So I visited Pai on Friday on the recommendation of a few coworkers. Verdict: Glad I came.
Had to have lunch at 2:00 pm as it was so hard to get an earlier reservation. I definitely advise you reserve rather than show up here as it's busy always.
So for starters, we ordered the spring rolls and kung tawt shrimp. Both were very tasty, but slightly over fried. We had wanted to order the chicken wings but couldn't justify paying $5.00 for only 3 wings. A little much.
For drinks, we had water and spicy ginger beer(bottled). $4.00 was a too much for the small sized bottle I received.
For our main dishes: I had the Khao Soi with chicken (2 drumsticks) and my guest had the good old staple of Pad Thai with chicken.
My meal was amazing, but not as spicy as I would have preferred although I did request additional chilis be used. Fresh egg noodles in a golden curry topped with crispy noodles, coriander, green onions and your choice of Braised Beef, Chicken Breast or Chicken Drumsticks (contains shrimp paste)---menu description
The flavour was indescribable. My only concern was the mess factor. I wasn't expecting the amount of broth it came with and ended up wearing some home as it was splashing everywhere.
My guest, she thoroughly enjoyed her pad thia..one of the best she has tasted, in her words.
Overall, really enjoyed this place. I wished there were more options on the menu. I would have loved a mango salad but they only offered papaya.
The atmosphere was nice...kinda urban hipster. The music was awesome. I dined while jamming out to some old school hip-hop vibes. Would definitely return.
