Iron Pan Thai Kitchen - Pad See Ew with shrimp and extra veggies. Sooooo good! - Thai Near Me - Poway, California

One of my favorite Thai places in SD, and definitely my favorite in poway! I always get the drunken noodles and have never been disappointed. Just be careful with the spice, they tend to be on the hot side of spicy range. Recently tried the Thai coffee and it was pretty good, not the typical coffee taste I'm used to but had a nice flavor and looked super pretty. read more

Iron Pan Thai Kitchen - Thai Near Me - Poway, California

I ordered the Pad Thai with Shrimp. It had good flavor and extremely sweet. There wasn't any place Mates on the table, as my dish cooled my noodles became sticky and my place became a lazy Susan. Service was very nice. I normally eat at Bua Thai, wanted to give this place a try. It's average, I won't be visiting again. I will eat at my regular spot. read more

Cool little Thai place in Poway. Ace the owner and Lana where great. Service is excellent. Had the crab fried rice and it was delicious. Thank you Thai Kitchen. This was my first time and I will be back to try more of our great food. Thanks again. read more

This place was recommended to me from a good friend. "I eat there all the time!" So I trusted her suggestion. Made a phone order for chicken pad thai to bring home. The meal was a little bland, the chicken chewy, and the noodles sticky. I can account the noodles getting sticky from the 10 min drive home - but that doesn't explain the lackluster flavor. I won't rule this place out yet. Will probably try dining in so the food is fresh when I eat it. I still trust my friend's recommendation eating here, so I'll give it another shot. read more

Great food. Great taste. Small hidden gem. I would recommend everyone to go here. We ordered Tom yum soup, Thai fried rice and red curry. All of them tasted really good. read more

Our favorite Thai place in Poway!! We LOVE their green curry! So yummy! We also love getting their drunken noodles as well as their pad Thai! The service is great and we usually try to sit on their patio outside. It's a small restaurant, but perfect if you want to sit outside or even take it to-go! read more

I was excited to try this new local restaurant. I called to place a pick up order. Someone picked up the phone but was immediately disconnected. So I tried again.. maybe it was an accident? After the third attempt an employee answered the phone. I asked to place an order and informed him that I just tried calling but was hung up on. He stated that they are really "BUSY". Really?? This is how you treat a customer by hanging up on them with no apology?? No thanks. I'll take my business elsewhere. If I could give zero stars, I would. Worst first impression and customer service. read more

The 2.5 star rating is the average of dine in (4) and take out orders (1). The food came out perfect whenever we eat in the restaurant. Although the service has never been the friendly kind it does not take away from the quality meal and nice presentation. The take out order was a horrible story on the other hand. The pad thai noodle was a saggy mess inside the white box after 15 min drive home. Noddles were stuck together and became so soft, wet, and nasty it is unrecognizable as noodles. The papaya salad was supposed to be a 6 in spice level but I got a 9.5 out of 10. Every single piece of papaya was coated with chilli flakes. It literally caused me hearburn and horrible stomachache for the rest of the evening despite I thrown the whole thing out after 3 bites. I suspect my order was the last of the day for them so they didn't bother to be accurate - very disappointing. My take out dinner was a mess and I had to throw them out because neither dish was cooked and packed correctly. read more

Amazing...Drunken Chicken Noodle and Panang Curry!! I can't forget about the Mango Sticky Rice...delicious! Service was outstanding and Lala was so friendly. I will be coming back here soon! read more

Iron Pan Thai Kitchen - Drunken Chicken Noodles - Thai Near Me - Poway, California

Highlights: Quick and great service Really good Thai coffee Nice small restaurant feeling I came across this place for a quick break in between work in Poway. The front cashier was very friendly and helped me right away. I ordered a thai coffee and a green curry to go. I asked for extra vegetables instead of rice (I've been trying to cut down on carbs). Usually I get complaints when I ask for a rice substitute so it was very nice customer service. They were also very fast in preparing the food so I could take it to go! For the green curry, it was more of a watery consistency. Thai curries are normally more rich and sweet. It had a good amount of flavor and kick from the spicyness level that you can customize but I found it mediocre. I would also opt out of the eggplant next time; it took over a lot of the curry but that's personal preference. That said, I will come back and hopefully try a different entree in the future! read more

This is our favorite neighborhood restaurant - the food is always great and the staff are extremely attentive and always make us feel welcome. Highly recommend! read more

Iron Pan Thai Kitchen - Psi Thai and orange chicken! Yummy - Thai Near Me - Poway, California

So sad. All these positive reviews about how this is a great new Thai place in Poway, P & V was way better. I just tried it today and was hoping it was different name, same people, but no, it is totally different. I ordered my usual, pad thai with spring rolls. The spring rolls were okay, but the pad thai was fast food quality. The noodles were way over cooked and soft. If you're looking for good pad thai, this is not the place. I recommend going to the place off pomorado and scripps poway parkway. Very disappointed with the pad thai, I almost wanted to return my food. read more

Somewhere between 3-4 stars. Service was very good and efficient for lunch. Lunch portions were adequately sized and well priced. Restaurant was small pleasant environment. Overall I felt the food was good, but not I was not overly impressed with the Pad Thai. I'm willing to give another dish a try, giving them the benefit of the doubt with 4 stars. read more

Spicy Fried Rice, Pad Thai, Panang Curry, Thai Basil--all delicious! Sweet Mango Sticky Rice to top it off! Yummmmmmmmmmmmmm! read more

So glad we have a great tasting Thai place in Poway. (Normally we would drive to Mira Mesa) We ordered Panang Curry with Chicken and extra veggies, Pad Thai with shrimp, and some appetizers. Kids loved the Pad Thai. The owner is very friendly, good service. read more

My family and I love this place!! I personally think that the seafood pad Thai is the best, but my brothers love the Panang curry. If you're looking for a great Thai restaurant with a decent amount of food for the price, this is the place for you! read more

I ordered the Thai fried rice, and was shocked to see it looking so bland and plain. The tofu was ok, but when I noticed that there were no tomatoes in it like the menu stated, the waiter took it back in and they seemed to have added... wait for it... 2 pieces of tomato. Needless to say I was unimpressed with the ingredient to rice ratio and the taste was ok. Nice little seating area, very quiet and private atmosphere if you want something more intimate. Just make sure to pay attention to the menu and see what is actually included in the dish. read more

This is my favorite Thai place. The food is always fresh-made and excellent. I have tried several Thai restaurants in the area and Iron Pan has the best Panang Curry. Small family-owned restaurant open for take-out. Please give them a try. read more

Service is much better now that it's under new ownership. Quick to bring out your food, I'd even called ahead to put my order in but wanted to dine here. Food tastes good, could've had my pad Thai a bit spicier, wasn't sure of the spice level under the new ownership, definitely ordering spicier next time. Coming back! read more

Iron Pan Thai Kitchen - Chicken Pad Thai and Veggie Tom yum lunch special. - Thai Near Me - Poway, California

Drove so far and found this place! came with friends and we were fastly accommodated even if we had like 10 peoole read more

I ordered lunch from Iron Pan today. I have to say I was a little leery about ordering here since we had tried it previously when it was a Thai restaurant under a different name and were very disappointed. I am happy to say that I LOVED it! Ordering by phone was a breeze, and my food was ready and waiting for me when I got there. Everyone was super friendly and helpful. I ordered the cashew nut with chicken (personal favorite) spicy #6, and an order of fresh rolls. The chicken was perfect not too chewy, the spice was spot on, and the rice was sticky but not overdone. The fresh rolls with the peanut dipping sauce were so good! I just wish I had more of that peanut sauce, I want to put it on everything! So good! I have a new #1 Thai place in town! Yay! read more

I had a bad experience... i ordered pad thai and calamari to go but when i got home the calamari was just 5 pieces and the pad thai was a very small serving.. i mean the pad thai is good but the serving size for a takeout is not even good for 1... i should've trusted my instincts and bought panda express instead.... this is a bad experience and would definitely not recommend this place to any of my friends read more

Worst thai food I ever had..never going back there again. The curry wasn't tasty at all and there is so little selection of beer and wine. The price is high for this kind oof quality. read more

We got the sampler, red curry, sol fish, and mango rice. Afterwards, i asked if they had any wheelchairs. This is amazing thai food! Easy 5 stars. Service is great too. read more

4.5 star Thai rating has my attention for sure! We ordered the drunken noodles and massaman curry to go. The drunken noodles were definitely some of the best that I can remember and we have had a lot of Thai around San Diego. We ate the curry the next day and I really recommend it also. The food would be even better I am sure right at the restaurant but I had to take it home to my wife. There is a ton of good food around in Poway but Iron Pan should be very high on your priority list! A five star review for me is one that has great food, price, service and that you would want to go to again. There are so many good food options in San Diego that there really isn't any time to eat bad food. There is also a $1 off check in offer that I actually forgot to use. Don't make the same mistake as me. read more

I had the pad Thai with shrimp...spice -#6. It was awesome. Not sure if I ordered lunch special b/c usually they give you salad and soup. It was a great place to hang out. read more

Love everything about this place. Been going here almost weekly for the last year and a half. So good. Friendly staff. Food is excellent.

Very flavorful, tasty good. We were so pleased to find a great restaurant in the area!

I had the seared salmon in curry sauce with heat at #4 when asked for 1 to 10. I tossed the brown rice in and next thing my date started stealing it. It's quite good. Service was good inside. Limited seating. read more

Forgot an item we ordered after confirming 2-3x. Pad Thai lacked flavor and was sticky (it was a block of noodles). Detailed explanation requested by the restaurant: We called in an order (on March 25th around 8pm) for TWO orders of chicken pad thai, beef panang curry, and a beef salad. Order was repeated for confirmation. We arrived at the restaurant about 15 minutes after and they were packing up our items and confirmed that there were TWO pad thais. We checked the order in the car just to be sure and there was a pad Thai missing. Returned to the restaurant, informed them of the missing entree and to my surprise they didn't even charge me for the second pad thai so my card was ran again. We waited another 10-15 minutes (totally understandable for a Saturday night) and by the time we got home one of our entrees was a solid block of noodles. read more

Ordered a takeout meal for the first visit. Had green curry with pork. When I got home and started eating the food was still piping hot and delicious. I will definitely be going back read more

Service was slow. Tried the sampler which was ok. But my entrée the Chefs Special Orange chicken was a disaster. It had a strong Fish oil odor and tasted horrible, we couldn't eat it. Will not be returning. read more

The portions here are perfect. I love the lunch specials since they come with a salad, rice, entree, and a spring roll. It's always nice to have a little variety with your lunch specials. I enjoy coming to this place, it has a good ambiance especially when you want to eat good food on your lunch break. They also have a small outside patio where you can sit and enjoy your lunch. Perfect when it's gorgeous outside. I would recommend the Panang Curry, which is great! Flavorful and tastes amazing. Another tasty dish would be their larb, which is perfectly seasoned. You can even customize the spice level for your entrees from 1-10. The spice level here I would say is a lot spicier compare to other Thai places and this is coming from someone who has an insane tolerance with spice. read more

Decided to come here for a nice dinner out with my hubby. The restaurant itself is very small but quaint. The service was slow and when we got our menus we were surprised that they did not provide any duck! The alternative for duck was "mock duck." Gross. The pad Thai was very greasy but tasted fine and our spring rolls were good. I love pickled cucumbers, but I would never recommend their's. It's very slimy and it comes in a tiny bowl that constitutes about a mouthful. I don't think we will be returning, since we tried Bua Thai in Poway. read more
