We got takeout here for the first time tonight. We all had various red curries and thought they were way too salty. The tomatoes were mushy. Very large portions, I only ate about a third of mine. Even my husband only finished half.

Diner Review №2

Good food, very friendly staff and owners

Diner Review №7

Awesome restaurant! The service was fabulous. The food was delicious and they nail the spice level. The food came quick and hot. Tables were kept clean and you could tell they have a good handle on the flow of customers and everyone seemed like they were enjoying their service and food. I don’t live near here but if I’m in the area again, I’ll stop by for sure. I definitely recommend the egg rolls with shrimp, so fresh!!!

Diner Review №8

Moment you walk in the smell grabs you and makes your mouth water. Delicious. Authentic. Great service. Whole family enjoyed.

Diner Review №9

This little thai place just keeps getting better and better. Great food, and decent amounts of it too! Lots of things that are hard to find elsewhere. Owners are there running the show, prepping and cooking. So you know it's consistently good.

Diner Review №15

The restaurant is super fancy and the food are super authentic. I speak to the busser and I was informed the food they serve is a little of Laotion and Thai blended together. I loved the food... the parking lot is free and it is wheelchair accessible.

Diner Review №16

Huge portions, best fresh rolls, and delicious noodles. The staff is always lovely and kind!

Diner Review №17

Oh M Gee best Thai hands down 🫶 service was outstanding and food .. wow! Just wow! We ordered a lot took some home... We found our new to go place! Thank you for great everything ❤️

Diner Review №18

First time here and it was AMAZING. Very homey atmosphere, cooks were coming out to hug regular customers. I picked up togo dinners and all 4 were insanely good! HUGE portions (enough for 2 or 3 people/meals!) Have already raved about them to local family and friends!

Diner Review №19

Great little place! The food was super tasty and the server was the nicest person!!!
This is my new go to spot for Thai food in Portland.

Diner Review №20

Best thai food ever. And I've tried a LOT of places.

Diner Review №21

Diner Review №22

super friendly service and great food. will return!

Diner Review №23

Absolutely phenomenal! This Thai restaurant delivers an unforgettable dining experience. The basil fried rice is a perfect blend of savory and spicy, with fresh herbs and just the right amount of heat to keep you coming back for more. The pad see ew is equally outstanding, with perfectly cooked noodles, tender protein, and a rich, flavorful sauce that ties everything together beautifully.

The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the staff are incredibly friendly and attentive. Every dish is clearly made with care and authenticity. If you’re a fan of Thai cuisine, this place is a must-visit. I can’t wait to return! Five stars all the way!

Diner Review №24

The pad kee mao was the best I've had in the area, possibk6 best I've ever had and I've been to provably 100 Thai restaurants in my day all over the country. Huge portions and very friendly staff.
If you're craving good Thai just fo here and save yourself the search for anywhere else.

Diner Review №25

Went to dinner last night with a friend. They were busy (Saturday night) but we still got our delicious food quickly. The avocado salad rolls are HUGE and the crab fried rice is a HUGE portion, and so yummy!

Diner Review №26

Great food! We ordered take out, it was a little behind but worth the wait!

great food

Diner Review №31

The first place I've ever had Thai food, now it's the only place.

Diner Review №32

Diner Review №33

We ordered takeout, the person who helped us was so kind! Portions are huge and everything is so flavorful

Diner Review №34

Very good Thai food in an unassuming area of 99e. Usually get takeout from here and have never been disappointed in the food.

Diner Review №35

So it’s a little bit service yourself water and tea, but strangely I like it that way. The Pad Thai is cooked fresh and has plenty of chopped peanuts. Tastes great.

Diner Review №36

Edit: My original review was short and sweet, and this restaurant deserves better. I believe this is a family owned restaurant? Regardless, the team that runs this place certainly treat their guests like they are part of the family. They are so sweet! But I haven't even started about the food! Every dish that I have had here has been fresh and top quality. The portion sizes are incredibly generous and worth the price. The orange chicken is one of my favorite dishes. Nothing beats the tender breading and succulent taste of these nuggets. Another favorite of mine is the sizzling combo. Which is similar to stew. But the literally mouth-watering taste of this dish is far superior to any stew I've ever had!

Diner Review №37

I seriously can't love this place more. Haven't tried anything I don't like. When dining in, it is clean and the staff are very friendly. Huge menu, great selection, and large portions. I love the avocado beef. Pineapple fried rice with chicken and red curry with chicken are some of our favorites! Their peanut sauce is super tasty, too! This is our go-to thai restaurant. It won't disappoint.

Diner Review №38

Possibly the friendliest people ever. Huge portions, came out quickly, delicious. This will be our new Thai spot.

Diner Review №39

Pad thai tasted nothing like authentic pad thai

Diner Review №40

Wonderful food. Quality, fresh, and deliciously seasoned.

Diner Review №45

Honestly the cutest little Thai restaurant on Mcloughlin with such tasty food 🥰 And everyone is so sweet 🥰

Diner Review №46

Stopped by to try this in a friend's neighborhood. We split a Panang Curry with tofu. The portion size was perfect for our appetite and the curry was delicious. We loved the local sambal (sp) sauce. Will visit to try the rolls and noodles!

Diner Review №47

Great food, best salad rolls!

Diner Review №48

This is how to cook Thai food, thanks Nancy for your many delightful dishes

Diner Review №49

Great for takeout.

Diner Review №50

Best Thai food you can get!

Diner Review №51

Great food and service.

Diner Review №52

My family’s favorite Thai. It is not gourmet and there are a lot of dishes that are more Asian than Thai but it is quite good. Prices have gone up but the portions are still enormous. It seems to be doing pretty well, was packed on a Sunday noon

Diner Review №53

It's a win-win situation with the best Thai food in Milwaukie and the friendliest service. Such a wonderful place to come eat lunch or to grab something to go.

Diner Review №54

Best place ever. Most delicious food every single time, never ordered somthing I didn’t like. Also the most friendly and helpful staff anywhere I’ve ever been.

Diner Review №55

Best Thai food, amazing people work here. And the portion sizes will feed you for at least a couple of days. Well worth it!

Diner Review №56

Me and my boyfriend were really surprised at how good the food was. We LOVE thai food and have been to a lot of places and this one was by far our favorite!! Big portions, amazing flavors and the staff was extremely nice. Anu was a sweetheart, always smiling and happy to be there, it’s really nice to be served by someone with a lot of positivity and energy. We love this restaurant and will be back for sure!

Diner Review №57

Diner Review №58

Great food and great service from a family-run restaurant. You can tell they really care about their customers and their food. Be sure to dine in, the portion sizes are huge!! I'll be back to try out more from their menu - and I'll bring someone to help me finish the plate!

Diner Review №59

Delicious! Best crying tiger I've ever had. Stopped in to eat but it was so busy we settled for takeout. Wish we could have eaten there but it was still amazingly delicious.

Diner Review №65

Diner Review №66

This place is a gem! The Panang Curry (with chicken) was full of delicious tender chicken & vegetables (asparagus and green beans). I ordered from the lunch menu because I was not prepared to pay $25 for lunch but my friend assured me that when you do order the regular (non lunch menu) items, the servings are quite generous.. enough that she takes leftovers home and eats them over several meals.

Diner Review №67

kind service large portions great environment fast

Diner Review №68

Beautifully sized portions, insane flavor, the kindest staff! The pho broth is the richest I’ve ever experienced! The salad rolls are priced completely correct for the arm size portion. Forever my favorite Thai restaurant !

Diner Review №70

Great food and great people

Diner Review №71

We went on a busy Friday night. One person was seating people, taking orders, managing pickup orders, and settling bills. Even with that, service was quick and friendly, and food was delicious. Would definitely go back.

Diner Review №72

Absolutely amazing! Both my wife and I tried different meals and the portions were big and the food delicious. Definitely recommend checking them out if you're in the neighborhood.

Diner Review №73

Diner Review №74

This is one of my favorite Thai spots in the Portland area, if not my favorite! Definitely my favorite in Milwaukie / Oregon City. Good portions, quick service, and lovely people! The food is delicious! I love their curries and pad thai. Also, their basil fried rice is my favorite in the whole Portland area, out of the few places i've been to. I love Anu who is working the front counter on most days. Forgive me if i am misspelling their name! I've been eating here for a couple years, so Anu and I always catch up with each other and chat about life for a little bit when we see each other. Most people at most restaurants are just trying to get me out the door (which i totally understand!), but it's nice to have wholesome conversations and human interaction that goes beyond a transaction. It gives me a sense of community that I think is lacking in today's culture. It's nice to know that there are still people out there keepin' it real, while still able to provide quick and tasty service! Sending my love to the whole family! <3

Diner Review №75

Huge portions food is very fresh, tastes very good. Unassuming location, funky cool atmosphere, a gem and dive for thoose seeking great Thai food off of the beaten path!

Diner Review №76

Food 🤘

Diner Review №77

We decided to have Thai food at this restaurant today. I ordered 2 orders of Salad Rolls, Papaya salad with Crispy Chicken, Red Curry Seafood Combination, Pad Kee Mao, Pad Thai, Garlic and Broccoli Pork and Sticky Rice.
All these dishes were awesome, they had so much flavor and tasted delicious. Each dish had its own unique tasting delicious flavor. Not where some places all the dishes look different, but tasted all the same. And I know that a lot of us have been to places like that before. The dishes they brought out were pretty big in size. I would definitely recommend trying this restaurant. This restaurant seems pretty popular, because when we were there, it was pretty packed with people. Only one server/waiter, so please be patient and try out the awesome tasting food.

Diner Review №78

Diner Review №79

Good Thai food…

Diner Review №80

We have been looking for a good Thai restaurant for years. We found our place! Great food.

Diner Review №81

Some of the nicest people you're going to meet work here. The food is incredible! Always fresh, the freshest. Portions are very large. I've never been able to finish a whole plate and I eat a lot. I highly recommend the avocado beef, and the beef salad. The avocado salad rolls are just gorgeous! This is by far my favorite local restaurant. Nancy will meet you once and always remember your name. I wish them all the success in the world for absolutely nailing it every single time.

Diner Review №82

I lived in Thailand for years and this is by far the best and most authentic Thai food I have had in the states. Absolutely delicious! I would give it more stars if I could.

Diner Review №83

Best Thai food in the area.

A real gem! Delicious and fresh! The portions were super generous and the service was delightful! Thankfully this place isn't too far from home, one of my new faves!

Diner Review №85

Tonight was the first time I have eaten anything from here. I bought dinner to take home. I didn't actually sit down and eat here but I have to say that it was very good and I will definitely be back for more. Very nice people and the portions are really big. Hot actually means hot here and I like that ❤️

Diner Review №86

The staff here is so friendly and helpful. Their food is delicious as well, always freshly made.

Really nice spot with huge portions and quality food. Not the best Thai food I’ve ever had but definitely good. And the bathroom had a fancy toilet which was heated—it’s the little things in life.

Amazing Service and Food. Favorite Server so sweet!

Diner Review №96

This is a great Thai spot! The price and portions are reasonable and we had great service during a busy dinner rush. I will definitely be bringing my family and friends back again!

This place has huge portions and is the best Thai I've ever had. I could also eat the salad rolls every day, so yummy.

Diner Review №98

My favorite Thai place. Generous portions, delicious food and a huge menu, everything I’ve ever ordered has been amazing. Friendly staff

Diner Review №104

We love this spot! Their food is consistent and delicious. The menu is big and typically you'd find some dishes that fall flat with so many options, not here! Everything I've tried has been delicious. 10/10 recommend!

Diner Review №105

This is quickly becoming my favorite Thai place in this part of town. I've dined-in a few times and tried the Orange Chicken Pad Thai, Crying Tiger Pad Thai, and Panang Curry. Everything has been delicious! Be sure to look at the specials listed on the wall in addition to what's on the menu because they have some great ones. The portions are generous and I always have leftovers. The service is great and very welcoming!

Diner Review №115

I used to love this place. Costs went way up. Service went way down, it's serve yourself but still tip me for bringing a plate to your table and then not seeing me again. The portion sizes have been cut in half. It's not a good deal anymore and I never know what I'm going to be paying or receiving as they try to make more money.

Diner Review №116

Can't say enough great things about this place. Food is ALWAYS on top of the game. Staff are kind. Anyone I talk to in the area loves the food and the people. Definitely a hidden gem! Lunch specials are on point!

Diner Review №117

Diner Review №118

Diner Review №119

The best people are here! I love Paul, he’s an amazing man, along with Nancy, their the warmest folks and you feel like friends. You are. We’ve been here for years, now extending to friends and family, because it’s always been the most consistent uplifting experience. We love Buathong!

Their food is flavorful, fresh, wholesome and delicious. I love the yellow curry with tofu, the best flavor ever. The salad rolls and the sauce to go is the best.

We always come here, to make our day better and we come back because of the love they cook into their food. It’s a small family crew here creating the best Thai food! Seriously.

Go try it if you haven’t. And if you didn’t like what you got (which I don’t think you will) get yellow curry and try again :)

Thank you Buathong! My family appreciates you for being here.

Excellent!

Diner Review №123

Diner Review №124

Portions are huge. I had the larb. It had so much fish sauce it was almost inedible. Way too salty. Husband had pad Thai which he though was fine.

Diner Review №125

Absolutely fantastic food and very generous portions. Extremely friendly and accommodating staff. You can't go wrong with any dish, everything we've had has been delicious!

Diner Review №126

Great place for great Thai without breaking your budget. The portions are large and everything we tried was excellent!

Diner Review №127

Update, August 15, 2023: the owners of this restaurant called us and asked if we would give them a second chance, and we did. The food was excellent, big portions. The Tom Kha soup was fabulous and the Pad See Ew was terrific. Extremely nice people. Thank you.

Thre weeks earlier: Despite the positive reviews here, our experience for dinner was NOT good. I waited 60+ minutes for my to-go order. When I got home, I found the pad thai mushy - the noodles and shrimp were overcooked and tasteless, with barely a hint of peanuts. The chicken satay was rubbery and not edible. I spent $70 for a dinner that will mostly go to our dogs. I don't like to leave bad reviews, but I also want to get quality for what I pay for. The best part of the experience was the very nice gentleman running the counter - what a bright smile. Sadly, I cannot recommend this place.

Diner Review №128

Can’t recommend this place enough!!!!!!! Crab fried rice, cashew lamb special, and pad Thai were flavorful and bountiful. The staff was super friendly and prices surprisingly cheap. Amazing!

Diner Review №129

Delicious Currys... great service. Plenty to eat!

Diner Review №130

Diner Review №131

Diner Review №135

OMG this place is amazing 👏 and the portions are huge!!! The Salmon Mango Curry is to die for 🤤

Diner Review №136

If I could give 6 stars for the service I would! Great food with superb service. We have eaten the fried rice, pad Thai and yakisoba. I recommend them all!

Diner Review №137

Having lunch so yummy. So fresh..This is still my favorite thai place. Love their padkemaw

Diner Review №138

Diner Review №139

Diner Review №140

Great food. Ask them to make the drunken noodles with just chicken and basil ! OG style curries are all great

Diner Review №141

I loved this place an have for years! Never changed their sizes understood the prices changes but, unfortunately I don't think I'll be coming here anymore. Got yakasoba noodles extra beef for $18. Which usually totally fine with because of the size an iv been going for years but when they brought out HALF the serving you normally get for the same price. I was disappointed to say the least an had no heads up they changed there portions either. I will not be paying $18 for a scoop & 1/2 of noodles.

Diner Review №142

Wonderful panang curry, top notch counter staff and very attentive to inside diners.

Diner Review №143

Diner Review №144

Diner Review №145

This is the best Thai food I've ever had, and Anou (I think that's how you spell it) at the counter is the best. Very accommodating and makes you feel right at home. I would rate Buathong 10 stars if I could!!!

Diner Review №146

Salad rolls the size of a small child! Best chicken satay ever. Love the peanut sauce too.

Diner Review №147

Such a great place for Thai food. I have been here a few times, and its a great experience every time. My favorite dish by far is the mango salmon curry. Soooo good!!
Reasonable prices, great service, and great food. I have mostly gone during non-rush-hour times, but at those times the food came out very very fast.
They serve you plenty of food, almost every time I have gone with the family we get to-go boxes and basically have another meal for the next day.
Our office has also used them for catering, and they have done an exceptional job.

Diner Review №148

I love this place! The food is great and Paul (the owner) is warm and welcoming. Dining here is kind of like going to visit your favorite cousin. The avocado shrimp salad roll is so yummy, and the portions of shrimp and avocado are very generous.

Diner Review №149

Diner Review №150

Generous portions, good flavor and great service are my top raves. I will now always want avocado on my shrimp salad rolls - the creaminess makes a difference. Our server was Anu, who provided excellent service. Paul & Nancy are extraordinary hosts. Overall, it was an enjoyable dining experience.

Diner Review №151

Diner Review №152

Great little restaurant! The salad rolls are massive and fresh. My partner had the Cashew Chicken and it was amazing. I had the Buathong Chicken and it was so good, loaded with veggies. Will definitely return when in the area.

Diner Review №153

We feel like family here. Worth driving from anywhere. Must try the avocado beef and the sticky rice with lime sauce!

Diner Review №154

Diner Review №155

Hands down the best place around! 😃👏We’re Thai foodies & have been coming to Buathongs all the way from Hawaii for years! No one can beat Paul & Nancy’s quality, quantity, and customer service, including Nu’s big smile & hospitality. You feel like family every time you come! All the recipes are generous and originals. You can’t go wrong. Be prepared for a delicious experience! -Amy & John Meyer😎😎🌺

Delicious food. Amazing staff. Big portions. Perfect everytime.

Diner Review №157

Diner Review №158

Very friendly, amazing food, great service! Will be back

Diner Review №159

My husband loves their massaman curry. He is willing to drive 30 mins to this restaurant. The atmosphere is cozy and tastefully decorated with clean restroom and built in bidet...lol.
But we noticed a lots of repeat customers and just the friendly atmosphere between staff and customers. They knew their customer's names and faces.

The food was good and good portion. Curry was superb to win my husband over. I am not crazy about the traditional rice(split rice) for my fried rice. Much prefer the Thai jasmine rice. We plan to return again and will try other dishes and update our feedbacks.

Diner Review №160

Great little Thai cuisine
Very friendly staff and great food

Diner Review №161

Grateful to have a good Thai restaurant close to home.

Diner Review №162

Diner Review №163

Good Thai restaurant!

Delicious food with larger portions than practicallh all other thai restaurants, and they have kind and helpful staff.

However, they can take a long time to prepare their food when they have several customers. From the looks of it, this restaurant is a family owned restaurant with it's only workers being a few family members. That's probably why it takes a while sometimes to prepare their food, considering that they can very busy sometimes.

Diner Review №164

Excellent good! We ordered the papaya salad, the green curry and spicy cashew dish and everything was absolutely delicious! The owners and waiter were very friendly and service was great! We highly recommend!

Diner Review №165

Panang curry was great - delicious, nice flavor. Portions of every dish were very big. The salad rolls were huge - peanut sauce was more sweet and not as creamy, but I didn’t taste any herbs inside the salad rolls

Also tried the pad thai and pad see ew; pad thai didn’t have a lot of flavor; the tamarind flavor wasn’t really there.

Pad see ew flavor was not as sweet as other spots; the wide rice noodles were over cooked/falling apart and not caramelized; but the flavor was still good.

Diner Review №166

"OMG".....
If you want God honest Thai food then this is the place to come!!
It has been years since I've had such good Thai food, I had the pad thai and the peanut sauce was spot-on not that gooey watered-down peanut butter sauce!
We will most assuredly make the 15 Mile drive to enjoy the food and ambiance and the people at this restaurant once again!

Diner Review №167

Diner Review №168

Diner Review №169

Generous portions and great food! My wife and I were stuffed with leftovers and only spent $36 with tip. Also saw the owner come out of the back to greet his guests and hep an elderly patron to his car. We’ll definitely be back to support the great food and nice folks here.

Diner Review №170

The Best Thai food in the county of Clackamas. Flavor and Portions. The most incredible shrimp rolls, in house peanut sauce, in the whole tri-county area.

Diner Review №171

My favorite place in town. The owners and staff are friendly, genuine, and care about their customers. It is very evident also in the food that they make and the dishes they create. The food is absolutely amazing and servings are very generous. I always go home with extra and gladly enjoy it again the next day! Whether take out or dining in... you won't be disappointed 😌

Diner Review №172

This is one of the to places that my extended family and I love to go to for lunch or dinner! The Thai Coffee is addicting, and pairing with an order of their shrimp and avocado salad rolls is a perfectly filling, and healthy lunch that keeps my wife and I filled and energized throughout the day until dinner. Hands down, one of the best places I can recommend to anyone who loves Thai food. Paul is the owner, and he has recognized me and watched me grow for the last 7 years; every time we go in, he comes to check in and see how we have been doing since our last visit! Perfect atmosphere, bigger-than-normal portions, and a taste that brings us back almost every week.

Diner Review №173

Diner Review №174

Service was exceptional, and their Cashew Nut Stir-fry is the best that I've had in the metro area. I will be back!

Diner Review №175

Despite not yet visiting Thailand, I’ve eaten the cuisine for 25 years in NYC and in Taiwan- which has excellent Thai chain restaurants, in southern Yunnan province and Laos. Today’s first time visit to Buathong stood out as the most soulful and real home cooking flavor I’ve had. Beware that the size of the dishes is large. I suggest eating in as opposed to take-out. It’s that good.

Diner Review №176

The food is really really good

Diner Review №177

SO GOOD.

Diner Review №178

Lots of great authentic dishes with something for everyone. Awesome service that made us feel very welcomed. Even though the place was completely full we received prompt attention from the server and our food came out looking and tasting great in just a short time.

Diner Review №179

Not as youd expect from interior (slightly shabby) lots of different menu items, but the food is so great i could it every meal. I ordered a curry that had intial spice followed by a delightful heat. A blissful etheral experience! The food is FANTASTIC

Diner Review №180

I have to recommend this place. First time ordering and was pretty happy. The food was tasty and portions were well worth it. Highlight was the service. We ordered in the last hour they were open and were still more than nice about it. Will go back

Diner Review №181

The food was perfect and the service was great. We even were able to use their high chair.

Diner Review №182

Loved this place!!! Great portion sizes, and the food was delicious. My only minor complaint was I asked for extra spicy and it was quite mild (yes, I like to feel the burn lol). I would definitely return here often if I lived closer, sadly it's about an hour from my house.

Diner Review №183

Amazing food, lovely staff.

Diner Review №184

Phenomenally good food. The best Thai restaurant I've been to in the whole of the U.S. - and that includes NYC, LA, SF. Every dish was perfectly prepared and delicious.

Diner Review №185

We have many Thai restaurants in the area. I tried them all before coming. It's the only place I go now. I love everything we try.

Diner Review №186

Our favorite Thai place, we always order shrimp salad rolls; best peanut sauce always need a couple, yellow curry, chicken pad thai, and pad pring king. Friendly staff.

Diner Review №187

Very good food, very friendly staff.

Diner Review №188

This place is soo ridiculously good. And it’s not just the food but the service; even the customers couldn’t stop talking about how great this place was when we visited. The owner Nancy was so sweet and jumped to make our meal memorable. We had the pad see ew chicken and the spicy basil fried rice; now me and my fiancé eat Thai food A-LOT and this is by far the best place around. Paul is the other owner and he cooks all the food and it’s a pleasure to see him interact with the customers. This place is liking coming home for a delicious meal with how welcoming this place is. If you are looking for a place to eat, this is definitely it!!

The food is amazing(full of flavor!!!!) and the portion sizes used to be great for the price. Now they have reduced the portion sizes but kept it at the same high price. This wont stop me from coming but I will be coming in less often.

One of the few places that my wife and I can have a great meal and a <$20 bill. We share a cury dish and add a side order of rice, and walk away with a full and happy stomach!

This is my 3rd or 4th time getting takeout from here. Enormous portions for the price. Everything’s been delicious so far. Haven’t gotten the man’s name at the register yet but it’s been the same young man every time and he seems like he might be genuinely one of the sweetest people on the planet. What a wholeheartedly warm smile. The food is great, but the guy at the register makes this place wonderful. Highly recommend!

Delicious curries! The Mussamon was the best we've ever had, and we've been to many Thai restaurants. Cute atmosphere and good vegan options. Highly recommended!

I think my older brother, Kent, likes it too much,
because every year on Christmas,
he wants to order from there and no place else.

The very best thai food for my money.
Dining here continues to be the best place for a great meal 😋 any time. Thanks Paul and Nancy. Love you both.
