This place is where it's at! Fresh Thai food that's not greasy and tastes authentic. They are gluten free friendly and tasty to boot! The Fresh Spring Rolls were divine and packed full of fresh ingredients... The rice paper was nice and flexible, not dried out like other places sometimes make them. The Shrimp Noodle Soup was HUGE, even when split! And VERY good! The Pad See Ew with Fish sauce versus Oyster sauce made it GF. Their noodles are the widest I've seen and BOY were they delish!!! The fried rice was prepared hot and fresh...combo was a nice touch and quite yummy! They added a cute little shop up front for neat Asian food and gift items to go. Love the family owned feel. Kim was warm, welcoming and took good care of us! read more

Pattaya Thai is a cozy neighborhood spot located in the heart of Mount Pleasant. We've been coming here for at least 15 years for authentic Thai dishes, served up in a comfortable, low key setting. Located at the south end of the Aldi-anchored shopping center on Johnnie Dodds Blvd, there's always plenty of free parking. The menu is large with lots of options for sharing. There's a full bar, but hub always goes for the Sapporo. We started with yummy Spring rolls wrapped in clear rice paper stuffed with sprouts, lettuce, rice noodles, shrimp and pork. We both enjoyed the creamy peanut dipping sauce. Our stir fry dishes ... his, with beef and mine, with pork, were fabulous. The huge portions, loaded with lots of protein, tender celery, bell peppers, snow peas, basil leaves, mushrooms and scallions were gently kissed with fish and oyster sauces and arrived at our table, quickly. The meal came with a more than ample side of brown rice. Preparation can be from no added spice to five star Thai spice. I'm at a two ... hub, a four. At this visit, eggplant was a special so of course, I did not hesitate to add my favorite vegetable to the dish. Prices are fair. Service is always spot on with Kim, often stopping by our table to top off our water. If it's been a while, go back ... if you haven't been, go! read more

My last review was during take away only times. So I thought it was time for an update with a dine in experience. Delicious and authentic Vietnamese and Thai favorites at a fair price. Our server Kim was helpful and friendly. Food came out quickly but we never felt rushed. Portions enough to share or take home for lunch. Noodle salad, Pad Thai, and Fresh Spring Rolls are favorites. They even have happy hour special. read more

Kind, hard working staff but food was just okay. Was hard to find this restaurant since their sign was not lit up at night. It is on the corner next to Project Lean Nation. Once we got inside, the interior was cute; has a nice, family style feeling to it. There were only two workers running the full floor and they were definitely putting their steps in. Unfortunately the food was pretty so-so. The Pad Thai was very sweet and didn't have the most pleasant taste in my opinion. The green curry had a hard abrasive spice that overpowered any other flavor. I'm not sure if it's possible to get it in a lower spice level. Overall I was looking for more complex, balanced flavor profiles that you often find in great Thai cuisine. read more

I came across this place last minute and I was pleasantly surprised. They offered a small happy hour menu but I did not indulge in any alcohol that day lol! My server came over right away and I told her I was in a rush so she took my order quickly. Fresh spring rolls - 4/5 I did enjoy these, I may be critical but I just wish the sauce had more of a peanut flavor and not just hoisin. And the pieces of pork I got was very lean and a bit dry. But when I ate it with the sauce everything tasted good together. The pad Thai I got level 3 spice. I thought this spice was moderate and I actually added a bit more of their house chili flakes and sriracha for an extra kick but I think anyone who likes a bit of spice would enjoy that level. It was a massive portion and I thought the flavors were on point! I had mine with extra bean sprouts bc I love the crunchy texture, the eggs and beef were so good. I would've liked the noodles to be a touch more al dente but overall it was a solid pad Thai! I am looking forward to coming back! read more

Since it was close to the restaurant's closing, we chose to get takeout. While we didn't dine in, the customer service we experienced while ordering our food and waiting for it to be prepared was phenomenal. I ordered the chicken Vietnamese noodle salad. It is difficult to tell from my photo but the portion was large! I was so grateful because the food tasted amazing! If I'm ever in the area again I would order this again. read more

Pattaya thai is one of the best Thai restaurants in Charleston. Only a short drive from downtown and with plenty of parking and options it is very convenient for a casual last minute dinner or pick up. The portions are excellent and In always leave with leftovers , all for a competitive price . I love their big pot soups (tom kah with shrimp is a must, and their panang curry is also amazing) The service is always cordial and fast. cannot recommend enough. read more

Ordered delivery for one person, so didn't get to sample much from the menu. What I did have, however, was delicious. A veggie spring roll (which can be hit or miss at Thai restaurants), and a super fresh Pad Thai that was really flavorful. Can't speak to other dishes or a dine-in experience, but for delivery food that came hot and was really good, I give them a thumbs up! read more

Pattaya Thai Restaurant - Pad Thai with chicken - Thai Near Me - Mount Pleasant, South Carolina

Very tasty Thai food! As someone who has lived in SE Asia and has visit Thailand multiple times, they make some yummy dishes. The chicken/shrimp fried rice had great flavor and was cooked well. The pad Thai was different than most pad Thai I have had. It was a bit too sour, but still had a unique flavor. The several GF options made this an easy place for us to find several things on the menu that we liked. We will certainly be back to try some of the other Thai dishes. read more

As you walk in, you're greeted with a smile. The locally owned and family friendly restaurant has been around a long time. The decorations are nice. There are plenty of gluten free options on the menu. The food is very delicious. The menu has vegetarian options too. The staff is very accommodating for Gluten Intolerance and Celiac. The spring rolls are amazing! There's plenty of parking. Overall, it's a quiet atmosphere and there's a cool soundtrack. :) read more

I've tried every Thai restaurant in Charleston and the Tom Yum and Tom Ka soups at Pattaya Thai are the best I've had in the area. There are 2 sizes of soups you can order and I recommend the larger size because it's only like $5 more so it's better value, the larger size is good to share. These soups are packed with flavor, full of veggies and meat of choice (I prefer the shrimp or seafood). I've also tried the curries here and they are solid, good flavor and they can make it really spicy if you ask. Overall this is a great place to eat at or order take out from! read more

Ordered take out from here today. Delicious! It doesn't seem to be completely Thai, maybe a little Asian fusion. But it is delectable. The shrimp pad Thai had a delicious flavor with thinner noodles than typical pad thai. But the flavor was on pointe. The yum squid and shrimp salad was enormous and perfectly balanced with salt, sour, sweet and spice. The crab soup had a similar base to egg drop soup with crab mixed in, heavenly. My son ordered pad see ew - delicious slightly different noodles than typical pad see ew but same flavor profile. And the beef satay was tender and juicy. Loved everything. read more

Good food for takeout, never dined in. Would recommend for anyone to grab late night or just if you don't want to cook. Definitely enjoyed

This place was good, although I do wish they had drunken noodles on the menu. I got the pad see ew which was heavy on the veggies and while I love veggies, there weren't that many noodles... my husband got the fried rice which was delicious and full of lots of flavors. Spice levels were on point as well! We also shared the egg rolls which were pretty good. read more

We've been here 12 years, this is the best Thai restaurant you can find in Charleston!

Wonderful place to eat! Food is delicious and the staff is efficient and friendly! We go often and will continue to do so!

In my opinion, Pattaya is the best Thai restaurant in the area. My wife always orders the Shrimp Pad Thai and my go to is the Yellow Curry Shrimp. The shrimp on both our orders are always cooked perfectly (never overcooked). The service is fast and the prices are reasonable. I'd highly recommend Pattaya Thai Restaurant! read more

Pretty decent and unassuming Thai food off 17 in a quiet corner of a shopping center. I have done both takeout and dine-in. An extra point for being one of the only Thai restaurants open for lunch in Mount Pleasant. Staple dishes like Pad Thai, Pad See Ew and yellow curry are satisfying, but not spectacular. If you want Massaman, you have to order off menu. Service has always been friendly and quick. A consistently solid option. (3.25 stars). read more

We were in Mount Pleasant visiting family and sought out authentic quality Thai food. We live in an area known for good Thai restaurants so kind of snobbishly did not expect it to exceed our expectations. But it did!!! Clean, welcoming vibe and quick service of really fresh delicious food. I had the Pattaya shrimp and my spouse had Panang curry. Both were really delicious. I highly recommend a visit. It's delicious, fast and well priced!! Kudos to this new addition to the Mt Pleasant dining scene!!! read more

In my quest to find a local restaurant to satisfy my pho craving, I came across Pattaya on Yelp. It was a semi-late lunch, so the place wasn't super crowded. My server was friendly and prompt. I ordered my usual duo - fresh spring rolls and chicken pho (called chicken soup with rice noodles here). There's one spring roll per order here, which I appreciated because I usually feel like I just *have* to devour the entire order of spring rolls (usually 2-3 at other places I've gone too). So this smaller order kept me from stuffing my face. The spring roll's ingredients were fresh. The pho was just okay. I've had better, but I've also had worse. My quest for the best pho in Charleston continues, but at least there's an option if I don't want to venture out of Mount Pleasant. read more

Pattaya Thai is just like the other reviews state: a hidden gem. I lived in Mount Pleasant from 1992 - 2014 and only recently tried this place out. My only reasonable explanation for that could be related to not necessarily noticing it after driving past it so many times throughout my life along with a combination of only in recent years (i.e., early adulthood) developing a taste for Thai food, specifically. That said, once I realized this place was there, I went and tried it out. The first time I went several years ago with a friend, I was so pleasantly surprised. We ordered fried vegetarian spring rolls and some type of noodles (I think pad see-iw), along with an exceptionally delicious dessert that was on special, coconut ice cream with fried bananas. Literally divine. So good that I ordered some to-go to bring home for my parents to try. After trying this place several years ago, I've recommended it to other locals who now order from there often. I've never heard anyone say something negative about this place in any regard. Since I do not live in Mt. Pleasant currently, I do not get to visit here as much as I would like. When visiting earlier this month, I took my dad here. He ordered cashew chicken, and I ordered Panang Curry chicken. Both meals were served promptly and were delicious to us both. The portions were large and made for great leftovers the following day. Others dining in the restaurant had soup orders that appeared especially inviting, so I would like to try in the future. The prices are reasonable and I seriously want anyone reading this review to try this restaurant immediately. Bring your friends. Bring your family. The restaurant is quaint and quiet, and the food is exceptional. The waitstaff is kind and friendly.

Pattaya Thai Restaurant - Vegetable stir-fry rice noodles - Thai Near Me - Mount Pleasant, South Carolina

Horrible. Wanted to change it up for once since I usually order from Basil; it was a huge mistake. If you're looking for good Thai food this isn't it. No flavor to the food and it wasn't fresh. Not pictured but we ordered the "fresh" spring rolls, chicken pad Thai, Tom Yom Soup, and Chicken and Broccoli. For $60 in food I was extremely disappointed, didn't eat more than two bites of anything and it went into the trash. Wouldn't recommend. read more

the food was good and authentic the staff were nice and the atmosphere was very friendly

Delicious Pad Thai available at this little hole in the wall in the Mount Pleasant area. Most people do take out but the staff who wait on you in house are great too. You get massive amounts of food. Literally everything is delicious. Bathrooms are clean and there is a unisex option. Handicap accessible as it is in a strip mall. Plenty of parking because of the parking lot. read more

The best pad Thai I've ever had in Charleston!! So much flavor. We also had the egg rolls, a glass of "plum wine" and spring rolls. Everything was phenomenal. The service was helpful and attentive as well. Don't pass this spot up! P.s. ask for a side of the peanut sauce -- it's excellent! read more

Ok to confess I'm on a bit of a Thai food kick these days I can't get enough Tom kha soup these days and sweet rice or mango sticky rice and curry.

Delightfully surprised to find what could be the best Shrimp Pad Thai in town . I was there for a late lunch early dinner. So other than another couple, I was the only other customer. Service was perfect and portions were more than adequate. I ordered mine a precautionary spicy, although I may crank it up next time, it's probably not necessary. It's been awhile since I've frequented the other local source for pad Thai but I don't recall it being quite this good. It's in a corner of a strip mall but don't judge a book by its cover. If you want good food , try this place. If you want to pay for ambience, try plan B read more
