Monsoon Thai Cuisine 4236 North Mississippi Avenue, Portland, OR 97217

"We stopped here after an Improv showcase for one of our young adults. It was between this place or a bar type restaurant. We had a minor with us and didn't want to risk the other place. I ordered Pra Ram, my standard at Thai restaurants.  My husband ordered Lemongrass Pad Thai--he thought he had ordered with chicken, but he got beef. It was the best tasting (thai) beef I had ever tried! Husband also thought it was really great pad thai, and LOVED that it had peanut sauce. Our son is pickier than me, but loves pot stickers and likes the chicken satay. He really liked his food! If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and give this a try!"

"Monsoon Thai has been my go to spot for years, but the past several visits have been a let down. The soups and noodle dishes just don't hit like they used to. I'm not sure if the cooks or recipes changed, but my beloved spot is no more. I'd stop in if I needed something quick and was close, but I just don't think I'll seek them out as often as I used to."

"Great place to get some great food. Nothing fancy, and relatively cheap. Will be dining here again. Personally do not recommend the shrimp - the tail shell is still on in the bowls. I'm sure that's how it's supposed to be prepared but I'm not a fan."

"This has come to be a favorite local spot for delicious and fresh Thai food! I love the salad rolls with peanut sauce and the pumpkin curry is my go to, always delicious. The crab rangoons are always great too!"

"What a hidden gem. Order at the counter and sit in the comfortable dining area. Super friendly staff, he brought us our food and checked on us to make sure we were happy. The spring rolls were perhaps the best I’ve ever had, so light and crispy. I got the pad see ew, my go to, and it was better than most. Unlike a lot of places the noodles didn’t get gummy or congeal, they kept their integrity. The sauce wasn’t my favorite, but everything else was incredible. My fiancée got the chicken satay which made him light up, that’s how good it was. And the best part is the price, we paid $31 including tip for two meals and an appetizer. If I lived in Portland this would be my new go to Thai place. Also, street parking was very easy. 100% recommend."
