Pakpao Thai, Dallas TX

As a Dallas Local, this is one of my favorite go to places.

Here’s my go to meal:
Appetizer: Crispy Fried Chicken (the sauce is amazing)
Entree: Fried Rice, or Orange Chicken (my lady loves the pad Thai)

The food was super tasty and the service was great! Our server Sharon was kind and helpful. Plus, if you come on Monday’s, the pad Thai is $10.

I’ve come here for about month now & the servers have been ABSOLUTE AMZING! Sharon - spectacular! Chris - top tier experience!

Sharon was amazing! The pad Thai is my favorite dish, it’s even better getting it for $10 on Mondays!

Food was very good- really liked the Pad Thai and the Mango Sticky Rice! And Sharon was the nicest server!

Pakpao Thai was absolutely delicious! Delicious with three exclamation marks kinda delicious. I went with with the Chicken Pad Thai and it was phenomenal. They also offer a spice tray complete with three canisters of varying spicy levels of different types of chili toppings.

The staff were all extremely friendly and polite. The location was very clean, inviting, and fun.

It's been a hot minute since I've had some quality Thai food, so glad I stopped in at Pakpao Thai.

Highly recommend. Bonus points, they offer a military discount.

A friend & I went for lunch to try something new and we weren't disappointed! My friend tried the Thai chicken coconut soup, which had plenty of chicken and veggies. I had the Thai grapefruit salad, which was refreshing. We also tried two other appetizers. Tofu & Crab Rangoon and Chicken Spring Rolls. BOTH were sooo good! Entree was the Restaurant Week special Thai Steak Tacos & The Chicken Buddah Bowl. We loved both dishes as well. For desert, we tried the Strawberry Banana shaved Ice that has ice cream on the bottom/shaved ice & flavoring. I wasn't sure at first, BUT it was so good! The atmosphere & decor were very inviting.bright & open. There's a nice covered patio as well.

Amazing flavors and food overall. Service was great and attentive. Our group went to an early dinner so the sun was shining bright, but I bet the ambiance at night looks amazing after the sun is setting. Definitely going back when I'm back in Dallas.

Very bad thai food. The ambience was ok but there were mosquitoes and flies running around the tables and food. The service was bad, we had to ask them to get us serving spoons and plates. The drinks we ordered were good. Total waste of money, wouldn't recommend this place.

We went here for my wife's birthday - I ordered the Pad Thai and she had a chicken curry.

I unfortunately can't say the same thing for my Pad Thai. It was absolutely the worst Pad Thai I have ever eaten. It tasted like a dirty pan and was so greasy that my lips were literally coated every time I took a bite. I decided not to complain given it was my wife's bday but in any other circumstance I would have asked for it to be remade because it was like eating an old grill - completely absent of any peanut flavor or tamarind.

I am only giving this place 2 stars because the service was great and my wife said her curry was pretty good.

I got this from UberEats. Ordered the mango sticky rice, and it only came with the rice, which was rock hard. UberEats guy may have taken the mangos and coconut milk, but still the dessert wouldn't have been that good anyways after trying the rice. Also, excesssive fees were added to the order even though I recueved no service from them. The summer rolls noodles were undercooked, but the drunken chicken noodles were good except for the chicken being a bit dry and tough.

I have come here a few times since I moved to Dallas last year; it used to be very delicious and flavorful. This last time I visited, it seems as if it is a completely different place. The food was bland bland. The Pad Thai and Pad Ki Mao seemed to have far less noodles, the peanut sauce was runny, and the flavor was absent. Unfortch.

If you are looking for authentic Thai food go somewhere else. The chicken curry I had was a broiled or boiled chicken breast cubed up and tossed in. I had to stir it up and wait 5 minutes before it was edible past dry flavorless cubes of chicken breast. I get better Thai food at every take out place I know of for half the price. This place is clearly owned by a large corporate restaurant group, and I mean that in the worst way.

Food was great on a Friday evening. Duck was delicious and the pumpkin curry chicken was excellent. Only complaint was the Thom Ka soup. It was very bland. If they add some of the great chili oil they have to spice it up, that would fix it.

The food was amazing! Environment and music was great, and our waitress Sharon was outstanding!

My husband and I ordered 3 different entrees just to try a variety of things: yellow curry with chicken, drunken noodle with chicken, and sesame beef. All delicious! Our waitress, Sharon F, was extremely helpful and kind. We left full and happy.
