AmateurConciergeJuly 10, 2015Japanese pastries are delicious and unique. Sweet and savory. Divinely buttered and lightly fried (?) This is the spicy curry which I believe has miso paste as a base.
KatySeptember 22, 2017Japanese Curry togo - don't judge the plating. The taste, piping hotness and pickles are all nice touches. Wide selection of Baked Goods. They will slice your bread loaf into thin or thick cuts too.
Japanese breakfast with white fish or salmon all day for just 11 dollars. delicious and healthy
K WuDecember 2, 2016I get their bento boxes for lunch or dinner at least three times a week. Around $6-7 and a good variety. My favourite is the miso salmon. The onigiri aren't amazing, but they're cheap and filling.
AlexJune 13, 2015soba is amazing cold or hot. lots of matcha pastries and other Japanese treats that are really cheap!!
VivOctober 13, 2013Get the Japanese breakfast. Great value, variety and so tasty. You get a choice of whitefish or salmon. $10 at the time of writing.
Becca McArthurApril 24, 2013The spicy tuna bun is awesome- brings together two of my all-time faves: pastry and spicy fish! Perfect for lunch on-the-go or as a snack while exploring the East Village.
Meir SadanJuly 12, 2013Great place for a cheap lunch – get a bento box from the fridge and heat it in their microwave. You should also get some weird Japanese candy or pastry for dessert.
Harumi UDecember 1, 2014Great variety of baked goods but also have lots of lunch food types of food. You can find some of their goods at Sunrise Mart as well
The $1.95 onigiri are ridiculously yummy and a great snack on the go! 🍙
Great Japanese bread and bakery items. Their raisin bread is my favorite and the coffee is good with milk and sugar.
ChenyuAugust 22, 2013Tuna with seaweed bun is awesome! (The tuna has no mayo or extra sauce) the bun/bread is quite thin !
Get the ham&cheese croissant and Korokes and cheesesticks. Personally like the chai tea and tuna onigiri. I love everything about this place!
Village VoiceJanuary 18, 2013Forget bagels - Panya offers a traditional bento-box style Japanese breakfast consisting of everything from miso soup to lightly seared salmon.
The spicy tuna bun (the one with a sheet of nori on top) makes a highly portable and filling lunch. Perfect to pack for a flight or long train/bus ride.
ju juNovember 21, 2017a classic!!!!! have the curry bread only when its fresh. have the spicy tuba sandwich. have matcha!
Christine WongFebruary 25, 2015try the green tea an pan! :) it's a green tea bun with red bean paste inside, and is really delicious :) :)
Maya RNovember 30, 2014Japanese breakfast may be the best deal in the neighbourhood. Fish, rice, soup, salad plus more for a little over $10.
Derrick KwanMarch 25, 2019Big fan of their miso salmon and rice. It seems like they changed the packaging and upped the price recently though!
Ms HeleneJune 21, 2017Cheap and basic sushi rolls, salads and cut fruit in addition to baked goods for a healthy snack
Zev Levit-RamosSeptember 28, 2018Cookie custard pan, spicy curry buns, sugar toast, curry over rice, and rice balls!
SarahNovember 13, 2014Get the American Breakfast. It's probably the best deal in town at just under $5. Portion size is decent and food is yummy.- Village VoiceFebruary 9, 2011Try the yakisoba sandwich-encased inside a soft, squishy roll are noodles, pickled ginger, cooked napa cabbage, and bonito flakes, topped by some sort of dried herb.
Kathy IshizukaOctober 16, 2010Japanese breakfast, for sure. But great job on a straight-up egg sand., with potatoes, mixed in a veg of my choice (spinach) with a clump of freshly dressed greens. Around $3.
Half price on anything they make after 9pm. Finally you can actually experience what a 🍙 tastes like.
Sissi NieJuly 27, 2016Half off most things starting at 9pm- good place to grab a cheap dessert post dinner ;)
Elisa LauDecember 26, 2012I come here often or their traditional Japanese breakfast and the coffee is pretty good too. Friendly staff.
Rachel SMarch 2, 2012Delicious curry bread! Better if it hasn't been sitting out too long. Also, the macarons (macaroons are a different thing) are quite nice.
Spicy curry pan & chocolate banana croissant are both amazing (just don't eat them together...)
etta yFebruary 12, 2012Had a karaage bento for lunch and spent the next 3 hours getting violently ill. Snooty service for a bakery. Offerings not exactly authentic or even very good.
Aimee RakowskiMay 30, 2010so so glad this place is back and open for business! the chicken teriyaki sandwich was amazing, and i'm always a sucker for the green tea cream puffs. all their desserts are fantastic!
Chris LoMarch 30, 2012The shrimp onigiri is the best money saving delicious morsel. Two of these can get you full. Yum.
The pastries are excellent! Sweet, but not too sweet. The strawberry short cake and tiramisu are the bees knees.
Kelly KaiOctober 25, 2010They have kikkoman soy sauce packets to accompany your meal. Do you know how rare that is at take out places? Thankyou! I can enjoy my rice now!
Their Japanese lunch/dinner offerings are far superior to the Japanese breakfast
Emma BApril 9, 2012Fun macarons (bacon, yuzu, cassis, green tea flavors), decent coffee, and awesome curry soba.
Great quality food at a cheap price. Plus, outdoor seating!- ᴡ ToyMay 29, 2010Grab a salmon onigiri or two for lunch, and the green tea cookies -- 6 for $2.50 -- for dessert! Yes, they're pricey, but worth it!
Best place in the area to sit down and enjoy fresh breakfast on Saturday mornings before 9.
Damien DavisApril 30, 2014Just noticed they raised their prices... You'd think with the extra income they could at least learn to manage a queue. I'm quitting Panya today. Officially.
The Japanese sweet potato pan is delicious! Green tea an pan is great too!
