I was craving Thai food during our trip to Portland (maybe because of cold weather and rain). So after doing some Yelp research we ended up in this small spot. I like that the interior of the place is authentic yet quite modern and the owner/chef/waiter (I believe it’s the same person) makes you feel welcome there.
I had yellow curry with chicken and it was full of flavors and had a nice velvety texture. The spiciness was on point as well!
Food was great. Very authentic Thai, good ingredients. Good service. The spiciness of the food is measured on scale of 1 to 5, but 3 seemed pretty spicy. I will definitely come here again.
The food was / is amazing. Very understated location. Definitely worth a stop.
My aunt is Thai, and I have never had any egg rolls that stood up to her’s right after they were done. That changed today. This is the best egg roll I’ve had in a long time. 100% recommend.
Stop looking, you’ve found it. This is the spot. Try the soups, get the curries. When I tried the broth for the first time I almost fell out of my seat. Amazing high quality food!
Wow! So delicious. Ordered the mushroom fritters, mushroom veg soup, coconut soup and salad rolls. Everything was sooooo gooooood. Friendly service, decently priced.
Best thai food I've had in a long time. Didnt have photos because the food was so delicious we ate it all before we could. The thai tea you can get coconut milk as a non dairy substitute, the papaya salad was fresh, citrusy, and crisp and comes in a really cool tall clay pot! The pad thai with shrimp was cooked to perfection. Ask for it medium spicy! I would ask for spicy because for Oregon population they have made it extremely mild to be nice to sensitive people. These people are so sweet and deserve your money. Its clean, they have hand sanitizer on every table. Support! Go in now before it's too late! 100% satisfied in every way. Family owned.
Best fried rice I’ve ever had! I eat a lot of Thai food and this place is exceptional. Went twice this week, both times front of house was entirely run by 1 lady doing a spectacular job. Very impressed with everything.
Mee Gin is a standard for our family. We absolutely love it and are never diaspointed. Beyond the Thai staples, they have some really interesting and delicious items that we haven't seen at other resturants such as the fried mushrooms or mushroom salad. I'm always shocked there aren't more people there as it truly is a gem. Highly recommended! The full bar is a nice touch as well.
Hands down the best Thai food in Portland. I’ve been a repeat customer here for 3 years and nothing compares (and yes I’ve tried many other places after moving further away).
Highly recommend the lettuce wraps and salad rolls with the sauces meant for the lettuce wraps instead of peanut sauce. Also portions are huge and things like the crab fried rice has a rather generous helping of the crab. Tom sum soup is also another favorite.
The staff is extremely nice and even remembers you which is nice in a small-big town like Portland.
This restaurant has the best Tom Kha. They use a different mushroom than every other Tom Kha I've had in town. They're long, white, and slender vs the normal porcini looking ones. It totally changes the taste and takes it above any other I've had in Portland. The rest of the food has also been good.
The service was phenomenal and the quality of the food was excellent. I was pleasantly surprised with how delicious everything was. We ordered the salad rolls with the hot peanut sauce and the Mee Gin Fried Rice as the entree. Both were full of flavor and we just couldn't get enough. The tofu was also cooked perfectly. I highly recommend this restaurant.
Didn't realize Harlow closed early on Sundays but it worked out in my favor because I finally tried this place next door. Definitely coming back.
Because I live right off Hawthorne, there are so many Thai places to choose from, but Mee Gin is my favorite in the area. The pineapple fried rice is my favorite, and I generally don’t like pineapple in savory dishes. Somehow, though, they make it work well in the yellow curry. If you dine in, the water is infused, and it’s refreshing and delicious. It has a sweet, slightly upscale vibe (not too upscale though, you’re still on Hawthorne) without being snooty. I’ve always found the restaurant itself to be very clean with polite servers, and everything I’ve tasted has been full of amazing flavor.
I thought I had found my favorite Thai place in SW, but this place beat them pretty easily. Everything looked fresh and had great flavor, well seasoned, and the pandan leaf flavored water was a total treat! Tastes like fresh toasted rice/coconut - very refreshing, and has some cool medicinal qualities as well. Great service there too.
