Panan Thai Restaurant in Calderdale

Called in by chance and what a great find. Authentic dishes served piping hot and great friendly service too. Will definately be calling again. Excellent.

Love your food. Its so great that you deliver up in Sowerby. It is always piping hot and really tasty. Thank you

Beautiful, authentic Thai food. So fresh. We love it here, the service is great, relaxed atmosphere and the food is seriously good.

First, and probably last visit. Staff very friendly, starters excellent, but I had a chicken stir fry, which was impossible to eat. Two mouthfuls and my tongue and lips were stinging. It was so hot neither of us could eat it. There was no mention of this on the menu. It as as if I was ting a bowl of crushed chilliest.

We had a lovely meal here, authentically prepared, tasty Thai fish cakes to start as part of mixed starters. Spicy jungle curry for mains and massoman for my wife. Friendly hosts and a definite note for a return visit when we are next in Sowerby Bridge.

I enjoyed the food. Was abit spicy but other than that was really tasty! I would definitely go visit here again

been here 6 times the food is excellent well cooked by Thai women In full view of the clients which is what i love a bit like Italian restaurants where they show you their kitchens if asked --nothing to hide. i usually have soup with chicken, prawns noodles and veg in a coconut sauce forgot name but really tasty but you need a bib so you don,t spill !! then weeping tiger sirloin steak grilled to your liking then sliced on mixed veg and sprouts ,wife fish cakes then Thai green curry with rice delicious wine beers never any more than 52.00 ps they do a sweet which is sticky rice with cinnamon and sliced fresh mango that is to die for .You don,t usually have to book and they do early bird also. Do try it it is excellent

We went to this Thai restaurant last weekend - My partner had previously never tried Thai food before, I was a little put off by the general decor and cafe like style of the place, but the food was sublime. We all had starters - mine was king prawn - yum! We all ended up with Thai red curry in various guises - king prawn, chicken, beef etc. Absolutely wonderful

Popped in for a midweek meal and was so impressed! Fabulous food, lovely staff & a great bottle of wine. I'm a big fan on Thai food and am so pleased this place is just down the road offering high quality Thai food.

Fantastic little place Food and staff are great Lunch special menu are all good Thai curries are so tasty! Will be returning xx

Our first visit here since moving to the area and we were not disappointed.Superb food quality & friendly, helpful (helping us decide what to have from the menu) service. Great value for money. Booked to visit again with friends on sat:) look forward to return visit.

waited an hour never got the starters..small portions and mine was cold and under cooked. there were 3 other couples and it was the same for them even though we were strangers we started laughing together looking for the hidden camera. if basil fawlty had been thai this was his place we all wanted to walk out but it was so bad we just sat and laughed.. bloody awful

The staff are wonderfully hospitable here and cooked the most authentic and delicious food. I love Thai food and this restaurant did not let me down. I will definitely be going back. My friend and I thought the food choices were excellent. If you are looking for somewhere genuine, atmospheric and yummy food. This is the place.

This place has been on my Sowerby Bridge restaurants to visit list for a while now. I finally called in tonight and what a delight it was. The staff was very attentive and given the huge range on the menu they were very patient waiting for our order. The food was cooked in view, it was fresh succulent, aromatic and fragrant with the south asian regional herbs. The classic singha bottled beer was just the ticket to wash down the meal. My only regret...? I didn't leave room enough to try their dessert menu! I can't wait to go back.

Myself and my partner visited the restaurant for a second time a couple of days ago. We like our Thai meals and we have a new favourite in the Halifax area. We find the price, service, meal portions and fresh taste. They do an early bird menu which is £10 for a starter and main course, often with these deals the portions are reduced but at Panan they still provide decent sized meals. I will be returning very soon.

Visitamos Panan tailandés el sábado para comer algo. Apoyamos la mayoría cocinas tailandesa más ya que es fresco y sabroso. La comida era lo que esperábamos, un montón de sabor y tamaño decente porciones. No nos gustó el arroz pegajoso, ya que era un gran trozo. Se puede decir que el restaurante es nuevo, como cuando empezó a estar ocupada no había suficientes menús. Yo diría que el restaurante es más tradicional que moderno. Las mujeres tailandesas son amables y serviciales.

Our family love it here, the service is friendly and they are always helpful and happy to customise dishes for us (we are veggie and one of my boys in gluten intolerant).It is always really good value and the food is really tasty. I prefer it to the other Thai places in Halifax.They also seem to have a few choices on the menu I haven't seen at other Thai places (as well as the favourites you would expect)Kitchen is open plan so you can see (and smell) the food being made. It's lovely.

We will definitely back to this restaurant. We came on a Saturday eve (not booked) to be greeted by friendly staff. We ordered a seafood platter to share as a starter with Thai fish cakes, dim sum and calamari. The food was fresh and bursting with flavour. Our main courses were a rendang curry and a duck salad served with rice. Both again were beautifully presented, packed with fresh herbs and spices and we didn't want the meal to end. I've heard people in the town mention there are long waiting times. We didn't have to wait a long time at all plus if I came back and I did I wouldn't mind waiting for the delicious food this restaurant produces. Well worth a visit.

We visited on a Friday night around 7.30pm. The restaurant wasn't too busy which is a real shame as the food & service is amazing. We were seated at the end of the restaurant so had views out over the river, it was great to look out at the water & Sowerby Bridge's infamous geese! We had vegetable & duck spring rolls to start which were freshly made, delicious & a generous portion. I had a beef red curry made spicy for the main course which was cooked to perfection and nicely spiced with chillies but not OTT.We also shared a rather nice bottle of Malbec.When the bill arrived we checked it & it all seemed to be in order but as we were paying the server said the bill was wrong, (too much) and reduced it by £25! It just goes to show we thought the original bill was value for money but to have it reduced by so much really shows how reasonably priced and most of all honest the staff are. We had a great time & will definitely be back!

Have been here few times since it opened and already have a favourite dish, although every one I have tried has been spot on! I am vegan so wanted to check that fish sauce was not used in the dishes I ordered, the staff were so helpful and even showed me the bottle of the sauce they would use instead which was really nice of them, and now I don't have to ask as they know :) amazing and every person who I have taken here loves it too, I hope to be a regular! Plus the prices are extremely reasonable too!

This restaurant is tucked away in Sowerby Bridge. The service is friendly, the food is delicious and the prices are reasonable. We sat at the back of the restaurant which has windows overlooking the river, however, the kitchen extractor fans run overhead and can be a bit noisy. I am likely to return, as it is probably the best food in Sowerby Bridge, the "Weeping Tiger" sizzling beef was really tender and the thai fish cakes were much nicer than many I have tried elsewhere.

We had a really good meal here, pleasantly served by attentive staff. We will go back having recently moved.It is in Sowerby Bridge not Halifax so could be reassigned.

Great food. Lovely polite staff. Good price. Give it a go - we especially enjoyed the fried chicken starter and authentic red thai curry!!

I've been to a lot of thai restaurants, be it local or commercial, which brings me to leaving this little gem a little bit of my time for some feedback. One of my favourite dishes ever since discovering it upon visiting my family in New Orleans is the Pad Thai. I almost always judge every thai restaurant through their pad thai. Panan Thai isn't one to disappoint, they served Pad Thai in a very presentable and traditional way. It was very flavoursome and had a homecooked feel to it which adds to its authenticity. I also ordered some dim sum to go with it and that too was delicious. Whilst waiting, me and my friend were served with their traditional thai prawn crackers which I've always found better than the white chinese prawn crackers but that's my own opinion. The staff were very lovely and polite, checking back on the food and experience when necessary without being obtrusive. Overall, very nice and well cooked authentic thai food they serve, with their very affordable prices.

On our first visit to this restaurant we went with friends who have been before. Before the panan Thai this restaurant was formally known as dandelion and burdock. The staff were very friendly and helpful . The food was prepared fresh and was very flavoursum, Good choice on menu , full wine list, no draught beer, but authentic Thai bottled beers. The price was slightly high, but the food was good. We also received a complimentry desert to share. My only criticism was the poor access to the toilets which are down stairs quite steep and narrow, so no disable access to the toilets. Worth a visit.

We visited as a small group for a celebratory meal. This restaurant is comparatively new and has replaced a vegan restaurant in the same location. It was a Thursday night and very quiet. We were the only guests and as a result the atmosphere of a busy restaurant was lacking. The food was a slightly long time in preparation, indicating that it was freshly prepared. The wait was certainly worthwhile as all agreed that their meals were very delicious.
