   Pleasantly surprised! The fare was much broader and more authentic than the usual Pad Thai and the four curries. I’ll be back to try what we couldn’t get to this round!

   Service was great! Dragon fruit margarita too sweet. Chicken skewers flavor was delicious as was the peanut sauce. Thai chicken good flavor, chicken legs if you like that. I’m usually more excited & want to return to Thai restaurants but it’s okay.

   Overall this was exactly what we expected. We enjoyed the “date night” atmosphere. It was my birthday dinner with my fiancé. The server we had was AWESOME! Very attentive and fast. The drink I ordered was a hibiscus ranch water. I’ve never had a ranch water without ice until this one. I ended up asking for ice bc it made the drink better at a colder temp. The food was average for the prices. BUT the crab rangoons were legit! Example: My pad thai was $22 bc I ordered tofu and chicken but I’ve had the same for $14 at reasonably similar thai places. The hostess came over and took our second table connected to us while I had a food covered finger and I had to grab my purse and quickly move my phone before she took it away. It was a little overkill because the party of 4 that she needed it for wasn’t even all there yet. Not a big deal bc our server was so awesome but it did make us change our mind about getting dessert. Overall cool place!

    When I'm in town I always find time to go to Pakpao. The food is flavourful. The dumplings are very tasty. Their ground pork and basil is excellent. I crave their shrimp with green curry. Highly recommend that you give them a try. Tasty tasty tasty.

    We had a early meal prior to a game at American Airlines center. The food was excellent and the service was very friendly. The chicken satay was excellent and we also enjoyed drunken noodles , fried rice and garlic shrimp. One of our party can’t tolerate spicy food and they were very accommodating. We also left a credit card by mistake and they called us to say they were holding it for us to pick up when convenient.

    Food is always consistent at Pak Pao. Our waiter was still learning having just joined the team, but he was quick to find answers to our questions and was attentive. I recommend this restaurant for a casual meal with good food. Especially the green curry salmon. So delicious!

    Great experience! My wife has several food allergies so we called ahead to ask if they could accommodate. They said yes and were well aware when we arrived, and the chef came to our table to meet with us. Found a dish she was interested in, which was prepared with a slight modification. She found it delicious and, even better, didn’t get sick. It’s a real trick to find a new place my wife can eat at, and this was the best new place we’ve found in quite a while. Our server Eduardo was also excellent. Great attention to detail without smothering us, and was also a great conversationalist when the opportunity arose.

    We went for lunch during DFW Restaurant week. The restaurant week offering was really limited, which is to be expected, but the portions were also really small. I ordered the Tom Kha Gai soup and received less than a half cup—which was fine because it was super salty, and the Pad Thai which was served in a Soup Bowl. If you’re going to cheap out on restaurant week offerings, just don’t participate. The Pad Thai was the best of the offerings and it was just fine—nothing special. The icing on the cake of our bad experience is that our credit card number was stolen after lunch and the waiter(s) used our card for a number of fraudulent purchase that afternoon. So, overall not good food, small portions. and unethical wait staff.

    We were in Dallas for one day and wanted to try Jet Tila’s food. My wife is Thai so we thought it would be a good meal. The Thai tea was way too sweet. They were out of the boba (though the waitress didn’t know that until she came back). We ordered som tom, pad siew, and tom kha gai, with jasmine rice. The som tom never came out, but that was probably a blessing. The pad siew was weirdly seasoned and improperly cooked. The noodles were soggy and sticky … pad siew should be cooked over high heat, but this was tossed more like rad na would be. The flavor was weird. It would have helped to have some Thai vinegar (nam som sai chu), but the waitress seemed taken back when I asked for vinegar. The tom kha was a little too salty, but not bad. $4 for rice is really just a money grab and an overall sign of how expensive the place is. I don’t mind paying for good food, but this $50 lunch for two left us hungry and wishing we had gone somewhere else.

    Just loved the whole experience. The vibe was nice but the food was even better. Great selection of dishes and it all was beautifully presented and very fresh and tasty. Just what I was hoping it would be. Would definitely eat here again. And if you love Boba then you will be very satisfied!

    Servers were great. Food was tasty, if a little mild for my palate. I would order with more heat next time. They had run out of several beers, but had plenty of alternatives to quench your thirst. I would recommend giving Pakpao Thai a go, but two up the heat on your food.

    It had been a few years since I had eaten at pak pao, it used to be incredibly good. I got the duck which was way over cooked, my wife got that larb gai and it tasted pretty off. My dad just pushed his food around, it was all around pretty disappointing. Very nice staff and great decor, just food was poor. Perhaps we caught them on a very off day
