I got food to go and was surprised at the portions and great taste! Green curry was delicious and lots of veggies. Pad See Ew were some of the tastiest noodles I've had this side of Bangkok! Definitely would recommend this easy spot for take out! read more

I had been here before and the food was tasty and service was good but I stopped in yesterday with a friend of mine and right off the Bat, the waiter seemed distracted and was extremely rude. The food was very salty but we didn't want to make it a big deal. She forgot to bring out our Thai tea and when reminded she got annoyed. She was rude when we asked for a bigger to go box. We needed separate checks so we politely asked and she was rude. The cherry on top is when we signed the check and did not tip her because her service was terrible. And she chased us down and made us aware that we didn't tip her and that we needed to tip her before we left. The waitress stood there until we did. Will never be attending this place again, not sure why she was even hired because her attitude was not appreciated. read more

Service was great. I called in a to-go order and it was ready and waiting when I arrived. The staff were all very friendly. I wish the food was better however. It wasn't bad, but it did not leave an impression. I had the lunch special with red curry. The curry had good flavor but was incredibly thin and watery. I ended up dumping all of my rice into it to try and give it some texture. The pad Thai was better than the curry, but was a stuck together in one large clump. The edges were moist and good, but the inner clump was rather dry and lacked flavor. I allow that this may have been the "to-go" nature of my order. If the Thai cravings hit me hard while stuck at work, I may end up trying again, but I would not go out of my way. read more

Update--price keeps rising and quality and quantity stays the same. I'm not going to pay nearly $20 (plus tip) for street food that used to cost $10. read more

Lunch special I selected was chicken curry pad Thai with white rice. They have 5 pieces of chicken, their pad Thai was cold and hard stick not authentic. Salad was weird and had frost bites taste, not authentic Thai food place if you are seeking true Thai food. Additionally tried calling to order prior to this order receptionist said she was too busy to help with selection and to call back when she is not busy Very weird read more

The food here is great, I love the cashew chicken but the spice level can be inconsistent--I always get three stars, but sometimes it's dull and sometimes it's scorching. Pro tip: Skip the kyoza. They're great, but so not worth $8. We're talking your standard small dumplings, six total. I could not imagine spending more than $5 on them. I am sad, but you live and you learn. But keep up the good work! read more

Panwa Thai - Cashew chicken and a kyoza - Thai Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This food was amazing- even being delivery. Wow. I got the spring rolls, Sweet and sour chicken and yellow curry. I'm just amazed! So delicious. The spring rolls were phenomenal and the curry was great. I asked for spice level 1, and while I was sweaty while eating it (I'm a wuss) it was exceptional. I was so full I couldn't eat anything else but the sweet and sour looked great. I will definitely order from here again!! read more

Panwa Thai - Thai Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Went earlier today around 3ish. Asked for a to go order, realized it'd be more convenient to have the food at the restaurant instead. When I asked the server, she said they couldn't change it. It's literally scooping the food into a plate lol. Anyway, I asked if I could eat the food there. She said no, can't eat to go orders in the restaurant. Asked for a refund. She said they can't do refunds. Food is mid. Never wasting my money there again. I don't recommend. read more

Panwa Thai has quietly but surely climbed up on my list of favorite fast casual restaurants near Seattle University. Prices are cheap and portions are huge. Lunch here is a winner! My go-to is their basil fried rice. Everything else I've had is tasty, too. Panwa shines because of their outstanding customer service. Servers and hostesses are always kind, attentive, and most of all...FAST at what they do! As soon as I sat down, the waitress brought water, took my order, and within minutes my steaming plate of food was brought out. And as soon as I finished eating, the waitress offered to box my food up for my and promptly brought the check over. Panwa is a great place to eat if you need to grab a quick meal!!!! read more

Before getting a take out at Panwa today, I dined in once with my friend who lived near by. The pad thai at Panwa was really tasty. So, when I was in the area today, I thought I'd try another dish. Cashew Nut Chicken was what I decided on for a takeout after reading the reviews. And, honestly, it was pretty tasty, despite the portion being a bit on the smaller side. However, I would like the address the not-so-satisfactory service I received while waiting for the takeout. The waitress looked pissed the whole time while taking my order. After I received the takeout and decided to open it to check it out before I left. She hurried over to tell me not to open the plastic bag inside the restaurant. I am sorry but what? Why... I was hoping for an explanation but decided not to bother. So, when I finally returned to my car and open the container, I immediately understood the waitress's reaction to me trying to open the takeout: the to-go box was not fully sealed and thus leaked onto my coat. Hence, the 3 stars. Food was good, but I don't think I would be visiting any time soon based on the experience I had today. read more

Went there for lunch on a weekday as it five minutes walking from my workplace. I ordered the red-curry lunch combo which had soup, spring roll, salad, pad thai, red curry and white rice. Soup - average Spring roll - good Pad thai - Mehh , too sweet | i'd just call itsweet sticky noodles Red curry - average. The service was excellent and the reason why i want to go again to give their food another shot. The next time i go, I'll just order something from their regular menu rather that getting the lunch-special combo. read more

I've been to Panwa Thai twice - first time no issues, great food. Second time I called in and my order was misheard so I received food that I can't eat due to dietary restrictions. I asked if I could swap out the entree for the correct one and was told that I had a chance to review the order when I signed the receipt so there was nothing they could do for me. I asked to order and pay for a side of the non-meat option I had originally requested and was told they couldn't do that. I understand from a business perspective their rationale, but there is no reason to be rude about it. read more

We ordered the pineapple curry and pad see ew via Uber Eats. The food was pretty tasty and for 3 stars it had a good spice level. My issue is with the portion size. I looked at pictures of delivery on here before ordering and they basically give you half the amount of food with Uber Eats. Look at those square take out containers full of food and then compare my small rectangular container that was not even half full of noodle. I feel a bit cheated by how they do business with Uber Eats. The prices are the EXACT same as I would pay in the restaurant but I get less than half the food. What is wrong with this scenario? read more

Panwa Thai - Thai Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I would highly recommend this Thai place over other places in the city. My assessment is entirely based on how well the fried rice is made. Pam was Thai fried rice is the best in Seattle. Their noodles are fresh and everything is ready very quickly when you order! They haven't been open for dine-in in a while but still highly recommend to order for pick up! read more

Best Pad Thai I've had in Seattle. Been eating here like once a week for the past year. Love it

Just a caution to vegetarians: what the menu calls "Pad Thai Veggie" actually has [rather strong] fish sauce in it.

Cheapest thai in town, but it's not the best flavor. It's too sweet with not enough spices added. There are better places if you are willing to pay 2-5 dollars more per entrée. read more

Tried this place multiple times now. Consistent across the board. Excellent food. Good ambiance. Good service.

I came here for a late dinner on a weeknight with a friend and the place was almost dead, with a few customers but only 1 employee tending to the cashier & waiting the tables. Even though there weren't many people, the service was still good! I ordered the eggplant, pineapple curry, and the crab fried rice. Nothing that stood out of the ordinary, but it was definitely satisifying. I noticed that there were a fair amount of people who called in their orders in advance to pick them up to-go. The food was average/above average, like any typical thai joint, at a decent pricepoint ($9-11 per dish). It was nice to see that the server brought us 2 servings of rice instead of just 1 that would normally come in the meal. Overall it was a nice neighboorhood thai joint right by Seattle U and if I was wanting something quick to go and I was in the vicinity, I wouldn't mind coming back! read more

Pad Thai was rubbery and undercooked. When we tried to explain that we couldn't chew it, she argued with us instead of fixing it. So unprofessional. Didn't care for the spring rolls, but the Thai basil, and basil fried rice were good. read more

Wow! This was a surprise stop for us after we attended a session at Seattle University. We ordered Salmon Panang Curry, Green Guacamole curry and Thai Basil fried rice. All of them were 4 star spice levels and it was spicy as expected. It's easy on your wallet as well! read more

My experience with this restaurant was very poor. I ordered Pad See Ew on the phone. When I got the food at home, she misheard my order and gave me Pad Thai. I immediately called to see if they could fix the order. She responded said that there is nothing she can do. She could not remake the order for me, nor issue a refund. I asked to speak to the manager and she was the only one here. Do not recommend this place. read more

Everything was booked and busy after the Niners vs Seahawks game, but I was craving Thai food and found this restaurant on Yelp. It's over by Seattle University, and we were staying a 5 minute drive away. I ordered when we were warming up our car and once I arrived our food was ready for takeout! We got two Chicken Pad See Ews at level 4 spicy, and veggie spring rolls with plum sauce. To drink I had a Thai iced tea. I am craving it again now. The portions were sized well and everything was absolutely delicious. I would definitely order from here again when I am back in Seattle! read more

We were seated right away and didn't have to wait long before our order was being taken. We ordered the kyoza, sweet and sour pork, and crab fried rice. My favorite was the rice, and I also appreciate being able to adjust the spicy level from 1 to 5. Seemed like a great spot to study as well. Overall amazing food and experience!! read more

Since Lemon Grass closed, this location has quickly become my favorite "go to" place for work lunches. Their portions are good and the lunch combos hit the spot and sometimes even are enough to stretch out to two meals. The staff is always friendly and the wait time is quick. I am a fan of pad thai with my meals so I usually do not choose the curry combo meal, but the green curry is really delicious! read more

Panwa Thai - They do take out. - Thai Near Me - Seattle, Washington

FOOD/DRINK: 4/5 The food is really good. I have tried several things on the menu and haven't been really disappointed. For the most part, the portioning is good. The only thing that gets me is that the portioning for the calamari appetizer is very small for $7.95. The quality of the food is good though. I am able to change up my order and try new things because I trust that it'll be delicious. SERVICE: 3/5 I often feel quite rushed whenever I sit down to eat here no matter if it is busy or not in the dining area. However, whenever I pick up my food to-go, the employees are very helpful and very pleasant. LOCATION: 5/5 AMBIANCE: 4/5 I like the ambiance of this place. It is wheelchair accessible as well, which is a plus in my books. The lighting is great, it is spacious and modern, and the furniture just works. I always feel so comfortable here. PRICE: 3/5 It is a bit on the steeper side, but is is pretty affordable compared to other restaurants on 12th Avenue in Capitol Hill. If you go 10 minutes south on foot, you could get Fresh Salad Rolls (usually $6.95 for three rolls here) for $1.25 a pop in Little Saigon. The Lunch Specials are very reasonably priced, but the dinner menu is a little steeper compared to the portions you get. I frequent this place often and would recommend. It is very convenient to pop in and out of here especially if you live in Capitol Hill. read more

Food used to be very tasty but I noticed some of the carrots came in pieces clumped together and noodles in my pad see ew were still white (not mixed all the way) without flavor to it. The spice were also not mixed so I'd get pieces without any spice and bites that were all spoonfuls of chili powder. I'm updating also due to the poor customer service. Coming here often i know the portions that's normally given. They removed the lunch menu so you will be getting the same amount of food for ~$3 more. I said I thought the portions were small and she said "if u think it's small u don't come back. It's ok, you're not the only one here." They can't take constructive criticism well here and instead they respond rudely and walk away from you after paying without saying "thank you" or "bye" . Maybe the increase in prices is due to COVID but they failed to explain this or even give a reason for this change. read more

My favorite Thai place in Seattle. I've literally ordered takeout from this place 100+ times. Pad Kee Mao w/beef is my regular hitter but beef PadThai (yes, beef) can get it too. Kee Mao with tofu also slapsss read more

When you first walk in you notice that it is decorated in an industrial theme. We got there pretty late at night so there was hardly anyone there. We ordered: -Tom Kha soup. It comes in a big bowl. It was pretty tasty my only complaint would be that they don't have a smaller portion size. -Basil Fried rice. I would say this was good not the best I've ever had but still good nonetheless. I would've preferred more basil leaves. -Drunken Noodles. (I can't remember the Thai name for this dish) It tasted pretty good. I was surprised that it had much more chicken than it did noodles. Usually when I order this dish in other restaurants it's mostly noodles with a few pieces of chicken on top. -Peanut Sauce. Well actually, I tried to order the chicken satay but they didn't have any. I was craving peanut sauce so I just ordered the peanut sauce. By the way, it was really good. I was a little irked that she charged me two dollars for it though. The prices here are very reasonable and the food was tasty. I will return when I am back in the Seattle area. read more

I normally get a 2 unless I'm feeling risky, then I get a 3 and a side of tums. My favorite is their yellow curry with chicken. Their lunch specials are great too, includes curry and pad Thai. read more

Jane from Panwa is my gurl. She likes to guess what I'm going to order. I usually get one of the following: 1. The BEST, I repeat, the BEST, pad kee mao I have ever had. The perfect mix of basil in their sauce. I don't know how they do it so good. 2. Red curry. I have yet to have one like it. So creamy. So flavorful. So good. 3. Pad Thai. I'm a sauce gal so I like that their pad Thai has a lot of sauce. Always a good option 4. Fresh salad rolls, for when I feel like being healthy. I will say sometimes their peanut sauce is inconsistent with thickness, but even on the runnier days it tastes damn good. There's only 1 waitress at a given time but they work hard to make everyone happy and they do it with a smile every time. They have awesome lunch combos and deals. Nothing is more than like $9, which says a lot for Cap Hill. MY FAVORITE THAI RESTAURANT HANDS DOWN read more

Panwa Thai - Saucy pad Thai - Thai Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Fantastic Thai food. I was very excited to see a Thai food place come in near SU but I was apprehensive at first. Restaurants on this side of 12th often struggle if they're mediocre as most of their customers disappear in the summer. Luckily Panwa Thai will be able to attract people from all over Cap Hill with their delicious food. My go to for Thai is always Chicken Panang Curry. While it's difficult to say if it's the best Panang Curry I've had it's close enough for me to easily say I'll be a regular customer. They offer to-go and eat in services and the prices were similar to other Thai places in the area. I was offered a complimentary soup as well as a free spring roll with my order, all were tasty. The atmosphere inside is clean (it's a new place) but still a bit under construction. Anyway, go here. It's dope. read more

This is a brand new Thai restaurant with amazing tasty food. We ordered the Panang curry and the spicy Eggplant. The curry had the right tanginess of galangal and kaffir lime leaf balanced with the right amount of creamy coconut milk sweetness. The eggplant was very well cooked and literally melted in our mouth We finished off the meal with the mango sticky rice. Yum! Would definitely go back here. read more

Always super fresh and so delicious! I've ordered delivery about 6-7 times from Panwa Thai and I've never been disappointed! I tend to stick with the chicken pad Thai and fresh spring rolls. The spring rolls are always hot, crispy and fresh when they get to me and they're by far my favorite. Definitely recommend! read more

Delicious and quick and great service. Give this place a try! I had drunken noodle with chicken and it was great. Also, fresh rolls and some Pad Se Ew with fried tofu. Legit. I had 4 spice and hoooweeee it is pretty toasty! COVID-19 has hammered restaurants by U of Seattle. Give these folks a chance and help keep them open! read more

Food: 2 / 5 Ordered the Pad See Ew with Beef during lunch. The meal first came with a small bowl of chicken-flavored soup. The main dish itself came with the pad see ew, plus a spring roll and a scoop of white rice. The overall flavor of the pad see ew was pretty light, and not overpowering like some restaurants tend to make it. Unfortunately, the beef was next to inedible - dry and chewy. I ate maybe 2 pieces of beef before deciding I'd rather not break my jaws. The extra spring roll was equally uninspiring - crunchy, but tasted store-bought. Lastly, the rice on the plate seemed odd to be included in a noodle dish, but it tasted fine for being white rice... Service: 5 / 5 The waitress who served me was exceptional. Super friendly, and attentive but not overbearing. read more

Love, love, love this place. My husband discovered this restaurant when delivering for Door Dash. We always get the phad see ew. The crispy tofu is amazing! He usually gets prawns and crispy tofu with extra broccoli. I always get beef and crispy tofu with extra broccoli. The flavor is amazing. It never disappoints. Service is very friendly and fast!

I called in an issue with my order and when the owner called me back she just yelled at me and told me I was wrong. I hate having to call in issues, but with my allergies I have to be super careful.

Disappointed with the serving I got last night. The proportions were way off. Ordered the basil chicken and seemed to have gotten stir fried veggies with literally no basil and hardly any chicken. The Kyoza were tasty but not not made in house & tasted previously frozen. Probably won't be going back unless other people want to. read more
