63. Pad Z-Ew was tasty, as was the 61. Pad Thai. Unfortunately, portions are significantly smaller than my usual place. The 61. Pad Thai containers were 3/4 full, and the pad 63. Pad Z-Ew was about 2/3 full.

I almost never write reviews but felt strongly about Jaopaya. Pad Thai is light and fresh, and the Panang curry was great. Restaurant staff was able to accommodate my allergies without any issues. I ordered through DoorDash and got the 2 for 1 Pad Thai Deal and the Panang. The restaurant realized a portion was excluded from the bag that was handed to the doordasher, and went out of their way to call me and deliver the item themselves. You don't see many restaurants executing this standard of care nowadays, and I certainly appreciated it.

I don’t usually leave reviews, but this Thai spot absolutely deserves the shoutout. From the moment we walked in, the staff was warm, welcoming, and attentive without being overbearing. The atmosphere had a cozy vibe with traditional decor and soft music that set the perfect mood.
Now onto the food — wow. We ordered the Pad Thai, Panang Curry with chicken, and mango sticky rice for dessert. The Pad Thai was perfectly balanced — not too sweet, not too salty, and had just the right amount of heat. The curry was creamy, rich, and bursting with flavor, and the jasmine rice was fluffy and fresh. The mango sticky rice? Dreamy. Fresh mango and warm coconut-sweetened rice — absolutely perfect.
Drinks were also solid — Thai iced tea was smooth and not overly sugary. Prices were fair for the portions, and everything came out quickly and hot.
If you’re looking for a great Thai place that doesn’t cut corners on flavor or hospitality, this is it. We’ll definitely be back soon!

77. Combination Fried Rice was delicious, wish there was more shrimp though. all my special requests were acknowledged, so I really appreciate that and the Thai Tea was yummy. however the Sweet Sticky Rice with Mango (Seasonal) mango selection was extremely sour and tart,it looks ripe but it wasn't it was just a bad mango either way it ruined the dessert. it's usually pretty good, I thij y'all just need to try the mangos next time before sending them out. but great deal for happy hour prices.

This was my go to spot for thai food but the quality has gone down significantly while the prices have gone up. I usually get the flat noodles like 63. Pad Z-Ew but they have been extremely mushy and old. Makes me want to gag when I eat it. The Sweet Sticky Rice with Mango (Seasonal) also was very mushy and old. Hope they can produce better quality food.
