We order pickup from Pad Thai around 3 to 4 times per month and absolutely love this place. Excellent flavors, nice sized portions and overall very good value for money.Vegetarian options: Most dishes that we've tried work well with tofu.

Decently sized parking lot in the back. Their strength is definitely appetizers. Chicken satay is great and comes with refreshing cucumbers. Fairly priced drinks.Overall a pleasant experience and I will definitely be back to try the egg rolls and pad Thai.

Omg the best Thai food in the area I have had so far. The service was exceptional and very professional and so polite. The ambiance is outstanding with dim lighting and Thai temple like vibe. Honestly I felt welcomed and honestly a part if the Thaiwanese culture. It was remarkable and honestly the best experience I have had by far with a authentic Thai restaurant. Thanks so much for an amazing experience.

I never leave reviews, but tonight I had to. I placed an online order at 8:25 and our food was ready in literally, I’m not exaggerating, 6 minutes! Since I moved to MN, Pad Thai has been a staple, with consistently great food and great service on each and every visit. And tonight was above and beyond!

Pad Thai is one of the best Thai restaurants in the twin cities area. Absolutely has the best Massaman curry and fresh spring rolls. Great vegan options as well.

Overall, Pad Thai Restaurant in St. Paul is quite good! It's a relatively large restaurant so I was seated right away which was great. I'm a big fan of Pad Thai so of course, I ordered their Pad Thai. It was delicious and included plenty of flavorful sauce and meat. I also ordered the Gang Kha with chicken, it was also very good -- It had the perfect amount of coconut milk. The service was very fast and the food also came out very quickly. The only downside of Pad Thai Restaurant is the street parking. It's right on Grand Ave so highly recommend parking on Cambridge Street.

Great service! Delicious food. Couldn't believe how quick the server attended my table moments after being seated. Luckily , I knew exactly what I wanted and the appetizer was out in what felt like seconds. The entree wasn't too far behind making me totally impressed with the speed. The iced Thai Tea with cream was the cherry on top. There is a great parking lot in the back and then free parking anywhere on the street. I am rating it a 4 only because the interior felt slightly dirty. With a little upkeep, maybe some patching and a nice sweep, I'd rate this a 5.

I met a friend here for lunch Friday 3/1/24. While we were waiting to be seated we saw a mouse run across one of the ceiling beams. Needless to say we decided to have lunch elsewhere. I know mice can happen sometimes but to see one run across a beam in the middle of the day points to a larger issue. I don't plan to return to Pad Thai which is a bummer because I have heard good things about their food.

The Tom Kha (has a slight variation in name on their menu) was really yummy. Tons of chicken and vegetables and a delicious flavor. The menu stated that their spring rolls were the best in the twin cities and I didn't snag a picture, but I would venture to say they're the best I've ever had. Unfortunately, the pad Thai wasn't my favorite as it seemed like it didn't have a ton of flavor. A bit of a bummer for a place named Pad Thai, but I would still come back if I was in the neighborhood.
The atmosphere is shabby chic, and the service is phenomenal! Our server was a ray of sunshine as we were tired. The food came out hot and fast and spiced superbly. Drunken noodles ? ?! The lack of a noticeable sign outside and the crowd inside speak to its popularity and consistency.

We've been coming here for a handful of years and have never had a bad meal or experience! My favorite dish is the yellow curry with fried tofu and my husbands is chicken pad Thai. We always get the cream cheese puffs and fresh vegetarian spring rolls. The portions are heavy enough that you could share a dish with another person, or have a second dinner to take home! You can choose your spice level which I love! The staff work so hard to make sure you have a nice meal. It's a ma & pop kind of business so it always feels good to enjoy a meal there. The ambiance is authentically Thai with beautiful scenery and comfortable booths and tables. We've gone with large groups and just us two, no matter what we always have a great experience. We used to live in the cities but have since moved to the suburbs but whenever we are in the area we make sure to grab food at Pad Thai!Vegetarian options: You choose your protein for every dish, can do vegetarian or tofu.Parking: Behind restaurant plenty of spaces and street parking.
