Wow, just wow. Amazing pad Thai. My now official Thai recommendation to all my Uber folks. Only draw back is that you must order online or walk in. No call-ins. Otherwise great !

4.5 rounding to 5

Diner Review №2

The Pad Thai tasted fresh, good large portion, but very inauthentic, almost like it was from a fast casual chain or something. Rice noodles were mushy and like they never hit a wok, and flavor was really subdued. Maybe the curries are good? Seems like from the other reviews, that might be their specialty.

Diner Review №3

The Panang Curry was packed with amazing flavors with the right amount of spice and the rice was cooked perfectly! Definitely recommend this restaurant!!!

Diner Review №4

Best Thai food I've had in Austin, the curry was as good as what i ate in Thailand. Took it to go because it's not really a welcoming sit down restaurant vibe. There's a conveyer belt where the food comes out and the attendant hands your food to you. Recommended!

Diner Review №5

Ghost kitchen. You can't go.

Diner Review №6

I believe they operate as a ghost kitchen or cloud kitchen. Had the curry trio, and the spring rolls delivered. Incredible food - fresh spices, all three curries were amazing. The (fried) spring rolls were perfectly crisp. Incredible value for the complexity, flavor and freshness of the dishes.

Diner Review №7

This Thai food is so good! I like how clean and simple the ingredients taste but delicious. I tried the trio.

Diner Review №8

This is definitely the best Thai food I’ve had in Austin….and I’ve tried LOTS of them. The only downside is that it’s in a to go commercial kitchen - no full service sit-down available.

The pad Thai and curry were so delicious and the flavors were robust and delicious!! We will DEFINITELY be back!!

Diner Review №9

This is an odd place cause it's a cloud kitchen with a couple of other restaurants (at one point it may have had over 10). I came in with a couple friends. There's only like 6 2-tops so we put a couple together. Our meal was in to go containers so we asked for some additional boxes as make shift bowls to eat. Decent amount of parking given they aren't expecting people to dine in.

Diner Review №10

The restaurant seems designed with the expectation they'll only interact with delivery drivers. Just a computer and a pickup counter. I'm not even sure you can order in person.

The food tasted good though.

Diner Review №11

Delicious, delicious, delicious. Had the Chicken Pad Thai, very flavorful and fresh. Will definitely be going again. They're open till midnight too which is excellent for me. Hoping for the best for this place.

Diner Review №12

This Thai spot is where it’s at, fresh ingredients packed full of flavor! I think I’ve tried everything on the menu at this point and have yet to find anything I don’t like. It’s hard to choose a favorite, but I would recommend the curry trio or the pad Thai which are my most ordered items.

Diner Review №13

The flavor of the red curry was good, and the rice was fresh and well-made. I was surprised to see the tofu option was $1 more than the chicken option (at other places it’s either the same or less), and I was further surprised to find it was soft tofu instead of fried. I feel like fried tofu is a better and more common pairing with curry because it absorbs the curry flavor better, and its firmness provides a nice contrast with the more mushy veggies and rice. Soft tofu is fine, but had the menu specified I would have ordered the chicken.

That being said, the flavor of the curry was tasty and I’m looking forward to trying another one from Panang Future soon.

Diner Review №14

Finally took the time to order. Wow. Very nice. Clean food, great flavor, good portions. I had the Tofu Pad Thai with added shrimp, the spring rolls and the Panang Curry with chicken.

Definitely will talk about and order again in the future.

Diner Review №15

I'd previously given a low rating based on not being able to put in an order...due to an issue with the business that takes orders... not the restaraunt.

They quickly responded to me and assured me they could feed me next time I come.

I look forward to it!

Diner Review №17

Tried all three curries and the beef pad Thai last night. I was really trusting the reviews and we were excited to try but unfortunately nothing was spectacular, and I am still on the toilet.. Got me pretty sick right away. I have celiac but everything was labeled gluten free so idk, my girlfriend didn't get the same symptoms.

The panang curry was by far the best thing on the menu, but it was still salted way way too much. The green curry seemed like the salt shaker just busted open into it. Even the pad Thai was wildly abundant with salt. I don't get it. My blood pressure was through the rough all night, couldn't sleep and I'm 31 lol. Salt can be added at the end and everybody has it, don't dump it in your entres it can't be removed and made them horrible to attempt to eat. Unfortunately threw away like 45 bucks worth of food. Bummer man. One star to offset the overwhelming one sided reviews. We tried everything and none of it was good to either of us.

Diner Review №18

I was in a TERRIBLE mood tonight. I was overwhelmed because i got off work late (close to 11pm) and the power was out at my apartment so i couldnt even cook. I hadnt eaten all day because it had just been on of those days.
So i was volatile, to say the least. Anything could have set me off. Anything.

But it didnt… in fact, the service had me smiling for the first time all day. They had my order ready lightning fast, and were so kind it flipped my day around just like that.

I got the pad thai and it was delicious!

Diner Review №19

FANTASTIC CURRY FLAVORS! Thai Milk Tea was perfect w curry trio! Spring Rolls very good!
I've tried other Thai places & this place is the best so far! The curry trio is a great option to try.
(This place is located inside a shared commercial kitchen. We walked in & ordered online but were able to dine here.)

Diner Review №20

Some of the most delicious curry I've had. I ordered the panang curry and now I wish I had ordered the curry trio and the roasted chicken too!

Diner Review №21

This curry is AMAZING!!! I don’t leave reviews often, but this is just too good not to share. Best Curry I’ve had in Austin (maybe ever?) The herbs and spices are perfectly balanced and the bright, fresh ingredients are the highlight of this dish. I’ve found my new healthy comfort food; Panang Curry 😍

Diner Review №22

Omg this place is my new favorite I love their shrimp & their milk tea is AMAZING & will definitely be my new pregnancy craving can’t wait to try the rest of the menu

Diner Review №23

I really like the pad thai and red curry. The food taste amazing 👏 🤩 😋

Diner Review №24

Sooo freaking good and I'm super picky about Thai food. Panang and green curries were rich complex and spicy 🌶️ .

We also got the lemon grass chicken appetizer which was fresh and perfectly cooked. Set up is kinda weird (it's a ghost kitchen, I just searched Google nearby), but a good chill spot, great location, and super fast. Chefs kiss, try it.

Diner Review №25

The chicken panang curry is incredible--definitely will be returning.

Diner Review №26

Really great curries, one of the best

Diner Review №27

The service is perfection and so is the food! I've had the apps as well as the curries, and all are phenomenal. The rice though...it's on point...maybe the best rice I've had and they package it with care and attention to detail. My favorite curry is a tie between the Red and Panang. This place will soon become your new go-to for Thai food!

Diner Review №29

Delicious!! I used to drive very far to get good curry.. I gobbled it all up. I will absolutely be back! Also, two suggestions: being able to choose the heat level, and adding lamb as protein. But even so, it was outstanding!!! I had the beef red curry and it was so yummy. 😍

Diner Review №30

Owner was very kind when I picked up my food. Thai curry was excellent. First time I've ever seen curry flights offered, each one more delicious than the last

Diner Review №31

Was looking for some Thai food and this popped up as closest to me. What a treat it was. I had the Panang Chicken Curry and it was perfect. Ill be back with friends soon!

Diner Review №32

I don't normally write reviews but this place is so good! The panang and green curries are truly excellent! Rice was cooked perfectly too and the protein was very well done. I will 100% be back!

Diner Review №33

I can't say I know much about Thai curries... but I've been eating all my life and I know good food. This place is rapidly becoming a go to spot near my office. The best way I can describe how good the food is and how much I enjoy it is to say that I think about it over the weekend... you read that right... I think about this food over the weekend.... and to top that off... might be the friendliest group of people I've been around in quite awhile. In times where we've grown to accept distance and coldness in our interactions with others... it is amazing how much a smile and a "have a nice day" note on the take out bag means..do yourself a favor and pick up a curry or three... I promise, your day will be better for it.

As I finish this wonderful green curry... I'm already planning the next trip back... Thank y'all for such good food!

Diner Review №34

Awesome thai Curries! Love it when a place has a small menu but does what they do exceptionally well. Having lived in Asia and knowing what real Thai food should taste like - I can say this is the real deal.

Diner Review №35

This place is definitely five stars, what a great find the friendliest service I’ve ever experienced. I will definitely be back.

Diner Review №36

Very good food and friendly people. Passionate about their food and service!

Diner Review №37

I stumbled upon PANANG FUTURE by accident, and what a delightful accident it was! The owner's warmth, friendliness, and exceptional customer service made my visit truly memorable.

I ordered the cha-Yen along with the Beef Panang Curry, and I must say, it was a delightful culinary experience. The flavors were incredible, and I thoroughly enjoyed my lunch.

What made this visit even more special was the personal touch. The owner took the time to write me a thank you letter, which was a super awesome gesture. It's the little things that make a big difference, and PANANG FUTURE certainly knows how to go above and beyond in creating a wonderful dining experience.

I highly recommend PANANG FUTURE for not only their delicious food but also for the outstanding service and personal care they offer to their customers. This unexpected find turned out to be a hidden gem, and I can't wait to return for more culinary delights and friendly smiles.

Thank you, PANANG FUTURE, for making my day with your amazing food and exceptional hospitality!

Ohhhhhh! You have to scan the QR code to get to the menu! Super cute multi-kitchen menu

It was my First time trying Thai food, and I'm glad i did. The food was full of flavors and the owner was nice and he took his time to explain what i was ordering. i will come back for more.

Diner Review №39

I have had a hard time finding panang curry in Austin that I love and I finally found it. I live in Easton Park so drive by this place all the time and am so glad it’s there. I can’t wait to try all the different curries. The owner was so friendly too.

Diner Review №40

I don’t usually write reviews. But I have been there multiple times these past few weeks. The food has been super consistent. Also the operators are so personable and kind. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone that wants great Thai food. Also the menu is growing!

Diner Review №42

Not friendly. Value their vendors over customers. Not a lot of options.

Diner Review №43

Great!
Had the Penang Curry (beef).
Rice was perfectly cooked, penang was the best I've had so far in Austin. Very flavorful.
I wish they had dine in, but it's a ghost kitchen so take-out only.

Diner Review №44

Good food and great service! I got the Panang Curry and the flavor was delicious. It came with enough to feed me for two meals, which I always love having leftovers! The owner was also very sweet and handed me the food himself. He mentioned that he sticks with authentic recipes, so if you're looking for authentic Thai food, I recommend this place!

Diner Review №45
