Food: Flavorless and disappointing meal

The Holy Basil Chicken, Pad Kee Mao, and Tom Kha Gai are supposed to be the highlights, but our taste buds were left unimpressed. Complaints ranged from the dishes being bland, tasteless, to having a bad aftertaste. Even the portions were underwhelming, too small, leaving us still hungry. The only saving grace was that the food was affordable.

  • Great Value

    Affordable, great value and lunch specials highly praised by many.

  • Almost Creative

    WOM lacks bite-sized context to explain the neutral Creativity sway.

  • Bad Taste

    Many found dishes bland, flavorless, burnt, or overall disappointing.

Top 3 dishes at Patakan Thai

    It's always on point and perfectly suits those who adore spicy flavors.

    Pad Kee Mao

    Large portions and flavorful, hot, spicy, and right off the stove.

    Tom Kha Gai

    Soothes sore throats with its lemongrass coconut milk, chicken, and mushrooms.

Vibe: Casual and uninspiring vibe

If you’re looking for an artsy and high-end ambiance, this place will let you down. It’s too casual for dates, and the lack of a high-end feel makes it unsuitable for special occasions. Even the transition from their previous location seems to have affected the overall atmosphere negatively.

  • Bad For Dates

    Too casual for dates, lacks high-end ambiance for special occasions.

Perks: Ample parking and friendly service

One fairly redeeming factor comes in the form of the service and convenience. The service at Patakan Thai is praiseworthy – fast and friendly, transforming the dining experience. Parking is also easy with plenty of spaces. However, if you're planning on a group gathering, the setting is intimate and won't work.

  • Great Service

    Service praised for speed, friendliness; leads to exceptional dining experience.

  • Okay To Park

    Weekday parking is fine; may be an issue during busy hours.

  • Bad For Groups

    Intimate setting not suitable for hosting larger groups or parties.
