Here’s some reasons why this is the best Thai in Portland.
The people are incredible. They care about their customers and make you feel like a friend.
I haven’t gone through their entire menu, but the Pad Kee Mao is one of the best I’ve ever had in my life and I eat A LOT of Thai food.
They’re open till 3 AM
At least when I was there the wait time to get your food was very short.
After going I’m not surprised that they’ve been there for 15 years. I hope they’re there forever.

I had a fantastic experience here! I let them know that my son has a peanut allergy, and they were incredibly accommodating and careful with our order — which I really appreciated. The chicken pad Thai was amazing: not dry at all, with a perfectly balanced sauce,The fresh cabbage and carrots added a nice crunch, and the small egg roll on the side was a cute and tasty touch. And I have to say — the Tom Yum soup was incredible! Full of flavor, just the right amount of heat, Definitely coming back!

One of my first favorite food spots ever since I moved to PDX in 2021. Just ate here again in 2026 and they’re still going strong. Love their crab puffs, yellow curry, and my favorite complimentary egg roll

Great food and the staff is really nice. They also have options for how spicy you would like your food. I had the low and I feel like I should have gotten medium. If you ever want quick but really good Thai. This is the spot and a lot of food for the amount you pay.

If you’re in Portland and craving incredible Thai food, look no further than this gem of a food cart! My friends and I, visiting from Toronto, stumbled upon this place and it was easily the best decision we made on our trip. The service was outstanding, and the staff was incredibly friendly, making us feel right at home. On our first night, we tried the Pad Thai and egg rolls, which were simply amazing. We also had their Thai iced tea, and it was great!
We were so impressed that we returned the next evening for more. This time, we had the fried rice and crab rolls, which were just as fantastic. If you’re in Portland, don’t miss this food cart—you won’t regret it!

Super quick service with delicious food. Delighted to see that the pad thai came with a mini eggroll!

Just ordered from here, and they get pretty busy, so I recommend calling ahead.
We got:
– Cashew Chicken
– Pad Thai
– Pad Kee Mao
– Champa Fried Rice
– Yellow Curry
Cashew Chicken: Decent flavor, but it was loaded with veggies and onions—perhaps too many.
Pad Thai: It tasted okay, but it lacked the authentic flavor, especially the depth that fish sauce typically adds. It was also a bit dry.
Pad Kee Mao: The flavor was fine, but the ratio of noodles to veggies was off. There was an abundance of veggies and onions, but very few noodles, though the tofu portion was generous.
Champa Fried Rice: Unfortunately, it was really soggy and not enjoyable. The soggy rice overwhelmed the dish. It seems the steamed rice was too dry and undercooked, so they might have added water to soften it, which just made the dish worse.
Yellow Curry: This was probably the only consistent dish, with a good balance of everything. It leans on the sweeter side.
Steamed Rice: Dry and undercooked, with lots of hard pieces. It wasn’t Jasmine rice—it tasted like long-grain white rice.
Although this is a Thai truck, and the dishes came close to taste like Thai flavors, there was something missing. We believe it’s the lack of fish sauce. The seared of the wok, the quality of ingredients.
The gentleman mentioned they don’t use fish sauce, which is unusual since Thai cuisine typically relies on it heavily. Maybe he meant they don’t give out fish sauce?
Fortunately, we ate this at home and were able to mix in some chili oil and fish sauce to add more flavor. Without it, the food would have been quite bland.
Overall, I’m surprised by all the 5-star reviews. While the location is convenient and open late, several aspects need improvement, particularly in portion sizes, balance, and the quality of ingredients.

This place is the best. We were staying at the Jupiter, up late looking for food and stumbled on the best pad Thai I’ve ever had. Great curry too! Delicious! Enjoyed chatting with him and appreciated the advice on spots to see!

Best pad thai I’ve ever had thus far! The Michelin guide one from TO pales in comparison! This pad thai had the perfect mix of flavors—the right amount of sourness, savoriness, and sweetness. It’s so, so good!! They have the most excellent customer service as well! We also enjoyed their veggie rolls, fried rice, crab puffs, egg rolls, and iced tea! Would love to return again! xoxo

Stopped by here after a pedalpalooza ride. Delicious food! I promise I’m not saying this just because I was starving.
I saw so many people order to go. It’s an alley way gem that is right outside of a strip club (could be a two birds one stone situation for some folks)
