Panda Chinese Restaurant in Woking

Nice food. My son BJ really like it

The waitress whom took care of me from entering the restaurant to exiting was very kind and refreshing. She was very helpful and had great knowledge of the whole menu she was able to list everything for me. She had great conversational skills and overall made the visit outstanding. I will definitely visit again

Really friendly waitress. Food was good. Service was the highlight of the visit.

Me and my daughter ate here last Friday and when we walked in we asked if they catered for a vegan. Their response was yes! Unfortunately when ordering off the vegetarian menu and asking about the fish fragrant aubergine we were told : No fish and no fish sauce! Whilst eating it my daughter discovered some textured pieces like minced meat in it. We then asked what it was and we're told it was chicken. On looking on the menu on line it has minced pork in. Why on earth is it on the vegetarian menu???? I then said I wouldn't pay for it which they then deducted 30% off. No apology from the owner who simply slunk off and left the waitress to deal with it. Absolutely disgusting!! Needless to say we will never go back or recommend it to anyone!

This is an AMAZING RESTAURANT its food is tasty and scrumptious especially the spring rolls!!! But all the food is recommended! :)

Being served with good taste food. Can tell the material is fresh. Enjoy the experience chatting with the owners. They do take the food making seriously.

I ordered takeaway and the food was really tempting will try it again.

Good staff. Delicious food. I have been there with friends for dinner. The staffs are friendly. The food are best. I will come again.

quiet nice ambience midday gets busier at night. great value for money, food arrives promptly and nice staff! does lots of food selections

One of the finest place in Woking where i enjoy the meal all meal was delicious and amazing i love to be here again

The food was great, the owner was very nice and we will be coming back often, the buffet was cheap and delicious!

I'm Chinese by background. Have eaten here a few times and honestly have to say this is the best Chinese restaurant I've been to outside London. Food is actually authentic. Buffet is an absolute bargain. The amount of food you get for each dish is a lot. The bad reviews on here I suspect are from people who want Chinese takeaway style food. The fact that you can see chinese families eating here is pretty much testament to how good it is. Only downside is that service can be a bit slow when it's busy.

Mrs Sandya was very lovely, she helped us with booking for a large number of reservation, welcoming us was top notch much appreciated. Mrs sandya helped us with the overall menus and made us feel comfortable throughout the evening. Well done to the company for having such wonderful service

Outstanding place for a big family definitely recommend to all for sure, we came here with total of 16 and the place was very well accommodating, Mrs sandya especially comes to mind who helped us make us feel comfortable since she knew the menu well. Great restaurant, you can eat all you can with menu c. Perfect for a good memories to make with family friends. Great experience…. Music is present, alcohols, desserts everything you can ask you really

Been here for lunch twice. Lovely starters. And great main course's 👍

Amazingly delicious food, great choice and super fresh. Great staff, funny and lovely kitchen team.

Absolutely loved the food! Also good veg options. Authentic and good portions. Staff we’re nice will be back again

Valentine's day cancellation! Phoned up to cancel reservation and they laughed. Pure unprofessionalisum!

Service has deteriorated recently. It took 3 hours to deliver. Order was incomplete despite phoning to make sure they had all the items. Will not be returning.

Ordered a takeaway before 6pm on a Sunday evening. Food was supposed to arrived by 6.50pm. 7.30pm no food. Answered phone eventually and had obviously forgotten our order. Said order would arrive by 9pm - 3 hours after order… The first 2 times we used Panda they were great but the last 2 times they have been worse than awful. I vowed never to use them after the last time… food took hours, terrible service and when it did arrive half of the order was missing. This is the last time!

I ordered take away for our Chinese new year eve dinner . The dry wok lotus root, it was horrible , for 14.20 , just deep fried ,super soggy and oiling lotus root, couldn’t even have the second piece. So disappointed. Other dishes were ok . just like normal take away . I have been to this restaurant and did take away for many times , but feel it is not as good as before . I called the restaurant, obviously no one care , no one wants to deal with it . Avoid it , if possible.

Amazing food ! Very tasty 🤤 Strongly recommend 👍 The owner of the restaurant couple are very friendly and always give their most warmest welcome to the customer. 👍

Expansive menu Rapid service and good sized portions of tasty food.

Should honestly be shut down. Paid between £20-£30 per person for a buffet. To our dismay, we had to keep asking the waiter for which food on the buffet menu we wanted which ended up being A-la-carte style. Waited nearly 2 hours for our food, only for a fraction of them to arrive. We were fed up and left. We were confidently reassured that carbohydrate portion sizes were big enough for three people. They were not. Portions were small and inconsistent in sizes. The food was not authentic Chinese food and was either bland, salty or too sweet. As paying customers, we were repeatedly ignored and had to keep asking for things that had already been asked for. I asked to see the manager and was told that the manager was cooking. Asked to see the supervisor in charge and was told there was none. They are severely understaffed and altogether was not an enjoyable experience for my group and I. Save your time and go elsewhere. I personally will not be Returning.

The reviews were very varied. I think it must depend on the staff on the day. My friend and I had a terrible experience. The waitress completely confused us with the menu of A, B and C! The crispy duck pancakes were cold and the spare ribs were fatty and cold and arrived at the same as starters. We won’t be going back!

This is a second repeat visit and the food still doesn’t disappoint! We love the shredded cabbage and tried the fish dish (actually pork but was cooked very tender) with one egg fried rice to share. Despite the northern-style chinese menu, the chef could cook the dishes mildly spicy as I can’t take too much of the heat and still maintain the quality of taste! We will no doubt make a repeat visit as the food quality was quite authentic (especially in Woking!) They also have an extensive selection of food. visited: 27 Dec, 2023

Not a single bad thing to say - food is awesome, service is incredibly friendly, good price on the buffet especially - up the panda!

Cannot recommend Panda enough, it is my go to place if I want great value and excellent food. I get the all you can eat because every dish I have tried is delicious. The restaurant is very well decorated and the service is perfect for me. Every staff member that i have met has been exceptionally polite and welcoming.

Good staff. Delicious food. I have been there with friends for dinner. The staffs are friendly. The food are best.

A varied menu that will suit varying tastes. This restaurant is good for what mught be thought of ad 'usual British Chinese food' as well as authentic specialities such as can be found in Chinatown in London. I prefer usual British Chinese food but enjoy sometimes trying something more specialist. Both seem well catered for here. There are times including lunchtimes when there is a buffet menu. I was there for lunch on Christmas Day. I had chicken and sweetcorn soup, sliced pork with sliced cabbage, rice and jasmine tea. It was all great. It is best to view their website for full details.

We dove 3/4 hour to check out the food. Very odd experience and the food was extremely bland. The chicken curry was rancid! The only two items we ordered that was basically edible being the satay sauce and the egg fried rice. The spring rolls were bland the spare ribs had a very odd sauce very watery and extremely bland . One tonic water £4.20 and they even gave us a service charge of the same even tho the communication side was diabolical and the food the same. I’d check out the recent reviews they sum up the restaurant nicely. 4/10 and that’s being generous.

Ordered a takeaway from Panda and spent £55 on a midweek meal for two. The food was cold, sparse, tasteless and the portion sizes ridiculously small. All of the dishes seemed to taste the same.

Very bad experience in my 2 last order, 2 hours late delivery, cold food, very expensive. not recommended.

Worst experience in three years Just paid 9pounds for salt and pepper ribs......all I got was about 8grisrly knuckles ....picture was taken after I chucked tendon filled (battered and deep fried?????) To the kerb Knuckle ends of each rib....there were NO actual ribs on this dish . I'm actually off to the golden wok so as to not ruin my Sunday evening. They deep fried the scraps I'd may or not Feed my dog.....who'd eat out of a bin given the chance

Have been visiting several times, but they got new menu recently. Really love the fish dish with noodles. Staff are really friendly and willing to help. Great service and food overall, highly recommend.

I’ve seen mixed reviews on here but the night we went we just placed orders from the buffet menu, it was easy and quick and the food was plentiful, staff were friendly and helpful would recommend Would I go again? Yes, was it value for money? Yes

Traditional Chinese food especially Sichuan can be found there in Woking. Restaurant design Chinese-style, tableware decorated in a very exquisite Panda. Waitress was attentive, first rate service👍

Nice staff. Authentic Chinese food.

Exceptional Chinese restaurant! Delicious food, inviting ambiance, and outstanding service. Highly recommend!

The environment is good and the food are delicious 😋🤤....The service is much more than expected 😊

delicious food.Definitely come again.

The English Chinese doesn't taste good with the price tag like that. Neither the tradition Chinese is a horrendously small portion. The food is stingy in size and we had a very unpleasant experience with the staff being the reasons this restaurant needs to avoid.

Just had one of the lunchtime specials main rice choice of drink well cooked packaged nicely in reusable tubs very handy will use again in kitchen lovely choice only £9.99 I took mine home but option to eat in available I recommend this as a lovely alternative to the sandwich meal deal it is available 12 till 2 if you're in Woking give it a try you won't regret it plus I forgot to mention first class service thankyou panda restaurant.

We ordered two dishes of Kung Po but allergic to nuts. However they only cooked one dish without nuts and the other one nearly killed my wife. What I felt shocking was all three waitress did not understand English properly and had no knowledge of allergen at all. And they charged me for their service. What a joke

The service is totally failed: There were only 1 table apart from us. We took less than 2 mins to decide our dishes after sitting down. But the two/three waiting staff came to us in another 10 mins asking us what to order although we eyed them gently. The person who served us did not quite understand their own menu. We repeated every dish for 4-5 times for her to write down correctly. And then we waited another 5 mins for this staff to record everything in their computer before the order was sent to the kitchen. My appetite has gone! Food is below average and tiny in portion: Ok, maybe I am a bit personal because I think every normal high street restaurant is not a fine dining that sacrifices the portion by decoration. But come on, the salt pepper squid only had 5 small pieces inside. What?? The fried food has very chewy side maybe because it is not freshly made?? We also ordered a spicy chicken which tasted like wooden chips and there were less than 10 slices in the whole dish costing 20 quid. After all, they put a compulsory 10% service charge. Me friends thought there was no need to argue because she didn't want to ruin the night anymore so we paid and told every one we knew never come here again!!

We went to this place because of friend's birthday. It turned out to be a complete mistake. There was a plastic chip in our grill fish and the waitress was not apologetic at all. The waitress does not speak good English nor Chinese. We don't know how to communicate. The taste of food is not authentic also, very oily but bland. The final bill is averaged over 30 pounds per person but we are not really full. Avoid!!!

They are providing little portion but charge high price - not value for money.

I am not sure whether chef is in sleep. Dishes have very little portion - two Chinese people order four dishes but not full at all. Try to avoid this mean restaurant.

The lady who attended to our table wasn't Chinese- she was very helpful and apologised for the very unprofessional behaviour by the Chinese lady who was on duty. She was very rude and unhelpful. The decor of the restaurant is warm and inviting. The food is 2 star quality. Beijing restaurant in Addlestone offers far better food quality. Definitely won't be eating here again - complete waste of time.

A bit of a mixed bag. On one hand, it was a traditional Chinese restaurant which was great to see. None of the westernised dishes, and tried to stay close to their heritage. Really pleasing to see. We opted for the weekday buffet which was a good choice at £20pp. The service was lukewarm. Nothing against it, but it wasn't very friendly or accommodating. Some of our choices were good, but some were pretty awful, like the slivers of potato with chilli. Some of the dishes didn't really suit our tastes, but I'm sure if we ordered the right things, it would be great. That's what was missing for us, decent recommendations for new people not used to traditional Chinese cuisine. I'd give it another go. No parking nearby so it's a long walk from the town centre multistory, or local on street parking

Had Panda takeaway a few times now and it has been consistently delicious!! Would highly recommend

Second time been here and have to say won’t go there again. The staff are very rude and looked at me like I was an idiot when asking for schezun prawn even though it is a typical Chinese dish and didn’t even have it on...

We ordered spicy chicken Wings and a King Prawn Noodles The one that come out as chicken is wild deep fried Bones and the Noodles with O had to choose 4 toppings apparently has no KING PRAWNS what so ever and the Bill itself is...

Should have paid more attention to the previous review. Not impressed what so ever. Over priced and not great quality. Sorry not for me.

Not sure what’s going on at Panda but an order placed via Deliveroo wasn’t even processed. Very poor. Also unusual given that we have ordered from here often in the past. The food has been excellent as has the service.

I have been regularly going to this restaurant and was always looked after very well by the head waitress or manager Karen. But last night I asked if she could help me move my table closer to me and she said”the owner wants it like...

Super rude service and very poor hygiene. Strongly recommend to avoid.

Visited for our anniversary dinner. Booked a table for 8pm and we’re seated promptly then left for approximately 25 minutes with no menu, drink or service, just ignored. When my boyfriend said could we be served please we were told by the lady who appeared...

Ordered food through deliveroo still not turned up after 2 hours will be getting a refund.

第一次来Woking 发现了这家装修别致典雅的中餐厅。老板，服务员热情迎客，点了两个菜，川菜味道棒极了，麻辣鲜香，广式干炒牛河味道正宗，分量很足。强烈推荐这家中餐厅！！

Haven't been here for a while due to circumstances but came back tonight I immediately saw what I was missing had buffet better quality food on my doorstep I realised what I been missing won't be leaving it so long again a real gem in...

I went to try the Dim Sum. The service was good. However, from the dishes that were ordered, the portion size was disproportionate to the price charged. The dishes lack some of the expected flavour and substance.

I went for Dim Sum. The service was pleasant and good. However, the ordered dishes represented poor value for money; IMHO overpriced and small portions.

First class food and friendly staff and service. Very good value for money. Starters were ribs, soups and we then had crispy duck. Mains were special fried rice, chilli beef and kung po chicken. Excellent

Very nice and warm! Very friendly people

We came here when waiting for our delayed train… amazing food and service! The buffet menu is very good value for the size of the portions. The food was very fresh and tasty.

第一次我們三位7點多walk in，佢話唔做生意佢地好忙叫我地過主 平時我叫外賣佢地都唔會送來。因為好忙。吾忙就會送🤨 有一次我地坐底左等左好耐伙計望住我哋，喺都唔同我地落單，最後我唯有直接叫老細落單.

These buffet noodles make an argument for Hakkasan to lose its Michelin stars. Very good place. I will return.

we called on our way back to our hotel from Wimbledon. the restaurant wasn't busy but the wait was long due to high number of takeout orders. the waitress acknowledged this and apologised it want an issue. We chose from the buffet menu 19.99 each....

Went for a belated Father's Day meal. Food was nice and cooked to order and brought out when cooked. Portions varied from small to medium sized. Price is expensive plus they added a 12.5 tip to the bill. Doubt we'll go there again due to the high cost. For 4 of us (5 d. coke's) the bill was £102.89.

I have been their royal customer from beginning. But the recent change of quality is shocking and after I thought to give them another chance, another after another I am giving up. Please see this Kung po Chicken and compare their other Kung Po chicken images here. Their chef turned it into 10x the sweetness and more sweet than sweet and sour chicken. It used to be good so today when I place order I asked chef to put less sugar. And it came with no sugar and no taste at all. The quality is hopeless. I will NOT order or come again. Sorry.

Had takeaway from here and dined in too recently, always a little bit disappointing. For example, the "Rice noodles" were actually egg noodles, the ribs were battered...I mean just why. At least put it on the menu description if you're going to do something insane like that, especially when it doesn't work. And on their online menu, they are clearly not battered. Also no meat under the batter.

1st time i visited panda restaurant its amazing they got fantastic food and the waiters working inside are amazing

We ordered a takeaway for delivery and it took 1hr 45mins to come We rung the restaurant twice and they just kept saying they were busy

Food was fine, mostly very nice but ribs were very fatty and beef was very soft. The issue was the delivery service, which was extortionate at £9.80 and the food took 1.5 hours to arrive, rather than the stated 45 minutes. We asked for a refund and the lady on the phone just said she "wasn't allowed" and directed me to Deliveroo. However, Deliveroo rightly pointed out that Panda Restaurant uses their own drivers, so any issues with delivery aren't for Deliveroo to manage. I doubt we will get that refund from the restaurant, so we won't be ordering from them again.

Have visited many times with friends and family. Never have had bad meal. Good value for money. Very happy staff that always make you welcome and service was excellent and food was fantastic especially the authentic Sichuan dish which you must try.

Great food. Very polite staff and the food freshly cooked. We would definitely go back.

Staff was very friendly and food was 5 star 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

The food was great, we ordered so much but couldn't stop. The music and art are wonderful and soothing and the service was very friendly.

Menu is possibly too ambitious as covers both Northern and Southern Chinese cuisines. These are two distinctive styles. If there are two chefs one from each region, perhaps all would be well. Generally the Southern or Cantonese dishes are more successful. The beef fried with...

This is the most authentic Chinese food I've had in the UK! The waitstaff were incredibly friendly too. Highly recommended!

Staff is very rude and unsatisfactory.

Perfectly adequate Chinese restaurant. Special lunch deal. Used by Chinese in the main. I will probably be a regular patron.

I'm delighted to be able to visit Panda Restaurant again and indulge in authentic Chinese cuisine. The food is as delicious as always, and the newly introduced Salt and Pepper Pork Chop is exceptionally tasty! The service is of high quality too. I highly recommend...

Very good place overall, food comes in great quality and quantity, services are great too with the staff being very warm and welcoming. Would recommend coming here.

Food is fantastic and they come fast and efficient with a great atmosphere. Staffs are very friendly too. Will definitely come back again.

Came here with family for a birthday meal last night, we were all so impressed! Everything was cooked and seasoned to perfection, not greasy or bland, very reasonably priced and the service was extremely friendly and helpful. Can’t wait to come back!!

The food is always delicious and authentic. Owner and staff are lovely and helpful. I have been several times and am never disappointed.

Just ordered a takeaway. I had ribs duck and crispy seaweed. By far the best Chinese I’ve had as a takeaway. I loved the little touches like the chop sticks and please try and use them 😊! Very impressed will definitely order again!

I went here to try the buffet as I received a flyer through the door. We ordered most of the dishes that we had never heard of on a standard buffet menu. All of the dishes that we had were freshly cooked to order. We...

Great food, proper Chinese dishes

Omgoodness real genuine recipes almost felt like home cooked a few normal dishes but if your a open mined foodie and instead of eating quietly messing around with your phone being miserably boring avoiding conversations with your woman try the pigs trotter or pigs ears 🐖

Tasty food and great service, staff/owners were easy to talk to and we had a laugh as well. Food is the best Chinese in Woking.

From the outside looks tiny but when you walk in goes all the way back. Very clean, staff very accommodating. Food was very tasty and portion sizes were good. Went on a Sunday and had the buffet menu. So much to choose from and good price. The satay chicken was so so good! They also do an online take away service which will be used now I have tasted the food.

This is a delicious meal we had dinner on Friday! So lovely restaurant with nice service and new dishes. I will come back again definitely recommend Panda Chinese restaurant! 👍👍👍

Ordered collection via website was given a collection time also I received an email at that time to say collection was ready. However at the restaurant I was told the order would be another 20 minutes. Disappointing they can’t give out a correct collection times. Ordered two dishes one was very nice the other was far to spicy for my taste.
