We had one of their set menus- five dishes in all ( classics - fried chicken , tom yum soup , som tam , pad thai , pork larb) and with sticky rice. A superb range of tastes .

The whole street is packed with food choices, and we decided to give this place a try since we missed it on our last trip. We only ordered two dishes: papaya salad with pork jowl and Pad Thai. The papaya salad with pork jowl was really good—full of flavour and with a nice kick. If you can’t handle much spice, do ask for it to be less spicy. The Pad Thai was moist and well cooked, but it was a little too sweet for my taste. Overall, the papaya salad was definitely the highlight of the meal!

The food at Pha Khao was absolutely delicious, full of bold and authentic Isan flavours. Everything we ordered was fresh, beautifully presented and very tasty. The restaurant also has a lively atmosphere and stylish interior. However, be careful with the spice level ! We ordered our dishes “less spicy,” but they were still extremely spicy for us. If you are not used to very spicy food or simply want to enjoy the flavours more comfortably, I strongly recommend choosing the “not spicy” option when oỏdering. Overall, we really enjoyed the food and would happily return—next time, definitely with no chilli !
