Wild Tiger

This place is closing down and Indian food is coming soon in its stead.
Welcomed as PDX has a plethora of good thai (Wild Tiger not being one of them).
Tom Yum was the only thing I ever liked the taste of going down from the Wild Tiger menu, unfortunately, it made me sick the next day.

Stopped here on the way to the Hollywood. One server working hard with the dinner rush. Ordered pot stickers and salad rolls, along with pumpkin curry and pad Khee Mao. The appetizers were meh. Not bad, but not good either. Entrees were tasty. A little pricy as well, but such is dinner these days.

Since I found myself in the middle of a Police Action at BofA Hollywood which resulted in my car being blocked in the parking lot, I decided to grab lunch. I should have whipped out Unilocal mobile before sitting down at Wild Tiger. Bad Unilocaler!
Empty restaurant at 11:30 on a Payday Friday in a good location is a bad sign. Service was fine although I had to ask for water. I ordered the Yellow Curry and it took about 10min to arrive.
Bland, small, watery, overpriced, almost no Protein on the plate. This food should be in the food court at Lloyd Center, no where else. Yellow curry is NOT difficult to get right in consistency and flavor. When it is watery I know they are cutting corners due to food costs and it pisses me off. At $ 8.75 for the lunch price I expect way more from Thai food.
The Police should have surrounded this place instead.
No way Baby!

Been aware of this restaurant since it replaced the alleviated Rock and Roll Dinner. I have a good friend who grew up in Laos, so I was especially intrigues by the Laotian options.
I live a couple of blocks away and was with neighbors. They’d been to Killer Burger for Lunch so that was out, so we decided upon Wild Tiger.
I need to point out that we got in about eight-​thirty. We were seated in the empty dining room quickly, and the host/​server was prompt, helpful and professional.
All seemed to be going swimmingly, the food being pretty good, and the gentlemen serving us pointing out a Laotian option that we ordered. We had apps then dinner and drinks.
While we enjoyed the appetizers, the gentleman started to douse the neon lights in the windows (Ten till nine).
We asked if all was OK, he said that there was no problem at all he just didn’t want more people coming in. This is when we realized that we’d arrived too late. To their credit, food was coursed nicely, and our server didn’t loom. But about two-​thirds of the way throughout entrees, another employee sat down about 10 feel behind me, twirling his keys loudly.
It didn’t register for me for about six minutes.
We finally asked for boxes and left.
Food, pretty good. Service, pretty good. Prices, commensurate. Other Factors? They dictate I won’t be back.
There are places where it’s OK to pressure people out due to timing (pubs, etc), but this ain’t it.
Sorry, will not return, Cha-​Ba Thai is is.

Not too shabby! The food is good and the service is great. The place has an upscale look without being overly pricey. And it’s just a few blocks down from the Hollywood theatre. I wouldn’t go out of my way to eat here but when I’m back in the area I will probably stop by again.

We went when they were brand new, and weren’t enamored enough to ever go back. Maybe we should try it again, but one of the dishes we had was so dreadful (pad Thai) that it’s hard to muster up the courage to go back. My husband’s pumpkin curry, however, was outstanding enough that we’ve learned to make it at home.

First a story.
So I wandered into Wild tiger after receiving good news on the jobfront and was looking to celebrate with a delicious pile of Thai food. On the outside of the building was a sign advertising the «Daily Dinner Special» which was Pad Khee Mao (one of my favorites) at a significantly reduced price. It was 3:00 pm and I wasn’t sure if that qualified me for the lunch special rate (cheaper than the daily dinner special rate) or not, but either way it was reduced from the over 10 dollars on the standard menu. Okay, so I am going to get my food to go and the man who takes my order is on the phone the whole time. He took my order quickly, rang me up and I handed over a twenty, pleasantly dreaming about other things as I didn’t want to disturb his phone conversation. He rings me up at the original menu price (10.50 I think?) and by the time I check my change he has wandered to the farthest possible place from me to continue his phone call. Now I probably should have brought it to his attention, but I didn’t want to have to deal with that nonsense at the time. the food was ready quickly and I thought for a minute about asking if I could get some money back because it was the «daily dinner special,» but he was still on the phone and not after practically flinging the bag at me he disappeared into the kitchen. F$%^ it, I am going to go home and eat.
This is three star food, with ample portions well flavored and spiced. I am outraged that places charge different amounts at dinner and lunch for the same friggin food. This is not okay and needs to be stopped and I am docking a star for that. Also this place has quite high prices for Thai food, although I guess they also serve Laotian food, but that looked to be even more outrageously overpriced. I will not be returning.

You’re in Hollywood. You want Thai. You’re kinda SOL. The nearest entries in this normally ubiquitous category are over on Broadway. But there’s Wild Tiger, which is Laotian and Thai.
The menu doesn’t clearly illustrate to ignomunt roundeyes like myself which is which. So Brandon and I got something familiar (yellow curry) and something not (I think it was called Crying Tiger). We specifically asked that neither be spicy.
The yellow curry was okay. Not as good as Red Onion, but tasty.
The Crying Tiger (if that is it’s real name) was three thin slices of really good top sirloin with a little bowl of really freaking spicy sauce. Fortunately the steak was good enough to be eaten solo. I’m not sure it was worth eleven bucks. Not without a starch and veggies (the bed of shredded cabbage didn’t count as either). The yellow curry was also a bit much at (IIRC) $ 9.50.
The service was friendly and the food came out fast, possibly because the place was empty. Except maybe the lounge. I saw a few people walk into there. WT definitely falls into «if you’re in the area…»

Went here after a long day touring stores, as it was convenient to the comics shop.
The atmosphere is a little on the basic side, but the service was fast and friendly. We ordered spring rolls and fried wonton for appetizers; my collegue ordered pad see yu and I ordered a spicy chicken fried rice dish. We both asked for 4 stars on the heat, and the server warned us that they bring the heat.
The spring rolls were serviceable, but the fried wonton was perfect! Crispy, light, and just the right amount of cream cheese. Absolutely delicious!
My main dish, the pad see yu really did bring the heat, and was quite tasty. I’d definitely consider going here again when I’m down in the area!

I think these guys are under new ownership or something. They just had their grand opening on Friday the 13^th.
The COOL:
*Happy Hour*
$ 2.50 well drinks
$ 2.5 micro beers on tap
$ 3 appetizers
*Karaōke – coming soon!
*wi-​fi (YES!)
*HUGE – you can totally rent out a space for a private event
The UN-​COOL:
*Not many vegan options

Had the place almost to ourselves. The appetizers were fried and good. The food was far from the best I’ve ever had but it was tasty and we both cleaned our plates. Good mixed drinks.

Awesome! Another east side Thai joint! Apparently, this is an extension of an existing local mini-​chain based in the ‘couv (3 locations). Being a professional, I will not allow that to affect my review.
Well, this one is perhaps a bit more upscale than a lot of the ones you’ll find. Not expensive, but a little bit more on average. I just stopped by for lunch with the lady, so it wasn’t a date extravaganza. We shared the panang with chicken and pad khee mao. The panang was delicious, a bit richer and thoughtful than many thai joints. It had a nice deep curry flavor. The drunky noodles were fine, the noodles themselves weren’t anything special, but I really liked the tofu, it was lightly caramelized with nice body and flavor.
Portions were decent, maybe a little on the small side. Service was friendly, but the place was empty on an early weekday lunch.
Once they get through the OLCC process, this could be a good spot for a casual date.

Very disappointing! We had panang curry, mixed vegetables and the Wild Tiger appetizer plate. I have never seen fried tofu with a fossilized texture. We broke it in half but were afraid to eat it. They had pre-​made fried food and re-​heated it in the oven. Styrofoam containers, the guy offered to show me photos of the food to help decide (not a good sign). They did not make any comments about the spice levels of the food. (bland bland bland)
I thought it would be nice to try a new local restaurant. I tried it and will not go back. I LOVE Sweet Basil on NE Broadway. Their food is excellent!

Sandy is the last street that needs another Thai restaurant. Regardless, this place was good. After getting off the Cha Ba Thai bandwagon this place will be a solid replacement when I get the urge to get my Thai on. They were dreadfully slow when I went in there so it might not be around for a while but if you want some pretty solid Thai food, you should give them a shot.
