    As close to authentic Thai food as you'll get in the Stow/Hudson area. They have a sister restaurant called Thai Gourmet just down the road that's almost as good for better pricing.
    Pad Thai has all the classic Thai dishes as well as Chinese food so it's good for a group of people where some might not be a fan of one or the other type of cuisine. The service is generally nice and the atmosphere is relaxing with plenty of room between you and the next table.
    The food was cooked to perfection and spiced just as asked whether it's take-out or dine-in. The price is on the higher side and this would be the kind of place to take a first date, have an anniversary or birthday dinner, etc.

    This used to be a favorite of my wife and I for years since it first opened, primarily since we love Thai food and it was so close to our house. But it has continued to go downhill to the point where we'd rather drive a little further to go somewhere else.

    The big negative for us has been the service. It is a busy place, so we have made reservations the past several times and are never seated on time. We typically end up waiting 15 - 30 minutes after our reserved time to get seated despite showing up on time, which is unacceptable. On our last visit, they were 20 minutes late in seating us, and did not have menus for us when they finally did seat us. We sat there for 15 minutes and no one came around before my wife went back to the hostess to get us some menus. Our server did not show up for another 10 minutes after that.

    As far as the food, it's usually good but nothing exceptional. I've had much better Thai food at other places a little closer to Cleveland, that are also less expensive. Pad Thai is not cheap, and with our experiences with bad service only getting worse over time, this is not on our list to revisit anytime soon despite being 10 minutes away.

    Thai is definitely one of my favorite cuisines.  I like my food to have lots of flavor, and thai food (if done properly) delivers just what I like.  Pad Thai is a solid option for Thai fare in the Kent area.

    The boyfriend and I went here on a whim, searching for a new restaurant in the Kent area.  He chose his usual dish, pad thai, and reported that it was well-executed.  I ordered the vegetarian curry fried rice.  Now, I'm sure you could argue that you can't really judge a Thai restaurant on their fried rice alone, but I beg to differ.  Many, many places somehow manage to botch fried rice.  This place, however, presented an excellent dish.  Robust flavors, not greasy, good helping of vegetables, great portion size.  Just what I was looking for that evening.

    I am looking forward to going back again to try more dishes, especially the Tom Yum soup which is, hands down, my favorite Thai dish.

    Pad Thai also serves sushi, which I did not try, but probably will on a future visit.

    Decent ambience and food in the middle of Ohio. Service could improve though...

    I've updated my review from 1 star to 3 stars. Because I'm desperate for Thai food we've been ordering out here about once a month. Lately we've been very happy with their pad thai, red curry and pad see ewe.

    I love the sushi here.  The quality of the fish is stellar, the technique of the sushi chef (Ming) is perfection...  My husband and I go here at least once a week, maybe twice.  No place else better to sit besides the newly added sushi bar!  Some sushi places are cheesy and dishes from the full menu are very "Americanized" but everything here is TASTY!!!!  Definitely a great spot!  Favorites: Salt & Pepper Squid, Viengs Roll (sauce on the side), Hamachi Kama (delish)!!!

    I've been going here for several years, and they recently renovated the interior & it looks a lot better. My husband loves the pad thai and I love the sushi and the lunch box special. It's a perfect place to go if you want to see a late movie because of their hours and it's really close to the Hudson movie theater. I also think they have the best Thai iced tea in the Akron area.

    This is one of our favorites! We love the curries they serve and the calamari is one of the best we have had. Sushi is also delish. Great food and reasonable prices.

    Pad Thai is a very good Thai restaurant located on 91 on the south side of Hudson. You can enjoy their food either in their restaurant or via takeout in your own home. I've never eaten in the restaurant, but I have gone inside and it feels like a more refined atmosphere. It looks classier than your typical Thai restaurant. Personally, I like it. The food is very good, although not outstanding. My most recent meal from here was the Mango Chicken. It was mixed with a variety of vegetables and pineapple in soy sauce. I thought it was very good, although there was too much pineapple for what was in the dish. It's more of a savory dish w/  the exception of the mango sauce which isn't very noticeable with the soy sauce, so the pineapple was a little overpowering. I did like the dish a lot though. Overall, if you're looking for good Thai food in Hudson or the surrounding communities, with another location in Fairlawn, Pad Thai is the place to go.

    I guess you can say that this place deserves higher since it is the only game in town but I cant really say its good thai food.  It is just like any other place you get thai food from but I guess if you are fixin for some pad thai, there is no other place to get it.  These are the same people that owned ricky lys next to Marc's in stow on 91.

    Had lunch here while visiting relatives. Restaurant was airy and clean. Service was pleasant, accurate and prompt. Food was better than average with very ample portions (and we eat a LOT of Thai!) All in all I would recommend them if you want some good Thai in this area.
