Kyoto, Japan｜Creative Thai Cuisine Pad Thai

Came here on a friend’s recommendation and loved everything we ordered. Got the red curry with chicken, pad thai, shrimp fried rice, and fried tofu. The service was friendly and fantastic (they switched to English after they heard us speaking it) and they made our daughters a non-spicy version of the sauce for the tofu on their own initiative. They double checked if my wife had a milk allergy when she requested no dairy in a drink. Definitely going back the next time I’m in Kyoto.

I'm a Thai cuisine enthusiast, and regularly cook from recipes from the dozen Thai cookbooks that I own. Creative Thai Cuisine Pad Thai serves wonderful food prepared by a lovely Japanese husband and Thai wife couple. The wife communicates well in English. The ambiance is like a casual cafe, very comfortable. The portion sizes are large. The Jasmine rice that came with my Penang curry was gigantic for Japan standards. I also ordered the deep fried fish with herb sauce, delicious. The prices are reasonable, and for what you get, コスパがいい。I cannot wait to go again!

My favorite Thai restaurant in Kyoto! I've had most of the items on the menu over the last 5 years, and they've all been delicious. Chatting with the friendly staff is always pleasant. Even after moving out of the neighborhood, I always make a point to visit here whenever I can.
