Pattaya Thai Restaurant — Restaurant in Town of Penfield

UPDATE: Still 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 still delish! (Photos are of crab rangoons, evil jungle w/squid, Tom yum soup, I can't remember the rest but everything is always fantastic. . . . WOW. Simply. Delicious... I cannot begin to describe how wonderful this restaurant is. Truly a hidden gem, I wouldn't have expected anything amazing if I hadn't read the reviews first. I would travel to eat here.

When you first walk in it seems like any other restaurant yet I could immediately tell that everyone who worked there took great care and pride in the whole experience. It felt comfortable and laid back yet had an air of fine dining. The music was classy classical and everything was done with great care. Everyone moved with such grace and were so courteous you would think you were dining in a royal court. We were served by the chef since we had arrived in-between main meal times and he beamed as we showered the food with compliments when checked on.

Everything we ordered was fresh, perfectly prepared and delicious. Based on the recommendations of others' reviews we tried the crispy shrimp rolls with sweet & sour sauce(truly yummy), chicken tom yum soup(perfect & can't wait to try the shrimp), beef masaman curry(I'd drink the curry it was so delish), and Evil jungle (subbing squid for the tofu, great move!).

The dishes were all delicious with generous portions as well. For the price I'd say even dinner is doable on a tight budget. I would recommend "2 peppers" heat level as this was perfect. I have to note that the squid was THE BEST SQUID I HAVE EVER HAD! I'm sure that everything they make is just as amazing. They also offer takeout yet I would go eat there just to see the chef's smiling face...

My wife noticed this small restaurant as we drove thru Penfield and said we should try it. So we gave it a go for dinner. This place is settled in the nice area of Penfield. It has thier own parking, which is always convenient. As we went in the place looked bigger inside than outside. It looked very clean and neat. The server took us to our table and we were presented with menus. We looked over the menus and they had a very good assortment. On their first page, they had their entrees or I would say house specialties. I decided to try one of the house specialties which was the Drunken Noodles with chicken and as an appetizer had the crab Rangoon. My wife had the Panang Chicken. We also ordered Thai tea for beverages. We first received our Thai teas and they were delicious. I quickly received my Rangoon after. It came with a sweet sauce. Not sure if it was a duck style of sauce, but it was tasty and went well with the Rangoon. Soon after we had received our dinners. The portions were moderate and just enough for me, but my wife would take a little of hers home at the end. My dish was very tasty and had just enough chicken to noodles ratio. I found it very good. I tried my wife's Panang chicken and it was very good as well. She enjoyed it as well. Overall, the service was very good as well as the food. The reason for the 4 stars it was a little pricey for the portion served. But hey, some people don't mind what they spend as long as the service and food are good. I would say check it out for sure if you're into...

Went in yesterday for my boyfriends birthday. It was our first visit. I made a reservation using google reservations and it was seamless. Was a bit concerned since they don't confirm until they open (obviously) and I had made a last minute reservation, but had conformation of my reservation by about 330 (for a 630 reservation - they open at 4).

Immediately greeted with a smile and seated.

Service was quick and friendly. Ordered crab rangoon & Beef Satay for an appetizer. Both were fantastic. The rangoon was better than I've ever had anywhere else (a little different but leaps and bounds better). Beef Satay was flavorful, tender, and delicious. My boyfriend grew up eating satay (family from Indonesia) and said it was just like what he would eat growing up.

We ordered chicken pad thai for main course and this was delicious as well. Service was quick.

For desert we had Fried Banana with Coconut Glaze Topped with Sesame Seed. This was out of this world. The batter they used to fry the banana's was amazing. It came out crispy on the outside but extremely delicate and soft on the inside, bananas were delicious and the glaze was perfect. Well balanced desert that wasn't overly sweet.

I highly recommend giving Pattaya Thai a try. You won't be...
