Reviews For AL's Thai Food

Passing thru town, camped at the nearby RV park and they were close-by. Glad they were, I went for the Spicy Fried Rice with pork, and a level 2 heat, so just enough heat to get the sinuses running, but not too much to overpower the wonderful flavors of the rice and ingredients. Portion was very large - I overate to the point of painful, and still had leftovers. P.S. The menu gives the name as "Angel Thai", so I asked: Angel is Al's daughter. P.P.S. For dining in, they have a 2-top and a 4-top table. I didn't check seating on the patio as it was after dark. Looks like they have a good carry out business, with repeat customers that they know by sight.

Stopped by for lunch. Interior is small and cozy as I think this is mainly a take out business but you can also sit inside and or outside when the weather allows. The food was prepared fresh and promptly served. Very flavorful, perfect spice level at the requested "medium". Everything was delicious. 5 stars

Most Amazing food ever. I have lived on Maui for over 40.years and all the Thai restaurants over there can not hold a candle to what I ate today. Tempura shrimp with the most delicious and flowery with a touch of heat, dipping sauce...A huge portion of pad Thai that was saucy all the way through...And the salmon curry...big chunks of salmon in a coconut creme sauce that is not watered down. I haven't even finished it all yet. The curry is full of yummy veges and I think I even got some lemongrass in there. The kine food for sure!!! Thank you Al for not only giving me a delicious meal but also a very healing and healthy one as well.

Best Thai food in the Portland & Vancouver area; it’s not even close. Small take away shack with only a couple of seats. Salad rolls were fresh and delicious. The pumpkin curry with shrimp was the best we’ve had in ages- same goes for the Pad Thai: made vegan with tofu and plenty of onions, vegetables, cilantro, spices. Heat can be adjusted to order; excellent service here. Don’t miss out on this little place when visiting Portland!

A must if you like Thai food. My husband and I are from out of town and randomly picked this place and we were very surprised at how delicious the food was. We order the Drunken noodle and the spicy fried rice. Both were missing bell pepper, but the food tasted amazing regardless of that. They were also cooking pad thai and it smelled amazing.

The Thai food here is so good. And the portions are generous. The owner is very pleasant and does most of the cooking herself. My coworkers and I frequent this place often for takeout and we're never disappointed.

Super kind people at the counter, it's a small shop but it had made a huge impact on the community as you can tell by the reviews. I got the Chicken Pad Thai lvl 3 spicy, and it was wonderful. Full of flavor, plenty of chicken, a nice bit of heat as well (helps me eat slower and enjoy the food). I am so excited to visit again!
