Thipsamai Padthai Pratoopee

the fried noodle is excellent! very tasty and authentic thai style. and the best of the best was, choice of "no noodle" version available. so that i could enjoy my low carbs option here with my friends having big big bites of the rice noodles. but the seat and service was so-so, feel that don't have enough manpower to serve the eager customers. the location isn't easy too. seems calling grab would be the best way.

I saw this Thai restaurant in Bangkok and ended up having one of the best Pad Thai meals I’ve ever had. I ordered the Pad Thai with jumbo shrimp, and it was wrapped inside an omelette, which made it even better. It came with lemon and a bean sprout salad on the side, and there were a few really good sauces on the table that you could add to your taste. The place was pretty busy, so I’d definitely recommend making a reservation if you can. I also really liked the open-concept kitchen — it was fun being able to see everything being cooked. Overall, I fully recommend eating here if you’re in Bangkok.

This was my first time trying the best Pad Thai in their origin place and I can tell it was amazing experience. We came for dinner and there was a queue line, but they're moving fast. around 10 mins we got the table, from the entrance the greeter, and the staffs warmly welcomed us, suggesting the most famous items, etc. Not so long the food served, the portion was kinda small, but the taste was amazing. It was the best Pad Thai I've ever tasted, mixture of sweet and savory taste and a hint of shrimp in it. We were thinking to order more but we were on a tight budget during our trip, so badly :(. And, the Orange Juice was amazing as well, I like they keep the big pulp inside. It was so unfortunate that I didn't remember their names and their food items, but I'd really like to come back to Thailand to try their foods again someday.

Finally tried Pad Thai at Thipsamai, one of Bangkok’s most famous spots. The noodles were perfectly cooked, not mushy, not dry, with a strong shrimp-oil aroma that hits immediately. The egg-wrapped Pad Thai feels richer and more indulgent compared to street versions. Flavor-wise, it leans slightly sweet, but still well balanced with lime and chili flakes. Yes, the queue is long and the price is higher than street Pad Thai, but I’d say it’s worth trying at least once for the experience.

This is the most famous Pad Thai in Thailand (at least for me). 🇹🇭🔥 When you walk in — or even just wait in the queue — you’ll hear all kinds of languages around you. People from everywhere. Very few Thai customers, actually. That alone shows how much of a destination Thipsamai has become. And this branch is just a few steps away from the legendary Jay Fai, so the whole area feels like a food pilgrimage spot. Thipsamai is all about Pad Thai. No complicated menu — just different variations of Pad Thai, and that’s it. The taste has stayed consistent over the years, but the portion has definitely gotten smaller. To keep the price the same, they reduced the serving size. A few years ago, one plate used to fill me up so much I could barely finish it. Now? I can finish easily and still have space left for side dishes or dessert. The staff here are super friendly, and some can speak multiple languages — so if you’re a tourist, communication won’t be a problem at all. The atmosphere is lively and warm, with people from all over the world enjoying their plate of Pad Thai. So if you want to try the most famous Pad Thai in Thailand, Thipsamai is the place. (Of course, taste is subjective — there are many great Pad Thai spots with their own styles — but Thipsamai is definitely the most iconic.) Enjoy! 🥢✨
