Paya Thai Kitchen — Restaurant in Atlanta

5-Star Review: Paya Thai Kitchen – A Hidden Gem with Exceptional Service

From the moment I stepped into Paya Thai Kitchen, I knew I was in for something special. The cozy yet vibrant atmosphere set the stage for what turned out to be one of the most enjoyable dining experiences I’ve had in quite some time.

What truly elevated my visit, however, was the outstanding service provided by Julian, our server for the evening. From the moment he greeted our table, Julian was warm, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. He made thoughtful recommendations based on our preferences and guided us through an array of authentic Thai dishes that did not disappoint. His timing was impeccable—our glasses were never empty, and we never once had to look around for assistance. Julian struck the perfect balance between professionalism and genuine hospitality, which made us feel welcomed and well cared for throughout the entire meal.

The food? Absolutely phenomenal. Every dish was bursting with flavor—from the rich and aromatic Tom Kha soup to the perfectly balanced Pad Thai with just the right amount of spice. The green curry was a standout: creamy, fragrant, and layered with complexity. You could taste the freshness of the ingredients in every bite, and the presentation was just as impressive as the taste.

I also appreciated how accommodating the staff was with dietary preferences and spice levels, ensuring everyone at the table had a meal tailored to their taste.

Paya Thai Kitchen is more than just a place to eat—it’s a place to savor. With food that rivals any high-end Thai restaurant and service that makes you feel like a valued guest, this spot is a true gem. Julian’s exceptional service made the evening unforgettable, and I will absolutely be returning soon.

Highly recommend to anyone looking for top-tier Thai cuisine paired with world-class hospitality. Five stars...

@payathaikitchen was completely amazing during our recent visit for another #foodiefridays .

The restaurant was absolutely stunning inside, as you can see from the pictures, the customer service was 5 star, and the food was amazing. So let's talk about the food:

Crispy Duck Bites ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ We have never seen this on any other Thai menu, so we had to give it a taste, and it was everything we hoped and more. Full of flavorful duck meat, fried golden and crisp with a little citrus tang from the lime and herbs. Beautiful and unique dish.

Roti Dip ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ Instantly hit our top 5 of roti dips in Atlanta. It was creamy, rich, aromatic, and tasty. Amazing appetizer.

Crab Fried Rice ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ Giant chunks of crab, rice cooked to perfection, and all of the flavors you expect from 5 star Thai food.

Guys, this place is amazing, we wouldn't lie to you because we are very picky about our Thai food. Please go visit them soon and often. I can tell you that you absolutely won't be disappointed!!

An Authentic Thai Culinary Masterpiece!

​This restaurant is a true gem. If you're looking for authentic Thai food that tastes like it came straight from a kitchen in Bangkok, this is your spot. Every single dish we ordered was an explosion of perfectly balanced, delicious flavor.

​We started with the appetizers: the Larb Gai was zesty, fresh, and had the perfect spicy-sour kick. The Chicken Satay was incredibly tender and juicy, served with a rich and addictive peanut sauce. We also couldn't resist the Roti Canai, which was flaky, buttery, and the perfect vessel for its delicious curry dip.

​For our main courses, the Pad See Ew had that wonderful smoky "wok hei" flavor with perfectly chewy, wide noodles. The Thai Basil Fried Rice was aromatic and packed with flavor, while the Massaman Curry was the star of the show – unbelievably rich, creamy, and complex.

​The biggest and most pleasant surprise was the bar. I ordered their Spicy Old Fashioned and it was a game-changer. It's a brilliantly crafted cocktail with the perfect balance of smoky bourbon sweetness and a lingering chili heat that complemented the food beautifully. It's a must-try!

​Five stars isn't enough. This is my new gold standard for Thai food. We will be back...
