Panoy Bistro - Laotian restaurant in Grass Valley - 442 Colfax Ave, USA

Amazing food. Had their Fresh Rolls, Tum Som (Papaya Salad), Ginger Curry with Beef and Naga Noodle with Pork, all level 1 of Laos heat index. Super tasty. Next time will try higher heat number.

On our way to Tahoe we stopped by this place since it looked good on reviews. We were seated right away but didnt realize they closed at 2pm and we got their at 1:15 pm. Server seemed annoyed, not friendly, not sure why. We ordered Vao Vieng Bbq Pork and Lao Honey noodles. Bbq pork looked like the portion was small but I got full after the dish. Strong soy sauce flavor, maybe too salty so I had to order rice on the side. No rice comes with dish. Came with 3 different dipping sauce for the pork and they were tasty. Lao Honey Noodles had great flavor, but noodles were about 50% of the dish while vegetables were just as much. In the pic you would expect all noodles but underneath the noodles was bunch of cabbage. Overall I probably wont be coming back here, although their menu has interesting things I want to try. Maybe off day for the server.

I went twice this week because it was so good the first time. I've had the naga noodles and the tom yum noodles both were fantastic. They have good options for how spicy you want the food. The service was great, waitress was funny and kind. Everyone we went with both times loved their meals. I'll definitely go back.

Stumbled upon a gem in Grass Valley - serving many choices of Lao food, made with fresh ingredients and exotic spices. I had Crying Tiger Noodles and it was awesome. My partner had the BBQ Pork, and we shared some crispy Spring Rolls, lovely veggies only. They served great Lao sweet tea and sweet coffee, plus good cold beer. New fave!

I don't know how this place doesn't have 5 stars. This is mine and my wife's favorite place to eat in all of Grass Valley/Nevada City. The food is beyond amazing, never have I been to a restaurant where literally everything on the menu is incredible. I typically always order the same thing when I go out, but when I come to Panoy Bistro I always try something new and end up loving it. We come AT LEAST once a month but crave it almost on a daily basis. The food is so out of this world -- completely loaded with the best spices I have ever tasted. Thank you Panoy Bistro, can't wait to see you soon!

I am beyond picky about my food. Sometimes healthy food has no flavor and especially for us vegans. This place was amazing. Really great food and I love the decor. Ate in the outside patio. I’m here from out of town for work so it was nice obviously my first time trying this place through a recommendation from a work colleague. Wish they had this restaurant in my hometown. While I’m here I will be back!

The waitress wasn’t kind and welcoming. She never came by to check on us. But the food was good(one small hair in the soup) , and as a sidenote, every interaction we had with her we use, please and thank you. It’s not for a lack of trying, that she was rude to us. She was just rude for no reason.

Ok, glad I’m not the only one who had a weird interaction with the staff. We seated ourselves in a corner booth while promptly being handed menus then forgot about for nearly 10mins. We ordered spring rolls just cause we were starving and wanted to get something quick, and they came out over fried to the point that they all had exploded. Not a big deal. The thing with the menu is that everything is a la cart. You have to order rice with the dish if you want it. Great, cool. Little did we know the portion sizes are extremely small. I ordered the Emerald Curry which came in a little bowel with a huge spoon and a side of rice big enough for maybe five bites. Once the food was delivered the server disappeared to play with pumpkins and other halloween decor while we were left at the table waiting to order more food to complete our experience. I ended up walking over and asking for the check after about 10 mins of expecting a follow-up on satisfaction of the meal. The experience was lame. For $50 we left hungry and offended
