Traditional dishes plus beer, wine & sake are offered by this unstuffy eatery with a seasonal patio.
Really enjoyed dining here. Food was great, service exceptional and a friendly staff.
We are vegetarians so our choices are limited however they had a good selection of vegetarian options and very tasty. The crispy spring rolls were delicious.
The hot ginger tea my wife ordered was exceptional. I am not a tea fan and even I liked it very much - too bad I am not a tea drinker.
And best part of the restaurant are the traditional Thai dresses the hosts wore in the restaurant - adds to the ambiance and experience - thoroughly enjoyed it.
This place is EXCELLENT! I’ve had a lot of Thai food, mostly on the west coast in California… the Midwest normally doesn’t do a great job at it. But this place? It was incredible! The Panang curry was perfectly flavored, the pad Thai noodles were so good, and the pad se ew noodles were on point as well. My only sadness? That this place isn’t closer to where I live. Can’t wait to return again!! And their crab Rangoon’s were melt in your mouth incredible
When i lived in Carmel this was my absolute favorite place to eat every other day ! But since I’ve moved almost 40 minutes away i still drive 40 minutes to come and get this delicious food! The ladies who run the place have always been amazing to me. Super kind and welcoming and the food always hits. I’ll continue to make the drive i haven’t found a place that beats this yet!
I love Pad Thai! The food is delicious: we usually go for lunch, and the lunch meal comes with soup, salad, and a spring role, all of which are fantastic. The staff are friendly, we come in enough that they know us and remember our typical orders. The inside of the restaurant is nicely decorated. Service is fast and the food is always top notch.
Fantastic place! I lived in Bangkok for 12 years, so I am always on the lookout for something that approaches the authenticity of the food you get on the other side of the globe. And boy did this place deliver. As soon as I sat down, I was blown away by the ambience and stylish decor. The 25-30 year old woman who served me was very attentive to my needs. She got my food out fast and made sure to get everything in my plate right (I am unorthodox in the sense I like my egg, sugar, spice, and leeks on the side). The spice mirrored exactly what you would find in Bangkok and it hit me hard, just like I am accustomed to there. I must have drank 6-7 glasses of water, and my lovely server was sure to keep the water flowing with a big smile on her face. The portions were large and the price was very reasonable. My wife likes her pad thai with just a little spice and our server was sure to differentiate her food from mine and my wife relayed to me that her spice was on point. I can't wait to return and try some other stuff, but not sure I won't be opting for the same wonderful culinary experience as I just had. Also, the location is wonderful. I had no idea Carmel was so beautiful! Truly an unexpected gem!
Good service, with a variety of choice on the menu. The food was tasty

Best pad kee mow I've ever had! Amazing staff as well 🙏🏽
Perfect lunch spot. The service is quick and friendly. The food is delicious. I'm looking forward to my next visit!
You need to visit this restaurant if you really line thai food. Food was amazing and tasted a-lot better than other places.
We stopped in after a long drive, hungry for dinner, and this place hit the spot. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Food was delicious with generous portions. Spice levels can be customized to suit a variety of tastes.

Hate to be that person, but I WOULD give it NO stars if I could or negative 5. Did a pick up order and the lady wouldn't give me and my husband two waters, we asked once over the phone and then in person. She didn't even fill the one water she gave us entirely up. The pad thai itself was also the most flavorless I've ever had - you're better off making this at home yourself or even just buying it in a frozen microwave tray at Walmart.
Amazing food and service. . . 👍👍👍
Food is great and so is the service! I highly recommend!

What a treasure of a place.
The food is excellent, the staff are friendly and attentive and the prices are very reasonable.
This is going to be our new regular place for Thai food
I used Uber eats. Pad See Ewe arrived hot; Chicken Satay was warm at best. Chicken Satay was very dry... shrimp in Pad See Ewe still had "tail on". I've never experienced any Thai restaurant charge extra for Shrimp then to not detail them. Certainly not worth almost $30+ for dinner.
Would not recommend.
Great food and taste. This is my 5th visit. Keep up the same quality and taste.
Great food and location
This was my first time having a meal from Pad Thai. I ordered carry out: chicken satay, a side salad and the tofu pad thai. My meal was ready before the guaranteed pick up time, the portion size for each item ordered were larger than I had expected. And the taste? So, so delicious!! I am so glad I tried this restaurant. I will most definitely be ordering from Pad Thai again.
They never disappoint!! Beef and broccoli, cashew chicken and pad Thai is fabulous and you get enough pad Thai for a few meals :) Flavors are amazing and the workers are very very friendly!
The restaurant was so nice looking inside I was a little disappointed I ordered to go, instead of dining in. The food was made very quickly, nice sized portions, and is great! They even lined my to go box with foil so everything stayed hot longer. I'll definitely go again and I reccomend checking this place out if you haven't!
This is my favorite Thai place in Indy. Excellent pad thai, pad ke mao, chicken coconut soup, mixed veggies. The servers are always attentive and kind.
I've only been here once, but it was a very good lunch. I really enjoyed the Thai Fried Rice. Certainly planning to be back in the future.
The food is amazing and priced very reasonably. This is a go-to for me when I'm looking for a place to grab a quick and filling dinner! The staff are also some of the nicest I've met :)
Get the Mango Curry
This is my first time visiting the area and I love it. So nice place and great service their food are tasty I love curry and you can tell them medium spicy they brought you just right. My hubby has got fry chicken and so crispy exactly what he liked. I had seafood salad so yummy and huge one, worth it to try believe me. I and my hubby definitely coming back very soon. Such amazing place we discovered ❤️ thanks
this place was really good! i had the basil fried rice, and it came with a side salad and a spring roll. our waitress Ice was super super friendly and me and my friends loved her! she brought me ice cream when i mentioned it was my birthday 🥹
I love Pad Thai! The food is delicious: we usually go for lunch, and the lunch meal comes with soup, salad, and a spring role, all of which are fantastic. The staff are friendly, we come in enough that they know us and remember our typical orders. The inside of the restaurant is nicely decorated. Service is fast and the food is always top notch.
The service here was very very slow. Our dinner lasted two hours because we were waiting for service. Food was ok but waiting on them took FOREVER! There was only two tables. The food was good no complaints. If we were served we would have ordered more food but we couldn't find someone to help us.
Pad Thai is by far the best Thai food we've had in the Indianapolis area! The service is always great and the inside is very nice. Everything we've ever ordered has been fantastic. Our favorites are the Seafood Panang Curry, the Duck Curry and the Chicken Satay. Their Golden Tofu, Pad Thai and Green Curry are also great. I also love their Thai Ice Tea!
Really enjoyed dining here. Food was great, service exceptional and a friendly staff.
We are vegetarians so our choices are limited however they had a good selection of vegetarian options and very tasty. The crispy spring rolls were delicious.
The hot ginger tea my wife ordered was exceptional. I am not a tea fan and even I liked it very much - too bad I am not a tea drinker.
And best part of the restaurant are the traditional Thai dresses the hosts wore in the restaurant - adds to the ambiance and experience - thoroughly enjoyed it.
We've had a lot of good experiences dining in, but this isn't the first time we've had an issue with a carryout order. They were 35 minutes late and giving us our food. Very apologetic but that is completely unacceptable. Dining in the restaurant would result in a much higher service score but I can't give anything higher than one star for carry out.
Update - just had a terrific experience and am updating my review accordingly.
THE FOOD WAS AMAZING!!!
Went around Valentine's Day and the restaurant was decorated so cute.
My server was also very sweet.
Been going here for last 5 years, always great taste , service is great too. Very kind owner/workers
Best Thai place in indy area.
Despite the innocuous name, this restaurant ended up being delicious and far above the average bar. The atmosphere was lovely, it's February and they served the rice in heart shapes with lots of decorations as well.
The waitresses were very nice!
Love the pad Thai lunch special. The service is always great
The Green Curry with Chicken was THE BEST I have ever had! Will be back soon!
Food is excellent, staff is friendly, had the place decorated for Valentines day. So great and fun.
The food is delicious, will definitely be a regular.
It was overall a very good meal.
Have been here many times now. Their curries and pad thai are consistently great. Fried banana ice cream was also delish. Their food is authentic thai, and the people who run the place are very nice and attentive.
It's not a pretentious place, and it is certainly under rated.
We highly recommend it!
My mother and I had dinner here in October and it was fantastic. Such a cute little quaint restaurant. And the food was superb. Can't wait to eat here again.
Great place!
Love the Pad Thai ..very good food and great service ..price is reasonable and lunch options are great ..portion size is huge on ala carte..Love this place
Interior decor is very cute, table centerpieces, lights, and whole set up in the front. Convenient and central location. Good service, good variety offered on the menu. I loved how the rice came in a heart shape, but the rice itself wasn’t that great. The curry was better, the meat was good. There was a leak in the ceiling but they did try to contain it. Probably won’t visit again but wasn’t bad for a one time visit.
Firstly the service is really bad,they didn’t even bother to ask for extra water after ordering. Secondly the food is really bad,the food we got is too sweet and while ordering I have requested them not to add chilly flakes in my food but they ignored my request and have added them in the food. Thirdly they have used the same type of chicken in all types of food which is not at all fresh.
Am never coming back to this place, it’s a total waste of time and money in my opinion.
The only good thing about this restaurant is the tap water and ambience. Don't expect any flavors out of food except sweetness. Service is so bad that they don't offer water refills and don't ask if you want to order anything else after ordering once and they go straight to the bill. Might be one off that we are not even given water jugs. They are short staffed with 2 people waiting, serving and cleaning tables. I definitely wouldn't come back and not recommend this. Idk how they got such a high
Bugs flying all over the inside of the restaurant. My cold saki was warm and the food too spicy. The kitchen was probably infested if the main dining area had that many bugs.
Delicious delicious Thai food right off the Monon. My only caveat—and I say this as someone who loves spicy food, orders “Thai hot” all the time, and has no trouble with even the hottest wings at BW3–don’t order the “Thai hot” unless you’re willing to suffer.
I highly recommend this restaurant.
Best green curry I've had in years. The curry sauce was nice and thick, and very delicious.
I always get food here when I’m in town. It’s always fresh and flavorful. The staff there is very nice as well
We do take-out from Pad Thai. Ann and her team is amazing. The food is dang good! I love the Pad Kee Mao!
There are a few Thai options in Hamilton county, but Pad Thai is my favorite. Great fried rice options, garlic pepper is good, and their spring rolls are the best.
My husband and I come here for lunch usually once a week. The waitresses are the best, food is alway out fast and delicious, you get tons of food for the lunch specials, water is crisp, great tofu, and it’s the cutest place for a personal meal. Easily our favorite restaurant in Hamilton County!
Great food ❤️❤️❤️
Didn’t get to try the food - carry out order said it was ready when it wasn’t and had to leave after a half hour of waiting
Good food and relaxing ambiance. With nice staff.
This place was wonderful ,it was our 1st visit. We were really impressed when we walked in of how it looked, the décor was beautiful.
The service was amazing ,they were truly welcoming and so kind.
We will definitely go back and we need to try dinner time.
One young lady who helped us that is absolutely charming her name is Cutie Pie. There's another young lady named Ice 🧊 who was just as awesome!
We've now gone twice, exceptional both times!
Update: We have gone here many times now and it has always been exceptional. And we have always been made to feel very welcome and we will continue going back.
Great food. Excellent service. And a fun location right on the Monon Trail. Not as spicy as we expected. So that’s better than “too spicy”. Really enjoyed a casual dinner with family.
This is my go to lunch place. Their lunch menu is great. Food is very tasty.
Very good food and staff. Will definitely return. The yellow curry lunch special is all around excellent!
My girlfriend and I absolutely love this place! The owner and staff are absolutely wonderful! The Pad Thai is phenomenal and I would recommend all of the appetizers. I have found this is the best authentic Thai food I have had in Carmel so far.
Pad Thai Restaurant is an absolutely phenomenal place to eat! We love the food and the way you can choose how spicy you want it to be. The portions are large and the food is inexpensive for how much you get. The staff are also incredibly friendly and kind! We also never have to wait very long for our food to arrive after we order.
I had never had Thai food before coming here, and now I'm hooked on their red curry! I get it every time we come in, and every time I'm amazed by how insanely delicious it is!
Our go-to family restaurant. Friendly staff, great selection, good food and a favorite for us in Carmel
popped in here for a quick lunch and it was great. lots of options and seating. I always love a good lunch special and the location is off the main drag so parking is a bit easier. Service is quick and they are attentive. #LocalWithAmy
No parking.
Really enjoyed my food. I had the shrimp blanket, crab raccoon, spring roll and the fried rice combo. The fried rice was awesome but small portion compare to what you get at other thai restaurants for $19.
Food was ok. Service was slow. And music too loud gave it 2 tried and same both tries!
Small quiet restaurant. Good atmosphere, friendly service, and great food! I had pad Thai tofu and tofu salad rolls.
Best Thai we have found in Indy thus far! Generous portions & authentic flavors. Will continue to eat at this restaurant & recommend it to others.
So good!!!
Friendly staff and quality food.
Our favorite restaurant! Excellent food and friendly staff.
Pretty decent, big portions
My friends and I have tried every Pad Thai place in the area and this is by far the best. Service was 15/10
Best curry I've had in a very long time. Crab Rangoon was delicious and the service was lovely. Will go back again.
Best Thai in town!
This is a very authentic Thai restaurant with excellent food.The coconut soup was the best I have had anywhere and I've eaten at many Thai restaurants.
Love this type of food. Quick and friendly
Awesome Thai food at great prices. Also, the staff are very nice and friendly. The whole experience is totally worth a visit. Strongly recommend.
Glad this restaurant made it through the pandemic, best Thai food in Carmel! Love the whole fried Tilapia and noodle dishes.
Finally, a Thai spot in this area that didn't disappoint. $10 lunch got me soup, salad, spring roll, and Pad Thai Chicken. Soup had great flavor. There were a few diced carrots and peas, which was different, but not bad. Spring roll came with standard dipping sauce and was fine. Pad Thai was executed well....chicken wasn't over cooked, proper amount of sauce and green onion. Noodles were cooked perfect. Only thing is there was no real spice even though I ordered hot. Service was prompt. I will definitely be back .
The food and the service was good!! Parking horrible!!
You really do get a lot of food for the money! Not only are the portion sizes quite large, but the Tom yum soup alone is to die for! Just the right kick. For the lunch meals, you get your main dish, spring roll, soup, and salad. Now for your main dish, I do recommend going up a heat level versus the other area Thai restaurants. Very kind employees! Definitely stop in here to enjoy some good Thai!
Friendly people and excellent food.
Absolutely love their food! Amazing service, wonderful staff. My go-to Thai restaurant on the Northside of Indy.
Excellent curry and outstanding service. The tempura vegetables and dumpling appetizers were quite tasty. Would gladly go back!
I ordered the Tom Yum soup and it had a huge bug in it. Do not eat at this restaurant!!!!
It is overly sweet which kills the authentic flavors. Like so many average Asian restaurants they think Americans will only buy it if it is drowned in sugar.
Portions are decent and there's quantity for the price. So, if you don't require authentic flavors this could be perfect for you.
The staff did work extremely hard and we're very friendly. Dining area was very clean and we'll decorated.
I probably won't return. Only went because our favorite Thai place in Indy is closed on Monday.
I was blown away by how good this food was for the $10 lunch special. 10/10 would return.
Loved the location and food 😊
This is my favorite place for lunch and Chicken or Tofu Pad Thai. Great meal combinations and the food tastes great.
Great food! Great atmosphere.
Excelente sabor y vasta porciones de comida.
Food is soo delicious and the staff is friendly and respectful.
Didn't serve rice with red curry in to go order. Poor service
Love this place. Quality pad Thai food, at a great price too. Best deal in all of Carmel!
When here with a friend from Thailand and everything was delicious. She said the food is really good as well! Can’t wait to go back.
Excellent!
Had lunch here for the first time today, and the service and food were excellent. I found the flavors to be better than other Thai restaurants that I've eaten at downtown (Indy). I had the Yellow Curry (chicken/mild) and loved it. The lunch came with Thom Yum soup, Salad and a crispy Spring Roll, and I found the portions to enough for lunch in addition to a box to take home for a later small meal.
I've been here two times and the food has been great both times! Their Pad See Ewe is very flavorful in my opinion. I got mine medium-hot and probably will just get hot next time as the dish has enough flavor to overcome that sensation of of not being able to taste when it's too spicy for you. The vegetable spring roll is also very tasty. The Tom Kha is highly recommended. On both occasions the staff treated me very well and quite welcoming.
Such good food here! One of our favorite dishes is the hawaiian fried rice! Delicious!
Food was AWESOME!!! I've read the reviews where some have complained about their order being correct, but NO problems here when I've ordered. Portions were MORE than what you'd expect and taste was better than expected for someone who doesn't really do Thai. Price was RESPECTABLE for what you get, and for a busy Friday, seating was generous and atmosphere was quiet and peaceful. As for the complainers, there is a VERY SNOBBISH bunch up in Carmel and I've personally witnessed these unnecessary attitudes toward the staff at Pad Thai when I've eaten there at least twice. THIS IS A MUST GO PLACE. 😁👌
Great food, great staff! Nice to have some variety in downtown Carmel.
Nice place and affordable prices.
This has become a regular haunt of mine. Wonderful food and a kind staff or at least the waitress who usually serves me. I would recommend them for anyone who is interested in trying thai food without worrying about your taste buds catching fire! You get to choose your spice level.
amazing food
Delicious, fast, quiet, and polite. I'd go back again.
Quick service, great quality food.
Great thai food and service, always like to eat here at lunch and order the Pad Ped with meat and extra sauce and basil. descent pricing for the dish sizes.
Love this place! Thai food at its fabulous best. If you like it spicy ask for Thai hot!
The duck curry is always a favorite of mine and this one was as good as many that I have had in Bangkok.
My wife had the eggplant delight which was beautifully presented and full of flavor.
Portions were large as were the starters so still have enough left over for lunch tomorrow. Only downside did not have room left for the mango and sticky rice which was one of our favorite street foods when in Thailand. I
Tasty food. Excellent service
Consistently good Pad Thai and yellow curry. Lunch special w salad and egg roll is a plus. And they are very friendly and fast.
I have eaten here in the past and would normally give this place an easy 5 star review each time. This post is not rating the food or staff, but is calling out a particularly bad customer experience. I ordered food on the Pad Thai website through Cartana. I paid and received a receipt confirming my order. When I went there to pick up my food, there was no food as the restaurant had not received the order. Rather than make it right and provide me with my food at no charge I was instructed to place an order at the restaurant and pay again. Disappointing. The business should take responsibility for its third party ordering service when it is on the Pad Thai website and should have worked to resolve this directly with Cartana and just fulfilled my order. That would be good customer service. If you dont stand by ordering through Cartana dont put it on your website.
Update: Cartana texted me a receipt showing restaurant accepted the order. Hopefully this isnt there way of blaming the restaurant so they do not have to issue a refund. I want my money back and for Pad Thai to contact me and fix this promptly.
Update 10-2. After calling Pad Thai they said they would call Cartana and get me a refund. They also advised me not to use this feature of their website. I was issued a refund. Long story short....eat here staff is friendly food is good, just dont order online through Cartana.
Probably the best Thai food ever!!! My new fav spot 💕
The food and service are consistently good.
Great food
Really good food every time I visit.
Delicious Thai takout and quick service! We have never been disappointed!
Great Thai food in a fun location right off the Monon. Their lunch specials are definitely worth it.
