As I told the owner and the staff there, this was the best food I have ever put in my mouth. Not exaggerating. I was crying both out of flamy spiciness and pure joy at the same time. Would travel to Santorini again for this place alone.

Absolutely great food and service. We had the mixed platter to share as a starter which was great, but the crab and cream cheese wonton is not a dish i would recommend. The combination doesn't work. Never will.
However the rest of the food was great. Staff attentive and alert and the food was tasty and at a reasonable price. Its worth a visit. The food was as good as I have eaten in Thailand.

We were looking for a break from the usual restaurants along our Greece travels, very happy to find Asian cuisine at the fitting Paradox. Went there twice in a 5 day stay. They don't have a "Santorini view" but it's far made up for by their amazing food, fair prices, only 13 euro for 1 Liter carafe of wine, and great ambiance and music (acoustic covers). It also wasn't crowded, maybe bc it's not in the densest part of tourists' path or it was early in season (early May), or people weren't ready for a break from the typical menus out there yet. 

Between the 6 dishes my husband and I had, we loved them all - curry, satay, 2 noodle soups, chow mein, and a unique take on rangoons. We were traveling with my family at the time and my brother went there another 3 times during his week stay after we told him about it. 

Worth a stop and worth breaking from the mainstream menus for!!

What a lovely Thai restaurant in the heart of Oia. The food was insanely good. Reminded me of my trip to Thailand. Richel who served us was so pleasant and friendly. It was so good to enjoy some spice after a week of enjoying lovely Greek food but without any spice. The flavours were so authentic and the prices very affordable for Santorini.

I believe it would help draw in more customers like us looking for good Thai cuisine, if ‘Asian Thai’ was more prominently displayed. We happened to pass by and saw the name. What a little gem of a restaurant serving amazing Thai cuisine. Will definitely be going back.

Absolutely Exceptional!… We have eaten in Santorini for 5 nights and this has been by far the best food ever. Amazing food and wonderful service. Eat inside with air conditioning for a truly fab Thai food experience! Staff are very friendly helpful and obliging and music is lovely too. Well worth a visit!
