Lawan’s Thai Garden

We were staying in the area in our RV, when we decided to go have pizza for dinner. We passed by Lawan’s and immediately turned around! We didn’t regret the decision. I ordered the Chicken Pad Thai and my husband ordered the Terryaki with Rice. Both had a very nice presentation. I would rate the Chicken Pad Thai one of the best I have ever eaten! They both were very generous portions, and we brought home leftovers. There was a water feature and a fish tank, with pleasant music playing in the background. We would definitely return the next time we are in the area.

Great service. Kow Soi is delicious as is phở. Actually I haven’t had anything I didn’t like here.

Unusual to find good Thai food in such a small town as Hermiston. Good menu and nicely prepared fresh food. The service is very friendly and helpful with suggestions. The prices are good and the restaurant is clean and well maintained. We would eat here again.

Tasty food. Yellow curry with chicken was good. I liked that they offered brown rice (and several others) as an option instead of just white rice. Wait staff is very courteous. Only complaint is the service and kitchen is slow. Parking is close by with enough capacity to meet their needs.

My husband and I love this place! The food is great and the family that owns and operates this restaurant is amazing! And they know us very well (we might eat here a lot lol). It’s the best Thia food!

Amazing green curry and the best Thai iced tea. Service is great and they get your food ready quick. One of the best restaurant in the area.

Very delicious for the Hermiston area. We always go there when we’re in town.

Coming from the San Francisco area I was very happy to find a good restaurant here. I went to 2 mexican places that were recommended by people that live here and the both were horrible.
Lawan’s was good. I’ll go back before I leave cause I’m doubtful there are any other good spots to eat.

Great food. Friendly service, even my young son loves it and says 5 stars. Tom Kah a favorite and their crying tiger!

Words cannot express how much I have missed having a good Thai place close to home.
My husband and I primarily order take-​out as to not subject restaurant goers to a temperamental 8 month old. They are faster than they state when picking up to-​go, which is a good thing.
Absolutely everything on the menu is fantastic. My personal favorite is a Spring Roll appetizer with an order of Panang Curry with Beef, spice level 4. You cannot go wrong!

Food was good. The service was lackluster. Friendly, but they never were at our table to check on drinks. This is important when eating a spicy meal. The building also left a lot to be desired. The price was decent. Overall, not bad, not great either.

Traveling through Hermiston going from Portland to Spokane, spending the night and looking for a meal. My son decides he wants Thai and I say, ‘really?’ because… well… it’s Hermiston and how good could the Thai food possibly be here? But wow oh wow! Was I pleasantly surprised with everything about this place. The food was tasty, the service friendly, efficient and FAST. Truly this establishment is everything a restaurant should strive to be! And from the other reviews they seem to be consistent. My main lesson: don’t be such a food snob when traveling through small town America.
I ordered the Salt & Pepper Calamari app to start and it was came in lightning speed, I was surprised with the quality of the big, thick pieces (not like the little circular squid curly Qs you get at chain restaurants), paired nicely with cilantro, lettuce and a polite sweet & sour dipping sauce. mmmm. My entrée was the Pad Thai (I figured it was the safest item, when ordering in my ignorance of the deliciousness of this place) and it was sweet and savory with perfectly cooked, al dente noodles. So good! My son ordered the Thai Noodle Soup and he couldn’t get enough of it, bringing the bowl up to his face to drink up every last bit.
I have to mentioned the polite service, our server recognized that she had never seen us before and asked if we were new to town, I told her we were passing thru and she thanked us for the business and invited us to come back next time in the area while flashing the best smile.
I mean… for real, this place was most excellent.

Great Thai food in eastern Oregon especially when you order the cashew nut and chicken stir fried rice, and papaya salad, are always come with great big portion and worth of your money. Also love Thai ice tea… not too sweet, and tasty. .smell so good. .felt like I was going back to Thailand again;)

I absolutely love this place!
The food is delicious, and the service is wonderful! They always treat me like family.
The kow soi and tom yum are always wonderful.
My favorite place in hermiston!

Was one of my favorite places in town until recently. The quality has gone down over the last year. Ever since they started the lunch buffet they have been just reheating buffet food from lunch time. Not fresh anymore. And they give you the smallest portion of rice. Come one rice?! The one thing they should be giving excess of. When I order a entrée to be served on rice I always find my self having to order an extra side of rice.

No other restaurant let alone a excellent Thai restaurant such as Lawan’s would inspire me to give a legit 5 stars but this place ranks up there with Seattle’s all-​time favorate the Wild Ginger!
but… I can testify Lawans is better (IMO) then the vaulted Wild Ginger yes I’m a Thai food junkie whose eaten in most of the best Thai places in Seattle – Mariners fan afterall so where else would I eat? :)
incidentally…the Tricities isn’t even on the same planet when it comes to this level of Thai, we are so lucky they settled here but the Tri-​cities would have been better for me. evenso I will be here on a very regular basis!

Fresh food, great soups (Tom ka), and decent prices.
I almost gave them gave 5 stars, but they recently switched up the crispy orange chicken to something I am sure is prepackaged. That was a great dish and it will be missed.

An absolute gem in small town Hermiston, OR.
Sunday Lunch: Drunken Noodles (Pad Kee Mao) Chicken w/​extra broccoli. This personal favorite typically requires an appetizer to fulfill my needs, but Lawan’s left me satisfied with the entrée standalone.
They have an All-​You-​Can-​Eat Buffet Mon-​Fri (10:30am-2pm). Not typically my jam, but doubtful any negatives there.
Clean, very friendly, great service, and took pride in their food being served. Without question I’ll be back, alongside some hungry co-​workers.

Best Thai food that I’ve had, since visiting Thailand last summer. Actually their yellow curry is better then the ones I tried in Thailand!
the prices seem kinda high for the food, but it’s a small town, so I think they have to make up for less foot traffic here. I’ll happily keep paying he prices though, because it’s that good!

Seriously, a restaurant this good in Hermiston? I have eaten Thai food at dozens of restaurants all across North America. I’ve eaten on both coasts and in between. I like spicy, fry your tongue, authentic Thai food. The food at this restaurant is easily in my top five favorite Thai experiences anywhere.
Fresh, fragrant, spicy, delicious. I’ve been here twice now, and both times it was consistently fantastic. The service is friendly, but the atmosphere is a little «divish» so that’s why I subtracted a star. Still, it’s a great value, and I’ll go back — maybe tomorrow for lunch!
