If you're reading this and wondering, "Hmm, should I (we) go here..." the answer is yes. Yes, your search is over. Make the trip to Thai Yummy. Especially if you're new to OHSU. Portland has tons of good Thai food places, but Thai Yummy is the best. It's sort of a hidden gem because although it's well-known at OHSU, it's the lone food truck up on the hill so a lot of Portlandians don't make the trip up. You should.
I've been coming here for almost 5 years, I've ordered everything from the Basil Fried Rice to the Pad Prik King to the Yellow Curry and they're all fantastic. By far my favorite is the Pineapple Fried Rice (w/ chicken, spice level: medium plus). It is literally my favorite meal in Portland. The chicken is delicious and tender, the initial spiciness from the rice is countered with the tanginess of the pineapples, followed by a hit of sweetness from the raisins and soft cashew nuts (and I don't even like nuts in my food) and a final hit of spiciness from the crunch of flavored onions. All in one bite.
Summary: -Delicious food -VERY fast (~10 min from ordering to eating) -Owner is awesome -super affordable prices -not one mistake w/...
Read moreThis legendary lunch spot is a favorite of community members and OHSU employees. The food is phenomenal and generally less expensive than other dining options on the hill -- including the OHSU cafeteria which has much worse fare, making it a great option for employees or patients who don't mind a short walk.
Includes many Thai classics such as Pad Thai, Pad See Ew, as well less common dishes. I particularly like the Pad Woon Sen, which is loaded with delicious veggies and perfectly fried glass noodles. The salad rolls are practically famous and sell out quickly. Plenty of options for vegetarians, and spice level can be adjusted up or down as necessary. Beverage options include Thai coffee and Thai Ice Tea, which are pleasantly sweet without being overpowering.
Staff is friendly and attentive. I've been dining here for 3+ years and when there has been a mistake (rare) it was quickly fixed. Service is quite quick except at peak hours where wait times can get up to 20 minutes or so.
Overall one of the best (if not the best) options for dining on...
Read moreThis place is great! We live in Eugene but my wife and daughter found this Thai shop near OHSU a couple years ago year. This was my first time and I ordered the barbecue pork fried rice and loved the fresh flavor. My son got the same but without the onions and they were happy to cater to his mild spice request. My wife had the Pad Woon Sen and thought the sauce on the noodles is the best she's found in Oregon! My daughter got the Pra Ram with chicken and a big side of peanut sauce. She especially loved the fresh carrots and the peanut sauce. We also ordered a side of spring rolls and it came with a side of plum sauce. It came with 4 rolls, one for each of us. For drinks, my wife got a Thai iced tea and my daughter got a Thai lime tea that she thought was fantastic! The Thai lime tea, I think, is a drink we haven't found at any other Thai place. You have got to...
