Full evidence log
Every line, as the restaurant states it.
- Service
- Current official home and reservations pages state dinner Wednesday through Sunday with two seatings; price and reservation-platform details conflict across official pages.
- Menu
- Official July-August Thai Festivals tasting menu is published. The site states no substitutions, lists common allergens, and requires advance notice for restrictions that may not be accommodated.
- Occasion fit
- Destination dinner; serious tasting-menu experience; anniversary; adventurous date; food-focused visit to Portland.
- Hours
- Dinner is offered Wednesday through Sunday in two coordinated seatings each evening. Published times are 5 PM and 7:45 PM Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday, and 5:30 PM and 8:15 PM Friday and Saturday.
- Reservations
- Reservations are released one month at a time at noon on the 15th for the following month. Reservations require confirmation at least two days before the meal, and late cancellations or party-size reductions can be charged the full menu price.
- Price
- The current official reservations and FAQ pages publish a tasting-menu price of $145 per person, with optional wine and nonalcoholic pairings and a 20% automatic gratuity. Older first-party pages still contain conflicting lower prices and booking-platform language.
- Dietary
- At least two days notice is required for restrictions. The current FAQ states that vegan, vegetarian, fish-free, coconut-free, capsaicin-free, and allium-free requests cannot be accommodated. The menu states that many dishes contain seafood, fermented fish, nuts, cilantro, and other ingredients even when not listed.
- Beverage
- Curated wine pairing and nonalcoholic pairing are published, along with a separate wine list and corkage policy.
- Groups & private
- Intimate 24-seat tasting room best suited to small, fixed-size parties. Party-size changes can invalidate a reservation because of the tightly planned seating model.
- Atmosphere
- Intimate, highly choreographed Thai tasting-menu experience inspired by the convivial feeling of a Thai home kitchen and built around Pacific Northwest ingredients.
- Accessibility
- Detailed physical-access route and restroom information were not stated in the reviewed first-party pages.
- Parking & transit
- The restaurant warns that neighborhood parking can be limited and recommends allowing an additional 10 to 15 minutes. Ride-share users should verify the current northwest Portland address.
- Dress
- No formal dress code was stated on the reviewed first-party pages.
- Typical meal length
- Plan for a fixed-seating multi-course experience rather than a flexible drop-in meal.
- Practical notes
- Confirm the current price, booking platform, dietary feasibility, party size, and cancellation terms before booking. The official site still contains conflicting historical details on some pages.
- Address
- 1818 NW 23rd Place, Portland, OR 97210
