About

Pao blends authentic Thai barbecue with local Norwegian seasonal ingredients, creating bold and often spicy dishes like Isaan style BBQ aubergine salad and red coconut pineapple curry. The restaurant offers a separate vegan menu with several interesting options, although spice levels can be quite high depending on the dish. Its modern interior features an open kitchen and a bar area, and while service is generally friendly and informed, some reviews mention occasional booking and attentiveness issues.
