Been coming here for years and wanted to share how much I like this place. Definitely my favorite Thai restaurant. They have a lot of dishes that other Thai places don’t have. Prices are fair and food is excellent. Pad kratiam ?

This is a great restaurant. Food, service and Ambience are all very good. I don't have the photos to back up what I'm saying but I highly recommend this restaurant. I'm Asian but not Thai and we love their food.

Dropped in after a massage next door. I was looking for a light meal. I ordered the ThomKa soup, with shrimp and the Kanom Jeab steamed dumplings. Both were delicious. The soup had a nice touch if spice. The dumplings came with a light dipping sauce. I'll be back

Typical strip mall restaurant, but the food is really good. We eat here a lot, mostly takeout.

Ordered pad thai and shrimp fried rice for takeout. The food was missing basic ingredients. It's like they ran out of the scallions, egg and tofu, so they just gave us noodles, shrimp and a sprinkle of bean sprouts. The fried rice was the same. I have never eaten fried rice that didn't have onions. Literally just rice and barely any shrimp. Just embarrassing.

service was very good- restaurant mostly empty on Saturday eve 8:30. ordered green papaya salad dressing was very tasty but spice was not mixed through properly - it comes with shrimp - which were not cooked , still translucent. also the shrimp with the panang curry were not good- very jellylike - similar to precooked ring shrimp from grocery store, horrible texture.curry sauce was exceptionally delicious. again had same weird texture shrimp with the Pad Thai also was a bit too sweet . There were no garnishes on the Pad Thai like lime wedges and cilantro or crushed peanuts on top. I took the shrimp home from the papaya salad and reheated on stove top and it turned a whitish-pink, proof that they were not cooked enough! Shame on the kitchen for serving them that way !

Panisa is our go-to Thai restaurant! The food is amazing. I've had several different dishes and have never been disappointed. The service is excellent. The employees genuinely care about your experience!

It wasn't real thai food and tasted awful. It tasted more close to Chinese food. I would never go back. Service was good.

I went last week with a friend for lunch and it was fabulous! I'm bringing my family there for dinner next (to put it to the real test lol).
I went to dinner with friends on. Monday night. The food was delicious. My favorites are Spicy noodle soup and Mussamun curry. The wait staff is attentive. I highly recommend.

Today I ordered a chicken cashew but I was very disappointed. The chicken was very plain and no flavor but salty. Is the second time that I ordered something from here and I don’t like it I was giving another opportunity but didn’t work for me.

I don't know what happened at this place but this used to be the only thai restaurant I could order pad thai from. Everywhere else is dry and too sweet. But I have ordered several times in the past few months always hoping it was a fluke and no more. This last round was dry as a bone and absolutely tasteless. Probably the worst I have had anywhere. I even asked for extra sauce to mitigate the potential dryness and that was totally ignored. Really a shame. Hopefully they figure this out for future customers.Parking: All good

Placed a to-go order. I ordered green curry, drunken noodle, and som tam (papaya salad). I didn’t get to dine in but the restaurant’s atmosphere seemed to be really nice. However, I believe the papaya used in the som tam was not ripe at all and left an uncomfortable bitter taste after each bite. Unfortunately, I had to trash the 14 dollar salad after couple of bites. Other than that, the food was good.
