Thai Carnation Restaurant and Lounge

Nice restaurant, friendly staff, clean. The food was excellent although the carrots in the curry tasted earthy and unpeeled. Pity, as it’s my only criticism from an otherwise great meal. I’d have given 4.5 stars if Google allowed that. We’d come again, definitely.

This place took us by surprise. great authentic Thai food. I had the duck roast curry and my bf had the beef pad wood sen. Both were full of flavor and tasty. Portions are big and you'll be full. Place is quiet and was mostly empty, you could see the revolving door of take out happening, and it was nice to sit in a quiet place and enjoy our dinner. Definitely recommend.

First time here. The food is good, could be better, but it's good enough. I guess it just does not have that authenticity or originality that I look for when I go to any Asian restaurant. It's worth trying again though, and order other dishes. So far, I like the Seafood Pik pow and the Eggplant stir-fry. My husband likes the Yakisoba noodles stir-fry. The wonton soup is bland, and they used different kind of wontons. The Lemongrass chicken, not my favorite.

Some of the best Thai food I've ever had. I had the garlic and black pepper chicken with rice. Red curry was also delicious but more spice than I like (I'm no spice to mild). Casual atmosphere. Our server was very attentive and made sure the gluten free member in our party was accommodated.

Excellent food, great flavors, We started with the chicken satay. Then the duck red curry was amazing. The tom yum seafood blend soup was good. And the beef stir fry was great. All the portions were great in size. Will definitely return. Thank you, Jose, for your service.

Love the foods and services. Very nice people, smiling and greeting courteously. Highly recommended.

Fresh delicious food, quick service and lively Thai music atmosphere. Shrimp chicken Khao suey ❤️ was the best. Ultimate soul touching dish with delicious broth topped with crispy noodles! Thai basil fried rice and Pad see ew noodles was the next best. 👌🏽 The yellow Thai veggie curry was okay, so were the fish cutlets. The curry is served with plain white rice which is freshly prepped and perfectly cooked. Too much tofu chunks in both the dishes though! Thumbs 👍🏽 up for this beautiful restaurant. Loved the Khao suey... I'll definitely revisit the next time I visit Portland.

Awesome spot for Thai food! Best in Portland area. Thai Carnation never disappoints. The food is super flavorful and always fresh. I’m especially hooked on their larb—it’s perfectly seasoned with the right amount of heat and that fresh lime kick. The staff is friendly, and the vibe is chill, whether you're grabbing takeout or eating in. It's definitely one of my go-to spots when I’m in the mood for Thai. Highly recommend!
