    Horrible Pad Thai

    Although there are many 4 and 5 stars for this restaurant, I thoroughly disagree with them. Overall, this place produced some of the more white washed, bland, and overall disappointing Thai food in the area. My girlfriend and I ordered Pad Thai (Spice 3), Lemongrass Pork Slices (Spice 4), and Steamed Pork Dumplings. All of which had issues. The bigger issue at play here is this cost us almost $50 which is an egregious amount of money for the quality. Let's start with the Steamed Pork Dumplings. They tasted frozen, and overall had a weird texture. Overall, these weren't the worst in the order but they definitely left alot to be desired. The filling was alright but overall they were very dough-ey and lacked texture. 4/10 The Lemongrass Pork was three slices of pork. We could only taste sugar in the marinade, with almost nothing else. They were also cooked VERY well leaving most bites tough. The description of the item said it would be served with braised onions, none were found. Lastly, I paid an extra $2 to add steamed vegetables which were all bland and felt like they were from a freezer bag. 2/10 The worst of it all was the Pad Thai. To even think the chef tasted this and let it get out of the kitchen is insane. It had no flavor. Let me repeat, it tasted like nothing. The best I could compare to is wet shoes. The noodles were just oily and bland. Further, the "lime" that was served was brown. It was an absolute disgrace to Pad Thai, and in general, Thai noodle dishes. Overall, this was EAISILY the worst Thai food I've ever had in the Lafayette / Louiseville area. I recommend going to Busaba in Louiseville for real food and flavor.

    Bangkok duck

    If you're looking for authentic Thai cuisine in Lafayette, Panang is it!! We got the Bangkok duck and beef with green curry sauce. They were delicious! We will be trying more dishes on their menu. Take out was fast and easy. Our dishes were ready in 20 min. Portion is generous. Price is reasonable. If you get the white rice it comes with the dishes, a little more for the brown rice. Their food is as authentic as some of the Thai restaurants in NYC.

    This place is great! Love the flavors and friendliness of the staff. Definitely a top place to eat in Lafayette and my go to Thai place. They really excel at the options, with a ton of authentic dishes and real flavor. I love the Summer Rolls, Pad Thai with tofu, and most of all, the Honeydew Boba tea. You can't go wrong with those! They have a ton of boba flavors, so you can try a bit of everything! The peanut sauce is great too, not spicy and sweet instead. Vegetables are fresh and tasty too.

    "Shrimp" in black bean sauce with

    I ordered shrimp with black bean sauce with two orders of extra shrimp. What I received were barely any shrimp and combined with beef. The shrimp was stale and the spinach didn't seem washed. The sauce was bland with barely any black bean flavor. I wouldn't be surprised if I have food poisoning. I will never be ordering from here again. Tonight was one of the worst food ordering experiences of my life.

    From another visit... Thai sweet basil with chicken. Super flavorful!!

    Long overdue review - our visit was pre-pandemic, and I'm just now getting around to finishing this. Oops... Nonetheless, this place has been on my list of bookmarked restaurants for friggin' ever. It just so happens that we were feeling hungry right at the time we drove by. How about that. Lafayette is a pretty quaint little place, and has a really cool, historic downtown. Panang Thai is in a small-ish little strip mall near the heart of downtown, and is pretty unassuming at first glance. You may end up driving right by at first if you're not keeping an eye our for it. The parking situation hasn't been an issue for us so far, but it's kind of tight, so be wary of the time you decide to drop in. I can only assume that with all the other businesses around, it may become somewhat tricky to find a spot once things start getting busy. Like many other restaurants of this size, the dining area is pretty open and full of two- to four-top tables. The cashier is smack dab in the middle of the back, and the kitchen is hidden behind a wall. The walls are plastered with blown up images of some of their more popular dishes, and a decent size fish tank adorns the sitting area for patrons' viewing pleasure lol. Each time I've been in, there are typically between one and three other lone diners or couples speckling the restaurant, so we have always been immediately greeted and led to a table and left with waters and menus. It never takes us too long to decide on what to order - and let me just say that I'd like to visit more so that I can try a bunch of different things on the menu - and our food is always brought out quickly. The lunch size portions are a good size, and perfect for those that may be a bit on the hungry side. I don't normally have it in me to finish my entire meal, but it seems to always be the perfect amount for my BF. Service is fast, the price point is absolutely reasonable for what you get, the atmosphere is light and pretty open, and staff have always been friendly. This is a great place to grab a quick bite for lunch, and I can honestly say that I have never had anything less than an awesome experience. Next on the list is to stop by for dinner! From the looks of it, they've got a pretty respectable alcohol selection, which I can't say I'd be opposed to trying lol!

    Massaman chicken curry with brown rice
    Donna C.

    Solid dinner. Stopped in on a Saturday night. Seated right away. Good service, good food, clean and bright. The servers were a little over-attentive, polite and knowledgeable. We got the crab rangoon and it was really good! We got the drunken noodles and massaman curry - both were fine. Not very spicy. The server never asked how spicy we wanted the food so we probably should have been proactive. Biggest challenge was finding parking - the megachurch was just getting out when we arrived. Church attendees are not supposed to park in the retail but clearly they do.

    We love this place most of the time. Lately, it has not been as good. We hope they improve the quality and get back to what they used to be. Burned anything shouldn't be acceptable.

    Panang curry with white rice in a cute little heart shape
    Jennifer N.

    I ordered pad thai with chicken. Thought it was great, and the service was fast and very friendly! We were two of six people in the restaurant at the time, and the waitress was very attentive with coming to check on us and making menu recommendations. My bf had the panang curry and didn't love it -- the veggies in it were sliced into huge portions, it was thinner than he'd like, and his 3/5 spice rated more like a 1 or 2 to him. Alas, this isn't his Yelp review, it's mine. So 5 stars from me!

    This is an amazing restaurant for Thai food. Located on the near Northside of Denver in Broomfield,…read morenot only is the food delicious but the management team is out of this world. If you have a chance, swing by and enjoy an authentic Thai meal. You won't regret it.

    We met another couple here on Memorial Day. It wasn't busy. Nice atmosphere for a strip mall venue…read more Windows everywhere. The owner was our server. Nice man. His wife is the chef. I'd say the consensus was overall positive. But we do have some critique. I had the drunken noodles with pork and mild spice. It was tasty. I enjoyed the sauce, but the pork was tough and there weren't many vegetables. The pork was better as a leftover later. I ordered this because it listed veggies. But those were sparsely placed. Perhaps I needed to ask for extra. My husband had Moo Ping very mild. He said it was tasty, but again, the pork was chewy, hard for him. The rice was so hard, he couldn't cut it with his fork. So that went uneaten. My friends went hotter and it seemed their meals were better. She had Grandma's Pad Thai. I tasted it. Yummy. He had a very hot curry that I didn't try, but he seemed to enjoy it. If I went back, I'd get her dish. They also ordered three appetizers. Edamame might have been frozen. They were mushy to me. And no salt that I detected, so bland. I didn't put enough sauce on the golden tofu, I guess. The others enjoyed it. My husband really liked it. And we all enjoyed the shrimp tempura. My friend also had a mixed drink and seemed to enjoy that. It was quiet enough that we could catch up and it's in between where we live. In all, a good experience, with both hits and misses.
