JUICY SUITS: Troubled Thai Restaurant Typhoon! Sued for Unpaid Produce Bills

Thai-Food

 A Tigard-based Thai restaurant chain's legal troubles continue this week with a series of lawsuits in Multnomah County Circuit Court for alleged unpaid produce bills.

According to three lawsuits filed March 8, Typhoon! locations in Northwest Portland, downtown Portland, Beaverton and Gresham owe a total of more than $88,500 in unpaid bills to Portland-based T.P. Produce. The lawsuits include attached copies of four unpaid invoices for deliveries stretching back to May 2010.

Typhoon! headquarters has not yet responded to a request for comment.

The chain has run into serious legal troubles in recent years, including a civil-rights complaint by the Oregon labor commissioner, the closure and reopening of its flagship location for unpaid rent, and a federal lawsuit for alleged slavery and human trafficking.

If it looks like a duck, quacks like one...........

As a SMALL business owner (mom and pop), we are also out of patience with Typhoon Restaurant-Catering by Bo.  We have received notices advising they will pay us and yet have not.  We even wrote and asked for a "Good Faith" payment awhile back.  It is more than unprofessional to make promises and not follow thru, especially when we rely on their business to keep our doors open. In these troubling times, the worst thing a business can do is intentionally harm other businesses in thieir own community, and make false promises, for self gain, off the backs of other business'. We need to ask ourselves where is these people sense of responsibility to their community and why should we patronize this type of conduct. Do they deserve to have their doors open within our community, at the expense of other business'?  There needs to be obvious signs for rehabilitation........... not just that their doors have been re-opened, while continuing to make false promises to us!
