" I was very excited to try Pon's, but unfortunately it did not live up to the hype. The flavors were good in the Pad See Ew, but the portion was smaller than I anticipated. Additionally, the service was a bit disorganized. My order took a long while and when I confronted the staff, they were polite but seemed overwhelmed. I might give it another shot, but my first experience was a bit disappointing. " (*Curated Review*)

" I would rate this place a solid 4 stars! The food was fantastic, no doubt, especially the spicy basil chicken; just the right level of heat. Service was decent, and I saw them preparing the dishes fresh, which is great. The wait time could be an issue for some, but honestly, I think it’s worth it for such fresh, authentic flavors. I’ll definitely be going back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Pon’s Thai Cuisine is a delightful surprise. Nestled in a gas station, it might not look like much but the food is incredible! The green curry is one of the best I've tried; it's authentic, aromatic, and serves generous portions. However, be warned: it can take a long time to get your food. I had to wait about 45 minutes, which was quite noticeable but gave me time to appreciate the atmosphere and the chef's dedication to quality. Definitely a 'come back' place for Thai food lovers like me. " (*Curated Review*)

" This spot truly lives up to the hype! I visited Pon’s with my family and every dish was amazing! The curries are rich and flavorful. The only downside is that it can take a little while. We waited around 40 minutes for our food, but it was comforting to know it was fresh! Would recommend for sure, especially for takeout. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is a true hidden gem! Don’t let its location fool you; the Thai food here is just as good, if not better, than that of higher-end restaurants. I had the pineapple fried rice, and it was bursting with flavor. The portions are generous, too. The only downside is the ambiance; it's definitely a hole in the wall with limited seating. But if you're looking for great takeout, this is the place to go! " (*Curated Review*)

" I stumbled upon Pon's while searching for a quick dinner and I'm so glad I did! The chicken Pad Thai was bursting with flavor and had just the right amount of spice. I appreciated the effort they put into making every dish fresh to order. It's a cozy little spot inside a gas station, which adds to its charm. Just be prepared to wait a bit, but trust me, it's worth it! I'll come back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" This is it! The most authentic Thai experience you can get in Asheville. The chef has a magical touch with her recipes. We tried the crab cheese rolls and never wanted to share. Every bite was flavorful and rich. Only bet is to call your order in ahead of time; they get busy, and waiting is inevitable. But patience is a virtue here. Highly recommend trying their mango sticky rice for dessert too! " (*Curated Review*)
