Love leaf

Diner Review №5

Truly the worst pad Thai I've ever had. Sticky noodle glop with (presumably) canned sauce. Seriously. For $20 at least try.

Diner Review №6

This is the only place I order Thai food from anymore. I always do take out- placing my order is very easy, food is always ready and hot when I pick it up, and the staff are very friendly. I have tried many items on their menu and have thoroughly enjoyed all of it so far. This is a must visit place in Newberg!!

Diner Review №7

I love pad Thai and fried rice

Diner Review №8

Best food in Newberg

Diner Review №9

My first visit at Golden Leaf was awesome! The Sweet and Sour with tofu was beautiful, fresh, and the best I've had. The Pad Kee Mao with tofu was outstanding as well! The Cashew Nut Chicken was fantastic, too.
I'll no longer be getting my Thai food anywhere else in the county!
I highly recommend a visit to Golden Leaf Thai!! I'm looking forward to trying more dishes soon.

Diner Review №10

The broccoli and carrots in my pad see ew were quite crunchy but that’s just me being nit picky, the Thai tea and service were great 👌

Diner Review №11

Good food and fantastic service! The staff and owner are always friendly and make you feel like you are at home. Reasonable pricing and great specials. Definitely recommend!

Diner Review №12

Masson curry and pad Thai were delicious and fresh, but both were on the sweeter side to my liking. I would’ve like more fresh cilantro and green onion on the pad Thai instead of it being so saucy. Great service and quiet restaurant

Diner Review №13

Love, love, loovvve.

Diner Review №14

They were very busy with delivery orders. Our order was a little slow but very delicious!

Diner Review №15

Pad Thai was pretty good. I like it a little more spicy. You order and then sit down at high tables. There are a couple booths on the side.

Diner Review №16

We’ve only had take out through door dash. We live a ways away. I’ve had some of their curries which are great. But I really like the chicken and shrimp crispy basil. This dish in particular has been consistently good. I know some Thai places are hit or miss on certain dishes. This one is a winner for me.

My two requests is for it to be more affordable so I order it more often and have a spicier option on the menu. 5/5!

Diner Review №17

Food was very good! Service was kind of slow, but they were pretty busy to be fair.

Diner Review №18

Service sucks person told me I was late for pick up while they had my order in the back while I stood waiting for 3 minutes and then they had the audacity to tell me I was late.

Diner Review №21

My wife found a piece of plastic in her curry. Pretty gross. Who knows where it's been.

Diner Review №22

Outstanding flavors and very new, tasteful interior. Super friendly, prompt service and excellent flavor profile on the curry. (Edit: Depending on the day, you'll get a recipe that's done completely differently than the previous day... very odd).

My favorite Thai in Newberg. For me the most authentic and flavorful food in the area. Test out your spice levels for a true flavor pallet. It busy for take out and pick up services. Not quite done updating the dining area. Most tables are open in the front. Guessing they won't open the back
Never been full yet. The tables are decorated and they give water in nice pitchers. You have to ask for ice if you want it. Food is presented artistically. It's a pleasure for the taste buds

Diner Review №27

It was the only Thai place open! Had zero expectations going in and left incredibly satisfied

Diner Review №28

Diner Review №29

First timer. I met my former Co-workers for lunch. I was early. My experience: I was greeted with a smile & a brief explanation of how the ordering works. The food was scrumptious and so much I had enough left for later. I took home the Lemongrass Chicken Pad Thai with peanut sauce for dinner. Highly recommend!!! You can order online for pickup or delivery, as well.

Diner Review №30

Good portions and price! A wonderful place to grab lunch or dinner!

Awesome portions and great fresh food
Thanks

Diner Review №41

First time trying, and this place had amazing food! Perfect portions, delicious flavor! I had the chicken pad Thai, it has a Smokey flavor that I absolutely loved! The person at the counter was super friendly and the service was helpful and quick, I highly suggest this place!

Diner Review №42

1st time visitor and I loved it. We had spring rolls and green curry with tofu. I was very impressed with both. I like my curry a little bit spicy and it was perfect. If you like less heat I’m sure they can adjust as the staff was very friendly and made sure we were happy. My companion has been several times and has had a great experience each time. Will be back soon. I might suggest that the tables be spread out. I could hear our neighbors soft conversation which made us feel a little awkward.

Diner Review №43

Delicious food, quick service, clean, friendly staff. There are options for lighter, faster food, as well as more typical Thai fare. Not a ton of seating.

Diner Review №44

I frequently come here for the thai iced tea and the tofu salad rolls! Their peanut sauce is on point. They're always very friendly and I can tell they're passionate about the food they put in front of their customers.
Sidenote: I'm sad that they got rid of the gambling machines when the new owners took over :(

Diner Review №45

Fast and friendly

Diner Review №46

Good Thai restaurant in downtown Newberg. Casual atmosphere and fair pricing. Food is good.

Diner Review №47

Golden Leaf has a lovely, calm atmosphere. I ordered pad Thai, which had a great, strong flavor but was way too saucy for my taste. I really just went because I love Thai iced tea! It's fantastic here! Sadly it's $3.50 for a tiny glass full of ice and three gulps of tea. No refills! I was so bummed, especially when I saw someone get take-out thai tea and they got a much larger cup. I'll have to find my Thai tea elsewhere from now on. Super bummed.

Diner Review №48

This place has some really good food. My daughter and I showed up near closing time, and they seated us anyway. So nice of them. We were really hungry. We had the shrimp salad rolls (pretty good, nicely messy) and also had the dish with rice, chicken, basil, shrimp -- can't remember the name. It was very good. Hit the spot. Next time in Newburg we're going back to this restaurant. I recommend it.

Diner Review №49

Diner Review №50

My MOST favorite Thai food in Yamhill County! Excellent customer service - consistency delicious food!

Diner Review №51

Diner Review №52

We had a great meal at Golden Leaf. Delicious food very helpful staff.

Try the Satai Chucken screwers, shrimp salad rolls, lemon grass chicken pad thai and pineapple rice.

Very very good!

Diner Review №53

We love this place! The food is delicious!! We always do take out because the new table set-up isn't too inviting to sit down, but the service is wonderful, and the servers are very nice and friendly. This is our go-to whenever we have guests over, and it is always a hit! The Panang Curry Chicken and Pad Thai Chicken are my favorites here 😍

Diner Review №54

Diner Review №55

This was our first trip here. My wife has soy/gluten allergies and they were accommodating and made a really good Pad See Ew with no soy. It has a good subtle flavor.

We also had the green curry and that was delicious.

I had Pad Thai and it was a good sized portion, very saucy (a preference) and it was delicious.

Summary: I would go back again for the food, the friendly staff, and good ambience.

Diner Review №56

Diner Review №57

One of our favorite Thai places between Newberg and McMinnville. Service is quick and friendly. Food is tasty and I've never had a bad experience. Both dine in and take out.

Diner Review №58

It is Thai food

Diner Review №59

Pretty ok.

Diner Review №60

First time there. Dined in. No others there just take out. Apparently we were a bother because we got the eye roll when asked for a cup of ice. Another eye roll for a to go box . At least now we know. Soup was good.

Diner Review №61

Diner Review №62

Ordered cashew nut w/chicken, was the worst meal I've ever got!! Was so bland & watery I had to put hot sauce on it to try to eat it. Soggy mushrooms and a ton of canned baby corn! I don't even know if it was real chicken or canned, zero flavor! I wish I would of had Top Roman for my dinner instead! Threw most of it in the trash, I will not go back to this restaurant with such a bad experience. Disappointed for sure :(

Diner Review №63

We have not had take out for awhile from this place. Always liked the cashew nut chicken, this was the worst meal ever. Will never be back

Diner Review №64

Diner Review №65

We've always loved the food at Golden leaf. They've recently redone a lot of the interior - which is good, it used to feel kind of like a dry-cleaners.
It's nicer, but now it just seems like they really don't want to have people eating there; they'd rather have only takeout and door dash orders. The few tables they have set up are wobbly and tiny, and a whole section of the space is just piled up boxes/supplies.
It was actually pretty funny when we asked if we could move the table number since we didn't have room - the server said we couldn't because she needed it to know which table to bring the food to - - but we were the only people dining in the restaurant!

Diner Review №68

This is the second time ordered from golden leaf Thai. I moved to the are 6 months ago and the food was not to my sub par. I just ordered from again this restaurant tonight and it is still not good. Let me clarify; the pad Thai is made with only a tamarind sauce that is cloying and overly sweet. You get a homogeneous blend of noodles, sugar, sambal for heat and a sprinkle of bean sprouts on top. I have an upset stomach from all the sugar in this dish. No flavor! I am a chef, I have been the head of an Indian restaurant as well as mostly french and American cuisine. I'm am very disappointed in the taste of this food. I do not want a refund and the only reason for leaving this negative review is that the owner of this establishment needs to know that the food is in serious need of repair.

Sincerely yours,

Gut Rot

Solid Thai food and quick service!

Diner Review №73

All booths have been removed with only a few uncomfortable tall cafe tables remaining. Self service table settings. They seem to be forcing customers toward take out orders only. People walk in, then leave. Owners have ruined this once comfortable and cozy restaurant. After years of eating there, we won't be back.

Diner Review №74

I usually order take out - I discovered this place during covid and this was the only option. They have since added back some seating. I've enjoyed their Pad Thai and they make the BEST salad rolls!!!! Their staff is always friendly and accommodating.

Diner Review №75

Delicious Thai food. Big portions (enough to share). It's pretty spicy.. so be aware.

Diner Review №76

Food is great but when you are at fault for something, acknowledge and don’t pass the blame onto a DoorDash driver. You were swamped. You had 4+ drivers waiting for food. You gave the wrong Allan order to the wrong driver and when asked blamed the driver for grabbing the wrong from the shelf. Mistakes happen. But blaming a driver for your mistake, shameful. While ruining our dinner for the evening is something we can get over, I’ll pass on the deception and order from the other two places in town next time.

Diner Review №77

We wanted to order to go at 8:25, they close at 8:30, and the kitchen was already CLEANED, they couldn't even make brussel sprouts.

Diner Review №78

Food was terrible. Waste of money.

Diner Review №79

The staff were very friendly and helpful, the food was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend this place.

Diner Review №80

Diner Review №81

Diner Review №82

Disappointed in these chicken wontons just folded in half and fried, and the dipping sauce that was advertised to have peanuts in it. I also ordered the Cashew Stir Fry and it came with a lot of mushrooms (which I don't care for) when the description said only onion, carrots, bamboo shoots, and bell pepper. Most of the carrots were in a fancy cut shape, but one big one (pictured) looked questionable: old, not burnt.

Diner Review №83

So nice to finally eat there, been ordering take out for almost a year while dine in was closed.

Definitely the best Thai food outside of Portland metro and still competes with the top ones there!

Diner Review №84

Diner Review №85

Good food and good customer service. Very sweet people. Nice place to eat.
Gluten free options.

Diner Review №86

So great! My fav!
They have great customer service and are very clean and their restaurant is very nice!
Their food is great! Omg, the Calamari is amazing and gluten free. They can adhere to gluten-free diets and have great communication about understanding preferences.
They have modern Asian style seating and lots of it!
Recommend to all!

Diner Review №88

Very good Thai place!

Diner Review №89

5 stars for the eggplant chicken stir fry. 3 stars for the pad Thai and fried tofu. Quick service.

Diner Review №90

Food is still top notch, but service has gone downhill. Numerous times now my order has been ready, but not in a place where I can pick it up, and the hostess has been nowhere to be found. Disappointed, and may not go back.

Diner Review №91

Diner Review №92

Tofu + Noodles were delicious. The lady working the front counter was very kind.

Diner Review №93

Ordered over the phone with a friendly lady.
Order was ready when I arrived.
Everything was correct.
Soups and pad thai were delicious.
Definitely will be back!

Diner Review №94

Ordered very hot. Completely bland. It was a pick up order. They said I could come back for chili sauce. My 3 year old ate it

Diner Review №95

This is an amazing restaurant. They have been in business for more than 15 years. Most restaurants in the Newberg area only seem to stick around for a few years. The food is constantly great, especially if you are a big curry fan. The yellow curry is amazing. I would highly suggest the yellow curry with medium spicy. Currently they are only open for take out due to Covid.

Diner Review №96

Diner Review №97

Hands down best Tom Kha soup I have ever had.

Diner Review №98

Our takeout order was ready 20 minutes after their estimated time. Three of our entrees didn’t have any sauce on them. Yellow curry was really good though.

Diner Review №99

Good food

Diner Review №100

Diner Review №101

Favorite Thai place in Newberg!

Diner Review №102

Used to be the Best Thai food in Newberg. Recent change in ownership and the curry dishes are nowhere near as good. Too much added sugar.

Diner Review №103

Great food! I’ve tried the Pad Thai, Pad Kee Mao, Massaman curry and just tried the Cashew Stir Fry. They’re all delicious! I was pleasantly surprised with how good the stir fry is and I’ll definitely be adding it to my list of favorites. You can’t really go wrong here. The owner is very nice as well!

Diner Review №104

Excellent sevice and slots

Diner Review №105

Diner Review №106

I absolutely love this place! Though they have always been consistent in their food and service...they really stepped up their game when another Thai restaurant opened nearby. They do not skimp on ingredients. If you order pad Thai with shrimp..you WILL get shrimp. Their curries are awesome with true Thai ingredients. And yes, their peanut sauce is the BOMB!

Diner Review №107

I love this place. I cycle through and get many different meals but almost always get the pad thai for the kids (and I sneak some bites) and I really like the garlic shrimp.

Owners are super nice- I just like coming here.

Diner Review №108

This is my favorite place to eat in Newberg. Their yellow curry is my comfort food. In the typical cold and wet Oregon weather, nothing cheers me up like their delicious, warm, slightly spicy yellow curry :) In college, Golden Leaf was where I usually went for dates with my girlfriend, and now I look forward to stopping by whenever I'm in the area.

Diner Review №109

I’ve lived on almost every continent and have never found a Pad Thai better than the one here. On top of that, the peanut sauce is beyond amazing. The owner is a super sweet lady and highly recommend coming here.

Diner Review №114

Diner Review №115

Did take out here. SUCH LOVELY staff. They even gave me a box to carry out my Thai Curry so that the meal wouldn't splosh on my hands or on my car. They are the sweetest staff, and really good food! Please visit them if you can

Diner Review №116

Great food, good prices, place is a little dingy.

Diner Review №117

I come to Golden leave every couple of months. I always order the same thing, green curry. The flavor of the curry is great, however there is variability in what vegetables are used. I typically wish there were more fresh vegetables, brighter color and more interesting presentation. The music and ambiance is a bit silly inside. It sounds like you are sitting in a Thai music box... can seem the same song is repeating over and over. Generally, it appears empty inside but the restaurant has a ton of seating so patrons are just spread out. Sometimes I have wondered if it would be possible for the front to be used for the Golden Leaf restaurant and menu and convert the back into another option. Maybe a small ethnic bar or place we could come for Happy Hour cocktails and snacks. Maybe just a different rendition of the menu with street food...

Diner Review №118

Good food, healthy severing sizes. The staff or friendly, helpful and quick response to requests. Peanut sauce is Great, it's one of those things that make or break a Thai restaurant. Prices are reasonable as well. Curry was amazing. It's a great spot for the family or a date. Or just to spoil yourself. Definitely going back.

Diner Review №131

Always great food!

Diner Review №132

Diner Review №133

This restaurant is just wonderful. They will go out of their way to please your palette! My daughter wanted a thai tea and they were out and offered her the Thai coffee instead. I warned my daughter that the drinks are very different but she wanted to try something new.
Well, she hated it :) and the owner wouldn't allow us to pay for something we didn't love. I tried to pay repeatedly-not their fault we didn't like it- but the owner would have none of that!
I love their Drunken Noodle and the Peanut chicken is also a favorite.
Try it, your tummy will thank you!

Diner Review №134

Been going for years and its my all time favorite place to have thai . mellow setting friendly service . The calamari is amazing , and every single sauce is just tops!

Food was fine. Wish it had more fresh ingredients and veggies for color. The spice level was adequate for Oregon, but even their hottest wasn't taking any risks.

Went with my boyfriend and the lady was leaving but rather than turn us away she made us super comfortable and let us pay before she left and we had a wonderful meal and a good time just us..

Diner Review №145

Diner Review №146

The food was very good, great flavors. It would be helpful if they had a clearer description on their menu for allergens. Our son is highly allergic to peanuts and we did not feel confident in any of the options being completely peanut free.

Coconut chicken soup is wonderful.

Good Thai food, great owners, wish it had a little more ambiance. Very much like a library in terms of acoustics. Needs some music or something in the background. Other than that we love it.

Wouldn’t even rate a full star. Walked in and nobody was there to greet us, all of the lights were off and everybody was in the kitchen. Knocked on the kitchen door and nobody came out for a few more minutes and at that point we were ready to leave. Would not recommend.

Diner Review №189

Good atmosphere, the food is good, but the service is okay, not the greatest.
