This was one of the worst meals we’ve had in recent memory. One dish, Pad See Ew, immediately smelled strongly burnt and unpleasant from the moment it was brought to the table — and it tasted the same, with a bitter burnt flavor that made it impossible to eat. The other dish, Pad Woon Sen, was at best okay but pretty bland and low on flavor.

The worst part, though, was that when the server (and sole front-of-house employee) noticed that we hadn’t touched the disgusting burnt dish and that we declined a box and just requested a check, he asked if something was wrong with the food. We politely told him — and while he did offer to have it remade (an offer we declined, as we were ready to just get out of there at that point and had no faith in the kitchen’s ability or desire to eat any further food coming out of it by then), he ultimately then brought us the bill with both dishes still on it at the full usual price.

We just assumed any reasonable restaurant would at the very least take the bad dish off the bill in a situation like this and not charge us for what was clearly bad food that we didn’t touch, but alas.

We also couldn’t help but wonder how both the cook and the server failed to notice the overwhelming burnt smell coming from the dish and determined it was good enough to serve regardless. That alone makes us question the restaurant’s judgment and how much, if at all, it even cares about the quality of the food it’s serving.

I hate to be negative and rarely leave reviews that aren’t the result of glowingly positive interactions, but I’ve never had Thai food this bad or a worse overall Thai restaurant experience. It’s a shame, as we love the idea of a little local place like this right in South Pas. But this is a restaurant best avoided. We certainly won’t be back again.

Great local place to go…value for the money. Most of dishes are under $15. Foods are decent and pretty good. A/C is not working so it’s bit hot inside. Maybe they are trying to cut costs by not running the ac. They have to invest on it even they do not have enough customers. We almost left because of the AC. With good prices and decent food, we will definitely go back.
Please put the AC on.

I love that food so much and this place is perfect for my Thai food cravings. I’m gonna come here quite often. Thai food is a comfort food I will never let go of. This place has absolutely amazing and rich flavors in the dishes. I recommend tom yong koong. Although it is an acquired taste you will learn to love it. I was sick today and it was the perfect soup to make me feel better. The drunken noodles are a classic. Gonna try it next time I come here. Service is amazing. Prices are great. Food is immaculate. Usually plenty of parking.

I just came to the United States to eat once. I haven’t been here for a long time. The decoration of the store and the food are different. It’s very good. The curry is delicious.

Great food with outdoor seating. Love that this places offers that and has seafood in their Tom kha as an option. The food is usually spicy so be sure to mention that you want mild or no spice.

This is one of my very favorite Thai places. The food is delicious but the lunch special is even better. Less than $8 for soup, salad, wontons, rice and a choice of entree. Pictured is my favorite, the Pad See Ew but the Pad Thai is also killer too. The staff is super sweet and getting takeout is so easy. They deliver too!

The orange chicken had no flavor and was very crunchy with hardly any orange sauce flavor! The pot stickers were not thoroughly fried and were raw on the edges.

Patakan Thai Restaurant is located conveniently on South Fair Oaks near the 110 freeway. There is ample parking. I visited for lunch. My meal was tasty (Panang Curry)! The table was extremely wobbly and the temperature was quite warm in the restaurant. Decent prices.

Had the pad see ewe with chicken and the mint leaf (basil) chicken served with fried egg and steamed rice. It was very delicious! Tasted authentic. The food is served quickly and the prices are reasonable.
