    I was told about this place by many friends but I do not see the hype. Tried to make a reservation on Valentines Day but nothing was available until March so I decided to take the reservation because apparently reservations are so exclusive at this place. I got the pad thai and sad to say it was just average. It was pretty dry. Thai spicy is actually really spicy. The presentation was not pretty at all. Just looked slapped on the plate. Asked for extra veggies and it literally looked like it came from a frozen vegetable bag. My boyfriend got the pad gra pao which was actually pretty good but also not so good presentation. Thai iced tea was good but a lot of ice. The place is small and not nice looking. Our table and chairs looked like it belongs from an elementary school. Overall I think this place is over rated.

    The food and service were both exceptional. Our server, Makeda, was lovely. She was patient and knowledgeable and made great recommendations. She was very attentive and helpful. even doing the small things to make the visit that much better.

    Pai never disappoints. Delicious food offering, served by an efficient team, in a lively atmosphere - all at a reasonable price. The only difficulty is deciding what to order from their extensive selection!

    Delicious food, amazing vibes, lots of vegan options, and good for nut allergies. They have peanuts on the menu but no other nuts, and they are very conscious of allergies.
