Panda is great, the dim sum is lovey and so are the other dishes, you will always be welcomed warmly and even if you haven’t booked they will try and fit you in the best they can. All the dim sum and bun options are great and you can’t go wrong, good vegi options also. The Chinese broccoli with garlic is great and the double cooked pork. The staff here are lovey and always happy to help and always have a smile. It’s BYOB bring your own booze, which is great (lots of shops around to grab a bottle etc). The decor is very simple but reminded me of some of the best dim sum places in Asia I had visited. The taste of the food was very similar to that of dim sum in Asia also. All the food is made there and you can see them preparing the dim sum and other dishes. Prices are not that bad either, well worth a visit and I will definitely be back.

I came here for a takeaway tonight and the staff were lovely and friendly. I got the prawn and chive dumplings and Dan Dan noodles. The dumplings were delecious really good. Unfortunately the noodles were very disappointing it tasted like Spaghetti and meat I was not a fan of that dish at all. I would definitely come back for the dumplings and soup though :) Thank you

DELICIOUS!!!!!! I fancied some dim sum and googled a top rated place and this came up so I had to try. It was 30 minutes drive away but I’m glad I went! I understand why this is rated high. The food was so tasty and I cannot wait to return. The won ton soup was beautifully presented and it was the best one I have ever tasted. The dim sum selection was full of flavour and at an excellent standard. My kids loved trying them all and loved their noodle and rice dishes. I wish I lived local to this place as I would eat here so often. Well done to the welcoming staff and talented chef! I will be back for more delicious food.

I cannot believe how great the dimsum is at Panda's Cafe. We've seen a lot of families with kids here so had assumed they might sacrifice (particularly spicier) flavours, could not be more delighted to be wrong. The chicken wonton soup was a particular highlight. Charming service, clean kitchen and one of London's best dim sums at reasonable prices. We'll be coming back for dinner to try the szechuan bass.

Wonderful, friendly food. The staff were all so kind and cheerful. We started with broccoli with oyster sauce and two other dim sum dishes. We also had spicy fish, double cooked pork and double cooked aubergine with noodles and egg fried rice. We would recommend the pork, aubergine and rice in particular. They were so kind that they added extra rice for the food that we didn’t eat and were taking away. We will definitely go back.

Came in on a sunday, firstly let me say the warmth in the welcome, food was delightful. Chinese food is my favourite and tried quite a few chinese/dim sum places and the price point is perfect , healthy portions i must say the lamb and carrot dumplings were the best and i normally dont go for chicken for dim sum but the spicy chicken ones were on point. Very very affordable , clean and enough choice, will be back to try the classic dishes Will be a local spot for me now !

Always a warm welcome. Seating and surroundings are a little basic, but you come here for the amazing dim sum. The menu is limited, but that's because everything is made from scratch, unlike most Chinese or Asian restaurants. Ingredients are fresh and carefully prepared. Dishes come when they are ready, so be ready to share! Really delicious. Sometimes the most unlikely things delight, so try the vegetable buns or the cucumber with peanuts. I live round the corner and come here time and time again. So lucky to have on our doorstep.

We would recommend this place to anyone - an underrated restaurant for food lovers who want proper Chinese food. We can never just order 2 portions of dumplings for “round 1” - always 3 or 4!! We recommend the pork which is our favourite - today we pointed out that the portion had got smaller recently and they gave us a bit more. Friendly family business, come and support them, and get stuck into some amazing food!

Mixed experience - excellent chicken and sweetcorn soup, tasted fresh and homemade. The ma po tofu was really disappointing. It is a dish I have eaten dozens of time elsewhere and make for myself. Advertised as vegetarian I thought it would be interesting to try as it usually depends on meat. I was expecting something else to bring the umami but it was just a plate of tofu that had been heated in a pan with a tiny bit of sauce. There were no chillis, hardly any Sichuan pepper, and no meat substitute. And it was £8.80 so the price of a standard main dish. I ended up dousing it in the mercifully free chilli oil but that wasn't spicy either.

Have you guys changed chef? I've eaten in Panda dozens of times over the years and chose to get it delivered for the first time yesterday with the tube being patchy, so this is a review of the takeaway only... Overall we were disappointed. The fried dumplings were dry and had no soup in them. The dan dan noodles were one dimensional and ungarnished. The prawns (usually our favourite dish) were underseasoned and not properly battered, it was more like they were glazed, and what batter they did have was very soggy and translucent; the onions were cooked but not particularly flavorsome. The were some upsides. The dan dan noodles were still tasty enough altough had become a bit of a block (delivery took about a few hours, so not surprising) and the sui mai was as good as ever, if cold. Were we not already big fans of Panda, this would have been a poor first show. The dishes just tasted different to usual. So either you were busy or someone else was cooking?! I have previous 5* reviews on other review sites for the eat-in which are still up, but I felt that a review was needed for the takeaway on here. Will try again next month and hopefully change it upwards.

Lovely local place run by the most friendly family. The dumplings are delicious and many to choose! The won ton soup doesn't go to my stomach, it goes to my heart, it's pure life, makes me happy every single time. Beautiful local atmosphere. As for the food, well, this is obviously a dumpling restaurant so I haven't really adventured with the rest of the menu but one thing is certain: Go have a soup and some dumplings, all that you did last saturday night --> Healed!

First time I have visited this dim sum cafe, I must say the dim sum really did lack taste and flavour. Also, really over priced for a little cafe. The rice and chicken mea didn’t taste of much, Shanghai pork buns tasted of nothing. I also ordered the special fried noodles, very greasy and very very salty, prawns were cooked well. But, the chicken was chewy and not a lot of it. Didn’t want to complain as they had a few tables. Never seen such a small portion of noddles for nearly £8.00!! Won’t be going back
