Downtown Leesburg is home to 12 blocks of quaint businesses, antique shops . . . and a gas station-slash-restaurant? Yep, inside Liberty Gas Station is one of Leesburg’s unsuspecting top destinations for yummy Thai dishes: Thai Pan Restaurant.
With an overall 4.5 star rating on Yelp, it’s no wonder people have been flocking to Thai Pan. Hint: it’s not for the humble décor or view of the city.
Their food is the real deal.
With a menu chock full of everything you could want from a full-fledged Thai restaurant: authentic dishes like Panang curry swimming in coconut, garlic-ginger chicken, fresh spring rolls served with homemade peanut butter dip, Thai Pan proves that it’s worth not judging a restaurant by its location/exterior.
Plus they offer dining in or take-out, savory desserts and vegetarian options – and all for around $10 or less. Despite sharing square footage with the convenience store, Thai Pan maintains a diner-friendly atmosphere.
It just goes to show that you can fill up on gas and have your Thai, too.
