Always enjoy the food here. They are obliging when I have special dietary requests.
The best Thai food around service also excellent.
Best Thai food I have ever eaten in Australia.. It's a must have❤❤❤
Dined in last night, wait staff were very friendly & very helpful, the food was fantastic, all up a brilliant night ��
Awesome food, authentic. Staff friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend
Kanitar Thai food is spectacular. Their staff are more than obliging and friendly. So good to go out an enjoy a meal with friends and have a great time.
Best ever, we love going there and sharing the secret of the amazing flavours with all our friends, also recommending to visitors of The Waterfront Apartments.

Overall rating: 3.5
Was craving some Asian food at my 5 day stay in Geelong and decided to go for this popular Thai restaurant. There was ample seating but very empty.
My favourite were definitely their mains: their Pad See Ew and Pad Thai, and Chicken Green Curry. Sides were pretty average. Flavours were spot on but tasted cheap. Plating was quite average. The satay skewers would be a nice side to share.
Loved the option being able to choose the level of spice for each dish, which staff did well as you could taste the different levels of chilli for each dish.
Pad See Ew was exploding with sweet, savoury and a touch of sour flavour as well as the spicy from the peppercorns hiding in this colourful rice noodle dish. Beef was cooked perfectly and was juicy.
Pad Thai was just as good but there was just a bit too much sauce on the plate and too much noodle that it almost tasted as if there was no seafood on the plate. Pad Thai is a bit on the sweeter side compared to other restaurants but was still enjoyable.
Overall, could be better, but was a very filling and hearty meal.

I visited Geelong and found this place for dinner from rating app. Restaurant easy to find. Environment very nice. Staffs friendly and food serving reasonably quick. Ordered curry dishes and soups. Food tasted sweet. Offering from taste of curry dishes expected.
Came by for a late dinner when we were on a round the bay trip, driving down to the Peninsula, ferrying across and driving back to Melbourne CBD.
Not too bad Thai, great service, good flavours, and very crowded on a weekday night. Good choice for dinner if you're ever in town.
Absolutely delicious! Thoroughly enjoyed chicken pad satay stir fry and duck panang red curry with coconut rice.
Kanitar Thai Restaurant 5/5
We love Thai food and this restaurant is definitely up to scratch. The dishes were tasty and flavoursome. The staff were friendly also. A place we would recommend for anyone in the Geelong area.
Big fan of Thai cusine. I had heard good reports about Kanitar so went there for my Birthday with Family.
The meals were beautiful. One of our party has a number of food allergies and they were only too happy to accomodate her meal requests. I had the Whole Baramundi in Red Curry sauce. Was delicious.
Restaurant was typical of a Thai restaurant. It was comfortable and clean. Wait staff were pleasant and attentive without being intrusive. My only disappointment was there appeared to be no Dessert options. Maybe there was a separate dessert menu? Not sure.
Was a very nice evening. Pricing was good. Would recommend.

Excellent Thai food that's close to authentic (for Australian standards anyway haha) and served with fresh ingredients. So many Thai restaurants in Geelong lack the flavours that Kanitar have in their recipes. One of my regular places
Nice, big restaurant, gives the couple up to parties of many feeling of privacy! Wide selection of food on the menu. Food was very tasty and service was friendly, thorough and fast! A lot of good Thai restaurants in Geelong, this one definitely challenges!!!
In search of good Thai food and we found it. Service was friendly and efficient. Wine glasses arrived quickly for BYO wine, as did the appetisers (Thai Curry Puffs and Fish Cakes ). Dipping sauces were light but tasty. Drunken Noodles was very good, vegetables al dente, and 'Medium' spicing just right. Hot would have been painful. Incredibly generous portions so dessert was not a possibility.
All in all, a terrific choice.
Good Thai. Excellent Thai restaurant in Geelong. Service was a little slow but a manager came and apologised and was very friendly. The food was delicious and servings were larger than I expected considering the reasonable prices. Left fat and happy.
Impressive first time. The new owners have moved in, with the same chef from Arani down the road. We were very impressed. Attentive staff, food was fantastic - the penang curry was rich, spicy and delicious. HUGE portions. My girlfriend and I ordered a medium rice to share which could easily have been a small and we couldn't finish our mains (and I'm a big eater). Will definitely be back!
Lovely attentive service. The servings are very generous but you appreciate them because the food was beautiful! Highly recommend.
Great vegan options :). As a vegan it is always incredibly difficult to find vegan-friendly options in 99% of restaurants yet alone in Geelong but these guys have plenty of absolutely amazing dishes available for me. The vegetarian menu is extensive and dishes can easily be tweaked to suit vegans and they are super patient when I'm asking about the ingredients in the meals. I'm actually going back tonight for some amazing vegetarian red curry and thought I'd give this place a nice review because they aren't always busy but they certainly deserve more customers for their outstanding service and quality of food :)
Excellent food and service. Best thai in Geelong by far, lots of options and kids loved it and so did we. Quiet clean and very nice food, I will be back here for sure. Pad Thai was great prawn satay great.
Absolutely loved this place! My parents don't really eat Thai, so I was hesitant on taking them to a place I've never been before.
Glad I risked it! This place is great, surprised with the negative reviews as the food is the closest tasting food to authentic that I've had. Quality chicken, none of this rubbish thigh stuff that people try to palm off.
Had the panang, green curry and pad Thai shared between us all and we all left completely full (4 of us). Fantastic and attentive service and food was served without delay.
Will absolutely be back!!
Best Thai in Geelong. Clean fresh and fast. Very friendly and polite service. Will definitely be back!
Service was great food was quick and fresh
Great Thai green curries! Delicious! Friendly service and reasonable prices!
Really nice food and atmosphere. Gave us spring rolls for free because they were apparently slightly overcooked but we didn't even notice!
Amazing food, can't get enough. Love the restaurants new look, so fancy and tasteful just like the food!! Thumbs up from me (Y)
Best Pad Thai in Melbourne. Me and my family keep coming back to Geelong just for it. Friendly, good customer service
Best thai food and service!. In the four years i have lived in geelong kanitar thai has always been my go to for thai food! i have occasionally been taken to other restaurants around town with friends but none even come close. the food is very authentic and they will accomodate for any taste. my favourite is green chicken curry and pad thai though i have never disliked anything that came from their kitchen. my work mates nicknamed it 'laughing man' as the staff are so lovely and enjoyable!!! could not recommend high enough :-)
Fantastic meal with friendly service. One of my favourite venues. Fantastic meals at a great price with friendly service what more could a girl want.
Friendly service and well priced delicious dishes in a modern and clean setting! 10/10
Really good thai!. A really good feed and at decent prices. All dishes are tasty and all the staff are friendly. Recently moved next door to a bigger premises which is spacious. They do a $9 lunch menu which is great if you're working nearby throughout the working week. A regular favourite of mine and the family. Will always be back.
Huge takeaway containers. Excellent gang panang prawns with heaps of prawns.

Absolutely delicious! Will definitely be back!
An excellent recommendation from a friend. My regular Thai haunt in Geelong, Panny Thai, has slipped considerably in their standards of late, and after experiencing a watered-down, flavourless Red curry last week, I finally decided that I needed a new regular Thai place.
I think Kanitar Thai fits the bill. On take away today, the Thai green curry was flavoursome and tasty, and definitely not watered down. The entrees such as the spring rolls and delightful wontons with chicken and prawn were also a highlight.
Service was friendly, and although I didn't dine in on this occasion, the restaurant premises are spacious, clean and have well spaced out tables.
I'll definitely be back!
Best Thai in Geelong!. I went to the new location (next door) of kanitar restaurant for the first time, and was amazed at how good the food was! It was cheap, had large serving sizes, and each meal was equally delicious. We had the roti bread and it was probably the best I have had, and I go out for Thai a lot. I will definitely come back and have some more!
AMAZING. Amazingly, delicious food. Went there once and never go anywhere else. Wonderful atmosphere and super friendly staff! The food is cheap and high quality! Best pad Thai you'll find anywhere!
BEST THAI IN GEELONG!. Kanitar thai is the best in Geelong! We have tried so many others and always regret not going to Kanitar. Friendly staff and great food.
Great food, service and price. Tonight myself and 6other found our selves very pleasantly surprised by the great food and service at Kanitar Thai. as none of use were from Geelong and were all hungry we looked on urbanspoon and checked this place out. dont be put off by the looks of the interior as the food was amazing. as were are all vegetarian we were happy to see that there was lot of choices for us and they all tasted great. i dont head to Geelong often but this one will be getting visited again. note we all left happy and full for under $17 each :)
We always order the green curry with coconut rice. Also like their fried cuttlefish and fishcakes. Quiet place, nice to sit and chat. Unpretentious good food.
Excellent service and superb food 10/10. Well priced too
The food is so good here, definitely the best Thai in geelong! Good value, large portions and delicious. The pad Thai was to die for. My new favourite
Best Thai in Geelong. Authentic Thai flavours. Penang curry is our fave. The won tons are a must too.
Best pad thai in town!. It's a nice little restaurant on a busy street, you can easily missed! we've been here many many times, and has never let us down! seafood pad thai is to die for..
Good food ! Tom yum chicken soup was FULL of chicken, ordered spicy - GOT SPICY ! Burnt my lips off.... LOL great dish Chicken larb, not a huge amount of flavour - was lots and nice - definitely come again next trip to Geelong
Yummy for all!. We found this place thanks to urban spoon and we were delighted with the choice we made. It is a small family owned business with a very clean premise and interesting colour combination.
We started with the roti bread with peanut sauce, it was fantastic this is one of our standard dishes whenever we go to Thai and this definitely tops the list of best dishes for us.
We ordered three main dishes to share with coconut rice and were presently surprised with the high quality food. However the best surprise was when we received the bill, for the quality and amount of food we got it was cheap (almost like we were back in Thailand)
A great little family-owned and run restaurant. Authentic Thai food at it's finest especially for the budget-minded. Very friendly service, and always greeted with a smile. Atmosphere is great too with pleasant background music, perfect for the work lunch break and dinner banquets.
So you're in Geelong. You're hungry. And you're hankering for some Southeast Asian goodness? I say, mosy on down to Kanitar on Malop St - the town's main drag. I hadn't been there before, but I wondered in after seeing the golden statues and hoping for th
The best Thai restaurant we ever had in Australia 💓
Delightful food 👍🏼 Friendly staff 👍🏼 Reasonable prices 👍🏼
We had delicoius Tai food for dinner from this place. I was told that plain rice and few dishes would be better choice than the fridge rice options they have and it turned out to be true.
Great food, quite an extensive menu. 5 stars would be given had all the food arrived at the same time, but it was busy and they did seem a little under-staffed. However, the table-spacing is good - I absolutely hate it when you are so crammed-in it's impossible to have a conversation. Not here, though.
I'd advise eating early to avoid a wait, but the food is definitely worth the visit. Just the right amount of spice, fresh vegetables and piping-hot.
Great food. Service is a bit up and down. I'd go back.
Best tom yum in Geelong, bit salty and sour taste of phathai but overall very nice dining
