I have crossed this great nation of ours by car, TWICE, and I can safely & easily say that Papa Thai food is up there with some of the VERY BEST in the country!!

We had Pineapple curry, chicken fried rice and pad thai and Thai fried tofu. The Thai food has a localised taste to it. The curry lacks the usual Thai spiciness and is rich and creamy. It is mild enough for children. The restaurant was rather empty but there were lots of people ordering takeout.

We ordered the pad see ew, fried wontons, and Thai iced tea. Flavors of the noodles is really good, perfectly spicy for me at medium spice. It leaves your mouth burning a bit with the Thai ice tea to alleviate some pain. I’m taking away one star because it seems like a large dish but it’s under a bed of lettuce, so it’s not much. Some of the flat noodles pieces were bits and tiny, not uniform and good size. The taste is on the spot but just wish there was more noodles than veggies for that price point. Popular spot, a group of people were even celebrating their birthday. Would come here again.

Lots of good options. The staff were friendly and helpful. Food arrived quickly and was delicious. We had pad Thai and Tom kha soup. Plenty of seating, clean tables and bathrooms. We would be regulars if we lived in the area.

Awesome Thai food and we enjoyed every meal we ordered. Big portions that didn’t skimp on flavor or quality.

Unbelievably nasty attitude towards honest criticisms. Look at Yelp reviews that are 1 star. Same as my experience. Love or leave, is their poor, poor attitude towards customers. I am a chef and cannot imagine talking to customers like both David and Summer do. David needs to mature into a quality manager. 20 something is too young to handle a business that serves customers. Accept criticisms gracefully unless you’re being abused. I was very calm and almost got my head ripped off.

Everything was great but my beef smell and taste expired. My friends dishes meat cut was too big to consume. The bell peppers was a large cut and raw with our fried rice too.

We ordered our food online around 4pm for pickup at 6:45pm. We arrived at 6:35 and it was already waiting on the counter, which should have been a red flag. When we arrived home about ten minutes later, our food was barely warm and the noodles and other ingredients were very dry, like it had been sitting out for a few hours. My husband called to ask them if the order had been made when it was placed (rather than made for the pickup time) and left out for 2.5 hours, and whomever he spoke to (Danny or David or something like that) hung up on him rather than answer our question. I’m sure it would have been good if it had been made fresh, but it’s all very dry and the noodles are stuck together. My picture shows how dry the chicken was. Definitely will not be going back or recommending this place to anyone if that’s the way they treat their customers. A phone number is attached to our order if anyone from the business would like to reach out and discuss this.
