I've been wanting to give this place a try for awhile. It seems like it's been in this location for many years and I often drive by and wonder. I recently had my chance, made a reservation, and stopped in (with about 8 other family members) on a Friday evening. The place was dead, so we all got a little worried. But the staff was nice and seated us right away (of course). A lot of people seem to order takeout/delivery here. The interior is a bit plain but still wonderfully decorated in traditional Thai decor. We ordered the basil chicken, drunken noodles, red curry, pad Thai, orange chicken, and pineapple fried rice, and fried banana for desert. Everything was outstanding, and came out fairly fast given the large order!! I'd never had red curry or basil chicken before and I am now a huge fan!! My young daughter loved the red curry and couldn't stop eating it. She's also now a huge fan! Everyone agreed the food was excellent. I've had a lot of good Thai food, and this place is one of the best. The service was more like 3-4 stars, but the food alone was 5+ stars, so it balances out. Can't wait to come back! read more

Not the original owners and the quality of the Thai food has suffered. I should of known when it said Thai Halal on the website. They have new Afghan menu items which are provably better. I'm thinking I would prefer to see this turn into a afghan place. Blah read more

Awesome new halal Thai place in Sacramento! Loved their fish cake, fried rice, chicken satay, mango sticky rice! Will come back again for more. Great and attentive service as well. read more

After a long weekend of driving, my husband and I decided to use up our Uber Eats credit since we were both too tired to cook. I came across this place on the Uber Eats app and noticed they had BOGO deals on a few of their dishes. It is a Halal Thai place so we were interested in how the food would be like here since we have never seen a fusion like this before. We ended up ordering majority of it so that way we had food to put together our lunchboxes for work for the week. We got 2 orders of Pad Thai (Chicken and Tofu), 2 orders of Drunken Noodles (Chicken and Tofu), 2 orders of Egg Rolls, 2 orders of Chicken Tikka Kabab, 2 orders of Thai Tea, and 2 orders of Vanilla Ice Cream. As you can see, we got 2 orders of everything because that was the beauty of their BOGO deal on Uber Eats! All of this was about $150 but we only paid around $65! Definitely a steal and so worth it! We picked up the food and took it home and the food was still pretty hot. Even the ice cream wasn't as melted. We ate a little bit of everything and it was all good! Given the fact that this place was a Halal Thai fusion, the Medium spice level was way too spicy for me. 1 of the Drunken Noodles and Pad Thai orders we did a Mild spice level and the other Drunken Noodles and Pad Thai we did a Medium spice level. If you aren't able to handle spice like me, definitely stick to the Mild spice level or no spice at all. I typically can handle Medium but the Medium spice level here was way too much for me so I will probably stick with the Mild spice level here from now on the next time we order from here. Overall and despite me not being able to handle the Medium spice level, all the food has a very satisfying taste and made us full for the rest of the day! read more

10/10. The service is just as impressive, super friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home. Clean place, great vibes, and consistently amazing food. read more

Phaya Thai is under new management. The new owners gave the worst service we have ever had. All three of our orders were incorrect. We ordered by the number and the waitress didn't know what the numbers meant so took the menu from us and wrote some stuff on her handheld computer and then disappeared for about a half hour. All three dishes were wrong. It took so long to get that we couldn't reorder. I nicely commented on the wrong noodles, wrong meat and wrong veggies and received no apology, not even a kind word. Will never go back. read more

I ordered through DoorDash and everything was underwhelming. The food quality was poor, specifically the flavors of the pad thai and mango sticky rice. However, service was quick and food was still hot upon arrival. I am not sure what the restaurant atmosphere is like but I will not be a returning customer. read more

Under new ownership...do not go! Awful awful food, so disappointing as we were regulars of the old Phaya Thai. One in our party actually got sick after eating their green curry. Stay away! read more

This place is a gem! The food is fresh and delicious, the ambiance is welcoming, and the service is quick. I highly recommend dropping by if your in the area! read more

Great place to dine very clean, top-notch food, and excellent customer service. I would definitely recommend this place.

Here is my two cents on the food and delivery. My food was delivered by Grubhub. It arrived, still hot in a timely manner. . I order chicken, red curry . It was just spicy enough with lots of chicken and other vegetables withbeans . Actually, on arrival it was too hot to eat. I had to wait for it to cool off for about five or 10 minutes. . My only regret was I did not order rice . They used to always give you rice free of charge but now you have to order it. Additionally, it seems. But it was very good food and they had plenty of chicken in it. I do recommend you try. read more

This place is under new ownership and the quality of the food has dropped, I don't recommend anymore.

Great Curry here near the Fair Oaks area. I also like their pad Thai extra spicy. Nice environment and quiet location. Good for small groups. read more

Random, cute little Thai Place in the corner of this shopping center! Definitely "mom and pop" vibes forsure. My 4 stars are really for my experience, since I only ordered a Beef Salad to go. I'm all about customer service and the gentleman there who greeted me and took my order was the sweetest. The salad was a bit pricey being $18 with tax! BUT.. I do have to admit, the salad itself was very filling! It was packed with tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, lettuce and MEAT! Check out the difference of what it looks like in its to go container vs on my plate.. The sauce had a decent chili lime flavor, but was a bit on the watery side. Overall, I would come back to try other dishes. :) read more

Great food, excellent customer service and really enjoyed the atmosphere. Been going here since the previous owner and the food taste almost exactly the same. And both were A+ quality. read more

Still amazing food been going here for years. Great customer service can't recommend this place any higher than five stars if I could, I would. read more

This was real good! Apparently, it's under a new owner. It was our first time visiting and definitely going back again. We got the wonton pot and chicken drunken noodles. Overhearing the table next to us there were 5 spice levels before well now there's 6. We got 3 - medium spicy and I was spiced up! As a person that enjoys spicy food but not super spicy, 3 was perfect. The wonton soup had such great flavor. According to the menu I didn't see an option to pick the wonton meat. I was fine with ground chicken but I can imagine it tasting as good with pork or shrimp. The service was great. Big thumbs up on the service. Super attentive and we felt welcomed. read more

Phaya Thai Halal Restaurant - 12. Wonton Soup 17. Pad Thai - Chicken - Thai Near Me - Sacramento, California

We were excited to find halal Thai food nearby and have never been here before. The staff were kind and friendly. We were impressed with the wonton soup to start. We ordered too much food but will have great leftovers- the garlic eggplant with shrimp, chow mein with chicken, and orange chicken were all beautifully presented and had excellent flavor. As others have said, the wait after ordering was about 25 minutes but the environment was comfortable. We definitely recommend and will be back soon. read more

Finally made it in an evening before they closed. First time here, never had Halal Thai food before. I ordered the chicken pad thai level 2 spicy and drunken noodle with chicken also level 2 spicy, as well as a thai iced tea. They were out of their normal milk so it was substituted with coconut milk which was fine by me. I love coconut. Dishes were good sized portions. Everything was very frsh and hot. The pad thai was lacking chicken, and the drunken noodle had a ton of chicken, but was lacking noodles. They balanced out nicely. Lol I am sure glad I only got level 2 spicy as it was pretty spicy and I like spice. They were very busy with internet orders, I was advised to call ahead to not have to wait for the next time. The restaurant was very tidy with tradition Thai decor, very pretty. I will definitely be back! read more

If you're craving some Thai food in the area, this is the one! The restaurant is decorated well on the inside--lots of floral decors and oriental wall decors. I ordered the Pad Thai and the house special talapia. Both dishes were really delicious! The seasoning was perfect for my tastebuds. It's a family owned business, and the owners/workers here are very nice and polite. I'll definitely be back again:) read more

Bad! This I a PSA . Do not patron this resturaunt . Business has been sold. There is no Thai food to be had here. Just a bland cardboard interpretation of Thai food. Run away from this place! That is all.... read more

What a horrible waste of time and money. We ordered $60.00 worth of WORTHLEES FOOD. We had our server take all 3 dish to the TRASH! We paid and left. DON'T GO!!!!!! Ripoff. They don't know what they are doing. If I could give a MINUS-10 I would. Went there hungry and left hungry and $60 lighter! read more

The restaurant doesn't have the best look from the outside, but the inside is well decorated. The service was really good, especially from the owner. The food was a little American, but still tasty and served very fast to our surprise! The decorations and presentation is sure to make your date awe! read more

Papaya salad was too watery and lacked flavor. I asked for Laotian style, but it didn't taste authentic -- missing the bold fermented fish sauce and spice balance. Hope they can improve the recipe and offer more regional accuracy read more

Hands down some of the best thai food in town and the surrounding areas. Been on a Thai food kick and have proceeded to try over 20 restaurants, and still find myself back here every week. Best drunken noodle. 10/10 Highly recommend! read more

Service is the worst I've ever seen. My friends and I were the only ones there and it took them 30 min just to bring us our appetizer. For the papaya, it was only a small portion, most of the portion were lettuce. The side order is steamed rice costs $2 but it was smaller than a handful. Food is only mid. I do not recommend coming here. read more

Excellent thai food and friendly good service! I loved the drunken noodles and they really made it super spicy like I crave.

Love Phaya Thai! Love that they call you by your name when you call in an order because it's saved in their system. It's a friendly touch. Pad See Ew, Thai Egg rolls and Thai Basil leaves are my family's favorite. Call right when they open for pick up as they get backed up quick! read more

Just moved to the area and thought I'd try this place! The restaurant was very clean and the waiter was very nice. Food was delish we got the yellow curry and the pineapple fried rice. We definitely will be coming back to try more items. Also we were seated right away and our food came out quick and hot! read more

Excellent Thai with a more healthy twist. The only thing is that the prices are a little high in my opinion.

Absolutely delicious food. The Thai fried rice is delicious with delicate flavors and a wonderful presentation. The Pad Woon Sen was delicious also. Enough food to take home. The restaurant is Halal so no alcohol, but their teas are delicious. read more

Me and my family use to go here all the time, we lived the won ton soup it was the best around! But I think they are under new ownership because I placed an order for pick up last night and when I walked in it was not the same person I am use to seeing running the front, so I was concerned that the food had changed, when I got home we tried the fried rice which was good along with the pad woon sen, I also got my fav which is drunken noodle and the won ton soup I was sort of disappointed it was not the same we did not even finish those two and usually the soup is the first to go. I had also ordered everything spicy and not one of the dishes came with a little bit of spice. It is disappointing when a place gets new ownership and changes read more

They are under new ownership. I think the new people have only been here a couple weeks, still working out some service bugs. They need more than one person in front. My drunken noodles were decent, we'll give the new owners another chance. read more

A couple years after my first review, I have to add a star! Yesterday I ordered the pad Thai via DoorDash and WOW! The noodles and prawns were cooked perfectly, the serving of prawns was generous, not too oily and still hot from the pan. Another bonus is that their definition of "spicy" is in line with mine...I've been to too many Thai restaurants that have served me up what I call "White people spicy," ie: not at all. It was so good that I didn't even think to take a picture! I seriously can't wait to order again! read more

We ordered with Postmates and decided to try a new Thai. So I can only rate the food, not the restaurant. We had the fresh rolls that were yummy! I love the fresh cucumbers. My son ordered the Pad Thai, and it was the bomb. I ordered the Panang Curry with vegetables. The Curry tasted great, but it does not come with rice or noodles. I wish I would have know, it was missing. read more
