I am a former restaurant owner, now retired, who enjoys Asian cuisine. My wife and I visited Pawit's for lunch the other day. The restaurant was a little off the beaten path, as I am not familiar with the Cottonwood area. After a wrong turn or 2, we arrived. Good parking and the interior ambiance was very good. Before ordering lunch, my wife has to use the restroom, and upon returnng commented that it was the nicest and cleanest she had seen. We were also very impressed with the service, very professional. When our meal came, we continued to be impressed. The presentation was excellent, and the taste of the dishes was even better! My wife does not like spicy dishes, so she was advised by the server that the 2 items that she wanted could be made with no chiles. However, I enjoy the heat. I ordered some ""hot"" on the side. Expecting ground dried chiles, I was pleasently surprised to see fresh, finely chopped chiles!! All in all, a fine lunch, no better Thai in Utah..in my opinion. Well deserving of Salt Lake Magazine's award for best Thai in Utah. We will return.
Pros: Best Thai in Utah
Cons: Possibly the location if you are not familiar with Cottonwood
