Pad Thai Restaurant

Everyone is friendly and willing to give advice on my to-​go orders. For instance, Pad Thai wasn’t recommended since I had told the lady it might need to be re-​heated. She said a wider noodle like a Pad See Ew would hold up better. It’s the same price, so it wasn’t like she wanted to up-​sell me.
The food is always done on time and the people were nice enough to run my credit card number even when I forgot my wallet at home. All in all, I’ve been there about 6 times and never really had anything to complain about. It’s always legit food.
One con — Seems like a more family-​run business and doesn’t have a hand-​out menu. Sometimes I call in orders while at the gym. I have to look onto the website to get the info. It would be easier if I had a menu on hand.

First time coming in here. Small spot, but plenty of tables and has traditional decoration all around. I was indecisive about getting the lemon chicken or red chicken curry for a lunch special, so i asked for their suggestion. Told me to go with the red chicken curry. Lunch special comes with a salad, soup, egg roll, rice, and your choice of entrée. The food gets you full and it is pretty good! Only for fall is the wait, but I think that’s just because I came in during the lunch rush. All in all, a definite recommendation to eat at when in the area.

Normally thai good isn’t prepared great. This place. sets the standard for me. I got the lunch special chow mein. Loved it. My new favorite chinese /​thai food.

Here’s the heart of the matter – stop in here if you’re in the Charleston & Rancho area near UMC and are looking for quick, inexpensive Asian-​American lunch specials, and friendly service. You’ll like this place. $ 6.95 lunch specials offer a cup of hot & sour or egg drop soup, a small iceberg lettuce salad, with a moderately sized entrée. I had the chicken panang lunch special which was filled with thin slices of tender chicken breast in a coconut milk curry sauce and walked away satisfied, with time to run an errand and money to spare. If you want fancier, traditional Thai, you already know to check Unilocal for other options.

Just ate the combination pad Thai spice level #4 out of 5. I give it a 7 for price/​value. They charge an extra $ 3 for combination pork, chicken, shrimp. Paid over $ 11 for this plate. Maybe it’s the noodles. They use the very thin rice noddles (see picture) and I may not be a huge fan of this noodle. A solid 7 on taste. Most Thai places I’ve eaten at serve a generous portion of the bean sprouts and sprinkle of peanuts. These items were almost non-​existent in this plate.

The traditional décor and atmosphere give the sense that a family owns this restaurant and everyone likes a home cooked meal. They must also be very fun, judging by the disco ball and karaōke set up in the corner. I was greeted by teeth and multiple voices emitting from the corner, welcoming me to their home away from home.
Upon reading the menu, I was happy to see a wide range of choices and flavors to explore. I decided that I would order the pad ke mow and compare to the many I’ve had. I was presented with a generous portion of my favorite dish and pleased with the flavor and level of spice. I didn’t really like the garnish of lettuce surrounding my pile of perfection, but I ate it anyway. 1 out of my two refills came without effort, which is more than I can say for some others.
I have decided that it is a place that I wouldn’t mind experiencing again if it happened to cross my path, only to try some other dishes. But I wouldn’t drive across town for it.

I order red curry from the lunch special the serving was to small. I understand its a lunch special but in other places they serve a little bit more. When I order red curry the lady didn’t even ask me how spicy do yoi want it. So I ask the guy that was cleaning the tables do you offer spicy level here from 1 to 10 he said yes 1 to 5 so I told him I wanted a 5 when it came out it was not even spicy. A other thing when I got my egg roll, salad and soup with the lunch special the spoon for the soup had a stain on it like it hasn’t been wash so I ask for a other spoon. Also nobody came to my assistant’s till I finish my food didn’t ask me for water or anything esle while I was eating. I rather go to a other thai place to go eat. There’s other places that serve good thai food. I gave it 2 stars because I eat the curry and rice that was ok but not grear. There thai ice tea was good. We’ll good luck on your visit there.

For real, a tiny little hole-​in-​the-​wall type place. Tiny! But does have quite a few tables, and the lunch rush is probably when it’s most busiest here at Pad Thai Restaurant.
Came with the wifey for a quick weekday lunch, opting for one of their various specials for only $ 6.95. With the lunch special you get: choice of several different entrees, fried rice, hot & sour or egg drop soup, and a small house salad. Not a bad deal per se, but with the number of all-​you-​can-​eat Chinese buffets around this area, Pad Thai Restaurant does fight for patrons. Just saying!
Their lunch service is quick, you really can be in and out of the restaurant within 30 minutes. I had the lunch special of their Kungpao Chicken, and it was a bit underwhelming. The portion size was OK, I would have expected more on the plate. The flavor was good and not overly salty, but there were too many undercooked & crunchy carrots and celery in the dish. Not enough time in the wok! The over crunch made the dish texture somewhat off. Not my favorite dish, should have gone with their namesake and ordered the pad thai! Their fried rice was very good though even if it was a simple interpretation, I think a touch of fish sauce may be what adds flavor to it. The egg roll? Tasty! I was surprised, it might actually be fresh made instead of frozen. Props to that. The hot & sour soup was also a surprise, it was indeed hot AND sour, but not overpowering on either end. Even the simple salad was good with their house dressing. If I had to guess there is some mayonnaise in it. Tip, add some black pepper to the salad, kicks it up a flavor notch. Overall I enjoyed the side dishes with the lunch special more than the entrée itself, hence the lower star rating. It’s partially my fault though, why order a Chinese dish in a Thai establishment? Next time I will stay with Thai! Maybe a curry!
‘Thai’ this place out for a fast, easy lunch!

Food was pretty good. Wish the portions were larger for the lunch special. I wasn’t impressed overall. But the wait staff were nice!

Great lunch specials. Super quick service. Good was really good. Got chicken Pad Thai at a three and it wasn’t very spicy. Probably the best in the area that I’ve had.

I really love the calming and light atmosphere located in the Smith’s Shopping Center on Rancho Ln near Charleston. I lunched here with a co-​worker. She had the lemon chicken lightly battered served with a rice, salad and soup. Very delicious. I had the larb with chicken. Amazing – one of the best I have found in Las Vegas. Very fresh, with fresh mint leaves and cilantro. I will dine here regularly!

We’ve had food delivered here at work from them for years. Always good with dependable delivery. Good lunch specials everyday. Never been in the restaurant though.

It was my suggestion to change it up for lunch for the offices Thai Thursday. This tucked away spot nestled in the far corner of a busy shopping complex makes for a parking challenge only experienced during the holiday season in popular shopping locations. With surgical centers in close proximity, you will have to slow roll through a gauntlet of wheel chairs and walkers that is reminiscent of a zombie apocalypse.
Once a parking spot was secured we walked into a clean restaurant with an eager to please staff. We were seated immediately and had drinks in minutes. The lunch specials are priced at 6.95 and it is a generous portion. I had the chicken fried rice lunch special with a spicy level of 3 out of 5. The meal was two clicks above mediocre. As I muscled through the meal the proverbial mind screw kicked in when my friend, who ordered the same thing, spit out an object. This object was undoubtedly a good size chunk of brill o. At that same moment my other friend who ordered the same dish had a puzzled look on his face. As he worked the unknown item to the front of his mouth, he retrieved it and looked at it as if it was a riddle. Perplexed we were as we tried to identify this alien object that could have been anything from petrified chewing gum to a chicken bone. Check please! Lunch was over. We notified the staff and they were genuinely embarrassed. They refused to allow us to pay for the imperfect meals. That will be it for me and the Pad Thai Restaurant.

Fast delivery and great food. Tom khaa is better than chicken soup for a cold and this place has great soup loaded with veggies, and creamy coconut milk. Easily some of the best I’ve had. The house fried rice is pretty standard but not at all oily and the meat used is super fresh instead of obvious dried out leftovers like many places use. This is my second order from this restaurant, both times have been excellent value. My new favorite Thai place!

Thank you fellow Unilocalers. In Vegas for work and looking for a good local place to have lunch. Checked Unilocal under best restaurants and this place popped up.
The 5 star reviews are spot on. Here is what I had and reviews:
Panang curry with beef — very tender beef with no fat. Panang was great and tasty and with a spicy of #3 it was perfect. After 3 or 4 bites the heat built up on my tongue.
Tom Ka soup with shrimp — very deep flavor with onions, tomatoes, chicken, mushrooms. Some of the best Tom Ka soup I have ever had.
Pineapple fried rice — never thought raisins in the rice would work but outstanding flavor. Pineapples, cashews, shrimp, roast pork, carrots and scallions this was a delicious mix of Flavors.
One note is that if you order the lunch special the portion is small. Didn’t matter because I ordered so much food but if I just had the lunch special I might have needed to order more.

This place is hidden in the back of a large shopping so you’ve probably driven by and not even realized it. They have $ 7 lunch specials that are very filling and yummy. I had the chicken Pad Thai. The heat-​o-​meter was painfully deceptive! I like heat in my food but decided to be cautious and ordered a Level 1 (their scale is 1 – 5, rather than 1 – 10 like most places). Level 1 gave quite a bit of heat. It wasn’t bad, but I wasn’t prepared for that much heat. I think I’ll order it plain next time but I will most definitely return! Lunch for 2 with drinks for less than $ 20? Can’t go wrong there! Down side? Very few employees so if they get busy then you might be waiting a bit.

This place was recommended by fellow Unilocaler Michelle J. and what a good recommendation it was. We walked in right as they opened at 11 o’clock. We were greeted and seated promptly and provided with menus.
They have a good selection of $ 6.95 lunch options. I opted for the Sweet and Sour Chicken. The lunch special comes with a small little salad and soup in addition to an egg roll. The portion size of the entrée was good and it was served hot and fresh. Lunch for two with beverages was less than $ 19 out the door (not including the tip).
Word on the street is they get really busy during the lunch rush. Get there before noon and that shouldn’t be an issue. I will definitely return and try another dish on the menu. Solid meal and solid service. I’d give it a solid three and a half stars and have no problem rounding up.

No frills hole in the wall Thai restaurant. Have been by here a few times, because it is really close to my office. The main attraction here are the lunch specials that run Monday through Friday from 11 am to 3 pm where you can grab a lunch entrée, egg roll and soup for $ 6.95. Have only been here for dinner once and thought the regular menu was pretty decent and the prices were generally under 10 bucks. I had the pad see ewe ($ 7.95) and although it wasn’t a giant portion, it was enough to fill me up. Overall the food here is good, but there are definitely better Thai places around town. For the convenience and price though, this place will do whenever I’m at work or in the area.

I have to find a better place closer when I work near this location. I keep settling which is not like me. Each time I come back the food is of poor quality and never seems completely to recipe. Service is lacking.

I’m giving this restaurant 5 stars because the service is excellent. 5 stars isn’t always about the food but the service and yes the food is delicious. I always order the same thing, Green Curry Chicken or Beef and the fried shrimp appetizer.
The establishment is clean and very quiet, which I was looking for today.
Highly recommend if you’re in the downtown area or just looking for some good authentic Thai food.
