   We had an early lunch so decided to order three appetizers to share. The spring rolls and the Lup Lup were great, the shrimp gyoza was fine but needed more flavor. The yuzu mojito and mimosas hit the spot, very refreshing! Service was excellent from recommendations to timely visits to our table, to taking some photos for us.

   Main issue was with the greeter. When we got there, she said nothing to us, didn't smile nor welcome us. Told her we had a res, then sat us. No "enjoy your meal" or anything. A simple welcome or smile would be appreciated. It's the first impression of the restaurant and if your greeter/hostess acts like a b*#$%, it kind of turns you off to the rest of the experience. Other than that, food was good, we were lucky enough to get the last strawberry shortcake. Wait staff was great and friendly.

    Initially, the service was attentive. After we ordered, the wait staff hardly came around. Our food was brought out one hour after we ordered it, and only after we flagged down the server twice to check on the order. There were only 3 of us, and one of the entrees that was supposed to be served hot, was not: it had obviously been sitting on the counter for a long time. That friend had to get out of her seat to get a staff member's attention to inform them about the tepid dish. The other two entrees were freshly made. It didn't seem to be all that busy or hectic; there were no parties waiting for a table and our reservation was at 1:00. It was 1:20 pm when we ordered.

    The price charged for a glass of wine was more than that listed on the menu; I felt this to be a little deceptive. Outside dining was quite noisy. The dinner was good as always and service was good. My dining companions enjoyed their meals as well. I had the tiramisu for dessert, which was not very good. I ate half then threw away the rest. I would recommend Panya to a friend only with caveats.

    Our waitress took a long time to bring us our food, refill our drinks and give us the bill. She also had a negative vibe while trying to be nice. She asked my friend that was with me if she switched parking tickets, she said cause some people do that, mind you I didn’t even have a parking ticket.

    Great outdoor seating. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Food was excellent. Taiwan Beef Noodles, Currey Laksa, Shoyu Fish with Tofu, and Pork Chops in spicy black bean sauce were the items we ordered. Everything was wonderful. We've had a variety of the items on their menu over the years and always consistently tasty!!!

    Panya is always a great spot for casual dining - one of our favorite place to go to! Slightly high on pricing, but I think everywhere price have gone up. Our server was Stephanie - very attentive, courteous and came back to check on us several times after we got our food. We had an enjoyable date night!

    The world food tour continued …. At Panya Bistro in the Hokua condo. We stopped in for an early dinner after seeing Beautiful at the Concert Hall (a bravura performance by the cast). We arrived early (4pm) so the restaurant was pretty empty but were told by the hostess about their 90-minute time limit policy. Okay, better to tell us up front than during our meal. Service was leisurely so that might have been somewhat of a concern but it worked out in the end. We started with a couple of Hendricks gin and tonics with limes instead of the more proper slice of cucumber. A very refreshing beginning …though I wish bartenders would note what garnish goes with certain gins. We ordered three dishes: Pork Chops over fried rice, Pad Thai with chicken and Stir Fried Vegetables with Beef. First off, the pork chop dish is huge! Slices of breaded boneless chops are placed over a subtle fried rice (Chinese style … on the drier side) and covered with a very sweet tomato sauce. The texture and taste reminded me of waffles with maple syrup. It was very good but the sweetness of the tomato sauce was off-putting to me; not bad, but unexpected. The Pad Thai was fine; nothing to complain about. The highlight dish for me was the stir fried vegetables with beef. The vegetables (broccoli, green beans, slices of carrot and mushroom) were crisp and the cubes of beef were very tender. The sauce was thin but savory; it let the beautiful vegetables take center stage. I could have just eaten this dish with a bowl of rice. No room for dessert but I finished my meal with a Vietnamese iced coffee. The coffee was excellent and shone through the generous serving of milk. So cool and refreshing; I could have consumed two glasses. Final thoughts … we hadn’t been to Panya Bistro in a long time; the food was very good and the service was fine (we left after 93 minutes). Parking in the Hokua is convenient and free with validation. Best of all, the prices were very reasonable.

    The service was poor & very slow and and request like ice for your iced tea or water which had melted, required several “ask” before we’d receive the ice. Each waiter was not personable at all. Very disappointing, used to love this place.

    It was good except after one hour of being there we were told the next party was waiting for the table. We had been told that we could be there for a max of 90 minutes. So we were kind of surprised by that

    3 friends & I were celebrating a birthday and have not gathered in a while we specially chose Panya since we remember it to be cozy, welcoming snd pleasant but we were quite disappointed because once we arrived we were told that we needed to quickly put in our order because the kitchen was closing we weren’t even welcomed yet? Seemed there was no pleasantness with the waitress at all seemed she was just there like a robot just to take our order, rarely checked on us. For the most part of the night I saw five employees including her gathering behind the cash register most of our dinner and we were there for only an hour and a half at the most. Hopefully nxt time will be better?

    Overall we had a very nice experience. They accomodated us outside on the patio and had our table ready on schedule. The service was very good. Attentive and friendly servers. The only knock is that they undercooked my meat. Asked for well done and got medium rare. Rather than make a fuss I choked it down. Otherwise will probably return.

    10 person table on an early Tuesday night (5:30) . No one appeared to be waiting yet we were told we had to leave at the 90 minute mark. Service for the 10 top was lacking. Entrees came out significantly staggered. Tap beer was not working. Out of several bottled beers on the menu. Zero management concern as to how our dinner was progressing. Foo was good as always but would not recommend for business dinner or large parties.
