Spent Thanksgiving week in Oregon and was so lucky to have discovered this great Thai restaurant…read morewhile vacationing in Astoria. The food here was near perfection and warranted multiple visits in our 4-day stay in Astoria. The corn fritters were a great crunchy way to start the meal. Think fried creamed corn patties. The accompanying sauce tasted great and paired with the dunkable corn fritters they were a perfect appetizer. The fresh rolls, were just that, re-freshing. The peanut sauce was great. The chicken wings were fried perfectly, were crispy, and seasoned so wonderfully. I ordered these on each visit and enjoyed them every time. The Chicken Larb was good, not the best I've ever had, but very respectable. The chicken was not dried out, like a lot of places. The dish could have used a bit more spice and seasoning, but it was still very good. And lastly, the Shrimp Spicy Basil Stir Fry was delicious! It had perfectly sautéed shrimp, great spicy hot basil sauce, and vegetables that were fresh and delicious. It was so good and ate really well with. Just white rice. I can't wait to return to Astoria...I will definitely be back here every day they're open.

Wow, this a giant step backwards. Why would you have a sit down Thai restaurant serve food on paper? Are you too cheap to hire a dishwasher?

Were they hand made or Regular Frozen ones one can buy at any market I asked. Hand made he said. But they weren't. Typical Costco, 50 rolls for $12. The waiter brought the plate with 4 rather slim Rolls and sauces. Beware of the hot mustard! The rolls had very little inside, a few strands of sprouts. They went down in a flash. So we ordered another plate. Total..8 slim Spring rolls. We were shocked that they charged $11.75 x 2. Total $23.50 for what should have costs anywhere, maybe $11.75 at the most. Beware. They were not home made. The Kung Pao Chicken, was predominately chopped celery, little slivers of chicken, no peppers, nothing special. The Lo Mein Vege, was enough to feed 3 people. Hard to screw that up.So..just a nothing special Chinese, very expensive, most likely better value at lunch. Won't be going back.

That said, I've eaten it ordered from ladies squatting next to rocket stoves on the street...and I want my Thai properly spiced, like my eyelids oughta sweat. American Thai food is adjusted to our tastebuds. So, I typically get it as hot as I can, and add my own chili dust. Folks, I have met my new go-to Thai! They offer spice levels one through five. I ordered it a six. The server told me she could adjust it up to a nine spice level, if I needed that. Um, no ma'am! Six is delightful! Phad Thai tends to accentuate the savory and sweet in most presentations. Not so, this savory, crunchy, tart, and fiery masterclass in Thai noodles! It was incredible. I cannot wait to go back and put myself at the mercy of their amazing presentations of what many will visually recognize as "Thai"......but your tastebuds are in for a treat! This is a destination food truck, people! Wow. I decided, on the strength of the Phad Thai, I should taste the Thom Kha Gai I ordered before I chilled it for my intended lunch tomorrow...... Yeah, so Dee Dee has spice DOWN! Her food also has the delightful flavor layering I love most in really good SE Asian food. The mushrooms in the soup? Buttery, and perfectly cooked. A delightful springiness. The tomatoes are bright and soft. The onions still have body, and onion flavor........and there's a lot of lemongrass and galangal floating around in there! Like the other entree, the Thom Kha is super special. I'm so glad this is a local option for me......my belly has a delightful burn, my lips are only slightly numb, and I'm really content with my Thai tea and mango juice. Love this place already.

So we had to give it a try. Positives: -reasonable prices -friendly service -the fried rice was good and drunken noodles look to have been cut from scratch. Negatives: -khao soi was a little salty. -location is smaller so you might not be able to get larger parties in that easily. Overall 4/5 We are very seasoned Thai food lovers. Our review might be nit picky because of that too. However, for a Thai spot in a small town this was good and deserves its praise.
