Thai Peacock

I’m not a review leaver. But this place deserves a review more than any restaurant I have been to. I have never tasted a cuisine that deserved a review as much as this does. Our family of 6 came in, ate all sorts of different platters and drinks. I cannot find a single thing to complain about whatsoever. Every single plate was astonishing in their own ways. All of the drinks were immaculate and well made. I don’t care if this place doubles the prices, I will not be deterred. This is better than fine dining, this is a spiritual experience in the food realm. If you are reading this searching for a place to eat, stop thinking and pull up the directions to Thai Peacock.

Read it very nicely professionally, waitress was very excited and eager to help, even though they were extremely busy the food was utterly fantastic. Very flavorful food and authentic. Restaurant is very clean and friendly environment. The fried rice, although very common any restaurants was much better than their competition. Ramen noodles with chicken are also very good and not only authentic but very, very tasteful. Management must do a good job here as they do a fantastic job with hiring. The only thing I would say is bring your patience. Don’t be in a rush to get out of here. They will do their best to accommodate you, but you have to understand with how busy they are. It is worth the wait

I saw with my own eyes the kitchen how ever single plate was homemade. AMAZING papaya salad. The throut I thought might be dry and it's was not. BEST CHOICE you're safe with anything you eat and like

Unique & tasty Thai food! The house sampler is a must-try for a great intro to their appetizers. Crab Rangoon is prepared differently here (breading wasn't my fave). Egg noodles with shrimp (shells included, not my preference) still tasted good. Loved the classic fried rice with minced chicken – a delicious first! Worth a try, especially for the appetizers.

Fantastic food. The crispy trout was phenomenol. We ordered it as an appetizer, along with the spring rolls & peanut sauce. If totally recommend doing that with the trout no matter what side you order. I had the Kaeng Panang with vegetables. It came with coconut rice. You mixed a little in to the curry and ate it. The spice level was perfect.

Good food served hot and fair prices. The server forgot part of the order and had to wait an extra 30 minutes before we ordered and had the food come. Comfortable window seating.

WOW! so many great dishes to choose from. Everything looks and tastes amazing! I had a pork dish with garlic fried rice. Definitely recommend to anyone in the area. The dining area is a bit cramped and a bit loud. But if you dont mind that, you wont regret coming here!

One of the best places I ate at in Portland during my visit. The crispy trout was incredible. My spouse had the Thai Peacock Curry with rice and was just as pleased. Prices were very reasonable considering how delicious the meal was.

I've dined in and have ordered take-out from here multiple times. It is pretty spacious with additional seating upstairs. First dine in visit here was on a Sunday afternoon and we were seated immediately. We ordered the crab cream cheese wontons, tom yum with chicken, basil fried rice & crispy trout, and pad se-ew with beef. The following visit was around 2pm on a Saturday with a decent amount of people present but almost no wait and we were seated shortly. We ordered the thai iced tea, tom yum with chicken and a side of rice, basil fried rice & crispy trout, and pad khi-mao with beef. Our most recent visit was on Tuesday around 3pm to no wait whatsoever. We ordered the matsaman curry & crispy trout, pad ka-phrao with pork belly, and pad khi-mao with beef. It was my boyfriend's birthday and they kindly gave us complementary crispy banana rolls. My favorite dish is the pad khi-mao with beef! The noodles were chewy, crispy, and there was so much flavor. We found a hair in it once and the dish was remade for us with the second time equally as good as the first. Unfortunately it was not as good at our most recent visit with the lack of char and chewiness but it could've just been an off day. Another notable item is the crispy trout, I always make sure to include it in one of the dishes as it is not found on the menu at many other restaurants! The crispy trout has not done me wrong and has tasted good with the basil fried rice, matsaman curry, AND pad thai! The server recommended the pork belly to go with the pad ka-phrao and unfortunately it was not it for us with a lack of crispiness.

Ordered the Pad Thai Trout and it was so tasty. The Pad Thai had a smokey wok flavor. Probably the best Pad Thai in town. Service was good Ambiance was trendy and cozy.

This thai place has been on my list for quite sometime now because of its great reviews and a lot of recommendations for spicy food. Had a chance to visit this place on a weekend. It was decently crowded. The staff were very nice. They did mention that the spice level is the exactly the same what we order Ordered everything spicy and the food was spicy. They were true to their words ! Ordered some drinks, everything was perfect. We ordered some series of fried rice and pad thai with tofu, shrimp. Everything was perfect and delicious. A must visit if you are around this place. The prices were decent too. Ambiance of the place is good.

The food here was so delicious, and spicy. I opted for the chicken pad see ew! The service was fast, and we quickly got our items as well. We were able to get seated upstairs, which I liked because I could see everything. I was also able to try the papaya salad, and it was so good and refreshing. When I come back to Portland, I would love to try a cocktail and/or a dessert.

My favorite Thai restaurant and I don't even live in Portland! This was the first time ordering it to go so I was worried about how the crispy fish would hold up and what the dish would look like. The dish itself looked exactly like how it does on a regular plate. I should've checked in earlier to see if my food was ready because it was sitting there for a bit which meant the fish was slowly losing its crispiness. The taste though was still outstanding. The pad Thai was also done very nicely and I enjoyed every bite! Next time I'll eat at the restaurant again. Definitely still my go to for Thai whenever I'm in Portland!

I came here on my BIRTHDAY for a Thai dinner. It was a weeknight and I chose it because I was craving Thai & it was in walking distance of my hotel. Upon first impression, the staff weren't particularly friendly or warm. A female server directed me to seat myself in the second room which lead to a narrow path next to the kitchen. It was kind of strange, as I felt like I was intruding. I sat myself and the young woman cleared the additional place settings. I glanced at the menu and once I selected my dinner, I waited significantly, without being attended to. I noticed 2 other males of a certain race being attended before me, and I felt ignored. Eventually, out of frustration, I flagged her down and asked her to take my order. I ordered Pad se-ew and a Thai iced tea. The food was good & piping hot. Nothing remarkable but decent. The service could definitely have been better. I noticed that she was more attentive after the fact, but perhaps it was to get me in & out. She gave me the check relatively quickly. I truly have mixed feelings about the treatment I received here. If I were in town next time, I would not come back. There are much nicer options Portland has to offer.

Went simply for a Thai boba tea and it was so good I barely made it out of the restaurant before it was gone Unsure of the food because we got pizza from a spot around the corner but there were a few locals there that recommended it, so check it out :)

Be careful the spice in these dishes is hot hot. The meat is minced in the dishes which I enjoyed. The food is flavorful and comes out super quick. We had to wait for a table but less time than estimated. It's a busy restaurant but worth it. Highly recommended

Was here on a business trip and must say the food was amazing! We were able to be seated right away and our waiter took great care of us. The ambiance was very homey and wasn't too loud or too quiet - I would recommend getting the Pad Se Ew!

Came to eat lunch here after walking around Powell's Bookstore. Service is decent and our food came out pretty quickly. We got the garlic fried rice and larb as well as the pad thai, which were both decent. However, the three-star rating is due to us finding a hair in one of our dishes - when we alerted the workers, they were apologetic and re-made the dish for us.

We were looking for lunch options after the zoo and found Thai Peacock on Yelp. We were seated immediately. We got the Kaeng Panang curry with Chicken, Basil Fried Rice & Crispy Trout, and Pad Thai with Chicken. We loved all 3 items we got. The Basil fried rice with Crispy trout is such a unique item and we loved it (we also loved that there were no bones to deal with). I am not usually a fan of curry, but loved their Kaeng Panang curry, it also came with flavored rice that we loved. Each item was a good size for the price.

My husband and I ate lunch at Pine St Market. He got Pad Thai from Thai Peacock. He said it wasn't that great.

Great ambiance in the restaurant! The food is delicious and they definitely don't skimp on the heat. Ordered thai basil fried rice with medium heat and it's kicking hard! Would come back

Visited on Christmas morning and couldn't be happier with the experience! The food had a perfectly well-balanced taste and was appropriately priced--nothing disappointed. The location is great too; we spotted this place the other day while visiting Powell's. They offer ample veggie options, which was a big plus for us. We tried the Panang Curry and Drunken Noodles, both of which were an absolute 5/5. Highly recommend if you're in the area!

I ordered the house special curry beef rice with Thai milk tea. The milk tea was perfect too, the curry had great flavor, and the rice was healthy. The price was very reasonable, and the service was excellent. No wonder this restaurant has such a high rating, definitely worth recommending!

You walk almost through the kitchen to get to one of the dining rooms, it's a little confusing, but there's more seating than it looks like when you first arrive. The service was quite slow when we got there, we had to really try to get the server's attention to place our order after almost 20 minutes of waiting. The food was good and came out very fast, but the chicken wasn't the best, it was really chewy and didn't have a great flavor. I'd come back most likely for take out, but wouldn't order another chicken dish here.

10/10 place to eat at when visiting Portland. My husband and I were both wow'd by how delicious everything we ordered was. Even the non-alcoholic drinks were delicious. The wait can get long during lunch or dinner times, but it's so worth it. Highly recommend getting the trout plate and pad Thai. The khao soy was also a hit. I'm convinced you can't go wrong with anything you order here. Every dish was unique, but each dish was tasty. We'll be back the next time we're in Portland!

Shockingly good Thai food in Portland, just across the street from Powell's. On a bustling Saturday night they had space for the 3 of us at a table upstairs so we were seated without a wait or reservation. The pad thai was delicious, every noodle was properly fried with wok hei and I also got the crispy trout option with it which was cooked perfectly, there was enough to share between all 3 people. the papaya salad was delicious as well, the right amount of heat/acidity and the papaya wasn't too chewy. also tried the pad khi mao which was similarly well cooked, seasoned, and flavorful. the portions were generous as well. overall every entree was a hit. the one dish that we did not like was the thai tea cake dessert. it was small, bland, with unappetizing textures (a dry flat cake with a rubbery custard like topping on top that separated itself from the sad little cake beneath it) and a disappointingly bland taste. would not get this again.

Thai Peacock was a great recommendation from our hotel concierge at the Benson. Probably, hands down, the most flavorful panang curry I've eaten. It comes with your option of protein, I added beef, and add one of pineapple chunks, fresh cut mango, or pumpkin (I added the pumpkin). If I could have licked the bowl in the restaurant, I would have. The drink, "Mango Sticky Rice," was delicious. My bestie got the learn and garlic fried rice, but substituted tofu as the protein...delicious. We got to try the salad roll; I could've eaten that peanut sauce by the bucket. The egg rolls were crispy and tasty. Definitely a must go place!

Had a fantastic experience at Thai Peacock in PDX. Took my wife for a date night over the weekend & it's a great spot to do so. The environment inside was warm & inviting. The service was much quicker than I expected. The staff were professional and quick to serve. I got the Pad Se-ew along with the Thai Whisky Smash, both were fantastic in the quality and taste. Would highly recommend!

I was craving Thai food and wanted to see if I could find one in the Portland area. It just happened to be walking distance from where I parked my vehicle and they had a decent amount of positive reviews. I took a chance and glad that I did, I got the Pad Se Ew with no egg. It had great flavor, the broccoli was perfectly cooked and the chicken was nice and tender. Service was okay but my food did come out very quick. The inside was very clean and they had an upstairs/downstairs seating area. Lighting and decor was also very subtle. Definitely recommend if you are looking for a good Thai Restaurant

One of my friends had this place a couple of years back and wanted me and our other friends to try this place and I am so glad we did! Food: 10/10! We did family style, but what stuck out to me most was the Pad See Ew. We ordered it twice because it was so amazing and delicious! It was so flavorful and just the best! Service: 10/10. Waiters were very attentive and kind! Ambiance: 10/10, looked very cool inside! Would love to come back here and bring my other friends whenever I am back in Portland!

4.5 stars. One of the best Thai places I've been to in a while!! Due to the location, parking can be difficult to find so you should come prepared for possibly driving around a bit for a spot. We came here on a Sun afternoon around 3 pm and got seated immediately. It is a bit cramped so you should also expect to sit pretty close to other parties. Our server was prompt and very nice! We ordered the veggie massaman, chicken massaman, chicken panang, the Ba-Mhee with Cashew, Chili jam Stir-Fry with ground chicken, the crispy trout and the veggie crispy rolls. Everything we had was simply amazing! Our top choice was the panang curry because of the flurry of flavors it had in spite of sticking to the original panang curry interpretation. The Ba-Mhee was delicious but not as spicy as I would've liked. The massaman curry was also excellent but a little on the sweeter side. The trout was wonderful, and elevated by the sauces they provided. The rolls were a teeny bit too oily but otherwise delicious. If you love spicy food, you can go for their hottest level. The server told us that their flavor profiles were spicier than other Thai restaurants but after tasting the food, I think they are equivalent to what I've had spice level wise. Price wise, they are equivalent to what I have seen in the downtown areas of major cities. Their portions are definitely good enough for two meals. All in all, this was a good experience and I shall be back!

This place is busy, be prepared to wait. It's worth it. Fair prices and fantastic food. Highly recommend this place. We tried: Salad roll - great peanut sauce. Pork shoulder pineapple dish. Pork melted in our mouthes. Green curry with beef: very rich and flavourful. Fairly big in size. Beef was so so tender. Spicy Basil noodles (don't recall the name). This was out favourite dish. Again, beef was amazing. Service and drinks were great!

Thai Peacock unquestionably stands out as a gem in the city's vibrant dining scene. Parking: meter parking The restaurant was enveloped with an intimate atmosphere that marries modern ale house sophistication and traditional Thai charm. I love the pad Thai here and locals expressed their love for the fried trout (which I anticipate to try on my next visit!). The menu boasts a tantalizing array of authentic Thai dishes. As well as fancy cocktail and non-alcoholic drinks. I was able to try a Thai lime Tea for the first time. And I was obsessed after my first drink. It's basically a Thai tea without the cream and spritz with a lime flavor instead. One aspect that truly sets Thai Peacock apart (for me at least) was the candy they brought out with the check. I could not overlook the familiar flavor, yet I realized I forgot about this particular childhood candy. In respite after this discovery, my fiancé had bought an entire bag to surprise me later. Before leaving I playfully asked for a couple more and our host gladly treated me to some more. I was dazzled by the end of the evening. When I can't make it downtown, the to go orders are plenty and they are both satisfying as well. Give them a try!

This is some of the best Thai food!!! The service is fine- and the space is okay as well, but the food is seriously SO good! I've had the pad Thai, pad sew, the summer rolls, and the garlic shrimp with fried rice. Everything I have tried tasted delicious! I keep going back!

My friend and I were craving Thai food for dinner and this spot definitely satisfied it! We both ordered pad Thai and shared an order of the crab cream cheese wontons. I also got a Thai milk tea. The pad Thai was delicious! The right amount of sauce and a generous portion with the shrimp. The addition of the crab cream cheese wontons and Thai milk tea made it a comforting meal. The service was good and the food came out fast. The restaurant has a nice ambiance and can tell it fills up pretty quickly. I would love to come here again to try their other dishes and even their Thai-inspired cocktails!

1 star for reasonable price, on the lowest end for Thai's food. 1 star for innovative twist on classic dishes. The server was indifferent, not bad, just not attentive nor caring at all. They brought us two desserts at the same time with our main dishes without asking us for our preference. The place was busy around 2pm with casual vibes so that was good for their business and for this part of town. Our lunch total was $91 and I was still hungry when we left. I was not impressed at all with any of our order. Overall, all dishes lack flavors and not worth describing in details. Look at our receipt and don't order the same thing we did. Spice level was all 3/5 for us. This was the first Thai's place using spinach as a bed for the papaya salad instead of typical lettuce. The Jungle Curry with Egg Noodle was in interesting twist, not a soup nor stir fried, just as a sauce over the egg noodle. I applaud their innovation attempt on classic Thai's dishes! The crispy trout for appetizer was an intriguing touch as well. The Thai's ice coffee was alright, not thing special to Yelp about. All meters street parking between 2-5 hours. There is a small public parking right round the corner of the restaurant.

can always count on thai peacock for comforting thai food. usually able to get a seat right away, but you'll need to add your name to the list if it's busier. the curry(s), pad see ew, and salad rolls are made to perfection. the food comes out fresh/hot. it's nice to have a vegan options here! the food may be shared family style. more options mean more chances to try all the dishes! restaurant is a casual comforting vibe with 3 different spaces for seating.

The place is adorable with some cool artwork. The food was great and the service was fast.

Was looking for a Thai food place that was open during this snowy weather and were pleasantly surprised to stumble upon this place. Parking is available on the street and there are also some paid public parking across the street. The restaurant itself has two maybe three(?) dining area. It's very quaint yet spacious and modern. We tried the appetizer combo, tom kha soup, and pad Thai. All of the food came out super quick and they all tasted very fresh and delicious! Our server was also very attentive and checked on us often.

Amazing, got the pad Thai and wontons delivered while sick, and it made my whole day. The packaging, the quality! Thank you

I honestly do not remember the name of what I got but essentially it was a seafood panang curry. The meal was incredible. I would definitely go back to try more. The menu was pretty big with a lot of options. My friends order got messed up and they were very quick to fix it, so great service. The inside dining area is nice with booth and seats. You have to walk through the kitchen to get there pretty much. This is definitely worth a stop.

Been craving Thai and knew I had to find a great Thai spot in Portland while visiting. With such a great reviews I knew we had to come by to try it out and we were not disappointed. We tried the Thai tea and Thai summer breeze- both delicious, but the Thai tea could've been creamery, it was more on the watery side. Also ordered the crab rangoons, pad see ew, and khao soi. I don't go to any Thai spots without trying their khao soi and it was fantastic. Our server was great, the interior is dark with twinkling lights and charming, and dinner was perfect. This is one of the best Thai spots I've had and highly recommend!

Finally got a chance to try this on 2g2g and was pleasantly surprised by a cute, cool lil spot nestled downtown. The space has two levels but isn't too huge to still be cozy w diff nooks of seating. I arrived in the eve so place was dim lit dinner vibes. I took home rice and chicken larb. The larb was full of flavor flaaav and I was able to taste the nuances of basil and bell peppers. The rice although white was peppered w another grain that made for a visual delight and diff texture. Pick up was easy and staff friendly. I would def keep this on my list of go to Thai spots and try other dishes.

Amazing! Good pad Thai and my friend got the garlic shrimp and fried rice. All very good, and the service was great. Food came out quick. Nice warm spot to get lunch in the winter

Oh my gosh, I love checking out the local Thai restaurant when I'm traveling and while out wandering in Portland, I stumbled on Thai Peacock. I came in because of the gluten free pad Thai and I made the right decision!! The vibe was super cool and the food was even better! The service was fantastic and I loved the wall art. The pad Thai was so flavorful and came out so fast! Would definitely come back if I lived closer!

3.5 stars if I could. It's a pretty small restaurant and is busy even on a week day. We did get seated quickly for a small party and the service was good. We did family style and the pad ki mao was delicious. Very different with mushrooms and cherry tomatoes but nonetheless the flavor was there. The Larb was decent as well. Two cocktails not pictured, the mango sticky rice and thai summer breeze were alright. Definitely different having the mango sticky rice as a cocktail, heavy on the coconut milk made it too creamy as a drink.

This place is always busy but worth it. You sign yourself in on a tablet when they're busy and get a text when your table is ready. Ordered the pad see ew and it did not disappoint. It was filled with flavor and not overly sweet. Added chili oil to make it spicy and it elevated the dish. Ambiance is very calm and the lighting is warm. They have upstairs seating as well. Highly recommend.

Unfamiliar with the food scene, my companion and I found ourselves stumped about what's well known to Portland. Thai food is something we both come to be fond of, so it felt like the right call for our meal. He found Thai Peacock for us and with its central downtown location, diverse menu, and affordability we chose to go here. Upon arrival, we were met with a short wait. If the restaurant is busy you can put your name down on the iPad. Luckily for us, we came on a weekday for lunch and were seated shortly. The ambiance is casually cozy, it's a popular and stylish spot for all ages, and tables are spaced out but still close together--spanning over two floors! We found service to be friendly and not overbearing but a little on the slower end. The restaurant stays busy cooking and clearing space out. Thai Peacock boasts itself on PNW flavors with traditional Thai comfort food making it a fusion forward take. Along with appetizers, curries, noodles, stir-fries, and rice dishes, they have phenomenal specialties. What caught our attention was the Pad Thai and Crispy Trout--we've never seen combinations like this offered before and had to try it. Along with that, we shared Tofu Salad Rolls. The salad rolls came out first and tasted refreshing, filled with fresh tofu and veggies, and served with a warm creamy peanut sauce. The Pad Thai and Crispy Trout were extremely tasty and filling; with the giant portion, we're glad we shared! The fish was crispy and flaky while being mild in flavor. A creamy sauce was on top with a sour sauce on the side that helped balance the dish. The Pad Thai was on the sweeter end with a hint of smokiness. If you're looking for a pleasurable Thai cuisine experience in Portland, check out Thai Peacock! We felt satisfied throughout our entire experience by the palatable and inexpensive dishes and pleasurable atmosphere. Parking is limited to the street or garage since it's located off of SW 9th Ave in Downtown. I'd recommend this spot for tourists and locals alike!

Came in right before 12 on Sunday and it was empty but as we were eatting it started filling up quick. Got the pad se ew and house curry with egg noodle. Both were great dishes! The food is fairly priced. I would definitely recommend this place!

- we ubered here it didn't look like there was a convenient parking lot nearby - restroom available - upstairs and downstairs seating - there was a 15min wait for us (Saturday night) - very busy inside - staff was quick and efficient - some of the best Thai food I've ever had 1. Larb (4.5/5) - has a spicy kick - was packed with flavor, great appetizer to share 2. Pad Thai (5/5) - really can't go wrong with this dish, it was perfectly sweet and savory 3. Crispy trout (5/5) - indeed very crispy - so flavorful, sweet chili sauce pairs perfectly with it 4. Kaeng panang curry (5/5) - again packed with flavor, this with the rice was heavenly - has a spicy kick, comes with rice (love the texture of the rice) - so rich and creamy

Amazing service, wonderful authentic flavorful Thai food!!!! The restaurant is so nice and clean. Definitely a vibe for dinner dates. They have house special drinks that are so good- like the mango sticky rice cocktail and their non alcoholic drink lychee hibiscus tea is so great! Their combo platter appetizer is a must. You get to try a little bit of everything - but I must say their coconut shrimp is a must!!! I had their garlic fried rice and larb and my fiancé had their pad see ew and we also ordered their Tom yum soup... let me tell you, EVERYTHING WE ORDERED WAS SOOOOO FLAVORFUL!!! Their pad see ew had a charred taste and packed with flavor. Tom yum soup was perfect combo of spicy and sour. Garlic fried rice and larb is definitely *chefs kiss* One of my fav Thai place I've visited in Portland!

Safety issues They store their beer in the restroom next to the toilet seat. When I asked the staff about it, they didn't feel like there was anything wrong with that.

Love going to Thai restaurants which has something different to offer. Thai peacock is one such place. Nice , busy place in downtown area. They have multiple dine in space inside though looks bit small from outside. Most of the food we had were great. Fried trout, burnt garlic fried rice, pad Thai/se eu (both) and pineapple braised pork were all delicious. Crab cheese rangoons weren't crispy. Chicken Gyoza was good. I like Thai iced tea here compared to other places. This is definitely a good place to go again and recommended. Wait time can be high as prior reservation cannot be done. You can join waitlist once you get to restaurant

Amazing food, service, and ambiance! Well riced for the quality and quantity of food. 10/10 recommend short walk from a bunch of hotels downtown cute to meet with friends or a date.

Love a good tom kha soup! I'm used to thai restaurants offering tom kha soup in a smaller 12-16 oz size so imagine my surprise when this huge bowl the size of my head came to the table. It hit the spot on a chilly windy day :)

I have one word: wow! For a place that we chose only because it was nearby and we were in the mood for Thai, this restaurant very much exceeded our expectations. Since pad see ew is my favorite thai dish, I can be very particularly about it. So I was pleased that Thai Peacock has both the rich savory sauce and the chewy noodles of a high quality pad see ew. Full disclosure: i was on the fence between 4 and 5, because I did think the vegetables in this dish could have been a bit softer. Ultimately, I chose 5 stars because I still loved this dish as well as the other things I tried. My friend ordered the garlic fried rice with pork. I took one bite and was in love. What I think separated this fried rice from others is its complex flavor profile. And of course, we both enjoyed lychee iced teas to drink. I thought they were a nice touch; a sweet treat, but not too sugary. Our waitress was was great! Wonderful decor. Definitely a solid option in downtown Portland.

I place an order to go while I was at work when I receive my food the Sprite that I ordered was warm, no utensils. The rice was overcooked, greasy and salty. There was a half a scoop of the garlic pork, barely any vegetables! I'm very disappointed! I tried to leave a review on DoorDash and take a picture of my food, but it didn't go through! I guess it's time for me to move on and find another Thai spot. And this is not the first time that I was disappointed with their food.
