many many options) in Portland. I don't usually like to frequent the same place so often but once I started eating here I was hooked. I don't see any reason why I would want to try other Thai places in the area because it just won't live up to the same flavors as Thai Noodle. My favorites are the Pad Kee Mao (drunken noodles), the Pad See Ew, and the Green Curry. I really enjoy the crunch of the coconut shrimp as well. In my experience, the noodles have never been dry or bland and always with the right amount of moist sauciness that I expect from good Thai noodle dishes. I will say they are a bit conservative on the spice though. Even when I request "spicy" I end up adding a bit of extra spice to my dish. Service is also fast/friendly and ordering is a snap whether by phone, in person or online. I made myself hungry now, time to get my fix and order up some noodles! (No really, I'm calling right now).
(5)Heather F.
After over a year of regular patronage (wow! time flies!) it's really about time to update my review. I take out from here approximately once per week (law school, don't judge), and I have never once been disappointed. They always give a 15 minute estimate, and my food is always ready on time. I am greeted with a smile every time I go in. After living in Portland for a while, I've come to realize that these things are not guaranteed. Prompt and courteous service aren't always the norm here (especially the prompt part). Call me impatient, but I really appreciate efficiency. Next, and most importantly, the food is amazing. It's a standard Thai menu, and I have yet to be let down by an order. My personal favorites are chiang mai noodles, pad se ew, and pad kee mao. The salad rolls with peanut sauce are also quite incredible. Basically, you can't go wrong. If you have a standard Thai order (pad thai, curry, etc.) order that. There's a very good chance it will be the best one you've had in Portland.
(5)Hungrylone W.
I had such high expectations for this place, it looks so nice. First of all the prices that are listed on the website are not accurate. The item we ordered said it was $8.25 on the website when I came to pick it up it they charged me $9.50. I find this practice to be kind of shady. As for the actual food, it wasn't that great either. Very dry and lack luster.
(2)Jay P.
Ordered some dry tasteless pad Thai once before but gave them the benefit of the doubt and tried again out of convenience... ordered drunken noodle and I'm pretty sure they used Ground beef... Not the usual cuts of beef like the rest of the normal world does! This isn't hamburger helper and I'm highly weirded out! Flavor and everything else were fine, nothing to write home about tho. I don't mean to offend but this restaurant has some things to work out & until then I won't be back.
(2)Alex B.
Yes two stars. I started having high expectations and started them with 5 stars when we first sat down but as the night progressed the stars just faded away. Let's start with the service. There were only two servers on a busy night therefore it affected how long our orders were taken and the accuracy of our orders. (More on that later.) Now for the food. The Tom yum soup that was served in the firebowl was cold. When serving hot soup, please make sure it is hot, not warm, H-O-T. Other thai restaurants I go to have fire in the middle of their "firebowl", they did not. Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. (smh). My Thai Fried Rice was messed up and they gave me the second one on the list (Khao Pad Kra Prao) which we wouldn't have minded (really) but that one was just too spicy (and that was the only difference between one and two). I ordered a non-spicy fried rice (Khao Pad) for a reason. Their quality control really went out the window tonight. Well, for all the good reasons, we are not coming back here but I would ask you to try it at least once because, (aside from the food being good) your experience may be different than ours.
(2)Pat L.
Love the fact that you can always count on this restaurant serving fresh good quality and consistent food. Every dish I've had has been delicious! My favorite on a cold evening is the ba-mee-moo-dang-bbq-pork-with-egg-noodles.
(5)Thomas M.
Great pricing and delicious food. Thai is a weekly occurrence for me and this is one of Portland's best. The Thai ice tea is great for any summer afternoon.
(4)Mara H.
This place is pretty high in the rankings on my "best pad thai in Portland" list. Their peanut sauce is also delicious, and I'm also a big fan of their coconut prawns. If you're a fan of Thai food and you're in the NW neighborhood, this is definitely a place to check out. The ambiance is also pleasant, so if you're looking for a place to dine in rather than getting take-out, this is a great choice. The one thing I was a bit disappointed with was their tom yum soup. The onions and ginger in it seemed to have been added rather late in the cooking process, so while the soup was overall quite mild, creamy, and coconutty, it also had big chunks of undercooked onion and ginger in it, which overpowered the subtle flavors of the soup (and probably did a number on my breath, especially the nearly-raw onions). Other than that, I've had nothing but positive experiences there! Definitely check out their pad thai if you're a fan, and try it with the peanut sauce -- it's delicious!
(4)Jade A.
So far, the most authentic Thai place I've tried! Their food is simply delicious! Would definitely go back again. It's a cute little restaurant and the service was spot on. A lot of Thai places I've tried does not know the spice control but this place does. I like mild, so far this place knows what I'm talking about when I tell them.
(5)Mahsa K.
Discovering the shops of the "prestigious NW 23rd neighborhood" seemed like a good idea in the morning. A short walk later we were chilled down to our bones. There among the beckoning display windows of Pottery Barn and Restoration Hardware we saw the sign on the side walk, just around the corner, Thai Noodle Etc awaited our arrival. Up the corner, slightly uphill we went, the house-converted restaurant welcomed us with wafting smells of spices and sweetness. We walked in and saw other tables served with piping hot (insert whatever dish here) and all we thought was I want.... like Zombies with brains, well, on the brain... we also had only one thing on the brain... warmth. First thing we ordered was nice warm bowl of soup: Tom Kha with veggies. That hit the spot, the flavors were great, but one thing... I wish they left the tomatoes out of the soup. We had a choice to order a small or a large, and we went with a small bowl, so the big chunks of hothouse tomatoes with the warm skin slowly peeling off was cumbersome to scoop around. My husband ordered fresh garden rolls and curry-pineapple friend rice with chicken which he loved. It smelled amazing... those onions, curry and pepper were exactly the notes that drew us in the first place. I ordered pad see ew with tofu because all I really cared about was getting a warm soup belly so I figured a common dish was probably quick and safe. It was, it was fairly safe. It was tasty, but not my favorite. It didn't taste bad, just not as flavorful as my soup or my husband's rice dish... the cook had topped my dish with a lot of table-not even course ground-black pepper which I'm not used to seeing on pad see ew. I think some of the flavors were lacking so they tried spicing it back up that way... didn't completely work, but it was good enough. The restroom was a single stall, but big and clean. The staff was nice. I think I even spied a full bar. I might come back if I'm in the area... for soup, hold tomatoes please.
(3)Peggy D.
Unfortunately they have changed their pad Thai recipe, and it now tastes like thick syrup. Awful decision. I'm bummed.
(2)Amado L.
By my palette and after only one visit, I can say without any doubt that I'm definitely a fan. For those who've had the pleasure of hearing my tirade over the merits of Thai restaurants based solely on their execution of the simple Pad Thai, I deem this one's version super tasty. I also appreciate that their "medium" spice setting is indeed at that point where each bite has just enough heat to awaken the tongue. (At other Thai restaurants, I've had to either douse the medium spice Pad Thai with lime juice to lessen the intensity or ask the staff to bring me the spice condiment jars on account of the dish lacking heat.) That I didn't have to do anything to this meal is a treat. The fried tofu as a starter was also delectable. Big ups to not burning the roof of my mouth on the first bite. I'll definitely be back. If only to give them an opportunity to gain that 5th star. :)

I should have said "Thai hot". The portion size was great though, for $7.95. The Pad kee mao was excellent; lots of tofu, veggies, and the noodles were super wide, and thin. I also tried the green curry which was delicious. The curry had a strong lemongrass flavor that I really liked. Will definitely check them out again if I'm in the neighborhood and hankering for some yummy Thai food!

Thai Noodle is doing it right. Their food always comes out fresh and the sauces are so flavorful! I've been twice and have enjoyed the fresh rolls with peanut plum sauce (an absolute must!), the cashew nut tofu stir fry and pad see ew with tofu. The cashew nut sauce is so rich and complex, one of the best versions of this dish I've had. I also appreciate that they slice their tofu in strips and possibly freeze it before frying, it has a nice texture. The lunch portions are only $7 and provide enough food for leftovers. Service has been friendly and the food comes out quick; the space is small but they have a large outdoor patio and deliver. Thai Noodle is our new thai spot in our neighborhood.

(4)Eric F.
The food is tasty and generally priced correctly. The location is very nice, especially when the sun shines and one can sit outside. The service, however, leaves much to be desired. All the staff are trying hard and I commend them for their efforts, but there is a confusion as to who is doing what. I would guess that few of them have previous restaurant experience. Perhaps the most grievous broach of etiquette occurred when the waiter asked if we wanted beverages. I was with my wife and two kids. We try to limit the sugar intake for our kids so we usually don't allow them lemonade or soda with dinner. The kids are unhappy with this policy and an argument often arises around it. So when the waiter asked about drinks I told him we would all be drinking water with dinner. He persisted, "Are you sure? We have lemonade and soda for the kids?" Luckily we escaped the kids starting up but a server should never push like that.

SOUR FOOD. STAFF DOESN'T CARE. DON'T EAT HERE. Just tried this place for the first time today. My husband goes here because he works close by. We both ordered the Pad Thai and at the first bite, we knew it wasn't right. It tasted sour, like it had gone bad. I had tofu and he had pork and neither of us could eat a 2nd bite. I called and told them and they were extremely rude and not helpful. Stating "I don't know what you want me to do about it" and suggested we walk the food back up to the restaurant so the kitchen could inspect it. At this point we were not able to return to the restaurant because of our schedules. I reminded the man that I wasn't calling to solve the mystery food, I was calling to inform them of bad food being served, hopefully avoiding illness to others and to get our money back. He said he couldn't give me my money back, but "if I gave him my number, the owner MIGHT call me back, IF SHE FEELS LIKE IT." Wow.

I was dying for Thai food when I came to Portland and my family recommended this place. I was very concerned due to the shabbiness of the outside, but they always say that relates to the authenticity of the food! The service was decent and the chefs drunken noodles were drool-worthy. My friend ordered the fried rice which was ok but I was VERY oily. Trust me, I like some oil but it was drenched. The seating was also weird due to out the layout of the building was but it didn't stop our server from frequently checking in on us. I'm definitely coming back for takeout and delivery but i wouldn't come for a nice sit down dinner.

Beautiful space & kind, efficient staff, but my food was underwhelming. Ordered Pad Kee Mao which is a dish I normally love (& have tried many places). This was the worst. A pile of overcooked / disintegrating rice noodles, surrounded by chunks of raw vegetables... raw tomato, onion, bell pepper. Seemed like the ingredients were just added to the wok in the wrong order. Strange...this is so basic, but big fail. Disappointing & I can't see returning when there's so much good Thai in town.
(2)Margaretha Q.
The terrace is pretty nice, but I don't really like the interior, kind of dull and shady. My food (I ordered the seafood noodle soup) taste like made from frozen stuffs and instant paste, but my friends' satay and noodle were all good.

* If it isn't blatantly obvious per my other reviews around town, I've got a massive boner for Thai food. It's my absolute fave cuisine! So I've been on a personal mission to tear through all the hot Thai eateries PDX has to offer. Khao Soy has secured their place in my top 5!! DELICIOUS. ADDICTING. NOT AFRAID OF CUSTOM ORDERS. I'm also stoked to have found a Thai place in NW, close to my house. Normally I have to hike over to SE or Beaverton for amazing Asian food. If you're a Drunken Noodles junkie like me, your fix is here. Savory, umami flavor explosion with any level of spice you'd prefer. Huge portions too; I couldn't even finish my lunch size. Salad rolls? Crunchy and delicious. Quick service; friendly people. Yep. No negatives to report on this place. Give it a shot if you're in the Nob Hill area! **EDIT: fun fact! Delivered Dish is partnered with this place! Now you can have fresh Thai food without even worrying about parking in this neighborhood.

My first review on Yelp, and I'm so sad to write it! The last three times I've gotten food here have been so disappointing. Today I called in an order. They told me it'd be 15 minutes. I showed up 17 minutes later and they had no record of my order at all. Weird and a bummer but they put my order in again. I ordered lightly spicy yellow curry with potatoes and green beans. I got yellow curry with potatoes, broccoli, carrots, and cabbage - and lots of spice (which was fine, I can handle it). What pushed me over the edge were the 3 black stringy hairs in my food I found - I continued eating after hair number 2 because I really wanted to like it. Hair 3 was over the line. Last time I went my pad woon sen was very over seasoned and my mate's pad thai was sopping wet with sauce (?) to the point she couldn't eat it. Time before that the papaya salad smelled like something was rotten in it, so my boyfriend threw it out. Service is kind and friendly here; the food has been disappointing. I won't be back but hope you have a better experience than me!
(1)Hao S.
first time be here and already become our top 5 Thai restaurants around! quite authentic taste and spices they use here; everything taste great and fresh. definitely will come back again.
(4)Ken H.
I've eaten here at least 6 times and the food is always Great! My favorite is the Thai Frog Legs, they are just perfect and flavorful.
(5)Sierra A.
I just ordered the papaya salad with tofu... I've had it a million times and loved it! It's terrible! Too much garlic and the tofu has no flavor. New cook?!
(1)Betty W.
This restaurant is still there, same owners n staff, but the name changed because there is another restaurant in Beaverton with the same name. The new name was K....something. Sorry, forgot. But we went in despite the absence of a store sign anywhere on the building. Just trying our luck. We ordered Pineapple Chicken Fried Rice, Chicken Drunken Noodles and Beef Pad Thai. They were DELICIOUS!!! We are from L.A. and have had our share of Thai food to know what is Quality. You won't be disappointed!
(5)T W.
Loved the pork pad kee mao. I've tried this dish at over 50 different Thai restaurants, from Bangkok to London, from Phuket to Portland. I'd say this place makes one of my favorite versions. They have the basics down: using wide rice noodles (surprising how many places try to pass off the thin rice noodles for this dish), onion, red and green sweet peppers, fresh basil (could have used a little more). The vegetables were nice and crunchy, a nice contrast to the soft noodles. I really liked the way the pork was chopped up small or put through a very coarse grinder. It picked up the flavor of the spices better than sliced pork. I had it served medium spicy which was just the right amount of heat for me. I like to feel some heat but not so hot that it overwhelms the flavors of dish. Service was fast, efficient, and checked multiple times if everything was all right. I definitely will go back.
(4)Allen K.
After eating here 10 times I think I've finally put my finger on what the "etc" in Thai Noodle Etc means. Crack cocaine. It's the only explanation. All those sleepless nights craving their delicious noodles finally makes sense! Joking aside, this is one of the best Thai restaurants (of the many many options) in Portland. I don't usually like to frequent the same place so often but once I started eating here I was hooked. I don't see any reason why I would want to try other Thai places in the area because it just won't live up to the same flavors as Thai Noodle. My favorites are the Pad Kee Mao (drunken noodles), the Pad See Ew, and the Green Curry. I really enjoy the crunch of the coconut shrimp as well. In my experience, the noodles have never been dry or bland and always with the right amount of moist sauciness that I expect from good Thai noodle dishes. I will say they are a bit conservative on the spice though. Even when I request "spicy" I end up adding a bit of extra spice to my dish. Service is also fast/friendly and ordering is a snap whether by phone, in person or online. I made myself hungry now, time to get my fix and order up some noodles! (No really, I'm calling right now).
(5)Heather F.
After over a year of regular patronage (wow! time flies!) it's really about time to update my review. I take out from here approximately once per week (law school, don't judge), and I have never once been disappointed. They always give a 15 minute estimate, and my food is always ready on time. I am greeted with a smile every time I go in. After living in Portland for a while, I've come to realize that these things are not guaranteed. Prompt and courteous service aren't always the norm here (especially the prompt part). Call me impatient, but I really appreciate efficiency. Next, and most importantly, the food is amazing. It's a standard Thai menu, and I have yet to be let down by an order. My personal favorites are chiang mai noodles, pad se ew, and pad kee mao. The salad rolls with peanut sauce are also quite incredible. Basically, you can't go wrong. If you have a standard Thai order (pad thai, curry, etc.) order that. There's a very good chance it will be the best one you've had in Portland.
(5)Hungrylone W.
I had such high expectations for this place, it looks so nice. First of all the prices that are listed on the website are not accurate. The item we ordered said it was $8.25 on the website when I came to pick it up it they charged me $9.50. I find this practice to be kind of shady. As for the actual food, it wasn't that great either. Very dry and lack luster.
(2)Jay P.
Ordered some dry tasteless pad Thai once before but gave them the benefit of the doubt and tried again out of convenience... ordered drunken noodle and I'm pretty sure they used Ground beef... Not the usual cuts of beef like the rest of the normal world does! This isn't hamburger helper and I'm highly weirded out! Flavor and everything else were fine, nothing to write home about tho. I don't mean to offend but this restaurant has some things to work out & until then I won't be back.
(2)Alex B.
Yes two stars. I started having high expectations and started them with 5 stars when we first sat down but as the night progressed the stars just faded away. Let's start with the service. There were only two servers on a busy night therefore it affected how long our orders were taken and the accuracy of our orders. (More on that later.) Now for the food. The Tom yum soup that was served in the firebowl was cold. When serving hot soup, please make sure it is hot, not warm, H-O-T. Other thai restaurants I go to have fire in the middle of their "firebowl", they did not. Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. (smh). My Thai Fried Rice was messed up and they gave me the second one on the list (Khao Pad Kra Prao) which we wouldn't have minded (really) but that one was just too spicy (and that was the only difference between one and two). I ordered a non-spicy fried rice (Khao Pad) for a reason. Their quality control really went out the window tonight. Well, for all the good reasons, we are not coming back here but I would ask you to try it at least once because, (aside from the food being good) your experience may be different than ours.
(2)Pat L.
Love the fact that you can always count on this restaurant serving fresh good quality and consistent food. Every dish I've had has been delicious! My favorite on a cold evening is the ba-mee-moo-dang-bbq-pork-with-egg-noodles.
(5)Thomas M.
Great pricing and delicious food. Thai is a weekly occurrence for me and this is one of Portland's best. The Thai ice tea is great for any summer afternoon.
(4)Mara H.
This place is pretty high in the rankings on my "best pad thai in Portland" list. Their peanut sauce is also delicious, and I'm also a big fan of their coconut prawns. If you're a fan of Thai food and you're in the NW neighborhood, this is definitely a place to check out. The ambiance is also pleasant, so if you're looking for a place to dine in rather than getting take-out, this is a great choice. The one thing I was a bit disappointed with was their tom yum soup. The onions and ginger in it seemed to have been added rather late in the cooking process, so while the soup was overall quite mild, creamy, and coconutty, it also had big chunks of undercooked onion and ginger in it, which overpowered the subtle flavors of the soup (and probably did a number on my breath, especially the nearly-raw onions). Other than that, I've had nothing but positive experiences there! Definitely check out their pad thai if you're a fan, and try it with the peanut sauce -- it's delicious!
(4)Jade A.
So far, the most authentic Thai place I've tried! Their food is simply delicious! Would definitely go back again. It's a cute little restaurant and the service was spot on. A lot of Thai places I've tried does not know the spice control but this place does. I like mild, so far this place knows what I'm talking about when I tell them.
(5)Mahsa K.
Discovering the shops of the "prestigious NW 23rd neighborhood" seemed like a good idea in the morning. A short walk later we were chilled down to our bones. There among the beckoning display windows of Pottery Barn and Restoration Hardware we saw the sign on the side walk, just around the corner, Thai Noodle Etc awaited our arrival. Up the corner, slightly uphill we went, the house-converted restaurant welcomed us with wafting smells of spices and sweetness. We walked in and saw other tables served with piping hot (insert whatever dish here) and all we thought was I want.... like Zombies with brains, well, on the brain... we also had only one thing on the brain... warmth. First thing we ordered was nice warm bowl of soup: Tom Kha with veggies. That hit the spot, the flavors were great, but one thing... I wish they left the tomatoes out of the soup. We had a choice to order a small or a large, and we went with a small bowl, so the big chunks of hothouse tomatoes with the warm skin slowly peeling off was cumbersome to scoop around. My husband ordered fresh garden rolls and curry-pineapple friend rice with chicken which he loved. It smelled amazing... those onions, curry and pepper were exactly the notes that drew us in the first place. I ordered pad see ew with tofu because all I really cared about was getting a warm soup belly so I figured a common dish was probably quick and safe. It was, it was fairly safe. It was tasty, but not my favorite. It didn't taste bad, just not as flavorful as my soup or my husband's rice dish... the cook had topped my dish with a lot of table-not even course ground-black pepper which I'm not used to seeing on pad see ew. I think some of the flavors were lacking so they tried spicing it back up that way... didn't completely work, but it was good enough. The restroom was a single stall, but big and clean. The staff was nice. I think I even spied a full bar. I might come back if I'm in the area... for soup, hold tomatoes please.
(3)Peggy D.
Unfortunately they have changed their pad Thai recipe, and it now tastes like thick syrup. Awful decision. I'm bummed.
(2)Amado L.
By my palette and after only one visit, I can say without any doubt that I'm definitely a fan. For those who've had the pleasure of hearing my tirade over the merits of Thai restaurants based solely on their execution of the simple Pad Thai, I deem this one's version super tasty. I also appreciate that their "medium" spice setting is indeed at that point where each bite has just enough heat to awaken the tongue. (At other Thai restaurants, I've had to either douse the medium spice Pad Thai with lime juice to lessen the intensity or ask the staff to bring me the spice condiment jars on account of the dish lacking heat.) That I didn't have to do anything to this meal is a treat. The fried tofu as a starter was also delectable. Big ups to not burning the roof of my mouth on the first bite. I'll definitely be back. If only to give them an opportunity to gain that 5th star. :)
(4)p.c. m.
Freshest, most flavorful thai food I've had in Portland, and truly sweet staff members. The sweet and sour soup was complex and fabulous.
(5)Sam P.
I am here for the first time and was greeted as soon as I walked in and seated promptly. Not that busy for a Tuesday afternoon (around 2:20) it seems, which is great. I ordered the Jasmine tea and for my entree the BBQ pork & crispy pork with rice. I also was directly across from the TV so I had some mild entertainment despite not being a big sports fan. My food arrived quickly and it was very tasty :) although the crispy pork was not what I expected and perhaps a little too crispy, it wasn't bad. The BBQ pork and the rice were drizzled on this sweet red sauce and came with some hard boiled eggs and cucumber slices. All in all I am very satisfied and enjoyed the atmosphere.
(4)Ira G.
All their food is really good and prices and hours are reasonable. The Beef Salad and Papaya Salad are my favorites and the Sausage Fried Rice is also great. They have beer and wine. There is a bike rack and a nice deck outside (perfect for the summer). My favorite Thai restaurant in this neighborhood.
(5)Phil B.
Great place for vegans. We had salad rolls (peanut-plum sauce was excellent), Kang Keaw Wan (green curry) with tofu, and Angel Eggplant w/tofu. The veggies were fresh and tasty and their flavor shined through. The service was attentive and courteous. We'll be back.
(5)Katie R.
Love this place! Their food is consistently delicious and I have yet to try something that I don't love! Great service and always timely! This has be own one of my favorite spots!
(5)Curtis C.
Tried this place based off of the Yelp reviews, and I was not let down! I always try the papaya salad, and the pad kee mao when I go to a new Thai restaurant. For me, they help ID if they can nail down the basics or not. The papaya salad was delicious, although considering we ordered it "hot", it was not as spicy as I would have liked. I should have said "Thai hot". The portion size was great though, for $7.95. The Pad kee mao was excellent; lots of tofu, veggies, and the noodles were super wide, and thin. I also tried the green curry which was delicious. The curry had a strong lemongrass flavor that I really liked. Will definitely check them out again if I'm in the neighborhood and hankering for some yummy Thai food!
(4)Phyllis S.
My favourite Thai restaurant on the West side! Fresh, fast, crisp, perfect. We've been bringing friends and family here many times. Everyone has loved this place, every time!
(4)Ken H.
This place has so many great dishes. You can take your pick of the meau and wont find a bad dish, execpt one. Between my wife and I we have had over 1/2 the menu. We never walked away disappointed. I would rate the food at 4.5 out of 5.0. Only downer is the Pad Thai which is too sweet and lacks veggies.
(4)Jed S.
With so many choices for Thai, it is rare that a restaurant stands out. In this area I would normally recommend Red Onion, but Thai Noodle is exceptionally delicious.
(5)Cori W.
Thai Noodle is doing it right. Their food always comes out fresh and the sauces are so flavorful! I've been twice and have enjoyed the fresh rolls with peanut plum sauce (an absolute must!), the cashew nut tofu stir fry and pad see ew with tofu. The cashew nut sauce is so rich and complex, one of the best versions of this dish I've had. I also appreciate that they slice their tofu in strips and possibly freeze it before frying, it has a nice texture. The lunch portions are only $7 and provide enough food for leftovers. Service has been friendly and the food comes out quick; the space is small but they have a large outdoor patio and deliver. Thai Noodle is our new thai spot in our neighborhood.
(4)Prima B.
Food was ok. Not too impressed. Two servers for a very busy night. I might try this place again.
(3)Fong Y.
Not that bad of a place. Pak kee mao was pretty good, a bit oily but pretty good. The thai boat noodle was also not too bad. I'd definitely come again, just don't like the fact that it's hard to find parking. From what I've been able to see. If they restaurant can make a decent pad thai then they're a pretty good place to try. I was surprised when the waitress didn't ask how spicy we would like our dishes. But it wasn't that big of a deal. Food still came out in a timely order. Now for my actual opinion. It's a bit on the sweet side. I had fried rice, pad thai, and pak kee mao today and all had more of a sweet side to them. I've had authentic Thai dishes before and they are more on the spicy side which I love. If you're into Thai food but don't want the spiciness that they usually have in authentic Thai dishes then this place is for you. I will return if they do offer a spicier dish that is not as sweet. Until the next time.
(4)Janelle J.
I love this place! Always good friendly service. In the summer they have a great outdoor patio. I normally order the Pad Thai with a side of peanut sauce. Their peanut sauce is to die for! Also their salad rolls and yellow curry and delicious!
(5)Jessica G.
The food at this location is better than the food at the Beaverton location. I got take out and it was really good also loved that the food came in compostable/reusable containers. Ordered "spicy" and was pleasantly surprised that it was in fact very spicy! Patio looks nice.
(4)Wesley B.
I very much enjoyed the shrimp with yellow curry, the staff was friendly and helpful. I'll half to come back again.
(3)Soroya M.
I came to thai noodle to get Salad rolls and Pad Thai they were disgusting and the peanut sauce was horrible! I will NOT be going back. And I don't recommend anyone to this place.
(2)Erica B.
I came here on my birthday, no reservations, walked in with a group of ten, and asked if they had any availability (not like it was packed or has a lot of space, no offense). The guy who greeted us was awesome, he got my group a table in no time. We all sat and the menu looked great (this is only my 2nd time here). I got the paid thai and some soup, my friends got an array of different dishes and it was all fantastic. If there were leftovers they were going to be eaten that night. :). As we were paying the waiter was able to split the check separately, totally awesome move there dude, and we were all good to go. Overall, I really enjoy this place for it only being my second time. Each time was really nice, great good, and it's good for a date or something! Go nuts!
(4)MirMack M.
Great outdoor patio. The pad see ew was really good.
(4)James O.
Solid thai in a good location. I live 2 blocks away so I'm always here. It's good, cheap, and fast. The chiang Mai noodle is excellent. Pad se ew and pad thai are also very good. Also the drunken noodle.
(4)Sam H.
Maybe it's because it is a very short walk from my place. But I find myself here frequently. But maybe it's also the fact that Thai Noodle serves delicious portions of food at great prices. Me and my wife have worked through a sizable amount of the menu here, very little is disagreeable. My favourite is probably the basil chili dish (I forget the actual thai name of the dish) but the Beef Skewers are a close second. Waitstaff are normally very friendly and helpful, no complaints there either. They also have a great seating area outside too.
(5)Jenni D.
I could eat Thai food all day every day, so you can imagine my choices living here in Portland - they are a plenty. Thai Noodle Etc. was on my list once they crossed over from the 'burbs. The Pad Thai was average, but lacked a certain sense of flavor (needed more spice?). The Green Curry was probably the best on the menu, with plenty of flavor and perfectly cooked rice. There were several places to sit, and we got stuck in a corner by the door. It wasn't the ideal location for service, and the fruit flies seemed to find us attractive. Kind of disappointing for a girls dinner-date...
(3)Aarun C.
Good coconut shrimp, but I tend to like the frozen kind... Flavorless pad Thai and peanut sauce.
(2)Graham W.
It's a Thia in a mall so we weren't expecting great things. Pros - food is pretty good! Prices good. Cons - location. The one thing that would have got this tons 4 star would be service. Happy hr was 3-6pm for half price appetizers. We arrived at 5.58pm but it took 10 mins to come to our table. By then I asked is happy hour still on? Nope its over :) a bit of customer service here and aknowledgment of the fact we were there before 6pm would have got a 4 star. So no biggy. It costs us about $10 extra but hey... I recommend this place and will go again
(3)Justin B.
Food was tasty & fast, service good and staff polite.
(5)Jared W.
A great place to get some Thai food in the north west. The people who work there are helpful and very kind. The food is also great. They will cook it to any spice level you desire. They will also accommodate to you're vegetarian desires. Worth checking out.
(4)Roger B.
Both the Tom Yum soup and the grilled beef are rich with flavor.
(4)Robert M.
My son and I took his mother here for Mother's Day. He had been here before and raved about the food. However, the restaurant has changed the name to, Khao Soy. The food is NOT good at all. New cook. The Angel Wings, just chicken wings thrown in a deep fryer with no seasonings, and served on a spoonful of sweet chili sauce. OVERCOOKED! The Wonton appetizer, a fingernail of, I don't know what, deep fried. BLAND! The Pineapple Fried Rice with pork, a gooey mess,with a glob of yellow curry. There were 6 in our party, and everyone was disappointed to say the least. My wife and son are Thai, so it's not that we don't know Thai food. My wife's cooking is 100's of times better. And, when the check arrived, they automatically added an 18% tip. There is nothing on the menu that describes this practice. The wait staff were fantastic, and friendly, and apologetic. If you want a true taste of Thai, this is NOT it. Needless to say, I will not return.
(1)Meghan P.
This is the best Thai I have had since I found a restraint near my graduate school. I love Thai food however, my husband could take it out leave it. We ordered the chicken pot stickers and pad see eew. It was delicious and my husband even finished mine! Wish I could take this place back to the suburbs of Chicago!
(5)Ray R.
Went a couple weeks ago, and really didn't expect much - was always sour that Cameo Cafe was gone and there is no more Typhoon. I was extremely happy with my decision to finally eat here. Amazingly great service, I felt like everyone working was the owner and really cared! I had such a great experience that I figured I'd pick up take-out a week later. I didn't call in my order, and again was amazed how fast they got the meal ready. I'll be eating here often:)
(5)Eric F.
The food is tasty and generally priced correctly. The location is very nice, especially when the sun shines and one can sit outside. The service, however, leaves much to be desired. All the staff are trying hard and I commend them for their efforts, but there is a confusion as to who is doing what. I would guess that few of them have previous restaurant experience. Perhaps the most grievous broach of etiquette occurred when the waiter asked if we wanted beverages. I was with my wife and two kids. We try to limit the sugar intake for our kids so we usually don't allow them lemonade or soda with dinner. The kids are unhappy with this policy and an argument often arises around it. So when the waiter asked about drinks I told him we would all be drinking water with dinner. He persisted, "Are you sure? We have lemonade and soda for the kids?" Luckily we escaped the kids starting up but a server should never push like that.

A pile of overcooked / disintegrating rice noodles, surrounded by chunks of raw vegetables... raw tomato, onion, bell pepper.

(2)Jessica N.
Let me preface this review by saying I'm not a big fan of Thai food. Pros: - Nice outdoor seating area - Clean and organized - Menu had lots of options Cons: - Waitress was inattentive - The duck in my duck fried rice was not well trimmed and kind of gross. I know I'm picky about my meat, but I don't like eating slices of meat that are half fat. I ended up picking most of the meat out of the dish.
(2)Thilo W.
Solid newer Thai place in the Alphabet District. Have gotten takeout for the family twice and everything has been very good. Drunken noodles were my personal favorite so far, but everything has been solid. A nice addition to the neighborhood.
(4)Ben O.
My wife and I had dinner here tonight and I felt compelled to leave a review. Very friendly staff, great tasting fresh Thai food and better yet- a very good value. They have only been open for a month but I think they should prepare to be very busy. I will be back for sure!
(5)Tom D.
It's pretty good Thai, just don't order all at once or you will be given everything at one time. The Chicken Won Ton's are good, most noodle dishes are ok too. Service is always prompt and food is hot.
(4)J. P.
I've eaten here several times as it is close to my office. My wife and I ordered take out there today 2 Pad Thais, one Pork, one Tofu. When I opened the box it didn't look normal. I decided to eat it anyway. The taste matched the look. Something obviously wasn't right with it. It tasted as if maybe the meat had gone bad. The problem with that is that the Tofu option tasted the same. We called the store to let them know and they were less than helpful. They offered no solution and were not polite on the phone. Sorry to say that after frequenting this place many times we will not be going back.
(1)Ivan D.
Friendly nice people, food with wonderful flavor (pad prik khing with beef and salad rolls) and great prices.
(4)Tera M.
This place has a ton of seating inside and out and great food. The wait staff is super sweet and they have an AMAZING hot chili sauce that is house made. Highly recommended.
(5)Angela L.
Ok I have sat down to eat here three times now. SUCH GOOD SERVICE! Prompt, polite, and servers and super friendly and knowledgable about the menu. Super cool arrangement inside an older house.
(5)Gwen J.
This is a great neighborhood restaurant....whether you are eating in or taking out. The service is amazing. Now that the sun is out, you can bring your best friends.....dog or human.....and dine on the outside deck. Drink their amazing mint lime drink and just kick-back. Wonderful food and so fresh. Enjoy...

Thai Noodle etc. has great food and is an exceptional value. The location at the corner of NW Everett and Westover is airy and with a view of the neighborhood. The staff is very friendly. On my first visit, I was picking up a lunch take-out order for a friend. It looked so good, I returned and had a delectable seafood soup. Ingredients were fresh, it was well seasoned, and served promptly piping hot. I did see some other dishes at adjacent tables. All looked so tasty. It's great to have this treasure in the neighborhood. I'll be back and with friends to work our way through the menu.

The food was meh, I've had better pad Thai and salad rolls. Maybe not the freshest ingredients. However, the takeout service was great - we accidentally ordered from the Beaverton location and were able to fix the mistake with no trouble or extra charge.

Coconut shrimp was tasty and crunchy. Kuay Teaw Reau is my all time favorite. Fried banana and ice cream was an outstanding way to finish my dinner. Very friendly service.

Hooray!! A new Thai restaurant to love! I didn't know where I was going to get my Thai fix when Typhoon closed. Luckily, Thai Noodle opened just up the street. The staff are super friendly and the pad thai and panang curry are delicious! I will definitely be going back to try more dishes. Such a relief to know there's exceptional Thai food on 23rd again!

Wonderful, wonderful! Friendly, able, eager service -- could not be better! A handsome space, too. NW Portland has a few nice Thai restaurants but this one is even better. I've eaten lunch with friends there twice and dinner also twice there. Everyone was happy. The tom yum and the tom kar gai soups are divine (and come in hot pots with a chimney, fuel lit to keep it warm at the table), the curries ditto, and the noodle dishes are also wonderful. Alas, the papaya salad doesn't use the fish sauce and dried shrimp that give papaya salad its personality (on the other hand it's probably vegan) but really, everything is fresh, flavorful, delicious. They ask you about spice level. I like spicy but not everyone does. If you ask for mild it is very, very mild. You really can take someone who can't take heat here, and they will accomodate that diner. All in all a terrific Thai place that is gracious and beautiful -- which this area needed
