Food felt healthy and was delicious. Our waiter was amazing, nice and polite. We got the tofu rolls and sour and sweet chicken

Diner Review β„–5

Duck noodles are very salty. Beef coconut tender had a very weird like body wash. Tom yum is 3 out of ten shrimps weren't ready and had a very uncooked taste. Atmosphere is chill and the service was ok. Not the best Thai restaurant I tried. Keep walking to matador block away. And get steak tacos :))

Loved our visit to Red Onion! We got the Red Curry with Chicken and Vegan Pad See Ew - both were delicious and would definitely get again. Dominic was our waiter and his service was great! Made it a wonderful experience for us and assisted with modifications to our orders.

Highly recommend this place!

Came here last night and was blown away by how fresh and flavorful the food was! We ordered the Tom Ka and Oxtail soup which were both so delicious. The Thai wings are also
crispy perfection with the perfect balance of spices. I also enjoyed the chili chicken and the Panang curry was the true showstopper! Service was great! We had a new person in training but he had a backup to help. Plenty of street parking in the area. Overall, really good quality and flavorful food. I will be back for sure!

Oh and the mango sticky rice was also a nice treat to end the night. Highly recommend!

Terrible meal today - we will not go back and we have been regulars since 2015. We think new owners, new menu with much higher (the gouge) prices and you cannot buy Tom Kha soup anymore unless you want to spend $18! They used different shrimp too. Smaller, tough to chew and no tails left on. I’ve always loved their shrimp. All new staff. Must have fired all our longtime favorites.

Diner Review β„–15

I had been here couple of times now. Great restaurant and nicely designed. The service was great didn’t had to was too long. The food proportions are good for two people, if you order one dish. The flavors are not over powering just right . Highly recommended a few in the area.

Diner Review β„–16

Clean, tasty, friendly and pretty quick. Got krapao and spring rolls. No complaints. Clean bathroom too. Would definitely eat thwre again if we are in the neighborhood. Would recommend this spot for solid Thai food.

Diner Review β„–17

Ordered through DoorDash (Oct31).
Delicious! Very flavorful dishes. It took me a minute to decide as there were many thai restaurants in the area. I made the right choice. Good size serving for the price they charge. All dishes were packed carefully to avoid leakage- i love this! They were all so good! I can’t pick a favorite. I recommend this place and I definitely look forward to trying other dishes when I’m in the area. πŸ‘πŸ»

Ordered Uber eats from here 2 days ago. Got horrible food poisoning from the Tom Kha soup with chicken.
I've had the soup many times before from other establishments. This is the only place that has managed to poison me with my favorite soup. :(
Ruined my visit with my wife in Oregon. Spent half the time sick in the bathroom.

Came here on the recommendation of a nurse at the hospital across the street. I ordered Panang Curry with chicken. It was served in a bowl with rice on the side. First, beautiful presentation. Second, absolutely delicious. They put a good amount of chicken in it which was nice as one doesn’t usually get a lot of meat in Thai food. I ate more of it than I should have, it was that good. The ambiance of the restaurant is very classy and well done. Service was spot on. I wish I was in Portland more often so I could come often. Will highly recommend to Thai food lovers. Pricing was very affordable. I thought it would be more when I walked in. Great job to the chefs , owners and staff!

Dined here twice and both times they delivered. The chili chicken was flavourful & the prawns in red curry was simply delicious. Prices are good and servings generous.

I did a pick up order of red thai curry and was pretty let down by it. It was a smaller portion than expected and had ingredients in it that were listed on the menu that I didn't ask for. It was suppose to come with eggplant, bamboo shoots, and bell peppers. Instead is at a few of those items along with broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini, and carrots. At these items filled up the container and left room for 5 cubes of tofu. The sauce and food itself tasted fine but I was let down by the contents. Unfortunately didn't check food until I got home.

Great fast service. Food was wonderful and the restaurant clean. Recommend.

Diner Review β„–36

We have had 2 very delicious dishes from here the 3 mediocre and one terrible dish. Their shrimp pineapple fried rice is disgusting there were only 6 flavorless shrimp too much pineapple and for some reason dozens of raisins. I've lived in Thailand and never had raisins in anything. We won't be back.

Diner Review β„–37

Used to eat here more often, got to go and it just didn't settle in my stomach, the spinach looked old and should of been thrown out instead of in my plate, feels like the food was cooked in some low grade oil.

Diner Review β„–38

I used Uber Eats. It was amazing food! Called the restaurant to have them thank the chef!

Diner Review β„–39

The food here is good, but they're wait times for take out are atrocious. I called in an order to pick. They told me 20 min tops and I sat waiting for over half an hour.

Diner Review β„–48

Great Thai place, AC and atmosphere are top notch with excellent service. Great lunch specials also. Large portions and the Thai tea is excellent, plus they have the good nugget ice. Got two large entrees and two Thai teas for $35 from the lunch menu. Service was good and speedy. Prawn curry was excellent and jumbo shrimps were well cooked as the tails easily pulled off.

Diner Review β„–49

Monday night at 7:30 we found it almost empty. Food is consistently good, both times we ordered Tender Beef and Chili Chicken, got spicy and oh so good! We are coming back soon πŸ˜‹ the only part that can improve is to offer an up charge to sub out steamed rice for sticky rice , instead the server said if I wanted sticky rice they will bring both which are huge bowls of wasted rice… also adding music would improve the atmosphere, as it gets echoey inside.

Excellent food and perfect service! We came around 3pm, and within 10 min already was enjoying our delicious food. We’ve ordered Tom Kha (not really spicy, and delicious!), WonTon Soup (perfect fish broth), Egg Rolls (crispy and fresh), and Roasted Duck with Tangerine sauce (super juicy and citrus)

P.S. The dishes were big :) // AC works perfectly well :)

Diner Review β„–53

Normally, I try to avoid going to a restaurant close to closing time with the fear of feeling rushed out & feeling guilty for the kitchen staff. But that was not the case at all when stopping at aren Onion. I believe we stopped an hour or hour & a half before closing. The staff was super friendly to us along with others who came in around the same time as us. Not only did the staff check in on us regularly, they even asked if we wanted anything else before the kitchen closed. The food was amazing, fresh & delicious!

Diner Review β„–54

I came here because this place was recommended to me by my family and my goodness it was an amazing experience. The staff were so kind and the food came out fast. Everything tasted very clean and fresh! I would definitely recommend getting the mango prawns. It had such a nice sweet and salty flavor that was so addicting to eat. I will definitely be coming back here again soon!

Diner Review β„–55

Hair in 3-4 dishes. We went 8 persons. Never feel bad like anywhere.

Diner Review β„–56

We liked that the menu featured items that aren't available in every other Thai place (& we've been to many). People working here were friendly & helpful, unlike Langbaan! We ended up spending more per person bc they actually had a decent wine selection. Would probably be in our regular restaurant rotation if we lived close.

Diner Review β„–57

Food is alright, but there service is the worst. They are always rude and in a terrible mood. I recommend to always eat take out if you're craving this, but even then their attitude is worst on the phone and they hang up on you.

Diner Review β„–58

I took my parents recently and everybody loved their food. I've been many times. Pad prik king is always great!

Diner Review β„–59

Out of town and just happened to drop in. The Duck in tamarind sauce and the Beef in curry were divine ! Portions are big too !
Will definitely come back again if in Portland

Stopped in during lunch hours and was very pleased, food and service was perfect. I got seated and my food within 10 minutes of showing up. Very kind and checked in often.
The fresh rolls are delicious and the sauce is slightly sweet. The iced thai tea was lovely and I loved the ice chunks.

My wife and I love this place. The food is fresh and tasty πŸ˜‹

Diner Review β„–67

My new favorite spot now. Friendly hosts. Ordered online and meals were ready in 10mins.

Red Curry Chicken and Spicy Chicken/Shrimp Crispy Basil both were very delicious and enough for 2 portions as Lunch orders.
For hotness I would order "Thai Hot" as my food was not spicy at "Medium+" especially if you are like me who munches on Habaneros.

Meals were double packed with thick plastic then a large brown paper bag. No breaks or leaks in the car.

Opens at 11am weekdays, a huge plus unlike other Thai restaurants near me that opens at noon, which delays ordering and returning to work.

For pickups park on NW 23rd or even on the side roads as it is not busy at 11am ish. I highly recommend Red Onion.!!!!!!

Diner Review β„–68

Stopped by this restaurant on a work trip. The food was really good! We enjoyed some yellow chicken curry and some Tom Yum Noodles. Had fried tofu for the appetizer (it was a little plain, but the sauce was great!) and also had fresh rolls (spring rolls) which were delicious and packed with veggies! This was a great experience. Staff were very attentive, checking in multiple times and making sure our waters never went below half full. Pictured is the Tom Yum Noodles

Diner Review β„–70

The food was fresh and tasty. I appreciated the quantity of the servings and I was particularly impressed with the halibut. I regret not ordering that dish (Three Flavors Halibut?) and I look forward to doing so upon my next visit.

What I didn't enjoy were the obvious chunks of missing dishware in the plates and bowls that were used to serve our meals in. As a restaurateur, especially an ASIAN restaurateur, they should know better than to serve their finely prepared cuisine in badly damaged dishware to their guests. It is not only insulting to the guest but also to the hard working kitchen staff who created the dishes with such care, creativity and love.

Diner Review β„–72

I was fortunate to have stumbled across this restaurant recently while running an errand during lunch time. I ordered a green curry with veggies and tofu and a massauman curry with veggies and tofu, both with brown rice (which costs $2 extra but well worth it annd is anctually a purple rice which was delicious, nutty and filling) and a papaya salad. The staff was super kind and helpful. The curry was outstanding. Super flavorful with chunks of tofu, califlour, broccoli, onion and red bell pepper (this was the maussaman curry). I got two meals out of my lunch portion. The person who ate the green curry which has eggplant loved it. The papaya salad was so good that I ate the whole thing that day. Super flavorful and full of grated papaya with a wedge of iceberg. The sauces and quality of the food were 5 star and the prices are reasonable and not inflated. I recommend this restaurant and look forward to my next trip there.

Diner Review β„–73

The Khao Soi and Musselman curry is excellent! Not impressed with the pad thai which was 98% noodle. I like a higher vegetable and protein ratio and the chicken was dry and flavorless

Very good Thai food at a reasonable price, large portions, friendly service, great location. You can actually taste the fresh spices!

Diner Review β„–86

Food has always tasted so fresh, incredibly kind and friendly staff and great atmosphere. This happens to be only a block away from me, so I was really hoping to enjoy it here just due to them being so close, and they have never disappointed!!! Even when I order carry out, so much care and love put into the food. I have never once had an issue with them getting my order wrong or incorrect.. which is so rare for me considering I have so many dietary restrictions - they have never failed to make sure everything is perfect and correct. Truly can not stress enough how much I love this place and the food. Amazing prices also!!!

I was very unsatisfied with the customer service I was disrespected for a very simple thing. I asked for utensils and I was refused to get more β€œbecause I only ordered three items” I asked for eight forks which I don’t see where the problem with that but the employee made it into that. Thank you (mill)

Diner Review β„–95

Diner Review β„–96

I ordered the beef, pumpkin massaman curry dish and it was legitimately one of the best curry dishes I've ever tasted. The beef was completely tender like a slow-cooked stew beef should be. I could break it apart with a fork without force. The flavor and consistency of the sauce was *perfect*, and the menu describes the curry itself as being house-made - I believe it, as it's the best yellow curry of any kind I've had before.

Also, it bears mentioning that their online ordering measures for gauging how spicy you'd like your food (within the 'seamless' option anyway), hit the mark just right for me, between what I chose and what I got. Although I will also mention that this same portal for online ordering ultimately told me that the order (for just the one item) would not be ready for about 45 mins, which was definitely not how long it took to make a curry with a side of rice. My food was a little cold when I showed up only 30 mins after ordering, as opposed to 45+ as suggested. So beware the Seamless ETA suggestion when ordering and consider arriving sooner, as your order will be sitting on an unheated counter waiting for you.

Seamless issue aside, and very fortunately, I only live about 3 blocks from this place, so I'm thinking this will become my go-to Thai place if the rest of their menu continues to be this excellent.

I've only gotten take-out so far, upon this first visit, so I can't really speak to the service or the atmosphere, but when I arrived to pick it up, the place was very clean and the host was pleasant.

I'll look forward to trying more of their dishes soon.

Best Thai in PORTLAND period !!!
I dined in on Wednesday there were 4 of us and we all could not decide who’s dish was best 🌢️ πŸ† πŸ₯¬ Very Fresh πŸ§„πŸ«‘πŸ§… My dry Martini was perfect
On my go to LIST now ❗️

Diner Review β„–104

Delicious Thai food in the heart of Portland! Tried the phad thai, tom kha, phad see ew, and fresh rolls along with mango sticky rice. Every dish was delicious with large portions as well!

Diner Review β„–105

No lunch special on a Monday when you state the lunch menu is Monday-Friday. Either have one or don't have one, don't pick random days to not have it and not notify customers. Bad business practice.

Diner Review β„–106

Diner Review β„–107

The ambience is good. Food was above average. One of the service guys was a great disappointment. He was rude for no reason. When we settled down, without being asked, water was served and we requested replacing them with hot water. The served water glasses were taken back and brought back half emptied with a mug of hot water to be topped up to make them warm. The guy who brought the half filled glasses seemed agitated and started yelling saying that we should have told them in the beginning itself. He never realized that in the first place the water was served without any request from us. Not a pleasant way to start off dinner. Very unprofessional and definitely not a good experience.

Diner Review β„–108

Delicious!! I had drunken noodles and that iced tea. The portion was massive and so tasty! I tried to rest it all but couldn't. Sadly I am leaving Portland tomorrow so I couldn't take it with me or else I would have!!

I am completely obsessed with Red Onion Thai, such good flavor, fast service, and you cannot beat their lunch special prices !!! Amazing quality, I will continue to come back for more 🀀

Diner Review β„–110

Great presentation, good food, amazing Thai tea.

The presentation of the food and atmosphere of the place were great! Every dish came out really pretty and delicious. Do note though that most dishes are on the sweeter side but I feel like with Thai food it’s either spicy, sweet or a combo of both. Loved their Thai tea as it wasn’t as sweet and their beef and eggplant dish was delicious. Would come again!

Diner Review β„–111

Diner Review β„–112

Food is typically good here, solid Pad Thai, great crab cakes, and drinks. Not over priced. This time, I had veggies and peanut sauce, "the emerald". The veggies were super soggy, with no flavor and lots of excess water on the plate from the boiled veggies. I had to actually drain it, kinda gross. Eeh. Peanut sauce is very good.

Diner Review β„–113

Great food and huge portions. Best Thai in town!

Diner Review β„–115

Friday night, August 18, 8pm. Only 3 tables, which is kinda sad, but the food was fresh and quite good and very large portions. (All 3 of us can have lunch tomorrow with the leftovers.) All dishes had a lot of the chosen meat or seafood. Dining room is very large and pleasant. The sweet and sour stir fry was loaded with lots of vegetables. Noodle dish Pad See Ew had much less vegetables.
Larb chicken salad was mostly chicken, with a wedge of iceberg and a big piece of green leaf, so could have been presented better with more chopped lettuce.

Diner Review β„–116

They do it right here!

Diner Review β„–117

This has to b one of the best lunch specials in the city! Super friendly and quick service, huge portions and the food is delicious and fresh! New favorite go to on my lunch breaks ✨

Diner Review β„–118

I’ve going to this restaurant for years. It always has delicious food and the ambiance is nice. The setting is more intimate than Thai Bloom and the seasoning of the food is savory and delicious, not cloyingly sweet like some Thai restaurants. I would definitely recommend it.

Diner Review β„–119

Distinguishes itself in a crowded Thai restaurant scene with generous portions of vegetables. Friendly service and very good value. Recommend the fresh watermelon juice!

Diner Review β„–120

Right after we came in, a party of 16 walked in. The staff was running to keep up, but they kept up very well. The food didn't look or taste rushed. And tables got bussed quickly.
A true test of a restaurant, and they breezed through it.
Good job.

Diner Review β„–121

This place offers flavorful and authentic Thai food, definitely recommend. Started with shrimp salad rolls with peanut sauce and thai iced tea which was amazing. My friend had the veggie cashew nut dish and I had the beef drunken noodles (Pad see ew). The portions are on point, you won't leave hungry. Service was very prompt, wasn't busy in the middle of the day.

Diner Review β„–122

We had the pineapple fried rice, sausage fried rice, and egg rolls. Tasted very fresh, excellent flavor and ingredients. We generally prefer a higher spice level, and they didn't have any chili oil or hot sauce, only red pepper flakes. It was also freezing inside, but better than too hot!

Food was great. Many fresh veggies as "garnish" that were a welcome addition, and more veggies than I'm used to in with the pineapple fried rice.

I'm a huge fan of Thai Food offerings. My first favorite was in Kailua-Kona Hawaii. When I moved back to Oregon I found 4 other spots that are quite delightful.
My friend and I were down town today and spied Red Onion. Oh Happy Day. We ordered Mussamum Curry, Pad Curry Powder noodles and Salad rolls. As we say on Hawaii, "Broke my mouth". I'm telling everyone I know.

Diner Review β„–132

Diner Review β„–133

Service was very quick and good. But food was on the sweeter side. Tom Kha and Tom Yum soups were very tasty. Pad thai, green curry and poo ja were very very good. We also ordered pad kee mao which was a little too sweet. Basil fried rice was sweet too, but not as sweet as pad kee mao. All vegetable pieces were extremely big, so be careful with ordering vegetables in your dish. Sticky rice with mango was okayish, rice was a little too hard. Overall, it was a good meal with quick service.

Diner Review β„–134

We went for vegetarian salad rolls, papaya salad and pad se ew with tofu.

Food was very tasty.

Service was rushed but friendly.

Decor is more lunch date / lunch break from work than dinner date.

Diner Review β„–135

Red curry was bland and very watery, and all of the vegetables in it were WAY overcooked. Tom Kha soup was also very bland and the vegetables in it were overcooked and mushy. Will not be back.

Red Onion is a nice restaurant! The staff was very friendly. Our order came quickly and was nice and hot. And the food tasted fresh. I rated the atmosphere a 3 only because it's nothing to write home about. Very plain. (If you're into the atmosphere experience, this may not be the place for you.) Otherwise, craving Thai? I would recommend it!

Diner Review β„–146

Food was absolutely delicious. We had a mid afternoon lunch/dinner: tom kha soup, beef salad, and lemongrass chicken. Everything was beautifully presented, fresh and hot, very flavorful. The service was great, the beef and chicken were perfectly cooked and tender, and the peanut sauce is so good. There were not many people there, so it was fairly quiet, except the music was a little too loud - I know, we're too old! Would definitely go back there again.

A solid place to go for lunch when in the NW 23rd area. The place has a decent lunch menu and reasonable prices. The portions are healthy and great for sharing. The service is attentive and quick. The Drunken Noodles and Chinese Susage Fried Rice were worth ordering over the Tom Yum Noodle Soup in my opinion.

Edit: I gave this some more thought. I was probably comparing their angel wings to angel wings I had 30 years ago. That's probably not fair. Sometimes we remember things more fondly than they actually were. 5 stars, but still no parking. ):

Good food , no parking. I was not impressed with the angel wings. They were perfectly good, but not great. The yellow curry with beef was very good.

One of my favorite Thai places. The food is fresh and delicious, the staff is friendly and accommodating, and to me the flavors are quite authentic.

The tables and chairs are always clean, and the place is well laid out and inviting.

The menu has a little something for everyone's tastes, and offers everything from soup to a salad (the lemongrass chicken is delicious), noodles to stir fry dishes, and just about everything in between.

If you're in the area, stop in for a bite, and it's definitely worth the trip from the metro area if you like fresh delicious food.

I had the papaya salad which had excellent flavor and perfect spice, but I would add that it was all one more. Definitely add a protein or noodle dish to diversify the flavor. I chose to get it with the Tom yum cup of soup. Also very tasty and perfect balance of spice. An hour later I did get sick but I can’t be positive it was from eating here so all in all I would try it again one day to see how it goes. The parking situation is atrocious, but if you’re already in Portland that’s the story of your life. They’re available on seamless for pick up or delivery as well.

I recently went to this establishment for the first time and I wanted to share my experience. I thought the service was fantastic! The food was great, with the portions very nicely sized. I think if you have a date maybe ordering one dish, side and dessert would be great! I ordered garlic chicken and the mango prawns, both in medium heat(chili level) and they were fabulous! I would highly recommend this restaurant and also recommend you share or be prepared to have lots of left overs to carry around.

Small restaurant. Fast service. Delicious duck with vegetables.

The food is SO dang good. The biggest plus about this place is the pricing! For the amount of great quality food you get, you sure get a bang for your buck. I was surprised it wasn't busier, and maybe because of that, our food came out very quickly. Super hot, super fresh ingredients. Definitely the best Thai place in Portland I've had in years.

Don't go delivery. You will die from hungry. The worst for more reasons than I can include here. Food is good. Service is horrible. Don't order to go..You will not get it

The food was excellent but the service was average at best.

Diner Review β„–199

Food was definitely tasty and portions were really great for takeout! Price was also right.

Went with the Phad Thai, Phad See Ew, and yellow curry. Wouldn’t say any of the dishes were particularly phenomenal compared to Thai I’ve had in the past, but they were all tasty nonetheless. Definitely a good place to consider for some fast casual Thai in the NW area.

I used the restaurant website to order and received confirmation that I was registered. Unfortunately the order did not go through. The folks were hostile and unhelpful and felt it was my fault. I was surprised and disappointed that my experience was so different to what others experienced.
