"Portland is home to some of America’s most-acclaimed Thai restaurants, both past and present. But it’s also a town packed with dozens of good-to-excellent Thai spots that don’t require a special occasion or stretch the budget. Full Moon Thai is the Hollywood neighborhood’s anchor Thai destination, reliably delivering favorites like papaya salad, pad see ew, and a bounty of 10 different curries. Patrons dining in after 8 p.m. can enjoy the happy hour pricing: Most dishes are several dollars cheaper, and the already affordable house cocktails are just $8. Dine in the casual but warm dining room or in covered patio seating." - Nathan Williams
