*As of 12/04/2024, it's still Take Out Only after Covid. They also posted 2024-2025 Holiday Hours (look at my photo).
*Remember to Check-Inn on Yelp to Get Free Thai Iced Tea or Thai Coffee! They let me substituted with Thai Coffee the last few times since I don't care much for Thai Iced Tea.
My son and I are a diehard fans of their Rice Soup! It is the best in the style they make it! We only come here for it.
Be sure to call before you drive over since they do close between 3-4pm, yet you still can place order ahead and pick up between this window. I had to do that on 12/04 since I couldn't get there until 3:30pm and they were cool with it. As always, be courteous, call ahead to confirm hours since Yelp listed hours are incorrect.
The laundry mat next to it a a bit worrisome at night so park accordingly, in and out with your take out and you should be fine. Take extra precautions existing from the parking lot since it located next to a busy corner intersection and gas station.
*As of 10/13/2023, during my most recent take-out order, I saw one of the owners pick up the phone and take an order. So they are going with the Covid's approach of no more dine-in, take-out only, with the added phone order.
My favorite item is the Rice Soup! Unfortunately, it only tastes good when eaten fresh and hot so by the time I bring it home, it is a bit sad and less yummy. Often, I would drive to the Clackamette Park nearby to enjoy it while having a wonderful view of the river.
As of April 12, 2023, STILL TAKE OUT ONLY!!!!! Check in on Yelp to get your FREE Thai Iced Tea! They were so nice and gave me Thai Iced Coffee instead since I'm not a big fan of Thai Iced Tea because it's always too sweet for me. They do want and prefer you order online to ensure you paid for your order up front; I totally get it since it's a small family-owned business and they can't afford for people not to show up for their orders for whatever reason. Consistent and tasty food quality similar to your homemade meals. Definitely don't let the outside...
Read moreSome of the MOST AMAZING Thai food that we've had outside of Thailand! The ONLY Thai restaurant that rivals Thai Smile's flavors and quality is the famous Lemongrass! (Long-time Portlanders KNOW the place that I mean.)
We had the Summer Rolls, Green Papaya salad, Pad Thai, Panang Curry, Thai Iced Teas, and various fruit juices. ALL were outstanding! (My only critique was that the Pad Thai was a little sweet, but that's just my taste.)
Each dish was beautifully presented and extremely flavorful, with layers of complex flavors that created separate dimensions all on their own! The Panang Curry was a particular standout...I literally GASPED when I tried it...the flavors were THAT EXTRAORDINARY! We're talking seriously GOURMET Thai food here! The portions are large to boot...so you'll likely be able to enjoy leftovers, too!
All of it delivered with excellent customer service, too! WE WILL DEFINITELY BE BACK!
Few restaurants in the Portland area are anywhere near THIS good, and fewer still are affordable any more, especially for us Oregon Natives. Leave Pok Pok to the hipsters, tourists, and trustfunders...and come on over to Thai Smile for some of THE BEST Thai food...
Read moreThe short reception girl was so ridiculous. Too arrogance and very full of herself. She was super rude over the phone and in person. First off, when she answered call, she said ‘yup’ when I said hello, that was her response. Seriously, at a restaurant? If you’re this arrogant, close your stupid restaurant. Who cares about your tasteless food. Customers are only doing well to support your business, there are millions of other restaurants out there with very nice humble employee from answering phone call to providing quality service, hands down. Thai Smile or whatever is called, does not have employees with good quality in them. From answering phone call to providing services in person was horrible and very ridiculous. Keep providing your bad services with your crazy arrogancy and rudeness, and keep losing customers. Or change your ways to providing quality services with respect to people and keep having returning happy customers. It’s left with you. I will never step into that stupid restaurant anymore, it’s full of bad atmosphere and disrespect. Food was horrible too, couldn’t eat the junk that was given to me. Had to trash it, and yet you’re proud with nonsense food you’re...
