Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.

4.2 / 5.0(11,730 reviews)

I visited Thipsamai Pad Thai (Tropi) in Bangkok, one of the city’s oldest and most famous Pad Thai restaurants. As expected, there was a line on arrival, but it moved quickly. Before entering, a staff member hands you the menu and even fills out your order in advance, which keeps everything smooth and organized. The interior is charming and feels very traditional. The Pad Thai is excellent—many say it’s the best in Bangkok. Even if it isn’t the absolute best, it’s certainly a very good one and worth trying. What truly stands out is the service. The staff are exceptionally kind and attentive, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommended. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely worth the hype! The pad thai here is so flavorful — the noodles are perfectly cooked, I tried the famous pad thai with prawns wrapped in egg and it was delicious, not too oily, and very fresh. The portion is generous and the ingredients feel high quality. The place can get quite busy, but the line moves fast and the service is well organized. Definitely a must-try spot in Bangkok if you love authentic Thai food. I’ll be coming back next time for sure! One of the most famous pad thai restaurants in Bangkok, if not the most famous one. We came here for an early lunch which was a great choice, as this restaurant is usually packed with people, so it's very much recommended to avoid coming here during peak hours (lunch & dinner). Although it wasn't a traditional lunchtime, the place was still full, but luckily they had an available table for us so we were seated immediately and didn't have to wait in line. If you do arrive here during peak hours, they also have a takeaway window you can order from, which could be faster than standing in line if the restaurant is full. The menu is quite limited as they focus almost only at pad thai, so we ordered their original superb pad thai (with shrimp oil, fresh prawns and wrapped with egg), chicken pad thai, a mixed combination of spring rolls and their signature pad thai spring roll. All of the dishes were delicious, very authentic and very freshly made. We even sat right in front of the kitchen window, so were able to see the entire cooking process and the kitchen activity. Lastly, we liked the food so much that we bought a pad thai make at home kit, to try and recreate these authentic flavors at home. The restaurant is very clean, and the staff was kind and very professional. To conclude, if you're in Bangkok this is the one pad thai you don't want to miss!

This is the best Pad Thai spot hands down from me anytime any year. I just love the energy and the taste. Pad Thai is like any other stir fried dish in Thai land you need to add the condiments and mix well, the chili flakes, the lime squeeze, the sugar and peanuts are a must. The original sauce taste is the base for a better taste when the condiments are mixed in. Trust me and you will never eat pad thai the same again. Their Royal Pad Thai is my most fav of them all!

Delicious pad thai! And different kinds. Good portions. Prices maybe high as for Thailand but worthy. Gorgeous fresh Coconut juice. Menu in English, even instructions how to eat. Extremely nice people there explaining everything. Quite popular place, I waited but just 3 minutes.
