    I came here recently because I wanted to not have to cook over the weekend (lol). I'd been here before, but wanted to try some new things. After a couple minutes of looking at the menu, I made a decision, and when I turned around there were suddenly 5 people in line! Dang it! I waited for a few minutes and started laughing because I wanted to order the Garlic Chicken dish, and 3 of the 5 people in front of me ordered it. That'll make it easier for the cook! I placed my order and waited. It only took about 5-10 minutes! Crazy fast! The gentleman running the register was very friendly, gave me some extra sauces and sent me on my way. The food was excellent! I lived off of the spread I bought for the next few days, and it was a treat every time. I'm definitely planning on coming back again... there's still so much good food to try! If you're looking for a super conveniently located food cart and have a hankering for Thai, come to Thai Garden! You won't be disappointed!!

    Where are the pineapple, onions, garlic and flavor?

    Horribly terrible...My "Pineapple Fried Rice" was shocking. (see picture) It was basically white rice stir fried in oil with cubed Chinese sausage, shrimp and frozen peas and carrots. Absolutely NO pineapple, no garlic, no onions, no seasoning of any type (not even salt, fish sauce, or soy sauce). I have never in my entire life encountered such awful "fried rice". How are they still in business?

    Basil fried rice goodness!

    This cart has won me over. I'm very glad the food carts have been doing well on this side of the hood. This mom and pop food cart cook the food fresh and the affordability is amazing. Even on a rainy day, I can sit in the covered patio and enjoy big ass order of basil fried rice in peace. They put the right amount of hot peppers in my dish to give me that sweat but still taste the rest of the food. I think I managed to eat 75% before throwing in the towel. For $6, my happy belly thanked me for the delicious meal. I have been here on a Sunday during the day so there is some activity at this cart pod. I got to sample some of their "ninja wings" that they also own across the cart pod. I will definitely make it there someday. The service is friendly and sociable. I felt very welcomed when I arrived. I will continue to come back if I ever want my Thai fried rice fix!

    Cute! 5 stars for cuteness!

    ROAD TRIP SUMMER 2016 According to my $ search on Yelp, there were food trucks 7 minutes away from our hotel. Ten of us walked there, and even though only 4 or 5 trucks were open, we all found something good to eat! The Thai place was the cutest so I ordered dinner there. Besides, I was craving something a little healthy since I've been eating a lot of junk food during the 10-hour drive. For $12, I was happy with my meal. The egg rolls were bland and greasy, but the sweet sauce made it better. The Mussaman Curry was more than enough for two adults and one toddler, but we wish there were more chicken....at least it came with white rice. I enjoyed the thai ice tea very much so my niece ordered one too. Woo hoo! I'm ready for the next adventure!

    Where is the menu? Truly baffled at how I order from a cart with no menu...

    I don't think they have it online, but if you look at the menu photos on yelp, they have anything on there. They are awesome. Just call them and ask.

    Do they still only take cash?

    nope, they take cards

    After days of working my way through Portland's wildly overhyped Thai food, I had begun to wonder…read moreif the problem was me. Maybe Thai food was simply better in Los Angeles. Then I walked into Eem, sat down, took a few bites, and realized the problem was, in fact, everyone else. Eem is a Thai and Texas-style barbecue mash-up that sounds slightly unhinged on paper and makes absolute, beautiful sense once it hits your mouth. This is the kind of fusion that doesn't feel like a gimmick. It feels inevitable. I started with the Sweet & Sour Fried Chicken, one of their most popular dishes, and for good reason. Savory, beautifully fried, shatteringly crisp on the outside, juicy and tender within. Exactly what fried chicken should aspire to be. Then came the Wok-Fried Yu Choy. And dare I say it? The best vegetable dish I've ever had? Yes. I think I dare. Spectacular. Deep, smoky, savory, with enough personality to make you briefly question why you ever needed meat in the first place. But the Smoked Pork Krapow is where they really got me. Krapow is traditionally a dish built around seasoned ground beef, but Eem takes the idea somewhere else entirely, folding in pork belly burnt ends. It sounds like excess. It tastes like genius. Smoky, fatty, spicy, deeply aromatic. Completely blew me away. And then there's the room itself. Warm, colorful, playful, beautifully decorated without trying too hard. The service was just as good. Welcoming, attentive, confident, and Portland hospitable. They know exactly what they're doing. Eem didn't just redeem Portland Thai food for me. It reminded me why you venture out to eat in the first place: to discover something you didn't know you needed. So do yourself a favor. Go to Eem first. Before you start categorizing Portland restaurants as Thai or barbecue, before you begin comparing them to other Thai restaurants, before you get trapped in your own expectations. Just go. Because if "Keep Portland Weird" means anything anymore, surely it means putting Thai food and Texas barbecue together, making it work brilliantly, and serving it with a smirk. Thank you, Eem. You just gave me another very good reason to come back to this weird, wonderful town.

    Eem was such a fun Portland food experience! We tried the white curry with burnt ends, and WOW, it…read morewas weird in a good way. A Thai-meets-American bbq. The the combination of smoky, tender barbecue with the creamy Thai curry was so good. The burnt ends brought that deep, savory, slightly charred flavor, while the curry gave it a completely different dimension. The flavors worked well. I just wished the burnt ends were more fatty. We also tried a pork belly dish, which was another highlight. The pork was rich and flavorful, and I loved the crispy fried egg, green beans, cucumber, and fish sauce with it. If you're visiting Portland and want something playful and different, Eem is absolutely worth checking out!

    I haven't been to Southern Thailand, but I have spent enough time in Malaysia and Singapore to…read morejudge roti canai/prata, and the roti and curry here is really excellent. You can watch them frying the roti in front of you, they have a great flavor (they're a bit on the thick side), and the curry is absolutely sublime, with an incredible depth of spices without being hot. I also really enjoyed the freshness and textural blend of the "rice salad," with great cucumbers and herbs, although it was too spicy for my dining companions. I admit I didn't think the fried chicken was anything special--the chicken was moist (even the white meat), but the outside could have been crunchier. But I'm not the biggest expert in fried chicken, nor in pad thai, and both were certainly competent even if not as exceptional. Sticky rice was also cooked perfectly.

    My meat-loving friends adore this place, so this review is solely for vegetarian food. 3 stars for…read moreveggie food, 4 stars on Yelp because I'm not interested in damaging a star rating, just sharing info for vegetarians. There is only one vegetarian item on the menu, the veggie curry. It's sort of an afterthought, throwing a bone for the vegetarians in the group. (Could they not make a vegetarian version of the Southern pad thai, just to be a pal?) The curry sauce is tasty, but the veggies were completely undercooked. Raw, tough, spongy pieces of underdone eggplant. It was like the person cooking it did not know what to do with a vegetable. The roti is tasty (I'm not familiar enough with Southern Thai to critique it). But if there's just one veggie item on the menu, and it's just vegetables in a curry sauce, I feel a restaurant should take pride in getting it right. Seating is a little tight, but somehow that adds to the atmosphere as you end up sharing a table with strangers, which is fun. Service is fast and food came out fast (too fast, in the case of those poor eggplants).
