First experience here, based on other Thai restaurant's, this one has some serious flavor but the protein portions are incredibly small. I forgot to take a picture but for $15-16, one should be getting more than 3-4oz of chicken. Most adults won't be full off of one entree. This issue isn't unique to this restaurant, shrinkflation is a real thing and why I choose to eat at home primarily. Overall, very clean and friendly.

Amazing food and service! Don't miss out on this hidden gem. We started with the chicken satay. It was fresh and hot and delicious. My dining partner ordered the Tom Yum noodles, I ordered Latb with chicken. Both worse amazing and we are going to come back for sure! It's not a fancy place, but it's clean and the food is delicious and fresh.

Been wanting to come here for a long time and was fully expecting a 5-star review which makes it a bit disappointing I need to give it only 4. Perhaps the numerous, glowing reviews of the Crying Tiger entree raised my expectations... or maybe it was just a bad night. But I didn't find it to be anything special and actually quite chewy / tough.The Tom Yum soup was delicious and the steamed seafood was decent with somewhat rubbery squid. Service was fine. Ambiance was as expected. Overall a good place that I'm willing to try again.

My beautiful wife and I really liked this place. It is nice having a place like this within walking distance of our house. When we went, I ordered the Thais Basil Chicken with rice. The food came out quick and it was delicious. Definitely well worth the visit. The place was nice on the inside and the service was friendly. Please check this place out.

This is the worst thai/lao food I have ever had, and I eat it once a week, every week for years. It was astoundingly awful. The egg roll was rancid and I had to spit it out. Fish was old, smelly and tough. Avocado app was literally just disks of fried breading. Almost no protein or veg in my curry entree, just curry and coconut milk. I'm really taken aback at how bad this place is compared to the rating. Wow

Padaek is now a staple of downtown Irving! In addition to their wonderful food and service, they now have tv screens that show neat street food scenes from Laos and Thailand.

Yall the food is to die for!! I had shrimp pad Thai(10/10), red curry (skip tbh), crying tiger beef (ok), basil beef (good), Thai tea (so good) and mango sticky rice. The mangos were still fresh and that's saying a lot given how late in the mango season we are!!

Amazing service. Amazing food. Hot, fresh, delicious. I tried a few dishes because it was my first dine-in experience. They did NOT disappoint. It was so good. The leftovers were just as yummy. We tried appetizers and a few entrees. I was stuffed. It is a low-key neighborhood spot tucked in on a quiet street. It is one of the places that if you know, you know.It is worth the trip and the try. Made to order everything is rare anymore. The portions were on point and they don't cut corners on flavor.I can't wait to pop in again for lunch or dinner. I'm his was the first mouth-watering meal I've had in a while.I was too busy eating to take pictures but ai can attest to the plates looking exactly like the menu pics!
