Iron Pan Thai Kitchen — Restaurant in Poway

I used to eat lunch here at least once a week. So much has changed since this place changed ownership. The currys taste watered down and are served with 5x more onion than any protein you order. The yellow curry no longer has those hints of lemongrass you find only in homemade versions. The massaman curry is mostly watered down broth with a little coconut milk. The nice upside-down dome of steaming, perfectly cooked white rice has been replaced with just an ice cream scoop of hard undercooked (or stale?) grains. The service is polite enough yet cursory, almost insincere. The atmosphere has lost it's authentic charm, replaced with a more austere, less welcoming look. And finally, the new smaller portions now come with a higher price. By the way, tip is based on the pre-tax subtotal, not the post-tax total. You don't tip for tax. And please don't store propane tanks, new or used, in between the front dining tables. Bad idea. And lastly, when it's cold outside, please, close the front door. Everyone inside was wearing their winter coats. Looks like it''s time to look for a warmer, more authentic Thai experience......

BEST Thai food i have ever tried please do not ever change management again youre the best from the bottom of my heart from chef to chef. Thank you for being so amazing.

The taste was even better than what i had anticipated i recommend this to everyone. Their stir fried was just enough what i needed to get through a whole days worth of work not only is it filling but its savory and just delightful. Also the red curry with bamboo shoota is another great enjoyment which everyone must try at least once. Been to this venue a few times and everytime i fo here i am NEVER disappointed food is the...

After delivering Iron Pan Thai to a customer who highly recommended their food, I went back to get lunch for myself, and it did not disappoint. I ordered chicken satay, drunken noodles shrimp, chicken yellow curry, and a Thai tea. It was all excellent. I chose spice level three for the entrees, and for someone who likes some heat but wants to really taste the food it was perfect. My favorite was the yellow curry, the carrots and potatoes were cooked perfectly, and the chicken had flavor, unlike some places that seem to add it last minute without absorbing the sauce and spices. The rice given with it was the right amount to accompany the curry. It was enough for two people with leftovers for another meal.The tea was delicious as well, not overly sweet, and refreshing. The staff is very kind and the meals packed well for take out,...
