Pad Thai (GF and Vegetarian)
Harshath G.

Let me first just say that the experience here was made so much better because of our waitress, Iris, who was extremely knowledgeable, kind and thoughtful. Of note, I have celiac (strict gluten-free), and I'm vegetarian, and had a great time dining here. For celiac, they were cautious and aware of cross contamination protocols. I started off with the Thai tea which was so different from what I am used to in the states; it was less sweet and felt a lot more authentic. It was a mix of creamy and perfect balance of flavor, might have been the best Thai tea I've ever had outside of Thailand. For the food, the Pad Thai was absolutely delicious! I got it with steamed tofu, the noodles were well-cooked, the whole dish was well-seasoned, portions were generous, and absolutely no complaints about the food. Lastly, just wanted to give another shoutout to Iris. She was extremely helpful with helping me find an appropriate item I could eat off the menu due to being celiac, and she knew pretty much every ingredient in every single dish and how it was cooked off the top of her head, so I felt very confident in safely eating here, and she also communicated this to the kitchen. Her suggestions for drinks were also excellent. As a small note, it was also nice to be able to eat in an indoor restaurant given the heat outside. Overall, great experience eating here, and will definitely come back when I'm back in the area.

Solid Thai food with excellent service. The food comes out incredibly fast to the point that you wonder if it's pre made, but you will love what you eat. Our waiter was adament that the pad ew was better than the pad Thai and he was right. I'd order that dish again any time. If you've had many Thai dishes or know great Thai food then you'll know this isn't exceptional Thai food. However, it's satisfying, filling, and fun. It's a good choice if you're in need of an Asian dish in Playa.

Pa Thai

The food was more than excellent. The explosion of flavor and aroma of every dish was unique. This a go to place here in Playa del Carmen. Our server, Iris, provided us with excellent service. She was knowledgeable of the ingredients of every dish and even suggested some that were not on the menu. We would be back many times.

Yum Woon Sen

We discovered this place late into our travels, but we are glad we did! The food was authentic and delicious. We found out that the chef is from Thailand, so that really makes a difference. Our service was great, Darinka was amazing. The music wasn't very loud like most other places so we were able to have a conversation while enjoying our meal. We tried the Yum Nua Yang, Tom Yum, Pad Khee Mow and Yum Woon Sen. Everything was great, and when we asked for spicy, we got really spicy food, which is what we wanted!

Great services, friendly servers. Seems a bit on the pricier side, ordered the chicken skewers, Soup, pad Thai, curry and dessert came around $60 Found the soup little water down, skewers were tasty and tender. Curry had a good spice to it but could be thicker consistency. Pad Thai was good. The mango sticky rice dessert was my favourite. I would go back just for that.

Shrimp Pad Thai
Jack M.

I ordered the Shrimp Pad Thai. The shrimps were well executed: juicy and plump. However, the sauce in the noodles was too sweet. This created a generally unbalanced dish that needed a ton of peanuts to establish an umami forward taste which helped to mask, but not fix the issue of sweetness.

We were on the business trip, after few days..... my stomach tells me wants some comfort food. I start search Asian food from Yelp and Po Thai pop up with the most promising pictures. Yes!!! The food were amazing and the service are great!!! If you are in the area for good traditional Thai food.... This is the place.

The food was very good. Service was great and friendly. Ambiance is laid back and cool. I sat outside and people-watched as I enjoyed my dinner.

Sticky rice with mango
Whitney W.

Loved this little spot. Came here for our final dinner while in Playa Del Carmen after searching for a good Thai spot. This was a good choice. Loved everything, from the Thai iced tea and spring rolls to the main dishes and dessert. Service was great as well, kind of a norm in Mexico based off experience. I ordered the pad Thai for my main dish, with the addition of shrimp. My parents ordered the pad see ewe and fried rice. We all enjoyed our dishes. I like how their soy sauce had hot peppers added to it - a nice marriage of Asian and mexican flavors. I noticed they had sticky rice with mango on their dessert menu, so I had to save room for it. It came out very hot and was delicious! I would have liked it a bit sweeter but we all enjoyed it very much!

The food was good. The wait time was long. We were told 20 minutes but weren't called for another 45-50 minutes.

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.

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.

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.
