Start with a refreshing Basil Roll, Chicken or Pork Satay, or Thai Pork Spare Ribs.  Delicious, filling salads like Crispy Duck or classic Green Papaya Salad.  Try the Cashew Tofu Stir-fry, Beef Massaman, Green Curry Chicken, Pineapple Fried Rice and Vegetable Prik Pao.  Many vegetarian entrees. Comfortable, casual seating in semi-private areas keep distractions to a minimum. Exotic cocktails served at the long bar until late. Karaoke on Friday nights, DJ's on Saturday after dinner service.

Abysmal. Decor means nothing when the food is dreadful. Unable to execute a dish as simple as Tom Yum Goong? Tasted like pure fish sauce - odiferous and acidic. Out of four different dishes, one was decent. The only time I've sent something back to the kitchen...

Having lived in Thailand for a while, I can tell you that the food at Phao Thai Kitchen is authentic, and delicious. The portions are generous as well. I like the variety -- from vegetarian all the way to Massaman Curry with tender beef and stewed potatoes. I also like the play of Western-based foods with a Thai twist -- like the pork ribs with green curry coleslaw.

Faux would be a more accurate name than Phao.

While the food was good, it is very expensive for Thai food and having to order rice as a side to go with your curry only makes the prices harder to swallow.

Certainly trendy, but maybe a little too much so: I am guessing that the owners were trying to recreate the look and feel of a "hip" Thai bistro but what results is more of a semi-"Grunge" establishment that borders on the bleak. Wire mesh screens separate dining areas instead of the silk tapestries that one might find in a "real" Thai dining spot. The partitition between the bar and dining area is what's left from ripping out the previous walls. The place is stark, dark and incredibly noisy. I also didn't get the choice of music: Santana came blasting out of the walls instead of something more appropriate ethnically. It felt more like one of the cheap dives that I remember from a bad night in Manilla than something that I experienced in much more attractive Bangkok. The service was acceptable but nothing special and our wait person was almost belligerant when one of our party had to turn back a main dish piled with shrimp, to which she is allergic. She had ordered noodles, with no mention of shrimp. The rice was hard, not at all soft or fluffy and the beef in my meat-and-potatoes curry was as pliable as shoe leather. Dishes came out on a staggered basis and none were initially served to the correct party. As noted by the previous reviewer, the prices are pretty reasonable, for a Hamptons "hot spot" but prices don't matter when the food is average at best and the atmosphere sulky and borderline depressing.

Went in expecting to be dissapointed after several dreary experiences when Phao was located across the street, but left with a huge smile on my face. Really good Thai, and not that expensive (relatively, of course). Very noisy though. Had to shout to be heard across a small table.
