Panang Thai: Reviews & Ratings
Spot on Thai food with amazing flavors and selection. They have options you don't normally find in typical Thai restaurants which is really nice! We ordered takeaway but the interior was really put together. Staff were really friendly and professional!
Huge fresh spring rolls and excellent tofu Panang curry. 15% tip added automatically so no worries about that. Really cool decor as well
I was stuck at the Westin next door for work with no car and needed a bite to eat and this was literally the closest place outside of the hotel. Saw the outside and felt a tad skeptical tbh but saw that most of the reviews were pretty solid and decided to give it a try. It did not disappoint! Order and pay online and if it's before 3pm, you qualify for lunch pricing with slight discounts and a few combination plates which seem to include an egg roll and salad. I didn't want a combo so just ordered the pad see ew ($15) and it was totally delish. Noodles were cooked perfectly and seasoned really well. I selected chicken as my protein and there was a surprising amount of meat and more slices of chinese broccoli than I've ever seen before in a Thai noodle dish. YUM! I also wanted something crispy and went with egg rolls, which did the trick and were about what I was expecting (plus 5 for $8 is definitely cheaper than what I'd pay back at home.) They do brisk takeout here and everything is packed very neatly to go with utensils, good napkins, and three packets of sauce (soy, sriracha, & sambal oelek chili.) Ask if you want chopsticks, though. Sodas are cheaper than the hotel vending machines at $1.75 a can. I also dined-in for dinner and failed to notice until after I got back to the hotel that they'd automatically added a 15% service charge to the bill. I tipped them twice by accident! The location is a bit questionable but, in case you're curious, there's a different front door to the massage place than the restaurant and they don't seem to be connected in any way EXCEPT for the giant sign that you have to walk under to get to Panang Thai. :0
