    This place is a must-visit! The flavors are bold, fresh, and exactly what you’d expect from Thai cuisine. Every dish feels like it was made with care—perfectly balanced spices, fragrant herbs, and just the right amount of heat. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the service was quick without feeling rushed. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, making the whole dining experience even better. Highly recommend this spot to anyone who loves Thai food!

    Finally made it to PAI and..... it's middle of the pack Thai food. It's important to keep in mind Michelin overweights the importance of atmosphere, ambience and service over food. The food was enjoyable, but not exceptional. The oxtail curry tasted like an Indian curry, the pad see ew tasted great but had no smokiness/wok hei and the fried fish was crispy and good enough. I liked my dinner here but you're better off going to Pii Nong or Eat BKK (Sheppard location) or Koh Lipe

    We went with some friends and we all left full and happy. Definitely order the fritters! The pad thai was a delicious house special too. The crowd favorite was the sticky mango rice (we ordered another because it was that good). Friendly and prompt staff as well! We'll for sure be back.

    I’ve been to Pai multiple times now. I can say this without doubt that this place never disappoints. Their service, food, ambience - everything is top notch. People who are new to the Thai cuisine should be brought here. The only downside is that it’s walk-in only so there could be some wait of 30-45 minutes during peak hours but it’s totally worth it.

    This place has never been a miss - pure hits! It never fails to satisfy with its impeccable service, food and environment. Make sure to try the key dishes like the massaman (with beef), green Currie (with chicken), shrimp and squash fritters! They are very kind and hospitable so make sure to ask for anything if you need recommends! Get the sticky rice mango!
