Thai Baan Thai Cuisine — Restaurant in Lake Oswego

We usually go to Dangs in LO for Thai - thought we'd give this new place a try.

The good: People working here were very nice. Clean little place. Fresh rolls (both shrimp and tofu were better than Dangs 5/5 stars). Squash curry w/chicken. Very nicely done good flavor and squash was cooked perfectly. 5/5. Mango salad very fresh and tasty, crisp green beans yum 5/5.

The ok/not so good: Pineapple rice with chicken was just ok. Not much flavor. 3/5 The Thai iced coffee was tasty and worth the price. 4/5 Portions/Price - prices were comparable to Dangs down the street but the portions were a bit smaller. Kind of like paying dinner prices for a lunch sized serving. 3/5.

The ugly: Generally our favorite dish - pad khi mao with pork. The pork meat was really good. Way better than dangs 4/5. However, the noodles were so overcooked the dish was more like a bowl of lumpy mashed potatoes with bits of pork and somewhat soggy vegetables. We picked out the pork bits to eat and scooped the rest into recycling. 1/5. Spice/Heat. We ordered some dishes mild and some medium spice but to be honest I didn't really notice any heat whatsoever 1/5.

I'll go back for the Fresh rolls for sure - maybe try another dish too. I'd recommend giving them a shot. Overall 3.5/5 but with some...

I had dinner here on a Friday night and it was fantastic! It is our new go to place for Thai food in Lake Oswego. This location for Thai Baan used to be Kurata, the Japanese restaurant, but they have moved on/retired. Kurata’s was a wonderful place and we are so glad that this place is now here. Delivering high quality Thai cuisine at decent prices vs the other place in town. We had the Tom Yum soup, Pad Thai with chicken and the Penang Curry with chicken. All were spiced just right and the flavors were spot on with the best Thai food I’ve had. We go there early, around 5pm on a Friday, and was able to get a table without a problem. We left around 6pm and it was starting to fill up. If you are in the mood for Thai food and are in the area, do yourself a favor and go here. Additionally, my wife is gluten intolerant and they had no problems...

I've read all the reviews. I find them hard to believe. Maybe we just hit a bad night (12/22). The Fried Calamari looked like onion rings, had a thin strip of tough calamari with a ton of breading. All the same size. They were out of a box. And they were terrible. They were out of the cod so I ordered the teriyaki salmon. It was overcooked. Dry. The Pad Thai looked nothing like the pictures on this page. There were no ground peanuts, out of bean sprouts (substituted broccoli), no lime, a very small amount of egg, no green onion, and it was swimming in a pool of the sweetest sauce I've ever tasted. It should be illegal to call that dish Pad Thai. I ordered a soju to drink. It wasn't real soju. A much lower alcohol content with a strong fruit flavor. Overall, a very disappointing evening. I wanted this restaurant to be good since it's so close to us. So...
