This Thai-style pork knuckle is absolutely delicious! The Thai oyster omelette is a must-try—100% worth coming back for. The Hainanese chicken is also incredibly tasty. This is definitely the best Thai food in all of Manchester. I’ll definitely come back again!
Just stumbled upon this hidden gem in Manchester – the Hong Kong-style Thai restaurant! The flavors are absolutely unique, bursting with vibrant, authentic taste. A must-visit for anyone craving something special!
The PaPaDon situates quitely on a side road of Stretford- the Longford Street Road. You may pass over the Restaurant when arriving at the front door. There is little bit of puzzle wondering " where is the restaurant whenever you stand at the front of it. Until you raise your head to notify the shop sign. Outlook of this Thai-Korean restaurant in the first glance is not attractive but the authentic northern Thai foods are at a premium quality. I had a visit on last Sunday at noon having no reservation. It was my luck to have a table for a couple because the table reservations were full. I arrived just at time of opening at 12:00 noon. The dining hall was hygiene, tidy and the cooking smell from the kitchen was none. Albeit the Restauarnt is not spacious, it can serve about 24 people. "The boat noodle soup with beef" is the signature which I can recommend. The beef briskets were tendered at a just medium rare. The tick beef soup is fantastic surprise, not salty but had a thick tast of fresh beef. "The salt and pepper meaty ribs" is a must to try. The deep- fried ribs meaty were just fried, not having dry and hard tast. The big dish were cladded with deep-fried garlic in pepper salt. I finished up this stuff and made empty of the plate. The Korean Gimbap gave me the a degree of disappointment as the rice textures were loose because of ingredients of none Korean rice. As a whole of the Gimbap, the rice textures must press hard to make them stick together. The Restaurant is run by two young men. He is friendly and polite. Young Men cheer up to run your Thai Korean restaurant.
Tasty Thai food and friendly staff! Always return for this Thai chicken rice, the portions are also huge. Highly recommend
Cozy little restaurant that does not disappoint, but the actual opposite! Extremely friendly staff and environment and the food… simply great. Everything freshly made, you can see and hear the pans being used and the smell coming out of the open kitchen. Do not miss the chance to come try it out, if you are a local you will actually become a regular, 100% guaranteed!
