Paya Thai Kitchen

I was in Atlanta visiting family and my Airbnb host recommended this place. I’m so glad she did, because it was some of the best Thai food I’ve had, hands down. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was great — when you first walk in you’re greeted by this wonderful exotic smell. It’s the diffuser by the door with an oil that the owner makes herself (I know because I asked her and she agreed to sell me a bottle — I was not leaving the state of Georgia without it!). Now my house smells like Paya and I’m obsessed.

This Thai restaurant has a beautiful vibe. The flavors are soft and well-balanced, not overpowering the taste of the ingredients. My yuzu mocktail is very refreshing! Overall, I think all their signature dishes were great. I'll come back.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 A Hidden Thai Gem You Absolutely Shouldn’t Miss! I had an amazing dining experience at Paya, and I truly can’t recommend it enough. The food here is exceptional every dish is packed with authentic Thai flavors and made with real care. The Pad Thai Wings are an absolute must-try. They’re incredibly flavorful, perfectly balanced, and unlike anything you’ll find elsewhere. This is the dish you simply cannot miss. Their beef dishes are also outstanding. Whether it’s the Nam Tok Beef Salad, the signature “Crying Tiger” the beautifully grilled Ribeye, the meat is unbelievably tender and infused with that bold Thai taste. The Pad Kee Mao noodles are another highlight fragrant, little spicy, and so satisfying. I definitely recommend ordering it. Don’t end your meal without dessert! They offer a selection of house-made desserts, prepared fresh and available in limited quantities each day. It’s the perfect sweet finish and worth saving room for. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, perfect for both casual dinners and special nights out. Service is excellent our server Ploy was so attentive, kind, and genuinely cared about how we were enjoying everything. The rest of the staff were also friendly and consistently checked in on our table. I also got to try several of their cocktails, and each one impressed me with amazing flavors and beautiful presentation. I’m already looking forward to coming back to explore more of the menu. If you’re in the area, do yourself a favor and visit Paya. This little Thai corner is a true standout delicious food, great service, and a memorable experience.

Pluy was the best server I have had at a restaurant in a long time. She was super attentive, knowledgeable of the menu w/great suggestions and so friendly. You don't get service like this often. Not to mention the menu, food, drinks and atmosphere where **chefs kiss**. Will definitely be back here.

I really enjoyed the food. I got the Garlic Pepper with veggies and shrimp. So delicious! Our waitress, Zoe, was attentive, easygoing, and fun. She took the experience over the top. We did have a problem initially finding the restaurant as we were driving in. It was hidden behind Brown Bag Seafood and Jeni's Ice Cream. A sign you can read from the parking lot/street would do a lot to help patrons find the restaurant. And only people who know it's there will be able to find it. But overall, I recommend this place.

An Authentic Thai Culinary Masterpiece! ​This restaurant is a true gem. If you're looking for authentic Thai food that tastes like it came straight from a kitchen in Bangkok, this is your spot. Every single dish we ordered was an explosion of perfectly balanced, delicious flavor. ​We started with the appetizers: the Larb Gai was zesty, fresh, and had the perfect spicy-sour kick. The Chicken Satay was incredibly tender and juicy, served with a rich and addictive peanut sauce. We also couldn't resist the Roti Canai, which was flaky, buttery, and the perfect vessel for its delicious curry dip. ​For our main courses, the Pad See Ew had that wonderful smoky "wok hei" flavor with perfectly chewy, wide noodles. The Thai Basil Fried Rice was aromatic and packed with flavor, while the Massaman Curry was the star of the show – unbelievably rich, creamy, and complex. ​The biggest and most pleasant surprise was the bar. I ordered their Spicy Old Fashioned and it was a game-changer. It's a brilliantly crafted cocktail with the perfect balance of smoky bourbon sweetness and a lingering chili heat that complemented the food beautifully. It's a must-try! ​Five stars isn't enough. This is my new gold standard for Thai food. We will be back again and again!

@payathaikitchen was completely amazing during our recent visit for another #foodiefridays . The restaurant was absolutely stunning inside, as you can see from the pictures, the customer service was 5 star, and the food was amazing. So let's talk about the food: Crispy Duck Bites ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ We have never seen this on any other Thai menu, so we had to give it a taste, and it was everything we hoped and more. Full of flavorful duck meat, fried golden and crisp with a little citrus tang from the lime and herbs. Beautiful and unique dish. Roti Dip ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ Instantly hit our top 5 of roti dips in Atlanta. It was creamy, rich, aromatic, and tasty. Amazing appetizer. Crab Fried Rice ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ Giant chunks of crab, rice cooked to perfection, and all of the flavors you expect from 5 star Thai food. Guys, this place is amazing, we wouldn't lie to you because we are very picky about our Thai food. Please go visit them soon and often. I can tell you that you absolutely won't be disappointed!! #thaicuisines #thaifood #atlantafinds #eatatlanta #foodiesofinstagram #instagood #fridays #atlantablogger #foodbloggers #foodiesofinsta #atlanta #t_vfooduniverse2025 #foodieadventure #thaicuisine #foodfinds #westmidtownatl #5star #goodvibesonly #foodiefriends #foodiefriday #foodiefridayswitht_vfooduniverse #vibes #restaurantblogger #weeating

Amazing little place! I was craving Thai food and this has been a place for me that I’ve saved for a while. Finally was able to make time and try their food! The atmosphere is calming and so pleasant. Server is so kind and attentive, I feel like I’ve been here before because of the hospitality. The food? The presentation? Phenomenal 💕 Highly recommend for anyone that wants some peace and great food for comfort. (Side note: parking is not free! May preauthorize $30 for the $5 parking fee) Will be back 💕💕 Thank you for the great hospitality and meal!

Parking: Westside Provisions District: $6.50 for 2-4 Hours Professional Thai Chefs from Thailand. I was so impressed, definitely a 5-Star Experience for a romantic date. We tried the Crab Curry Vermicelli, Pad Thai Wings, Chicken Larb Salad, Seafood Hot Pot, Pad Thai Noodles, Lobster Pineapple Fried Rice, Coconut Cake and Mango Sticky Rice. My personal fav: Seafood hotpot, Pad Thai Wings, Chicken Pad Thai, Lobster Pineapple Fried Rice, Coconut Cake and Sticky Mango Rice. Seriously, the best I've ever had! Proffesional Bartender: Khun Ying's Martini (purple) Mae Khwan's Cosmo (red), Dichan (Green) and Tâan Khun's Vesper (smoke). My favorite the Dichan, so tasty I want a second drink. Looking for the ultimate date night spot in Atlanta? Paya Thai Kitchen is a hidden gem serving the BEST Pad Thai and Lobster Pineapple Fried Rice--so fresh, flavorful, and packed with authentic Thai taste. The cocktails are just as impressive, with stunning presentations that make every sip feel special. Add in the romantic ambiance, and you've got the perfect spot to impress your date while enjoying truly authentic flavors that hit different.

The good things first. On site parking is definitely a positive. It's a beautiful restaurant inside and the hostess was very polite seating me immediately. Actually, all of the staff were friendly and made sure I was well taken care of. Things that could have gone better. The Tom Kha Gai was entirely too sweet for my taste but with the addition of some chili oil it turned out to be not so bad. Of course sweet or not sweet is a subjective matter but what's not subjective is undercooked Pad See Ew noodles. The overall flavor was great but I wasn't digging on the crunchy noodles. Despite the three stars I would probably give them another shot so it must not have been too bad. See for yourself. Maybe you'll like crunchy noodles!

We were in the West Midtown area and craving Thai food when we came across PAYA on Google. Since it's a newer restaurant, we decided to give it a try as a family, and it did not disappoint! One of my favorite things about this place is that they give you four different sauces at the table. It makes such a big difference and really enhances the flavors of the food. The calamari was excellent -- so much so that my kids asked for seconds, and we ended up ordering two! The Pad Thai was fresh and flavorful, and we also really enjoyed the garlic and black pepper beef dish. On top of that, the entire restaurant smelled amazing the moment we walked in. The only downside was the service. It felt a bit slow, and it seemed like one person was juggling hostess, bartender, and server duties, so some of our needs weren't met when the food came out. That said, the food itself was fantastic, and we definitely plan on going back!

Very nice atmosphere and presentation of food. I had the yellow curry with chicken, and others at my table had the roti dip and the tri-flavored cod. Everybody enjoyed their food. Minor nitpick on my meal ... the size of the potatoes is too large, like basically half a potato... you would be able to enjoy the flavor of the curry with the potatoes much more if the potatoes were cut smaller. Also, I could have used more rice. Our server was average. Friendly enough, but didn't spend quite enough time with us. It was a busy night for sure.

This Thai restaurant has a beautiful vibe. The flavors are soft and well-balanced, not overpowering the taste of the ingredients. My yuzu mocktail is very refreshing! Overall, I think all their signature dishes were great. I'll come back.

The food, the decor, and the service was excellent. We started sitting inside the restaurant but decided we wanted to sit on the patio and enjoy the view. Everything was flavorful, came out quickly, and made with fresh ingredients. I love the attention to detail they have with the playing and garnishes of the drinks.

Lovely Location. Great food, excellent service. I truly recommend this restaurant to Thai food lovers.

Fantastic Thai Food on Howell Mill! I had an amazing experience here -- easily one of the best Thai spots in Atlanta. The flavors were perfectly balanced, fresh, and authentic. Every dish tasted like it was made with real care. The Pad Thai was spot on, the curry was rich and fragrant, and the presentation was beautiful.

I really wish I could write the best review ever but I will say Tyler I really hope that's his name because my review is over 2 weeks late! Anyways the service was amazing. The food was great. Recommendations were everything. Nothing about this place is hyped up. It's worth it. The vibes were great. The inside was great for a date night or just out with a group. You will love it. So many things to choose from. The green curry and everything else was just WOW!!!

This post is your cue to try Paya Thai. The Khao Soi ribeye over egg noodle and the short rib served with mashed potatoes are delicious!!!!! The flavors, the sauce/curry, the presentation, the service....impeccable. I also had the crab fried rice and the Siam scallop dish a couple of months back. I'm eating my way through their menu as you can see. I'll be back Paya Thai!

Love, love, love this restaurant. Every single dish I had was amazing! The food tasted so authentic and was so good as if I were in Thailand. I can't wait to go back and try more dishes. The location is in an area where you can either valet or self park in the lot. Service was good, everyone was friendly. The ambiance is so nice. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Definitely try this place out if you love Thai food!

First time trying this place, and overall it was a good experience! The ambiance is lovely and welcoming. * Papaya salad: Tasted great, but the portion was quite small. * Penang curry: Authentic and flavorful -- definitely a highlight. * Spring rolls: Just okay; could've been better if cooked a bit longer. * Basil fried rice with shrimp: Really tasty and well-balanced. * Thai tea: Spot on! Perfect amount of ice and just the right sweetness.

We had an excellent server who was very kind and attentive. They have some interesting cocktails made with pandan leaves and red onions. Pandan leaf cocktails are getting pretty popular but not red onions! The red onion was an excellent cocktail for those of you that do not like sweet and might enjoy something that has a similar taste to a ginger cocktail (fresh ginger. Not that candy-like ginger you would get in a soda). The cocktails are definitely not strong and I doubt that even 5 or 6 would have gotten me drunk (I am not an alcoholic) but if you like to taste cocktails for fun this would be a nice experience. The food was very delicious. They make the food a comfortable level of spicy with "Thai hot" and will give you fresh bird chili on the side if you want more spice. Portion sizes are a little bit small in my opinion. Prices are comparable to other Thai places closer to the city of Atlanta versus a Thai restaurant in Jimmy Carter Blvd. Unfortunately I do not remember all of the names of everything we ordered but everything looked and tasted delicious. The mango with sticky rice comes with the butterfly pea rice that makes it blue. There is only one other Thai place that I know that does that so I am glad to have found another. The Thai tea crème brûlée was my favorite dessert as it has a strong tea taste. I would definitely come back here again.

We came on a Monday night for dinner and there was no wait. The staff was very nice and attended to us whenever we had questions or needed anything. All the dishes we ordered were delicious. All the meats were cooked very well and the dishes that had curry were super yummy. I would say the Thai tea crème brûlée was my favorite! If you come on Monday nights, they have 50% off on bottled wines so if you came with a group of friends, this is a perfect thing to order!

This is by far one of the best meals i've eaten in a really long time. I spent around $130 and I felt great about it. I've been craving Thai food so when I came across this place as I was walking to Jeni's I knew I had to come back and check them out. Well that's exactly what I did not even a week later. I brought my mom here on Memorial Day to celebrate my last day of freedom before I had to return to work the next day. We didn't have a reservation but, we still were able to be seated without any issues. At first glance I thought the restaurant was beautiful, it smelled nice, and I loved the jazz music they were playing. It really tied everything together. We started off with the Thom Ka Coconut Soup (not pictured) and the Shrimp Jeeb. For our entrees we received the Shrimp Pad See Ew and the Tofu Spicy Eggplant (not pictured). I got the Thai Tea (not pictured) to drink while my mom enjoyed some hot Jasmine Tea (not pictured). For dessert I went a little crazy and ordered every one available. I got the Thai Tea Creme Brulee. It was absolutely divine! My mom got a slice of their coconut cake which she enjoyed. I got the Mango Sticky Rice to-go. I completely devoured the sticky rice as soon as I got home. It didn't stand a chance. It was probably the best sticky rice i've ever had. I'll come back to this restaurant for the sticky rice alone. I can't wait to come back and check out other items on the menu.

Ambiance was great, very quiet on a Friday night (8:30-9:30pm). Perfect for an intimate dinner. Service was good and our server was very attentive. Food was a 10/10 and large portions. The flavor was amazing, the curry seasoning the rice and the short ribs were so flavorful.

Paya was very good. If you are in the area visiting other local spots or shopping this seems a good place to stop, especially without a reservation (as many of the other restaurants here require one). The calamari was good, but I LOVED the fried jalapenos that came with it and wish that was its own dish! The pad kee mao was not the most flavorful but with some added chiles was pretty good. My husband had the beef with black pepper and garlic and that was super yummy! Coconut cake was also very good. Service was excellent. Including bar staff who were very friendly! I did notice that I think (not sure) that there was a whole back section of the restaurant and it seemed like they were sitting people in the front section, right up next to each other. II would rather not be right up next to other guests if there is a whole other section available. They also have a cute outdoor area so if it's nice out that would be perfect. Of note cocktails were almost 20$ (16-18 each) we got a beer each, and Sapporo were $8 if you're a beer drinker for reference. Overall 4 stars because the service was excellent! If you're in the area and in the mood for Thai, definitely worth it if you've already paid for parking

I'd first like to say that the service was exceptional (I sat at the bar). Super attentive, and knowledgeable about the items on the menu. I ordered a sweet tea and water, spring rolls, curry and roti for appetizers, and for my entree veggie basil fried rice. The portions were very filling. Appetizers were great. My entree was a little underwhelming. The flavor was off a bit and not as flavorful as I had hoped. I would return again just based off the service alone. Forgot to add...the food came out piping hot!! Perfecto!!

My friend and I decided to try Paya Thai for dinner. The restaurant had an intimate, cozy ambiance, and I liked the minimal, yet classy décor. The service was excellent. Our waitress was friendly, accommodating, and attentive without being intrusive throughout our dinner. For my drink, I had the Thai Iced Tea, which was creamy and not overly sweet. For appetizers, we ordered two soups: the Tom Yum Lemongrass Soup ($10) and the Tom Kha Coconut Soup ($10). They both were delicious! The Tom Yum had a citrusy kick with just the right amount of tang, while the Tom Kha was creamy and fragrant, with a coconut undertone. For my entrée, I had the Chicken Basil Fried Rice ($22), which was unfortunately underwhelming compared to other versions I've had. The ingredients were fresh, but the dish lacked the bold flavors I expected, and despite requesting it to be spicy, it arrived with little heat. While the Basil Fried Rice didn't hit the mark, everything else was enjoyable, and I'd return to try more from their menu.

We dined at Paya for a 7pm Friday night dinner reservation. Ambiance: Pro - decor and design is beautiful! Con - seating layout lacks intimacy. There's a long booth style bench in the middle of the restaurant with tables aligned fairly close to one another. I could hear the conversations of the people seated on either side. Food: 4 out of 5 Branzino - first time having the dish. It was flavorful...and the fish was tender and fresh. Great option. WOW factor! Massaman Curry - tasted like the $15 version I order for pick up up the street. Good amount of cashews...needed more spices. No wow factor. Service: 3 out of 5. Con: The restaurant seems understaffed. It took a while for the hostess to greet and seat us. Ordered their version of a espresso martini with our initial drink order. The drink didn't come until we were finishing up our meal. (The waitress said the bar was short staffed) Pro: despite being busy, the waitress was very nice, provided suggestions, and didn't rush the experience. I'd come again for sure just maybe not for an intimate date night vibe.

My mom absolutely loves this place -- and now I get why! It's a great little spot in a nice location Their desserts are so good -- honestly, even better than Jeni's in my opinion. Everything is fresh, flavorful, and made with care.

Paya Thai far exceeded my expectations from the interior decor, ambiance to plating and food/drinks. You would never guess such a beautiful restaurant lies within Westside Provisions. The server and manager were professional, attentive, and so knowledgeable in helping us pick our food and drink options. I was most intrigued by the drink menu - mostly the Vesper (has Tom Yum syrup) and Pandan Milk Tea (made with coconut milk). For the Vesper, I really didn't taste much of the Tom Yum syrup, but the texture was a bit thicker. A little disappointed but the drink itself was made well. However, I LOVED the Pandan Milk Tea! Growing up, my grandmother made a lot of sweets/pastries with pandan and this took me back to my childhood. I highly recommend for everyone to try this one! For food: A friend and I split the Hot Pot Tom Tum which came in a beautifully decorated blue & gold pot. It was perfect for a cold winter night, and tasted like it was made with such care. (Don't forget a side of rice!)We were so glad that we picked this option. The other dishes were also delicious, but I will need to come back to update what they picked. Lastly, the coconut cake was actually the star of the dinner. Our waitress let us know it is made with a Thai dessert recipe and I had to fight the urge to lick the plate. You MUST try this dessert! Safe to say, I'll be back!

The West End was kissing a great upscale Thai place and now we finally have one! Paya just opened, so it wasn't busy at all. We opted for outdoor seating since it was beautiful outside. The service was excellent - very attentive and great suggestions from the menu. I was having trouble choosing between 3 different things - everything looked delicious. The Basil Fried rice was well seasoned and with seafood you get a great amount of seafood. Noodles on the Pad Kee Mao was some of the best I've had. The Glass Noodle Salad was refreshing and comes with a great amount of seafood as well. We also got a Thai Tea. It was the perfect balance of sweet. One piece of feedback: The overall portions of everything are on the smaller side, especially for the price. I will definitely be back to try the Bronzino!

I love it when I discover another great Thai restaurant! Service was quick and attentive. Every dish we tried was authentic & made with care: -Calamari- tasty, paired with fried jalapeños to give it at unexpected kick for those who love spice! -Short rib -my fave! Savory dish yet also light. Paired well with mashed potatoes, which perfectly sopped up all the spices from the 6hr braised ribs. High quality meat. Well worth the price! I would order this entree again should I have (another) big appetite! -Crab fried rice -fresh, well seasoned, and made with real crab! -Thai tea-can't go wrong. Good balance to our meals without being overly sweet. Definitely worth a revisit. Next time I'm bringing a group & sitting in one of their gorgeous yet comfy booths! Paya Thai is the newest, and yet, they have come to stay! Welcome to the A!

I went to Paya for dinner to catch up with a friend. I was blown away by how gorgeous this restaurant is! The decor is just stunning. The food is great, too, although be prepared for a higher price point. I had the pad see eu with beef and I loved it. My dining companion had the chicken khao soi and said it was wonderful. We ended our meal with Thai tea creme brulee--yum! I will definitely return for the food, but need to call out the fact that you have to pay for parking at this shopping center now and the restaurant doesn't provide a validation, which I absolutely hate. Y'all should take care of parking for your clients!

Excellent, attentive service and great food. We enjoyed the outdoor seating and the weather was perfect! Highly recommend this place for great food and ambiance. Palm was an amazing server!!! We look forward to returning soon!

So let's be honest, any restaurant coming behind RedBird had some BIG shoes to fill. Well I can say without a shadow of a doubt Paya Thai is definitely a restaurant that is taking shape to the Howell Mill area! I walk in and the ambiance is great, music is absolutely a vibe, and the staff is so welcoming. I start off with the fried calamari and it was fresh and filling. My next meal is the vegetable Curry with Jasmine Rice. It was absolutely phenomenal. The curry was creamy, sweet, and the tender. It was so good, im considering driving back tonight for dinner. And I'm dead serious! lol Welcome Paya Thai to the Howell Mill area and here's to an exciting 2025 for you!

I was so excited to try this Thai restaurant that just opened in the West Midtown area. I absolutely love Thai food. First impressions - very pleasant hosts, beautiful fragrance throughout the restaurant, very nice decor and Thai art on the walls. Our waitress was very sweet and attentive. The food I would give 6.5/10, here's why... the cocktail selection seemed limited to me. I wouldn't say this would be a great place to sit and have drinks and apps at the bar. Not much of a wine selection either. The sauce that came with the calamari was really good. I also enjoyed that the calamari was crispy and not soggy. The crab fried rice was bland - we did ask for sweet chili sauce, which helped. The pannang curry was ok - the sauce was flavored well. The chicken was white meat and a bit dry in my opinion. The veggies in the dish were super crispy. We will go back and try other menu items!

-The natural light that seeps through the bottles in the window, carefully placed in their array, paired with the warmth of color scheme, and a softly under lit bar has you wishing to stay seated a little while longer. Paya Thai succeeds in cultivating an environment that has all the right finishing touches. -The hospitality, love and attention our host and server, Ploy, provided us was exceptional! She made our dining experience so personal by her kind smile and willingness to converse! Every time she stopped by our table, it wasn't due to routine but the pure desire to ensure our happiness! Her positive presence and smile is contagious, only aiding in the many reasons to return! -The food that was selected began with the refreshing and crunchy Shrimp basil rolls that were like perfectly portioned salads without the mess! The Tom Kha Hotpot came in such a beautiful ornate dish, presenting a creamy, hot, soup that made us forget of the frigid winter air that awaited outside for us. But the coconut cake was simply the most crucial, and unforgettable dish as it was as light as a wispy summer cloud. Every spoonful yielded itself to melting onto your tongue, with a solid touch of fruit to bring us back to Earth. The Thai tea to take home with us is the signature beverage that should be made standard with every visit, it keeps the Thai experience going even once you leave. This will hopefully become your go to Thai place as it has most certainly become for me!

Food was delicious, service was good and the ambiance was great. Massaman needs more sauce though.

We went here on a whim with no expectations and were so excited to have found such a great spot! Food and ambiance were top notch. Our group got the Chicken Kao Soi, Green Curry, Chicken Satay, Basil Fried Rice, Pad See Ew and Tom Kha Coconut. We also ordered Thai Tea's. Out of those things, the only thing I wouldn't order again is the Chicken Satay. Everything else was lick-the-plate-clean delicious. Thai Tea's were PERFECTLY balanced, I was addicted. And we were all trying to get the last bits of the soup. The only thing to be mindful of is that portions are pretty small I look forward to another visit soon!!

The entire experience. The food was top notch and the service, wow! The ambiance and lighting was so warm and inviting. Also got to to meet the owner , he is so incredibly warm and welcoming. Bring your entire family here. Well worth it! Will be back!

Perhaps the best Thai restaurant in Intown Atlanta. Pad see u, pad Thai, green curry and spring rolls were all very, very good. Very nice atmosphere too, especially the outdoor seating and we enjoyed the attentive service as well. Prices are slightly above average for Thai in Atlanta but very good value considering the quality food and elegant, comfortable atmosphere.

Great food and service here! I understand how some complain a little about portion size. If you split an appetizer and get your own entree you should be satisfied. Food has great flavor and quality and you can get a side of chilli powder if it's not spicy enough. Also the drinks were very tasty. My one critique is that the chicken was a bit dry on the kaoh soi We will definitely be back

this place is a gem! i could eat here once a week. we sat outside and they have dividers to block the sun. the inside was gorgeous. the staff was friendly if maybe a slow. the scallop appetizer was a highlight. the crab vermicelli was to die for. the spring rolls were crisp and the coconut cake will not soon be forgotten.

The food is great The service is great The ambiance is beautiful No complaints You have to pay for parking Depending on your entree you can choose the level of spicy

Absolutely fantastic food and drinks. Design of restaurant is impeccable which only adds to the great ambiance. Service is excellent, fast, and kind. Will be coming back.

An absolute gem of a restaurant! It's beautifully decorated, nice music and the staff is very welcoming. Ploy took excellent care of me! I ordered shrimp in a blanket and the papaya salad. Both were delicious! Will be back!

Pad thai was great! Took a little while to come out but the nice atmosphere made the wait seem short. Mixed drinks were pretty good too and exotic. Nice staff as well.

I ordered the salmon panang but was accidentally given chicken. I didn't realize until after I'd eaten it, and I don't eat chicken, so I was pretty disappointed, especially considering the bowl was $23. When I brought it up, the owner offered to accommodate me, which I appreciated. I initially accepted a Thai tea, then asked about dessert and said I'd actually prefer the Thai crème brûlée. He went to the back, then came out to say it couldn't be taken to go because of how it's made. I asked what my options were, and when I finally chose the coconut cake, I was told I had to choose between that or the tea. I didn't feel like I was being unreasonable, I was just accepting the help that was offered. But instead of feeling cared for as a customer, I felt like I was being subtly punished for speaking up. The wildest part? The coconut cake was bomb. And the Thai tea would've paired with it perfectly. But the whole interaction turned what could've been a lovely moment into an awkward one. The food was okay, and the staff was polite, but the hospitality? Not so much. If you're going to offer to make something right, don't do it begrudgingly.

Excellent Thai food and service. Very authentic as if you were in Thailand. Will be my go to whenever I visit Atlanta

Great new Thai spot in the old Redbird spot. Friendly staff. Basil rolls were fresh and full of basil (maybe a bit too much) & sauce was flavorful. Soup was light and creamy - I'll go for a bit spicier next time. Crab rice had chunks of crab! We also got the king mushroom skewers and the sauce that came with it gave the rice a nice kick.

This was our first time here. We had a terrible experience. First off, even though the restaurant was empty they sat us at a narrow table right next to another couple. We had to ask to move because it was like we were having a double date. No space or privacy at all. Why would they seat us there? I'm not sure. I ordered the Pad Thai, and what I got was only about a quarter of a plate of food, and the noodles were soggy, tofu overcooked, not to mention it wasn't even warm. It was just disappointing overall. The papaya salad was way too spicy--borderline inedible. Also a tiny portion. Definitely not coming back. They were nice enough to comp part of our meal, but would not recommend this place to anyone looking for decent Thai food.

Service was excellent. Ambience was very nice, music may have been slightly over-volumed, but no big deal. Good beer and drink selection. Food was excellent. Very authentic taste and presentation. Would definitely recommend and come back! Great lunch.

Shrimp dumplings were hand crafted and amazing! Fried spring rolls SAME..!! Had the woon sen for my entree, spicy and perfect. Ask for Smiley as your personal Thai Guide..!! Super knowledgeable, friendly and professional.

Very cozy and classy ambiance, restaurant is on the smaller side so I felt well taken care of by my waiter. Best Massaman Curry I've had and I would go back for it. I got the Cosmo off the cocktail menu and it was great!

I had a great experience. The service was very attentive from the moment I walked in. I ordered the veggie spring rolls as an appetizer. They were pretty good but I will likely try a different small plate next time. For my entree I had the beef panang curry which was delicious, especially the curry sauce.

Came for the basil rolls, stayed for the Penang salmon. Amazing! All of it. Service was impeccable. Ambiance and patio wonderful. But the salmon was delightful. I'm very picky. I don't even know how they achieved a perfect crispy outside and tender inside. Vegetables were crisp and fresh and the sauce was perfection. Best Thai I've had in many years.

This was our first time trying Paya and we were very happy with the experience. The highlight was the salmon panang which was amazing. Great service too. We will be coming back again for sure.
