Visited Thai Pod recently and was thoroughly impressed! I ordered the pad see ew and it was an absolute delight. The food arrived fresh and piping hot, packed with an abundance of delicious veggies. Not only was the portion size generous, but the flavor was also truly exceptional. Highly recommend for authentic Thai flavors!
We went here yesterday for a quick lunch, and were absolutely amazed. Walking in the door was like entering a greenhouse, there were just that many plants. The waiter was as friendly as any I have ever met, and the food, when it came, was delightful. The pumpkin curry was perhaps the best Thai food I have ever had. I will definitely be back next week.
So myself and three friends came for dinner here last night. The gentleman who was working the front of house was one of the best servers I have ever seen. He was genuine, helpful and loved the food he was serving. This family run restaurant is a must visit but please beware, when it said hot it means it’s hot!! Il be back next year for sure!!
I didn't realize that I have only ever left bad reviews of things. I have to be pretty angry or worked up to bother. But last night I had dinner and was eager to get home and write this review.
We all know there are 200 Thai restaurants in Portland, and all of them are good. A few are really good. Thai Pod is hands down the best Thai I have ever had, and that includes the several trips I have made to Thailand.
I had dinner there with my friend, who is actually between trips to Thailand, and agreed that it was as good or better than anything else he has ever had.
The flavor was just amazing. I am not one for spicy food, so my food tends to be a bit on the bland side elsewhere. But our dishes were powerful in flavor and dynamics. Every bite was delightful and encouraged a compliment. We couldn't help but talk about how good it was.
Plus it's a cute little place, great for date night, inexpensive. Again, hands down the best Thai I have ever had.
For the time being, this will be my secret spot 👌🏿. I'm sure at some point people will realize how good it is and it will be too crowded. Until then... secret. Also, they can make things vegan (just let them know). And Auntie makes good Thai iced tea and the food is made to perfection 😋
Nice little restaurant that could accommodate our large group of 12 people. And they didn’t mind us paying separately.
The food was tasty, each portion is quite large. We would definitely come back if we’re in town.
The food is good. The service is decent but if you arrive during the dinner rush you may be waiting a while; they get a ton of to go orders. The atmosphere is adequate; you wont be wow’d by it but it isn’t dingy either.
Couldn't wait to take a picture before😅 but I had number 32 same as the picture and it's unbelievably delicious! people there are very welcoming and nice. I've been going to another thai restaurant thinking that's real thai food until I came here, it's different experience for me because I didn't know what's real thai food taste like. This is going to be my favorite thai restaurant for sure.

Ordered delivery today and it was fantastic! Finally a Thai place in Portland that brings big flavor and actual heat. The pad Thai, fried rice, and fresh rolls were the best we’ve had in town. Medium heat was perfect and actually spicy… like Thai food normally is in other cities but for some reason rarely is in Portland. A new fav.
It's a very nice spot, great for takeout or dining in. The staff is memorable and personable, you'll be remembered from your previous visits, and the atmosphere is filled with lush houseplants. It feels like you're visiting friends or family who happen to cook wonderful Thai food.
