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.

User Reviews of Thanh Thao Restaurant

Yelp.com Review - by West C.

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…

Yelp.com Review - by Aaron S.

4.0 of 5 stars. 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…

Yelp.com Review - by Matthew S.

1.0 of 5 stars. 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?…

4.0 of 5 stars. This one time when I was in New York, I took a day trip to Chinatown, and my friends and I had lunch at a small Vietnamese restaurant. It smelled like seafood and there were a bunch of locals chowing…

4.0 of 5 stars. 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…

5.0 of 5 stars. 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…

5.0 of 5 stars. 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…

Choose carefully and you can't go wrong

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....

You can get better food down the street-- avoid this place

I don't understand why Thanh Thao is so popular. I decided to try it last night with a friend. We arrived for dinner a little before six and were seated promptly, but I had to get up and ask for menus. We...

It is so hard to find incredible Hot and Sour soup. If you are looking for it, Thanh Tao has it!!!! I keep going back again and again!!!

Thanh Thao offers deliciousness for a great price. The more common dinner dishes ran around $7 - $10 with portions large enough for two (especially if you get an order of spring rolls), or if you want it all...

Mediocre to bad

There are just too many good options in this neighborhood to deal with the overcooked tasteless vegetables, bland meat, and dirty floors at this dump. Go elsewhere (Thai Thai for instance, still looking for...

Great food, good service, good pricing

I love the food here. The Mango chicken, Won Ton soup, Noodle soup, shrimp with pea pods...I could go on. We eat here often and are never disappointed. Reasonable pricing. Good service. Try it you'll like it!

The soup, it's called Tom Kah, and it's awesome.

I just finished a large "to go" container of the Tom Kah soup, and I feel amazingly high. Thanh Thao is one of the original Thai places in town, it's not a chain, and it is owned by people who know the food...
