The cigar store nextdoor is leeching into the restaurant. It smells and feels like cigar smoke inside, and honestly this location is pretty dingy. My eyes were burning within 30 seconds. We left without ordering. But we did pivot to the other location which was FABULOUS!!!!

Came for dinner right as they opened at 4 PM and tried their Khao Poon. This place does Laotian and Thai food, but I think you should try their Laotian if you can! The Khao Poon was delicious and so filling - would definitely come back :) Their Bua Loy was also a delicious desert!

Good food but someone here smokes inside for sure. It smelled like cigarettes inside and I left smelling like them.

Padaek is an awesome spot for great Lao and Thai food. The flavors are bold and authentic, the portions are generous, and everything tastes super fresh. The staff are friendly and attentive, and the vibe is casual and welcoming. Definitely a go-to when I’m craving something flavorful and different.

Padaek absolutely delivers. The food’s packed with flavor — bold, spicy, and perfectly balanced. You can tell everything’s made with care. The staff was friendly and the service smooth. Easily one of my favorite Lao/Thai spots around.

Amazing curry. Best I've had in a long time. Authentic, vegan-friendly, toddler-friendly. Cozy ambiance and great family spot. Will be back!!

I’ve been coming here for over 10+ years well today I happen to go with my fiancé and we were treated like absolute crap. We were told we had five minutes to order and less than 30 minutes to eat because they needed to close to take an hour break which we traveled over an hour and a half to get there I was not aware of the time Change because I’ve always gone in the evening. I didn’t even get half the stuff I I usually get. I only purchased two today and I only did that because I had drove over an hour and a half to get there. I will never return. !!! And I know my business probably doesn’t mean A lot to them because we were just two people eating

This small casual restaurant serves up authentic Laotian plates from the pork sausage to the beef jerky and the papaya salad. Most of the food here can be pretty spicy. The dessert with coconut soup and taro root and chewy flour balls were pretty delicious.

Great food, from delicate salads to rich curries. Everything is really interesting, lots of layers of complex flavors but always well-balanced.

First time having Laotian cuisine. I’m not joking when I say this may have been the best tasting meal I’ve had all year, the beef crispy basil. Unbelievable flavor! Definitely coming back.
