Opened the meal with the "Nibbler Platter" to sample the appetizers without breaking the bank. This consisted of two greasy and bland chicken satay skewers next to two lemon grass pork skewers that were completely indistinguishable from the chicken. Also included was a below-average veggie spring roll cut in half that was dripping oil from the fryer. The high points were the fairly tasty "Bag of Gold", but these were also saturated in oil. The low points: Kra-thong ton - room temperature flavorless crumbles in a pastry cup, and the fried wontons were just gross - room temperature meat mash in greasy wonton. The sauces were not bad, but not interesting either. Cost for a plate of "blah" food: $14.95, not including tip. Only one entree to review, the "Death by Asparagus". This was rated ***, or "Yee-haw" spicy according to Typhoon!. It was $12.95 for 6 shrimp with asparagus in sauce, and the total portion size was about half of what you would expect in any other decent Thai restaurant. The garnishes were carved with a high degree of skill - I wish they had saved some labor expense and added more asparagus or shrimp to my meal. It was fairly well balanced as far as the flavors, although this was FAR from spicy. I was shocked at how unimpressive the heat level was. If that is as hot as they offer, that is just pitiful! They have a large tea selection, but no "house" tea. If you want tea with your meal, be prepared to pony up $5.95. Cocktails are on the expensive side, especially for Gresham, unremarkable wine list. Service was mediocre, given the high staff to diner ratio, and several different faces delivered the food over the course of the meal. I could have gorged myself on delicious, spicy, and interesting offerings at Halo Thai rather than go home still hungry and feeling ripped off.

I absolutely love Thai food, however, I usually find myself inside those little hole in the wall joints where I stick with my familiar Pad Thai...I was a little hesitant to try Typhoon (as it IS a chain restaurant,) but am glad that I did, I have a new favorite!! I went in for dinner on Saturday night with a few of my girlfriends (who were more frightened than me to try their first Thai food,) we were seated in a large booth by the window...our waitress was over in a matter of minutes to take our drink orders, and direct my friends around the menu. She explained the difference between the curries, and answered whatever questions we had, she put us at ease. We decided to do a family style dinner so everyone could try a little of everything...I don't remember what everything we ordered was called, but it was all delicious. At our waitresses suggestion we tried the Siam curry (I think it was called?) it wasn't too spicy, and contained mainly seafood. It was TO DIE FOR! Typhoon is not the closest Thai restaurant to where I live, but I will make the drive, and I'll be back!!
Pros: Delicious Food, friendly/attentive service
Cons: the floor plan of the restaurant is fairly open, a more private atmosphere would be desired!
