About Panna Thai

Panna Thai turns out generous, deeply comforting Thai curries and stir-fried noodles on St Georges Road without the wait. Midweek diners rely on the kitchen for speed—orders routinely hit tables in five minutes flat. Wide rice ribbons in the Pad See Ew come kissed with proper wok hei, beef pad Thai heat levels can be dialed in on request, and the chicken green curry arrives packed with vegetables. Exposed brick and a wall mural give the room an intimate, relaxed hum, while the kitchen dispatches crunchy barramundi and rich massaman beef to long tables sharing coconut rice.

  • Rapid kitchen turnaround: Dishes routinely land on tables within five minutes, making dinner hassle-free on busy weeknights.
  • Tailored spice levels: The kitchen will adjust chili heat levels on noodle favorites like beef pad Thai to personal taste.
  • Generous portions: Large bowls of massaman curry, crispy barramundi, and wok-tossed noodles give hungry tables genuine value.
