Typhoon!, Gresham

Be prepared for awesome atmosphere, a wait, and well worth it. Spendy but awesome and simply the best thai food and the appetizers are awesome too! Great service. Reserve if you can.

The food is simply the most wonderfully fresh, diverse, tasty Thai food I've had anywhere ! The miang kum is the perfect start to any meal you choose. It is so incredibly simple, light and fresh, it really makes you impatient to either have more or get right down to you entree selection(s). Fortunately you won't have to wait long. Before you're even close to finishing your appetizer your ffriendly waiter is bringing you sizzling platters of exotic, delectable food. There is a full bar with wonderful selections including great shaken margarita's and lemon drop's. I have also found them to be willing to make custom drinks also. An expansive wine list is also featured. I've never tried much tea beyond the normal realm, as I am not that much of a tea drinker, but Typhoon! has got to have one of the largest most exotic selctions I have seen anywhere. Most importantly, I've found that they have a restaurant out on the west side which makes it even more accessible to me ! ! Now my wonderful lady and I can have the same great food when she is visiting me from Gresham!

Like buffet for thai food? I never knew there was such a thing. The selections were good, the food better. Being a new experience for me (Thai food) I only knew that it was supposed to be hot and they used peanuts in the sauces. WRONG! It is as hot as you want to make it and there were little 'heat' signs above each dish that served as an invite or warning. They also have various oils and ground peppers for the heat lovers. We both enjoyed the food and the atmosphere; we'll be back.
