" Delicious! I went to Eem after hearing so many good things and it lived up to the hype. I especially appreciated the brisket in the curry—it took the dish to another level! Definitely recommend the cocktails as well. Will be back to try the other items soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" My friends and I were excited to try Eem, and it did not disappoint. The flavors were bold, and the portions were decent. I was particularly fond of the smoked pork krapao. The staff was attentive, and I appreciated their recommendations. Perfect for a night out! " (*Curated Review*)

" Eem is an adventurous culinary experience! I felt like I was on a flavor journey with the brisket curry and pork belly dishes. The service was warm and approachable yet professional. Although the place was busy, the wait was reasonable. Overall, a fun outing for those looking for something unique! " (*Curated Review*)

" Eem is a true gem in Portland! The combination of BBQ and Thai flavors was a match made in heaven. We loved the white curry with brisket—very comforting. The friendly service added to the experience. A bit loud, but that's to be expected with a bustling spot like this. Great place for a fun dinner outing! " (*Curated Review*)

" A lively spot with an interesting menu! The BBQ twist on classic Thai dishes was something I hadn’t seen before. Though the portions were generous, I wasn't a fan of the spice levels in some dishes; I'd prefer a bit less heat. That said, had a good time and appreciated the prompt service. " (*Curated Review*)

" An enjoyable experience but could use some refinements. The flavors were certainly unique—especially in the BBQ fried rice. The atmosphere was vibrant, buzzing with excitement. Good cocktails, but wait staff felt a little overwhelmed during the dinner rush. " (*Curated Review*)

" We decided to visit Eem without a reservation on a weeknight and were surprised by the long wait! However, once seated, we understood why it’s loved by so many. Everything we ordered was well-prepared and flavorful. I do think this place is more suitable for groups or lively dinners due to noise levels, but I can't wait to be back. " (*Curated Review*)
