Farmhouse Kitchen: Rushed from Seattle to Eat

We left Seattle in the morning, taking our time wandering along the coast—stopped at a small lighthouse, had a coffee by the sea, and just grabbed a sandwich at a highway rest stop for lunch. But by 4 PM, our stomachs were growling. When we saw Farmhouse Kitchen Thai Cuisine opens at 5 PM, the three of us rushed to the restaurant, scared we’d have to wait in line if we were late 🏃‍♀️! Luckily, parking was a breeze—there’s street parking right outside, and we found a spot after circling once. The second we pushed the door open, the vibe of Thai street food wrapped around us: polished wooden tables, 90s Thai movie posters on the walls, strings of dried lemongrass and galangal hanging from the ceiling, Thai pop songs playing in the background, and fresh limes and red chilies on a small table in the corner. It felt like stepping into a Bangkok night market stall—ambiance 10/10! 📝 Ordering Dilemma: Eyes Bigger Than Stomachs—Three Girls’ "Greedy Choice" Standing in front of the menu, we three immediately fell into “choice paralysis”—Thai pad thai, green curry chicken, tom yum soup… we wanted to try everything, but were scared of wasting food 😂. After debating for ages, we finally decided on: Thai Grand Platter (to try all the signatures) + Volcano Noodles (saw viral photos online, looked Instagram-worthy) + Thai Milk Tea (must-have for spiciness) + Coconut Sticky Rice Ice Cream (post-meal dessert). It came out to ~$69 per person—bit pricey, but we thought “we’re here once,” so we went for it! 🍽️ Dish Reviews: Platter Shines, Volcan Noodles "All Looks No Taste," Desserts Steal the Show 1. Thai Grand Platter | 🌟🌟🌟🌟 $120, $150 with Lobster Add-On This platter is a “godsend for indecisive eaters”! When it arrived, it was so big we could barely fit it on the table: braised pork leg, crispy fried chicken, coconut sticky rice, curry potato wedges, pad thai, stir-fried eggplant, papaya salad… 8 signature dishes total, enough to taste a little of everything. Braised Pork Leg: So tender it falls off the bone. The skin is sticky and coated in rich sauce—even the bone is flavorful. Dip it in the sweet-sour sauce, and it’s not greasy at all; Crispy Fried Chicken: Thin, crunchy skin (crunches when you bite down!), juicy meat inside with a faint lemongrass aroma—way more fragrant than regular fried chicken; Sticky Rice + Curry Potato Wedges: The rice is sticky, dipped in mild yellow curry. The potato wedges soak up the curry, full of coconut and spice flavor; Papaya Salad: Perfectly spicy-sour, crispy papaya with crunchy peanuts—refreshing after heavy dishes. Later we found out you can upgrade the platter with lobster ($150). Watching the table next to us eat lobster dipped in curry, we all regretted “not adding it”—definitely will try it next time! 2. Volcano Noodles | 🌟🌟 Instagram-Worthy, Too Salty After a Few Bites This dish was totally “for the photo”! When it arrived, the red chili oil piled up like a small volcano, topped with green onions and fried garlic—super photogenic 📸. The first bite was amazing: spicy and savory (heaven for heavy flavor lovers), chewy noodles. But after a few bites, the saltiness hit hard—it got more and more salty. We had to “rescue” it with Thai milk tea, and left half the bowl uneaten. Verdict: Good for posting, but skip it if you want a tasty meal! 3. Thai Milk Tea | 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Not Sweet, Perfect for Cutting Spice We three “fought over” this milk tea! The tea base is freshly brewed, with rich black tea aroma—milk and tea balance perfectly, not “too sweet” or “too bitter” like some spots. With ice, it’s refreshing and cuts spice perfectly. We loved it so much we ordered a second round on the spot! 4. Coconut Sticky Rice Ice Cream | 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Rich Coconut Flavor, Sticky Rice Is Yummy This dessert was a total winner! The ice cream is scooped fresh, packed with strong coconut flavor—creamy like clouds, no ice crystals. The sticky rice underneath is soft and chewy; eat it with the ice cream, sweet but not cloying, with a mix of coconut and rice aroma. We scraped every last bit of rice from the bowl, agreeing “this is the best Thai dessert we’ve ever had” 😋! 📍 Final Thought: Must-Try Thai Spot in Portland—Don’t Miss the Platter & Desserts Even though ~$69 per person is a bit pricey, the authentic Thai street flavors and the chance to try multiple signatures make it worth it. If you’re craving Thai food in Portland, head to Farmhouse Kitchen: Order the Thai Grand Platter (add lobster if you can), Thai Milk Tea, and Coconut Sticky Rice Ice Cream without hesitation. Skip the Volcano Noodles (unless you just want photos). #NorthAmericanLife #PortlandEats #PortlandThaiFood #ThaiPlatter #FoodDiary #PortlandRestaurantHop
