Business Summary  what's this?
For four star Vietnamese, try Thanh Thao in Portland. This is a great place. This is a popular Hawthorne area restaurant. When you step inside the restaurant, you'll notice a family atmosphere. This place is good for groups.
4.0 of 5 stars.
Without a doubt, best bang for your buck in PDX. A single entree feeds two of us with leftovers. I'm a glutton for the curry beef (it's brown). The reviewer below apparently doesn't realize that…

I just want to emphasize how great this place is. And to all the morons who keep expecting it to be Thai food it is not. It is Vietnamese with Thai here and there. It's good food, with good service…

This is one of the worst Thai restaurants that I've ever been to. The only thing on the menu that even sounded worth trying was the Pad Thai. You'd think that would be safe at a Thai place, right?…

God, I must be the hardest sell for Thai food. After basking in the culinary glory of the food carts of Thailand and esp. Bangkok, I can't seem to find anything in Portland worth eating again. So, why…

I thought this place was really excellent. One thing I've found in abundance in Portland is good Thai spots - the only thing that determines which one I'll go to on a given night is its proximity to…

We eat at Thanh Thao pretty frequently. They recently added brown rice to the menu, which is a big plus for me. I've been happy with everything I've ever ordered there with one exception. Avoid the…

MMMMMMMMMMMMM. I love me some spicy food. I like food that hurts to eat it, and I leave with my eyes and nose running. I am still somewhat of a spice wimp, so don't be afraid. It doesn't take much…

Thanh Thao is a long-time neighborhood favorite of our family. Trial and error has turned up some good food and not so good food. Avoid the noodle dishes--they disappoint with little flavor and too much oil....
