Pato Thai Cuisine is praised for its authentic and delicious Thai dishes, with many highlighting the customizable spice levels and generous portions. The unique decor adds to the casual and inviting atmosphere.

"The flavors here were on point. So delicious. The service was always with a smile. The sweet and sour shrimp was my absolute favorite. The Thai Tea was perfect and the staff was above and beyond. I loved the decor, the wall of doors really set the atmosphere. The staff were so friendly. I will definitely be back when Thai food is on the wish list!"

"On Route 66, Great selection of dishes.
Fast Service, bright open and clean dining room.
Several size tables and even a large table for groups.
I ordered the Special Pineapple Fried rice at a 3 heat Level of 5, and it was just north of medium in my opinion and it was Great!!
Large Portion size also!!
My wife did the Combination soup and it lived up to its name and was perfect for her, tasty but not spicy, as she does hot food.
Very Reasonable prices also!"
Michael Benedetto

The restaurant itself was mostly empty at the time we went to pick up the order. The order took about 20 minutes, as promised when ordered over the phone. One negative is the fact that this restaurant is located in Downtown Flagstaff, where there is no free parking, and the restaurant does not have its own parking space.

I’m partial to Pato Thai, so I will start there, they started in a small location in the Monte Vista Hotel building and expanded recently onto our Main street/Route 66. Pato offers great food, fast, if you need it to go or if you’re out and about. I would recommend the Kai Kua noodle with extra broccoli!
