Penn's Thai House is such a charming little hole-in-the-wall gem! The restaurant is small and cozy, with adorable decor that gives it so much character. The service was friendly and welcoming from the moment we arrived. We ordered the Chicken Pad Thai and Chicken Fried Rice. My friend had a few preferences for the fried rice; no tomato or onion and a substitution for bean sprouts and the staff made it so easy to accommodate the request. I really appreciated how flexible and accommodating they were without making it feel like a hassle. The flavors in both dishes were fantastic, and everything was fresh and delicious. Our server also recommended the Garlic Chicken and mentioned that it's one of their popular dishes. After hearing that, I'll definitely be coming back to try it! A cute local spot with great food, friendly service, and genuinely accommodating staff. Definitely a little gem worth checking out! read more

I've heard about this mom and pop shop on my IG and some friends. I came during the lunch hour and Friday to try out their lunch special. There wasn't that many people there so we were seated and served pretty quickly! The resturant was quite small but it felt homey. I ordered 3 dishes and all were from the lunch special menu which came out to be about $10.95 each. All of them came with an egg drop soup, small salad, and veggie egg roll. The soup was pretty flavorful but a little too thick sometimes I felt like it was the texture of mucus lol. The salad had a really good dressing similar to honey mustard. However I wasn't a fan of the veggie eggroll. Pad Thai 9/10: this was prob the best dish that was in the lunch special menu. Size wise and taste wise it was great! Super flavorful and it came with more than the other lunch specials. Pepper beef 5/10: the flavor was really good! However I counted and there was only 5 pieces of meat and the rest was bell pepper and onions. This dish def would not get anyone full. Basil beef Kaprow 7/10 this dish was a bit too salty but the portion was okay. You definely need the rice to balance out the saltiness. Overall it's great to support this mom and pop shop and their food is not bad. However just some kinks here and there can be fixed with maybe less salt and bigger portions. read more

Casual, clean, no frills location with close and free parking. Good portions, in fact hubs was delighted with the chicken he received, and we had the spice rack to season our dishes to our liking. Vegan and vegetarian options. No liquor available, just coffee, tea, water and I assume soda. Pleasant staff and good service. A little pricey, but we were glad to support a local business tonight. read more

Many years ago when my father was still living, he took my oldest brother and I who were visiting from San Diego to his favorite Thai place in Henderson. We had an epic meal, as all of us love Thai food. It has been a favorite memory of ours, especially after he passed. Today, while visiting in LV we decided to try to find it again, how hard could it be right....truly a needle in a haystack since there were more than 20 possibilities near his old house. I got out my trusted YELP, and started searching through all the locations, looking for photos of the outside as that was all we had to jog our memories. Finally we agreed on the one possibility and headed over. Lo and behold we had found the location and headed in to enjoy the moment, memories and food!!! The inside had been remodeled very nicely. We were greeted immediately and seated. The menu has lots of great options, and many of them are specialty items I always look for. We started out with beef jerky, papaya salad and sticky rice, and a side order of the stuffed chicken wings. Super yummy!!! Next we ordered the Basil ka prow pork and the Nom Kau Tod...hope I got those right. Both were delicious, especially the last dish....great presentation and so much flavor. Once again, another amazing meal and a happy memory created with my big bro, honoring our father at his favorite Thai joint. These are my favorite foodie moments...good food and good company. Thanks Yelp for saving the day. Until next time Penn's!!! read more

This restaurant was recommended by my nail tech. Of course we chatted about all kinds of stuff in the 1.5hrs with her and food is always on the list of topics. She said it's nearby and if you like Thai food, it's a must stop. I must say that I drive by it all the time and as it's in an industrialize area, I never stopped. Came for dinner with my daughter. Parking was not bad when I arrived, 20mins later when my daughter arrived, she couldn't get a closer parking space. Looks like this plaza is jumping at night. The door into the restaurant is like an old house front door that's been painted over several times. The windows were mirrored windows so you can't see in but they can see you from the inside. Definitely a neighborhood mom/pop type of restaurant with lots of regular. Not a fancy spot at all but completely welcoming. Not sure how many ppl were working but the gentleman who we saw did it all in the front of the restaurant - greeted ppl, sat ppl, took orders, delivered the orders and helped those who wanted to order for take home. He's so nice and always checked up on us. Sweet man. We had a soup order to share, 2 entrees and a Thai tea. Portions are pretty big for the entrees that we ended taking half home. Penang curry was sooo good. Perfect was the rice. Pad Thai was also good and not dry at all. Soup was on point. Neighborhood Thai restaurant with weekdays lunch special too, I'll definitely come back and support. Best is that I don't have to drive far to have food Thai food. read more

First time back since they reopened after a remodel...had a bowl of wonton soup which was enough to share, good broth and not too salty, also had some chicken curry and ordered a side of steamed vegetables, also had an order of pad thai. We ordered all as a 5 on the spice level but were actually surprised at how spicy the pad thai was for a 5 but it still was very good. read more

If you're looking for a good homemade flavor Thai Food, this is the place. There is not a dish I have not liked from this little cozy place!

Remodeled and still a great Thai restaurant. My Favorite is the Khing Sod. Ginger & Vegetables with Chicken.

Place is good but man oh man the portions got smaller and prices went up. It cost me 38 bucks for pad see ew and a papaya salad Two items ----- two items ! You can't tell me it's because of the economy to charge that much At most it should be less than 25 bucks. read more

First the good. . There is a very nice friendly man who hustles. He does everything and really moves. I mean he literally runs. He puts his heart and soul into it. The food is hot. They put a burning thing on the bottom of the soup. Also the chicken satay arrived hot and so did the curry. The wait was long. There was only one man and I'm sure he was probably helping in the back too. Unless he was cooking and serving too? Idk. He was the best ever though. Best attitude I have ever seen. Works hard. The chicken satay $14.95 was hot and the chicken itself was ok. The satay sauce was sickeningly sweet. Tasted like high fructose corn syrup. Disappointed because I was craving a rich peanut buttery flavor. Or a lot of chicken. The Tom Kha flavor was perfect. $20. Decent size bowl too. It should be for $20. Bamboo shoot pieces were nice and big. The red chicken curry was also good. Sweeter than I'd like but could eat. I do love some sweetness but I don't want it tasting like sweet pancake syrup was poured in. I love the taste of the food without it. Kind of a non de script hole in the wall location but definitely not hole in the wall prices. That nice man was the best thing about this restaurant. The food and value are not worth it. I would come back just to support a business with that man though. He needs help. I wish they could hire help for him. read more

The food here is fantastic deserving no fewer than 5 stars. The massaman curry was absolutely delicious -- the spices, though mild, were perfectly balanced with the dish's savory flavors -- very possibly the best massaman curry we've ever had. The pad-see-ew was also excellent; again, we agreed, the best we've ever had. We managed to completely polish off our plates which was no easy feat given the healthy portions -- no shrinkflation here. It was well worth the trip to Penn's Thai -- we'll certainly be back! read more

Best place to get Thai in Henderson. It looks like a crappy place in a strip mall but it's better than it looks. Penn's Thai House is known for having shit that's incredibly spicy. A bad thing if it's already hot outside. Thankfully they were good with getting the water. A pretty nondescript looking place in a crummy strip mall off Sunset in some industrial area. It's the kind of place that looks like only locals know of. This was a great find though. Okay prices. We got a few things that were vegan. It's about $12 for an entree. Pretty okay for the big portions. I got the Cashew Nut. This is a choice of protein with carrots, onions, and special chili paste. Hot stuff and that wasn't even adding any spice to it. The vegetarian choice is tofu. For sure it's better than it looks. It's a small place with a big menu. There's plenty to get for vegans and vegetarians. read more

Penn's Thai House - Cashew Nut - Thai Near Me - Henderson, Nevada

Completely confused by the excellent reviews for this restaurant. Located in a run down strip mall, I didnt let that stop me as I have gone to hidden gems in non-descript strip malls and totally enjoyed my meal. This place was a huge let down. Upon opening the door, I was welcomed by a funny smell, cracked wall, and a filthy aquarium. The upside was the friendly owner who showed us to our seat and gave us a menu. Still being optimistic, I figured the negatives would be more than offset by the awesome food. We ordered, Thai iced coffee, hot tea. moo krob pri khing and the green curry lunch special. Thai iced coffee - bit weak and too sweet. Moo Krob pri khing - nicely spicy and the green beans were fresh and crunchy. The pork belly. which was supposed to be crispy tasted like rewarmed pork with no crunch. Green curry lunch special - was bland and the egg drop soup a mismatch. not special at all. I give it a 1 star for the friendly and attentive gentleman who served us who was the only upside in this disappointing experience. read more

I was sad for a second when I saw they were closed (I thought it was for good) but see that it was just a renovation and they're now open again! It's a great place if you're wanting Thai food that's convenient and in a family setting. Their Pad Thai and Thai tea is great. Prices have gone up a bit since reopening but still a convenient spot. read more

I love Penn's! The restaurant itself isn't very impressive but we order takeout and the food is consistently excellent, generous portions, plus, the servers are wonderful.

We've never tried anything we didn't like. read more

Mood- Lil Celebration You know those moments that you take for yourself? The ones where you go outside of your comfort zone? The ones where you don't listen to that voice in your head that tells you NOT too? Well I moved past all that and did something that was needed. I took that leap despite the fear. And because of my efforts it was time for a Lil Celebration. And y'all know me by now, I celebrate over food. Upon entering was quickly greeted and ushered to sit wherever I chose. Menus were given and drink order was taken. Opted for the Cashew Nut Chicken, Pork Chow Mein, Pork Fried Rice, and of course a Thai Tea. Can I say why did I need a Celebration to come in here? 100%. This place was on point with the dishes I chose. Everything was very well prepared. Interior has several booths and a long family style table in the middle. Music was playing in the background. Everything was very clean. Would most def recommend- pricing for the portions and quality was reasonable. The customer service was beyond hospitable and courteous. I really should have came in here a long time ago. It is a true hidden gem. Location is Sunset/ Gibson - ample parking read more

I used to come here often, but lately I've been going to another Thai restaurant on Stephanie and 215 because the taste, portions, prices, and service are consistently better. I was willing to pay more here since it's close to my home, but the server's sarcastic attitude has become hard to overlook. I've brushed off his inappropriate comments for a long time, but my last visit was the point where I decided to go elsewhere. read more

11/3/25: they've re-opened! Nice, clean, newly renovated. Ed, the friendly server is back. And the food is still very good!

I've been going to Penn's Thai House for about 26 years. It was always a true hole-in-the-wall, but the food was consistently delicious and the prices were fair, which is why I kept coming back for decades. After the remodel, the place looks much nicer--clean and comfortable, but still not fancy--which I actually appreciate. Unfortunately, the menu prices have gone way up, the portions are noticeably smaller, and the food just isn't as good as it used to be. While it was okay overall, it lacked the quality that originally made this place special. The Pad Thai was especially disappointing--the noodles were overcooked and mushy. It's hard to justify the cost now compared to what it once offered. I really hope they can find a better balance, because this has been a longtime favorite and I'd love to see it return to what made it great. read more

This is a concealed gem! The service and food are fantastic. the ambiance is quint!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

went today and the food was so delicious, ordered the pad see ew and the spicy fried rice and let me say it had a kick at level 6! which i loved. the thai tea was so creamy and strong and the service was great they were very catering. needless to say i think i found my thai spot read more

Friendly service and delicious food. It was a perfect night for soup I ordered Tom Yum soup. We will go back.

I've driven by this place so many times and knew it had to be good because it has been open for so long. I finally stopped in today to get takeout. Service was great. I was greeted immediately, questions were answered, and he made sure I had everything I needed before I left. The food was delicious. The curry is flavorful and just the right amount of spice for me. I ordered 6/10 on spices. The papaya salad is exactly what I love!! Crunchy and spicy and maybe a little fishy, but in a good way. I ordered a 7/10 spice and it was perfect. The satay sauce (and there was a lot) was also delicious. There was a yummy little cucumber/onion salad that came with it as well. As for ambiance, it's a hole in the wall at a strip mall in an industrial-ish part of town. It's like many small town diners, taco shops, etc. I wouldn't have a birthday party there, but it's perfect for lunch or dinner with a friend. Plus, you don't get service like I had very often now-a-days. read more

I stopped here for takeout after a hike. The spring rolls had a wonderful crisp but not the best flavor. The flavor was just okay. The chicken satay was tasty with a nice peanut sauce.

Great for to-go orders/take out. Small restaurant in a strip mall, but the food is amazing, flavorful, and in decent proportions. I ordered a beef salad, where the beef was VERY tender and juicy, the lettuce was crisp and fresh and it was delightfully spicy (level 7) Highly recommend, and easily can be a go-to for quick and delicious Thai near my home.

This is our 2nd visit to Penn's thai house and food was still amazing! We ordered the shrimp pad thai, their special garlic crispy duck, and crab fried rice and all were excellent! The garlic crispy duck was my favorite as it was unexpectedly delicious. We thought it was like fried chicken type menu but it was actually like orange chicken type of dish! The sauce was soo good! Sweet, hot, and crispy! Must try! The crab fried rice was also amazing as they make it was real crab meats and a large portion! Lastly, the shrimp pad thai was also delicious and savory! The ambiance is very chill and the service was quick! Friendly staff and they helped us with any questions we had. Definitely will be back for more. read more

I've been coming to this little hole in the wall Thai place for years. I have always said this place does not get the attention it deserves! The food here is sooooooo good. Their vegetable Panag is to die for. I have been an addict of this dish for years. Lol. I've tried many things on the menu and have never been disappointment. The restaurant in itself is not the nicest but the service is great and the workers are so nice and attentive! I usually order carry out but the few times I've ate in house, it's either empty or really packed. Never had any issues with parking. Everything is reasonable priced. I always recommend this place to my friends and family :) read more
