" I had such an enjoyable experience at PAI Uptown! The moment we walked in, the vibrant decor and bustling atmosphere set the stage for what turned out to be a fantastic dinner. We shared the Khao Soi and the Pad Thai, and I must say, the flavors were on point. The Khao Soi had a rich, creamy broth that was perfectly spiced, while the Pad Thai was simply the best I've ever had in Toronto. The only downside was the service—it was a bit slow, but our server was friendly and attentive, so it didn't ruin our night. Overall, I highly recommend this place if you're in the mood for authentic Thai food. Can't wait to return again! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited PAI Uptown last weekend and was quite impressed with the ambiance and the food selection. I ordered the Tom Yum soup and the Pad Gra Prow, both of which were delicious. The soup had a lovely sour and spicy taste, just as it should be! However, I found the portion of the Pad Gra Prow to be a bit small for the price. On the other hand, the service was friendly but could use some improvement; we waited a bit long for our drinks. Overall, a good spot, but I might try somewhere else next time if I can find a better value for my money. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to PAI Uptown last week and was eager to try their renowned Pad Thai. The ambiance was enchanting, though a bit loud for my liking. The dish itself was good but lacked the authenticity I was hoping for. I also had the Mango Coconut mousse, which was divine! In terms of service, it felt like it could be improved; we waited quite a bit for our main courses. That being said, I might give it another visit, hoping for a more aligned experience next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall, I thought PAI Uptown was a wonderful experience. The decor was beautiful and unique, and the staff seemed very welcoming. We had a variety of dishes, including the Chicken Satay and the Massaman Curry. The curry was rich and satisfying, though I wished for a bit more heat. The chicken was juicy and well-flavored, making the experience delightful. The only downside was the waiting time for food, especially considering how busy they were. Nonetheless, it’s definitely a place I would recommend to friends looking for a nice atmosphere and delicious food. " (*Curated Review*)

" PAI Uptown is a gem! After hearing so much about it, I decided to take my friends for a dinner outing. The space is large and beautifully decorated. We started with some crispy spring rolls, which were perfectly fried and not overly oily. For mains, the highlight for me was the Chef Nuit's Pad Thai; it was truly authentic and not too sweet as you find in many other places. The ambiance is lively, a bit too loud at times, but it adds to the overall excitement of the dining experience. Our server was knowledgeable, which helped us choose the right dishes. If you’re craving authentic Thai food, PAI is the place to be! " (*Curated Review*)

" Having tried various Thai restaurants over the years, I can say PAI Uptown is up there! I had the signature Pad Thai and it was delicious; the flavors were true to authentic Thai food without being overly sweet. The decor felt lively and friendly, and overall the atmosphere really made it a great dining experience. Service could be improved, as we waited a while to place our order, but our food came out fairly quickly once we did order. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this place to anyone looking for great Thai food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I wasn't very familiar with Thai cuisine, but PAI Uptown made me a fan! The server was very informative and helped me choose the classic Pad Thai. The flavors were well balanced, and it truly felt authentic compared to other places I've been. The atmosphere was vibrant, but I found myself needing to raise my voice to talk during dinner, which felt a bit awkward. Overall, I had a great experience but would suggest visiting during less busy hours. " (*Curated Review*)
