Thai Fresh Gardens

Hello! This is a local gem. Located in the lower level, you weave your way through a fabulous shopping area with tons of unique finds on your way to this lovely restaurant.

We tend to go in for lunch, and absolutely adore the yellow curry with chicken... But honestly, everything we have tried is wonderful. You can call in for take out too!

Loved this place, went twice on 2 days. Great vegetarian and tofu options. Panang curry was simply the best, of all the amazing dishes we had here!

WHEN AN UNEXPECTED FIND TURNS INTO A PLEASANT SURPRISE.

This review is based solely on my experience and personal opinion.

I went to the Thai Fresh Gardens restaurant on a Thursday Night, 12/2/21, and it was my very first time.

PLACE: That night I was very tired and sleepy but yet I forced myself to go out and find a nice place to eat. I eventually decided to join my friends and go explore La Grande on a very cold night. We parked our car and started walking and while strolling around we spotted the unusual golden elephant statues standing in front of a building entrance. We decided to get in and follow the signs to this Thai Fresh Gardens we had just seen on the entrance glass door. We went down the stairs and all of a sudden it was like we had just stepped into a different world... a world of its own...
a sort of underground world, welcomed by a fountain and a narrow path going all around a elf-like village. on the sides of the path many display windows, many doors and many pretty decoration.
I felt like I was walking around a Christmas village.... such a pleasant feeling.
At some point, along the path, you can see a big open room with a long table and fabric Art frames.... then medieval style windows and then a Caribbean tree with colorful parrots and pretty birds.
We had just found the Thai Fresh Gardens restaurant.....what a pleasant surprise.

FOOD: We ordered Thai Fresh Gardens Fresh rice, Yellow Curry, Crispy Chicken Pad Thai, Thai Vegetable Egg Roll, Broccoli and Meat and Tom Yam Soup.
All of our meals were tasty and well prepared. I loved the fresh ingredients and the combination of sweet and bitter.
I tried each and every of our orders and my favorite was the Thai fresh gardens fried rice, and in second place the Thai Vegetable Egg Roll with Tofu. I did really enjoy them.
Just remember, this is no fast food restaurant, so you have to wait for them too prepare and cook your food, regardless of what you order.

CLEANLINESS: The overall cleanliness was very good and they would come and clean the table as soon as the customers left.

STAFF: The young girl who served us was nice and helpful, friendly I would say. She took photos of us, She explained the Menu for us and did her best to meet our needs. Very customer oriented person. Less friendly and customer oriented was her mother, who, in all truth, could not understand English very well.

PRICES: not as cheap as you would expect from a restaurant in La Grande OR, but it's the only Ethnic food restaurant in town, also portions are big and flavors are there, so, it is worth the money.

CONCLUSIONS: I genuinely enjoyed it and I would definitely go back again. very positive customer experience and a very good vibe.

This is a very good place, extremely clean, fun to look at and the food is amazing. I was passing by from Utah to Beaverton and wanted to eat. I have never that This town has this kind of Thai restaurant. I'm happy I found it. Will comeback when in this area again

If you have to go to La Grande, do yourself a favor and check out the Thai Spring Gardens and Sushi restaurant ... a hidden gem we had a heck of a time finding, but so worth the search. The building it is housed under is of architectural and historical significance with numerous little boutiques, an espresso shop, bakery ... all in all, totally cool experience. Oh, the food? Really, really, really good. The best egg flower soup I've ever had and both my spicy basil chicken and his orange chicken simply to die for. Thumbs and toes, UP. Can't wait to go back.

Fast and delicious! Good portion sizes and great variety in their menu.
It’s in the basement! Unique shopping mall, kind of a maze to find, and worth it!

Do NOT miss out on eating at this restaurant if you're driving through La Grande. Their food is amazing and the service is fantastic.

We had the Tom Kha and their Pad Thai and were very impressed by both the portions and flavor. I frequent Thai restaurants everywhere I go and haven't found a place this good in a long time.

They also have a full vegan menu which is hard to find in such a small town.

Found this place to be friendly and was pleasantly suprised to find this place in a small town. Was looking for a healthy option beside fast food. Owner was super nice and chatted with me while I ordered my food to go. Was nice to know the food was authentic. Place was a little hard for me to find as I was not a local but I did manage to find it. The food was amazing and fresh i would eat here again when i come back. I would recommend this place to anyone traveling through this little town. The staff is friendly. I ordered the chicken curry and fried spring rolls DELICIOUS. Highly recommend. Thank you for the chat...

Best choice for quick lunch, dinner and fast services while you in downtown La grande . It's a bit down underground shops areas. Great place for vegetarian!, and curry lovers

Drove through La Grande on a road trip and was excited to find Thai food! Yummy/big portions 🙏🏼 We'll be stopping by on our way back!

Had the panang curry, it was tasty and spicy, and the gyoza were fresh and crispy. Great food for the price, very cool little underground (literally) place, definitely worth stopping by if you're in town!

Been to Thai Fresh 3 times now and they have delivered each time. I love their curries and have also tried their California rolls. I'm no foodie but I think they have something good going on here.

A lovely place to eat! I love their curry. They also have a peanut sauce entree (I can't recall the name) that's served over veggies that I loved! My husband is super picky when it comes to a sweet and sour sauce, but really enjoyed the one that came with the crab rangoon.

This restaurant is awesome! The food is absolutely amazing and so is the Thai Tea! I love the atmosphere and the employees are always so nice and professional. Food never takes long. I wish I could give more stars ⭐

I think this is the best food in Eastern Oregon. Everything I have tried is superb. My favorites include the Thai Basil Duck, Tom Kha soup, and Crystallized Ginger. I try to time my travel around the times they are open for lunch and dinner. Five and a half stars.

Thai Fresh has the best tasting soup in Eastern Oregon. The Tom Yam has a delicious aroma of lemongrass and herbs and an abundant serving of vegetables. A very generous serving size bowl. Great January special on soups!

I wasn't expecting much when visiting La Grande, OR but wow this place was a highlight of my work trip! I love a good avocado curry and Thai Fresh Gardens has a fantastic one!! Just be careful with spice as mine was a bit too spicy at the level I normally order. If I'm ever back in town I will absolutely be back!

I've been to Thai Fresh Gardens twice to dine in, and have taken out there many times as well. Like other reviewers have said, this place is not easy to find. My advice is to just go down the stairs and walk until you find it, there's signs but they're not the best. In regards to the food, I've enjoyed everything I've had there. As someone who is moderately dairy & gluten intolerant, they have been very accommodating and even list their entrees that are safe for gluten-intolerance (if you're celiac, don't risk it). Their prices are fairly reasonable, and will not be a surprise to anyone who has had Thai food here in the US before. As well, the restaurant itself is very nice inside, if anything a bit dark in regards to lighting. My final warning is to not take their heat ratings lightly, my Dad learned that the hard way! Definitely give it a try, it's great food with great staff.

Seriously go eat here, we are so happy that we stopped here! We absolutely loved everything that we ordered! The food was so well done and we really liked how everything wasn't greasy. We will absolutely eat here again if we're ever in town again. Also, there restaurant is in the coolest little mall, great all around!

This has quickly become one of my favorite restaurants! The pad Thai is amazing. The staff has always been super friendly as well. Highly recommend!
