One of, if not the best Pad See Ew (seafood) I have had in my life. Every piece of seafood from the calamari, fish, and mussels were well flavored. Staff were welcoming and attentive! This will be my go to Thai spot going forward. read more

This was our first time here, I ordered Kao Soi gai which was just perfect! My husband ordered spicy beef basil which was again very delicious! We finished our meal with custard with sticky rice- so yum . We will return for more for sure! 100% try the kao soi gai read more

Like any Thai restaurants, they are not authentic at all. Non-Thai customers give high ratings. I've lived in Thailand and I don't agree with the high ratings. read more

This place is close to my job. I eat here often! I love a couple of their items. I really like all the curry options, the fried rice and the Tom Yum. I recommend any of those :) their egg rolls and spring rolls are great too. read more

My beautiful wife and I really liked this place. It is nice having a place like this within walking distance of our house. When we went, I ordered the Thais Basil Chicken with rice. The food came out quick and it was delicious. Definitely well worth the visit. The place was nice on the inside and the service was friendly. Please check this place out. read more

So, this place certainly looks like a hole in the wall. The inside ambience is not remarkable either. However, the food is authentic. The chefs and servers know their food and we loved every item. Portions are not super great but decent. Spice levels can be adjusted as we wish. read more

Been wanting to come here for a long time and was fully expecting a 5-star review which makes it a bit disappointing I need to give it only 4. Perhaps the numerous, glowing reviews of the Crying Tiger entree raised my expectations... or maybe it was just a bad night. But I didn't find it to be anything special and actually quite chewy / tough. The Tom Yum soup was delicious and the steamed seafood was decent with somewhat rubbery squid. Service was fine. Ambiance was as expected. Overall a good place that I'm willing to try again. read more

This place is amazing! I absolutely love it! I have had the curries and Pad Thai, the spring rolls and steamed dumplings. It is always great! read more

Amazing food and service! Don't miss out on this hidden gem. We started with the chicken satay. It was fresh and hot and delicious. My dining partner ordered the Tom Yum noodles, I ordered Latb with chicken. Both worse amazing and we are going to come back for sure! It's not a fancy place, but it's clean and the food is delicious and fresh. read more

The Padaek - Tom Yum noodle soup - Laotian Near Me - Irving, Texas

The Padaek has the best fried rice I've ever had, would totally recommend. The mango sticky rice is also extremely good.

Delicious food. Service is so so but will go back for the flavors Reccomend egg rolls and pad thai read more

Traveling from out of town and too lazy to grab take out. So I ordered from yelp. The food was very good I had the chicken Kao Peayk with meatballs, pork pho Lao, and pork larb salad. The experience was bad . The Kao Peayk order from yelp doesn't say when adding meatball that it cost extra. I got call from the restaurant after yelp charged my credit card that the meat balls for the Kao Peayk cost an additional $3.00 or if I wanted to make it a all meatball Kao Peayk. I told the lady just take away the meat balls. So answer me this, how do like your food missing certain ingredients? Would you have repeat business or have $3.00? Next time I should just cancel the order completely when mechant wants more money after ordering, lesson learned.. read more

This is some of the best Thai I've had in Irving. I've eating here multiple time and the Panang curry is outstanding. There's a spaghetti dish that has bacon which is really good. read more

This is the worst thai/lao food I have ever had, and I eat it once a week, every week for years. It was astoundingly awful. The egg roll was rancid and I had to spit it out. Fish was old, smelly and tough. Avocado app was literally just disks of fried breading. Almost no protein or veg in my curry entree, just curry and coconut milk. I'm really taken aback at how bad this place is compared to the rating. Wow read more

Their Red Curry soup is wonderful. I usually start with the fresh spring rolls. Kate's service is a big part of why we visit at least twice a month. read more

First experience here, based on other Thai restaurant's, this one has some serious flavor but the protein portions are incredibly small. I forgot to take a picture but for $15-16, one should be getting more than 3-4oz of chicken. Most adults won't be full off of one entree. This issue isn't unique to this restaurant, shrinkflation is a real thing and why I choose to eat at home primarily. Overall, very clean and friendly. read more

Padaek is now a staple of downtown Irving! In addition to their wonderful food and service, they now have tv screens that show neat street food scenes from Laos and Thailand. read more

My boyfriend and I frequent this place a lot, for dates and even going with our family. This place quickly became a favorite as the restaurant staff are always so sweet and personable, and the food is always delicious and filling, we always come home with leftovers! read more

Amazing service. Amazing food. Hot, fresh, delicious. I tried a few dishes because it was my first dine-in experience. They did NOT disappoint. It was so good. The leftovers were just as yummy. We tried appetizers and a few entrees. I was stuffed. It is a low-key neighborhood spot tucked in on a quiet street. It is one of the places that if you know, you know. It is worth the trip and the try. Made to order everything is rare anymore. The portions were on point and they don't cut corners on flavor. I can't wait to pop in again for lunch or dinner. I'm his was the first mouth-watering meal I've had in a while. I was too busy eating to take pictures but ai can attest to the plates looking exactly like the menu pics! read more

I had just returned from a one week trip to Mixico city so I was really craving Lao food. I drove straight here from the airport. The space is nice and clean with an open kitchen. I really wanted thum thad but it was for 4 people and I was alone so I went with the next best option, crying tiger. The size of the steak was a good size but there didn't seem to be any seasoning on the meat itself. Seemed to lack even salt. The sauce that you dip it in was good but not spicy enough for me. The dish comes with a basket of sticky rice but it was a very small amount of it. read more

Yall the food is to die for!! I had shrimp pad Thai(10/10), red curry (skip tbh), crying tiger beef (ok), basil beef (good), Thai tea (so good) and mango sticky rice. The mangos were still fresh and that's saying a lot given how late in the mango season we are!! read more

Food is decent. Wasn't particularly impressed by portions or quality. A couple of items look worth checking out so maybe I'll give it one more spin but the duck red curry and fried rib was ultimately forgettable and will not order again. read more

Tried out The Padaek with the family around 7 pm and got seated right away. We dove into some Thai delights - Thai Style Sweet & Sour, Thai Fried Rice, Garlic Green Beans and Bangkok Pho. Gotta say, everything hit the spot! The Sweet & Sour had the perfect tang, and the Pho was cozy comfort. If you're craving Thai in Irving, The Padaek won't disappoint. read more

Good food. Chill and quiet environment. It's a great place to enjoy a good meal with friends.

Definitely recommend this place. They had the best sausage that I had ever try in my life... I'm not a big fan of sausage as there is no place I can feel a lot of taste in 1 sausage- spicy - little salty- little sour . The Pineapple Fried Rice and Crying Tiger with Sticky Rice is delicious as well. Also don't forget your desert with Ice cream. That lunch filled my upset stomach so much. I will be back to try the other Thai Salad and Lab as well as I heard that really good also read more

Some of the best Thai food I've has since Thailand! Had Tom Kha soup, coconut fried rice and crying tiger steak due to previous reviews and was so impressed!! Still savoring the flavors the next day. Yum!! read more

Great food and good service! Really enjoyed our meal. We had crying tiger, larb, avocado rings, a cup of Tom Ka and a couple of Thai coffees. Everything was delicious and spiced exactly as requested. Only one server for a busy Friday evening, but he was able to keep us served in a timely manner. He was running around like a crazy man, but doing a fantastic job keeping everyone happy. We will absolutely be back. Can't recommend this place highly enough! read more

Food was excellent i wish i had taken pictures of the food before we devoured it!!!! Their version of crab Rangoon was good

Food was amazing! Beware of the spicy levels though. I love spicy food and asked a 2 because I was going to share with my daughter and it was pretty spice! Definitely a favorite! What we had: Spicy Edamame Thai Basil w/ Chicken Pad Thai read more

This place was really good!! Server was friendly. We would come back. Bf ordered the duck curry, very yummy and the duck was cooked perfectly, so tender. I ordered the crying tiger steak. It was cooked to a perfect medium rare and that spicy sauce they give you for it is omg sooo yum. It has Thai chilis in the sauce, looks like. read more
