“ We stumbled upon Pasong’s after a very hectic week. Who knew it was just what we needed! We had the most amazing experience!! The atmosphere is welcoming and cozy. Lots of cool art. The service was friendly and warm- the owner even came out and said hello! The food was like nothing we have ever had. The literal best Thai I’ve EVER HAD.
