Langbaan Portland Reviews
We had a great time at Langbaan when we visited last spring.
We sat at the counter, which was fun because we got to see the chefs prep everything. The food and service was excellent as well. I also thought that price was reasonable for a tasting menu. Of course, it's not somewhere I'm going to go eve
It's been too may years since we've had a chance to try
It's been too may years since we've had a chance to try Earl's magic again. Not living anymore in Portland makes it even more challenging and of course after getting the shout out from James Beard next to impossible. Lady Luck shin
Beautiful, artful, amazing dishes.
In the TV series quantum Leap, there's a quote that says dining is the only art that uses all five senses. Things are beautiful. The dishes came with stories depending on who served it. I wanted the two add-ons because I liked those foods th
Dined here on a recent trip to Portland.
I was particularly interested in it given its 2024 James Beard award for outstanding restaurant. I have to say, it was good - but not outstanding. Sat at the bar on a Saturday night with my wife and the bartenders were our servers. Despite their j
Best Thai food outside of Bangkok.
Do not miss if you love food, the best is they have Thai liquor and the pairing is unique and phenomenal

Langbaan describes dining here as an experience & I have to agree. From the ambience, the service, the menu, & the attention to every little detail over the course of a 2 hour tasting menu experience is the best way to describe having a meal

i liked the scenery, the dim lights, the serves were very kind! the food however was a bit off, i can't understand plating is nice but i just think the food needs a couple tweaks.
Dining at Langbaan is a journey over a destination.
The food experience is truly a ride for the senses that is delivered with careful precision, along with gentle and generous knowledge of course and pairings from an expert wait staff. It feels friendly and inviting and never ever disappoints!
What a wonderful experience.
The tasting menu was well thought out and balanced, full of creativity and flavors. My favorites were the main course: king salmon (gang prer), crawfish relish (taew goong), eggplant (yum makhua phao) with coconut rice (khao mhoa). Also the scallop w

This was a special occasion dinner for us, and for me in particular I am new to tasting menus. Langbaan changes its menu and region of Thailand multiple times a year, totaling at 6 different menus in a year. The atmosphere is intimate, quiet, and bea
This is such a special meal.
The flavors were intense, deep, interesting, and balanced. The presentation of the dishes was whimsical. But what really made this experience unique and something I would definitely do again is the way the staff described each dish, and the truly a

It was a bit disappointing that for the amount of money you pay, the space is really tight since it's shared with Phuket Cafe, so it's not exactly a place to have intimate conversations. Ambiance was great but there's just not much elb

Welp, I was expecting more for "the best restaurant in America." LOVED the starters (shrimp, scallop, mussel) Went down hill after that. And the food came out SOOO painfully slowly (45 min between courses). The entree was 2 shrimp and 2 th

An unbelievable experience with superb food and excellent service. And... we enjoyed many dishes that celebrated their 10 years as well as their well deserved James Beard award for Best Restaurant of the Year.

Would get a 5 stars but automatically adding 20% gratuity then asking for more says they don't trust the diners. I never add extra money when there is an autograt. Otherwise 30% is my standard... I think autograts are RUDE.
Amazing combination of flavors.
A visual and gastronomic delight. Prix fixe menu of 12 items with multiple appetizers to desserts.

The staff was super friendly and accommodating! They were well versed with painting the story of their menu and wine pairings. The ambiance was dimly lit with a nice intimate feel. The food was absolutely incredible! The amount of flavor put together

I went to Phuket Cafe and which is the outside area in front of Langbaan with my teenage daughter on Saturday, April 13 around 6 PM. I know they would be busy but thought we'd try anyway. We saw some open tables outside so I thought we'd go inside to

5 stars A special tasting menu at select times inside Phucket Cafe. Inspired by Issan Let me start by saying everything on the menu was good but the main dishes didn't really agree with my palate so for the price I'll take Phucket Cafe. The appeti

Langban was pretty good and the service was very friendly and down to earth. Me and my partner did the tasting menu and I thought that Kanom Krok with the scallops was easily the best dish of the night. It was so flavorful and creamy that I regretted

Well I've waited a long time to finally eat at Langbaan and it definitely lived up to the hype. The food was fabulous, they change the menu every couple months but you can read about it online at their website. It was too complicated for me to rememb
It's no wonder they just got a James Beard nomination.
The space, service, and food were top notch! From the first course to the last, every bite was a party in your mouth. If I had to choose a favorite it would, without question, be the lamb belly curry! O. M. G. Melt in your mouth. They also run two

I was not a fan, at all.
I will add the caveat of, when it comes to Thai food, I'm no expert, but my favorite dishes are larb, and pad kee mao. I am really not fond of foods that are both sweet and savory, peanut used in a savory context, sesame, fish sauce, and lemongrass.

Food was more on the spicy side even if they tell you upfront it's NOT spicy at all. For the price, I'd rather have some of the appetizers as the main meal rather than the whole 12? Course meal. Halfway thru the meal I stopped eating because it was w
Very original.
The flavor combinations were outstanding especially with the sole main dinner and sides. I'm taking one star away. I know it's cliche to say fancy restaurants have small portions, but it's really true here. If you have a big appetite, don't expect t
Christmas shopping with Katie in PDX for the day.
We have spent time in Thailand, dear reader, so it's fair to say that we know authentic when we taste it. Langbaan promotes, "Thai-style dining experience inspired by century-old traditions." Promotes, okay, but certainly does not deliver.
Came here for a special occasion.
It is a fixed menu. And no modifications and 20% gratuity is added. We arrived right at 8:30pm, we got seated right away at the bar. We did have 2 different servers help and they were both great! Very knowledgeable about each item in the menu and th

We went for the pre-fixed 11 small course tasting menu for $125 per person that they do twice nightly. While the food was quite excellent, although highly likely geared towards the non Asian patron, the space is not at all romantic. The three 2-top t
Connect with users posting reservations for Langbaan Portland
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Langbaan Portland. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Langbaan Portland at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Langbaan Portland page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* EternalAnt36, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* EternalAnt36 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to EternalAnt36 for any questions Peter may have as EternalAnt36 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* EternalAnt36 now uses their connections at Langbaan Portland to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If EternalAnt36 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, EternalAnt36 receives the $200 reward which is credited to EternalAnt36's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Langbaan Portland!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
