" I heard about Prael from a friend and finally made a visit last week. The food truly did not disappoint. I loved how authentic everything tasted! The staff was friendly and attentive, enhancing the experience. I’ll be recommending this place to all my friends and family! " (*Curated Review*)

" Prael holds a special place in my heart. Over the years, I’ve tried numerous dishes and loved every single one. Their mango sticky rice brings back fond memories of my travels in Thailand. The only downside could be the long wait time during peak hours, but I guess that just shows how popular they are! " (*Curated Review*)

" When I first walked into Prael, I was taken aback by its simple, unpretentious interior. However, the food completely stole the show! My favorites included the gang pah and shrimp rolls, both brimming with flavors. I appreciate that their dishes aren't overly sweet like many Americanized Thai spots. It's a gem for anyone looking for authenticity. I did experience a bit of a wait for my food, but it was worth it. " (*Curated Review*)

" This is our go-to Thai restaurant! The food is consistently fresh and always delivers on flavors. We love the combination of traditional options and some house specials. The ambiance is cozy, which makes it great for family dinners. Treat yourself to the mango sticky rice - it's divine! " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious food, decent service, and a cozy environment - Prael has it all! The menu features a variety of authentic Thai dishes that you wouldn't want to miss. I really enjoyed the spicy basil chicken. While the restaurant can get a bit busy, the atmosphere is lively. Highly recommend for anyone seeking genuine Thai flavors! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had dinner at Prael last week and it was quite delightful. The staff was friendly, and the food came out promptly. The chicken curry was comforting, and the flavors were wonderfully complex. Pricing is fair given the quality of the food. Looking forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I try to dine here whenever we are in town, and it never disappoints! Each visit, we try to order something new, and we've loved everything: from the appetizers to the desserts. Their mango sticky rice is to die for! The ambiance is lively, and it's always bustling, which gives it a good vibe. " (*Curated Review*)
