Payathai Restaurant Atlantis: A Family Kitchen Blending Thai and Japanese Flavors

On South Congress Avenue in Atlantis, Payathai Restaurant has built its identity around a genuinely personal approach to hospitality — the kind that comes from decades of experience and a family name actually behind the counter.

Two Cuisines, One Family's Craft

Payathai specializes in both Thai and Japanese cooking, giving guests a menu that spans sushi and sashimi alongside Thai staples like pad Thai and panang curry, plus a range of specialty sushi rolls. That dual-cuisine approach lets the kitchen serve a broader range of cravings than a single-focus restaurant, whether guests are in the mood for a spicy curry or a fresh roll.

Family-Owned, Family-Run

The restaurant is family owned and operated by a husband-and-wife team who bring more than 30 years of combined experience in the restaurant business — and that experience translates directly into how guests are treated. The owners describe their approach simply: they "treat our customers like family," a philosophy that shows up in the personal service regulars have come to expect. Lunch and dinner menus are both available for takeout, though delivery service has been discontinued in favor of a focus on pickup and dine-in orders. The restaurant is closed on Mondays.

While the business once operated a second location in Boca Raton, that spot is currently closed, leaving the Atlantis location as the flagship for guests seeking Payathai's blend of Thai and Japanese cooking.
