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.

I love this restaurant so much. I’ve eaten at all of the other restaurants run by this restaurateur (Thip Khao, Baan Mae), and just like the others, this place is excellent.
The dishes are well-priced for how excellent they are, and so flavorful and well-balanced. I’ve had a mix of both the Thai and Lao dishes, and I’ve liked both. Today, I had the Nam Tok Muu, a spicy pork salad with sticky rice, which I’ve never had before. No surprise to me, it was delicious.
I went to Padaek after seeing they had very positive reviews and they did not disappoint!! So yummy 😋 •Thai iced coffee - It was a tad sweet for me but my girlfriend absolutely loved it • Fried rice with chicken - The chicken was cooked well and could stand on its own in terms of flavor. Really good 👍 • Drunken noodles with beef - these were perfect

Food is great but the place reeks of stale cigarette smoke. Even waiting for takeout is an unpleasant experience. Used to eat here occasionally and it never smelled like this before, so this is something new; it needs to be taken care of quickly.

Our first visit was delightful- we’ll be back! My partner and I ordered the crispy tofu starter, Laab with chicken and Ank with catfish. Both dishes were excellent with the Laotian sticky rice. I especially enjoyed all the spices in the Ank. Topped it off with some Beerlao and it was like a lunch adventure to Laos!
