Our Kitchen

Two traditions, one table.

Pada Thai is a family-run kitchen bringing together the bold, herbal flavors of Thailand and Laos. Every dish is cooked to order, with fresh vegetables and herbs, and spiced exactly the way you like it — from not spicy at all to fiery hot. Vegan and vegetarian guests are always well taken care of, and we're proudly BYOB, so bring whatever you'd like to drink with your meal.

Settle into our cozy dining room — live plants, warm terracotta walls, and the kind of welcoming spot where a table can turn into karaoke night.
