Great Thai food & close to Hotels near by which makes it a great choice for tourists. I've been coming here for years and they had couple changes. Prices changed but quantity looks the same. They do have a Service charge of 15% for Dine In which is the equivalent to the servers tip. It works well with people like me who doesn't like to figure it out All the tip. 15% is the bare minimum to me. I see some reviews of people complaining about it? I personally didn't mind it at all. Servers were friendly, food was great, good background music & I will definitely keep coming back for take out or Dine In. read more

Ooh...this food was not it. It wasn't tasty OR appetizing. I ordered the chicken pad Thai, and as soon as the server put the plate in front of me, my first thought was, "Eww...this does not look good." We eat with our eyes first, and just looking at the plate made me lose my appetite. Unfortunately, the taste didn't make up for the presentation. After the first bite, I was like, "Yeah...this ain't it." It basically tasted like noodles tossed in sauce. There was no distinct pad Thai flavor at all. My husband ordered the orange chicken, and his wasn't any better. It had way too much breading and was drenched in sauce, which made it soggy instead of crispy. And then there are the extra fees. They charge a 15% dine-in fee PLUS a 4% credit card fee. That's an additional 19% before you even consider a tip. Between the food and the added fees, I definitely wouldn't return. read more

I've been here multiple times since I work very close by, and whenever I want something different, this is one of the places I come to. The food is always good, but my favorite is definitely the Pad Thai. I love the crushed peanuts on top -- honestly, anything with peanuts is an automatic yes for me. The restaurant itself has a very traditional Thai atmosphere and decor, and the server who is usually there has always been very nice and provided great service. Unfortunately, the reason I'm giving only 2 stars has nothing to do with the food or the server. On two separate occasions, months apart, I've witnessed an older gentleman, who I assume is the owner or manager, repeatedly scolding the server while customers are sitting nearby eating. Of course, I don't know what happens behind the scenes and it's not my place to get involved in anyone else's situation. But as a customer, it's uncomfortable to sit so close to that while trying to enjoy a meal. The first time I thought it might have just been a bad day, but when I came back months later and experienced the same thing again, it really affected my impression of the place. It's unfortunate because the food is genuinely very good and the server has always been wonderful. I just wish those conversations were handled privately and away from customers. read more

A reliable spot for me to hit anytime I'm coming home the airport or staying at the Westin nearby. It's a cute, family-run spot with a fun interior and a no-frills, comfortable feel. The owner is kind and a bit of a fun character! The food itself is solid and satisfying. The curries are the standouts for me, especially the pineapple curry and the panang curry. Both are flavorful, come with rice, and feel reasonably priced for the portions you get. Those are my go-to orders and the ones I'd recommend. Some of the entrée-style dishes are a bit pricier and don't include rice, so I usually skip those and stick with the curries. This place has been a lifesaver after getting back from the airport when my wife and I are starving and don't want fast food. A couple of things to note. Parking can be tricky if you're not already in a nearby garage, though there is some street parking on nearby side streets. Also, there is a dine-in charge that's roughly equivalent to a standard tip, so just be aware of that going in. That seems to be to account for the fact that you may not have the same server visit your table throughout the meal. Panang Cafe is a solid Thai option in an area that could really use more spots like it, and I'm very glad it's there. read more

Just the kind of restaurant I was looking for: close to the airport, free parking and healthy food. I was going to LAX to pick up a relative, but was early (and hungry). So many great-sounding menu items. I chose the Kung Pao Chicken, a little worried that it might be too oily or spicy. It wasn't. Loaded with vegetables and sauteed in a wok, my meal was "cooked to order." read more

Very bad customer service. Were denied booth on request even when the whole restaurant was empty. They were more focused on starting to close the restaurant at 7:30, even though the restaurant closing time is 9:00pm as per the hours. Food was not good as well. On top of that , there was a service charge of 15% applied directly in the bill for just 2 adults and 1 kid. Not happy at all. read more

I pass this place everyday going to and from work so naturally I had to check it out to see what it's about. Upon walking into the restaurant you're blown away by the amazing decorations of the restaurant. The workers there are very nice and pleasant. My order today was Thai fried rice with beef, no onions. It was perfect, although it coulda used a little more flavor but that a personal preference it was still really good. I ate the whole thing in one sitting. read more

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 read more

In the history of pad Thai, the keys to success include something known as tamirand and noodles. With bean sprouts, and then egg and some other ingredients. Ancient people speak of a dish that is easy to replicate and that it is nearly impossible to ruin. Well the folks here have made the impossible become reality. It looked good. It smelled good, it tasted, not good. Flavor was lacking. I ate about 35 percent because I was starving plus I just dropped 15 bucks for this. Even with a chili packet and throwing in soy sauce didn't improve. One other note, have the peanuts in a separate cup rather than on the side of the food. And include chopsticks. Not that either would have mattered with this dish. read more

Panang Thai - Poor green curry - Thai Near Me - Los Angeles, California

The 2 stars is really for the service. The staff was attentive but the food was like a takeout versus sit down place. The dishes also smelled of chlorine/ bleach and we ended up swapping it out. All the meats in the dishes were over cooked/dry/chewy. Taste is ok but way watery. The sauce is basically independent of the food. The garnishes (eg bean sprouts, carrot strips, cilantro) looked like they had sat out for a while - they were dried out and browned. If you're in a pinch near the hotels, ok option but if you have some mobility, aim for other neighborhoods in LA offering more options. read more

I am moving down to LA starting in September and I can attest that the food in LA is amazing. This place has got to have the best pad see ew that I have ever tried in my life. The sauce was so nutty and decadent. The protein portions were a perfect ratio of the noodles. The curries here are also so flavorful. One thing I would skip out on here is the orange chicken. There was too much coating and not big/thick enough chicken pieces underneath. I would say about 5-6 pieces were decent amounts of chicken but the rest were pretty much the thick outer coating with little chicken. The inside is cutely decorated with an umbrella roof which I imagine is what Thailand is like. One thing I would say is that this place does have a hefty service fee but the food does make it worth it. read more

So disappointed. I've ordered from this restaurant in the past and it has been decent. But today I ordered their ThaI BBQ Chicken expecting to get what they have pictured on their website (which includes breast, wing, leg and thigh )and instead you get 2 legs and 2 thighs! Nothing else! Not worth the price. Talk about false advertisement. read more

Food was mediocre at best. Cost was high for quality and quantity. I was very disappointed- ordered door dash which had a much higher rating (my bad for not checking here first on Yelp) the basil stir fry was ok- zero spice and very small portion. The fried dumplings were ok came with sweet and sour sauce not the traditional sweet brown dipping sauce. The cream cheese wontons were nearly inedible (ate some of the cream cheese middles) as they were fried hard. Both of these were not worth the cost of nearly $9 each. I didn't bother eating the rice so I won't review that. My door dash driver was quick and I would say there was no delay in delivery.. so quality was what it was not to be blamed on the driver. I definitely wouldn't eat here again as there are many other Thai options to try. read more

Okay y'all, so let me spill the tea on this place right here. So the food was good, for sure! But the price, we paid $75 for two plates of food, fresh rolls ( came with two and weren't that great) and two beers. They included a tip with what we were already paying for.The service was really good, the server that served us was very attentive and kind. Inside, it was clean, colorful and there was a good amount of tables to sit at. The server Made sure we had everything we needed for our food and checked up on us to see if we needed anything. This place was very convenient since we stayed at the Westin right next to it, so it was walking distance. read more

To be completely honest, I don't really know Thai food and have stayed away from it because I don't know what I can or cannot eat being gluten free. Well, we needed to grab some dinner and this place was right across the street. It was excellent. The inside is cute and the food was great. There weren't a ton of gluten free options since ALOT of stuff was marinated in soy sauce or a sauce also containing soy sauce but the waiters and cook conferred and then recommended the pad Thai. It was great. I had it with beef and the beef was tender and tasty. read more

Pretty terrible. We love Thai for the flavorful vegan options that Thai restaurants almost universally offer. Vegan/ vegetarian options here, however, were extremely limited and those that were available left much to be desired. We ordered pineapple fried rice. They don't offer tofu as a protein so we got mixed veggies. Mixed veggies consisted primarily of extra slices of cucumber and enormous quartered tomatoes that I think must have been meant for salads but were thrown in to try and fill out the plate. Rice was littered with a few lonely chunks of pineapple (like four in the whole plate). Consequently, food was dry, flavorless, and also had little to offer in the way of nutrition with that spread. Kids (who typically LOVE Thai food) refused to finish. Mac at the money wasted on this meal. read more

I have ordered from here for YEARS and have dined in a few times in the past and always had a decent & pleasant experience. So I always have been loyal to this restaurant. HOWEVER, I came in tonight for dinner and the waitress was extremely unpleasant. She barely smiled, didn't even greet me, and her tone was very impatient with my order and with me in general. She just seemed annoyed to be working there. No pleasant customer service to anyone. After I finished my dinner I asked for a Thai tea to go with no creamer and she brought it out with creamer and I said oh sorry maybe I forgot to say with no creamer and she said 'I know but this is half and half' and I said sorry I can't do dairy at all, and she just gave me a look and took it back to give me what I initially asked for. And by the way, I have ordered Thai tea from here MANY times and it has always been delicious, but tonight the Thai tea tasted soooo bad and rancid that I had to throw it out. Please hire and/or train better servers with better customer service who want their patrons to enjoy their meal & time there, otherwise many customers won't come back. read more

Way too expensive they add gratuity whether you're a party of one or even taking the food out. The food is generally good and fresh but it's too expensive. You have to pay for parking and if you decide to eat in make sure you order and finish your meal with 30 minutes because the meter doesn't go over that. Other than that it's cool! I'd order again--- if someone else was paying lmao read more
