Chef Seng Luangrath, Chef and Co-Owner of Thip Khao and Hanumanh, welcomes you to PADAEK, a family-owned restaurant specializing in traditional Lao and Thai cuisine.
I'm really impressed with Paedaek! As a vegetarian who eats eggs but not anything seafood-related, it's difficult to get egg and no fish sauce in Thai noodles, especially ordering delivery. Also very impressive, extra veggie's wasn't listed as an option so I asked for it in the special request section and crossed my fingers. 15 minutes after placing the order I got a notification saying I was being charged another couple bucks for a special request! Most times I've tried asking for anything in the special request section it's totally ignored (like "vegetarian no fish sauce but egg is OK") so I was really happy to see Padaek actually reads request notes. That said, "medium spicy" ended up less than mild but that's fine, I own my own sriracha. I'll definitely continue ordering here!

Pad Thai was dry and only had 2.3 ounces of meat (not much on value) This place was once so good. The Naem Kho Thadeau is missing the balance of fresh mint, cilantro, Thai basil it once had in the past. I assume
New chef/owner? Worth it? Take out or delivery may simply be the worst way to try this place. Perhaps in person it won't be as disappointing.

I used to get food from Padaek frequently, but haven't gotten food from there recently until today. The food quality seems to have gone down hill. The Naem Khao Thadaeu was so salty that I felt like I was going to get a heart attack. I've also noticed that the portion size has gotten smaller. The Naem Khao Thadaeu is 1/3 of what it used to be and for the Taohu Tod, I had to do a double take because it was so tiny. It was placed inside a tiny container and the size of the tofu was so small that I was very confused about what I just ordered. I don't think I would get food from here again, which is sad because it was one of my favorite restaurants back in the day.

Drunken noodles were very dry and lacking in basil, lacking in flavor. Likeiwse for the greencurry. The restaurants are severely cost cutting on the amount of garnish, bean sprouts, and other toppings which are needed to make the dish tasty. And they charge a whole lot more for substandard food. VERY SAD.

This may well be my favorite restaurant in the world. I've been in NE Thailand much and the flaming-hot foods there are my kind of stuff. Padaek is the only place I've found, anywhere, that meets that kind of fire. Delightful! Click on "Lao Spicy" and ask for extra chile peppers. Marvelous! EVERYTHING from Padaek has been perfect.
