Panda Garden in Denbighshire

Fantastic meals,hidden jem,hard to find,up above a carpet shop,went Xmas eve with family was excellent, have been a few times since and just as good,I right my review after having a takeaway,which was just as good.

Popped in unannounced and was welcomed by a lovely little lady. The dim sum was nice and the sizzling prawns were gorgeous. There was a few of us and all had a fantastic meal. Top marks

Popped in to get a voucher for a friends birthday as he uses this Chinese on a regular basis. When I asked would you do me a £20 voucher I was told definitely not. Ah well, I shall take my business elsewhere and never step in here again. Such rude and arrogant staff.

Sat in for a meal. Lovely hot food served very quickly. Excellent service without being over bearing. Reasonably priced - would definitely go again :-).

Great Chinese restaurant located in Castle Mews, which is in Well Street - called in after a couple of drinks at local pubs and it was well worth a visit! We had a lovely Chinese banquet, food was delicious and piping hot, great atmosphere and really good value for money - would definitely visit again.

Fantastic food , great value for money , very accommodating and polite staff , would highly recommend. It’s not the easiest to find but you won’t be disappointed!

We went at the start of the month as a group of 14. We had pre-ordered our meals prior to getting there to make it easier on staff to prepare the meals, but even after doing this we waited over 1.5 hours for our meals to arrive. I ordered duck in pancakes as a main meal (after asking that this would be ok) and when I received it I was waiting for the others in our group to get theirs but it took over 45 mins for everyone else to receive their meals. We also never had a drinks order and ended up going to buy them separately as we'd felt forgotten about. When the food arrived it was delicious, but waiting so long for our meals definitely put a dampener on it as we were all starving. The waiter (who usually delivery drives) was apologetic and had fantastic customer service, but it felt that the owners who were taking payments at the end didn't acknowledge the wait times. The restaurant was busy, but if they weren't able to accommodate a big group I wish they'd have told us prior to going. I would go back as a couple or small group but never as a large group again.

Called in on our visit to Rhuthun at the beginig of January 2023. We were the only ones there - so begen to wonder if we'd done the right thing! Well - we had. The service was quick and welcoming and the food was delicious.

Well that was TERRIBLE. Waited nearly 2 hours to be delivered and got the order completely wrong, asked for a plain roast chicken and it came covered in all sorts, completely ruined that meal, and also got over charged for things we did not order

Fantastic food, great quality meat and nice portions. The service was great too. I’m glad everywhere was shut because we probably wouldn’t have tried it. Highly recommend!

We were staying in Ruthin and popped into the restaurant. The staff were very busy with takeaway orders but said we could sit and eat in the restaurant. The food was good quality and quite large portions! The special chow mien had decent sized pieces of meat and prawns. We were the first ones in the restaurant but it soon filled up.

First time visiting Ruthin and found this place on tripadvisor so called and booked, arrived at 8pm was shown to our table given the menu for about 3 minutes then was asked if we were ready to order so just asked for a bottle of wine and a liitle bit more time to look at menu, when she got back with wine, we ordered our meals , starter to share and 2 mains with rice, total bill nearly £60 and food wasnt much to shout about.

We ordered enough food for 14 of us on a Friday evening which came to around £150.00. It worked out very reasonable. The delivery was on time. The food was warm and tasty enough. It compares well to other Chineese takeaway we’ve had. Overall, a good service.

Went to enjoy a Chinese out after reading the reviews we were quite excited to sit in a restaurant however on arrival we were told we couldn’t sit in because the kitchens were busy and couldn’t cope but we were of course welcome to order a takeaway. Left very disappointed to be refused service.

Having got food from here for years this is by far the worst meal I’ve ever had. It was freezing cold by the time it arrived after 90 mins when quoted 45! I rang to complain, offered to take the food back, why would you want it back? I mean i wish I had as we couldn’t eat much it was so awful!! Offered discount next time but this is the last time I will be ordering from here which as a local person using this service is a real shame!

Sori to say, what a poor take away last night. The standard of this place drops significantly when they are busy. Chips soggy not cooked properly. Tasteless food. Extra food added to the order! Unfortunately wont be using this place again. Seems to make nice...

Went here following a recommendation from a Barman. Place was quiet, and a little hard to find. Decor needs updating but did not distract form the excellent food that was delivered. On the whole staff were professional and courteous, menu choice enormous. Food delivered hot...

First time in Ruthin and wow what a find this was, very friendly staff but more important the food was amazing the best Chinese we’ve had in along time

Quick service and good selection of all your favourites. Crispy duck delicious and worth paying the set meal price just for that. Sizzling beef was indeed sizzling … and the sweet and sour chicken was all eaten by two hungry walkers. Thank you

Friendly staff, set meal B for 2, very tasty , plenty of food would come back again, Went down well with the Chinese beer ,

Looks good haven’t eaten yet, variety is good. Service is very good nice environment. Amazing tables

We ate here one night it was very quiet the food was good but wine list very limited. Friendly atmosphere and food price was very reasonable

Just visited with Mrs B, had the banquet B for 2. Really nice food with great service. Young person served our table, impeccable service 10/10 from me and mrs B. We booked our table via the website (directed to messenger) replied quick. Staying at Ruthin...

Went here last night, place totally overcrowded with Chinese kids shouting and playing cards all night. Couldn't hear yourself speak. Thought it was supposed to be a restaurant, but turned out to be a Community Hall basically. Stay well clear of this place at weekends....

Good food, good value, friendly and very helpful young waiter, we ordered a banquet for 4, although there were five of us, and he brought an extra bowl of soup for the fifth person. Premises a bit weird... an upstairs dining room that was unlike...

We always enjoy a visit to The Panda Garden. Food is tasty, service great and atmosphere relaxed. Thoroughly recommend a visit here!

Enjoyed a meal for two here. Looks very dated. Also looked like it was going to rubbish but we were hungry. However it was decent food.

Sorry to say that this was the worst Chinese meal I've had in my entire life. The positives..... the egg fried rice was nice. I ordered chow Mein, which is usually fried soft noodles with beansprouts, onions and a smattering of soy sauce. This came...

I had a lovely dish, vegetables in black bean sauce. The sauce was rich, good portion that was very filling. I really enjoyed my meal however my husband didn’t enjoy his as much, so we compromised on a 3rating. We must have visited on a...

ALL RUDE ARGENT & LAZY stood there on there phones then eventually they took my order and got 3 meals out of 4 completely wrong think the must have tweeted it or thought it would be funny and to top it all off it was...

Welcome people this is a place I would not recommend in a visit or order from based on our order experience. They are completely Rude on the phone, when I complained about food they suddenly don’t understand!!!! I ordered the food we ordered what we wanted and was not expecting it not there and then to be told it was there why would I phone you then...... A photo will be added of the order and they even ticked off what was packed and clearly was wrong, They even serve half portions now if your hungry this is not what you want to see..... I was told that it was correct and I had to bring it back myself and they would look at it what’s is the point in ordering the food when they can’t even deliver one simple order... I hope you take my advise on this matter as wouldn’t want anymore disappointment avoid at all costs............

Price of the food gone up, portions got smaller due to plate sizing being smaller.

Visited here whilst staying at Woodlands Hall and the food was excellent, both in taste and portion size. So def return custom when back in the area. Many Thanks keep up the excellent food.

Great little takeaway! Quite tricky to find and park - head to the police station and its opposite in the big open courtyard.

I had the sweet and sour chicken with boiled rice and vegetable spring rolls it was amazing and my friend had a chicken chow mein, it was delicious

This place used to be great, but now the service is awful. There are so many school children in there from China and sit in the restaurant nearly all night,taking up seating. So hard to not let them in but management need to move them on after they have finished meal. Standard of food is excellent though.

I ate here on my own as I was travelling alone and my hotel restaurant next door was full. The takeaway part was very busy when I arrived and there seemed to be just one lady taking phone orders and dealing with restaurant guests so I had to wait a while to be seated.

We ordered a birthday meal for home delivery from panda garden at 9pm and were told 40minutes. That was fine not a problem with that. At 10.30pm still waiting so we rang to ask where the food is. Delivery driver got lost on previous call. He’s on his way there in 10minutes. 11pm hmm no sign. We rang back and told it’s on its way so should be there any minute now. 11.30pm we rang again and told 5 minutes. 11.45pm still nothing. Rang back no answer they had clearly just closed and gone. Absolutely disgraceful customer service. If we had known we were being fobbed off we would have gone elsewhere. Advice don’t touch delivery service with a barge pole. We went to bed hungry and disappointed. Birthday ruined.

Although it was a Friday night we had the whole place to ourselves, the take away side was very busy.

Los dueños de facebook messaged que volvió a mí en 5 minutos para avisarme no está abierto los martes.

Hemos estado viniendo a P. G. por meses. excelente relación calidad-precio! Servicio rápido y comida muy sabrosa! Me encanta la cerveza y el Chino algas va bien con la carne crujiente (NO CHILI EDITION). Las galletas de la fortuna son siempre acertadas, que es una ventaja. ! ! Volveremos.

He estado viniendo aquí por unos 8 años casi 9, y nada ha cambiado, la comida y el servicio ha permanecido en un nivel increíblemente alto, sinceramente, nunca deja de me decepcionó, el propietario que no siempre la waitressing extremadamente agradable.

Pedimos una comida para llevar, tuvimos que esperar alrededor de 90 minutos, sin embargo, no fue molestado de la espera (significa que están ocupados, lo cual es una buena señal). Entrega llegó caliente, las chicas que entregaron fue muy cortés.

Mi familia y yo uso este Chino en las raras ocasiones de llevar. Nunca tuve ningún problema normalmente, sin embargo, esta noche me llamó mi pedido a través de la entrega (vivimos a 10 minutos desde el restaurante) en la 5. 30:00 y me dijeron que tardarian una hora como máximo. 7:00 se acercaba y no había entrega, peldaño a preguntar donde mi pedido y la señora dijo que era de dos minutos. 7. 20:00 venían y aún no hay comida, así que nuevamente, el peldaño señora fue muy grosero y pasó el teléfono a otro miembro del personal, terminamos yendo a recoger nuestra comida, ya que estábamos cansados de esperar. Tuvimos 20% de descuento en la comida, sin embargo este servicio ha significado que han perdido el interés al cliente y que no volveremos.

Great place, Hidden gem. Cheap and cheerful. Large menu and great service. Eat there 2-3 times a month

Me encanta la comida china y un grupo de nosotros visitamos, habiendo ya estado allí en una anterior visita a Ruthin en el momento de la apertura de la Tom Pryce Memorial en Clwyd. Arriba Un ambiente agradable complementado con la comida y el servicio es igual de buena. He oído de la gente que vale la pena pedir comida para llevar, en realidad vimos numerosos llevar comidas de ser recogido. Volveremos a por más.

Nice food but expect a long wait for your food. It's a Chinese restaurant so it is understandable I suppose. Food is great though!

Mi novio y yo tuvimos una comida para llevar desde aquí y su arroz frito especial tenía un pelo, que pensamos podría haber sido mío así lo han descartado inmediatamente. Hasta que encontré uno en la mía, entonces casi inmediatamente después sacó uno de mi...

Really enjoy dining in this restaurant, lovely Chinese food and outstanding value for money. Have visited many times as well as using the delivery service and have not been disappointed. Friendly, attentive staff within a very welcoming atmosphere. Would definitely recommend.

Ordenados de aquí ayer por la tarde. el personal es muy amable, bastante concurrido en el momento, pedir la comida perfecta era incluso mejor! Sin duda iremos de nuevo y se lo recomendaré a familiares y amigos

Really good Chinese food and good value for money!! Have good from here regularly and always good quality and large portions for the reasonably prices, would definitely recommend

Whilst staying in the area on holiday we popped into the Panda Garden for a takeaway. After making 2 requests, one that we swap our boiled rice for fried rice and two that they leave out the onion BOTH these requests were ignored, They then took 40 mins (Monday and an empty restaurant).

Hard place to find since the sign blew down a couple of moths ago apparently. I don't know why this place is not a success since it's right in the middle of town. Staff don't seem to care sit around on the sofas etc. But why?? It's a potentially good business. Anyway my food was oily greasy and tasteless. But don't give up on this place tell them to get better. Id love a good Chinese in Ruthin but currently it's just not good enough - sorry!

Went here for what we hoped would be a very nice evening meal on a Friday evening, grubby stair carpet leading up to the restaurant, not very inviting, but we were hungry, only 2 other people dining when we arrived & another couple later, but did seem to be doing a lot of takeaways, although there was some draught beers on the menu, the only one they had was called Pandora? ( note the name of the restaurant,) lol I asked who brewed it , but the lady/owner didn't know, it tasted crap. some of the food served was ok but the fried rice was crap, I think it was probably warmed up from another day,it looked & tasted like it, most of the Rice was left.Good luck to other customers dining there.

Empty. Staff more interested in taking phone orders despite being the only table needing to be seen to. Nothing vegetarian on menu. Very oily starters. Stale Prawn crackers. Made me a veggie dish... Tasteless slop. Didn't eat it. Husbands dish... Ok but nothing to write home about

Hidden away in Ruthin is a delightful Chinese restaurant. We ordered the Panda special fried rice, the chicken with seasonal vegetables and sizzling beef Cantonese style. From the bottom up, the sizzling beef was tasty and sizzling, but a little saltish and probably the least impressive dish on offer given it was most expensive and smallest in meat (but plenty of onions and sauce, no other vegetables). The chicken with seasonal vegetables was tasty and in line with expectations however whilst there was plenty of chicken meat, the variety of vegetables was a bit limited so don't order this if you want lots of vegetables. Finally the big surprise of all was the house special fried rice which included chicken, pork, roast duck and prawn... in a separate dish on top of the fried rice! We thought they had delivered the chicken with seasonal vegetables with the rice but after inquiring why we had so many plates, we realised that the fried rice actually came in two plates making it a delight and great value. It was the tastiest dish, had a great variety of vegetables in the dish, and the fried rice even on it's own was great. Would highly recommend this.Unfortunately the restaurant was a little quiet (i.e. we were the only people there) and the staff member seemed a little occupied with telephone orders but overall no complaints as she was very friendly and helpful. The chilli was refilled promptly and she had initiative to bring extra tea cup for my wife who had not ordered a drink. Must also be noted that this restaurant offered exceptional value at GBP 25.5 for the three dishes and tea. Hard to argue with this price. Highly recommended to visitors (and it's also very close to walk from the castle).

Recently went here to try the local Chinese restaurant. Had a chicken foo Young, Was lovely. Really enjoyed it and will go again.

Although some of the reviews were rather negative, decided to give it a try and very glad we did. Restauarant is hidden away upstairs in a little mews and quote hard to find. Service was very pleasant and not rushed which was a nice change. There were a few tables occupied which gave it some atmosphere. Menu choices are excellent and very good value. Only negative was that they didn't have any draught lager, only bottled. Would recomment and will return next time we are in Ruthin,

I didn't experience the food because I couldn't find the restaurant. I think it must have closed. If, indeed, it has, then it should be deleted from Tripadvisor and save a lot of people a lot of time!

Food was cold and late; even had to phone up because it was nearly an hour late. Coincidently came 5 minutes after. I would understand if I lived far away but I live down the road so the food must've been cold when it left the restaurant. Nice food but no good as it was cold. Cold chicken. Not good. Used to be my favourite takeaway but has somehow gone downhill since my last food order! disappointed to say the least. Even debated whether to microwave the food.

Tonight we ordered a takeaway at 7.50pm and were told that it would be 30-40mins which was fine. After an hour we rang back and was told it was on its way. It then took another 15 mins to arrive ( which is literally a 3 min walk). Once we got the food there was stuff missing so we had to ring back again! Then then said they "will cook it now". Overall it took over an hour and a half to get the food we ordered!! There was no apology and/or discounts either.The food was nice but I thought the service was disgusting. If it was a busy fri/sat night I wouldn't have minded but it was a dead Sunday night.

Set in an old building of great historical interest the restaurant is typically dressed accordingly.We went for one of the set meals for two which i have to say every course was delicious especially the duck though i had to settle for chicken n sweetcorn soup which was v nice but please give me a hot n sour option!The service was good by a young lady who has been working there 10yrs every cedit

The food was nice and the service was good. Its in an interesting building and nicely decorated in a traditional Chinese style

Really enjoyed our get together at the panda gardens last night.staff were lovely making us feel so welcome.food was delicious and plenty of it.was even given a doggy bag to take my meal home.will definitely return.thank you x

Have not used for a while but when we did food was good, staff where friendly still hearing good reports.

Absolutely terrible food ! Starter and duck where fine but got to main course and the prawns where totaly gone ! The smell was horrendous ! Me and my girlfriend didn't finish our main course and left immidietaly service was also terrible !

I ordered a delivery at 7.30pm, I was told it would be with me in an hour. At 8.45pm I still hadn't received the order. I contacted them to which they told me it would be with me in one minute, the driver had just left. 9pm arrived and the order was still not there! I contacted them once again. I was then told again that he was on his way and would be with me in 5 minutes. Bearing in mind that I live a 5 minute drive from the restaurant I told them I had heard it before. The order finally arrived at the house at 9.15pm - 1 hour and 45 minutes after I ordered! The food that arrived was ok but greasy and at that time of night we had gone past wanting it. Will not be rushing in ordering from there again!

The food was not up to standard, was full of onions the meat was just fat. The member of staff who served us had an awful attitude. Survive was poor and food took two hours to come. People who came in after us got food before us which we believe to be racial discrimination cause the staff were of asian origin. Members of staff forced people to like then on facebook. I will not be going to this restaurant again as it was a waste of money.

Me and my family went here tonight for my mums 50th birthday meal, the service was absolutely amazing!! The lovely lady put banners up last minute for us and my younger nephew ended up being sick all over the restaurant before we had our meal and the lady went out of her way to find a top for him to wear, really can't thank you enough, your hostess skills are second to none!! Thankyou all very much for your excellent service and great food, will most deffinatly be returning :-)

Hands down the best Chinese restaurant in the area, lovely staff, a lovely setting and beautiful Chinese food. Would recommend this to anyone visiting the area with a hankering for noodles!

As I enter, I'm fascinated by the small odd building that's right in the middle of this lovely town. It's a quirky old building and do not expect to see the wonderful lay out with old beams, complemented by the red table cloths. It's very cold so wrap up, but they tell me the building is old! My partner and I ordered a mixture to share, almost like a banquet like they serve for very reasonable price! The duck was cooked to perfection, we ordered a quarter, but could definitely go for the half next time. For main, king prawns in black pepper (a wonderful tastebud surprise)! Sizzling fillet steak, sweet and sour ribs and Malaysian fried rice. Definite complements to the chef.The staff don't seem very bothered, but it's understanding as it was so quiet. After eating there, I think I would definitely start ordering the odd take out every few weeks! I would go again, but wear alot more! An ideal place to have a larger table as it seems the perfect place for a family meal. It's a shame the don't offer any buffet nights.

Cold and unwelcoming, If you like onions then you will be really happy as every meal is bulked out with them and not much more.Much better take aways and better places to eat than here

The food here is pretty good. We visited a few time recently in a group and never had any problems and the food has always been served reasonably quickly (always a little bit of a problem with a group) and the quality has been fine.The décor is a bit outdated but it is pleasant enough. The service is good and they are always willing to help with choices if needed.I would recommend it and we will certainly go back again.

Food excellent an very nice portions, only let down is service bit slow but if you like a rest in between courses an make a night of it it's great as there is no rush :)) staff quite pleasant enough but could do with a bit better customer service. Overall a pleasant evening an luvly food.

This is weird, but, if you have a meal in the restaurant it is generally ok, quite tasty, but if you ordered this meal to take away, it is awful, and I think it must be down to the containers or they change the ingredients slightly?? I do not know why this is, but I cannot eat the take away food from here. OK for a sit down though.

Ordered a take away, when it came one dish wasn't right. We often order from them and never have a problem usually. when I called to explain they had sent the wrong dish it wasn't at all their fault and they weren't prepared to exchange it or apologise. we have our works xmas party there too and it certainly won't be happening this year. I was extremely shocked by the attitude and the way I was dealt with.

Went for a meal with friends and opted for buffet D £56 for 4, it started with soup, then crispy fried duck, then 5 meals with a very large bowl of special fried rice, it was delicious and unless you're a big eater doubt you'll get through it. Well presented and good service too, staff really attentive. Will certainly be visiting again when next in the area.

We had a take-away from here last week. Nice looking restaurant and good atmosphere if you're eating in.Food was OK, didn't think it was anything special but good portions and reasonable prices.

Panda Garden is located near to Ruthin town centre,upstairs in a sort of shopping centre.The food is delicious and very reasonably priced.We have only had takeaways,not eaten in,but the waiting area is luxurious compared to most Chinese takeaways!Comfy sofas and magazines to read.

Efficient service with good food, piping hot, with generous portions, and well-cooked. Good value for money. Would definitely eat here again.

I have visiting for take a away for many years now, always very friendly with a nice seating area, the order is always correct and the food of a good standard.

We have visited here with the children and they have no problem finding something they like. Service is good, food is good and value good.

Good choice of menu. We have eaten in and have had Take Aways. Always well cooked - good portions. Pleasant staff. You have to climb a flight of stairs to reach the restaurant. The dining area is large with comfortable seats.

i eat here all the time, the Chinese students at Ruthin school all eat here so it must be good, well worth a visit, excellent food.

After reading terrible reviews of this restaurant on here we proceeded with caution and didn't have any expectations but we were pleasantly surprised. This is the best Chinese restaurant in Ruthin, i'm willing to say it's the best restaurant in Ruthin even! We asked for MSG free meals (malaysian fried rice, sweet and sour chicken,) and got exactly that, MSG free meals and in abundance. Everything was delicious and generous, and prices were really fair. Fabulous quiet restaurant, a lovely experience altogether!

Great food! Would recommend to all. Delicious food! Great service. Eaten here loads of times and never disappointed, lovely place, lovely staff, lovely food!

The worst MSG fuelled meal I've had in ages and the worst service I've EVER had. Totally shocking. Steer well clear!

I visited this Chinese hoping to get a nice sit down meal with my family, it was far from it! By the time the food actually got out it was freezing and was very bland, we also had our food before our drinks!! There is lots of dust around and the toilets were not clean atall, I was very disappointed with there service and would not recommend it to anyone.

We have been to this restaurant and had their food delivered a number of times. The food is always tasty and served hot (temp), the service is good and the staff very friendly. The restaurant can be a bit chilly in winter but that's only to be expected considering its in an old listed building.The deliveries can sometimes take a little bit longer than advised... but the food is defo worth the wait.... and we're not in any hurry.PS... oh yeah forgot to mention.... if you're a veggie... they do bean curd... Hooray!!

Simply great food, welcoming staff, quick service and great delivery timing. All in all Excellent!!!

ordered our food which we were told would be an hour, two hours later it came with parts of our order missing which then they brought the missing orders another two hours later. it was cold, dry and soggy. Would never recommend to anyone.

This is a good chinese restaurant, but although the food is good, it's not great. I suggest a sit down meal, as the take away food all seems bland to taste. It is good value, and service is very good.

Lovely staff, lovely food, not greasy like some places! Would recommend to all. Cheep for a takeaway and not bad if you sit either.

Had two meals at this restaurant over the three nights we recently stayed in Ruthin. We thoroughly enjoyed the food and found it to be good value. Staff were friendly and service very good. Restaurant was a bit chilly and décor could be better, but we didn't find this spoilt our experience.

Had a meal here with my partner whilst staying in Ruthin. I don't know what the poor reviewers ordered however our meal was fab..the best Chinese I've had in year..The soup was excellent as was the duck and sizzling chicken. The service was excellent and the decor - well lets say 'quirky'..The price was great and the restaurant was nice and warm on a cold November night..If in the area, give it a go and make your own mind up..

Just moved to the area and we thought we'd try the local chinese well what a mistake the food was bland and had no flavour it was full of msg and covered in grease we won't be going back

Read previous reviews and must have been unlucky. Starter. Horrible, frozen and reheated. Main. Not too bad. The place was freezing cold. Really unpleasant experience and slow service. The place could be lovely without all the tatty decor, warm it up and improve the quality of the food.

Our first night in the area we fancied something quick. So we saw this Chinese being in a small rural area we were not sure what to expect. Oh my gosh this exceeded expectations it was amazing. We got the set meal for 2 and it was amazing value for the price. The soup was the best I ever tasted and well I cannot speak highly enough if it. It is really a shame that we didn't eat in. I am gutted that we live so far away otherwise I would be back so much sooner!!!

We use this restaurant to fulfill our takeaway craving. The food is always delicious and ready for pick up. The staff are always very friendly and accomodating. We have never eaten in but it always looks rather quiet. We would highly recomend as a takeaway option for the Ruthin area.

Have never been disappointed with the meal at Panda Gardens. Their service is fantastic and the food great. We will be back!
