Pad Thai Restaurant Overland Park

I rarely leave reviews, but as good as Pad-Thai is I had to. Many times I have been disappointed when I have tried out a new restaurant based on Yelp reviews and this time the reviews are dead on. The owners are some of the most friendly restaurateurs I have ever met. They make you feel like family and are genuinely happy to see you. I come to the Kansas City area monthly and since I have discovered Pad-Thai I never miss a stop here when I am in town. I am working my way through the menu and I have yet to find something I do not love. The name of the restaurant is a little deceiving, as there are so many different things on the menu that are spectacular. Starting with the appetizers, I have had the Pot Stickers, fried and steamed, and I prefer the fried Pot Stickers. The Crab Rangoon are some of the best ones I have ever had. They are light, fluffy, and full of flavor. The Pad-Thai and Pad Kee Mow are very good for their noodle dishes, but after trying other things on the menu I rarely get them. The Pad Prik is great on a cold day when you are looking for something to warm your soul. I like it Thai Hot and while sometimes spicy food can punish you and leave your mouth burning so bad you cannot taste the dish, it is not a problem with the Pad Prik. If you are in the mood for seafood I suggest the Samui Scallops. The scallops taste fresh, not frozen. The pineapple makes this a very sweet dish. The Pad Gapow is probally my favorite thing on the menu. The pork with a fried egg on top is a dream. I struggle not to get it every time it is so good. My biggest recommendation is to try something you wouldn't normally order when going to a Thai restaurant. You will not be disappointed!

I was first introduced to Thai food years ago by the owner of Pad Thai. He owned a Thai restaurant in our small college town several years ago. I fell in love with Thai food! Since then, I have traveled the country and tried many Thai places in some amazing cities. Nothing ever quite compared to my first taste of Thai until IKe openened Pad Thai in Overland Park! Everything was delicious and tasted better than I could have imagined. I'm so happy Ike and his family are following their passion and making the world a better place one bite at a time!!!
