Atmosphere was great, service was wonderful, the appetizer was good as well. The price for the quality of food was a little much. The pad Thai at first was alright but there was a burnt bitter taste throughout my dish and my girlfriends pineapple rice tasted a little undercooked. Other than that, very clean restaurant.

This was a cute little place we found in Lithia!
I think my favorite part was the presentation of the food! Everything looked so beautiful!
It was small inside but they were accommodating and had great service! We brought our 3 kids and really enjoyed the experience!

Payaathai is one of my favorite lunch spots! They serve great Thai food with friendly service and a charming atmosphere. Their lunch special is amazing - plenty of entrée options, plus a starter, soup or salad, and a drink, all at a great price. Everything is beautifully presented and the food is always fresh and flavorful. Definitely a go-to spot!
