Pailin Thai Cuisine - OK Thai Food

An absolute gem in Moore for delicious Thai food! The food is great, the staff are very friendly, and the decor beautiful! I had door dashed them a lot during covid and was always pleased. Coming back after some time and they're still such a fantastic spot for food and comfort! I came in on one of the wintery cold days and the pork dish I had warmed me and satisfied my taste buds! They even gave me a delicious hot tea for the cold road ahead.

FIVE STARS! A student today recommended this Thai restaurant in Moore, and when I saw that it had 4.9 stars on Google, I knew my lady & I had to try it…tonight! This place is small (36 seats), and when we left at 6:30pm, nearly every seat was filled…on a Tuesday night! Fantastic blend of flavors: sweet, heat, ginger, peanut, fruit, green onion, all coming together for an intense hit on the pallate. Highly recommended!!

This is my happy place. The vibes are immaculate and dreamy. The location is quaint and cozy. And the food is just like mom’s. I debated gatekeeping this but I NEED them to stay in business! 10/10 experience overall.

Some of the best Thai food I’ve had nationwide. The drunken noodles rocked!! Went for Valentine’s Day with my wife and we both enjoyed it thoroughly. Thai tea is very good and worth the price! Service was quick and waitress was very nice. We were also given a small box of fresh and beautiful flowers to keep!

The food was beyond my expectations – everything was just wonderful! Friendly staff. ❤️ The Pad Thai and Salmon Curry have made it onto my favorites list. And one more thing – the Thai Green Milk Tea was absolutely amazing, a must-try! I’ll definitely be coming back to try more dishes here.

Amazing ambience with excellent food, not a single miss on the menu, really enjoyed the drunken noodles, red curry, green curry, spicy squid, and Thai braised beef noodle soup, cannot leave without trying the Thai tea and coffee

Best Thai food I’ve had in the OKC metro area! I highly recommend it! Fried spring rolls are delicious and every dish I’ve tried so far has been a hit

I normally don't leave negative comments, however I am not in agreement with some of the reviews, or.. lack thereof... specifically about their service. I have been to this small restaurant a few times, and I have yet to have "good service". It seems the wait staff is a family member while other family members cook your food. They are in no rush greet you, nor to take your order, much less, follow up with you after you get your food. The service is just slow. It's wise if you go there for lunch as you will spend more time waiting than actually eating your food. Now, mind you, their food is very delicious and you are served an adequate proportion of food.

If you haven't been to Pailin, you're seriously missing out on the most authentic Thai experience in Oklahoma City! This place is run by a sweet husband-and-wife duo who pour their hearts into every dish, bringing traditional family recipes to life with incredible flavor and impeccable service. If you don't love Pailin, you just don't know Thai food! Tucked away in a cozy, unassuming spot, Pailin transports you straight to Thailand with its soothing ambiance--think trickling water, beautiful decor, Thai music, and the intoxicating smells of real, home-cooked Thai cuisine. Honestly, after dining here, it's tough to settle for anything else in OKC. The pineapple fried rice? A burst of flavor in every bite. The braised beef noodle soup? It's like pho met a Thai goddess--rich, aromatic, and beyond satisfying. And don't even get me started on the Pailin sticks! They're a unique, addictive treat, and the squid with homemade sauces is downright mouthwatering. I absolutely recommend Pailin to everyone--whether you're a Thai food aficionado or a first-timer. And if for some wild reason you're not blown away on your first visit (which is almost impossible), trust me: give it another shot. You won't regret it! This place is a must-try for anyone who wants the real deal. Pictures sure to come in updated review! It was so amazing the food was gone before the flash of the camera went off!

Excellent chicken pad Thai medium spice. Atmosphere is serene and service was top notch.

I have eaten at over 100 different Thai places around the U.S. and this is definitely in my Top 3. The massaman curry was easily the best curry I have ever had. The fried tofu appetizer and the Thai tea were also amazing. It was absolutely delicious. The service was really good and fast. The restaurant itself also had a nice ambiance and vibe to it. I highly recommend this place!

Such a lovely restaurant. The interior feels charming and comfortable I enjoy the ambiance of plants and nice seating. The curries here always have an excellent taste of sweet and spicy notes. The massaman curry was perfect, and a good amount of spice (I got spice level 3). The mango sticky rice was perfect. The notes of coconut and warm black rice were fantastic. The service is always nice and fast. Can't wait to return again!

Visiting from Atlanta and kept seeing this place on Yelp and other foodie pages. I'm a lover of Thai food so I had to try it! Small location with limited seating so that's one thing to note, but they do offer carry out. I ordered the Salmon curry -- my go-to and it was soooo delicious. Such a great space, friendly waitresses overall! I don't know when I'll be back in Oklahoma but I definitely foresee myself eating here again!

Always amazing. Eating at Pailin Thai is a consistently joyful experience. There are few places where a unique high quality meal is affordable to the working class. Pailin is one such place. I've had the pleasure of being in the area just frequently enough to eat here a few times over the years with my spouse. Usually we get the same thing pad kee mao, a curry and a side. Today I tried something new the Thai Braised Beef noodle soup and it was genuinely one of the best meals I've had in such a long time. Savory, sweet, slightly spicy with depths of flavor; perfectly cooked noodles and a massive portion of the most tender melt in your mouth beef. In Oklahoma the access to all qualities of beef is plentiful. So I've had a lot of beef and hours later I'm still thinking about this beef. It was so flavorful, perfectly cooked and melt in the mouth tender. Thankfully the portion was large enough I have some leftovers to enjoy tomorrow. Saving them until tomorrow will be the hardest but most rewarding part. My husband had beef pad kee mao. It was flavorful, tangy, spicy, satisfying and filling. A wonderful dish as always and out of all the Thai food in Oklahoma Pailin has the best Pad Kee Mao (drunken noodle) Because we don't come to Pailin often we kind of got way too much food. Including an appetizer, side and drinks. For an appetizer we had the Pailin Sticks to start. These we satisfying, crunchy, meaty and savory. I could truly have eaten so many more of these but then I wouldn't have had room for my entree. I got a side of Cucumber salad which was refreshing. We also had a Thai tea and Thai green tea. Both were tasty. Service was amazing as always. They always remember us no matter how long its been since we've been and its such a welcoming experience. It was also a joy to see regulars in and the business doing well. Atmosphere is wonderful. It's a small restaurant in a strip mall but when eating here its easy to forget the outside surroundings and be immersed in dining. There is also a small area with imported goods from Thailand for purchase. Anyway. I still highly recommend Pailin.

Update- finally made it back seven months later, and I still can't say enough good things! Amazing flavors and honestly some of the best authentic Thai food I've had in OKC.

Food, Service, ambiance! Excellent! They were really quick and friendly! Food was delicious 10/10. Definitely will be coming back. I had spicy squid as an appetizer (no pic, but so far best fried squid I ever had) and my main dish was Khao Soi Beef (spicy level 1, it had a nice kick) and the best drink to have of course Thai tea!

Outstanding. I normally order chicken or beef at Thai restaurants but went with the Thai Salmon here and it's certainly the best Thai fish dish I've had, and one of the best Thai meals period. Great service and decor too. One of those places that makes me wish I lived in this city.

It was just OK, will try other Thai locations. First Thai restaurant I've tried in OK

Definitely the best Thai in the area. Even drive from NW OKC to come eat here. It's always great and the service is spot on. It's a small place, and sometimes on the weekend it is full, but always perfect!

We have gotten carryout from here before, and we loved it! We finally decided to dine in the other day, and the restaurant is pretty small but cute. All of the decor was lovely, and we felt as if we were in someone's home. Our waitress was also very sweet and attentive. As for the food, we usually get the papaya salad, which is super refreshing yet packed with flavor. This time, we wanted to try some of their other items! We first started with a Thai coffee, which was served in a bowl; it was a cool presentation and the coffee was delish! We got some chicken wings for our appetizer, and those were nicely fried and juicy. For our entrees, I got the green curry, and my hubby got the basil beef. Both were really good; just a tad bit on the salty side, but still very tasty! It's a good thing we live nearby, because we will definitely be trying their other items!

This place never disappoints. Their pad Thai is so good. Definitely best Thai place in the area. I've also had both of their beef noodle soup dish and OMG. Amazing!!!

The food is delicious! The atmosphere is very relaxing Although the dining room is very small the staff are fast and friendly! We celebrated our daughter's 36th birthday there. We got fried tofu, Pailin sticks and fried spring rolls for appetizers; all were delicious! We ordered Thai tea and they serve it in a cool Cooper bowl great feeling on your lips as you drink it. The meals were great and the kid with us got chopsticks he thought they were really cool ! All dishes were very good but mine was too spicy so we ordered crab fried rice for me...it was amazing! Served with a lime wedge and cucumber slices. I must go there again soon to try more dishes! I have to as for no spice because I'm a wimp!

Amazing Thai food. the service is very friendly and the food is great. It has been a while since I ate here. came back today and was as always amazed with the food and the owners. The restaurant has an amazing ambience. Feels like a home when you eat here.

This is the best Thai in OKC, hands down. It is fresh, complex flavors, beautifully plated, and served in an aesthetically calming interior. We had the spicy squid and Pailin sticks to start. Both were delicious, but the squid was the stuff of dreams--perfectly spicy and crunchy. For entrees, I had the beef pad see ew, and my boyfriend had the duck curry. Both were out of this world delicious. I got the mango sticky rice for dessert, which was served with black rice and a healthy heap of mangoes. This place is a diamond!

Every dish we ordered was delicious but Mango sticky rice was AMAZING! Love the atmosphere of the place too, our server was polite and prompt.

This place is very tasty! I love the soups and noodles dishes. Next time I go I'll try something else, can't wait.

Awesome place. Small place and slightly limited seating for a bigger party. Ambience makes you feel like youre in Thailand. Real trees around with some waterfall statue. I tried their braised beef noodle and khao soi. Beef was really tender and broth had a slight sour taste to it. Khao soi was definitely heartier. Both really good and flavorful. Portions were a decent size and service was friendly. It seems like a one man team in the front. Swing by! Definitely worth a try!

Hands down best Thai food in the OKC/Moore/Norman area, AND Pailin has a great atmosphere/decor - great for date night or a meal with a small group of friends. Our group ordered and loved the Thai dumplings, edamame, friend spring rolls, wonton pad Thai, duck red curry, and chicken pad see-ew. You'll want to lick the bowl clean, but I recommend saving half for later so you've got room for the mango sticky rice.

Excellent food with the most friendly and attentive service I've had in the area. The thai tea is great as well, and the ambiance is really nice and relaxing. Definitely recommend this gem in Moore.

Decadent! Delectable! Delicious! Delightful! Deleterious! Delusional! Dreamy! Demanding!

I have been searching for the best Thai place in okc and I HAVE FINALLY FOUND IT! The green curry and fresh springs rolls were absolutely terrific! The green curry came with fried tofu and was the perfect consistency and taste!THIS IS THE BEST THAI FOOD IN OKC HANDS DOWN! AND I have tried 9 different spots before finding this one! The service was incredible and I will only come here for my Thai food from now on! : Now I will I'll tell you why I believe this place is the best in OKC ! I always get GREEN CURRY no matter what Thai place I go to because it's my favorite dish and that's how I judge which is the best. I use to live in LA and they have the best Thai food in the states hands down. So I compare Every Thai place in okc to what I experienced in la and look for similarities in taste and consistency! Every Thai place I visited in okc Before PAILIN always told me that the green curry comes spicy and it cannot be made less spicy. Which was new for me and I can't stand it because I don't like it too spicy it's hard to eat and it burns my mouth. This also to me makes me think that either their curry paste is pre made or pre bought and not fresh or made from scratch. True Thai places ask you what level of spicy you prefer. When Pailin asked me what level of spicy I wanted I ALREADY KNEW they were gonna be the best! I literally savored every bite and had so much left over!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND PAILIN THAI! Delicious

Excellent food and service. Definitely a great stop! Nice, quaint setting also. Our dishes were both good and we kept sharing!

Love the pad Thai. The service is quick and always fantastic. Plus, the restaurant is adorable. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Holy **** this is THE best Thai food I've had in the metro area. I've been going to Sala Thai for almost thirty years and they're wonderful, but this place is a huge step up. The portions are huge, the dishes are interesting and everything I've ordered has been absolutely delicious. It's close to my new job and I've probably eaten there 20 times now (4 in a row one week). The lady who runs the front counter and serves the food is very friendly and very fast.

Best Thai Restaurant in Moore!!! We were there last night and everything was amazing! I love the decorations and the atmosphere. Food was fantastic 10/10. We had Salmon curry, pad thai, larb, spicy squid, pineapple fried rice and Pailin stick. The service was beyond amazing. The owner is so nice and friendly. She also gave us the coconut sticky rice for complimentary. We will definitely come back. Highly recommend this to everyone!

This place is awesome. Everyone is sweet and efficient. The food is the best in their category. If they opened a new, larger location, I am confident they would still fill the place.

Wow... wow wow wow! This place has it all! Flavor, ambience, customer service, quality, serving sizes, you name it! I've eaten a lot of Thai food and this place is it for me. The Pad See Ew is out of this world and the Thai fried dumplings with the chili sauce, holy smokes! It's a must try

Excellent food. The service is wonderful. They are so kind. We generally order to go but the restaurant inside is so pretty and serine. I love the ambiance! I would definitely recommend this restaurant! Fried Spring Rolls,Massaman Curry these two are my favorites!!

6/6/21 Had a craving for Thai and it was satisfied. The shrimp tom yum was your standard tom yum soup and the shrimp was cooked perfectly to start off the meal. We had their special pork stew curry and the pork was so tender and the curry sauce was so good I used all the rice to soak it up to make sure nothing was left behind. The beef pad see ew was good as well but the best part was the lady working there. She checked on us regularly, made sure we got everything we needed and more, and at the end of the meal she gave us this refreshing iced thai green tea and some packs of lychee jelly. She reminded me of my mom on how much she will go through to make us happy and to enjoy the food.

This is the best Thai place in Moore! I have been to many others, but the quality of the food and speed of the service is continually pleasant to be around. I have not had anything that I have disliked and their Thai Coffee is incredible!!

Weird hours food was average nothing over the top special. I would go back more but hours are wierd; especially weekends closed at like 4pm

Great food had the salmon curry it was delicious and big portion. My kid enjoyed the unicorn chopsticks haha!

Our go to Thai place. Food is always delicious and ready on time. Can't say enough good things about this place. If you haven't tried it, you should. I recommend the green curry, spice level 3. My wife would say the Pad Thai, spice level 2. However, my youngest would say spicy vegetables with tofu, spice level 3. You probably should get one of each just to be sure.

Wow! Incredible!! Just had the best dinner and perhaps the best Thai food I've ever experienced. The flavors here are absolutely amazing. We ordered Pad Thai with Beef spicy level one and Green Curry with chicken spicy level one and the dishes came out beyond perfection! Our appetizers were so good! Palin Sticks ( crispy long thin egg rolls filled with flavorful chicken and cilantro ) and crispy chicken wings fried to perfection. The owners here bring you total authenticity when it comes to their cooking. You can tell everything is made with love and high quality ingredients. Seriously you won't find better Thai Food then this! Can't wait to eat here again!!!

Curry is phenomenal! Everything is played beautifully. Haven't had a bad dish here. The staff is super friendly and helpful. This little place is a vibe inside as well.

My favorite Thai place! The mango sticky rice is a must. Every dish I've had here is delicious.

This place was wonderful! My favorite new Thai restaurant. Ordered the pineapple fried rice & green curry. Delicious!

My coworker picked up food for lunch while she was running errands. She said the interior was really cute and clean. Even with a drive for it to get to me, the drunken noodles were delicious. The noodles had just the right amount of sauce and heat level 2 was plenty for me. I hope to have the chance to try more items on the menu.

I ordered the fried spring rolls (came with 3) and thai dumplings (came with only 5) for delivery. They were both $5 each, and satisfying! The dumplings were crispy and needed some flavor (a little bland) but were still very good. The spring rolls were delicious and the sauce that came with it was amazing! Maybe a duck sauce, ugh so good! Plus it came with a fortune cookie . I will definitely order from them again!

Best Thai food I have had in a while! The Thai green tea was so tasty and refreshing. The spring rolls were fresh and exactly as advertised. The service was great on a slow Sunday. Loved the decor as well. Highly recommend this restaurant !

I moved to Moore from OKC recently and this place quickly became my favorite to-go stop. The pad thai is consistently delicious, spring rolls are crunchy and fresh, and the soups I've tried have been awesome. The tofu is always a great consistency which is hard to find sometimes. The people who work there are always super kind and they're taking all of the proper COVID-19 precautions.

Very good food for a good price! Super quick pick up service, and a cute waiting area with some Thai shopping.

Very nice staff. We had the pad see ew, shrimp pad Thai, kids fried rice, and Thai tea. Everything was so good! I wish we lived closer so I could eat there regularly.

Go. Just go. Atmosphere is classy yet quaint & adorable and also calming. I could tell from the appetizers that this was exceptionally done Thai food. The dumplings were crispy yet tender, Thai tea was delicious and prettiest presentation I've seen and being in a bowl it lasted my whole meal, curry was perfect level of heat (level 2 out of 3) and the duck was so tender, the pineapple gave a sweet relief from the delightful heat. The mango sticky rice was the best I've ever had, not too dry or congealed, and being whole grain red rice made me happy about eating a more nutritious dessert which heightened the quality rather than making it feel "healthy." Service was attentive, food came out super quick.

Best Thai food I've ever had. The women that works here is a sweetheart, and the food is consistently amazing. The servings are generous and the flavor is WOW. This place tops any other Thai restaurants in the area.

Delicious food! We tried the drunken noodles, and basil fried rice. Fresh and flavorful!
