We must echo what others have said - the food is pretty salty, it's actually making my tongue burn. We got the green curry and panag curry and both were strangley salty. I've never had curry that I felt had a salt problem until now. I'm not sure who is responsible for how the food tastes but I would switch out that person for someone new. Based on previous reviews, it looks like excessive salt is a consistent problem here in a variety of dishes. read more

Yet another fantastic type place in the city of Portland, and not too far from work which is always a perk. Portland has become quite the foodie city and it's always good to find a new spot where you can get something tasty to eat at a reasonable price no matter what part of town you're in. Four of us went into drunken noodle for dinner a week or so ago and everyone of us left happy. I got the grilled salmon daily special to parties got variations of the drunken pad Thai in the fourth member got a bowl of soup. Everything that was brought to our table was sampled and shared amongst each other in every meal was absolutely perfect. Here in Portland we have multiple type places to choose from and drunken noodle will definitely fit into my regular rotation. read more

This place is really good and food is solid. Dropped off son to college and looking for place to eat . He loved it and will be ordering food from here . read more

Such amazing food! Literally always worth the wait. The inside is not the nicest restaurant, but by far the best Thai food I have found in Portland. Highly recommend! read more

This place has fallen off considerably in quality and service. We have tried a few times in the last year. Consistently greasy food, incorrect items, and lackadaisical staff. It was great when it opened now not so much. read more

This was the first place I ate when I arrived in N Portland when we moved here. I should say with take out I arrived in the middle of COVID-19 so take out was all there was. The food was better than expected from the outside appearance. I love eating at places that look like dives. I give the place 5 stars the food was great the cooks were friendly read more

Normally I NEVER EVER complain. I must say this about this place, when you order the Curry, nowhere on the menu does it say Curry Soup. The consistency of the Curry I got tonight was like tap water. Maybe I got it on a bad night because I've had it here before and it had a creamy consistency and went well with the rice. Tonight it was soup. Rice not needed. The worst part is that the Manager running the place got very argumentative with me about it and offered me no alternative. When he delivered the order to me in the restaurant, he even said "here's your soup". Staying away from this place as I didn't care for his attitude and poor Customer service. Treated me like he didn't give a *&^%. If the Owner is reading this....get nicer people to manage your restaurant. I've talked to you before, you're very cool. read more

This little Thai place on Lombard falls under the radar, but it's time to let everyone know about them. After my second trip, I was at a place that I could write a honest review as the experience each time as the same. Great. I've had the Bun Bo Hue, Crab Puffs and the P2 ( Egg Noodle Chicken Soup) ( Pho ) The Bun Bo Hue is one of the best in town. ( $10.00 )The Crab Puffs ( 6 for $5.00 ) are stuffed with crab and just enough cream cheese to hold it together. Lastly the Chicken Pho or egg noodle soup they call it was a great take on it. ( $9.00 ) Check out the pictures as they plate wonderfully. I'm going to work my way thru more of the menu items and I'll let you know. All in all you won't be disappointed a bit. read more

This place is amazing. I just moved to Portland 8 days ago and I've eaten here 5 of the days so far. It's so close to my house, I just take a stroll down there for dinner time. My favorite menu item so far is the Yakisoba Drunken Noodles (menu option N6). I've also had the Drunken Noodle Pad Thai (N2), the Pad See Ew (N3), the Grilled Chicken Marinated with Yellow Curry Grilled Noodle Bowl (G3), and the cashew chicken stir fry (S2). All were phenomenal. I like adding their Hoisin sauce to the meals which is delicious. I've also had their Taro flavored bubble tea which was great. They have an awesome outdoor garden area to sit or you can sit inside by the garage door that opens up like a window to the street. Their cooks are also incredibly fast. I haven't had to wait more than 7-10 minutes for my food any of the times I've been there. Definitely recommend this place! read more

I joined a "Postmates deliver party" and ordered some Pad Thai (always a safe choice) for lunch. To be fair.... I ordered this on a cheat day (trying to eat a little better) and was expecting a meal worthy of the depravation I had forced on myself for the preceding meals. I should have just eaten an apple. I have never had pad Thai this bland in my life. I tried to pepper it with Sriracha which made it edible but was still thoroughly disappointed. It could be they were mass producing meals to keep up with the Postmates party but there are too many other great Thai restaurants to double down. read more

I have been here once and only once. I ordered the ph. I do not know what possessed me. Desperation, perhaps. There is a distinct lack of ph in North Portland. This is not the place to get your fix. I cannot speak to their other menu items. read more

Great Thai food. Nothing fancy. But they do it right. You can eat in the restaurant or in the bar next door which is a great option when it gets to be a little later at night. The Pad See Ew is my go to. read more

Drunken Noodle - Thai Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I have eaten here a couple times previously and it was pretty good, but tonight, it was awful. They lost my phone-in order under a stack of other orders, so even though I showed up twenty minutes after placing my order, I had to wait another 15 for them to actually make my food. I feel like my order should've gotten bumped to the front of the line at that point, but I was wrong. The peanut sauce for the salad rolls was a watery gruel that barely tasted of peanuts. I made my own peanut sauce at home for the first time recently, and it's not hard. In fact, it was cheap and easy and 1000X better than the stuff I was just served by a restaurant who gets paid actual money to make the stuff. Peanut sauce should be thick enough to stick to whatever you're dunking into it. This stuff was so thin and watery, we poured it into the rolls and ended up throwing it all out, especially since the rolls themselves were poorly rolled and severely lacking in filling. The noodle dishes were OK, except they confused the spice (I like it spicy, my husband does not) and even though the top of the box read "NO EGG" there was egg in the food. The biggest reason for the one star review however, is due solely to the man answering the phone and taking orders. He was brusque, he was rude, and he didn't apologize for the mix-up with my order or for making me wait. I get that people are busy and shit happens, but showing me a little humanity would be appreciated. In a town with so many excellent Thai restaurants (E-San, Chaba Thai), why screw around with sub-par, inconsistent food served by a jerk? read more

I love Drunken Noodle, and usually get drunken noodle with chicken or pork. It's my go to meal after a long day outdoors, I usually think about it all the way on my drive back into town and order it over the phone so it is timed perfectly to pick up. The consistency of quality and freshness keeps me coming back. read more

Great place for Thai food in North Portland! As a super allergic to peanuts kinda gal, I'm not a huge fan of Thai food, but I do crave their stir fry wide rice noodles. I love the chewy texture of them. A good way to describe them is like lasagna sheets! I ordered the Pad See Ew (stir-fry noodles in a sweet soy sauce), which is similar to Pad Kee Mao, but without the basil and chili. Although I normally like those additions, I liked that the Pad See Ew had broccoli, carrots, and even small pieces of egg. The noodle were super bouncy and chewy which is how I love it and the dish only cost me $10 for a generous portion. I sometimes eat Pad Kee Mao at E-San Thai downtown for lunch with my coworkers for $14 a plate, which makes Drunken Noodles significantly cheaper for a pretty comparable dish. Additionally, my takeout order was ready on time and I could see that the guy wrote "no peanuts!" on my takeout container since I mentioned I was allergic to them. That makes me a extra happy customer! read more

What amazing food!!!!! We had the fried chicken with Pad Thai sauce. Wonderful!!! Also the drunken noodles with shrimp were fresh and great!

What I consumed: curry dish, crab wontons and peanut sauce Food Quality: very good! 4 stars out of 5! Environment: nothing to write home about. Service: very good and friendly. Appearance: see environment comment Overall: the food and service are great! The ambiance and appearance could use some work. Probably the best place in North Portland to get Thai. read more

I just got back from Thailand so I feel more prepared than ever to review a Thai restaurant. This place cooks everything fresh like it should be. I know this because you can see them cook it. I was really pleased about this as I know some places have popular dishes, much like Thailand street food, already cooked and they just warm it in the wok. I highly recommend getting the crab wontons. They are delicious and only $5 for six of them. The noodles here are good, light on the oil which I like and tastes fresh. The flavor though was lacking in my dish a tad. Overall it's one of the best Thai places I've been to in Portland and a great addition to my neighborhood! (Oh and the prices are medium. It's $10 for chicken pad Thai.) read more

Drunken Noodle - Chicken Pho! - Thai Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Drunken Noodle is normally our go to quick and easy Thai spot... Even though their prices seem to change daily even when we order the same meal every time. Food is good so we never let it get to us... But tonight drew the line. We ordered their Drunken Noodles, which they have literally named their restaurant after, a dish that includes tons of veggies and a thick brown sauce. We just sat down to eat and our order literally is noodles and chicken... That's it. No veggies, barely any sauce. Can't believe they let this order leave the restaurant, so disappointed. Two stars since we normally enjoy this spot, but we won't be eating here again. read more

Drunken Noodle - Drunken noodles....really? - Thai Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Kind of annoying when you have your heart set on pad kee Mao and mess up on the spice level when you just want to taste your noodles without having to suffer to the pain of the spiciness. First time doing to go and it seems like they rush you on the phone & try to take your order. But the first time me and my boyfriend dinned in we enjoy the food. Just make sure if you order to go specifically ask them for the spice level and confirm with them since they wanna mess up my order and make me not enjoy my food since it's so spicy. read more

Drunken Noodle - Thai Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Went here the other day for lunch right when they opened. The place is supposedly known for their drunken noodles, but they had a special of bun bo hue..so I decided to try that. The bbh here is beef based and does not have the pork blood and pig's feet (which I do not care much for). The broth tasted pretty clean and the portion was just right for lunch. Overall, it was decent. I will have to try the drunken noodles or pad see ew next time. read more

This is my go to in Saint John's! No doubt the best food in town. Whether it's the pineapple fried rice that they put in an actual pineapple or the classic pad thai you won't go wrong!!!! This is the secret hole in the wall that everyone has been looking for. But shhhhhh........ Let's keep this between you and me and not tell anyone about this secret place! If you want the best food in town, this is it! read more

Delicious food in a clean, sweet, colorful atmosphere. The owner was kind and the mango red curry special was just what I needed on a cold day. They have a big backyard for when it warms up! I'll definitely be back. I wonder how I didn't know about this place! read more

Drunken Noodle - Mango red curry - Thai Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Dined here twice, one for lunch and the other for dinner. Both times the food was good and served quickly. I love that it is an open kitchen, meaning they don't have anything to hide. Something about a restaurant's transparency in cooking my meal where it can be publicly seen gives me a sense of confidence about what I'm actually eating, but that's just me. I guess you can say, I've had some horrible experiences in the past. The food is not the best Thai I've had, but it's close by and is good enough that I'll come back when I'm craving for Pad Thai or Red Curry. Prices are reasonable and portions are moderate. I appreciate that they serve hot Thai tea and coffee for free. The one thing that made me a little disappointed was that they did not have one of my favorite soups -- Tom Kha Gai -- which is a standard item on most menus. read more

My 5th visit here. Food is ok and it's near me so I keep trying different things. Today I ordered through Postmates for the shrimp bowl ($15). I kid you not, it had ONE shrimp in it. Postmates gave me a partial credit. However I have to say goodbye to this place. read more

My Portland kitchen away from home (CA). Quick service, quality food (packed!) and love that they have hot thai tea available for customers :) Always have to order at least 2-3 orders of krab cream puff .. so goooood! read more

Their food is ok. I personally wouldn't think of this place when I'm thinking Thai food.

We are visiting from out of town and this was a recommendation. I ordered the yellow curry with pineapple and chicken. It was fresh and creamy it also came with potatoes, carrots and onions with white rice on the side. I ordered it mild and it was the perfect amount of spice for me. My husband ordered the Drunken Noodle Pad Thai with chicken. He was skeptical because he had never had Thai food before but he loved it! He ordered it medium heat and thought it was perfect. The restaurant is clean and has cool murals painted on the walls. read more

Prices 5/5 Thai Tea 5/5 Drunken Noodle 3.5/5 Huge servings, great prices, okay food. The Thai tea is only $2.50 and really good. I don't think you can ever go wrong with Thai tea especially for Thai food. The drunken noodles came on a huge plate, enough to serve 2 people, or 1 super hungry person. Came with standard fix ins and vegetables. Noodles were good, but it was covered in a watered down sauce. You could see the liquid pooling at the bottom. My gf got the drunken noodle pad thai (pad thai but with the thick noodles) and had the same experience. Luckily the noodles soaked up some of the flavor, but a little too wet for me. I'll give this place the benefit of doubt bc my gf said it's usually better so 4/5, leaning toward 3/5 if this happened again. read more

I've been to this restaurant five times now because it's so close to my house, the first time the food was fine but every time after it was absolutely terrible. I've tried the ramen, the pad, the drunken udon. The noodles always taste and feel really old. I don't know how the rating is so high. Everything else about the restaurant is fine, just not the food so.. read more

Y'all..... this ain't asian food. The rice was not good, it was cold and so was the chicken that was in my rice bowl. The "fish sauce" is sweet chili sauce from the bottle.... if you don't get it together. If you want real asian food go to southeast portland. Also, the pho is not pho. Don't judge asian food based off this interpretation ‍ Trust me I know what I'm talking about, I'm asian. read more

This place is pretty mediocre. I got the chicken pho which wasn't bad, but nothing was really very standout about it. And I got a bubble tea which I was very excited about until I took a sip and it tasted like strawberry nesqick powder and the bubbles were HORRIBLE. They like were grainy and just disintegrated as soon as they hit my mouth. Super weird and that's not how boba is supposed to be. Won't be coming back read more

I order the fried chicken plate. 2 pieces of chicken, coconut rice, and a spicy cucumber salad. The skin was nicely battered and crunchy. However, the interior of each piece of chicken was significantly bloody and raw. I was sick with diarrhea for 4 hours during the night and miserable the following day. read more

I'm visiting Portland so I needed a quick and cheap bite. This place did the job. It's a very small store on Lombard St, so if you're parking, just park on the side streets and walk over. I recommend: old fashion beef pad Thai, and the drunken noodles fried rice. Being from CA where there's tons of good pad Thai, this place is just as good! Both dishes were well seasoned and the portions were generous. For $20 my girlfriend and I got full and had some leftover for the next day. read more

Hands down , the very best thai food I've ever eaten, anywhere.
