Thai Vendor

Thai Vendor is small, unassuming, and shares a tiny parking lot with a plaid pantry but their food is very good. So far I've tried probably 7 different dishes and all of them were excellent. This place is perfect.

In a city full of Thai restaurants, somehow this place really stands out for quality and freshness. It’s a very nondescript little place that you would not normally notice. I’ve been here five or six times over the last couple of weeks while visiting someone in OHSU hospital, and each time, I was blown away at how unusually good the dishes were. I had curries, noodles, soups, stir-fries, etc. and they were all done perfectly. I haven’t had any disappointments. Highly recommend.

One of the best Thai restaurants I’ve ever been to. Eaten at hundreds of Thai restaurants all over, many in Thai Town in Los Angeles. This place is fantastic. Love the pumpkin curry. I’ve eaten at a dozen or so in the Portland area, and this is the best one I’ve found so far.

Honest review. I tried this Thai restaurant for the first time not too long ago, and I LOVE IT. I loved the options, not too overwhelming the amount of options like other restaurants. I also loved the staff, super nice and friendly. THE biggest two reasons why I love this location and would highly recommend it are vibes and price. This place is still small and low-key vibes because most other people go to the trendier and well positioned locations but this location is just what I want, simple and great food and service. THE PRICE is unbelievable, super reasonable dare I say on the low end and it's even lower for lunch orders! I will for sure be returning to this location for all the reasons I have listed above and I would HIGHLY recommend this amazing little location. If you have not tried Thai food before, a good dish to start you off is the Punang Curry, stir frys, or the fried rice dishes with your choice of meat added to them. My friends have tried their chicken fried rice, curries, and noodles and they have all loved their dishes, so really I think you will get fantastic quality, portions and friendly service. Please do yourself a favor and try this place.
For reference on prices, my typical dishes at other restaurants cost about $17-$21, here it was $12.50 during the lunch menu.
Small family owned restaurant, very friendly.
You can order online or via phone.

Excellent lunch! I had the orange chicken. The chicken was just slightly crispy on the outside, but moist and tender on the inside. It was also very nicely sauced. The vegetables it was served on were done, in my opinion, to perfection. They were neither too soft nor too crisp. The rice served as a side, was just the way I like it neither too sticky, nor too fluffy. Service was fast and friendly.

Impressive menu and everything I've had so far has been fresh, bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. I typically get a level 4 spice, perfect for flavor and heat. The Tom kha is loaded with veggies, mushrooms, protein and broth...a great balance with no skimping! The papaya salad is bright and delicious, and the cashew chicken is perfect. Definitely a repeat restaurant on the list.

Wonderful! This is the second time I’ve ordered from them and they did not disappoint. They are so friendly, the food is to die for, and they are close to where I live. Couldn’t get any better. I ordered the Tasty Chicken (add pork belly 🤤) and it did NOT disappoint. The Thai iced tea was spicy and sweet. 10/10 ❤️
