    We were seated in the train cab area and it was warm even during the end of winter time. Our server was super kind and attentive. We came here for Portland dining month and was thoroughly impressed with the food! The tom yum soup was a standout. $35 for all three courses was such a good deal! We plan to come back to try more menu items. Although there are plenty of Thai restaurants in the area, this one was one that stands out.

    The food here is absolutely fabulous! The fresh ingredients, flavorful sauces, and beautiful plating are all superb and the combination lets you experience your meal with all of your senses. I've been here for dinner and we shared many plates so that we could all try a variety of menu items. Hard to pick a favorite but if pushed, believe it or not, I loved their fried rice dish and their massaman curry. Both seemingly ordinary dishes but nothing short of spectacular here! Every bite a taste sensation. Met a friend here for lunch today and we started out with one of their craft cocktails to celebrate the holidays. It was perfection. The names are as fun and entertaining as the drink! For lunch I had the Pad See Ew, not a dish that I typically order because the sauce is usually sweet. I prefer Pad akee Mao for the spice and complexity. But at Phuket Cafe, they don't do the overly sweet brown sauce. Their sauce had the traditional flavors - sweet, salty, sour, spice, bitter - creating a harmonious balance that sings on your tongue. The dish was served with some hot sauce on the side, but it didn't need it. It was perfection right out of the kitchen. This is a small restaurant with a colorful bar as you enter, a few booths, and some high top seats at the Chef's counter. That's where we sat because it's fun to watch the chefs prep and do their magic. Outside is a covered hut that's warm in the winter, so don't pass if that's the only seating option. Phuket Cafe lives up to the hype. Earl Ninsom (culinary) and Eric Nelson (cocktail master) know how to deliver! Already looking forward to my next meal here.

    We went for Portland dinner month and tried their tasting menu. The fried chicken with the sauce for app was delicious and would chose that over the prawns which we also tried. I'm always confused why they put such good sauce over a shelled prawn. Where you have to de shell it and lose half the sauce and now you're a mess ‍. For the main, the Massaman curry was delicious and sauce super flavorful. The Tom Yum Noodles were average and wouldn't get them again tbh. Thai tea tiramisu was delicious.

    Panna cotta dessert: winner

    We were very impressed, expectations exceeded. The salty lemon/limeade and the Angostura-based Southhampton were excellent non-alcoholic starters. Loved the Mon Tod, will order two next time. If you're a fan of crispy potatoes you should enjoy this. Their Pad See Ew is a cut above the norm, lots of oyster sauce. The Yum Pak provided the greens; we topped it with very juicy turmeric chicken. The panna cotta, "jello", and pandan crisp dessert was light and flavorful. Service started a bit off, but ended nicely. Parking can be a little tricky. Everything from this restaurant group has been wonderful.

    Nice spot with delicious food and a cool ambience. Great for sitting outside on a nice day.

    Fried chicken. Pork belly.

    Been here a few times now for brunch, lunch, and dinner. Dinner is by far the best experience, mostly because of the menu options. It gets busy so service can be a little slow but everyone is friendly and doing their best maybe just a bit short staffed. Dishes tend to be a little more salty for me.

    What a cute refined casual cafe situated in a lovely neighborhood! We didn't have reservations but were able to sit immediately in the outdoor seats by the window. Thankfully it was a cool evening and the sun had already set. Our waitress was very nice, recommended the perfect amount of food for two. We got a salad, fried chicken, and a pad Thai. Food came out hot and fast, and we were blown away by the flavors. Can't wait to go back!! There's some street parking but most people seemed to have walked over. There's also covered outdoor seating.

    I'd heard a lot about this spot and decided to stop by during lunch. We ordered the Muu Kua Grua, Gai Tod Ko-lea, and Chicken Pad See Ew. To be honest, the Pad See Ew was far too salty--we couldn't get past two bites. I've had much better versions at other restaurants, so that dish was a definite miss for me. That said, if you're looking for an inexpensive lunch, this place could be worth checking out. As for the Gai Tod Ko-lea, it's a solid choice if you enjoy boneless fried chicken. Personally, I prefer bone-in, and the menu didn't make it clear that it was boneless, so I'd skip it next time.

    I have heard many amazing things about Phucket Cafe and was excited to try it out. An FYI, unsure if this was something that happens often, but I believe on certain days Phucket Cafe shares their restaurant space with Lang Baan. So sitting for Phucket Cafe is cut in half, which means a longer wait for a table. Just to keep this in mind, if you don't have a reservation. The staff was friendly, and the service was amazing. Since it was our first time, our waitress really helped us pick out the right drinks and dishes to try. For drinks, we ordered Crimson King, 55555, and a seasonal special cocktail. Both delicious and refreshing. For the dishes we ordered, Pad See Ew, Pork Fried Rice, and Tom Yum Noodles. All are full of flavor and well-balanced. Our favorite was the Pork Fried Rice. Excited to come back and try different dishes!

    I was really excited to try this more "fast food" version of langbaan. We were able to be seated without a reservation outside. The food was on the more salty and drier side so it wasn't for me, but the best part of the meal was the crispy potatoes in the massaman curry!

    Noodles for lunch in the covered outdoor area
    Benjamin S.

    I enjoy dropping in here for lunch, especially to get their soup noodles. It's cute to sit in their covered outdoor seating area. My sister and I came recently and I ordered the curry soup noodles with grilled chicken, which is like a khao soi. The curry flavor was just right for me and the chicken was cooked tenderly. My sister had the tom yum soup noodles and while she liked it, she did find the spice level a bit spicy for her (they didn't ask if she wanted it adjusted, and I don't think they can adjust). A lot of the other lunch items, especially the snacks, were fried things that I generally avoid. Service is friendly and the food comes out pretty quickly.

    Thai iced tea - would recommend
    Lina T.

    I came here for a friend's birthday dinner and it did not disappoint! The flavors here were quite varied and it took us on a flavor-filled adventure, that's for sure. The restaurant had patio seating for the night we dined. The outdoor seating area was enclosed and had heat warmers, which we were thankful for as it was quite cold outside. The service was good, we were getting checked on regularly and didn't find it too hard to ask for any service needed! The pickles we ordered to start we're just ok, I think I'd skip that if I were to dine here again. For the sizing and flavors, it didn't seem worth the cost. The fried tofu was quite flavorful with the generous seasoning. The Thai tea was quite sweet, but not the sweetest I've had (which is a great thing!). Normally it's way too sweet, but this was ok! I think it was needed because the heat from the Fresno chiles in the green curry flank steak plate was real! We didn't think we'd feel the heat, but it was definitely there haha. The prawn curry was tasty with the addition of all that lemongrass. I love lemongrass so it was a wonderful dish. I liked it better than the steak dish. The Paella dish was probably the most underwhelming. It didn't feel like it was unique enough for me to order again. Almost felt like just another seafood fried rice. I thought the portioning would've been a bit more too, but they did fill it up with seafood though. All in all, I think with the nice service and some solid dishes, I'd recommend this restaurant for a nice dinner out. A great Treat Yourself day or take a friend out for a birthday meal. However, not likely for a regular/casual dinner as it didn't scream homey Thai food nor feel like a hole in the wall bang for your buck type of place.

    There was some nice outdoor seating, but it was way too hot, so we opted for indoors. The fried potatoes were amazing -- perfectly crispy with a really tasty sauce. The chilled tofu was fine -- super soft, almost melt-in-your-mouth, with a nice spicy kick. The curry noodles were delicious too. The Parasol cocktail, though... probably the highest ice-to-drink ratio I've seen in a while.

    What a lovely spot for brunch! My partner and I stopped in here while walking up and down 23rd and…read more21st. The interior is attractive and very modern, and there is a large covered and heated patio if you prefer to sit outside (we did). The service was a little bit slow, but not egregious and the server was very friendly. The menu is not extensive, but it has good variety and everything on it looked excellent. All of their ingredients seem high-quality, and they have a number of gluten-free and vegetarian offerings. I ended up getting the eggs benedict, which came with a little salad. The salad was fresh, not wilted, and came with a light vinaigrette. The eggs benedict was absolutely stellar-- perfectly poached eggs, creamy hollandaise, and grilled halloumi to give some well-received brine to the bite, all atop an english muffin. For the price point and the quality, the portions are good. My one wish was that I could have subbed my salad for some of their potatoes! My partner got the pork belly hash, and thought that the potatoes were cooked perfectly-- crispy and well-seasoned. He did notice that there were only a few pieces of pork in the dish, but we chalked this up to the ingredient quality. We ended up staying for Happy Hour, which was fun! We got the fries with garlic aioli (so good!) and I ordered their daily cocktail special, a margarita. They gave me a good, heavy, pour, which is always appreciated. Great brunch spot if you want to go somewhere a little chic.

    Woah, it's been a while since I've been out for brunch because brunch foods are kind of bland to me…read more- but Bar West really nailed it with their food and cocktails. We got the Benedicts - one with ham and one with halloumi. Both were great and I just loved the colorful greens salad on the side. The tart dressing paired so well with the rich bechamel sauce and yolky eggs. For drinks, we got one of the espresso martini month specials - the tiramisutini. It was a more unique take on the espresso martini and I loved the slightly tangy mascarpone cream on top. It's definitely in my top 3 of the month. We also tried their delicious west coffee cocktail, served hot with some delicious oat whipped cream. Service was great and friendly. It was pretty busy the entire time we were here on a Sunday. We had reservations which may or may not have been needed but it seemed like a good idea. The bar is very cute. Overall I would definitely come back for another brunch or in the evening for drinks and dinner/snack!

This is an area with a lot of competition, so they mostly rise to the occasion. The space itself is modern and clean. The most unique feature is the two salt pillars in the bar area. I was told that I could lick them during/after certain drinks, but elected to pass on that unique invitation. Maybe next time? I ordered the two taco special that came with a fresh beer on tap. The beer was good (as expected) and the taco portion was adequate. However, the food came out at room temperature, so I recommend that the cooks work to find ways to deliver the food items in a way that preserves the temperature prior to having it served. It's possible that this was a one off, but it took away from the experience a bit for me. Parking is an ongoing challenge since it's NW Portland and very few businesses have their own dedicated lot. The drink menu was appealing and their liquor options were impressive. I definitely plan to try again and see if my food experience is a bit more elevated on a second stop.
