Reviews for Phaya Thai Restaurant in Sacramento, CA

I would beg & plead with Sactown Magazine to include this restaurant in its "Best of the City" issue -- this is some of the most... delicious, consistent, beautiful Thai food in Sacramento. I am newer to the neighborhood, but this spot has been here forseveral years. I've eaten here about a dozen or so times. Casey and his wife Ta, also the chef, run a tight ship as food fliesout the door during the peak dinner hour. Casey is always warm and welcoming. It never matters how slammed they are -- he alwayspresents a calm and professional demeanor when greeting you, taking your order, or bringing out food for takeout orders. Astheir popularity has soared with Door Dash and other food delivery companies, be advised that wait time can be considerable. Ifyou call your order in, wait time can be as long as an hour and forty-five minutes. If you dine in, however, your order goes tothe front of the line. Also be advised there are no paper menus if you choose to dine in. You can scan the QR code from thetable, or if that doesn't work, you can take a look at the laminated menu above the cash register (photos posted with thisreview of the entire menu). The food is first class and looks beautiful on the large, white dishware they use. It is arrangedartfully on the plate and is always hot and freshly prepared. I have tried several of the curry dishes and noodles -- they willcook it according to your desired spiciness (medium, hot, and Thai hot). The Tom Kha (soup) is my personal favorite (order thepot if your party is larger than 2), as is the Pad Thai. The atmosphere of the restaurant itself is warm and comfortable; thereare no television sets in the room or loud music playing. Just about the only commotion is Casey fulfilling orders! Great place- neighborhood gem. Highly recommend!! Read more

I would like to ask all people to show solidarity in the fight for basic human needs. I was refused to visit the restroom... here, because I am not a customer or human being, but just a DoorDash driver. Who just came to pick up food for a client whopaid money. It's not a problem about the restroom and not about the denial of human rights or deprivation of basiccapabilities. It's about the fact that the delivery man is not even a human being. Do you wanna spend your money at thatplace? Thank you. PS: what about when the customer's brother pick-up food? Owner response: "I'm very sorry. You made it verydirty last time." Sorry, me? I'm first time here. Exactly me, not another drivers. That's mean - You all drivers the same. Youall dirty creatures" That is exactly what is Fascism. Read more

Go with a little extra time or order ahead as service can take a minute but the food is well worth the wait. Delicious.

Great place for some tasty takeout! My wife and I usually order the Thai dumplings, pad Thai, eggplant stir fry, and mango and... sticky rice. We have never disappointed with the food here. It can take up to an hour for a takeout order, so plan accordingly. Read more

Easily some of the best Thai I've had! Food presentation was artful without being pretentious. The portions were just right and... the tastes were a beautifull pallet of flavors. Well done! Read more

Everything is excellent. Fresh ingredients. Jasmine tea, Thai iced tea. Red, green and yellow Curry, Fried rice, Wonton soup,... Dumplings, potstickers and Egg rolls. My advice is order early. They are always very busy because their food is so bomb. Bepatient they work as fast as they can. Great service and nice people. I've eaten here multiple times and have never had bad foodor service.
