I had been very eager to visit this place after hearing such wonderful things about it. And it was indeed wonderful for the most part. Great atmosphere - indoor/outdoor dining with cool Thai "street" décor. The service was top notch and the food was delicious. We ordered a lot of dishes - appetizers and mains - that we all shared. The sweet potato fries and spicy dipping sauce were awesome. And the pumpkin curry had a good sweet/spicy balance. Other dishes included the beef with wide noodles (cant recall the name) and the spring rolls. Those were good, but not great. There were just two disappointing aspects of our visit: First, the cocktails - a Moscow mule and a cucumber-basil infused vodka concoction - both were terrible. I felt guilty for not liking them since I watched as the bartender freshly grated and carefully muddled the ingredients to make them, but alas they were just Bad. The second disappointment was the shrimp and rice dish I ordered (its blue crab on the menu, but they substituted shrimp for me). There were only 4 shrimp in the whole dish - not particularly large shrimp at that - for an $11 dish. I even verified with the server that the dish was supposed to have Four shrimp in it. Just disappointing for the price. All the same, Ill likely return. The flavors were great and the atmosphere even better. Great place to meet up with friends. Ill just stick to non-shrimp menu items. And beer.

A server in nap, ladies in the kitchen in chat, used dishes on tables. It was about 1600, so I understand that its not the busiest hour but they should be ready for guests during the business hour per their website. Even I like the food here, Im pretty sure that this place will go out of business soon unless the owner makes some change. And according to their website, they should be open 1100 - 2200. When we called at 1540, they said they opened at 1600 and claimed that its their break time. When we visited at 1610, I was told that Id have to wait for 20 min. 1. Business hour in the website is not aligned with this branch. Our dinner planning was messed up due to this. 2. They were not willing to serve. If they said theyd open at 1600, then they should be ready at 1600.

Fantastic addition to the neighborhood. Not your typical Thai food. If you like Pok Pok, try this place for a fraction of the price! The happy hour is unbeatable! We really havent had a bad dish and weve gone over and over again. I judge a thai place by its peanut sauce. I seriously licked the little cup clean.

Ate here often when I worked across the street. Food is always fresh and full of flavor. The calamari and pad thai here are top notch! Only complaint: when ordering a couple of the lunch items I noticed a pool of oil in the bottom of my to-go container.

authentic Thai flavors. Great light touch, not the standard american style thai food with over-chili-oiled grease bomb. fun interior atmosphere and fast service for take out. Will be back!

Really like the vibe of this place, very friendly staff too. Loved all the food, you can ask for most things to be 100% plant based, they have them marked on the menu!

Very unique flavor and decor. This is now our favorite Thai place in the Beaverton area now. Friendly service and plenty of curiosities to keep the kids occupied

Excellent food, amazing service, Thai iced tea is highly recommend. This place never disappoints, best Thai food around town by far!

Mistakes in our order, example the papaya salad was spicy and the cook just rinse it under water and back to the table (all watery)

Good spot for for a few starters. Didnt order any main dishes. Fairly small inside but have seating outside as well.

Their happy hour rocks. A little on the pricier side but very tasty and good service.
