" I've been to a lot of Asian restaurants, but OBAO stands out for its genuine flavors. The pad Thai was fantastic, reminding me of street food I had during my travels! Adding to that, our server was attentive and had a bright personality. The decor adds a lovely touch to the vibe. I'd recommend this spot to anyone looking for a taste of Asia in the city!
