Excellent, flavorful, authentic, versatile, easy to use.I use this paste for Thai red curry and to make a Laotian dish called Nam Khao, which is a crispy rice salad.This is my favorite red Thai curry paste!! A little goes a long way and it’s packed with flavor. I’d say it’s barely spicy so if you like spice you’ll need to add that in however you like.Overall great and is something always in my pantry!

This curry paste is AMAZING! You DO need to use it properly. Warm the paste up in a pan, slowly add the coconut milk, heat thoroughly, add honey to taste, and then it tastes exactly like what you pay a lot for in your favorite Thai restaurant. This is the real deal. Check out the ingredients and the percentages : D Put on white rice and add whatever protein you like to the sauce (duck, shrimp, chicken). It's REALLY delicious.

It’s a great option for anyone looking to make Thai food at home without the complexity of grinding fresh spices, and it's especially appreciated by those who enjoy traditional Thai flavors.

I like that this Dec 2024 purchase of Panang Curry Paste arrived with a June 2026 expiration date. That was a relief, since some reviews pointed out a much too soon expiration date on a new purchase.EDIT after using: (I found that the spice level is not as high as it was a few years ago. Maybe it's just the batch I received that is not as spicy, but the flavor is still great.)I've used this product for several years and find it is the very best way to make fast Thai dishes that taste like they came from a restaurant. Turn your rotisserie chicken leftovers into a curry or soup!It's spicy, so use sparingly and add to taste, knowing coconut milk tames the heat.Cooking tip to replace lemongrass in recipes is to substitute lemon and lime zest, and use some lemon and lime juice in the recipe, to taste. It's really worth the effort to uses fresh ginger since it takes any recipe to the next level.

Very authentic and tasty red curry paste, but fairly salty, so must use less of other salty condiments (like fish sauce, soy sauce) in recipes. That's fine if you know it, and can tweak those other seasonings by taste before serving.

This is so good. Unfortunately, this container doesn't last long, even in the fridge, after you open it. I've freezed what I could to make it last longer. If you make a lot of Thai food, then this is worth it. I've only made this once and the dish came out delicious, but I have a short window to use the rest until it expires. I will probably order another container though. There's nothing like making an authentic Thai recipe. So worth it.

We love this brand curry paste. I’ve tried the red, green, Penang and yellow. The yellow is the mildest and the kids favorite. It really has a nice authentic restaurant flavor and very easy to make. You only need 1 tablespoon and a can of coconut milk. Then add any protein/veggies of your choice!

This is what you want when making massaman curry. It makes my home cooking taste just like my favorite restaurant, without the long drive. the paste is in a plastic bag inside the tub. Contains enough you should be able to make multiple batches. Delicious!
