"I was pleasantly surprised with a few Thai places I had in portland, but kinara many dishes tasted completely different and missing aromen and flavored. with all the Rave reviews, I was caught by the watch of the Bland dishes that had only one taste. sugar. taste completely different from all places I had on my many culinary trips to Thailand. also the bad, very western Thai restaurants here have more taste directions and complexity than the dishes of kinara. I had a great food in Thailand and also had many good and bad Thai foods all over the world. but the three best Thai dishes I've ever had were from kinara this evening. Incredible dishes:-grounded noodles: the noodles were cooked too long, making the entire dish extremely soggy and disgusting. I don't remember the last time I had nuds with this bad texture and overcooked! had very moderate taste.-Pong ga ree prawns: much too sweet. that is all they can taste in this dish.- Green chicken curry: another dish, that was too sweet. another dish that all they could taste was an overkilling of the sweet. Mediocre dishes:-green Papaya salad: nothing to write home. it needed more acid. at least this court was edible. -Lettuce wrap larb: the taste and the spice of the ground huh was good and quite authentic. However, the ground chicken was so dry that it made this dish quite bad. if they cooked the ground huh, this dish would have been great. good dishes:-Nom jean pla: this was the only dish that they cook an authentic work and had various aromes and flavors similar to taste that they would find in a restaurant in Thailand. I had to pour this sauce into other dishes to save these dishes."

"I work for a nearby restaurant, so for our lunch break myself, our managers, and several other employees got a rather large online to-go order costing about $67 on 5/30. One of the managers had put it on her debit card. Prior to ordering, we had checked to confirm it was open as well as the city center plaza was open and it was. Once I arrived to pick up the food it was all closed up and no signs posted, yet the website listed open and the online ordering was up and running and had already processed the payment. So $67 and no food. We called the local restaurant just to see if anyone would pick up and obviously no one did. So we immediately called the corporate number and they took down all her information, but had advised her to call the store on the following business day since they are unable to process a refund there. Today (6/1) rolls around she calls the store to be greeted by a bratty teenage girl and an even worse manager who told the girl to tell her that he was not in yet and that it was not possible to process a refund or to temporarily shut down online ordering, but she could make the food for us now. We work at restaurant, we know damn well that is a lie. 4 calls later and still nothing. I highly recommend never placing an online order because this business isn’t ever open according to their hours but will gladly accept your order and payment when no one is even there."
