    Pad Kra Pao with chicken
    Martin F.

    This is kind of a hole in all place but I wanted to try some Thai food and this sounded good for the reviews and I was happy to have gone here. I had a chicken dish with rice and it was different from the other dishes I'd had before. There was a very tasty sauce on the plate and it went really well with the rice. It wasn't very spicy at all even though I think they said it was spicy on the menu My friend had yellow curry with chicken but he thought it was just extremely well done. It also came with a side of rice They didn't spend any money on the interior decorations. All the money goes into the food and it was comfortable enough but it was tight. There's only a few tables there. It's certainly worth giving it a try

    Beef Pad See Ew

    Another just ok thai place in Portland. Super nice owners and the noodles are four stars. But my meat was very chewy and overcooked. I liked the vegetables in the dish and the flavor of the sauce. Spice level of medium but felt mild to me. I must have a higher heat tolerance than most people. Still hit the spot after a long day so I would probably try something different next time.

    Drunken Noodle with Tofu

    I'm a sucker for pad kee mao (drunken noodles) so I was super excited to try this place but it unfortunately didn't live up to my expectations. The drunken noodles had little-to-no spice at all and the inside of the egg rolls were mushy... you couldn't tell there were supposed to be noodles in there. What was most disappointing was that I placed an order on their website for pickup in about two hours, received the confirmation email and text, then when we went to pick it up, they claimed the order didn't go through so we had to wait a while longer for them to make it on the spot. I specifically chose not to order thru Yelp/DoorDash because that site looked like it was missing a few menu items and I figured their official website would be the most legit space to order from. I would suggest calling in your order if you plan on ordering take out.

    This place is a hole in the wall restaurant that will blow your mind. It's typically never busy here and the flavors are always consistent. When we went in, there wasn't anyone here at all and it was during dinner time (6:00 PM). We ordered the Drunken Fried Rice and Pad See Ew dish and they never fail to disappoint. Both dishes has the perfect combination of salty and savory. The prices here are also not too bad along with the service. Going to keep coming here until I have my last meal.

    I've visited this place many times to take advantage of their $10 lunch specials - most of the time I order it to go so I can get back to the office. The last time I came in I was told it was "policy" to not offer lunch special pricing on to go orders ... but had done it at least 5 times before so I asked when the policy changed. The counter worker told me it was always the policy (not true or not followed, ever). Today I stopped in for a lunch chicken rice bowl and no sauce was included - walked up to the counter and was told "it doesn't come with the lunch special, only full price orders" ... WTF - the sauce is needed to make the meal worthwhile! I'm over this place ... they don't include the sauce and the veggies are discolored and wilted, all for the lunch special? I'll spend my money elsewhere ... too many restaurants to keep having issues. Previous Review: I had this place bookmarked for a while and decided to stop in for lunch today. There was no line so we were able to order right away. I love Thai curry so it is customary for me to get the Chicken Yellow Curry HOT which is what I tried. The menu of boba tea looked appealing so I also ordered a Taro boba. Food came out quick ... Boba tea was AWFUL ... after 1 sip I got myself a free glass of water. The boba had a weird texture and the tea itself was way too sweet. I do NOT recommend any of the boba teas ... they definitely do not match the picture on the menu. For the actual food ... divine! The curry was spicy and had the perfect amount of meat, veggie, and broth. There was just the right amount of rice that came with it. I NEED to go back ... just not for the tea. While on the main road, parking was limited and it was easy to miss - maybe a sidewalk sign would direct the traffic?

    Amazing food here, it was good to be back. Such quick and friendly service! Came just after the lunch rush at 1pm and our meals and Thai Tea were ready in less than five minutes. Ordered Chicken Drunken Noodles and the chicken was tender and juicy and the noodles were perfect with all the spices, veggies were a nice crisp tender and all was so delicious! Multiple people came in and got orders just as quickly with some to go orders being filled as well. I've really missed this place, it's so good to see (and taste) that the recipes are still fresh and flavorful!! Take a loop around the block to find parking and take a stroll. Clean restrooms as well.

    Yummy Thai tea and crab wontons!

    I've had Xin Ding Dumpling House bookmarked for over a year, so I was excited to finally cross it…read moreoff my list while visiting family. Since we had our dog with us, we ordered everything to go and enjoyed it back at our hotel just down the street. Just a heads up if you're planning the same, there wasn't any outdoor dining available. Being from the SF Bay Area, one of the first things we looked for was Har Gow and Siu Mai, but they weren't labeled the way we're used to. After asking, we found out the Crystal Shrimp Dumplings are their Har Gow, and the Shrimp Siu Mai contains pork, which was exactly what we were looking for. We ordered two of each. We also ordered two Beef Chow Fun, Combination Fried Rice, Eggplant with Minced Pork, Sweet & Sour Spare Ribs, and three pear sodas. The dim sum absolutely hit the spot. The Har Gow and Siu Mai were well seasoned, nicely prepared, and exactly what we had been craving. The Beef Chow Fun was another winner. We were glad we ordered two because we found ourselves reaching for it more than the fried rice. The Eggplant with Minced Pork was also delicious. The eggplant was cooked perfectly -- tender without becoming mushy -- and the seasoning was right on point. I'm also glad we changed our order from the House Special Spare Ribs to the Sweet & Sour Spare Ribs. Unlike many versions, these weren't battered and fried, so the pork maintained a great texture while still being coated in a flavorful sweet and sour sauce. One unexpected favorite was the pear soda. It's made with Asian pear, so the flavor is much lighter and more refreshing than the sweeter pear sodas we're used to. The only hiccup? They're bottled with a traditional cap, and since we were staying in a hotel, we quickly realized we didn't have a bottle opener. Let's just say we got a little creative. One thing I really appreciated was that the staff noticed our large takeout order and packed it thoughtfully. They included six extra takeout containers, plenty of forks, chopsticks, and napkins, which ended up being incredibly helpful since we were eating in a hotel room with no paper plates or utensils. It's a small gesture, but one that definitely didn't go unnoticed. Overall, we were really happy with our meal. This place lived up to being on my bookmark list for over a year, and I'd happily come back the next time we're staying in downtown Portland.

The portions were beyond generous, and each meal had nothing lacking. The meat in both dishes was tender and juicy, the noodles were cooked perfectly, soft but with a chew, and everything came out fast! The chicken noodle was more savory, and the japchae was a bit sweeter, but still standing with a savory component. We also ordered chicken dumplings and they were perfect. Crispy but nice on the inside, and whatever the sauce was that came with it is something I will continue to think about weekly. We were on vacation from the east coast and wish we found this place sooner in the trip. The restaurant is tiny and is all self serve, but the gentleman who brought out our dishes was very kind. I will say I don't know the area well, but there were pockets of the neighborhood that didn't feel the safest.

Perhaps it was because we got there about an hour before closing? But the food was too oily and looked sloppy. No real customer interaction or service since you order through a kiosk. We're always searching for late night dinner spots to add to our Portland visit list so we were hyped up when we found this place. I don't think we'll be returning here.
