I'm always a bit leery of pan-asian establishments due to my belief in "jack of all trades, master of none." Pandang so far does ok. Overhard the service staff talking in Chinese, which, if it reflects the management, would be funny given the food they are (and are not) serving.
Even before hearing the staff talk, I knew the food wouldn't be authentic after sampling two Thai dishes. It is hard to describe but authentic Thai food has a precise flavor that is due to proper uses of spices, sauces, peanuts and cooking style. The taste of the Thai dishes were more akin to Chinese takeout (good takeout, but still takeout) with overtones of salty/soy sauce-like flavors rather than the mildly sweet, slow chili burn that should be characteristic of dishes like Pad Thai. Like I said, good, just not authentic.
Service was very nice and friendly.
Solid sushi spot turning out consistent rolls on a regular basis. Friendly staff and casual atmosphere makes this the go to place for just about any roll you want.
Compared to other SOMA area sushi, the special rolls are very large and worth the money. I had the hulk roll, which is HUGE and delish for just $10.95. We only had sushi but it was good/very good and generously sized. The layout is a bit weird with the two room set-up, and there's a giant tv that some Seton Hall ladies wanted changed so they could watch basketball–it is my opinion that's what sports bars are for. But besides my opinion of TVs in restaurants, this was a good sushi spot, and reasonable prices.
Pandang is solid. I'm a little surprised by the disparate reviews here, but I guess you can't please everyone. As a non-Asian American (read: white boy), perhaps I don't have the discerning palate of some diners or maybe it's just that I don't hold places like this to the same standard as others have. Whatever the case may be, though I'm often wary of Pan-Asian restaurants that serve a little bit of everything, I found Pandang to be quite enjoyable.
It sounds like the sushi here is good, but we had Thai. Will have to try the sushi next time. Between us, we tried the tom yum soup, drunken noodles and pad Thai. The soup and drunken noodles were very good, full of flavor and pretty spicy (which I like). The pad Thai was fairly pedestrian but serviceable, though I'll admit, it's not really my thing. Overall, I was impressed with the quality of the food and whether it's "authentic" or not, I liked it and will definitely order from them again.
I've been here a handful of times and I could only attest for the sushi never had the Thai food but when I see it in other tables it looks appetizing…
So I usually get my usual , salmon and tuna rolls and the pizza roll which is to die for is so delicious…. Everything taste so good and fresh.. the service depending on the day could be fast or slow… Either way the waitresses are very attentive…. 1 thing that I like about sushi restaurants is that the sushi is prepared right in your face and this spot passes the test and it's very clean.
Pandang is awesome. Their menu has lots of different options and everything i've had so far was delicious. I've ordered take out and dined in and the food was consistently good every time. The employees are very nice. I was able to enjoy a conversation with the woman up front when waiting for my take out order.
Enjoyed lunch here and recommend it to anyone looking for reasonable and good Thai food. We had the lunch special which included soup or salad. The cashew nut chicken was flavorful and contained a reasonable amount of chicken and cashew–they don't skimp on the cashew. Veggies were fresh as well as the rice. Service was fast and establishment is clean.
Atmosphere in front room wasn't ideal, so if I returned I'd ask to be seated in the back. I don't know if it's any different but it'd be worth a shot.
The food was quite good.
Sushi rolls were huge portions and my friend enjoyed both of the orders she got.
I got spring rolls which weren't the best I've had but they were good enough. The chicken with string bean entree was very flavorful. Interestingly, I get this regularly at various thai restaurants and I've never seen it with so many beans. I suppose personal preference would dictate if you think this is a good thing or a bad thing, but it was fine with me.
Overall, a good meal and with (comparably) easy parking I'd recommend it.
