One star. Avoid this place if you are looking for authentic Thai food. The food was bland, watered down, and tasted more like Americanized Thai food than anything authentic. The vegetables were mushy and overcooked, and the sauces lacked the fresh, bold flavors that Thai food is supposed to have. After reading other reviews, I see that several customers have complained about the same issues, so my experience was not unusual. There are much better Thai restaurants around Rochester. I would not recommend Pattaya Thai and will not be returning. read more

Pattaya Thai food is amazingly fresh and welcoming choice in Penfield. I walked in the door and the place hasn't changed much, but seems since Covid to have increased the amount of To-go business they do as half of the dining space has been designated and seems to have stacks of containers ready to be packed.. The Food was amazing. I had mango chicken, others in my party had pad Thai and spicy curry chicken.. it was amazing, quick, fresh and well priced. We will be back and I would highly recommend to try it out!! read more

I was thinking about this place the other day, but had to really go searching to find the name. Several years ago, I went to visit a friend in Rochester. My family and I had never had Thai food before and this was where my friend's family wanted to go. They love it so much and wanted to share. The inside is beautiful, but the food was the real beauty. We got several dishes to share family style. The panang fish is something my husband and I still talk about a decade later. Now that we live in New York, we always tease that maybe it's worth the 5.5 hour drive to go eat there again. We've had so much great Thai food in the last 10 years, but none of it was as memorable as the panang fish from Pattaya. read more

Such good food! I've never had a meal that was anything less than fantastic. The drunken noodle and pad Thai are great. Also love the calamari appetizer. Highly recommend. read more

After passing this place for years, my son picked up dinner for my birthday. I ordered Chicken Pad Thai, and we shared a order of spring rolls and some Tom Yum soup with shrimp. Both the soup and the spring rolls were great, but the Pad Thai had no discernable sauce or bean sprouts, and a scant amount of peanuts. The slice of lime was inadequate, like 1/2 slice. I wanted to love Pattaya Thai, and am disappointed. read more

It pains me to give a low review, but our experience at Pattaya left us wanting more and made me realize I won't return on future trips back to Rochester. I ordered the Cashew Chicken and my partner got the Pad Prik Khing Beef, we shared the fresh shrimp spring rolls. Overall the food was very mediocre...the meat tasted low quality and rubbery, the white rice was old and had dark grains in it. My partner said the meat tasted boiled. The fresh shrimp spring rolls were 90% old wilted lettuce. The staff was also impatient with us, and seemingly annoyed at every request. We were celebrating my grandmothers birthday as a family and asked them to bring out a cake we brought with us, which irritated them. read more

Pattaya Thai Restaurant - Cashew Chicken - Thai Near Me - Penfield, New York

First time trying their food and it is not terrible and not great. Just average Thai food. Service was good and restaurant is clean. The pad thai didnt have much of a flavor. Tom Yum soup wasn't too great. read more

Great family owned Thai restaurant. Food is always consistent and well-prepared. Service is attentive and prompt.

Very poor customer service. In Town visiting family and ordered dinner. 2 entrees came with tofu when not what we ordered. Was supposed to be chicken. Difficult to communicate over phone to order and when I called back to request credit. Will not go back. read more

Always wonderful. Have never been disappointed. The peanut chicken is absolutely delicious.

Pretty solid Thai food. Got it was takeout. Everything looks the same but the taste was like surprisingly much better than I expected. We got the pad Thai with shrimp. Shrimp looked sketch like the frozen little ones but the taste was like omg this is good! Pad Kee ew wasnt too spicy but flavor and texture of the beef was great. The jungle squid was like pretty amazing. Seafood tasted amazing. Curry was fantastic mixed with the rice. Would highly recommend for anyone trying it out read more

Save your $ and stomach. The food is prepared with the lowest quality ingredients and nothing is freshly made but merely combined. Avoid!

Today we went and enjoyed Chicken Pad Thai from Pattaya Thai Restaurant in Penfield. This is my favorite place to get Pad Thai! My dad showed my brother and I this place when we were younger and they consistently deliver perfect Thai dishes! The food is priced fairly and the smoothies are made fresh!! Highly recommend! read more

Ordered takeout. The food was okay, not very flavorful. We got the pad see ew, tom yum shrimp soup, yellow curry with shrimp and red curry with shrimp. It only came with one thing of rice which was fine with us but maybe not for others. read more

Fresh, friendly, reasonable prices. Try the shumai and the chuchee fish. Fresh spring rolls as well

Excellent service and quick. I ordered Drunken Noodles because I like spicy. However, there was no heat at all. The description said there were jalapeno peppers in the dish. But I only found 2 thin slices in the whole dish. Other than that, it was pretty bland. Very disappointed. read more

Was the Thai Tea good here? I could Taya but I'd have to kill ya. But my father knows, so if you hold on a second, I can have my Pa Taya. This is a review for the Thai Tea only. Which is typical of me, really. I like to try Thai Tea (since I'm so in love with it) at all kinds of Thai restaurants, and then if I love the tea or the service, I'll go back soon and try the Thai Green Curry and other dishes. If I don't love the tea, I still might go back, it will take longer. I was sad that nobody was in here on the day I went. It seems like they're struggling so I feel bad for giving a 3. And if you're in Pitt and you're looking to fix several flats that you have, you're in the wrong place. You were probably looking for PA-tire. But Pattaya scores a 3 for the tea alone, which is actually pretty bad. The cup was super small, and it was filled with mostly ice. The taste of the tea itself reminded me of chemicals. It wasn't awful, so I still had most of it and sort-of enjoyed it, however I didn't finish it (which I would have if I'd liked it, since I was very thirsty). What's more, it cost $3.25, which for such a small cup was too pricey. Of course I didn't like it anyway so I'm okay with it. But if it'd been 1.90 or 2.25 or something, I may have given them a 4 since it wasn't awful and 3 is the lowest rating I give to family businesses. And if your feet are sore, why not go and see a Pattayatrist. And if you get involved in a hot steamy encounter in the bathroom here, is that a Pattaya-tryst? Yes. read more

For all the years that Pattaya has been here, I've only recently ventured inside. I was recently looking for a place to take a friend for lunch, and we decided that Thai would be good, and Pattaya was close. We arrived just around 11:45 for lunch. The parking lot was fairly empty and we were lucky to get a booth. As soon as noon rolled around, the place filled up. That's always a good sign. I ordered a Pad Prik Pao with Chicken lunch special. The meal came with a small portion of tom yum soup, and the speed at which the food came out was exceptional. My friend ordered a pad thai and was really happy with it. I also ordered a thai iced tea - but I wasn't in love with it. It was much sweeter than some of the others I've had at various restaurants, and not spicy enough. Our server was pleasant, and I can offer no real complaints. Even thought the decor is somewhat out of date, it is still pleasant and sitting in a booth was really favorable. I always hate having to pull out left onto 441 - and this is the biggest complaint I have. At lunch time or rush hour, its quite difficult. I ended up doing a right turn and back tracking. read more

Pattaya Thai Restaurant - #14 - Thai Near Me - Penfield, New York

I've eaten at Pattaya many times and I'm finally getting around to writing a review! First off, I only get the Panang curry...whether it's chicken, veggie, shrimp & spring rolls- so I can't speak to any of the other entrees but I'm sure they're delicious. The restaurant is clean & service is fast. One of my favorite take out places in Penfield. Tip- I always ask for more veggies in my panang! The coconut sauce is just so so good. I crave it so much it's uncontrollable. read more

Pattaya Thai Restaurant - Panang curry- no tofu - Thai Near Me - Penfield, New York

Pattaya Thai is a very nicely decorated restaurant on the main street in Penfield, with a very traditional and respectful family ambience. My friend and I visited early (like before 5pm) on a Sunday to get in a little dinner before a walk in Corbett's Glen in the sunshine. We were the only ones there when we arrived. The service was super fast and the server was accommodating in offering us a range of spice levels to choose from (1 through 5, for both our appetizer and the main dish). For an appetizer, we had the som tom (shredded green papaya with lime juice and ground peanut, along with lettuce wraps to eat it with) which as you can imagine was quite sour but delicious. This comes vegetarian and I would recommend it. For the entree, I had the gaeng masaman curry (yellow curry & coconut stewed with sweet potato and peanuts, also vegetarian), which I really enjoyed. I know this is a popular dish but I have not had it before, so I could not say how it compares to that of other establishments. The bill came to $35 altogether before tip, which was a little pricey compared to take-out, but for how lavish and comfortable the setting was, and how nice the surface, was entirely reasonable. My only complaint was that I thought our server seemed a little rude at times (although it may have just been a confusion in communication) and furthermore, both my dining companion and I felt a little bit queasy for close to 20-30 minutes after finishing our food. That keeps me from wholeheartedly recommending this place. Especially when I enjoyed a meal at Khong Thai recently (just eight minutes away) that was just as delicious if not more, and in a much more youth-oriented and casual dining setting (although such may not appeal to everyone). Overall, Pattaya Thai is a very good restaurant, and I was very happy with what I had to eat in terms of the tastes. Just be careful and see if it feels like a good vibe when you go in. I'd recommend it to anyone in the Penfield area, particularly based on the beautiful interior decoration. read more

Very good Thai restaurant! We're new to this side of town so I'm excited to have found a good thai restaurant close by. They have their own parking lot which is always a plus. We were promptly seated and serviced. We started with the fresh spring rolls and shumai. Then we got seafood cashew, pad Thai with shrimp and tofu, and drunken noodles (level 4 spice is spicy!). We finished our meal with the mango sticky rice and fried banana with coconut ice cream. Absolutely delicious! We will definitely return! read more

Stopped in for dinner with a friend. We were able to get a seat immediately. Although the service was very quick, we did not feel rushed. We started with appetizers - fresh shrimp spring rolls and crab rangoons. The spring rolls were good, but nothing to really stand out. The crab was extraordinary. Deep fried and crunchy on the outside, melted cream cheese and crab on the inside - very good. For the main dish I had Panang chicken and my buddy had evil jungle squid. The curry was awesome! It was creamy and loaded with broccoli, red pepper, chicken and basil. My only complaint is that it wasn't very spicy. They have a rating of 1 to 5 stars ... I really like spicy food so I ordered the full 5. I would say it was a 3 at best. The flavor of the dish more than made up for it! I would defiantly order again except maybe ask for a 10 in the 1 to 5 stars :) read more

Pattaya Thai Restaurant - Panang Chicken - Thai Near Me - Penfield, New York

Great restaurant, with just a couple notes for improvement: Food is very good the vast majority of the time. There is a younger crowd working there more now on the weekends (we've been going for many years). The kids understand English very well (perfectly), and are *very* kind and respectful...really great kids. The full understanding of English and clearly speaking it makes ordering and understanding an improved experience. The previous workers were also wonderful people, but there was a language barrier that affected the ordering process. No longer, so kudos to them for that. If you order pick-up/take-out, you MUST re-check the order either before you leave the restaurant or in your car. It will be wrong on occasion. Perhaps just ten percent of the time. Minor accidents, but you don't want to be frustrated and angry getting all the way home and not having the food you expected. That will sour you to a restaurant real quick. Ideally, perhaps the worker should go through the order with you before you pay, perhaps they need to actually show it to you, altho I understand that would be an inconvenience since it's pre-bagged before it gets to the cashier. That said, a suggestion for the restaurant: Have the menu items have NUMBERS attached to them. The meals are not always easy to pronounce, and just stating the number both makes it super-easy to order, as well as to CONFIRM the order, with I believe far less chance of mistakes. Each order can then have the number written on it to confirm it's in the take-out bag. I'd group them by categories; seafoods can be 10-19, vege-vegan dishes can be 20-29, etc...just an idea. I would think that would make them very distinct and easy to convey. P.S....OH...A BIGGIE...BE GREAT IF THERE WERE MORE PEANUT SAUCE OPTIONS. Great food, great people, great restaurant, cheers. read more

Went there with a group of 7 and had a great time! Service was efficient and the food quality was very good. I had the Spicy Chicken and asked for extra spice. Each spicy dish can be made extra spicy depending on your preference. Just enough heat to go along with flavor. Others in my party enjoyed Pad Thai and Fried Rice with shrimp. All dishes were spot on, including 2 that were made gluten-free. Don't forget to try the Spring Rolls! You can get them either Fresh or Crispy. I dinged them 1 star because they didn't have our reservation on file when we showed up so had to wait 15 minutes for a table. Other than that hiccup the experience was worth the trip read more

I used to love this place... The Panang chicken is my favorite dish. it used to come with broccoli, snow peas, red peppers, zucchini and Thai basil. For the past year it's been only chk with broccoli, a few red peps and the basil. Last time I got it there was just chicken and broccoli. No fresh basil which is essential to this dish. it wasn't good and a few years ago I'd go almost once a week, now I'm not sure if I'll bother coming back. Gotta look for a new Thai place instead. read more

One of my favorite Thai places in Rochester, and I'm lucky enough to live about five minutes away. Everything I have tried has been delicious. I've brought other people here and they loved it too. My recommendations: green curry, drunken noodles, dumplings The people who work here are friendly, it has always been very clean, and take out is just as good as dining in. Prices are very reasonable. You really cannot go wrong with Pattaya. read more

Dry Pad Thai, Green curry ok, not overly authentic but not bad....basic Thai for an out of towner..

Our family has been getting takeout from this place For a few months now. The food is delicious! Give it a try it you won't be disappointed.

Excellent food. Very fast service. Haven't tried a dish I didn't enjoy. I frequently go around lunch time during the week and it's very easy to get in and out quickly. Soup comes out immediately after ordering. Entrees come out within about 10 minutes of ordering. read more

My favorite Thai ever. Not kidding. I've given so many other places around the country a chance and nothing compares to Pattaya (although some have gotten close). My personal favorite dishes here are Tom Yum and Pud Se Eew. The staff is friendly, it's clean, and the food is consistently delicious. Come for lunch if you want a good deal, too! Plenty of vegetarian dishes for us veggies, too! If you are in Rochester and want great Thai, come here. read more

Got the shrimp pad thai. There were definitely eggshells in the egg pieces. The texture of the noodles was good, but the sauce was overly sweet. Overall a bad experience and would not return. read more

Best Thai food in Rochester hands down. I have tried many Thai restaurants in Rochester and still find Pattaya Thai Restaurant to be the best. I have been eating at this restaurant with my family now for over 20 years. The head chef has been there for nearly 20 years as well, providing consistent, high quality Thai food at an affordable price. The owner Pam is amazing and server Michael memorize the names and orders of regular customers making you feel very welcome. I could not speak more highly of this restaurant and recommend it to anyone looking for a new Thai spot. read more

Pattaya Thai Restaurant - Pad See Ew 5 Star - Thai Near Me - Penfield, New York

Ordered the vegetarian panaeng and FYI it comes with tofu. Tofu isn't my thing and isn't listed as an ingredient so I was bummed, but flavor of dish was good. I removed the tofu and added more veggies but wish they noted this in their dish description. Not everyone likes tofu and people can have soy allergies. Also had the meekrob for appetizer. Very very sweet. This was something new for us to try but wouldn't get it again. More like a desert. read more
