Consistently good food

by seraphina31

I've lived in several Asian countries and enjoy being able to visit Faan and revel in a specific few dishes. (I'm the kind of person who finds a good dish and will order it repeatedly).

The martinis are ridiculously strong, but its the Chicken Panang Curry that I go back for which reminds me very much of Malaysia. The pad thai/flat noodles are a little on the oily side (deducted one star for that), but i love how consistent this place is and how they are always quick with the service (and the free edamame).

Try the Chicken Panang, and you can't go wrong!

• Pros: Prices, taste, service
• Cons: Oiliness to noodle dishes

Mystery Beef

by indigenousnewyorker

I ordered the Beef Panang Curry here. Never have I eaten beef with the suspicious consistency i found in this dish - chewey and rubbery and just downright inexplicable. While chewing, I felt like I was never going to being able digest it. I have eaten here before (mostly sushi) - and have ordered-in numerous times in the past with success. Not sure what's going on here now. Be safe - don't order the Beef Panang.

• Pros: Nice decor, Accepts Amex, etc.
• Cons: Bad Beef

Go somewhere else

This place was so bad. But maybe it was because it was like 2 in the morning when i went to the restaurant. We ordered chicken skewers, dumplings and something like silky spice seafood noodle soup-- everything was gross -- even the dumplings. Service was pretty fast & efficient.

• Pros: Fast service, open late
• Cons: Food is gross and unedible when you're sober
