This is my first time eating at this cart and I was beyond pleased. I ordered the sexy crab rolls which are crab rangoon in egg roll form, and the pad thai with tofu. The roll has a light and crispy texture and the filling (imitation crab) was flavorful. The pad Thai tastes just like authentic Thai street food--the strong tamarind made it stand out from other pad thai dishes I've had around Portland. I can handle a fair amount of heat and the medium was great. Probably could have handled the "hot" level but the medium gave an enjoyable amount of heat. The owner/cook was friendly. I'll be back. read more

I LOOOOOVE this food cart. Super grateful to have a place with vegan options down the road from me. Their avocado curry with tofu is amazing as well as their fried tofu, and the workers are really nice and welcoming. read more

Ton Kao Thai - Avocado curry with tofu - Food Trucks Near Me - Portland, Oregon

We really enjoyed this little cart for lunch. We were trying to go to another soup cart on a cold day on 28th & when they were closed we opted for this place & we're glad we did! Tom Kha soup hit the spot & we loveddddd the mango sticky rice (thanks for having that when it was out of season!) read more

Ton Kao Thai - tom kha 10/10 - Food Trucks Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Yall the crab fried rice here is so on point! Amazing price, portion, and with that medium heat just hits right!

Delicious, premium thai! I'd try again and again. I had rhe pad see ew, the bbed was tender and the noodle was next level

The Pad Kee Mao was on the lower end of the spectrum of the many Thai options in Portland. The bamboo flavor overwhelmed. Conversely, the mango sticky rice was very good. read more

See all

Pretty average Thai food. Not good but not bad. Not too much else to say. There are so many great Thai places in town so not for us.

Omg! Finally edible, authentic Thai food in Portland. I'm so happy. We have had a really hard time finding good Thai. We just had this delivered fro. Amazon. One taste of the Tom kha and we instantly knew we found a place worth eating. The food is delicious! Portions are a little small, but worth it if you are craving Thai. read more

Decent Thai food, but disappointed in the giant single-use plastic containers they serve some dishes in. I'd been aiming for Saint Burrito in this cart pod, as they've been on my list for awhile, but unfortunately were closed when I arrived. Decided to try this place as their menu had some interesting sounding dishes on it. I went with the jackfruit curry, which was just pretty standard tasting. The chunks of jackfruit were so large they needed to be cut to fit in my mouth, and they don't give you a knife to do it (not that I wanted to waste more single-use plastic). The rice was kinda dry and just ok with the curry, which was bit runny. Felt guilty after they served my dish in a big plastic bowl with plastic lid and utensils. China isn't recycling our plastic anymore so all this junk just ends up in a landfill forever. I did appreciate that the food was served very warm. read more

Thai green tea... game changer. A must try. 10/10 Very nice people, give that Thai man a raise! read more

It took coming her three times to find a dish that really blew my mind. I am team Mango Cashew Paradise all the way! Overall, The Positives: wonderful service The Cons: small portions, cabbage heavy entrees, and too lightly seasoned read more

I ordered from here on Postmates, and everything came correctly. I like am really into Thai Food usually, but I have to say this is not a 5-star place, it like is very average and I would say 3-stars. Maybe I am missing out from something on the other reviews about the Pad Thai, who knows. Yea, just wanted to write this review on that. Also like my food looked nothing like the other past photos on yelp?? Check out my pic. When I order online I use yelp as my reference so this made me super sad. read more

Ton Kao Thai - a box of noodles and shrimp - Food Trucks Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I was super excited when I noticed this new little Thai cart open up in the pod down the block from my apartment. Not knowing much about it I was skeptical, but today I had the biggest craving for some Asian stir-fried veggies so bae and I walked over to Ton Kao. He went with his favorite, Pad Khi Mao & I tried the Pad Pak (mixed veggies) with white rice and shrimp. Both dishes were a healthy portion size, the sauces were tasty & most of all the food was fresh! My veggies were not overcooked and the shrimp didn't taste like they had been frozen forever (altough I do feel like it was about 30% carrots (which I hate haha) and 30% celery, and the rest were mixed). We'll be back again for sure! Excited to see how they do in this pod :) Best of luck, Ton Kao Thai! read more

Newly opened Thai cart that serves fresh food. Definitely my new go to spot for Thai food that is authentic and fresh. Curry was delicious and I recommend trying their specials like the lemon grass beef. They also serve a unique Thai tea drink that is infused with green tea (matcha), definitely recommend trying it if you like Thai iced tea and green tea. read more

Ton Kao Thai - "Sexy crab rolls" were delicious. - Food Trucks Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Orderd the Lemongrass chicken and was blown away by the burst of flavor and delicate taste of lemongrass. Tasty sliced chicken cooked to delectable goodness. I'll come back and order the mango delight next time. Dang probably should have taken a photo before digging in, but couldn't help it. Smelled sooo good! read more

Ton Kao Thai - a box of food - Food Trucks Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Probably my favorite Thai food truck EVER. The workers are attentive and offer a high level of service. Not only that, but their pad thai knocks it out of the park. I've never been a huge fan of pad thai until I ran into this place. Paired with their thai green iced tea and you've got yourself the best thai meal in Portland. The food tastes fresh and authentic. How better can it get? If you add sriracha to the pad thai, it take it up a notch. Their drunken noodles are also delish. Check this place out, you won't regret it. Definitely a bang for the buck kind of place. read more

This is one of my favorite places to eat in Portland. Some of my favorite dishes are the ton ka soup, the crab rolls, the cashew nut chicken, and the pumpkin curry. read more

The pad Thai and the pad khi mao were bland and forgetful. Service was good, and they have good options.

I wish you could give half stars on Yelp, I would definitely give this place a 3.5. We got food delivered last night, and I would call it perfectly decent if you're craving Thai and are too lazy to leave your house. The Tom Yum soup was my favorite, perfectly seasoned and delicious. The crispy thai basil was also good, with big chunks of chicken AND shrimp. I thought the Kaprau Fried Rice was fairly basic. My honey loved the sexy crab, I didn't care for them, only because they were more sweet than savory, and that's not my thing. Overall, decent food! read more

I was just blown away by the most delicious Thai food lunch! I devoured the Cashew Mango Chicken and it was incredible! I ordered it medium even though I don't usually eat spicy food. It was perfect. And I am FULL! I'll be getting Ton Kao again soon. read more

So good. Straight-forward, fresh Thai food without being boring or greasy. Vegan options are great, veggie Tom yum had legit veggies, none of this pity-lettuce-for-the-vegs business. Service is very friendly, prices are fair. Will be back. read more

I really enjoyed the vegan duck. They have a 1-5 spice level. I got 3, and it was awesome. They had several vegan options, so that's always nice. I'll definitely go back. Recommend! read more

I had the pad kee mao. It was just not good at all. The only flavor was fish sauce, which was overwhelming and unpleasant. The noodles were over cooked. The vegetables were soggy and bland. It was truly bad. And overpriced, especially considering the poor quality. read more

I honestly tried the food for the low prices so not surprised it's low quality. I ordered chicken pad thai, fried crab wontons, and pineapple pork fried rice: the meat is very sketchy, it was basically just cream cheese in the wontons, and I refried the fried rice because it was so soggy. Not trying to be mean, just a heads up if you order the same thing. Wasn't worth it. read more

yoooooo. Today i walked in feeling something new and they recommended he mango curry w/ chicken. Not just the pad thai and drunken noodles are amazing but this dish is gooood. The sweetness of the mango accompanied the spicy side of the curry. Can't wait to come back!! read more

Used to go to the restaurant they had out in sandy on the way home from work, just found out that they moved a lot closer to home, in food truck form, still the best Thai Food in town! 100% recommend. read more

I'm speechless. I ordered the Pad Thai, Mango Sticky Rice Dessert, Sexy Crab Cake Rolls and Thai Tea... the food took a little while to get done, but the wait was WELL worth it! I want to go back everyday! I would highly recommend it! read more

Well, well, well, frozen green beans and frozen crinkle cut carrots in pad prik king? Really? Pad kee mao with no flavor. C'mon!! $11 per portion. Way too expensive for this nonsense. read more

Can I say wow?! The food here is AMAZING! I ordered the pad Thai with tofu, the sexy crab rolls, and the Thai iced green tea! Not a single droplet of disappointment.
