Thai MLK — Restaurant in Portland

This place is incredible. There are so many Thai places that I've tried, but I have to say that this one takes the cake.

It's just a little cart right on the side of MLK, but that adds to the allure, really, because this little place packs a BIG punch.

The workers there are always super friendly and provide great customer service. They get the food out quickly, and have a smile on their face while doing so.

The main draw for this place, though, is the food. It is so darn tasty. The sauces are always on point and incredibly flavorful, and there is a good balance between amounts of rice/noodle, veggie, and meat/tofu. Speaking of tofu, this is truly the finest tofu I've had at a Thai place here.

And maybe the best part of all, the portions are GIGANTIC. I mean, you're basically getting two meals for the price of one! I always have leftovers for the next day, which is incredible.

Please check this place out. There are a lot of Thai places in pdx, but I'll cut to the chase and tell you that...

Thai MLK is not only one of the best Thai spots in Portland (and there is competition for sure) but the owner and head chef is a master of their craft and an angel.

I can't recommend this spot highly enough–the food is incredible, the peopole are amazing and lovely, and they work harder than you ever have in your entire life (myself included). If you try the "fresh rolls" or the "som tum salad" or the "eggplant basil" or pad kee mao and have a problem, I will fight you and...

Ordered: Chicken Pad Thai Chicken and Chicken Pineapple Curry

Pros: Both dishes were rich and very flavorful. They definitely didn't skimp on the seasoning, spice included. I will definitely be getting more food from them again. I'm excited to try the fried rice. Also, the price was pretty cheap for walk-up service.

Cons: Minor gripe, but the rice for the curry was undercooked and a bit crunchy still. Also, they only take Cash, Venmo, or CashApp so come prepared to not use your card/Gpay/Apple pay.

Edit: it looks like they...
