    Spicy Chicken plate
    Stephanie V.

    We were up in this area and so hungry! It was chilly and started raining so I was thinking soup. We got there and the service was quick an friendly. We ordered shumai (huge app great size), ramen and a chicken plate. All three were really good! If in the area again we would definitely stop by. They had a good menu and also boba, shoulda got some, sigh. The ambiance was kinda like a cafe so the name makes sense. There's also a mini casino behind a curtain so that's a fun option. Nothing fancy but good food, good service.

    Won Ton soup 5/5 stars

    This is hands down the best Won Ton soup I have ever had. Staff is always friendly and the price is reasonable. Highly recommend if your in the area

    Honey BBQ Pork With Rice
    Vanessa M.

    Been here a few times and I couldn't seem to find dish that I would consider my favorite until recently. The Pad Kra Prao (ramen noodles) was delicious. It almost had like a minty/herb flavor in every bite that kept me wanting more! The second dish I had, that I'll probably get once in a while was the Honey BBQ Pork. It's on the sweeter side, which is why it's my second choice; I like food on the savory/spicy side. The rice was a tad dry for me, so I could do without the rice but the pork was good! And the third dish, the Homemade Braised Pork. I'm not sure I can pinpoint the flavor but I'd probably rate it a 3/10. Nothing about it wowed me, unfortunately. With every meal I gave in an ordered a Thai tea (no picture) and I'd rate it a 6/10 compared to all the other Thai teas I've had. It's pretty good! I believe their Thai tea is premade so they just pour it into the cup. I personally like seeing the colors of the drink mix in over time but that's just me. Service was good. Nothing over the top, but it did the job. Oriental Cafe had become a staple in our home and will definitely keep going back!

    Arguably the best Asian restaurant in Saint Helens, which, for such a small town, already has several great Asian restaurants. Too bad I did not find out about this until a couple of months before I left Columbia County. It's sort of hidden behind a motel, with only a small signage, so it's easy to miss this if you're driving on Highway 30.

    Closed during business hours....

    Updating my review, which is based on Boba alone now: I visited twice and received excellent service from both individuals who were working. I tried their regular milk tea and lychee fruit tea with boba and they were both delicious! The boba is soft and fresh, the teas were flavorful, and it was a great ratio of boba to tea! Plus, they have a punch card.

    Enjoyed this delicious boba milk tea at Swan House

    Food and service was great! Bonus is their delicious bubble tea! We're visiting from Texas and I was skeptical but the reviews are on point.

    The fried chicken is amazing! It's a huge serving that will feed at least 2 people. Staff is always friendly and helpful.

    I dug right into the food. I apologize for not taking any pictures. This was a togo order. I did…read morenot call ahead. I showed up just after 5pm on a Sunday evening. They have a small and cozy dining hall that was full. I had all ready had an idea of what I would order but quickly looked at the menu just in case I wanted to take additional item home. I ordered papaya salad, pad see ew, and tom ka soup. I also got a thai tea to go. I might have waited 15-20 minutes for my order. There were also several call in orders that people came in to pick up. I am surprised at the speed they produced the food. The bench seat had a small view of the kitchen. I believe this is a very efficient full fledged family restaurant. Everyone was friendly and nice. The way they packaged the food was thoughtful. I had a 20 minute drive back home. It stayed warm /hot and no leakage even with the soup. Now the food: Papaya salad was delicious. Great flavor. My only issue is it was marked on the menu as spicy. *Morgan Freeman voice* -it was not in fact spicy. It was completely spice free. I know that SE asians are sweet to profile us pale people as no heat, but I was really looking forward to spice.... So for next time I will request heat added as I am a non-practicing alabaster person. To be fair, every fair complexion person with a togo order clarified that their food was "non spicy." I can't call them out for playing it safe. Yes queens. Pad see ew: shrimp was my protein. It was delicious. Regular broccoli was used. Chinese broc might be out of season. I don't care. It was great. Will eat again FR. Tom ka soup: the gem of this story. They made it without onions, be praised, as I have a horrible allergy and most of my one star food reviews are about food safety in relationship to ignoring food allergies. This was fresh, flavorful, bright. Great protein to both ratio. Probably one of the best versions I have ever had. Will be ordering again. Probably regularly. Thai tea: was great. Ice, tea, milk ratio good. I like less ice in my drinks... she somehow knew this. Now I know if I want Thai I have a place to call Thai Home (see what I did there), that I won't have to drive twice the distance to Portland to get fantastic Thai food. Honestly, I think this is way better than most of the thai restaurants in the greater portland area. Thank you for a wonderful dinner and subsequent left overs! 10/10.

    We stopped in on the way through and the food was great! Would stop by again for sure.read more

    We were interested in coming here because we loved the curry puffs we tried at the lake Fourth of…read moreJuly festivities earlier in the year. They were FANTASTIC! At the restaurant, we decided to try the basic Pad Thai and then the chicken fried rice. It was yummy but not as big of portions as I've had other Thai restaurants. (But that was ok, we didn't need leftovers anyway.) I gave only three & 1/2 stars for the following reasons. 1. Inside felt "dated" and a bit forgotten (see pics) 2. The service was "ok" I was hoping for more conversation or interest in us. 3. The area outside was very dark. It looked like the entire block was closed! 4. The curry puffs were a little expensive at $11.95 for 3 of them. (So we didn't get them) On a positive note, a nice touch was the soft music playing and the program on the tv showing beautiful images of Thailand. (See pics). All in all, we will be back to try our favorite curry puffs and maybe some egg rolls.

    Came into this establishment with very high hopes of a great experience, however unfortunately that…read morewasn't the case. Came in around 8 and got sat immediately with only two other tables being occupied. The server sat us quickly and we were given menus, we promptly got our order taken and it seemed as if we were judged for the spice level we requested and it was very off putting. The portions of food were good, however right after eating at this establishment I got sick to my stomach- with many symptoms of food poisoning. The staff were cleaning and shutting down the restaurant 30 minutes prior and did not check in with us at all during that time. When requesting for two boxes to split both of the things of food we had left, one quite a bit more than the other we were given two very small containers that only one of the meals would fit in. (By this I mean both containers used for one plate of food instead of one larger container) We stood up at the front for a while seeing people pass back and forth in the back without any kind of acknowledgment until our waitress finally made eye contact. The prices were very fair for Thai food, just wish I would have had a better experience.

    First time here... and staff was great. Very good service…read more I ordered the Tom Kha Ramen soup (takeout) as I wanted to try it. I then went next and did some quick shopping... and picked up the soup when I was done. It was waiting for me even though I was not gone long. Got home, put everything in a bowl... and tried to make it pretty! Chashu pork portion was small, but it tasted fine. The three shrimp included were yummy and large. The soft eggs were ok, as were the bean sprouts and herbs. The broth was sort of like a cross between Tom Kha and Tom Yum.... tasty though. The ramen noodles were basically one solidified block by the time I got home, so I just cut them up a bit before eating. I will have to try some of their other dishes too....

    We popped in here for lunch. It was pretty quiet but had lovely staff…read more We tried the steamed dumplings, pineapple fried rice, and the kahri noodles. The dumplings were very good. Looks can be deceiving but they were perfectly cooked, filled with meat and the sauce they came in was savory and sweet. The pineapple fried rice was lacking in a bit of seasoning/flavor. Texturally it was very good, cooked well. Adding in some sambal helped. The kahri noodles were very good, reminded me of drunken noodles. It states it's spicy, but there wasn't much, even with asking for extra spice. Overall I would definitely try again, but it wasn't spectacular.

    It was lunchtime and we were hungry. We walked around looking at all the menus in the windows of…read morerestaurants..... not really impressed. I mean if your in Long Beach, WA. and you want fish N chips or a burger, you my friend have found paradise. We wanted neither, especially not at these prices. Earlier we noticed a Thai Food place but it didn't open till 2:00 and it was a little before 1:00pm. so we kept looking for something we both wanted and after saying No to all of it including the Mexican Food place with their high prices, we noticed it was almost 2:00pm. We figured by the time we walk back Malai Thai should be open and we were right. There is No Handicap Access and it's only a matter of time before that becomes an issue.....more of an issue. We saw an older person with a walker go inside and sit at 1 of 2 tables. They don't have table service, Only Take Out. That's right, TOGO Order's Only! That was fine for us because the sun was shining and we saw an empty picnic bench next to a fish pond with a fountain, perfect. We both ordered Pad Thai, she had chicken, I ordered mine with tofu. Bought some cold cans of soda and waited. Our food came out pretty fast. Then again, we were first in line that day. We grabbed our stuff and headed out to the picnic bench, perfect. We opened our boxes and everything looked and smelled delicious and it was. We didn't really talk while eating. Just the sound of a coastal town and us getting busy with our food.I judge all Thai Restaurants by how they make pad Thai. Malai Thai has it down good. The best was the prices. For one thing, costal restaurants charge tourists rates on everything. Like more than double in some cases. Do they think we don't have an Amazon account. Malai Thai was priced fairly. We were very happy with our meal and how much it cost. Definitely coming back and trying other menu items.

    Foods: nowhere close to what the dishes were identified to be. We ordered Drunken Noodles and a…read moresweet chicken dish. The Drunken Noodle was not tasty and lacking in effort to boost its spices and herbs. Beef was sliced thickly and not tender. Poorly executed. Ambiance: it's a takeout place ONLY Service: quite timely in their promised readiness. Conclusion: would I return? No, for a takeout ONLY place, your dishes are the main attraction and it's not there.
