Pad Thai Fai Ta Lu @Dinso Rd

We came here on a Monday evening after friends recommended it, and it totally lived up to the hype. The vibe is really cool – at first we were confused why there was nobody downstairs, but then we went upstairs and found a big, lively seating area. Unfortunately the pork belly was sold out (we really wanted to try it), so we went for the BBQ Iberian Pork and the BBQ lychee-fed chicken instead, and we definitely didn’t regret it. The Pad Thai with the lychee-fed chicken (250 THB) was so incredibly good that, after we finished everything, we actually ordered a second plate – and we never do that. It’s worth every single baht. For us, this was the best food we had during our days in Bangkok: intense flavours, but on a real next level. They also serve their own beer, which is a nice bonus. If we’re ever back in Bangkok, we’ll 100% come here again.

I’m giving this place 4 stars because while the food is superb, it’s on the pricey side for a budget traveler like me. The Pad Thai was excellent, probably one of the best I’ve had in Bangkok. We ordered both shrimp and pork and really enjoyed them, but for the portion size I felt the price was a little steep. A nice surprise was the big dining area upstairs, which I only discovered when I went to the toilet. The vibe was good, and the location is very convenient with a bus station nearby and Khaosan Road just a short walk away. If you’re traveling on a budget, just know you’ll be paying more here compared to the usual street stalls. But if you don’t mind the extra cost, the Pad Thai is definitely worth trying at least once.

Well this is ome of the Michelin Bib Gourmand places recommended in Bangkok and I am a fan of Pad Thai so I thought I should give it a try. Visited during lunchtime it was pretty quiet with not many customers. Had a look at the menu and stared at it very long before deciding because I had hard time coming to terms with Pad Thai with no prawns! There was one with dish but seems like most of it are with pork, so I decided to be a bit experimental and give it a try and ordered the Iberico Smoked BBQ Pork. Took quite some time before the dish was served. In the meantime, had to endure the cold air conditioning as well and the low light which almost kept hitting my forehead. Two pages of beverages but only a few items available. Ended up ordering the longan juice and would say it's pretty good. Soon the noodles came. A little disappointed by the portion size but still decided to give it a try. Have to say it exceeded my expectations didn't know the pork could be so well cooked and it's such a good combination with Pad Thai. Food was good and satisfying, enjoyed everything except for the portion. For the taste there was nothing I could fault and now I won't see prawn as the mandatory ingredient to go along with Pad Thai anymore. Definitely worth a visit to give it a try.

Not sure what is great about the food. Sure the noodles well fried (has some wok hey) but they seemed to be undercooked or overcooked. The noodles stick together. The pork is ok, not the Michelin guide level that I expected. Had better ones without the Michelin guide. Portion was very small. Staff was nice tho and atmosphere is a bit not my cup of tea.

I will start off by saying, I understand why this got consecutive years of Michelin Stars. The pad Thai dishes served here are out of this world tasty and unique toppings. It’s definitely a twist from the classic Pad Thai dishes. That said the price reflects this as well, though I would say that the environment of the restaurant doesn’t really reflect the high end prices you pay. It feels like a regular run down building you go up to for dinner after a days work. Regardless it is a great experience checking out Pad Thai Fai Ta Lu, we went twice just to try other dishes.

If you want to try a more upscale version of Pad Thai, this place is worth a visit. In my opinion, the tastiest one is the version with pork belly—highly recommended! The other dishes are also good, but make sure to try their signature menu. That being said… it’s honestly very expensive 🤣 like really expensive. Oh, and my mom uses a wheelchair, and she was still able to enter. We just had to lift the wheelchair a little to get inside.

Absolutely the best dish I had during my entire Thailand stay. I still think of this Pad Thai to this day. There was just so much flavor and the spices mixed beautifully with the dish. It was like every bite was a perfect harmony. I recommend this place to everyone in Bangkok, as I feel like this just tops all other dishes I had during my Thailand stay of 2 weeks. For the price you also couldn't complain, it was definitely worth the price and next time in Thailand I'm ordering three plates, minimum.

Food is good! You are given a menu… and choose from it… the usual I would say… until you order… and at that moment you hear that almost half of the menu is sold out ( at 7:40pm) so you revise your order and get an other beer than a Singha (the only place in Thailand they manage not to get it… even if it’s on the menu…) You go and « refresh » in the lavatory… which are a mess (knob is falling apart, door is missing on the cabinet and on the paper dispenser… and the floor…) When you get served you just discover that only spider are welcome here… considering the natural Halloween decor made by real insects… oh and then you wait for the check for long… very looooong…
