Trip Advisor reviews were mostly out dated so we were a little hesitant but we tried it anyway. Glad we did!!! Very friendly staff. Excellent food. Had Spicy Noodles & Swimming Rama (veggies, chicken, peanut sauce). Delish. Reasonable prices & plenty of food. Also very clean inside.
On an overnight stay in Pendleton, my husband and I were looking for a Sunday night dinner and happened on Thai Crystal. The place isn’t much to look at from the outside, and was probably either a steakhouse or a barbecue place at one time. But don’t let that hold you back! There are fresh flowers on the tables and a really nice mix of soft or handle jazz is playing from the hope your head speakers. The menu has a wide variety of Thai dishes. We started with crab Rangoon - 6 crispy fried wontons with a really tangy orange sauce. We follow that up with pad Thai, which had a very savory sauce, and exactly the amount of heat that I ordered. It was served with fresh bean sprouts on top, which added a very nice crunch. My only criticism was that the noodles were cooked a little more softly than I prefer… But that didn’t negatively impact the overall dish. If you’re looking for Thai food in Pendleton… This is the place to go!
I use Panang Curry as my “barometer” to compare Thai restaurants and this curry was one of the best I’ve had in a while. Pork was tender. Spiciness level was just right. Coconut ice cream was a great cooling finish!
Very surprising that there is only ONE Mixed Vegetable dish that is vegetarian apart from Avocado Rolls. So nothing much for a vegetarian to eat. When asked if they could make the Basil Fried rice without the oyster sauce, the answer was a firm no, nothing could be changed because they are already made. The water they served was however good. :) We left after sipping the water.
We had asked at our hotel for a dinner recommendation and he recommended Thai Crystal. We weren’t disappointed. The food was ample and delicious. We enjoyed the avocado rolls with peanut sauce first. My husband had the yellow curry and said it one of the best he had ever had. I had the mixed vegetables and really enjoyed it. If we are ever in that area again we would return.
