The Thai Pan Restaurant — Restaurant in Leesburg

This place is awesome. Every restaurant will have varied reviews based on very specific experience one may have, and sometimes it has not much to do with the food itself even. I ate at this restaurant 4 times with my family and friends, and it was plenty for me to ask them if they can cater an event.

The restaurant is located in a gas station as mentioned in several reviews, but everything else stands in contrast to that - simple decor, awesome food. I love Thai food and I visit Thai restaurants frequently. Pad Thai is the signature dish I always compare. This place has a great Pad Thai, but really so many dishes are exceptional. It is a Gem. The lady who runs this place is not always there, but I had her every time I visited and she is so pleasant and nice and accommodating. You don't get to meet many people like that, especially not in the restaurant business.

Now for the catering. They've never done catering before, and I'm not going to try and convince you to take them. I can tell you they were super great, but the whole experience just added to what I've experienced before and even more - she was such a pleasure to work with, coming up with menu, she gave great advice, and she listened. Yes, listened to us, and than gave her advice. She came herself to deliver the food, she worked on each platter/plate with such patience - it looked amazing! She served, made sure the food looks great the entire evening, and organized all left overs in neat way before she slipped into the night.

I'm very impressed with this place, from food to customer service. Sure, some may have different experience here and there for some odd reasons, but this place is a solid for me, and I highly recommend to any food lovers, especially Thai...

Cute little place. We had the papaya salad, Sizzling Bangkok Beef, the crispy duck basil. I should have taken pictures, my bad. The papaya salad was excellent. Loved the Crispy Duck Basil except that it came surrounded by raw brocoli as did the not-sizzling beef. First time I am encountering brocoli in a Thai restaurant. I have been to a number of Thai restaurants in my time, nary a piece of brocolli. I could not find my Thai cookbook so I did do a casual google search for classic Thai recipes and confirmed for me that brocoli is not common in Thai food. I am all about modifying classic recipes but I really don't think brocolli works, specially in such abundance. The portions of the actual dish were decent, you did not have to hide the food behind the brocoli. Sizzling beef was not sizzling. The beef was dry and unappetizing. The crispy duck and the papaya salad, four stars. Sizzling duck and brocoli, thumbs down. Don't get me wrong, big fan of brocoli, not denying that it is a star ingredient, just not in my Thai food or Indian food for that matter. I just don't think it goes with the flavors. Personal opinion, I also do not think beef should be cremated, particularly such a lean cut. Maybe a fattier cut (or a liberal slathering of beef tallow) or maybe just add the raw meat to a sizzling plate and leave it be. Look I will be back to try some of the other dishes. If they can get the fried fish right, I can be a fan boy. Rooting for you guys, NOVA needs its Thai restaurants. Hopefully I will not enounter brocoli on my next visit.

ps. I found my Thai cookbook and there is no brocoli in any of...

This is the greatest restaurant I've ever been to. Their food is amazing, I've been here several times and never had a meal I didn't like. They have the best customer service in the area. In fact, they regularly impress me enough to be a customer for life. My last visit they went above and beyond, staying open late to make a take-out order for me. I was being and idiot and made a stupid mistake in the parking lot that led to a severe cut in my wrist and all of the employees that were closing up the restaurant out front came to my aide. One called 911 for me and held the phone to my ear so I could talk to the operator, he also helped me lock up my work van and also tried to call my girlfriend for me. Another brought me a stack of napkins and new, clean dish rag to help me stop the bleeding. I even found out later that one of them called my girlfriend back until she picked up to tell her I went to the hospital. This event made me think back and I remembered several years ago they trusted me enough to loan me a gas can from the gas station when someone siphoned the gas out of my truck. This is a wonderful restaurant with an incredible group of employees that always offer the best customer service and I will forever be in their debt for what they did to help me last night. They even gave us a coupon for a free entree, took the kids meal off our check and let our 6-year old pick any drink in the gas station for free one night just because our son isn't a fan of Thai food. This isn't to say that they have a single bad dish, they have the best Thai food in the area, by...
