Customer Review: Thai Girl Gives it Thumbs Up
I am Thai, and my family has been using this since they lived in Bangkok. This is authentic as it gets, as this is a pure product of Thailand. All I can say is: Aroi, mak mak kcc! (Thai for "very very delicious")
Customer Review: The perfect brand of red curry
This brand of red curry is authentic and perfect. I applaud other domestic companies for trying to replicate this, but they cannot touch this product. Mae Ploy red curry is excellent. Once you learn to make curry, you can't stop! Even making Panang Nur, this curry is wonderful.

From their website, Pangea's staff writes, "Meant to be enjoyed among friends, Pangea is a dining experience, likened to a trip around the globe, of fine cuisine and premier spirits from every corner of our world."

Located in Fig Garden Village, Fresno

No, instead, this 'All Earth' is very chic and sophisticated. From the walls to the tables to the sign on the door, I was really impressed at how the earth tone elements mixed with modern furniture designs. Basically, its stone age meets futuristic steel. Very hot! At Pangea, the experience goes way beyond the design and the furniture.

Because I had to hit six other restaurants in the next two hours, I did not get to stay at Pangea for more than a few minutes. But I promised myself, I would be back real soon. And I made good on my promise, returning later with two friends. We went for a late lunch, but ended up just ordering drinks and filling up on appetizers at the bar.

Over the last few years, we have seen quite a growth in the number of really good restaurants opening up in Fresno. Now, it is time to add Pangea to the top of that list.

Pangea California roll in soy paper ($8) You really can't go wrong ordering a California roll anywhere. But I've not found any one who does it better than the Sushi makers of Pangea.

Actually, that was a good choice because we each ordered a few appetizers, a few drinks, gorged on the free bread and hung out for a while. Since it was not very crowded, we were able to ask the bar and wait staff for their suggestions on which appetizers they thought rocked.

Opening Up the Appetizer Menu at Fresno's Pangea Restaurant

My first foray into Pangea was back in late December. I stopped in while doing a story on New Year's Eve dining around the Central Valley. From what I have learned, the name Pangea, when translated, means 'All Earth.' Very earthy, huh? Well, don not let the name fool you. There are no hippy lovefest earth-children from the 60s serving you recycled food or making you wear hemp clothing.

I have been back for drinks several more times; often ordering the same exact appetizer feast. Maybe next time, I will actually go for dinner and try one their extraordinary sounding dinner entrees. Hope to see you there doing the same.

And let us not forget the bread and the amazing Roasted Red Pepper Hummus. Man, they could just sell that as an appetizer and I would be there all the time.

The website goes on to say, "At Pangea Restaurant, our global flavors range from Pacific Rim and Latin to Mediterranean and Italian, and eclectic California Cuisine. Because our menu consists of various small plates; larger than typical tapas and smaller than an entree, we refer to our menu as 'global small plates.' We encourage the sharing of our dishes, which allows everyone to try many of our items in one sitting in an elegant, casual and fun environment."

Seared beef nigiri, asparagus & enoki mushroom with wasabi aioli ($5.00) This tops the list of my favorite appetizers of all time. The beef is sweet and tangy, which goes perfect with the asparagus. The taste is intensified by the wasabi aioli. Nice!

I agree! Pangea is very eclectic-chic. In fact, it is a very new, different experience for the uber-traditional style of the Central Valley.

Located in the heart of Fig Garden Village in Fresno, Pangea is the sister establishment to another great restaurant, Campagnia. With a family connection like that, Pangea automatically gets extra points from me.

Ginger and garlic poached bok choy ($3) When we first decided to order this, I wasn't so sure I was going to like it. But for three bucks, I was willing to take a chance. It was pretty tasty. I was shocked, surprised and eventually, ordered a second round for the table.

Well, thank you staff members. You were right four out of four times. Here is the rundown of our appetizer feast and the prices (which are highly affordable).
