The food is good. Sometimes, it's a hit or miss with specific directions with preparing order. For example, I love extra spicy food. I ask every time for my order to be extra spicy. It's 50/50

Diner Review №2

Solid Thai food and sushi. Good service. I had passion fruit grean tea which was really good along with the phoenix roll and chicken drunken noodles. I wish the noodles were a bit spicier but it was fine.

Diner Review №3

Loved the food! I wish I had taken photos before eating, because these photos don’t do the food we had justice. It really was good.

Diner Review №4

The Sunset Roll was delicious. Definitely will be coming back. 🌅

OBSESSED! I was truly amazed at how good the food was. I had the Massamon curry with tofu. So creamy and flavorful. Not too spicy which was perfect. I also had the mango sticky rice. It was u like most of the ones I’ve tried but still delicious nonetheless! Can’t wait to return 😋

I came for lunch during a work trip bc i was craving thai. And oh my! Oh, so tasty! I started w a veggie tom yum soup. It was packed with flavor, esp the lemongrass & cilantro, both of which I love.

Then I got a lunch special: Thai Basil Chicken. And oh my AGAIN!!! Oh, so tasty!!! It's probably the best Thai Basil I've had anywhere.

The chicken was well sliced, soft, supple, and juicy. And they didn't skimp on the amount of chicken, which I really appreciated, nor did they skimp on veggies included! Every bite was a perfect combo of chicken, peppers, onions, and sauce.

I even ordered another tom yum to go so I could undoubtedly enjoy lunch the following day.

Would def go back and order the exact same thing!!! 😅

Diner Review №10

They have a nice variety of sushi 🍣 and bubble teas. It's been awhile since I've been there. Can't wait to go there again next time.

I have been a loyal customer for sooo many years. Yesterday, I ordered a shrimp tempura sushi roll via Uber Eats and there was a long black hair wrapped up in the shrimp tempura. I was on my 2nd to last bite. I'm so sad to say I can never recommend this place again. Absolutely unacceptable.

Diner Review №13

Got the Volcano Roll without cream cheese and a miso soup. Was super beautiful and delicious! The staff were very kind and the whole dining experience was exceptional.

Diner Review №14

Diner Review №15

Tried 3 different types of rolls. Taste was good and fresh. Only thing is wasabi doesn't have the kick to it. Could get some Fred powder wasabi and mix and serve.

Ordered the salmon avocado roll and pad siew for takeaway for the kid.

Diner Review №16

Extremely tasty food with tons of options.

Diner Review №17

Some of the best drunken noodles I ever had it really had that authentic Thai flavor. Got the sushi as well which was really fresh and flavorful. Staff were really friendly gave me mochi ice cream on them for my birthday.

Diner Review №18

I ordered pad thai with no peanuts, as I have a serious allergy. The sent me a pad thai covered with peanuts. When I called, they refused to help me in any way. HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE.

Diner Review №19

Really great take out service.

I could even get through one piece of sushi! This place wasn’t very good and the rolls I bought stayed cooked on the menu and were definitely not cooked! Felt sick 30 minutes later, would not recommend this place…..

Diner Review №27

I would have liked to continue to eat and order here. However they won’t deliver even though I’m 4 minutes away. Directs me to Uber eats so I can pay more.

Diner Review №28

Really sweet people, and fantastic food, particularly the noodle and curry dishes. Speed of service was a little clunky, but we have a lovely time whenever we go.

Diner Review №29

Food is always great here. Super nice atmosphere too especially with the music. The workers were really nice there. We ordered many rolls, and the new “Jupiter Roll” was especially amazing. (second picture) Definitely will be coming back for more! 🍣🍱🔥🔥🍤🎏

Diner Review №31

My wife and I love to go here for a lunch date. The food is great and the atmosphere is always very Zen and calming. The service is very attentive and prompt. It's one of our go-tos. My one nit would be some of the spicy labels on the menu are not really. Last time my wife got the drunken noodle, we asked very specifically if it's truly spicy and were assured it was. Cue Morgan Freeman voiceover, "the drunken noodle was not, in fact, spicy". The bento boxes are a hit though, as are the other lunch specials.

Diner Review №32

Enjoyed my dinner there recently. The staff was very friendly. The spider roll and the Norway roll were both very good.

I will definitely return to Pandang.

Honestly pissed about my experience. We arrived for dinner expecting it to be somewhat busy however, there were a few empty tables and figured we understood the wait if anything. Nearly after sitting down at approx 730pm, it is now 910pm and no entrees. Appetizers were literally a sushi roll that came out at 815, nearly 30 min to wait for it. Entrees….We kept being told “it’s coming in 5 min” “I’m gonna check for you” and then another server saying “it’s coming out now” and here we go another 30 minutes and nothing. There were literally 4 tables asking for food and we all sat there confused and in disbelief. 2 tables ended up leaving. We heard their complaints. MEANWHILE, a table that walked in 30 min after some of us and sat closest to the front had their entire entree. The excuse? It’s busy….again, with empty tables and literally no water refills, no follow ups, no nothing. meanwhile they are filling orders for everyone at the lobby for Uber and tables waiting. When we decided to leave, the cashier tried making it seem like our order was ready and on its way? How? The servers told us so many different times. There communication was horrible. They also tried to tell me that the couple eating got sushi when it was clearly chicken and rice. I can visibly see their order. We ordered noodles. We waited nearly over an hour for an entire entree and never got to eat. Will never come back here.

The rolls are awesome.

Diner Review №39

I arrived grumpy and hungry. Not only did I leave happy and satisfied I was also a little bit in love. The Pad Thai was *chef's kiss* and the sushi was fresh. They also were able to make the pad thai gluten free and they also had GF soy sauce. I highly recommend that you check them out.

Great Thai and Japanese fusion place
Got the green Thai curry, tomyum noodles soup and the yellowtail jalapeno roll. It was all very good, service was great too.
Exceeded expectations, hidden gem.

Diner Review №47

Sushi pizza was tasty, would recommend. Had the crispy chicken 🐔 n rice, pretty tasty for a simple dish. Been coming here for years and and have yet to have any complaints. Check it out if you're in the neighborhood.

Diner Review №48

Their food is overpriced and overrated. I'm a big Thai food eater, and their food was not good at all. I ordered Basil Spicy rice with chicken. The chicken was like rubber and the portion wasn't enough for the price. The service was horrible. I got up from the table to use the bathroom, an employee stopped and asked where was I going. Like I was doing something wrong. Never again.

Diner Review №49

First time today and was amazing

Diner Review №50

One of my favorite restaurants. The food is delicious and the staff and owner is so incredibly kind. I've been going to Pangdang for years and have never had a bad experience. Couldn't rate this place any higher!

Diner Review №57

All of the food was tasty and fresh. Pineapple, fried rice and shrimp pad Thai are really good. Tom Yan soup is the best hands down. Try the mango tango roll. You won't be sorry.

Diner Review №58

Diner Review №59

Amazing!! So many veggie options and everything tastes so good. We left feeling very satisfied. Tempura oreos were a nice surprise and the service is great. Lovely employees :)

Diner Review №60

I've been coming here for years and the food never disappoints! I love that they even have lunch specials on Saturdays too! Ideal if you wanna dine on a budget 😛

Diner Review №61

I go in for takeout lunch special of spicy tuna or salmon rolls which are terrific! I order them once a week. Highly recommend them.

Diner Review №62

Diner Review №63

The food was delicious. And I specially love the sushi. The mochi and thai tea was also very good! 🫶🫶🫶🫶🤸‍♀️🤸‍♀️🤸‍♀️🦜

Diner Review №65

Food was great, service was great as well.

Diner Review №66

The food is still good but I feel like the quality has dropped particularly the meat has been rubbery the last few times I ordered. Perhaps they are just focusing more on sushi these days

Diner Review №67

Diner Review №68

I found the Panang curry charged at $22 to be disappointingly diluted in flavor, with the chicken seeming inauthentic. Despite the high price of $9, the spring rolls were nothing exceptional, resembling the typical Chinese variety accompanied by duck sauce, rather than the more unique Thai version.

Diner Review №69

Excellent sushi! The quality is all there. The food is super fresh and simply delicious. The staff is also very kind. Overall 5/5 experience. Truly a hidden gem!

Diner Review №77

Their deep fried red snapper might be the best thing I've ever eaten at a restaurant.

Diner Review №78

Went back to Pandang to give it a second chance and had 2 fantastic Thai curries. Really delicious. This review concerns takeout.

Diner Review №79

Sooooo good and amazing customer service

Diner Review №80

Kind of a hole-in-the-wall place, probably about 35 seats, food was tasty and fresh, service was very good.

Diner Review №81

This place always has consistent sushi quality. I have never ate their food and felt gross or got sick after. They have the best spicy crab, other places use lower quality crab and sauce. Pandang is family owned and you always see their kids coming around. They connect really well with the locals in the area and are always warm and welcoming. The parking is extremally difficult, keep in mind.

Diner Review №82

I've been going here for a few years now and still have yet to be disappointed with the food.

Diner Review №83

I usually doordash from here a few times per month. Sweet potatoe and Advocado rolls are so good.

Diner Review №84

Food is super bland lightly flavored. No napkins utensils or sauces in bag.

The food was good the server was nice they didn't ask tip for over 20 percent .... that's not the true . ....

Diner Review №94

I’m very sad because a few years ago this place used to be amazing and the food had a ton of flavor and spice. Now the food is literally so bland :/. I’m unsure if they underwent new management but the food is not good anymore. My most recent experience there towards the end we put down tip but the server demanded 20%. There was a couple of us and some tipped over 20% but my one friend who did not, the server singled them out and pointed to the bottom of the receipt saying 20% is minimum. Please do better!!!

Diner Review №95

The food and service were as expected. Good.

Diner Review №96

I’ve been dining at Pandang since this place opened, food is still tasting good, but portions got smaller, and it seems that they want to save on wasabi and ginger, fits only for one tooth.

Diner Review №97

Delicious Thai and sushi spot and friendly service.

Diner Review №98

They are always so nice and the food is great! My favorite is the hibachi shrimp fried rice.

Diner Review №99

So I went here for lunch and I got the curry. Literally the Curry wasn’t even closer to the half way point of my bowl. They say curry is expensive and the can’t do a return.If you want good curry that actually worth the money go to 9 Thai in Newark New Jersey

Diner Review №100

Solid food, not the absolute best but pretty decent

Diner Review №101

Diner Review №102

The food is delicious. I order tofu entrees from the Thai specials since I'm vegetarian. The food never disappoints. It's perfect.

Diner Review №103

The CRISPY CHICKEN is DELICIOUS! Made Like no other restaurant in south Orange! I highly recommend it’s the perfect amount of spicy and sweet

Diner Review №104

The food is so delicious, and the staff is friendly

Diner Review №105

Hot spicy vegetables.

Diner Review №106

They order General Tso chicken from next door and tried to pass it off as their crispy chicken they are absolutely disgusting. If you don’t have it then cancel the order.

Diner Review №107

Diner Review №108

They service was good. They were really nice. However, I ordered Thai basil and it did not taste like Thai basil. It just tasted like fried rice with chicken. There was 3 tiny basil leaves. The rest of the rice was pretty basic and not much flavor which was unfortunate. The habachi order was fine but Thai basil was so bad, I don’t think I will be coming back.

Diner Review №109

Highly disappointed, I spent $75 for dry food. The fried rice and drunken noodles all severely dry with minimal to no flavor. I had to use a lot of sauce from home to combat the lack of taste. My friend laughed that I paid $75 when we could have went elsewhere for better food for a fraction of the cost.

Diner Review №110

This place has delicious food & decent prices for lunch specials. The problem is the service. The service is simply not good. When we got there, the waitress rushed us to order. Then, before I had taken the last bite of my food another person that was not the waitress slams the check on our table. I said thank you and she replied with, "Mhmm". They're more interested in take out business than they are in dining in.

Pad thai did not taste fresh or as good as I get at other places. Certainly not worth $16.

Diner Review №115

Very lovely owners. Establishment is very clean. Atmosphere is peaceful. My friend and I started with some gyoza pork dumplings, followed by the hibachi fried rice. The meal was soooo delectable, delicious and delightful! An experience we didn't want to end. Worth every dollar! Make sure you don't go to the Chinese food place next door🤢, visit them instead
😀You won't be disappointed😌

Diner Review №122

Order the spider roll on two different occasions!!

Diner Review №123

Great dish....

Diner Review №124

Always love their food, their specialty sushi and drunken noodles are my go to!

Diner Review №125

The food was tasteless and felt like I was eating rubber. Never again.

Diner Review №126

eu fiz um pedido basico: 2 pizzas sendo uma rucula e 6 tonicas. chegou o pedido sem rucula e tonica. pedimos o que estava faltando. Veio a rucula e sem as tonicas. pedi 6 tonicas, elas chegaram, porem apenas duas. enfim, desorganizados e confusos

Diner Review №130

So I was VERY disappointed bc the reviews were good. I got a pretty simple dish. Pineapple fried rice with chicken. The rice was dry and ABSOLUTELY flavorless even from a plain rice perspective. There were no pineapples I think they tried to replace with yellow raisins or something. The chicken was white in color of course no flavor and unappealing bc of color or lack Thereof. There was then no flavor from the cuisine perspective. So overall horrible. And you know it was bad bc they gave so much. Just a plate full of dry flavorless rice complete waste of $13-14. I'll probably have to try to recook the dish in an effort to save the money I wasted. Definitely the worst fried rice I've ever had. The shumai was ok. Standard

Diner Review №131

Very good food. 5 stars

Diner Review №132

Diner Review №133

This is our go-to local sushi place. Always great food and service!

The drunken noodles and spicy chicken are 2 of my favorites

Diner Review №136

Hmmmmm ok

Diner Review №137

Diner Review №138

Pretty nice place for a lunch - got myself beef pad Thai there , it came out cooked well. Prices are little steep for the size of the portion (medium size plate is over 11$). On the other hand , selection is huge and take out order were ready in about 10-15 minutes

Diner Review №139

Diner Review №140

Too expensive for what it is. The sushi is good although the noodle dishes are subpar. You can get cheaper and better quality sushi and Thai food from other restaurants in the area

Diner Review №141

Chef Z here again. So I don't quite know how to put this. I was sold at the peanut sauce. Being someone in the industry for over 20 years, it is nearly impossible to find good eats outside of your own kitchen. I was proven wrong. Thanks to pandemic and a broken foot I am forced to try what can be delivered. It's a real Pad Thai....I made alterations to mine...their Pad Thai sauce is on point. Their summer rolls, pretty as ever. Thanks guys for the best meal I've had to outside of my own cooking, in a very long time. Keep up the good work!!!

Diner Review №142

This place is really bad. The curry has NO sauce. I’m talking DRY, and very little flavor.
I buy curry for a taste sensation; this was awful.
Pad Tai was so dry we had to add water to eat it.
Don’t waste your money.

Diner Review №143

The service was fast and the food was good.
I'll try them again

Diner Review №144

Diner Review №145

The Pad Thai was very underwhelming and lacking flavor. It was also somehow burnt. I’d stick to the Japanese portion of the menu.

Diner Review №146

The food is delicious

Diner Review №147

This sushi location is fresh! Never disappointed so flavorful and the staff is courteous always. If you are in the South Orange area they deliver, if not Door Dash. Its always my go to

The place does an excellent job of contactless delivery. It was very impressive and made me feel very safe. The food was good, however I expected the chicken Katsu to have more of the curry sauce. My ordered the spring rolls, which were tasty but few in number. Overall good, not great

My go to spot.in South Orange. Staff is always nice and food is always great. Will continue to go and advise others to try as well. Have had from sushi, to noodles, hibachi etc.

Diner Review №178

It was very fresh!!!!

Diner Review №179

Decent place. Good variety of sushi, bento boxes, hibachi and some other items. I had the drunken noodles which was a bit gummy and while spiced nicely, was overall not something I would order again. The miso soup was wonderful, the tea was a good Hōjicha that was probably the best part of the meal. The tiger roll looked amazing. The bento boxes were a great deal and tasty.

Diner Review №180

The food was mostly mediocre and decent until I was a third into my pad Thai dish. This dish always have limes as a garnish and when I went to use it, it was clearly used from another’s meal. It was sucked dry and bristly. I shuddered in horror that I’m literally trying to consume a lime that someone else sucked on. They reuse the garnishes other patrons do not use! Never again!!

Diner Review №181

Fresh food. Great sushi and other options such as hibachi and bento boxes for lunch.
