Pattaya Thai Restaurant

We’ve been patrons of this amazing little hole in the wall for going on almost 10 years. Despite Covid, and a tornado, this restaurant continues to be successful because their food is truly delicious. The steamed dumplings, edamame, and egg roles are always delicious appetizers. I love the garlic stir fry with chicken or shrimp, volcano chicken, or curry with chicken as a main course. The food is always hot, fresh, and mouth watering good.

We visited Pattaya Thai over the weekend based on good reviews, but unfortunately our experience was disappointing. We tried the hand-folded crab wontons, chicken satay, Pad Thai, cashew stir-fry with rice, red curry, and pineapple fried rice. Most dishes were overly salty, oily, and had an unpleasant smell, and none really stood out. The pineapple fried rice was slightly better than the rest, but still average. Service was okay, but overall the food didn’t meet expectations — possibly just an off day, but it didn’t work for us this time.

I had a great experience at Pattaya Thai! Kory, who’s the manager and also served us, was amazing. I had a few questions about the ingredients, and she actually called me back to explain which dishes I could have — super thoughtful and helpful! She was really kind, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect. Big thanks to Kory for the awesome service!

Ordered two chicken pad thais and was pretty disappointed. For $13 a plate, the portion size was very small. The noodles were dry, there wasn’t much chicken, and the peanuts were just stuck in one little pile instead of being mixed in. Flavor was okay, but not worth the price. For nearly $30 total, I expected much better quality and portion size. Probably won’t be returning.

Great little mom and pop restaurant serving Thai food. Casual atmosphere with friendly service. The food was flavorful and fresh — we especially enjoyed the spring rolls and noodles! Staff was very attentive and accommodating to any dietary restrictions. Portions were generous and prices very reasonable. It’s not fancy, but it’s cozy and hits the spot when you’re craving solid Thai food. Decent spot for group lunches or dinners. Will definitely be back!
