| - Pan Asian is an excellent family owned and operated Asian fusion restaurant.
If you come at night, the first thing you will probably notice when you walk in is the harsh and very bright fluorescent lighting over the dining area. Like space ship bright. It would be so much nicer if they dimmed or completely changed the lighting. For lunch it's not really an issue.
The atmosphere here leaves a lot to be desired. Thankfully the service and food make up for it.
The service is excellent, waitstaff are super friendly and attentive. They are more than happy to answer any questions about the menu, suggest dishes, and honor special requests. The service is an easy 5-stars.
The food is really good. Here are my favorite dishes:
Mango and Tiger Prawn Salad 5/5
This is a very well balanced combination of flavors. It's sweet, salty, tangy, and savory. The greens and herbs were crisp and fresh, the shrimp grilled to perfection.
Red Curry with Crispy Duck 5/5
This dish is phenomenal. It's not currently on the menu but it's almost always offered as a special. This is the signature dish here and you should not hesitate to order it. It's a little expensive compared to the rest of their menu, but you get a huge duck breast that is easily shared by two people. The duck breast is dredged in flour and deep fried to crispy perfection. Okay, fried duck breast and red curry sounds too rich, but they way the curry is done balances this dish perfectly. The red curry sauce is light, almost watery, and along with the usual vegetables it also has pineapple chunks and fresh grapes. It works perfectly with the rich fried duck breast. Very clever and highly recommended.
Green Papaya Salad 5/5
This salad is awesome, but be careful about the spice level. Even if you order it mild, it's still very spicy. The papaya is cut shoe-string style and comes with a fish sauce dressing that is delicious.
The pineapple fried rice was pretty good but not great. It has a lot of flavor but it's extremely salty.
Overall, the food and service here are top notch. Ingredients are fresh and flavors are bold yet well balanced. The lighting and atmosphere hold this place back. It's not the kind of setting you want to be in for a romantic dinner and you would not bring a date or business client here if you want to impress them with a nice ambiance. Thankfully you'll forget about these shortcomings when you dig into the food, because it's delicious.
