A New Treasure... – A friend and I went to Kinara Thai Bistro the other night and had an enjoyable time. The restaurant appears to have been remodeled recently, since everything looked new. And it's very CLEAN! We went early, which we always do when dining out, and I would recommend this to anyone planning to dine here. It's a smaller place, probably not well suited for parties of more than, say, 10 people. (Tip: If you want a quiet, romantic dinner for 2, get there early and ask to be seated in the back room.) But they offe... read more
Exactly how Thai should be! – Mai Thai is exactly what you expect in a great little Thai joint. Good authentic Thai food, fair prices, and a very cozy ambience. The highlight for my girlfriend and I is the service. They are always very kind, polite, helpful, and the food is delivered just ridiculously fast. You rock Mai Thai, tell a friend everyone! *Plus they deliver!
About the confusion – my former review was for Mai Thai, the resturant that was in the same space before it changed to Kinara. THESE RESTAURANTS ARE NOT THE SAME. The cooks and owners are now different. All reviews before August of 07 are in refrence to Mai Thai, and it is not right that they should be listed here. However, in response to Sirisak, I don't believe this was meant to be fraud, there was likely a mix up when it changed hands. That said, KINARA IS A GOOD THAI RESTAURANT, IT'S JUST NOT THE BEST. THE OLD RESTAURANT... read more
Thai Heaven – Great experience. We have eaten here twice and have been surprised each time by the level of sophistication in the menu. Each dish is unique with it's own character and flavor. Friendly and helpful staff that suggest great alternatives to the standard items. Their scallops and spinach in peanut sauce is wonderful and the pork loin is perfect. Good salad rolls and pad thai noodles. Reminds us of Typhoon without the price and crowded scene. Almost forgot, they deliver! You won't be disappointed.
Outstanding! – I recently moved to the Portland area from Vancouver, BC, where we pride ourselves on our Asian food, of which Thai is my favorite, so I'm rather picky. I've tried as many of the Thai restaurants around Portland as I've been able to in search of the best. My quest is completed! This is the best Thai food I've ever had. The previous reviewer's reaction was right on: WOW! The waitress was very friendly, and the food simply cant be beat. I can't recommend this place enough, and I cant wait to go back! Enjoy!
Best Home Cooked Thai Food - WOW! – This is the best Thai Restaurant I have found. All plates are prepared to order - from scratch - and you can really taste the difference. Ask the charming staff for a recommendation! Their selection of specials changes regularly featuring creative home-cooked meals. They have a solid value lunch menu - and their dinner menu really shines. Sizzling scallops with peanut sauce, glass noodles with shrimp and minced chicken, calamari salad, herb fried fish - A very healthy menu - always prepare... read more
Best Thai food ever! – I have eaten at most of the Thai restaurants around Portland and many others around the country, and this is truly the best Thai food I've ever had. I come here regularly since discovering it, I can't get enough! It has a small friendly atmosphere, and the staff is wonderful. I recommend the citrus mango, chu chi fish, and moo ob, and they have a large selection of other outstanding items. You won't be disappointed!
