Diner Review β„–4

We got takeout and the food was good but the portions were much smaller than other places we’v been to. The curries we got were also too sweet for our taste, but good flavor otherwise.

Sign says β€œClosed” outside. Just a heads up so you don’t waste your time going. I guess they had issues with staffing.

Diner Review β„–8

A lot to be desired :( didn't eat enough to get sick. No way I would recommend it.

Diner Review β„–9

Currently closed due to staffing shortage. A sad blow to The Dalles. Hopefully they'll be open again come spring.

Delicious food πŸ˜‹

Diner Review β„–11

We moved from Portland not long ago and I’m so happy to know we have a great Thai place that we can regularly eat at! Great food available and the staff are so friendly.

Diner Review β„–12

Ate in but food came in take out containers and paper plates. Fresh vegetable wraps were almost solid lettuce..could barely see a bit of carrot and noodles in the middle. House special red curry tolerable. Don't bother with the Tom Kah soup. Both too heavy on the fish sauce. We won't be back.

One of the best restaurants in town. Also the best thai food I've ever had. You will not be disappointed with any item. I've tried quite a few. Do your self a favor and get hooked on this place!

Every time we find ourselves going through The Dalles we stop at Montiras; we even ordered our small wedding party dinner from here after our ceremony in 2020. Highly recommend.

Diner Review β„–25

I don't know what happened to my favorite pumkin curry dish!! I've been a long time customer but my last experience was just awful!! The dish was so fishy tasting & spicy it wasn't Palatable! Maybe a diffrent chef? So disappointed that I'm not going to order what was my favorite dish ever again!!

My mouth and stomach are SO Happy! The servings were a great size, and the flavors were delicious! I loved the mango sticky rice at the end, our dishes were both very flavorful, and with all the vegetables, I felt so healthy!

Diner Review β„–30

Friendly staff, speedy service, small portions, bland flavor, stingy on the meat.

Diner Review β„–31

Great flavors and willing to make items vegan.

Diner Review β„–32

Worst Thai food I’ve ever had. Pad Thai was bland and mushy

Diner Review β„–33

The house special curry is absolutely delicious! Pumpkin curry is also REALLY good!

Diner Review β„–34

The food was super savory and delicious. They serve everything to go, but you can sit indoors. The location is convenient and so pretty. We had the pumpkin curry with tofu, veggie stir fry and spring rolls. Sabroso! πŸ’―

Diner Review β„–35

Diner Review β„–36

This is more a review of the price for what you get than staff. We ordered the sample plate that's was 17.00 and came with 3 egg rolls (small) and 5 crab puffs also small and 4 dumplings. Seemed wrong so we asked. Nope that was it. Then we got the wrong entrΓ©e. The staff were nice about refunding us. But I wouldn't go back.

Diner Review β„–37

The first time I went to this place it wasn't very good this time excellent. Very good Thai coffee this timeπŸ‘πŸ€©.

Diner Review β„–38

Quick update...they are open to eat inside now, but just as takeout. I think they are having staffing issues as are most restaurants. Still good food.

Great meal this evening. I usually just get soups there, but went for a fried rice today and it was tasty!! It was the sweet and sour. Our server was outstanding and made the whole experience wonderful!! Definitely recommended!!

Diner Review β„–39

Great food, fantastic staff who were very accommodating and friendly. Highly recommend.

Diner Review β„–40

They’re a great restaurant and I do enjoy their food. Although it really disappoints me when I order extra peanut sauce and they don’t give me any on to go orders. The problem is that it seems to happen all the time.

Diner Review β„–41

The salads are great.

Diner Review β„–42

My favorite Thai place; however don't get fresh wraps after 1. The rice paper cover was hard and not good. Threw it out.

Diner Review β„–56

We went there to celebrate our wedding anniversary and we were disappointed that the dinning room was closed. We did get take-out and took it to the park down the road. The food was delicious and in my opinion it appeared to be authentic. The park worked out nicely by the way.

Diner Review β„–57

Consistent, excellent food

Diner Review β„–58

Diner Review β„–59

Best Thai in the Gorge in my opinion, with my favorite item being the House Curry. You will find dishes such as Pad Thai noodles, Salads with Thai themes and soups. There is also Duck on the menu, Tilapia fish, Stir Fry dishes and great desserts. I have tried nearly every item on the menu at one time or another, and would recommend them all.

Diner Review β„–60

Diner Review β„–61

Ordered over phone. Ready on time, accurate, and well packed for take out. Plastic ware, napkins, chop sticks available. No dine-in. Tasty Thai, better than expected. Easy parking.

Diner Review β„–62

Delicious food, chill ambience, great company. Loved it!

Diner Review β„–63

First time I have tried this place was today, for some odd reason I always thought it to be another Mexican restaurant but found out it was Thai which is one of my favorites. I forgot to take pictures but I had the Tom Kah and the pad see ew and they were both amazing! Reminds me of my favorite place on the coast. Thank you so much for a great experience

Diner Review β„–68

Looking forward to dining inside again. I've never had anything at Montira's that I didn't like!

Diner Review β„–69

Very satisfying and tasty small town that food, and very reasonably priced for generous portions.

Diner Review β„–70

Curry for days! This place serves up amazing food at a great price! Never disappointed!

Diner Review β„–71

My wife and I were in the area, tried two different curry dishes and thought they were both excellent. My wife had the vegetable house special curry and I had the beef massaman curry. The beef was tender and very flavorful. Both came with cooked white rice. We would definitely go back here again when we are in the area.

Diner Review β„–72

Montira's is one of my favorite Thai places! SO good, and always consistent. I've been eating here for years, love it 🍻

Diner Review β„–73

As a vegetarian living in The Dalles, there aren't too many places that I like to eat out. Montira's is my go-to because of all the veg options that are super tasty and hearty. I always order a tofu curry and it's packed with veggies. The best Thai food in the Gorge and on par with many places in Portland.

They are only doing take out because of the state restrictions but the food and service are top notch, as usual.

Diner Review β„–83

I ordered takeout on phone. The cook had a hard time understanding me, so I told her over and over! She did make it vegan; we think. When I got there they had me pay first! What? I didn’t order noodles we are restricted from that! She told me no, I did order that. What? She is calling her costumer a liar! Then , when I took the foods to my daughter’s room, the food was so bad, that my grandson cried it taste like rubber. I think that most of the stuff was cooked with frozen and overly oiled produce. There was such distraught children that it took a long time to calm things down! We bought microwaved food that tasted better to grandson and us. I would never go there again it took 1/4 ,$67 of my monthly SS for that horrible meal. Never would go there because the costumers are always right! Horrible food and attitude!

Diner Review β„–84

Bland and cold. Didn't understand request for gluten free.

Diner Review β„–87

I have spent time in Thailand. Nothing stateside compares but this restaurant is very good. The restaurant is owned by a Thai woman and her American husband. They are both top drawer people. Notice the picture of the owner in the cabinet by the door receiving her college diploma from the King of Thailand. She's cooking tonight. Ignore the negative reviews, this is as good as it gets, better than anything I have had in Portland. Don't whine about food being to spicy hot. Thai food is often fiery hot. Shut up and eat or go to Burger King. Eat the duck curry and the Som Tom salad. Smile.

Curry! That is all you need to know! Comfort food at it's best! Try the house curry if you LOVE peanuts. Yummm!!

Diner Review β„–116

It's a nice place. The staff is very friendly. The best Thai food in The Dalles

Diner Review β„–117

Not sure how the jungle curry is not a soup, but I'd recommend against it. Generally, flavors and dishes were not as good as last visit across the board.

Diner Review β„–118

Love this place but tonight was disappointed.
Eat here 8 times a year. Thai chicken was Thai Carrotts w not much chicken

Less than half chick breast. Took 15 min to get wine , 30 minutes for dinner.

Owner was cooking but need more help out front and another coming in kitchen.

Please fix this cause we live the food.

Excellent tom kah, pad tai and the pad ka-prow. My to go place for thai. Cheers

Diner Review β„–149

I have had type food only one time and did not have a good experience or enjoy it. This was my second trip to a Thai restaurant. The service was exceptional the staff was commendable and the food was terrific. I had a friend with me that help me order. I got the yellow curry with chicken and now I have a favorite Thai food. Wonderful service for a group of us and quick and efficient. Very friendly staff

Diner Review β„–150

Always friendly staff. The owner is on site and visits with people. Nice touch. Beautiful presentations on most dishes. Excellent salad rolls.

Diner Review β„–151

Best salad rolls

Diner Review β„–152

Diner Review β„–153

Diner Review β„–154

Not the best Thai food, but not much choice in The Dalles. The stir fry is way too salty.

Diner Review β„–155

Really great Thai and generous portions! I had Panang Curry - spicy, with chicken...It was amazing! Reasonably priced too! Service was very good!

Diner Review β„–156

This place was pretty darn good, enjoyed the appetizer which is pictured. I also ordered a cold scallop salad. I feel the salad could have had more scallops on it but all in all it tasted quite good. Service was curt and professional.

Diner Review β„–157

Really delicious, but a bit slow in coming with the food. That's the reason for 4 stars. The food is fresh and good tasting!

Diner Review β„–158

So many great options! For kids, too. They were busy but service was fast.

Diner Review β„–159

Diner Review β„–160

Tasty Thai food is served with good service in a pleasant atmosphere. The fresh rolls (elsewhere known as salad rolls) are an excellent appetizer. We had three different dishes and shared them; all were quite good and the spice just right. The parking lot is tricky to approach from the east so it's safer to go around to come in from the west.

Diner Review β„–161

Diner Review β„–162

Best Thai I've had in awhile. Got some curry, spring rolls, and a side order of sticky rice with a bottle of sweet chili sauce. I got my order to go, so I couldn't really tell you about the inside or wait staff. I know for my Birthday I was to stuffed to go to the bar for a pitcher. Awesome!

The three flavor crispy fish is awesome. Thanks for deliciousness and friendly service!!

Diner Review β„–184

They overcharged my Mango w/ sticky rice. When I brought it up with the cashier, he said, β€œwell, we are in the middle of changing the menu pricing”. Instead of admitting a screw up, and honor the current menu price, they’d rather be jerks about it. It’s only a $1.50, so I didn’t argue about it, but it’s in the principle. I normally tip well, but not this time. They should take a lesson in business decency.

Very good food. Not your run of the mill Asian food. This is really good stuff. Great service. Good atmosphere.

Diner Review β„–191

Good costumer service and food. I love their pad thai and their dessert- home made coconut ice cream

Diner Review β„–192

Diner Review β„–193

Food was good. Everything a little overcooked. I'm guess that's because its pre cooked then microwaved. But over all decent restaurant.

Diner Review β„–194

Delicious

Food was delicious. Portions are small on some dishes for the price.
