| - Holy Effin-esse! This food is belligerently good! I hate vegetables, as my +1 Michelle (I will refer to her as this throughout the review because she refuses to open a Yelp account, but had a blast with me at the CYME) can attest to, but Pan Asian is the exception!
After reading dozens of 5-star Yelp reviews, I developed a craving to try Pan Asian. When we pull up in the parking lot we are a bit taken back by the fact that we are the only ones here. We enter the restaurant and it is empty. During our entire dinner only one patron came in to pick up a to go order and I have to admit... it scared me!
First off is the Gyoza. Fancy name for potstickers.. with flavor and texture! This app came out inside 5 minutes! David (of David Wong's Pan Asian) was waiting on us and discussed, in depth, the ingredients and its masterful cooking process. The Gyoza had true texture, something I look for in all foods. At first bite it was crisp, then soft, and then an influx of flavor. Our app was in front of us for probably six minutes then it was devoured. I was actually criticized by my +1 for eating the garnish. I did not know it was not acceptable to also eat the carrots that were artistically placed on the plate. Party foul on Rich.
Almost immediately upon our successful conquer of the Gyoza, our main courses arrived. +1 ordered Clear Noodles and Beef, I had the Basil Sauce Stir Fry with Beef. As previously stated, I am not a veggies guy. To be blunt (#YelpConfessional) this is my first stir fry... in my life. The flavor was disgustingly good! I was gobbling up bell peppers like there is no tomorrow. The onions were perfectly seasoned, the... whatever else was in there... perfect! Truly, absolutely, perfect! I agree with Tien's review. How can food possibly taste this good? No explanation here!
Michelle's meal... wow! I was offered a taste, which I could not resist, and it was just as impressive! I have never been a huge noodle guy, but for every rule there is an exception... this was it.
My (our) biggest dilemma was the amount of mouth-watering menu choices and which we would eat. We will be back (multiple times) and I cannot wait for the next visit. As usual, the balance of Yelp is not wrong. This place is freakin' awesome! A true treat to eat, and the prices were incredibly cheap! Gyoza, Clear Noodles and Beef, Basil Sauce Beef Stir Fry, 2 drinks... $28!
I have told 3 people about this place since dinner! Don't miss out!
