| - At the time of this review, I had heard that the original owner of Khao Son Road had sold his franchise and started from the ground up with Pai! As a big fan of the original, I decided to check this place out.
We started with the usual sweet potato Fritters and was surprised to see a very generous serving. My next bench mark for any thai place, is of course, the Pad Thai. A very reasonable serving size of Chef Nuit's Pad Thai w/ Chicken set to 'medium' hotness gave it a pleasant kick after taste, which I washed down with, once again, another classic bench mark the Thai Iced Tea. The Pad thai's distinctive flavour was evident and not overwhelming, and I was happy to taste that the medium spice level didn't take away from it too much. The Iced Tea was velvety and sweet, but I could've done without half the glass being filled with ice shavings.
Overall, Pai is "facelift" on the old Khao Son Road, but with the same nostalgic taste. The larger seating capacity and reliable food quality will have me coming back.
