Sao Paulo 🇧🇷 Thai food | Brazilian flavor / fast Thai food

🏠 Pad Thai Gai 🗺️ R. Augusta, 1036 - Consolação, São Paulo - SP, 01304-001 🍜 A Disappointing Thai Affair in Consolação Not exactly a glowing recommendation, but worth documenting for the vibe. (Let’s be real—I overthink every meal, even doing "research" before choosing spots. This one had potential... on paper.) 🌐 The Search That Led Astray Found via Google Maps, this place looked "authentic but underrated" compared to São Paulo’slike E-San. Reality check: Zero street parking, though nearby garages exist. Augusta Street’s edgy energy: hipsters and eccentric passersby, a vibe that felt "free-spiriting" but also... slightly alarming. My table by the door had me clutching my phone all meal, half-expecting a heist movie montage. 🕒 40 Minutes Later: Still Waiting for Satay Order: Pad Thai (owner’s recommendation) Skewered meat that looked promising Fruit tea Timeline: 25 mins: Pad Thai arrives—Brazilianized version with near-raw salad onions, more "ceviche vibes" than authentic Thai. 40+ mins: Still no satay. When I flag the owner: "Cancel the skewers?" she asks nonchalantly. "Wait, you haven’t started cooking them?" "Other orders came first." (The tiny joint had 4 tables max, 2 staff total. Clearly, capacity issues.) Fruit tea: Two sips, left behind. Tasted like Brazil’s idea of "Southeast Asian spices"—aka confused. 📝 The Silver Linings (Sort of) Atmosphere: Quirky decor, good for Instagram if you ignore the service. Price: ~72.6 BRL/person. Not bank-breaking, but zero value for money. Verdict: Skip for food, maybe come for the Augusta Street people-watching—if you’ve got 2 hours to kill and don’t mind lukewarm Pad Thai. #ThaiCuisine #RestaurantReview #DiningDisasters #OverseasLife
