We dined at this restaurant when it first opened a couple of years back. Last night we returned (26 May 2012).
We have a 9 year old daughter and her palette needs to be considered when dining on fare that is so strongly flavoured with spices. Panny Thai offers a range of dishes from Mild to Hot with variations of medium in between. They are 100% true to their word and description.
We ordered a yellow curry and a stir fry to share accompanied by coconut rice and Pad Thai. Let me say, their coconut rice and Pad Thai is the best I have had. The dishes were just delicious, with flavours that warmed and pleased my taste buds and stomach. Just beautiful.
The restaurant seat about forty, and was relatively full last night and is the right size as even when it is full it is intimate enough to feel like a night out together rather than a stop and a massive venue.
The staff were welcoming, friendly and professional. They were just lovely and you didn't feel uncomfortable or neglected. Our meal came to around $40.00 which included drinks and a dessert for my daughter and we couldn't finish all the dishes.
Most families have a "trusty", a favourite restaurant where they love the food and the staff, a place they feel comfortable and choose to be there for all it stands for and other times because they can't decide upon anything else. Panny Thai has become our "Trusty."

Great service, staff are very friendly and informative. The range could be bigger, but it is quite a small location, so it's easy to see why it is how it is.

We had breakfast there. Pretty standard breakfast menu, but what we had was nice. They all seem to go for Huge meals. Shame more don’t offer a choice of medium or large meals rather than us leaving a third of an enjoyable meal. There was only one waitress, not sure if there are normally more on a Saturday morning but, although there aren’t many tables, she seemed to not be able to coordinate her serving and coffee making all that well.
But all in all, I will probably eat there again. You couldn’t complain about being rushed, that’s for sure. Ambience is not really all that relevant in a place like this so I opted for average because you have to give it a score.

We ordered the rabbit, which read the praise of chiefs and visitors at the entrance. In the course of a meal (already in the mouth) showed a long, black hair, is clearly not rabbit. Immediately we called the waiter and pointed to it. He offered to bring again the same dish, of course we refused. After that to us before the end of dinner, nobody of the staff came up with no apologies, no proposals of any presents. We have only received an apology when we were given a receipt. Thanks Le Parisien for memorable dinner with eating hair.

We had prawn tom yum, beef red curry and Thai beef salad. Big juicy prawns and very nicely seared beef. Although I would prefer the curry less sweet and the salad with more greens, overall we enjoyed the food and would be back if we go to Geelong.

Has the potential to be a great centre but is very run down and for what you pay you don't get alot for your child. The equipment all seems old or damaged and the director is never there.

This review is more for one particular staff member, I have been to the store before and the service was perfectly fine, but this team member (had only been working for a few weeks) was just fabulous! She went out of her way to make my experience shopping for a ring exciting and special. Value rating down because let's face it, mark ups at any jewellers are huge so value wise not great, but in saying this, no worse than anywhere else, particularly considering the great quality you are getting!

Only done lunch there. It seats a lot of people, so when it’s packed, the service isn’t instant but, hey, if you are out for a relaxing Sunday lunch with good company then it’s nice to not be rushed so that can be a bonus as long as you aren’t in a hurry or very hungry. Can’t complain about the size of the serves or the cost. Very reasonable lunch time prices and the food is tasty so it’s a winner for that Sunday lunch on a nice afternoon. Definitely get my vote for another lunch out and about.

Not sure how “real” the thai food is here, it seems pretty much the same as most thai places but the food is nice. Can’t knock the quality or quantity. There are only four tables, I think their main focus is take away, so, to be safe, you would probably need to book if you really wanted a sit down meal there. Given the number of tables, it is quiet and the service is good because they aren’t overrun with people.
Prices are reasonable, though a little more than some thai places. All in all, happy to eat there again.

This is a beautiful looking restaurant, however, the food was poor portions were tiny and the service was shocking after waiting 20 minutes for our booked table to be clear we waited 45 minutes to be given a menu which I had to go to the bar and ask for after waiting a further 30 minutes I went to the bar to ask if we could order.
Our drinks were never served and it took 3 hours from the time we arrived at the restaurant until we received our food. The senior staffs did not offer an apology and didn't care. The food was clearly reheated and the banquet was tiny and mislabled I have never been to a greek restaurant that doesn't serve a sauce or yogurt with their meat, especially when its as dry as it was, until eating here. Other diners were even more disappointed near us and refused to pay for their meal. I definitely won't be back.

The staff here aren't too friendly. Was a good place to go if you want a cheaper seafood option. Might recommend it but many more nice places for seafood in Geelong. 3/10 for service and friendliness of staff. 4/10 for food.
