Delicious and authentic Thai food! We stopped in for dinner, and it was my first time. The space was very cute and homey. We were immediately sat, and I ordered a Thai green tea. Many Thai restaurants just offer regular Thai tea, so I love to order it when they do. The drink was so good with the perfect amount of sweetness, and it was served in a cute, decorated bowl. We decided to eat family-style and ordered the Beef Panang (which is what my friend recommended), the Khao Soi, and the Pad See Ew with tofu. We opted for level 1 spice for all of our dishes, and it was perfect for me-- not too spicy. The Beef Panang was one of the best bites of the night. It was so creamy, savory, and did not feel overly heavy. It was delicious with rice, and the beef was incredibly tender. The Khao Soi was also so good! Another dish that I don't see often in Thai restaurants around here, but I also love to order it when I do see it. The noodles were cooked perfectly, and the curry soup also had an amazing rich and creamy flavor. The Pad See Ew tasted great, but the noodles were a bit under for me. Overall, the food was tasty, the service was great, and I can't wait to come back! read more

I stopped by Pailin Thai Cuisine for lunch around 1:00 PM on Saturday, with some friends and oh my goodness, what an incredible experience! The place was absolutely packed, with a lively buzz that spoke to its popularity, and we had to wait about 15 minutes to be seated, but trust me, it was worth every second. The restaurant might be small, but it's incredibly inviting, with warm decor and a cozy atmosphere that instantly makes you feel at home. The staff were phenomenal, clearly dedicated to ensuring every guest has a fantastic time. They were darting back and forth between the kitchen, delivering steaming plates to diners, and refilling drinks with a smile. We kicked off our meal with fresh spring rolls and fried spring rolls, both of which arrived promptly and were bursting with flavor. The crispy fried spring rolls, stuffed with transparent noodles and veggies, paired perfectly with the tangy plum sauce, while the fresh rolls that were filled with lettuce, tofu, onion, and bean sprouts. They were a refreshing delight with their peanut sauce. For mains, I went with the green curry with chicken, and my dining companions chose the yellow curry, red curry, pineapple fried rice, and Tom Yum soup. The curries let you pick your protein (chicken, beef, shrimp, veggies, or tofu) and spice level (1 to 3), and every dish was a masterpiece. My green curry was a sooo good! Creamy coconut milk blended with bamboo shoots, eggplant, basil, bell peppers, and what I believe is a house-made curry paste that shone through, with perfectly cooked, thinly sliced chicken breast that melted in my mouth. The red curry impressed with its rich coconut milk base, eggplant, bell peppers, bamboo shoots, and basil, while the yellow curry brought a comforting mix of potatoes, green peas, and carrots. The pineapple fried rice was a tropical treat with chicken, egg, onion, tomato, cashew nuts, a hint of curry powder, and a touch of cilantro (we added shrimp for $2 extra, and it was a game-changer). The Tom Yum soup, with its tart lime juice broth, fresh mushrooms, lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, tomatoes, cilantro, and Thai seasoning, was a bold, zesty highlight. Everything tasted unbelievably fresh, and the ingredients felt carefully selected. This place is a must try that deserves all the hype, don't miss out! I can't wait to come back and explore more of the menu. 5 stars, hands down! read more

Homey Thai food. Pretty restaurant and with limited seating and parking so be sure to arrive earlier during peak hours. We quite enjoyed our food but just a note to people who like spicy food- their scale is different. We got level 3 and it tasted like a typical level 1 as compared to most Thai places I've been to. read more

If you know about this place, then you love it. Truly the best Thai food in Oklahoma by far. Everything I've had here is amazing.

If you haven't been to Pailin, you're seriously missing out on the most authentic Thai experience in Oklahoma City! This place is run by a sweet husband-and-wife duo who pour their hearts into every dish, bringing traditional family recipes to life with incredible flavor and impeccable service. If you don't love Pailin, you just don't know Thai food! Tucked away in a cozy, unassuming spot, Pailin transports you straight to Thailand with its soothing ambiance--think trickling water, beautiful decor, Thai music, and the intoxicating smells of real, home-cooked Thai cuisine. Honestly, after dining here, it's tough to settle for anything else in OKC. The pineapple fried rice? A burst of flavor in every bite. The braised beef noodle soup? It's like pho met a Thai goddess--rich, aromatic, and beyond satisfying. And don't even get me started on the Pailin sticks! They're a unique, addictive treat, and the squid with homemade sauces is downright mouthwatering. I absolutely recommend Pailin to everyone--whether you're a Thai food aficionado or a first-timer. And if for some wild reason you're not blown away on your first visit (which is almost impossible), trust me: give it another shot. You won't regret it! This place is a must-try for anyone who wants the real deal. Pictures sure to come in updated review! It was so amazing the food was gone before the flash of the camera went off! read more

Pailin Thai Cuisine - Braised Beef Noodles! - Thai Near Me - Moore, Oklahoma

What a hidden gem. This place literally left me leaving happy. I love the decor of this restaurant, so unique! It is small and the front of house is ran by one lady, who was very sweet. She was great, I wish I would have gotten her name. I ordered a few things. Started off with their Thai ice tea, it was good. Tasted like chocolate milk to me. For the appetizer we ordered the friend spring rolls. They were served hot and came with a plum sauce which enhanced the flavorful. I ordered their massaman curry with a level 2 spice level. I loved it and felt like it was a big portion. My boyfriend ordered the crab meat fried rice. First of all it was not imitation crab, it was real crab. I also thought it tasted great as well. Again I left this place with my stomach smiling. I will definitely visit them again. read more

This is, by far, the BEST Thai food we've ever eaten...and we have eaten Thai food in many different cities throughout the Pacific Northwest and the Rocky Mtn States. This was our 2nd visit and it was worth the drive from Piedmont. It's an inviting but small space in a strip mall. The husband is the chef and the wife takes care of the rest and they are both incredibly sweet and gracious hosts. I highly recommend this restaurant read more

Great Thai food. The Pad Thai was decent, but everything else was superb including the Thai Basil and Tom Kha.

I've tried a few Thai places. Hands down my absolute favorite Thai. Everything is 5 stars. Service, ambience, food, the Thai food tv channel on is cool, decor. Everything is 5 stars. Although the wait has never been long, I do wonder when or even if they'll get a bigger place. Either way, It's perfect. read more

Absolutely delicious! The beef Panang was terrific. I had spice level #3, which seemed to be in line with other Thai restaurants' scales.

Everything was amazing!! The lady working was so kind, the inside decor is peaceful and relaxing, and the food.... 100%!!! Will definitely be traveling down to Moore for this place! The Massaman curry was fabulous, it was all amazing! read more

Visiting from Atlanta and kept seeing this place on Yelp and other foodie pages. I'm a lover of Thai food so I had to try it! Small location with limited seating so that's one thing to note, but they do offer carry out. I ordered the Salmon curry -- my go-to and it was soooo delicious. Such a great space, friendly waitresses overall! I don't know when I'll be back in Oklahoma but I definitely foresee myself eating here again! read more

Always amazing. Eating at Pailin Thai is a consistently joyful experience. There are few places where a unique high quality meal is affordable to the working class. Pailin is one such place. I've had the pleasure of being in the area just frequently enough to eat here a few times over the years with my spouse. Usually we get the same thing pad kee mao, a curry and a side. Today I tried something new the Thai Braised Beef noodle soup and it was genuinely one of the best meals I've had in such a long time. Savory, sweet, slightly spicy with depths of flavor; perfectly cooked noodles and a massive portion of the most tender melt in your mouth beef. In Oklahoma the access to all qualities of beef is plentiful. So I've had a lot of beef and hours later I'm still thinking about this beef. It was so flavorful, perfectly cooked and melt in the mouth tender. Thankfully the portion was large enough I have some leftovers to enjoy tomorrow. Saving them until tomorrow will be the hardest but most rewarding part. My husband had beef pad kee mao. It was flavorful, tangy, spicy, satisfying and filling. A wonderful dish as always and out of all the Thai food in Oklahoma Pailin has the best Pad Kee Mao (drunken noodle) Because we don't come to Pailin often we kind of got way too much food. Including an appetizer, side and drinks. For an appetizer we had the Pailin Sticks to start. These we satisfying, crunchy, meaty and savory. I could truly have eaten so many more of these but then I wouldn't have had room for my entree. I got a side of Cucumber salad which was refreshing. We also had a Thai tea and Thai green tea. Both were tasty. Service was amazing as always. They always remember us no matter how long its been since we've been and its such a welcoming experience. It was also a joy to see regulars in and the business doing well. Atmosphere is wonderful. It's a small restaurant in a strip mall but when eating here its easy to forget the outside surroundings and be immersed in dining. There is also a small area with imported goods from Thailand for purchase. Anyway. I still highly recommend Pailin. read more

We have gotten carryout from here before, and we loved it! We finally decided to dine in the other day, and the restaurant is pretty small but cute. All of the decor was lovely, and we felt as if we were in someone's home. Our waitress was also very sweet and attentive. As for the food, we usually get the papaya salad, which is super refreshing yet packed with flavor. This time, we wanted to try some of their other items! We first started with a Thai coffee, which was served in a bowl; it was a cool presentation and the coffee was delish! We got some chicken wings for our appetizer, and those were nicely fried and juicy. For our entrees, I got the green curry, and my hubby got the basil beef. Both were really good; just a tad bit on the salty side, but still very tasty! It's a good thing we live nearby, because we will definitely be trying their other items! read more

This is the best Thai in OKC, hands down. It is fresh, complex flavors, beautifully plated, and served in an aesthetically calming interior. We had the spicy squid and Pailin sticks to start. Both were delicious, but the squid was the stuff of dreams--perfectly spicy and crunchy. For entrees, I had the beef pad see ew, and my boyfriend had the duck curry. Both were out of this world delicious. I got the mango sticky rice for dessert, which was served with black rice and a healthy heap of mangoes. This place is a diamond! read more

Hands down best Thai food in the OKC/Moore/Norman area, AND Pailin has a great atmosphere/decor - great for date night or a meal with a small group of friends. Our group ordered and loved the Thai dumplings, edamame, friend spring rolls, wonton pad Thai, duck red curry, and chicken pad see-ew. You'll want to lick the bowl clean, but I recommend saving half for later so you've got room for the mango sticky rice. read more

I have been searching for the best Thai place in okc and I HAVE FINALLY FOUND IT! The green curry and fresh springs rolls were absolutely terrific! The green curry came with fried tofu and was the perfect consistency and taste!THIS IS THE BEST THAI FOOD IN OKC HANDS DOWN! AND I have tried 9 different spots before finding this one! The service was incredible and I will only come here for my Thai food from now on! : Now I will I'll tell you why I believe this place is the best in OKC ! I always get GREEN CURRY no matter what Thai place I go to because it's my favorite dish and that's how I judge which is the best. I use to live in LA and they have the best Thai food in the states hands down. So I compare Every Thai place in okc to what I experienced in la and look for similarities in taste and consistency! Every Thai place I visited in okc Before PAILIN always told me that the green curry comes spicy and it cannot be made less spicy. Which was new for me and I can't stand it because I don't like it too spicy it's hard to eat and it burns my mouth. This also to me makes me think that either their curry paste is pre made or pre bought and not fresh or made from scratch. True Thai places ask you what level of spicy you prefer. When Pailin asked me what level of spicy I wanted I ALREADY KNEW they were gonna be the best! I literally savored every bite and had so much left over!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND PAILIN THAI! Delicious read more

Awesome place. Small place and slightly limited seating for a bigger party. Ambience makes you feel like youre in Thailand. Real trees around with some waterfall statue. I tried their braised beef noodle and khao soi. Beef was really tender and broth had a slight sour taste to it. Khao soi was definitely heartier. Both really good and flavorful. Portions were a decent size and service was friendly. It seems like a one man team in the front. Swing by! Definitely worth a try! read more

6/6/21 Had a craving for Thai and it was satisfied. The shrimp tom yum was your standard tom yum soup and the shrimp was cooked perfectly to start off the meal. We had their special pork stew curry and the pork was so tender and the curry sauce was so good I used all the rice to soak it up to make sure nothing was left behind. The beef pad see ew was good as well but the best part was the lady working there. She checked on us regularly, made sure we got everything we needed and more, and at the end of the meal she gave us this refreshing iced thai green tea and some packs of lychee jelly. She reminded me of my mom on how much she will go through to make us happy and to enjoy the food. read more
