  This place has great Thai food at reasonable prices.  The Pad Thai and the beef with Chinese broccoli were good, and so were the chicken satay and the fried tofu.  The only thing that wasn't good was the boba in the Thai iced tea. The tea itself was good, just don't bother paying extra for boba.  (Then again, I just got back from China, my standards for boba are quite high.  But this was chewy in the middle, which boba shouldn't be.)
  
  Do know that though they close at 10, they close the kitchen at 9:30 and start putting chairs onto tables at about that time.  Don't plan on staying much after 9:30.

  To be fair, I had their Pad Thai. Their curries, soups and other noodle dishes might be great, but this was just OK to me.
  
  The tofu pieces were also very small, only slightly bigger than those found in miso soup.

  Working near LAX there's not that much of food options to chose from; but walking around and looking for places I came across Panang Thai and let me tell you, it was great! Once I walked in I was greeted literally by everyone and anyone and we were sat down. We were a pretty big party so they accommodated to our needs and made us feel at home!! Speaking of home the decor was so cute!!
  But anyway the food options were great and they came in a decent portion size! My personal favorite was the pad Thai noodles which brought salad, papaya salad, rice and egg rolls supper yummy!
  
  But yeah if you're in the area, go ahead and try it! It really catered to my needing of food.

  Servers are very rude!!!
  I wouldn't recommend this restaurant if you have a child with you. They don't like your child roaming around. The servers constantly told my friends to sit down and don't let my children walk around. They were only 2 tables occupied by other customers at the time and my kids weren't even loud and crying, we were just playing with them to keep them busy. I asked for a high chair with one of the servers and with a grumpy face she dropped the freaking high chair! We'll never eat here again!

  I should have paid attention to the YELP reviews for this restaurant.  I needed to go somewhere in walking distance of my hotel at the Holiday Inn LAX and this morning was one of the few restaurants nearby. One positive is that they offered a YELP check in for a free ice Thai tea with entree order. I saw on the menu a specialty that I have not eaten in twenty years, since my last visit to Thailand and very hard to find. I decided to try the beef noodle soup and it was such a disappointment.  I ended up having to really doctor it up with fish sauce, chili and sugar in order to bring out the flavors. Not anything like I have had in Vegas or in Thailand. If you come here, do not order this dish. I did see some stir fry with vegetables that looked appetizing and I can't comment on their  curries, since I did not order it.
