Patou Thai - Belmont

Really nice restaurant, and people. Great quality. They do a lot of take out but it's a comfortable, clean place to eat in! Always a great experience.

Nice ethnic local restaurant. Ample seating. Municipal parking directly behind restaurant.

An ok at best Thai restaurant. Nothing on the menu is particularly amazing, but nothing is terrible either.

Patou in Belmont Center is the best Thai restaurant my family or I have visited in the United States (yes, I’ve had comparable dishes in Thailand). I estimate i have eaten Dan’s cooking (the owner) well north of 50 times. Barring food restrictions, order my go to and you will not be disappointed: Siam rolls Beef satay crab ragoons Spicy chicken fried rice Royal Thai noodles Green curry with beef Folks don’t realize, however Patou makes their appetizers fresh by hand (including the Siam rolls and crab ragoons above). They also make their own dipping sauces (I’ve encouraged Dan to try and bottle and sell them through Whole Foods). Save yourself a ticket to Thailand, Patou is the real deal. Dan can be seen in the kitchen nearly every day and treats his staff well. 10/10

Nice space. Easy parking. Crab rangoon was good. Nice presentation. Brown rice was good. Seafood dishes had rubbery scallops and portion size was small. Prices were too high for the quality. We won't come back.
