Major Let Down
1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

05/28/2008 Posted by jhighet

My husband and I went here on a solid recommendation and were very disapointed. Maybe I'm overly sensative when it comes to cleanliness, but the inside of the charming Victorian home-turned restaurant looked as though it needed a thorough cleaning. The walls and floor are spattered with food/drips and the decor is old and worn. The service was poor (one person for the entire restaurant on a Friday night) and the food mediocre at best. Actually, the tom kah gai (spelling?) soup was awful - tasted and looked as though something was curdled in it. Not at all like variations I've had elsewhere. All evening I was continually amazed at how this place could have come so highly recommended. I've been to thai food all over portland and there are countless others that far exceed this place. Oh, and on a final note, the menu is very overpriced.

Pros: none

Cons: ambiance, service, food

Editor's Review

The ultimate Thai dichotomy: chest-pounding heat in a sweet Victorian setting.  See the full editorial review.

Insider Tips

Look Good

Specify your spice tolerance when ordering: The tongue-writhing heat is a shocker to newbies. The scale runs from one to 20; err on the conservative side to start.
