We came in for dinner a little past 8:30pm on a Thursday night without reservation - we lucked out and got a table for four relatively quickly, the line-up got pretty busy shortly after we were seated.
Tip: Make a reservation on their website as the place gets packed!
Atmosphere: The restaurant had a cozy, marketplace feel. Super lively.
Service: Our server was friendly, and gave us several recommendations that we went with. She came by to advise us before she ended her shift which was professional, and appreciated!
Food: We shared the Grabong ($14, shredded squash fritters served with a sweet garlic dip) for starter - it was interesting and I wanted to love them more because I do love my fries, but they came out a bit flaccid. For our main, we got the Khao Soi ($16.5, fresh egg noodles in golden curry with braised beef). We went with Medium spice level, and I don't think I would go beyond that level because it had quite the kick! The curry was extremely flavourful and I especially loved that they topped it up with crispy noodles. I would go back to Pai for that bowl alone! Our second main was Pad Gra Prow ($18.5), we chose to go with the crispy pork. It was a bit on the greasy side but that's what crispy pork is about right? ;) We also ordered the Thai iced tea ($5.5) which was a nice complement for a full Thai meal experience.
Price: Reasonable
Overall: Will I go back? Yes!
