This place is quickly becoming one of the best Thai spots in Davis in my opinion. Their curries have a wonderful array of spices and chilies and they just are so refreshing and yummy! Of course sometimes I go for noodles as well, and they are just as good. Paste Thai has a great balance of flavor in their food. That being said, the price can be high for certain items but I'd say it's totally worth it. If you're dining in, in my experience the service was quick, with food coming out usually within 5 minutes, 15 minutes at most! There is comfortable seating, and usually it's very peaceful and quiet inside. I'd highly recommend trying this place out if you haven't yet!

Went another day and had the basil eggplant. So delicious! I think I'll call it my new favorite dish

In my opinion, the best place to get Thai food in Davis, super yummy and plenty of parking in the plaza. Greeted by the front desk and seated right away, the menu has plenty of items. Although I went for dinner, there is a lunch menu which is a few dollars cheaper than dinner. The restaurant was a simple modern dining experience, great for group settings or just yourself. Ordered a Pad Thai with chicken ($17.95) and Pad Si Ew with chicken ($17.95), there is an extra cost for other protein except chicken, tofu, and veggies. The portion of the Pad Thai is fairly large, the medium spicy is quite spicy after eating a few bites, just kept drinking water and honestly took a break from eating because of the spice. With that, the waitress was able to pick up the too spicy and offered to remake our dishes which I really appreciated. I really dislike sending food back because I believe that it is my fault for ordering incorrectly. He explained that sometimes the chili can be spicier than other times. As for the food, the noodles had a bouncy texture, al dente for sure which I enjoy. The tamarind sauce on the pad Thai was really delicious and fresh. Pad si ew had plenty of veggies and super yummy. I definitely will be coming back to support this restaurant and you should too!

My husband and I really enjoyed our dinner here for the first time dining here on our way to see a concert at the Mondavi Center. We love Thai food and decided to give this place a try. The restaurant itself is quaint, small, very clean and modern inside. The hostess at the door and our waitress were very friendly and accommodating. We ordered two Thai iced teas and we both remarked to one another how this was the best version of this drink we ever had. We ordered two entrees to split---basil beef with rice and Thai fried rice with shrimp. Both dishes were excellent, super fresh tasting, and the beef in the one dish was ample and quite tender. The mango salad looked so good, if we were going immediately home after dinner, we would have ordered that, too. It looked so good!! The only thing I thought was odd is how they charge you extra for steamed ricce with the stir fry dishes.

Weekday lunch with an old Davis colleague. I got the Pad Thai with Chicken, and a Thai Iced Tea. They got the Pad Se Ew with Tofu. When the food came out, their dish had chicken instead of tofu so the waitress took it back and the kitchen remade it, which cost us some time. There seemed to be only one waitress taking care of all of the tables, though. Usually, I would go for shrimp in the pad Thai, but it does seem pricier here. The lunch portion was pretty big, no/mild spice, and the Thai iced tea was good (no refills). Since our entree was delayed, we didn't have any more time on lunch break to get dessert or anything. If I'm ever back in Davis, I might consider coming back to Paste. Next time I will try the Thai green milk tea another reviewer here mentioned, I have only ever seen it at one other place so far (Manaao in West Sacramento). Located in the same plaza as Huku, Guadalajara, and Nugget.
