I'm going to give them 5 stars mostly because of the food... I had better, more attentive service at other places during my stay but the food here is unreal. Make sure you get the sushi and the potsticker. Wish I had a pic of the potstickers but I do of the sushi! I highly recommend this restaurant and would definitely come back! See below.

Food: We ordered yellow chicken curry, tofu pad Thai and papaya salad. Our server brought over…read moreyucca chips with a dip on the house. All the dishes were absolutely delicious! The papaya was the perfect balance of lime and the added basil along with other veggies gave it a wonderful freshness and delightful taste in our mouths. The pad Thai was perfection as well. We asked for the curry to be extra spicy and they delivered. We cleared out our plates completely. The Thai food here is wonderful and I highly recommend you stop by. Prices are American but the food is worth it. Service: All the servers were friendly and very helpful. They all helped each other out, unlike some places that leave the section to the assigned server. The service provided was wonderful. They were all very attentive. Ambiance: This establishment is decorated so cute and gives you "high end" vibes. You can elect to eat inside or outside while you observe people walking by. Stop by and treat yourself, you won't regret it.

Last night we had dinner at Po Thai - Restaurante on 10th and 14. We really enjoyed it and would…read moredefinitely go back! We had: -Veggie Summer Rolls-very fresh and crunchy and the two sauces they came with were both very good. -Beef Green Curry-really enjoyed the curry flavor and veggies. The beef was a bit tough, kind of common here... -Chicken Pineapple Fried Rice-my favorite! Super tasty and good chicken. -Drinks-my margarita was one of the best I've ever had! Hubby also liked his Mai Tai. -Spiciness-we asked for "very spicy" which is their step below "Thai spicy." It delivered big time! Also the homemade chili sauce (sambol) they bring to the table was no joke, proceed with caution! Service was very good and our server spoke flawless English. Overall, I would highly recommend!

Babe's has been on my list to try for literally years, and a dinner with friends staying in the…read morearea got us there. They were open in a different location before, closed for a while, and opened again at 15th and 8, across from the Palacio Municipal. The restaurant is nice, comfortable and covered in pin up girl art. Service was friendly and our server spoke English well. The menu is mostly different Asian dishes-Thai, Vietnamese, Indian-with a couple of European options thrown in. My group all ordered appetizers to share and Asian entrees (Thai curry, curry noodles, Pad Thai), and everyone was happy. My favorite appetizer was the dumplings, but the samosas and satay were also good. My entree was red curry noodles with chicken. The regular size was a lot of food, with very tasty sauce and well cooked chicken and veggies. The grilled pineapple was a nice addition. The spice level was hot enough for me, but the addition of their house habanero sauce kicked it up nicely. The premium margaritas were also good. I would definitely go again and will enjoy the leftovers.

After several of the restaurants were packed on a busy Friday night, we found Babes! As soon as we…read morewere seated, then others packed the place. The menu is focused on their specialty, HOMEMADE noodles! So delicious. We ordered 4 different dishes, all were scrumptious. The friendly server made great recommendations. The pad thai was a bit more savory but tasty, it was my favorite.  The garlic peanut noodles had a thick sauce and was good. The other favorite was the green curry noodles, light and flavorful! The best place to enjoy a yummy meal. We ate outdoors with a view of the Christmas decorations in the city Square and inside there was a vibrant d.j. with muted dance music, excellent vibes! Excellent service, food and ambiance.

This is the worst "Thai" food we have ever had. A home chef with a google recipe could do better…read more This spot is nestled into the tourist area, looks super cute, and seems to have everything going for it, but it's not worth it. We ordered two coconut cocktails and they tasted and felt like they had no alcohol, just loads of sugar. Then we had dinner and both dishes we had were not good. The grouper was at least acceptable but the pad kee mao was baaad. Service was inattentive and overall this was the worst food we've had on our trip so far. It's also expensive, about $40 USD, which is more than we have spent on other places we enjoyed. Would not recommend. Go somewhere else!! And also we probably should have known better to try Thai in PDC..sticking with Mexican cuisine for the rest of our trip.

Ambience & service was nice. Tofu pad thai was just sauce and noodles plus disappointingly small…read more Broccoli stir fry was perfectly cooked but the chicken added was meh.

It was a nice night so we sat outside as inside was much warmer as it appears they don't have air conditioner indoors. The wait staff are very professional and attentive. We ordered the spring roll starter and tom yum soup. The spring roll was definitely fresh and came with two dipping sauces, one spicy and one sweet. The soup was spicy and a very good size portion. We had three dishes. The Panang chicken was good but very spicy and the portion was on the small side. Without the appetizer, you would be hungry after the meal. The kaprao with crispy pork had great flavor but part seemed like pork rind. The other dish was a stir fry rice with shrimp. Again good flavor and a good size portion. Worth a visit when in PDC.

Our date night in Centro last weekend included dinner at SushiClub Playa del Carmen, which kind of…read morecame down middle of the road for me. To be honest, I normally avoid places with lots of Philly cream cheese rolls, but with hamachi sashimi on the menu we decided to give it a try. We had: Hamachi Sashimi thin cut-it was really thin, I would get thick cut if going again. But the fish was of good quality and tasty. Tuna Serranito-very spicy with decent quality tuna. A good dish. New York Tuna Roll-basic roll with decent fish, but the rice was very dry. Grey Goose Martinis-tasted watered down. Service however was quite good. Would I return? Maybe. It was a decent sushi meal (I have definitely had worse). But I am hoping there is better out there in Playa.

Servers were slow considering half the restaurant was empty. Drinks tasted water down. Came here for Sunday 50% off rolls (only valid for their sushi club rolls, vegetarian rolls and hot rolls) Rolls were meh, kinda bland, didn't really wow me. I most likely wouldn't go back, good thing we had the 50% promo, definitely don't think it's worth the full price.
