Charm Thai PDX Restaurant — Restaurant in Portland

Let down.. My girlfriend and I were very excited to eat here because of the social media presence making everything look great.

On arriving though, we asked what the wait was, and the host responded that a table is open so we’ll get you once it’s cleaned off - 20 minutes later, they call us in. Turns out, they said this to everyone waiting, kind of a bummer. The service was fine, apologetic for the wait, the drinks and food came pretty quickly. Thai iced teas were pretty watery and bland. They were out of a dish we were wanting to order, so we got our standard dishes for Thai restaurants, yellow curry and Pad Thai (also ordered crab sticks). The Pad Thai was mostly without flavor and very mushy, no textures at all. The curry was also bland with the exception of some spice, vegetables were undercooked and the rice was sticky/chewy. The crab stick was the best thing of the night, which I’d give a 3/10.

Less than halfway through each dish we both started actually feeling sick and didn’t like the flavors anyway, so asked for a check.

The chef was notified we didn’t want to go boxes and wanted to know the issue, so I politely tried to communicate them, but was verbally bulldozed about how I was wrong and the dishes are good / the way they’re supposed to be. As if I haven’t eaten better Thai food in Portland monthly. Awkward.

We paid and within ten minutes of leaving my girlfriend actually threw up from feeling so sick. The total bill came to $55, but I would have paid more to have avoided the...

Amazing food! Open until 12 AM 🤩

This is not you average Thai takeout joint. This is a hidden gem on NE Broadway. I would recommend calling for reservations or be prepared to put your name on the wait list and then check out one of the nearby bars (Capitol is recommended) for a pre-meal cocktail. The small restaurant is playfully adorned with copious faux flower arrangements in the entryway, the walls, the ceiling. The staff is endearing and attentive. They seemed genuinely concerned that we didn’t finish our dishes (we had intentionally over-ordered to try several items) and hoped we had not disliked their food. The cocktails are worth sampling. We both tried the Mai Tai which is fruity and flowery but not too sweet. The two appetizers we tried were the tofu fresh rolls and shrimp cake. Little details like a small dollop of a hot pepper reduction behind the tofu rolls or shavings of Lychee on the salad accompanying the shrimp cakes highlight their attention to detail. The Massaman short ribs were masterfully braised and fork tender with vegetables that were not overdone. The sauce was elevating. The Pork Cha Shu was also perfectly cooked with its own delicious sauce. The crème brûlée was prepared in a wide and shallow ramekin to maximize the upper sugary crust . We will be back. I don’t know why it took us so long...
