Beautiful place, delicious food, good service, spicy and tasty or not spicy and very delicious food. They do have wine ???? and different cocktails, vegetarian and vegan Options, chicken etc. They have delicious salsas different it depends on the dishes. The restaurant is very clean and is great for a date night, a bit pricey but good experience. They accept reservations. Inside there's air-conditioned.

Lovely little Thai restaurant. Had a flavoursome Prawn pad thai noodle which I thoroughly enjoyed! My boyfriend also had a Tom Yum soup which he said was good but spicy. The Gin Thai Mule i think it's called is the best cocktail- I reordered even before finishing my 1st! The customer service was good too! Will probably be back here again before we leave Playa del Carmen!

Visiting from Australia we were craving fresh, tasty cuisine and vegetables! We are very blessed to enjoy some of the best Asian food and Thai is especially one of our national dishes. Firstly, Our waiter Antonio was charming, attentive and provided brilliant service - he is a credit to the restaurant.

When we ordered our first drink - The Margarita he mentioned they were the best on the strip, which of course we all chuckled about but then they came out - wow. I’ve never had a margarita presented like that and it was also absolutely delicious and not too sweet or watered down like we’d had at other bars or restaurants.

As each dish arrived - spring rolls, satay chicken, fried rice and our mains - the first thing that we all agreed “The chef must be Thai!?”… we enquired with Antonio and this was true. This isn’t a watered down version of Thai you find in other countries - it is genuine and authentic and a must dine when you visit Playa. Nothing is short of heat if that’s what you seek - I love super spicy and was able to enjoy that along side milder options for my friends. Chilli flakes, spicy tamarind and crushed peanuts were available on the side of you wanted to jack up the heat.

Overall the service from all team members was top notch with Antonio being the highlight. In a busy restaurant, he always made sure each table and their guests were taken care of. 10/10 will dine again.

It turns out that when ordering in a Thai restaurant, where spicy food is originally supposed, I must say that I, please, spicy. Vice versa. it turns out that the Thai restaurant needs to be told that I need a spicy salad, but where is the logic? As a result, I got a sour salad with home delivery. There was absolutely no pepper. At this point, I had hypothermia in my body and needed pepper to warm my body from the inside. As a result, I myself came to the restaurant, where the manager did not understand me at all, returned my order and said we would not fix anything. That is, I had to write that this salad was a spicy THAI restaurant, where already it SHOULD be a very very very spicy salad. At the same time, they do not admit their mistake and insist that THIS IS NORMALLY SOUR THAI SALAD.
The most interesting thing is that they sit and prove to me that they are right. This is terrible. This is terrible, I would fire such managers.

To the review above, I will continue my story.

And I clearly asked for ONE large pepper and instead of cashew peanuts. They did the opposite, SEVEN HUGE Peppers and a peanut. when I arrived home, I was horrified, the Buddhist chef began to take revenge, you know, it’s not even childish, he put me seven Peppers. For such a small amount. Of course, after this, I will not return to this restaurant in my life, and I will tell all my friends. We live here, and when there are no tourists, you will not see us in your restaurant. I am silent about the behavior of your managers, who closed the door to me in front of my face in front of all the visitors. Because they didn't want to change my salad. Who actually works there? Do they have an education? To argue with customers and prove that they are right. That Thai salad should be sour and I should say that I need it spicy. This is such nonsense that only an uneducated person who has never visited Thailand would come up with.
I don't know what happened to these people where there was a very good energy and now they are just doing dirty things and doing it out of spite. They don't respect or listen to their customers. It's time to change staff

Antonio was the best server we came across in Playa del Carmen!

The food was incredible with amazing flavors and very accommodating to all diets. Our table was three vegetarians and we were happily surprised how memorable the meal was!!

I HIGHLY recommend if you want fresh delicious food. The pineapple fried rice and Chenin Blanc were highlights of the meal.

Great Thai food. Decent value compared to most of the tourist traps on 5th Ave. Our waiter Antonio was knowledgeable and courteous. Portion sizes a little small if you are a hungry guy. Definitely will go back.

Po Thai is an overall good place to Eat. Service was prompt and friendly. It felt cozy, clean and welcoming. Pricing was quite reasonable. The food was for the most part tasty, even though portions were a bit on the small side.
It’s centrally located and about a block away from 5th Avenida.
Enjoyed several meals at Po Thai and would not hesitate to return.
