In Short
This sleek spot fuses elements of old Siam like potted orchids and a massive bamboo parasol, with modern touches like acid-green and red walls, and modern Thai wall art. Pearl District dwellers and office types are drawn to the vibrant flavors. The menu features standard Thai dishes and intriguing house specialties. Favorite dishes include thin Bangkok rice noodles in a refreshing broth of tender pork and herbs and the spicy red pumpkin curry.

Decided to try a new thai restaurant with a restaurant. com certificate, called just before we got there to verify they would accept it for dinner since I had heard things about some restaurants not wanting to honor them at certain times, etc. Said they would. Arrived and older gentleman that works there, not sure if he is an owner or what, but was about the rudest person in the service industry I have come accross for NO REASON! As soon as he came to our table with an appetizer (first time he came to our table, a nice lady was there at first) he abruptly picked up my son's napkin and literally threw it down towards his lap and then started rearranging stuff on the table and slamming things around. We were pretty taken aback. It pretty much went from there. We were on eggshells our whole dinner. Should have just left. After dinner when I went to pay he tried telling me he wouldn't take the certificate so I told him I called just before we came in and was told they would. He then told me that since I didn't tell them at the beginning of our dinner when we sat down that we had the coupon he wouldn't take it. I put up a bit of a fuss at that point because that just sounded ridiculous. Almost as if they are trying to get you in there with the coupon and then purposefully not honoring it. Bad bad business as far as I'm concerned. And even worse is that when people are treated out and out rude when they've been nothing but pleasant, they tend to not come back and not say pleasant things about recommending the place. Doesn't seem like rocket science. Might want to think about that when business is whaning sir! Most people go out to eat to have a nice night out, not to get treated like dirt. You can gaurantee you won't see another penny out of my pocket or a nice word about the restaurant! The nice thing about restaurant. com is that it's a good way to go find new spots for dinners out and become a returning customer if you like the place. I think the only thing they may be doing is driving people away. Kind of defeating the purpose???

It is a lovely location with nice use of art. So, walking into the restaurant it starts off as a good experience; however, after I tried the food and then put up with the WORST service in Portland, or anywhere else for that matter, I quickly realized that I should have went to the museum for art and McDonald's for better food. And, since the art was somewhat a draw to the place, I am sure if Van Gogh would have tried this restaurant he would have cut his tongue out compared to his ear. It was really that bad.

The food is usually good; however, the service is not. They should learn some manners--when they give you the wrong order and you have to wait over 20 minutes for your what you ordered to arrive they should say something along the lines of, "sorry"....there is nothing special about this place.
