Panya Bistro Bakery - Honolulu

I had an incredibly disappointing dining experience, the worst I've encountered in the last decade. I won't go into specifics, but it was even worse than subpar food from a roadside diner. The management of this establishment seems completely clueless. I do feel sorry for the waitress, who was just trying to do her job. I strongly recommend looking for other options; there are plenty of better places out there. Honestly, I hope Panya closes down soon to spare everyone from this unfortunate experience.

Originally intended for breakfast but ended up having brunch instead. The food was fantastic, and the service was excellent. I really enjoyed my meal this time!

This is a lovely new restaurant located in the vibrant and trendy Ward area. The service was excellent, and the food was both creative and well-prepared—delicious all around! The desserts were especially impressive, both in appearance and taste. However, we did encounter a couple of issues. Although we had made a reservation for a table on the lanai, we arrived to find that our spot had been taken by a local celebrity. Additionally, I discovered a bit of steel wool in my dish. Our server handled the situation well, and it wasn't a major issue, but it does make me a bit hesitant to return.

I've been going to Panya for many years and the food is consistent. You can always count on what the food will taste like. Unfortunately, like many businesses, they are short staffed. So be patient, everyone is trying their best.

Service was leisurely so that might have been somewhat of a concern but it worked out satisfactorily. We
