    Chicken Green Curry: creamy coconut milk blended with bamboo shoots, eggplant, basil, bell peppers, and curry
    Don B.

    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!

    Spicy squid

    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.

    I love this place! I especially enjoyed the Thai tea served ice cold in a copper bowl! Their food is amazing! They have many great dishes that I still have to try! Everything has been perfect for me and my family! The staff are so sweet helpful and understanding! The atmosphere is so relaxing and makes you feel happy! Please give them a try, I'm sure you will be hooked on them too!

    Braised Beef Noodles!
    Brandon T.

    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!

    Crab Meat Fried Rice
    Christen B.

    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.

    A neat spot in a strip mall. Service was nice and the food presentation was excellent!

    Salmon Curry
    Helena M.

    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!

    Pad Kee Mao beef
    Meryl N.

    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.

    Beef soup

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

    Very good food. In a strip mall next to a liquor store so I was not sure about it but the curry was really good. I would recommend.
