Feedback
Tucked in Hackettstown, this restaurant offers a vibrant yet polarizing dining experience. Patrons appreciate the diverse menu, highlighting standout dishes like the Massaman lamb shank, quinoa salad, and unique kids' meals. Service is often praised for its friendliness, though inconsistency leads to some disappointing experiences; reports of inattentive staff and bland flavors mar the appeal. Despite concerns over ingredient transparency and questionable takeout practices, the restaurant's lively ambiance and extensive options, including vegan and dim sum choices, attract a loyal following. With a mix of admiration and critique, it seems patrons remain divided, yet hopeful for a more consistent culinary journey.
We had an amazing dining experience at this restaurant. The menu options were very unique and there were so many dishes we wanted to try. Everything we ordered was excellent, particularly the lamb shank and bang bang chicken and shrimp (although we wish they had given a bit more shrimp). What really impressed us, as a family of five, were the creative and interesting kids' meals. The 4 sate skewers with sticky rice were perfect for one child, while another enjoyed the buttered noodle with Thai rice noodle, coconut, and peanut flavors. We are looking forward to returning to try the weekend dim sum.
I would give this restaurant a perfect 10 out of 10. The curry is fantastic and the spinach artichoke fried dumplings are a must-order every time. The dim sum on weekends is even more amazing. The service is good and you can see the woman in the kitchen preparing everything. It's also BYOB, which is a great added bonus.
Went back yesterday after a long time and was VERY disappointed. The food was coming out way to quick. Pad Siew was soupy. If I wanted soup noodles I would've gone somewhere else. Pad Siew usually has broccoli as you can see in this picture it has broccoli stems. It looks like left over food... this was my favorite place. Not sure if I will be going back again.
Love this place!! Delicious food.. I tried many different menu items and they were all good.
Pandan Room is one of my favorite restaurants for Asian food! I’ve eaten here almost a dozen times over the past few years and it’s always amazing. They have very good vegan options listed, but you can also ask for dishes to be made vegan. The inside is very nice and overall it’s a beautiful place to eat. The curries and noodles are all delicious. The vegan wings are also amazing! Honestly everything I’ve had here has been great. Updated from previous review on 04/02/2024
