Pad Thai was a disappointment. I LOVE Thai food, so I was very excited to learn that there was a Thai place in Layton. Someone gave us a gift certificate for Thai Pad, and we decided to use it on Valentine's Day. My husband has not had much Thai food and I had hoped that this would be a good experience. We ordered pad thai, golden bags, tod mun pla, and fresh spring rolls. Unfortunately, the pad thai tasted like it had been made with a bland beef broth, and they didn't use rice vermicelli, which is the noodle I prefer with pad thai. In fact, I've never had pad thai that contained anything other than rice vermicelli, but the type of noodle was not the major problem with this dish.
The fresh spring rolls were standard, and the golden bags were okay, but the tod mun pla was actually good. The tod mun pla was warm and not overly fishy. The dipping sauce was sweet cucumber sauce that went well with the fish and the vegetables in the patty. I was also pleased that it was not greasy, even though it was fried item.
Based on the quality of the food, I would say that the prices are high. Our dinner was over fifty dollars, and the only one of the appetizers was good. The thai pad was $12 and the portion size was substantial, but the food didn't leave me wanting leftovers. In fact, I had to create my own sauce to try to jazz up the leftovers. Otherwise, I would have thrown them away. I do not recommend eating...
Read morePad Thai is right by my office so I finally decided to stop inside and give it a try. I got the medium yellow curry, next time I will go for the hotter curry. They gave a lot of food with plenty of rice. The curry was good, but it was missing a little flair that I was hoping for, it was just a little bland. We also got the sweet and spicy chicken. The chicken didn't seem fresh, it was pretty mushy. We ended with the Mango Sticky Rice. That was really good! I was a little worried that the mango was not going to taste fresh, but it was an excellent taste, the coconut milk was perfect!
I do have to say that it took them about 15 minutes to sit us when there was only one other group in the restaurant, and then took another 15 minutes for them to come back and take our order once we sat down. I was a little disappointed with the service, they mentioned a few times they were short staffed. If we had better service I think my review would be a...
Read moreWanted to try a new thai place. reviews seemed good enough. Called in for a pickup order and was told it would be ready in 15 min. Showed up 20 min later and they asked me to have a seat. I waited another 20 minuets until the finally brought out my food. They were very nice ladies but the wait was forever . 3 couples left while waiting to be seated. The restraunt wasn't full and there were several open tables. I ordered Pad Thai and Chicken skewers with peanut sauce. The Pad Thai was HORRIBLE. Very fishy and was just about 5 brussle sprouts, 3 pieces of green onion and maybe half handful of peanuts. The rest was just noodles and some chicken (see photo). The chicken skewers and sauce were fabulous. I got 2 peanut sauces and they looked very different so maybe they make sauces there as orders come in and they just messed up my Pad Thai. It was gross though and lacked any flavor because it was basically noodles and sauce. I...
