Atmosphere is very home kitchen with a spruce up rural diner I knew as a kid. Lady who served us was kind, quick and efficient. But the food was the absolute shining star, I dont say this often, but its now my new favorite Thai spot as of the review date. My partner has high compliments for the tofu and felt similarly. Only comment is not a lot of vegetarian appetizers to pick from. Will be back for sure. read more

Classic Thai Cuisine - Evil Jungle Noodles - Thai Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Love this spot! So good and so consistent! Fast and friendly service. The food is soooooo goooood!!!!

I called multiple times checking about them being able to accommodate dietary restrictions and I was informed which items they could personalize to meet those needs. I placed my order for pickup. I arrived at the scheduled time and my order was ready. The restaurant was clean and very inviting. I brought the food home, plated and eating. The pad Ginger Chicken had fresh crisp veggies and well prepared chicken - great. The Pad Se Ewe Noodle with beef was exceptional. The noodles were done perfectly and the beef was SO tender. The crab fried rice was big and had enough crab to be tasted in every bite. The Thai egg rolls were ok and average to what you'd find in most Thai restaurants. Great restaurant, better than others in the area and there are some great ones read more

Amazing Spicy Noodles, Incredible Salad Rolls with peanut sauce, and very good service

If you're looking for a classic spot to add to your week night repertoire, look no further than Classic Thai Cuisine. As far as Thai food goes, it's the perfect mix of traditional and experimental. From classic (pun soooo intended) pad thai to crab fried rice to so many different types of curry you could have a different one each night of the week, they hit the nail on the head for every dish. Service was prompt and the ambience feels homey, in a way that makes you want to pull up a chair and spend the evening telling stories. Make sure to ask for some chili oil on the side and you can customize it perfectly to your liking. Easy to make vegan or vegetarian, which is always welcome in this political climate. read more

Classic Thai Cuisine - 58. Tinna's Favorite Noodle - Thai Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I had the fried rice with shrimp and it was delicious. I had the spice level 3 which was a hint of spice. However I like spicy so adjust for your liking. The flavor was so good, better than most I would say. They gave me a good amount of shrimp as well. How much you get for what you pay for is fair compared to others. I really enjoyed it. read more

The food is good... enough. I get the impression that it's been sitting for a while and warmed up once ordered (I feel this is typical). Chicken Pad Thai: Small portion for $15. The fact that it's $15 is beyond absurd. There were small pieces of chicken inside, I counted four. The size of the overall meal was about two fist-sized portions, again for $15. My wife liked the inside, said it was clean. It's in a good neighborhood and they placed the food in a to-go bag, rather than empty boxes most places give to you to reduce trash costs, so I'll give them that. I would like to go back, but to be honest, we're giving up on finding good local food. If you go there, I'm sure you'll be satisfied and pleased... if you're ok with all the aforementioned. read more

Love it. Delicious food, prepared quickly and served by friendly people. Seldom too busy, and great for a low-key weeknight dinner. read more

Tried the BBQ chicken with curried rice. The chicken was stale, like it had been cooked days ago, and they attempted to refresh it by deep frying it. Outside of chicken was dry and stringy, no discernable spices or special flavor. Curry rice was heavy and overly oily. read more

5 stars for service, 3 stars for food, so guess that averages four? Food comes out lickety split, almost too fast because our fresh rolls arrived with our entrees. The rolls were bland because they lacked basil or mint. For the entree I had a lemongrass chicken salad. I think I've figured out they get food out quickly. The chicken looks like it's sliced razor thin for a quick cook. Unfortunately it's a bit tough with that approach and I couldn't cut it with a fork, and no knives in the table so I used a spoon. I'd rather have chunks or thicker slices for a bit of substance. My friend ordered tofu pad see ew, and we both cleaned our plates. Tea is just a teabag in a small cup. At an Asian restaurant I'd expect it to be brewed read more

I love Classic Thai! They are our neighborhood Thai restaurant and I feel really fortunate that we live so near by. The owners and staff are absolutely lovely. Service and takeout is fast and dependable. And the food is EXCELLENT. My faves include pad kee mow, yum crispy balls, crab fried rice, and Thai bbq chicken with curry fried rice. Definitely give them a try, you'll be happy you did! read more

Our whole family loves this place. My daughters go to when she comes back from college. Tina is so sweet. Give it a try!

Summary: great Thai food, but you may want to dial down the heat a bit. My daughter lives across the street from Classic Thai so we order carry out regularly when we are into town, including yesterday for lunch. Their online ordering works well 0- when you select a dish you are prompted to enter the desired protein, type of rice, etc. which then shows up in your cart. Lead times are quite short most of the time, 15-20 minutes. I had the green curry yesterday which I really love - lots of colorful eggplant in it. I also sampled the tofu pad Thai which was very good. Most of our dishes we requested a spice level of 1 - at most Thai places I am a 2-3, but at classic I find I have to dial it back a bit or I overheat. BTW, the portions are quite generous, we are having the leftovers for dinner tonight! This place is a great choice for carry out during the Covid pandemic. Easy to order, ready quickly, flavorful, healthy, but not too filling. Go for it! read more

SO GOOD. Beautiful restaurant and presentation, cozy and tidy. Staff is super friendly and patient. Apetizers were so good and made me excited for the entree. read more

One of our favorite Thai places! The food is fresh, delicious, good portions [we always have left overs] and always hot. We haven't dined in but all the take out experiences have been great, very sweet and friendly staff, the food is done quickly and great quality. The pad Thai and pad see wee are our favorite dishes along with the chicken triangles. You must order the chicken triangles to start, so simple but so yummy and the orange sauce is bomb!! I always order and extra sauce. Will update with photos next time we order read more

Good solid service, great thai food. Nice family owned business. Love the Tom Kha soup and the Pad Se Ewe. Just wish the spice level was a little more consistent, only reason I gave four instead of five stars. Sometimes I order medium and there is no spice and other times the spice is off the charts. But the pad se ewe is some of the best I've had in the city of Portland and the family that runs this place are very nice. I work one block away and as someone who has sampled Thai food all across Portland, this place is a very underlooked gem in Sellwood. read more

The food was amazing you need to try the chicken noodle soup the chicken and everything just goes together service was top tier the ambiance was pretty good a little bright but good recommend this place. read more

It's was a cold, dark, rainy night and I was desperate for some spicy food. My meeting (via Zoom) ran late so I needed a place that was doing takeout until nine. Fortunately classic Thai cuisine fit the bill. I ordered via their website which was seamless and simple. I selected Pad Basil 'Kra-Pao & Tom Yum Goong Soup. Both absolutely perfect for a rainy night. They have plenty of safety precautions and since I was pre-paid I simply went in and picked up my food and left and took it home to enjoy a spectacular meal. They were very grateful for the business and the food was great! Let's keep these local businesses going. Support local!! read more

Great food and it wasn't too spicy. I'm not a person who likes to stun my tastebuds into submission so I was a little concerned with level 3 out of 5. Turned out to be just fine for my eggplant dish. As great as the food is, though, the karma of the place is even better. When I picked up my order the woman behind the counter was very cheerful and all the orders were in seasonal bags. Regardless if I/someone celebrates Christmas, you've gotta show love to the spirit of the season. To quote a fella much bigger than me, "I'll be back." read more

Classic Thai Cuisine - Take THAT, 2020! You won't keep good people down. - Thai Near Me - Portland, Oregon

We keep coming back to Classic Thai every couple months. We always get Tom Ka Gai coconut soup with chicken, quite a delicious combination of mushrooms, chicken and onions in a mildly spicy broth. For the second dish, we go back and forth between Pad Mixed Vegetables and Green Curry, both with chicken. Classic Thai is in a strip mall with Plaid Pantry and a nail parlor, but once you step inside, you find the interior is attractive, with lots of plants, including bamboo, and nicely soft lighting. The booths are comfortably large, the atmosphere pleasant. They do a steady stream of take-out business. The dine-in service is quick and cheerful, the food tasty and wholesome, and the price is right. read more

Classic Thai Cuisine - Tina, the owner, cheerfully notes she's been in business here 6 years as of February 2020 - Thai Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I've been a regular here for years. Ownership has recently changed hands but the menu and everything else remained the same, including the mediocre quality of the dishes. There is much too much sugar in their sauces. Overpriced entrees. Frozen egg rolls. Undercooked eggplant. Canned veggies. Chicken satay is like rubber. But it's close to my job and convenient, and still a healthier option than the burgers and pizza also nearby, as long as you know what to order and what to avoid after years of trial and error. I was willing to overlook the unimpressive dishes for the convenience factor, but the last 2 times I was there and placed an order to-go, instead of giving me my change back when I paid with cash, the owner/cashier put my change directly in her tip jar. I did not say "keep the change". Against my better judgment, since Covid, I have been tipping for orders to go, as a courtesy, but it should still be my decision, not the decision of the establishment. And that tip is usually a buck or two. Not $7 on a $13 order. I thought this might have been done in error the first time so I bit my tongue, but it happened again the last time I was there as well. It feels extremely manipulative and underhanded, and puts the customer in a position of looking cheap and making a scene, having to ask for change back. Won't be returning as a result. read more

The Pad Basil was excellent! My husband and I shared takeout during COVID and the woman behind the counter couldn't have been more pleasant. Spice level 3 left just the perfect tingle on our lips! We also ordered the fresh salad rolls, but were so full that we saved those for later! They also have parking in a private lot. Definitely recommend this local establishment. read more

Classic Thai Cuisine - Open for takeout and delivery during COVID and practicing safely. - Thai Near Me - Portland, Oregon

This place is soooo good :) and the server was very sweet. I got the yellow curry. It's the best curry I've had in a while.

This is really a hidden gem. The two gals working every time I come in are so warm and welcoming, the food is great, and they seem to have a sixth sense when it comes to refilling water. It blows my mind. Haha love practically living next door to this place. I started with takeout but now I dine in almost every time because they give such genuine service. Edit: not 5 minutes after posting this review, she decided to switch out my regular water glass for a huge jar. Unprompted!!! This is not a drill. LOVE this place! read more

Classic Thai Cuisine - Thai Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Amazing food and service. The pad kee mao was definitely my favorite, and the food isn't too expensive! Definitely would recommend :)

Part Thai and was recently in Chiang Mai. Really critical since I can cook most of the food, but am lazy. Ate here a long time ago, and it was good. Recently ordered some papaya salad, kra pao, and fish cakes. Dishes were average to slightly below average. Ordered everything Thai spicy. Everything was mild and was given crushed red pepper. Portion size was small as well. Unsure if there was a change in ownership or cook to maintain the quality of the food. 2.8 stars. read more

Charged automatic 15% gratuity on to go orders, paid total of almost $200 for a lunch order that was 20 minutes late, with one of the top lids that was not closed completely which spilled in my car, and also had missing entrees that I paid for. Not the best to go experience. read more

Tinna has been gracious and welcoming every time we order food here. More importantly the food is always great. The pineapple fried rice has some secret umami flavor to it and Tinna's favorite noodles have become ours too. She's never failed to make a great meal. This is our go-to restaurant in the neighborhood. read more

20May20 @ 11:30am We had basil fried rice with tofu and green curry with pork delivered. Food arrived warm and on time. Good stuff. Plenty of tofu in the basil rice and plenty of pork and other goodies in the curry. Nice flavor and texture in both dishes. Satisfying meal and there are leftovers. read more

5 stars!!! SO GOOD! And they have SO MANY take out orders--the local community definitely loves and supports this business! It was our first time here and we were so happy with the results! Great staff, delicious food, nice folks, great quality. read more

Was craving Thai and had seen photos of their food on Instagram before, so convinced family to give it a shot. It shared a parking lot with a gas station and yet sometimes the first glance seedy places end up being the best, so we continued on in. Inside we we were immediately greeted by friendly faces and welcomed into a cutely decorated place. They even brought a special built in straw cup for my toddler, and later provided her with a plastic plate and silverware as well! Always so sweet when you see them understand and accommodate the little ones. We ordered phad Thai, fried rice, sweet and sour chicken, a curry noodle dish, phad see ewe, and every single dish was fantastic !!!! The phad Thai was absolutely incredible, exactly what I was craving and wanted it to be. Everything had such flavor and was amazing tasting. We all left extremely happy. I would definitely recommend this place if you are craving some good Thai food in the area!!! read more

Absolutely incredible thai food in the heart of sellwood in a strip mall next to plaid pantry! Very fresh lemongrass chicken and noodles, wonderful soup and very reasonable prices for the city! The staff is super friendly and food came out really fast! This place is the real deal and my new favorite thai place in portland!!!! read more

3 stars because the food isn't the best Thai food I've had in the city, but still decent. The staff is super friendly, which is a huge contributor to the reason why I go often despite it not being my favorite Thai spot. The yellow curry is a bit watery for my liking and I was surprised that they don't carry Panang curry because that's my go-to order! The beef pad see ew could have used more butter because the noodles were mainly stuck together. Flavor was delicious but the noodles were a bit more dry than I prefer. The crab wrappers (crab rangoons) are good, but not as crispy as is usually ideal! I always order to-go and it's prepared fast and accurately. read more

Do you like Thai food? Do you like supporting local, family owned joints? Do you like yummy food? Well, then, look no further when you are cruising about in your fine, local neighborhood aka Sellwood. Order all the appetizers. Order all the soups. Order all the curries. Fill your belly. Get fat and get sassy. BUT, always be kind to Tina, the owner, and everyone on staff or ill find you... anyway, treat yourself and be kind. :) read more

Excellent food, lots to choose from, clean and cute restaurant. Wish I was local, so I could come back weekly.

Ordered the tofu spring rolls and wonton soup. The spring rolls were supposed to have mint and basil, they had neither. Wonton soup was supposed to come with shrimp and bok choy. Instead it came with questionable tasting chicken and iceberg lettuce (in the soup!). Will never order from here again. read more

This place is in the rotation. While we tend to get take out, dining in is always great as the folks that run the place are just delightful. Truly nice people you want to support. My fav is the massaman curry. Always consistent on flavor. Occasionally the potatoes and carrots are a tad undercooked but within the realm of being alright. My kid usually goes for a couple apps and loves the coconut curry. Spouse likes, not loves, the food. Solid spot. Super nice folks. We eat here monthly. read more

My partner and I are obsessed with classic Thai. We live just down the block and order takeout all the time. We religiously order pad se ew, pad spicy eggplant, and yellow curry. They are all divine and the eggplant is always caramelized to perfection (which I don't always find to be true at other places in Portland). This place's great vibe and food is topped off only by the perfect angel of an owner Tinna. She is so upbeat and kind every time. I truly look forward to seeing her. read more
