    Thai food with the hubs.
    Wendy L.

    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.

    Thai tea

    The mussaman curry was so yummy! I can't wait to go back and try more. The Thai Tea was also amazing! One of the best Thai Tea i've had in a while. :) The restaurant is small, but very cozy.

    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!!!

    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.

    Please be aware when ordering from this place. They over charged me, we only order large shrimp tom yum $16.96, beef Pad see ew $14.95 chicken fried rice $12.95 plus $5 for a side of white rice and my total somehow came out to $70. I know for a fact tax is not $20. Make sure you don't get scammed!

    Pad thai
    Dawn S.

    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.

    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.

    Do they accommodate allergies?

    They are very nice and I'm sure they can accommodate but thai food has alot of ingredients that people tend to be allergic to.

    What can be made gluten free here?

Service, was quick and efficient, we went through the drive thru so I can only rate the cleanliness of the outside and drive thru area. It was clean and well kept. My daughter ordered the chicken tenders with adobo rice, and she loved it as always. I got the two piece chicken joy with palabok. I usually like the palabok but for some reason it was really clumped together like the noodles were left out cold and placed into the box, toppings layered onto it, not warm which was weird since everything else was hot. To me it wasn't as enjoyable cold, and the flavor was barely there. The gravy is always good :) I'll try it again another time, it may have just been an off day for them. Cause I have always liked Jollibee since my first try.

    Tried the new chicken nuggets at Jollibee, and overall, I was really impressed with the food!…read more ​The Food & Sauces ​The Nuggets: The chicken itself was fantastic! flavorful, moist on the inside, and had a great crunch to the breading. Really solid quality. ​Sriracha Mayo: Recommended by the employee, and it was a total winner. Great creamy kick that went perfectly with the crispiness of the chicken. ​The Gravy: I grabbed this hoping for something similar to KFC's brown gravy or Dairy Queen's country white gravy. I wasn't a huge fan of it with the nuggets, it has a strong, savory flavor profile that seems like it would be great poured over rice, but it didn't quite work for me as a chicken dip. ​Service & Experience ​The Wait: The main downside was speed. I had to wait about 15 minutes after being asked to pull around from the drive-thru lane. It took long enough that I actually thought they might have forgotten about the order! Definitely a 4 star experience. The chicken and Sriracha Mayo are good enough to bring me back, I'll just make sure I'm not in a hurry next time!

That way,…read morethe viewpoint expressed isn't just a good day or a bad day, but the average day here's my review after quite a few visits... This place is sooooo inconsistent. Sometimes it's legit, other times it's a waste of money. Unfortunately my most recent visits have been lackluster. Sometimes they charge for honey or sauce, other times they don't. The prices are a bit ridiculous, especially for the lemonade. Sometimes food is hot, like fresh out of the frier, the fries are crispy and perfect. Other times, fries are kinda mushy and blah. Chicken is thin and dry. My most recent visit, I didn't tip. I'm low on cash, and a $20 sandwich place should be paying their people fairly. You order standing up, bus your own table etc. so what are you tipping for exactly? I've got fatigue in the subject. Anyway, The guy was suddenly visibly irritated when he gave me my number stick. The friendly person I talked to 20 seconds ago was gone. My friend did tip. Friendly guy stayed friendly. His meal came out first even though I had ordered before him. No big deal. His and my food were actually photo worthy to show the difference. His fries were golden brown, the chicken looked awesome... mine? Fries were old and bendy. Sandwich was thin and seriously jerky like texture. The cashier guy even came to our table and specifically stood with his back to me, and over the top after like - asked my friend how his fusion fries and meal were, if he needed sauce or anything else to make his meal more enjoyable. Then turned so he didn't make eye contact with me and walked away. My friend and I started busting up. It was so unnecessarily passive aggressive. My takeaway - if they take it that far to your face, you are they doing in the back. Loud and clear, I'll go elsewhere.
