    Cute hole in the wall Thai restaurant. We got pad Thai, chicken curry and pineapple fried rice. Surprised this was enough for 3 people! Tasted delicious, perfect amount of spice and the staff was attentive and friendly. Prices are also great compared to local competitors. Can’t wait to come back!

    This is a true Thai cuisine. Extra spicy and tasty. it was very difficult to find a taste of real tom yam in the US like in the south of Thailand. I happy now

    I have been going here for over 25years. Best Thai food by far. Small operation with excellent fresh food prepared in their small kitchen. If you like spicy just ask and you will be sweating in short time.

    I've been going here all my life, and my Mom even longer (25+ years). Great food, family-owned, wholesome environment. The people are so kind. Small place you wouldn't expect much from at first but I have nothing but good memories here.

    I've gotten the gai ga prow the ground chicken with chilli and basil and it's pretty damn good! I was a bit concerned at first because of the looks didn't look too appetizing but overall it was really good. Just put it on top of your rice and there's a good meal. I've bought there rice from here too and I don't think I'd recommend it. The rice tasted a little too soggy which isn't very enjoying to eat but when I made my own rice it made a huge difference with the entree

    Angel wings were delicious. The garlic pork was a little over cooked. I asked for Thai hot and it was decently spicy but I still added some chili oil. The service was very good and our waiter was very polite and attentive to our table. The restaurant offers the perfect authentic atmosphere of some of my favorite places to eat when traveling in Asia.

    i heard this was the best authentic thai food in sac :) we got the pineapple fried rice, lad/lard na, and tofu tod. pineapple fried rice is AMAZING please get it!!! i didnt know how to feel about the lad na, it was still really good though. its like pad see ew covered in a gravy like consistency broth. personally, i like the sweet flavor of pad see ew more & lad na favored the savory side! the tofu tod was good (fried tofu) and the dipping sauce is like a sweet fish sauce. id go back here to try more of their other dishes and its so inexpensive too!! :)

    I had a blast here! Tiny little place that's super easy to miss, next door to a small market. I had the red curry and BBQ duck. I think it was the #27 on the menu. I got it spicy...uhm...it's spicy! And delicious! I'll be by again for sure! Thanks guys!

    My food tasted and smelled like raw sewage. I am not being dramatic or sarcastic. I only had one bite and almost vomited! I think they need to be investigated by the health dept!

    Best Thai food in town, hands down. Small dining room, very homey, if your looking for a white tablecloth dining experience eat at home, if you're interested in awesome food Pattaya is it.

    I recently had the pleasure of dining at Pattaya Thai Cuisine in Sacramento and I can confidently say that it was a fantastic experience. I decided to try their pad Thai, and it did not disappoint. The pad Thai at Pattaya Thai Cuisine was simply amazing. The flavors were well-balanced and the dish had the perfect combination of sweetness, tanginess, and a slight hint of spice. The noodles were cooked to perfection, with just the right amount of chewiness. Additionally, the portion size was generous, ensuring that I left the restaurant feeling completely satisfied. The service at Pattaya Thai Cuisine was also exceptional. The staff members were attentive, friendly, and made sure that all our needs were met. The ambiance of the restaurant was cozy and inviting, creating a pleasant atmosphere for a delightful meal. I must also mention that the prices at Pattaya Thai Cuisine are reasonable, considering the quality and portion size of the dishes. You truly get great value for your money here. Overall, I highly recommend Pattaya Thai Cuisine in Sacramento, especially if you're a fan of pad Thai. The dish was delicious and the overall dining experience was excellent. I will definitely be returning to try more of their authentic Thai cuisine in the future.

    The food here is amazing. So very yummy.. staff is friendly and welcoming. Not very big inside so don't expect to take the big family for dine in. But date night is excellent..

    Such a cute mom and pop shop! It’s a very small restaurant. The prices here are actually so cheap like nothing I saw was over $15 a plate and I was afraid the prices weren’t updated because of inflation but our total only came up to $36 for 3 people. I would recommend the lunch specials and OMG THE THAI COFFEE AND TEA!! Those were def the star of the food. For the lunch specials they were flavorful but the pork is a very small portion compared to the other meat. Some of the food items are def a hit or miss like the drunken noodles but the experience as a whole was good! The service was the best part. The old woman always working is adorable. She gave a homeless man water for free and when we were ready to leave she packed our leftovers for us. But yeah I give it a 4/5 rating

    Feels like you are in Thailand. Food was not my favorite but it may be more like homemade.

    We have been coming her about 27 years. It’s one of my favorites. I love the Penang curry and the Larb.

    2nd worst Thai food I've ever had. The worst is the one in reno but that's another story. Drunken noodles????? Where are the noodles.... maybe 4 pieces of noodles only. Smh..... food is very bland and no good. Boat noodle is oversalted and overpower with asian star spice. Stuffed chicken wings are super dry. They serve food in paper plates. Lol....

    I love a good mad kee mao. This one is so good and packed with flavor. We tried the chicken and the beef. Both were exceptional. Just the right amount of flavor and spice. The portions are also a good size. Can't wait to go back and try more!
