Pad Thai (Mangga Besar)

Pad Thai is a discreet Thai restaurant in Mangga Besar. It is not a fancy venue but it looks modern and cozy, with some posters on the wall reminiscent of Thailand.

As with most restaurants in this area, the food is cheap and good-value. For a full meal with drinks, Rp50k should be enough. Pad Thai specializes in Tom Yum and Kwetiaw, with some Indonesian dishes such as Nasi Goreng.

We tried a bit of everything:

Tom Yum Seafood (Rp29,500)Nasi Goreng Ayam (Rp22,500)Pad Thai Ayam (Rp21,500)Ayam Pandan (Rp13,500)Manggo Salad

Overall: I thought the Kwetiaw was way too oily, but the rest of the food was quite good, especially the Manggo Salad and the Tom Yum. This is not an exceptional restaurant, but if you are a fan of affordable Thai food, you should give Pad Thai a try.

Opening hours:

Everyday, from 10.30am to 2.30pm and from 5pm to midnight
