Tom Yum Thai Cuisine — Restaurant in Portland

Stopped for lunch with the family on New Year's Day. I've been here before a few times but this one stood out. The menu has the standard range of rice dishes, noodle dishes, salad rolls and fried snacks. Tom Yum soup, larb salad and a few fish options. Choose your dish, then your protein as can be found at many similar Thai restaurants in Portland.

I have always enjoyed Tom-Yum Thai's red curry duck. Ordered it again today, and was impressed with how it differed from times before. From memory, the Red Curry duck has always had pineapple, bell peppers, Thai eggplant, and then usually shredded roast duck. This time it had slices of roasted duck breast with succulent roasted skin still on(though not crispy from being stewed in with the curry broth) and some chunks of nice and juicy leg meat. The pineapple was chunky, the peppers still had some snap, and the flavor of the curry was excellent. My mom had the Tom Yum soup, which the 4 of us shared, and my wife enjoyed their Massaman Curry.

I thoroughly enjoy Tom Yum Thai, but today's experience will definitely make me want to come here more often. Thanks for an...

My boyfriend and I went into Tom Yum Thai Cuisine on May 12, 2018. While my boyfriend and I were eating our food, a waitress approached us and asked if we were enjoying our food. We responded that we did enjoy the food.

As she started to walk away, she paused and took a step back since she recognized my boyfriend from when she use to work at another Thai restaurant called Thai Peacock.

She said a few things:

1. That he looked familiar
2. That he use to eat at Thai Peacock
3. That she talked about him to another waitress (her friend) at Thai Peacock
4. That her friend went into his old work, Clark’s, and told her about where he worked

During this whole conversation, she was staying at him the whole time. She said things like, “So, you like eating here?” “Do you like the food?”

She didn’t even acknowledge me since she was so focused on him.

The worst thing about this is that she has approached us at a DIFFERENT Thai restaurant she use to work at doing the same thing - bringing up how she recognized him from Thai Peacock.

I’m there as a customer, buying a meal. Stop flirting with...

Many of these 'perfect' reviews must be fake. I don't post many reviews but I have to warn Thai fans about this place. The only good thing on our $60 order was the satay chicken. Even with that the peanut sauce was too sweet. The curries were way too salty, especially the green curry which was inedible. Tom Kha had good flavor but the chicken was bland and chewy (common problem). The meat in every dish except the satay was low quality, tough and fatty. The Take-Out staff member made no eye contact and gave brisk orders to me on checkout. That wouldn't bother me so much if the food was decent. I didn't think it was possible to have 'bad' Thai food. It has always at least been 'meh'. Maybe some people love the saltiness, or mistake it for flavor. I felt dehydrated after dinner. I'm searching for a new go-to Thai place after moving too far away from Thai Noon. I'm starting to think Thai restaurants need to post weekly schedules of their chefs/cooks. So...
