the manager ,Mindy is RUDE and LOUD and Obnoxious! She yelled at my wife when my wife tried to order over the phone. My wife did not understand what she was saying and asked for her to repeat herself and she lost it.The food is ok but way overpriced. Asked for soft well-done broccoli and it was totally ignored. Never again! read more

Food was pretty good but the service was just barely "okay". Nobody at the hostess station when we walked in and it took a minute to get seated. Waitress took a couple of minutes to appear and take a drinks order which then took 10 minutes to arrive. Delivery of our food took a long time, same for the table next to us. They had an entree that was delayed so long the gentleman got up to ask the staff about it. Waitress was not rude but certainly not at all friendly. Did not seem to be putting any personality into the job. I don't think that we will be going back here. read more

I called Pan Asia, first time customer, because their menu stated vegetable egg roll and vegetable dumplings. When I called to order, the lady was hard to understand; I asked her about the vegetable egg rolls. The lady yelled stating, " it have shrimp in it!!" I then called her back to ask about the vegetable spring roll, yelling at me again, "I told you it have shrimp it in!!!" I was calm and stated, "I asked you about the egg rolls earlier, not the spring rolls." She repeated again, "it have shrimp in it....you can't eat it!!!" And hung up on me so my boyfriend called back and canceled the order for her yelling at me and when he called she said, "oh my god!!!" lol!! read more

My go-to place for Asian food and sushi. Love it! Very clean, friendly, good atmosphere with great food. Highly recommend their vegetarian offerings. Their crab stuffed wontons are to die for! BYOB. Go here! You won't be disappointed! read more

This was not my first time here. Although the service is sub par - understaffed, and the food is just average, this was absolutely my last time. After ordering $50.00 worth of Chinese food ( it was just me and my wife) we had a fair amount of leftovers to take home. I asked an employee by the register if I could take a packet of soy sauce and mustard that they throw in a take out order, he said yes. As it sat on our table waiting for our check ( poor service) the hostess/manager proceeded to have 3 "conferences" with the help, speaking a different language and looking over their shoulders at us. Finally the server came to our table and told us that packet cost fifty cents and we couldn't have it. Keep your soy sauce and your below average business. There's a place up the street much better. read more

The service was awful.first they try to rush you . Then I almost had to beg for a glass of water. My date got her salads but I never got mine or my soup. I thought she made a mistake when I ordered because there was one meal with a special salad and soup and another without. When the bill came the waitress said she would bring me the soup and salads to go . I could not believe what I was hearing. I said no . So she said she would speak to the manager. Long story short they charged me for the full course meal. The reviews said the service sucked but this is unbelievable. The place is over priced for the quality of food and the management is aweful.I tried for you don't make the same mistake I did. read more

Waited for service, waitress took order from couple who came in at least five minutes after us. Then we waited for our order and again for a box. Not sure if we'll be coming back. read more

Great menu and nice staff. Got take out a few times it was good. Even got a kids menu but no juice or chocolate milk byoj? Lol read more

Ordered the chicken pad Thai to go. Was not bad but most importantly was not authentic. Very creamy and not the appropriate sauce. I do not recommend this item and you should try something different on the menu read more

Very disappointed with my take out meal. I have ordered from this restaurant many times and this is the first time when ordering Wonton soup that I got a plastic container with just broth and a sandwich bag with the noodles and meat in it. Called to find out why they did this and they said so it would remain fresh. This seems very unsanitary to me and decided it wasn't a good idea to eat it, so in the garbage it went. I guess they don't make the soup fresh on a daily basis. They never offered me a refund for the soup. I definitely will not be ordering take out from them again! read more

Absolutely phenomenal food ... both Barnegat and Lacey ... worth every penny .... I suggest the dragon fire chicken or Mongolian beef

This review is for the NEW LOCATION in Barnegat off Lighthouse (as I cannot locate it here). Having had a good experience at the former Pan Asia in Lacey, we decided to visit this new one. Unfortunately it was a horrible experience. First of all the tables were dirty, and when I asked for one to be wiped down, the server couldn't understand and plopped our menus onto the crumbs and seated us. Next, we ordered Pad Thai and got the strangest, smallest rendition I've ever had. The flavor profile was similar but the noodles were slick and the sauce was a strange clear texture. Although we ordered chicken, we got a heavily seafood-scented shrimp. When I could finally get a server's attention, I said "we ordered chicken. I don't mind shrimp but I don't want to be charged extra for shrimp." She nodded as if she understood. When the bill came at the additional charge (delivered by our first server), I referred back to our comment and this server proceeded to argue with the other one, in a foreign language, over my daughter's and my heads. We finally said, "forget it," we were so uncomfortable, and paid and left. I can NOT recommend this place, either for the cleanliness, the service, or the food. Barnegat NEEDS successful, diverse food, so this is a disappointment for a new business. read more

Stopped here while waiting for my dog to get groomed. Place inside is very nice. Had food off the lunch menu; Shrimp w/mixed veggies and PFR. It was very tasty. Ordered it with a wonton which I can't say the same about. Soup had no taste, wontons were small and soggy. I also ordered gyoza soup which I was disappointed with as well only because I didn't expect it to be in the miso broth and I don't like miso. I'd definitely dine here again and avoid the soups but the dishes were great as well as the presentation. read more

Haven't visited this restaurant in about 9 months. I'm kind giving it a 1 star. We were there this past Monday, all you can eat sushi. Took our son there who was visiting because he loves sushi. Well what an embarrassment. Service was beyond poor. Place was 1/2 full so can't say they were busy. We had to keep asking for glasses etc. you can only order 2 rolls at one time which is fine but it took forever for the waitress to come back over. We finally flagged down another one. Definitely short on help and inexperienced at that. We ordered Mongolian Beef which we have enjoyed there in the past. Well it was not what we ordered. Couldn't be bothered waiting for it to be corrected. Waitress never offered the desert which was to be included. One table got oranges at the end and we got fortune cookies no oranges. Use to be both at end of the meal. Even the bowl of Chinese strips offered in the beginning was only 1/2 full for 3 people. Never an offer to refill! Beginning to think the place was 1/2 empty because it has gone downhill so bad!! What a shame because it was always such a nice restaurant and good food! I don't think we'll be returning. read more

My fiancé and I have been going here for years! We love it. Their sushi is always fresh, and their Chinese food is amazing too! We always get the chicken lettuce wraps, ahi tuna, boneless spare ribs, and kani salads. Their Chinese food (esp the Mongolian beef) is amazing! Sometimes the wait for food is slow, but everything is cooked to order and fresh, so it is all worth the wait! read more

Was very disappointed with my meal. The PadThai should be called SAD Thai. It was the worst I've ever had. I wish I would have taking a picture The service was very slow and waitresses come off being rude. We brought a bottle of wine and it was not opened until our food came. The staff just rushes around and it's very uncomfortable. Nikko in town is a much better option for food quality and service read more

Love this place! Food is always fresh and everything I have tried from Japanese to Chinese is always delicious!! Staff is very friendly! Decent prices too! Definitely a must try! read more

From start to finish it was great. Apps were fried dumpling and lettuce wraps, meals were spicy lobster roll and the siracha roll. My bf usually doesn't enjoy sushi and he loved his lobster roll. Everything was very fresh. The service was very prompt they had no problems with the substitutes I made to my roll. Drinks were always full. The environment was quiant and relaxing. Highly recommend. read more

This is regarding the Barnegat location. Although the food is good the service needs work. We were sat shortly after 5. We ordered a roll as an appetizer and our meals. After 10 minutes the waitress came over and asked if we were ok with our appetizer served with our meal. When our meal was served my husband's meal was ice cold. By the time we sent it back we realized our roll appetizer served after the dinner arrived was incorrect. We informed a server what the correct roll was. By the time my husband's meal arrived we were done our dinner and the roll still wasn't done. We took both things to go as we had been there more than 90 minutes and had someone else to be. They only removed the incorrect roll for the check which my husband did eat as there was nothing else to eat. As I said I have no complaint on the quality of the food but their restaurant service needs work read more

Great crispy wontons and sauce at the table. My portion of beef lo mein was huge for only $9 and it wasn't little pieces of beef, it was big slices of steak. Very very good. Egg roll was pretty good. At the end of the meal they gave little sliced oranges and hot towels. I will definitely be returning for dine in or take out. Nice atmosphere. read more

Absolutely terrible. We attempted to try pan Asia in Lacey when it first opened years ago. We waited more than 45 minutes and never got our food so we left. We saw they opened another location in Barnegat and decided to give them another shot. Bad idea. The sushi was disgusting and the presentation was sloppy. I love sushi so for me to not finish simple rolls like salmon/avo and spicy tuna is saying something. The egg rolls were flavorless. Pork fried rice was flavorless. General Tso's chicken was lacking flavor (it was labeled "spicy," mind you) and had a gross, chewy texture. The firecracker shrimp was just ok but we had to ration the sauce between the two of us because they were so skimpy on it. So disappointed. We will definitely not be back. Don't waste your time, money or aggravation on this place. read more

Menu - Raises the bar for Asian cuisine. Not your average takeout Chinese. The menu still offers the Chinese classics but the Thai and Japanese is where they excel. One of the top sushi places in the county. Extremely flexible with customizing your order to your preference. Favorite entree - Pad Thai I have tried most of the Pad Thai in the county and many more and this is at the top. Customer service - Friendly and polite staff. Make an effort to know their patrons. Prices - slightly higher than most takeout Chinese places but well worth the extra money. read more

Okay, I was so surprised with this place. I moved down to the shore 5 years ago from NYC an had been looking for a good sushi place ever since. I didn't know of this place until a friend mentioned it, and I confess that I was a bit skeptical. That all ended when my order arrived, I got a sushi deluxe, it came beautifully plated, and most importantly it tasted great. Price was similar to most, very busy spot! Make your reservation in advance. read more

Let me preface this review with something positive. This restaurant was one of the few in town that was passable and offered a nice variety of good tasting meals. That being said, due to a recent take-out experience, my family and I will never eat from this restaurant again. Sanitation is a serious, and I mean SERIOUS issue here. I'm not naive to the nature of pest issues in restaurants, but when a live roach crawls out of a box they provided to carry our take-out order AND a fried roach was found in our food, I'm led to believe they have a major infestation. This is not something to be taken lightly and I hope that they get their act together to remediate the issue before people get really sick. read more

Been ordering here for a while as they make good food. But latest take out order my wife found a dead small fly in her food which is unacceptable. Very grossed out and won't be ordering from here anymore. read more

Went there for take out for the first time after passing it on RT 9 for years. Ordered Szechuan beef, Thai basil beef and Kung Po chicken. I requested extra spice for Szechuan dish with extra beef because I suspected when I got home I would have mostly vegetables... I didn't see any evidence that Szechuan pepper was used, the dish was barely spicy and the beef was super chewy. The sauce was basic at best. Same goes for the Thai basil. Nothing authentic about it, except perhaps a few chunks of lemon grass and a few pieces of very wilted basil. Kung Po chicken was good but not something I order frequently, so nothing really to compare. Not great for the money....$49 later. Nothing really different from the local Chinese restaurants in the area. Very disappointed. Won't try again. read more

I really like this place. I usually get the Lemongrass or Coconut dishes with shrimp, but this time I got the Basil with shrimp. The food taste fresh. They are usually quick with services. read more

Waitress service was horrible. Waited for over 20 minutes just for someone to come and take my order for drinks! The food was mediocre, beautiful decor. read more

I went to Pan Asia tonight for dinner with my girlfriend and her son. The service was atrocious. Started off with some edamame that wasn't fully cooked, the rest of the meal was tolerable. Between the soup, sushi and some basic Chinese food everything was mediocre and really didn't taste fresh. My least favorite part of the meal was when they brought the food out and we didn't have plates or utensils. and it took about 5 minutes for the waitress to deliver those items. We brought a bottle of wine as well, the waitress brought the wine glasses but again no corkscrew for another 10 minutes. I am not one to complain usually but this is not acceptable. Needless to say I will not be returning there. read more

I grew up in Manhattan - went to high school on the fringe of Chinatown - and through, well, life, have come to live within a half mile of Pan Asia. Personally, I don't believe that New Yorkers know everything about life, but if you want to know the opinion of a native New Yorker: I've been living in NJ since the early 80's and can still count on my left hand the number of great Chinese restaurants I've found in NJ. Pan Asia is a gift. The worst thing I can say is that they don't deliver. As in, they won't bring it to my front door. But deliver the goods? Absolutely. I am not a sushi person (dude, that's raw fish) and I don't do Thai (coconut, eww) but the Chinese is soooo solid. I'm local so I don't eat in, so I can't talk about service in the restaurant, but I've been there many dozens of times picking up dinner and have never seen restive guests murmuring insurrection at the door of the kitchen because they haven't eaten yet. The food - we're there for food, right? - is excellent. I particularly love the sesame chicken,the beef chow fun and the sichuan beef. I love the fried dumplings. Their egg rolls are as good as it's ever going to get. As ever. read more

Good food and a nice price good friendly staff nice peaceful setting and plenty of parking

Barnegat location... we were happy there was something new in Barnegat but we were very disappointed. Chicken was slimy, in mine and my daughters dish as well. Quality of the food severely lacking and it's not cheap. Service was very poor as well. Won't be back read more

Food is really good and fresh.... I eat a lot of Chinese and Japanese food and this is one of the few restaurants I have been to that have mastered both. The price too are very reasonable. Can't beat BYOB! read more

The food itself is not bad (except for the fact that I got food poisoning twice) i decided to try to give it one last shot and ordered take out... Got home and every thing in the bag was upside down. The sushi rolls were all smushed to one side of the container and falling apart. It was disgusting. And I wouldn't be surprised if I got sick for a third time tonight. Very disappointed. I Will not go back. read more

Hadn't been here in quite a while. We had heard about the all you can eat sushi on Mondays and gave it a try. Very good, just as I remembered. We both left full. You get to order 2 or 3 rolls per person, at a time as you finish you order more. I think I got 5 rolls, the wife 3, both had dessert and soda for about $50. read more

My wife & I stopped in on a whim. I'm glad I did, I live in Manahawkin and there is not a great selection of Asian places to choose from, so finding Pan Asia was a pleasant surprise. I had a Thai dish , chicken with sweet chili sauce, which I enjoyed very much. My wife had the Mongolian Beef .. She like hers also. I read a lot about poor service, but my experience was very good. I will definite return for more !! read more

Hand down the BEST Asian food restaurant in Lacey Township!! Delicious, good quality and reasonably priced. The General Tso's Chicken is flavorful and amazing!! I'm extremely picky with that dish, because it's my favorite! But Pan Asia sets the bar very high, and I approve. I recommend the lunch specials, which include a main entree, your choice of fried rice, and Wonton soup. It's all served in hefty portions, and might even be enough for two meals! I love leftovers so I'm not complaining! read more

The food was amazing! I'm definitely into culture food, so i've been a lot of places and tried a lot of things. This was really what i was looking for. I'll make sure I stop back in on my next visit! read more

Food was decent, wonton soup was an 8 out of 10, dumplings were 3 out of 10 and chicken broccoli was a 7 out of 10. Dinner portions were quite large and enough to share. Wait staff was stern and not very friendly. I would return to this place but I'm not gonna rush back. Meal was priced reasonably. read more

If you are sensitive to MSG, please either ask them to not use it for your dish or skip this place entirely. I have gone to this restaurant many times before, it seems like their quality has dropped so much. Their dishes are bland. I had the Thai Red Curry w/beef. It was very bland, no spice. My girlfriend had some chicken platter. Afterwards I had a really bad headache, and my girlfriend had a allergic reaction. Bad, bad, bad. read more
