Yin Dee Thai Cuisine — Restaurant in Tualatin

My BF and I went here randomly to grab some Thai food. The place looked nice, so we thought we'd give it a go. The parking lot was very tight and limited on spaces due to sharing parking with an apartment complex. I was very surprised that as soon as we walked through the door an extension cord ran across the entrance floor. I made a point to tell my partner to not trip on it. He's much taller, so it wasn't as easy for him to see. Other than that the place looked clean smelled nice. The staff were polite, so it pains me to say they weren't as professionally kempt, as I would have liked or as aware of customer needs. The place wasn't busy, and they had ample staff. So there was no reason for the service to be so laggy. I'd love to say the food made up for the other stuff, but unfortunately, the food and even my drink wasn't very good. We ordered the Pad See Ew, Yellow Curry, Summer rolls and one Thai Iced Tea. The pad see ew was over cooked or something because it was super sticky and clumpy. The curry needed salt as it was very bland, but they didn't offer salt on the tables. The summer rolls only came in tofu and were open ended on both sides, so after the second bite all the insides fell out the back. Even my Thai iced tea was bland. Usually, Thai teas are sweeter, but this was watered down. The brighter side was they put this really cute, little dog ice cube of some kind in it which was a nice surprise. But it didn't help with the flavor. Total cost of our meal was about $45, plus tip. So all in all, I really wanted to like this place but was disappointed. I would probably give this another chance in the future, but my BF says he won't go...

6/01/25- We've been back a couple more times and still very good! Trying out their other dishes. And took more pictures.

First time. I'm always on the search for new restaurants in different towns or cities. I usually don't give a 5 right away because I think there should always be a room for a little improvement. I've given the highest 5 to a very few places, ones I call the Top Exemplars. This place isn't very big but it's nice and clean. When we came in, it was after lunch so they were just cleaning up some tables, looked like. The waitress was very attentive when we sat down. We ordered a lot of food as usual. Their Thai food was done authentically. It was very delicious and tasty. We love the pork skewers. My favorite was the prawns and glass noodles. My husband's favorite was eggplant stir fry with pork, which I thought was very good too. Everything was served in a nice presentation. There are not very many Thai restaurants now who make their food as authentic anymore. Same thing with Chinese restaurants. It's sad. When we come around this way, we'll definitely come back to this place. I hope they'll never change their values in their...

My pregnant wife was craving coconut ice cream, so we decided to stop by this restaurant to try it out. At first, the male staff member who greeted us was polite and welcoming, which gave us a good impression.

Unfortunately, things went downhill quickly. A female staff member—an older lady—was incredibly rude in the way she spoke and acted toward us. On top of that, kitchen staff were whispering and giving us judgmental looks, as if we didn’t belong there or were somehow a problem.

I honestly don’t understand—since when is it acceptable for customers to come in just for dessert and be treated with such disrespect? My wife is pregnant, and all we wanted was a simple sweet treat. The attitude we received was completely uncalled for.

The only saving grace was the coconut ice cream itself, which was absolutely delicious. No complaints about the dessert—it was top-notch.

But sadly, good food alone isn’t enough to make up for the lack of basic courtesy and professionalism. We won’t be returning, and I hope management takes a serious look at how their staff are treating...
