Spent a few weeks in Thailand this summer (mostly Bangkok). I've been touring all the Thai restaurants in town to scratch the itch of authentic Thai flavor bomb cuisine. Some have come close, but all seem to fall a little short. Tin House is the first I've come across that is *LEGIT*. The young man that served me was very friendly. Recommended the papaya salad.

I was born in Thailand and grew up eating Thai food. Now that I am in Eugene Oregon I don’t miss a thing. Get their food and enjoy! The prices are worth it for a trip. I’m a linemen so it takes 2 dishes for me ~32 bucks. If you are a casual dinner (not someone who requires 4000 - 10000 calories a day) walk in with 15 bucks and leave with the taste of the best Thai food in the city. I recommend the soups especially.

One of the best Thai spots I’ve had anywhere in the world. They do the classics incredibly well. Yellow curry and Pad Thai. Perfection. The fried rice with breaded crispy chicken was fabulous. Everything was served very fresh. Even the water and ice was delicious. The server was great and very friendly and chill. We have some good spots in Los Angeles but this was more my style!

Delicious, generous portions, great service, and locally owned. Previously had Pad Kra Pow in Japan and it was just as memorable as this Satay Chicken and Yellow Curry was flavorful and made by a nice hardworking aunty - would recommend!

I got recommended the drunken noodles and am so impressed. The chicken is tender and flavorful, the spice levels are accurate (I ordered medium and it was actually medium! ), and the noodles are thick and also super flavorful! Will be back!
