Pao - Sangamon

Girlfriend and I stumbled across Pao’s trying to find somewhere new for date night. Kinda hard to find, it’s nestled in a strip mall next to Sam’s club, not where you’d expect. Place was pretty dark, and a little on the noisy side, but it was pretty busy so that’s not really their fault. Food was pricey but good, and it took a while to get, but again, busy place. Waitress was apologetic and polite. My girlfriend had a nice time, not sure I’d go back though.

Decent restaurant. Food was fine but felt overpriced for what they actually give you. My big complaint is that they seem to have an issue with flies. I kept having a couple of flies bothering me and my husband, couldn’t get rid of them for the life of me. At one point I had one land on my food. It kind of ruined the experience for us. I’d guess they come in the patio door as people come and go. Seems a little pointless to have indoor dining if there’s going to be a bunch of flies anyhow… But I will say, the server was excellent and the drinks were mixed well, so I give it stars for that.

We had a worst experience with server named Susie. It was my husband’s birthday :

Our group had a thoroughly enjoyable experience at Pao on Friday night. Our waitress Bailey was attentive to all our needs and was quite pleasant. Congrats to the management and food staff for excellent selections. On a personal note, they have a new sea bass addition that is full of flavor.

After a small incident, I was told to F off and leave! Because my kind was not welcome there. As a religious patron after several visits, I have never received such disrespect and unprofessionalism!!!!!
