    Pineapple Yellow Curry with shrimp added
    Christine B.

    Tasty,strong ice coffee; beautiful selection of food; curry I'm still dreaming about! We went to Hawthorne three times on our four day trip and I tried something from this cart every time! I tried two different curries, the glass noodles were also delicious. Great portions too!

    Service was fast and lots of seating options at the eclectic and very Portland Hawthorne Asylum foodpod. Very fresh Thai menu. We just tried the pot stickers. Love the option to have a huge variety of food carts in one place. There's truly something for everyone here.

    Vegetable Egg Rolls
    Joanne S.

    3.5/5 One of the food carts in Asylum food carts. We got the beef salad medium spicy and the larb gai salad medium spicy. Beef salad was 4/5. I would definitely get it again. Spicy and sour. Perfect combination of savory and refreshing. Medium spicy was pretty spicy.. However the larb gai, although medium spicy was barely spicy at all. It seemed a little dry and bland. Definitely needed some more sauce/dressing. It was pork? Sitting on a bed of cabbage. Egg rolls were your typically egg rolls with sweet and sour sauce on the side. I wanted to try their mango sticky rice but they were out. Thai iced tea was good! It would get again.. but I'm usually not a huge fan since it's too sweet for me. If you prefer the typical sweetness of Thai iced tea not sure if you'll like it.

    Pad See Ew

    We love a good Thai food truck! My husband and I have been here several times and the food is so delicious and comforting that we keep coming back! This place is nestled in the Hawthorne Asylum Food Truck pod, which is great for a quick bite to eat or to hangout with friends. Order at the counter and get your buzzer, but don't go far because you'll be surprised with how quick the food is ready! I will warn you that the food is PIPPING hot, so give it a second to cool down before you take a bite. The pad see ew is awesome, my only wish is that it was a tad saucier.

    We love this food pod setup. Great variety of food, gas fire pit/dining area, lots of tables in the shade, beer and wine and great decor. This was our first time at Thai Thantawan. The woman at the counter was attentive and helpful. I ordered the veggie vegetable egg rolls, Pad Ka Prao - with beef and the Pad see ew - w/ chicken. Because I was sharing with my daughters, I asked for nothing spicy. We were given a beeper which went off after about 15 minutes. We took our food to one of the shaded tables and opened everything up. It was hot and we had to wait a bit to fully dig in. The egg roles were really good and flavorful. The sauce that came with it was a great accompaniment. The pad ka prao was good and the vegetables were great. The beef was tender and the sauce had good flavor. The Pad see ew w/ chicken was really good. The noodles were great and chicken very tender. The portions were big and we had leftovers. I would definitely come back if in the area.

    Yakisoba

    My mom ordered the Yakisoba here. She's not the biggest Thai fan but ended up really liking it and wants to go back for more. I had a bite and would concur.

    Pumpkin curry with chicken

    The pumpkin curry was absolutely amazing! The atmosphere is very casual. You have to try this place if you're every in Portland! Friendly service, to!

    Kindness and efficiency is key! We will definitely revisit this food cart... Probably next weekend! My husband ordered larb gai and I ordered the veg spring rolls.

    Pad See Ew
    Stephanie M.

    It was a wet June Sunday and my friend and I just got done screaming our little heads off at the Portland Pride Parade. I was cold and hungry and needed something warm, filling, delicious, and comforting immediately. When I saw Thai Thantawan out of the collection of food trucks available I internally screamed "Yes! Pad See Ew". Pad See Ew is always a reliable choice when you are too hungry to make complicated food decisions. Their Pad See Ew was excellent and was exactly what my body needed. I did get a little adventurous and ordered a Thai Green Tea which I have never had before. It had the wonderful creamy texture of a standard Thai tea but with a subtle Matcha flavor. Thai Thantawan is a great pick in this sea of food truck options.

    Ordered vegetarian spring rolls from here among many things from a variety of food trucks. I absolutely love thai food and it is probably my favorite cuisine so it doesn't take too much to please me when it comes to thai! We were not fans of these spring rolls. They came out to $5 which was reasonable, but the flavors were so bland that we couldn't even finish half of them! The tofu was really mushy and the peanut sauce was so thick that the roll couldn't pick it up. Will not be ordering these again if I return, but maybe would consider trying something else on the menu given the positive reviews here from other yelpers :) Giving 3 stars because of the great price point and friendly service!

    I wish I had enough room to try everything on the menu! I went with the Panang Curry and it did not disappoint. Very hefty portions.

    Easily the best Thai BBQ I've had! Each part of the meal pairs perfectly well with each other and…read moreis packed with immense flavor. Khao Moo Dang Pi-Set (5/5): Upgrading to the Pi-Set is worth the extra $3, which comes with all the standard options plus extra eggs, juicy dumplings, tender yu choy, and a side of bone broth. The five-spice pork is super tender and tastes very similar to char siu. The pork belly had a great crunch and was perfectly salty, which contrasted well with the sweet Chinese sausage. The dumplings are really juicy and justify the upgrade on its own, in addition to complementing the side of bone broth. Everything ties together when coated in their signature Khao Moo Dang sauce, which rounds out the rich meats with the perfect amount of sweetness. Logistics Tip: Takeout packaging holds up well, keeping the crispy pork belly from getting soggy on the ride home while ensuring the broth stays piping hot. Upgrading to the Pi-Set version further improves an already generous meal into an expansive dish that can easily satisfy a huge appetite.

    Wow. I think this meal is one of the best meals I've ever eaten. I was visiting with some friends…read moreand we'd all seen the hype about this place online so we decided to give it a try. I don't eat pork so I opted for one of the vegetarian options and I was not disappointed. The #22 Tofu Curry Noodle was so flavorful and absolutely delicious. Service was also extremely fast even though it was busy! Highly recommend this dish for vegetarians or not!

    We remembered Thai Peacock as good. Several years and one approaching curtain time later, we…read moredecided to see whether memory had been seasoning the evidence. The friendly staff promptly showed us to our table. A QR code stood in for the menu, an arrangement I tolerate rather than celebrate. One quick request produced printed menus and restored diplomatic relations. We began with shrimp salad rolls, which arrived remarkably quickly, with crisp, fresh vegetables. The accompanying peanut sauce was flavorful without being thick or ponderous. Frankly, the only thing preventing me from drinking it was a lingering respect for table manners. My spouse ordered the Egg Noodle & Basil Stir-Fry, generously loaded with shrimp. I chose the House Thai Peacock Curry with tofu. Its combination of Panang curry and peanut sauce was rich and intriguing, with just enough spice to keep each bite interesting without turning dinner into a test of character. The food arrived quickly, our server remained friendly, and the lively atmosphere made Thai Peacock an excellent choice before a show at Portland Center Stage. The restaurant we remembered fondly is now firmly back on our list. Thai Peacock earned an encore.

    How do I know about this restaurant?…read more For a very brief period of time, I decided to DoorDash... on a bicycle. It was very brief, due to the fact that Portland's hills are... well, I'm in a good shape, but I won't be in the Tour De France. A side benefit is that I learned where a lot of good food in Portland resides: Thai Peacock and Little Peacock made up a fair amount of my orders. How much do I like Thai? So much that I learned to make it myself, and I make a better than average Pad See Ew/Kee Mao... So when it came time for a lunch break, well, I couldn't wait to order from Thai Peacock. I got the Pad Ka Phrao (there was not an option for super hot / Thai hot... my one complaint about their system... more on that in a minute)... and started walking. It was easy to pick up, well labeled, and hot when I arrived. The reusable bowl (for the paper bag crowd who are taking notes.. this is Portland ya know)... was full of delicious meat and vegetables. The rice was packed separately, along with the single serving of added sriracha. The serving was more than generous, and good in its preparation. There are some caveats here: Thai Peacock does not make their dishes in the same way that many other Thai restaurants do... they do it with minimal ingredients, hoping you'll add on vegetables. It gets annoying when you're looking at ordering pad se ew, and you might otherwise get a similar dish for $7-$10 cheaper. The lack of an ability to add additional heat is also unwelcome. However, I understand that each Thai restaurant has its own way of making a specific dish. The generous portions make the bare bones dish a good value, if not the best representation of the dish I've had. This would be 5* for a group meal (no shortage of options, and consistent service), and 4* based on comparison to other Thai dishes at similar price points I've had. 5* here based on what most people would likely say. An extremely reliable restaurant with tasty food and generous portions deserves it.
