“ Local restaurant serving only Pad Thai. It's very authentic and delicious. The price is as low as THB 50 for a medium portion. It's also available with chicken. The service is also great. The staff is quick to serve you. I also tried their coconut icecream – do not recommend it as it was frozen like ice, super difficult to eat. ”
“ Got recommendation by local, i came for lunch and came about 1.30pm, only several guests inside, no local here. Ordered regular pad thai (45 baht). The service was fast, my order came with lime and other vegetable. You can add chili flakes or sugar, and they served teapot full of water, but i dont know where was the glass. The padthai was okay, lil bit sweet, you can taste the nut inside, had scrambled egg, and made my stomach full. My desk came from sewing machine, this restaurant had many tables for dine in, nit stuffy even no air conditioning. ”
“ I came here for a late-night snack without any expectations but ended up loving it. The taste is quite standard, not too strong in any way, not too sweet or salty. The price is very good and the aunty is so cute and friendly. They only sell pad thai and fried mussels. ”
“ It was a good pad thai however maybe I'm just too used to msg by this point or just missing some flavour/salt but it was a biiiit blant. What we do is we put some soy sauce and then it's perfect. Oh the only other thing is that we found shrimp tail and small parts of shrimp although we ordered vegetarian. Might want to be careful if you're strict about it. ”
“ Worth receiving 5 stars, as the food is delicios! They cook the food in front of you and they serve it very fast. I definitely recommend eating pad thai here, the star dish of this restaurant! ”
