Sunee Thai and Lao Kitchen — Restaurant in Portland

Tonight my family and I went to eat at this place so happy, and we order fried rice for my mother in law and my husband and I order noodles and everything and once they bought our food which we waited about 45 mins the food was not what we asked for so my husband told them that he didn’t ask for that and so they didn’t care, they didn’t bother to ask him which one he wanted so I told him to go talk to the cooker which it end up being the owner to bring him what he wanted. (I did not touch my food cause I was waiting for their food too!) After 10 mins they bought a suppostly “NEW PLATE” which we are sure is the same one but they just added more things to it and end up being so gross! So my husband talk to the owner and told him we are paying for only a soup that was so delicious which that’s the only thing we ate together. And he was super rude and said “so you don’t want to pay for anything else?” And my husband was like no cause the food is gross and he’s like what about ur wife’s food and my husband said just charge that when obviously I didn’t touch the food at all. So he payed and than the owner told him “LETS GO OUTSIDE TO TALK!” So my 4 year old and my mother in law and my self stayed inside but than I saw the owner getting so close to my husband like trying to fight him and When i went outside, the owner was yelling and my husband and he had a normal tone of voice telling him that “do you think the food is free that I don’t pay any of this” and I told the guy to please back off that he can talk to my husband from a normal distance than his wife came and my mother in law started recording and the lady started yelling and being super rude and she said if we wanted her to record it too, so I told her to go ahead and she looks so furious that she’s like “well theirs cameras already out here” and I applaused her cause she was loosing her temper. Her husband the owner was saying something to her in their language like telling her to calm down because she was yelling at my mother in law for recording when my mother in law did not speak a word! It was just the worst experiences that I’ve ever had in a restaurant in...

I really love this place. I order the same thing everytime ( yellow curry & cream cheese puffs) and it tastes the same every time. I can't express how much I appreciate that, I have weird eating habits and having something that's consistently the way I like and remember is 10/10. Being so particular, I HATE cooked carrots and will not eat my food if there's carrots in there 🤣 I order the yellow curry with a note saying please no carrots and they ALWAYS check the note and made sure to add the carrots.

I called after placing my order today, I didn't see the "no carrots" note on the receipt so wanted to make sure I put it down and the woman on the phone was so sweet and kind. It's wild that you can show so much sweetness in your voice in a 30second conversation but she was not at all annoyed with me for calling-- said the note did print but she'll make sure it's extra yummy for me. I'm really sick right now and the only thing I want is this curry-- I don't have much of a voice and speaking has been challenging so I'm assuming she could pick up on the fact that I'm unwell. And being so sick I haven't had much human interaction in a while so it was just really nice, a covid human experience haha. I think this is a great person to keep in your business-- to be able to read a situation quickly and respond in an empathetic way is not a quality all people possess and it's really valuable! It's hard to explain but she went out of her way to show care In the way she handled my short call and it was noticed and appreciated.

In going through my past orders, I've had it perfectly (for me) 19/20 times. The only time it wasn't my favorite was b/c it was too spicy but I'm sure it would have been perfect for someone else. Consistency is everything for me and I'll be a customer for a long time! Thank you so much! I...

I live in hood river and the company I work for in Portland orders food from them for our staff meetings. I pretty much have lunch here everyday so I call my order in advance prior to my lunch and is always ready by the time I get there. Very affordable. The food is simply delicious curries are my must haves no matter what Thai restaurant I go to. This is the only place I know so far where I have had pumpkin curry. I have also ordered their pretty much everything in their menu that comes with noodles. I don’t eat seafood so I cannot make any comments on that, the place is always extremely clean, smells good and welcoming.

Sadly I read some negative reviews about this place such as the lady complaining about waiting time. restaurant food is cook to order no in batches so as with any restaurant is best to plan ahead , that’s why some require reservations.

I feel that I need to comment on this one : Comment read :

Weird smell on her food. As a connoisseur of international gastronomy Indian , Thai African, central and Latin American cuisines among others I can respectfully say that perhaps her deprived palate doesn’t know about the richness of fish sauce, shrimp paste , oyster sauce , staple ingredients in Asian cuisine. I feel that most people that leave negative comments for restaurant’s is either because they are unfamiliarized with the food and don’t know what to order or forget that food varies depending in region. My recommendation is ask and be mindful that each country uses unique spices , sauces and other ingredients that you might not be accustomed to , Food is culture be respectful and if you are not up to trying new flavors you might want to stick to those...
