Of the many panang curries I have experienced in my lifetime, this ranks in the bottom portion of my list. The restaurant was under construction so takeout was the only option.The curry was inherently watery and the flavor seemed diluted, very little spice whatsoever. The veggies were good and plentiful which helps the ranking a bit. If you enjoy spicy robust curry this place isn’t for you.

This place was my favorite during pre-covid and they stopped letting people dine in.

This used to be one of my favorite places, but it's really kind of gone downhill. My orders have been cancelled the last two times I placed it because they didn't have the dishes - and they didn't have the replacement dishes. The prior time they got my order wrong even though it read chest on the receipt they provided. The dish I ordered for my friend was seasoned wrong. Ireally hope they can come back from whatever problems they're having, but right now I can't recommend Thai 5, you'll probably get the wrong order if you even get one.

Order on DoorDash, the description for the curry is “Choice of green curry, red curry, or Panang curry cooked with pumpkin, bell pepper, and basil.” I chose panang and literally none of those ingredient are included and there’s hardly any curry??

I really enjoyed the beef pho. Didn’t expect the best pho figuring I ordered pretty late on a Saturday night but it exceeded my expectations. This is now my go to for pho and don’t get me started on the Thai Tea portion was great and tasted amazing. I didn’t catch the cashiers name but she was sweet as well. Great

Had some of the best thai food of my life today. I got the beef pad thai 10/10. Mango sticky rice 1000/10. Steamed pork dumplings 10/10. Seriously couldnt have been better. I love spice though and I ordered hot, next time im getting thai hot. I was bummed they were out of papaya salad but now i have even more of a reason to come back. New favorite spot. Everyone go here.

I ordered takeout from here for the first time. They were out of every appetizer except chicken wings. They were out of the noodles for pad woon sen, which I wanted to order. I got pad see ew with shrimp instead, which was the blandest version of it that I've ever had. It had no sauce, just dry noodles with zero flavor.I also got the crab fried rice, which was OK, but overall the place was a huge disappointment. Won't be going back.

Came here for a late night meal. Ordered Thai fried rice and chicken and pepper. No flavor of Thai in the food, it’s just rice chicken and soy sauce. Poor flavors.
Disappointed. What I ordered was spicy drunken noodles with chicken, basic Thai dish, right? No effort was made in making this dish even the tiniest bit delicious. It was as if the person cooking had no idea what Thai food was. What I got was bland flat noodles with zero flavor tossed with old chicken or chicken that was reheated and thrown back into the mix. The portion was large but that didn't matter because I ate maybe 5 bites then tossed it in the trash. Never again.

Great Thai food, and relatively fast…lives up to the name. Had the pad Thai and it was good, could have used more meat but that is a personal preference. We will return and a great option for grab and go.

Not sure how they have so many stars. Food is Mid at best. Maybe it was what we ordered.The Crab Rangoons were barely filled and we had to throw out both orders, it’s was literally fried wonton wrappers.The rice was plain everyday white people rice. So gross. The curry we ordered was plain, the protein was dry and tough.Will never return.Service was as friendly! Thanks.

Got door dash delivery with high hopes, unfortunately it disappointed some. The Tom Kha soup wasn’t even coconut based unless it was just a mistake that was sent, the garlic and black pepper chicken entree was very soupy and just overall lacking certain complex Thai flavors. The larb gai was probably the best overall. There’s better take out and delivery Thai options.

The shrimp-chicken Pad Thai was not delicious at all. Noodles were very chewy, chicken wasn’t tendered. The amount of shrimps (4) and pieces of chicken were extremely small. The food was too salty, couldn’t finish it. Had a stomachache
