Pakpao Thai Food - Design District

the doc

Being a local, I have been to this place so many times and never experienced a bad meal or an unpleasant time UNTIL lastnight. Wow! We ordered the flight of beef jerky, pineapple rice with shrimp, and the green curry salmon.The pineapple rice had bones in it. Why are there bones? This was shrimp. The green curry was so watery it watered down the flavor of the salmon. The salmon was overly burnt on the top as well. The beef jerky was incredibly salty. Too salty to enjoy. Our server who said he was the manager had no idea about items on the menu when we asked questions. He said he just started. He also spoke very little English. So the manager of this place doesn’t know the menu nor speaks English. Only Spanish. The hip hop music that was blaring out of the ceiling wasn’t exactly the Thai vibe we came in for. I had to actually follow the server and remind him to get us water several times. We were told that the owners sold out and sold the place to another guy. This place is no longer what it was. Never to return. I don’t see this place lasting much longer unless you just like settling for overly expensive bland watered down food with bones in it. BONE APPETIT!

Great food, fantastic and very fast service, and a great place to eat outside while the weather is nice! The Pad See Ew is one of the best I've ever had! We would order takeout from here all the time but eating at the restaurant is even better - they are now our favorite spot for Thai food in Dallas.

The food here is so good. Went around lunch with a party of 8 was immediately seated. The server kept our water full. Our food came out semi hot but was still delicious. Everyone enjoyed their plate and appetizers. My advice, try something new you won't regret it.
