" I visited PAI for the first time last week and it was an exceptional experience! The atmosphere felt very warm and welcoming, reminiscent of street food restaurants in Thailand. The highlight of my meal was the Khao Soi, which was incredibly rich in flavor. I enjoyed the balance of spices, and the noodles were perfectly cooked. The waiter was also very knowledgeable, recommending the Thai iced tea, which complemented the dish beautifully. I can't wait to return and explore more of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations for PAI, and unfortunately, they weren’t quite met. While it’s clear that many people love this place, I found the curry to be a bit underwhelming. It was creamy but lacked the depth I anticipated. The service, on the other hand, was fantastic as the staff was attentive and friendly. I just wish the food matched the hype. I might try another dish on my next visit to see if I have a different experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been hearing a lot about PAI, and it was wonderful to finally see what the hype is about. The food is seriously delicious, especially the papaya salad, which had an amazing combination of flavors. The atmosphere is energetic but somewhat crowded. I appreciate their commitment to quality, although my only gripe was the longer wait for a table but everything else made up for it. I’ll be back for a second helping soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" What an amazing spot! The Thai flavors were absolutely authentic, and I really appreciated how each dish expressed the culture of Northern Thailand. Our favorites were the pad thai and the green curry. Each bite transported us somewhere exotic. The decor is vibrant and the atmosphere is buzzing. My only complaint is how crowded it can get, but that's just a testament to how popular this place is. I'll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" PAI truly lives up to its reputation! The massaman curry was outstanding and had just the right blend of sweet and savory. I appreciate that they use fresh ingredients that contribute to the authentic taste. The environment is vibrant, but it became quite noisy at times. The wait was a bit long, so I suggest calling ahead to reserve a table if you can. Overall, I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys authentic Thai cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" PAI was a fantastic dining experience! The menu encapsulates authentic Thai cuisine beautifully. My favorite dish was the Khao Soi, which was heavenly! I loved the atmosphere, however, it did feel slightly crowded at times. Nevertheless, our server was fantastic and attentive.
