Our kitchen
Freshest ingredients, richest spices
Pad Thai Café serves only authentic food to entice all Thai food lovers, using only the freshest ingredients and richest spices to bring out the best flavors.
While Thai food is traditionally spicy, we offer different degrees of seasoning in our recipes to satisfy all preferences. A varied selection assures there is always something for everyone — vegetarian and gluten free versions of most noodles, curries, entrées and fried rice included.
Order it your way
Every dish, from 1 to 5 — or Thai Hot
Thai food is traditionally spicy. We cook to the number you give us, so the table can share one order of green curry and everyone still gets what they wanted.
