   Very very very load "resturant" that felt more like a nightclub. I could not have a conversation with my date as you could not talk over the music. food was fine, but not very flavorful. A dish with "thai chilis" should be spicy, but was a 4/10 spice level max. Octopus was very chewy and not charged. Would not return. Drinks were alright, but expensive. Just moved to Detroit from Chicago, so I'm very used to expensive, but the drink was average for $22.

   PAO Detroit is a beautiful venue. We had wonderful service. The food was not very good. I had the beef noodle and it was basically shredded wagu which nullified the tase and the dish was overwhelmed with a ton of onions which was all I could really taste. I would saw it ranked in my top five worst meals of the past year dining out. My husband had Kung Pao chicken and he said it was basically like sweet and sour chicken with no spice or flavor. The pistachio cheesecake was very good as was my drink. The waiter was very good.

   The food was just okay, it was nothing exciting about it. The service was mediocre and the ambiance was good. This is not somewhere I would frequent but it’s worth seeing for yourself.
