After the closing of my favorite all-time Thai restaurant Thai Villa closed in Lake Oswego last year, I've been in search of something comparable in Portland. Besides Tiger Becs in Dublin Ireland, I have yet to find it. I chose Thai Village Restaurant in Wilsonville after seeing 4-5 star ratings on the quality of its food on google. This was terribly disappointing. Started with taking several minutes before anyone showed up at the front to seat me. Then I was seated at a dirty table which a waitress sprayed with Windex and wiped off while I was sitting there. Bad move. Chemical and appetite do not go together and yet I've been to several restaurants who do this. Anyway,it took another 10 minutes before a server came to the table. Received an enormous glass full of about a 1/3 cup of wine. Nowhere close to a $3.00 value. Started with salad rolls. Bean sprouts lacked crunch and the rice wrapper was too chewey. Both signs that it had not been made fresh. Accompanying peanut sauce was not very flavorful and the chilis I ordered also had no freshness or savory flavor to them as well. For dinner I ordered my favorite larb salad. This also a disappointment. Garnishes were lacking the bright fresh color and luster. The cabbage was wilted and much of the lettuce was wilted as well. Ambiance is not friendly. Ceiling is a dark blue, walls with old dark paneled woood with burnt rust orange colored borders at the front of the restaurant. I won't return and was disappointed that local palettes are so green that they would rate this restaurant's food at a 4 or a 5. No where close to the $17.00 value and gas it cost to get there. I give it a 2-. Jasmine Eudora
Pros: The servers were actually friendly
Cons: Overall really poor quality food
