Penn's Thai Kitchen

"A new - to me - Thai restaurant. It's almost noon, let's go. The building is unusual, multiple businesses with a central hall accessible from the east or west end. A small version of a mall. Six booths and two tables welcome you. Menus are under the glass top of the tables, I like that, efficient & hygienic. Decided on Massaman shrimp curry. Comes with a cup of hot and sour soup. Great starter for a February lunch. I tried joking with the person who brought my food (as I usually do) but she was not a receptive audience. The food was delicious, and a good quantity, as well. Lunch portions are between $10 & $11.00, dinners run $13 - 14.00. The vibe was a little more sterile than I prefer but it wouldn't slow me down in return thoughts at all."

"I couldn't be more disappointed. We have come here for many years. Instantly knew this was new ownership. While mistakes happen, and not everyone is perfect, my expectation is that if something is wrong, hear me out, help make it right. We ordered dinner for 3. Tom yum, Chicken fried rice: garlic fried rice, Mild+ and one Mild. Now I'm sitting at home trying to get flavor on one of my Mild+ dishes with salt, pepper, crunchy garlic umami topping from home. There was an obvious difference between the dishes. different toppings. different colors, much different taste. I called to let them know perhaps someone forgot to fully prep the chicken fried rice dish, and to get a replacement. The response was " yes, I make all the rice, it's all correct". The tom yum tastes like lemon concentrate. Very sour, with a bit of spice. My fiance was not able to even attempt to finish it. She couldn't get past 2 spoons. Needless to say, they didn't want to help. Didn't care that anything could be wrong. Seemed like they were more concerned with being right than getting it right. I understand it was the end of the night, but that is no excuse. I expect poor service and bad food from KFC if it's right before close, not from here. I'm beyond disappointed. Frustrated. Worst of all, hungry. This learning lesson cost almost $55."

"I used to order from this place a fried rice mild, never had a problem with the level of spiciness. It's been twice now that I order and the mild option is so spicy ! And unfortunately on their website there is no "no spice" option. Second time I ordered I even left a comment asking nicely if they could put just a tiny bit of spice...didn't make any difference and I did not enjoy my meal. Won't order there anymore ..."

"Absolutely outstanding food! Nice place to dine in real quick or take out. Quality ingredients and perfectly cooked. The menu overall is excellent and average price for this type of restaurant."

"Worked here for years back in the day with Penn. Came back recently after being out of state for many years. New ownership as Penn retired, and I left around the same time. Anyway, the food is pretty damn close to the same. It's great. And they still have her cheerful photos across the tables - many of which I took. The menu is the same, thankfully. The new owner is doing a good job."
