Hamamatsu, Shizuoka, Japan｜パンガン

Awesome Thai food with super friendly staff.

The store is located in a residential area and is a renovated private house, so it may be a little difficult to find. However, this Thai restaurant has been featured on local TV programs many times, so I thought it was becoming more well-known, so I went to eat there. I think the quality of Thai food is very high. It's reasonably priced, and the inside of the store is decorated to give you a Thai feel. Thai food didn't really suit my taste, but my family liked it, so I think it tastes great. It was a good opportunity to try foreign cuisine. If you have never experienced it before, please give it a try.

After shopping at Costco, I was looking for a restaurant open for lunch when I discovered it on Google Maps and visited it. We were guided down a narrow residential street and arrived at a private house in a residential area. If you look closely, you'll see a signboard, and the path that originally led to the garden has been converted into a store entrance. There was a signboard that said it was open, but it was actually a private house, so I hesitated for a moment to enter, but I saw a customer entering the store earlier, so I went in. The exterior looks like a Japanese private house, but the inside has an exotic feel, and even though I've never been to Thailand, it has a ``Thai-like'' feel to it. The female staff member at the restaurant very carefully explained the restaurant to us, including how it is the only restaurant in western Shizuoka recognized by the Thai government, and how it was recently interviewed on TV. Although it is a private house, it seems to be a famous shop in Shizuoka. It was a weekday, so I was able to get in, but I might not have been able to get in on Saturdays and Sundays. At lunch time, there were 3 types and 1 course meal for 2 people, and they explained it very carefully. Not only the contents of each course, but also explanations on how to eat the dishes before ordering! The chef who came to take our order spoke a bit of broken Japanese, but since he was Japanese, maybe he was just shy. You will receive the exquisite Moo Yan set. The appetizer, fresh spring rolls, is delicious with a punch of spiciness from the chili sauce, and comes with bean rice crackers. Moo yang is grilled pork served with coriander and other herbs and vegetables, giving it a delicious taste of Thai cuisine that you don't usually get. The rice was sticky rice served in a basket, Thai style! Lunch includes a drink. I discovered this store by chance, but it seems to be a famous store. I'm also very interested in other dishes such as rice noodles, so I definitely want to go to this restaurant again. Thank you for the meal! It was written that small children were not allowed in the store, so it is best to visit this store with adults only. There are a lot of spicy foods in the first place, so I think it's tough in that respect as well.
