🇹🇭 Paya Thai Kitchen | A Mixed Bag in Midtown ATL

Located in the trendy Westside Provisions District, this spot offers a beautiful setting — perfect for dates or special occasions 💫. But if you're coming for standout Thai flavors, you might want to look elsewhere in Atlanta 😅. 📍 Paya Thai Kitchen Midtown – Westside Provisions District ✅ Validated 2-hour parking available 💵 ~$50 per person 🍽️ What We Tried 🥗 Thai Papaya Salad – Refreshing, tangy, and sweet. A great start! 🍲 Shrimp Tom Yum Soup – Broth was rich and flavorful (though shrimp tasted frozen) 🦑 Calamari – Standard and safe, hard to mess up 🍗 Pad Thai Wings – Salty outside, under-seasoned inside + strong chicken taste 👎 🦆 Basil Duck – Overly gamey with soggy skin — not our favorite 🍚 Crab Fried Rice – Just okay — neither bad nor memorable 💬 Verdict Gorgeous interior, but the food doesn’t fully deliver. Soup and salad were the highlights — the rest felt average or underwhelming. Maybe for a drink and ambiance, but not for a flavor journey. #PayaThaiKitchen #MidtownATL #ThaiFoodReview #AtlantaEats #PrettyButAverage #DateNightSpot #FoodieTruth
