What People Are Saying About Pattaya

In Short – The expansive restaurant stretches backward from a colorful bar area to an enclosed sunroom with indoor trees strung with lights. Pattaya fills up with U Penn students sipping brightly colored spiced iced tea and house cocktails. Authentic Thai dishes; clay pot stews, mix and match curries and noodles, with a nod both to continental (chicken marsala and goat cheese salad) and eclectic (alligator stir-fry).

Must-try Thai

by phlfrdm at Citysearch

Best Thai food in University City! Shrimp Pad Thai and spring rolls are a safe bet. The curry chicken dishes are also quite good. And believe it or not, Pina Coladas here are also really good (they even put a little paper umbrella in the glass. classy! ;) ) Very nice atmosphere (sit in the greenhouse-style back room on sunny days), fast service and excellent food.

  • Pros: food, atmosphere
  • Cons: none

Good but kind of pricey

by bw22 at Citysearch

Pattaya has a surprisingly nice interior, quick service, and consistently good food. The duck and seafood noodle dishes are recommended, but the desserts aren't that great. The only downside is the prices aren't bad but not cheap- otherwise we would go more often.

  • Pros: Consistenty good food, experience
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Best Pad Thai in town

by dwi235 at Citysearch

I highly recommended the place. The food was quick and excellent especially Pad Thai. It was the best Pad Thai I?ve ever try around University City neighborhood. The service was very good. The ambience was wonderful. Try the sun room in the back but don?t forget to make a reservation and request for it.

  • Cons: Full bar
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Like Nan, with a Bar!

by makeredhappy at Citysearch

Basically, the food is similar to Nan, which is next door, but this one has a bar! Pretty place, maybe a more expanded menu, very flavorful food. Can get busy at lunchtime so make a reservations. Very enjoyable overall and good food!

  • Pros: Good food, pretty place
  • Cons: Not BYOB

small portion, high price, below average food...

by mxtarantino at Citysearch

The place look magnificent, but looks can be deceiving. The food was not so good. We ordered the chicken in red tai curry sauce, and it tasted fine-not the best (i was hungry). Then we had the tuna. I can tell it was frozen, and it was cooked way overdone. We didn't really enjoyed the food. I don't mind how expensive or inexpensive the dishes cost, but give me a BIGGER PORTION!
