These are some of the restaurants I liked when I lived in Portland, 2001-2006.

Mai Thai (1126 SW 18th Ave.)

Excellent Thai food, close to where I live.

Thanh Long Restaurant & Bakery (SW College St & SW Broadway)

A nice Vietnamese restaurant near PSU

E-San Thai Cuisine (SW 2nd & Pine)

Very good panang curry.

Thai Elephant

Excellent Thai food, close to OGI.

Typhoon! (2310 NW Everett Street), (also Typhoon! on Broadway (400 SW Broadway)

My favorites are Pineapple curry chicken and Death by Asparagus. Their Panang Curry is also good, but not exactly the same as at Thai Garden. I also like their Thai Iced Tea.

Tara Thai (1310 NW 23rd Ave)

My current favorite is 28A: James Bond Island Fried Rice, with chicken. Thai Iced Tea.

The menu varies, but my favorite are Fettucine with smoked salmon and some creamy sauce, and the Northwest seafood saute with salmon, halibut, mushrooms and fresh berries (blueberries or raspberries).

Elmer's Pancake & Steak House (3455 SW Cedar Hills Blvd, Beaverton)

Their Mountain Berry Pancakes are delicious.

India House (1038 SW Morrison)

You have to eat with your fingers, but the food is very good!
