Phayathai — Restaurant in Town of Brookhaven

I live very close by to this restaurant and have eaten in once before. I ordered out the other evening due to having an emergency and has to get Ina nd out quickly and couldn't spare much for tip. i gave what I could to help feed the fishies. The restaurant itself has a little charm to it, in the summer months they have outdoor seating which is nice even if it's in a shopping strip. I enjoyed when I ate in years ago but when I ordered out the other evening I had the BEST chicken curry puffs to date and none have hit like homemade. Here they are so flaky crispy beautifully crunchy on the outside and bursting with flavor on the inside. the peanut sauce and cucumber sauces I got with the puffs and chicken satay is by far my favorite peanut sauce and cucumber sauce I've ever had the small bits of peanuts throughout with the perfect seasoning. uhh I want it everyday!! I may have to place an order for these curry puffs and sauces again for tommorow haha. absolutely delicious puffs! try them you won't be let down. I also order chicken satay also good bur I am sure much better when served in the restaurant, I reheated in the air fryer for a minute and it was tasty, not dry I paired it with a sweet chili sauce and peanut sauce yum !! my daughter is 7 and thoroughly enjoyed the mango fried chicken with white rice and sweet and sour sauce. the sauce was tangy for me but my kiddo truly loved this dish the chicken was crispy and it wasn't strange looking meat it looked like they use real breast for their chicken. pieces. not thighs or dark meat. I love this about that dish. it was flavorful and my baby ate almost the entire portion of chicken and mango. my only downfall which was a dish I had along with another in my first visit was the pineapple fried rice. I loved this the first time I came here. for some strange reason every time I tried to take a bite I smelled what smelled like rotting shrimp or shrimp that's about to go bad. or I just don't like shrimp and the flavor was just off-putting for me, I had asked for chicken and it was without a doubt chicken in the rice but I couldn't place the shrimp or fishy flavor so unfortunately I didn't eat or finish and it went to waste sadly but everything else was amazing I can't wait to have those curry puffs again and will make right on the rest of the tip I owe phayathai for a great dinner! 👏 I highly...

We came across Phayathai purely by chance ! Last Thursday - my husband's Uncle & Aunt wanted to treat my parents who are currently visiting, to dinner and were insistent that we Dine out. Since the majority enjoys Thai Cuisine - we were scrambling to find a good Thai restaurant nearby so we could have a quick bite and still reach home on time to watch the debate !! I am not sure how, but my husband and his Google searches always manage to come up with excellent places to enjoy good food as well as have an amazing time ...

Here is my completely honest take on the food...

As soon as we entered the place... it was not busy - very clean and nicely decorated... very homely feel - also the music in the background was very subtle and we were able to have a great conversation amongst ourselves !!

To begin with, we ordered the soups - my soup was Tom Yum and to be honest i was not very excited as it had too many raw vegetables - i have tasted better Tom Yum soup... but there were other's on the table who polished off their wonton soups within no time - maybe I just ordered the wrong item!

The Chicken Satay was a great hit amongst the men !!

Now for the main course - we ordered the Fried Chicken with Peanut Sauce as well as Fried Fish in Panang Sauce - they were cooked to perfection - every bite had a crunch as well as the Panang Sauce had the right kick.

My husband's Uncle who happens to be 88 was enjoying his Garlic Salmon with such relish that the rest of us on the table were enjoying ourselves just watching him !!

I will definitely be taking my boyz to this place soon, as they could not join us - I am sure they will love the Fish !!

Thank you Lord for this wonderful family ... as well as so many delicious places to enjoy good food and create...

Very disappointed in this restaurant. I placed an order on doordash and after placing the order I called the restaurant directly to confirm the order and to ask about the side of salad dressing. My friend (who speaks Thai) spoke to them and asked about the dressing choices because they sounded the same and also about the dressing portion size. They said both dressings were pretty much thre same and only one side of dressing was provided, so we kindly asked for another if possible. They said sure and that they would provide two; which was very nice. The doordash driver picked up the order and called me to tell me the restaurant decided they couldn't give us the two sides of salad dressing and would only give us one. Never ever had that happen before but whatever. Fast forward to it being delivered, for this decently big salad they only gave us a HALF full side of dressing. So not only did they at the last second take back giving us two sides but they only gave a half of a side dressing for this iceberg lettuce $9 salad (pictures attached). I wasn't even able to eat the whole salad, there was practically no dressing. Salad aside, last week I ordered an appetizer called meKroop and was only given a measly three shrimp (used to be 5 shrimp) for an $10 appetizer, this time they only provided two shrimp. I don't understand why they feel its okay to do this sort of thing to good customers but after this situation, they've lost mine and my friends business for sure. Some advice to the owner, this is unacceptable, stop being so blatantly inconsistent and cheap...
