Pandada in Purbeck

Disregarded some negative reviews and took a chance. Excellent food and portion sizes. Our first visit as just moved to the area, and definitely recommended.

Phoned through order told 15 mins, ready when I got there, hot and delicious, full containers would highly recommend. 5 *

Ordered meal , 10 minute wait no problem, went to collect waited another 20 minutes asked the lad behind the counter if our order was ready went to check , our order had been waiting for the whole time I’d been waiting, got home stone cold , just not good enough..

Ordered as a takeaway, chilli beef had no veg or sauce, Hong Kong style chicken clearly had food colouring, bright red and tasted of pure vinegar, no sweet at all. Really awful, we are locals and will never use again!

Used to like this place, food used to be good: since Covid: 1. Only accept cash??? Why. Not sure reason behind it 2. Restaurants is closed so ordered a takeaway; while waiting I asked if I could use toilet paper: answer was no sorry: we do not have one!!?? Seriously? Why can’t a customer use a toilet? Not impressed

One of the worst chineses I've ever tried, we were in the area on holiday so gave here a try. The chilli beef was burnt it was awful no taste!! Never been anywhere to only get 6 chicken balls for the same price as I normally get 10! Portions were small, chow mein was absolutely tasteless! Fried rice just seemed to he boiled! The pots of sauce were tiny! Prawn crackers were the best thing probably! The beef was nice in the satay but the satay sauce didn't taste of much, chicken too yung was nice. Feels like a huge waste of £50 none of us enjoyed it.

Ordered a fairly large order come to £142 and nothing was missed out the order, plenty of cookies and crackers all the food was cooked lovely and was bang on time couldn’t ask for anything better 10/10

Have had several take aways from here and all of them have been of very good quality and reasonably priced

Wow wow wow what a lovely clean Chinese meal not swimming in oil great presentation and the taste was on point !

GROSS!!!!!!! VILE !!!!! Food was poor it was barely wam spring rolls was stale would not recommend the salt and chilli chips was French fries with some onion on it and they were wet???? curry sauce was thick and small pot GROSS and it was all £60 WAS NOT WORTH IT GROSS MADE ME FEEL SICK!!!

Tried this at the last minute after finding our regular takeaway was closed. Wish we hadn't wasted our money. The quantity of food was plentiful and it was hot and ready on time. The same can't be said for the quality of the food, Egg Fried Rice - funny metallic taste, no egg and didn't look fried. Prawn Chow mien - 3 prawns and skinny vermicelli noodles. Chicken with black bean and green peppers - full of red pepper very little sauce or chicken Lemon Chicken - nice Honey Pork - dried out and over cooked Chicken S/S Balls - nice Kung Po Beef - totally inedible, full of cashew nuts, water chestnuts and raw chilli and far far too hot and yes we like hot and spicy, beef tough. Put this one down to experience will not be using again.

Being the top rated Chinese takeaway within Wareham we gave this establishment a try, we were not disappointed. Having seen some of the less favourable reviews, as a word for anyone else, ignore them. The phone signal at our site is “not the best” almost non existent, so had to drive and take the risk that the cue would be out the door, we arrived at about 8pm on a Friday evening, although busy it was not overrun. Attended too within seconds of my arrival and given a 10-15 waiting time. Fellow take away lovers, it was worth the wait. We had salt & pepper ribs, ribs in capital sauce, torpedo prawns, followed by pork chow main, sesame chilli chicken, and a chicken curry. Everything was delightful. Next time I’d ask for the onion to be removed from the curry order, a little too chunky for our taste.

My boyfriend and I were staying at Parkdean holiday park in Sandford for the week and were in search for a Chinese takeaway that we could eat at our caravan... we were not disappointed! The drive from the holiday park was about 10 minutes, we managed to park right outside the takeaway which was great! We brought an insulated bag with us so our food stayed hot on the journey home. We were served quickly and the wait was only about 15 minutes. The food was absolutely delicious and still piping hot when we got back to our caravan, we ordered: Chicken chow mein Satay chicken on skewers (extra sauce) Duck with mushroom Special fried rice Prawn toast Sweet and sour chicken balls Absolutely faultless, thank you very much

We were on holiday and decided to get a Chinese we were looking in wareham and originally decided on another Chinese. However due to parking we ended up nearer this chinese so we thought we would look at the menu and it looked clean and a lovely shop so we decided to give it a try and I am glad we did! We had crispy chilli beef (which was actually crispy not chewy and the best I’ve tasted) pork chow mein (was not full of sauce and had crispy bean sprouts not limp which was amazing) chips which were for the children if they got hungry spring rolls which wee nice and salt and pepper spare ribs (an a must to try! They were incredible!!!) the service was amazing, we did have a 25 minute wait for food but this gave me confidence it would be fresh and it was still piping hot when we returned to our campsite around 10 mins away. The price was great too I’ve always recommended to my mum who holidays there too and we will return when we are next on holiday

So happy to find a takeaway with really delicious bean curd (tofu) recipes. Black bean sauce is amazing. As are the Kung Po prawns. My favourites are spicy hot, but not to an uncomfortable level imo!

Staff seemed happy and polite shame the food was the worst Chinese we ever had spent over £60 and throes it all in the bin.

Cannot recommend this Chinese enough! Such friendly staff members and very very good food! We order from here a lot and it’s always such a high standard!

Beautiful here on a holiday with friends got a take away here my word the food was amazing I could have kept eating it all night truly lovely

We found this takeaway on a recent visit to Wareham after deciding to use google as a guide to find somewhere. Very reasonably priced & we received complimentary prawn crackers & fortune cookies too. The food wasnt at all greasy & we all really enjoyed everything we ordered. Would definitely recommend.

First - check the address if you are unsure where this place is! It is now at 33 North Street not as the address showing here . The starters of Crispy Seaweed , Ribs and Chicken Satay were nice - the mains of Beef and blackbean sauce and sweet and sour chicken were fine, Egg fried Rice good also got some fortune cookies thrown in too.

Great food, great menu and great staff. We come here for takeaways quite often and it never disappoints. They have a great menu, pleasant to deal with and the foods always lovely

We have been getting take aways from here for a number of years and they have always been good. Tonight, though, was just superb: the crispy aromatic duck was particularly succulent.

This was the nicest chicken curry with egg fried rice I have had in a long time. Delicious mushrooms, plenty of meat with crunchy onion. Will definately return.

A delicious feast! Customer service was spot on, we had salt and pepper squid (the most amazing I’ve had) crispy beef, special curry and fried rice. Do not miss this gem in Wareham!

Honestly amazing food. We go here together for a takeaway and have never had a bad meals the staff are absolutely lovely, really friendly and we would recommend to everyone who visits wareham

I am back again 😂! Regularly have their food every week. It’s fabulous. Just got a nice Christmas card and small gift from the lovely staff. Want to say this is the BEST Chinese takeaway in Wareham ! Definitely recommend it.

My husband and I just passed by on a rainy chilly day, and we decided to grab some food and eat in our car. The young Chinese lady who packed the food for us was very nice and considerate. She helped me A LOT with...

Great food with friendly staff. They are helpful during this pandemic period. Always come here to but a takeaway. Very good service.

Food is usually ok but the staff member on duty on Tuesday night needs to sort herself out. Extremely rude doesn't even cover it. We are local and won't be going here again. Tip: In these times you should be looking after your customers not...

We were staying at wareham forest lodge and fancied a Chinese so checked on TripAdvisor and came across pandada....a great takeaway and great service. Food was great and highly recommended.....staff were friendly and it was ready within 20 mins pf phoning thr order through

Shared a takeaway with friends. Good food with some different things on the menu. Good value too. Worked out at £10 each

We had a takeaway from here tasted nice and fresh and the noodles & rice were really nice. Would use again.

Visited on a Saturday evening. Takeaway so busy that had to stop taking orders! Had a set meal for 4 in the restaurant. The food was excellent and plentiful and the server was very attentive although she was rushed off her feet.

We had a nice takeaway here whilst staying at a local caravan site. Only frustration was they have no presence on the internet to check out the menu to pre-order so we ended up going to the shop itself and doing it the old fashioned...

Quick takeaway on a sunny evening. Only special fried rice and sweat and sour pork balls. Special fried rice, fine, pork balls as expected but..... The sweat and sour sauce tasted like a fusion with strawberry jam. It was do sweat that the pork balls...

We were the only table customers, although it seems to be popular as a takeaway. The food arrived swiftly and was hot, tasty and filling. There is a very extensive menu showing excellent value for money.

family run, reasonably priced restaurant which you could easily walk past. good choice of meals and tasty too

Consistently good food, I use this take away on a regular basis and have always enjoyed the food. Staff are very friendly as yet haven't had the pleasure of eating in the resturant

Restaurant decoration a bit tired. Carpets worn and windows not clean. However all our food was nicely presented and very tasty. Reasonably priced.

We had the set menu option and the food was delicious. The service was efficient and the price was competitive. The only thing that let it down was the flat glasses of coke served.

This restaurant/take-away has a food hygiene rating of 4, how is that possible? We wanted take-away and ordered house special chow mein and pork fillet with ginger and spring onion with fried rice. While we were waiting we looked around and realised we had made a mistake by coming here. There is a heating unit above the entrance door that has not been cleaned for months, all the light fittings have a thick layer of grease and dust on them, the carpet is frayed, the paintwork needs some serious attention and there was a bunch of dead flowers on one of the tables.As for the food, the fried rice had not been fried and the rice was overlooked and therefore starchy and clumped together, the pork fillet was mainly a container of onions and the pork itself was tasteless and like rubber,the chow mein appeared to have been cooked previously and had been heated up on more than one occasion. We had one mouthful of each and put the whole lot in the bin. A complete waste of £17.

Daughter’s favourite restaurant. Salt and pepper spare ribs are the tastiest. Crispy Duck pancakes delicious. Thankyou

Whilst this restaurant lacks a bit in decor and style the food more than makes up for it. This restaurant produces some of the best Chinese food I have ever had. If you and really it’s worth the try you must try the crispy pork belly..

great food, great service, great value for money.. small friendly restaurant, quick service, visited as a couple and also in a large group, both times it was wonderful food.

Having had a meal here that was great although felt service was slow. Have thought about getting a take away this weekend no access on line and no place out side to pick up a menu as not everyone can come up to collect a menu and would need to order then have it collected by a third party, seeing that your food was so lovely think you are missing out on a lot of housebound people who would love to enjoy your food but can't get you takeaway menu or collect in person

Ordered a takeaway and was advised it would be 55 minutes!! Went to collect it, expected restaurant to be very busy, but there was only a couple finishing their meal and a family of four eating. The lady who served us was not particularly welcoming. Saying all this, the food was fresh and tasty.

Best Chinese takeaway by far. Far superior to the ones back home. It is also a very nice friendly sit down restaurant.

We come to this Restaurant every time we come to Dorset,and we have been coming for the last 10 years,and the food is still great,well worth the visit

Great value for money with it only costing 12.30 per head (2 people) for a takeaway with 20% discount. Woman server was very polite and welcoming too. Would visit again.

Nos detuvimos en una comida dentro del restaurante. No era mejor satisfechos con el servicio, ya prácticamente nos dijeron dónde sentarse en lugar de preguntar si los asientos estaban bien con nosotros. Sólo tuvimos un par de minutos a mirar el menú antes de que estábamos siendo demasiado preguntó qué queríamos, ni siquiera preguntado qué bebidas queríamos primero. Aparte de el servicio, la comida era increíble y todavía nos fuimos contentos. Sólo espero el servicio será mejor la próxima vez que visitemos.

Los visitantes anuales a Wareham, pero nunca he comido comida china. Decisión de impulso para conseguir una comida para llevar china en esta visita, y elegimos Pandada.

Two ladies + 12 & 14 yr olds.Arrived 9:45pm and asked for a table which we were (severely and) ABRUPTLY TOLD "we close at ten thirty!"Whilst looking at the wall clock, I coolly asked the female 'greeter' if she'd like us to leave .. and she repeated "we close at ten thirty!"So I repeated MY question.The only other two people inside were already dining and appeared as uneasy as 'greeter' made us feel!She told us to sit by the window and we did.We persevered because our 12yr old wanted to experience Chinese food and the only other food available was in local pubs .. so we stayed.I've experienced lots of Chinese food and must say the flavours here are second to none .. quite exceptional in fact .. so all praise to the chef!It's just a shame we were greeted SO badly by possibly one of (if not) THE most unwelcoming sullen Chinese women God put two feet on!I kept calm. Possibly aggravated her with my insistent 'CUSTOMERS' charm, banged down my cutlery after she ignorantly BANGED down our dishes and decided the only tip I would give her is this one:YOU ONLY GET ONE CHANCE TO MAKE A FIRST IMPRESSION!

Decided to go last minute as the pub had a long wait for food, so on a very rainy night we found Pandada.Even though we were a large group and it was late, the staff made us feel very welcome. There was a good choice on the menu and the prices were very reasonable. We all ordered drinks, starters and mains. The food was of very good quality and you could tell it had been all good from fresh. The bill came to about £12.50 per head.Would go there again if in the area.

Had a takeaway last night. Spare ribs were lovely. Nice amount of meat on ribs. Asked for fried rice and got boiled!!Would have been happy but it was all stuck together.Sweet and sour chicken decent not fab .Kung-fu beef with more Chinese veg than meat.overall disappointed!!

Stopped here last Friday. Didnt fancy pub grub.Wasnt much to look at from outside but there was already quite a big party in there,Well food was excellent plenty of it, Best chicken curry ive had in ages!!

We usually head to the Pandada before a trip to The Rex Cinema, as the restaurant is just opposite, opens at 17:30 and we can be assured of swift service, so we don't miss the start of the film. I've never had a bad meal here; the crispy shredded beef is really good, as is the Thai Red Curry and the salt and pepper chicken. You can also get a decent bottle of Chianti at a reasonable price and the service is always efficient and well-mannered. We recently grabbed a take-away order from the Pandada too, and it was consistent with our dining-in experiences. I would recommend the Pandada if you are in Wareham and looking for a tasty bite to eat that won't break the bank or leave you running late.

In this part of Dorset, there is a shortage of decent Chinese take aways.We decided to give Pandada a shot.We decided £20 a head for the set meal was a bit steep so we went with a selection of the menu. There is no online menu that we could find so we had to go in person to see what what to order.We got a free goodie bag when our food was ready, which was a nice touch.Take away gets a 20% discount from the menu prices which makes the prices a little better.So on to the food. Well starters were all good. We had the mixed hor d'oeuvres followed by duck pancakes. You get 6 pancakes with a 1/4 duck, so if there 2,3 or 6 of you, all well and good.The mains were a bit of a let down. We had beef with ginger and spring onion, pork with ginger and spring onion, chicken and cashew nut and chicken satay, all the dishes looked like a container full of onions in gravy with a few bits of meat in. The chicken with cashew nuts did have some other ingredients in, but on the whole, very onioney mains. Very poor considering they are charging £5.50 to £6.50 each dish.So my advice is not to bother or just go for a load of starters.

Food average, over salted/msg'd. Part of order missing, which we only realised when we were 5 miles away. Pandana not very helpful when we rang and eventually offered to send us a cheque for missing item (without knowing our address!). Afraid rather a lot got wasted, which I hate. Only here on holiday so won't be returning.

Staying at Sandford holiday park, chose to get a Chinese takeaway as a last minute decision. Didn't know of any in the area as not local but Pandada popped up after a quick Google search. Very nice food from here. Reasonably priced too. And we got 20% discount on collection as well!

Decided during the day that we would return that evening for a meal which we all enjoyed, Not very busy apart from customers collecting their orders. Possibly return again.

A promised return visit, the food again was superb, the service impeccable. A fair indication of the quality was a constant stream of take away customers on a Monday evening, not a night you would think to be rife with customers.An enjoyable visit.

Friendly staff, although service was a little slow to begin with. I would recommend this restaurant.

Nice and friendly however don't expect your food to come quickly. Was freshly cooked and not bad size portions, little over priced but worth a visit.

We had high hopes for Pandada (given that Wareham's other Oriental eateries are very average) but, alas, we came away underwhelmed.The Yellow Bean Chicken main course stole the show- 'stole' being the key here, as it appeared that the majority of the meat had been stolen before we even picked the food up (maybe the chef was peckish?). I've never seen so little chicken in a 'Yellow Bean Chicken' dish (maybe 4 or 5 small chunks, max). But, if Yellow Bean CARROT is your thing, you're in luck- the dish was positively bursting at the seams with small carrot cubes?! The biggest shame was that the actual sauce itself was rather tasty. But, alas, we felt robbed.The Quarter Duck was served pre-sliced/crumbled and was average (and very crumbly), and the dim sum starters were particularly forgettable.The stand-out dish was a Spicy Noodle concoction.In short, proceed with caution: there's every chance you'll get ripped off. Unless you crave tiny carrot cubes, in which case you're quids in.

been here a several times, food quite nice but staff never the friendliest i have met.I would recommend the food.

Dim sum yum yum and best black bean sauce in Dorset hands down. In fact I've just decided to take my daughter there right this minute he he!

Great Chinese meals and our favourite local restaurant. We are always really pleased to eat here . Excellent service .

I moved into the area almost a year ago and really wanted to try this restaurant. Although I was put off by the fact that there never seemed to be anyone dining in there. I did notice however that lots of people got takeaways from there so I finally decided to try it and boy, was I happy I did. The whole process was so easy. I got the number on here, and chose the Szechaun chicken with egg fried rice as I noticed a number of recommendations on here for it. It was ready within 20minutes. When I went to collect it, it was all ready to go. The helpful girl at the desk pointed out where I could get a takeaway menu (I didn't have one so originally tried to order something not on the menu). The food was absolutely delicious! The rice was cooked to perfection and even had a hint of a flavour which I haven't found in other Chinese restaurants and the chicken was perfectly cooked and tasted amazing. I can't comment on the atmosphere as I didn't stay and eat in but it seemed pleasant enough to me. I am already looking forward to my next "takeaway night" so I can try out the rest of the menu. My favourite part is that I wasn't left with that horrible chinese-y aftertaste that you can get in some Chinese restaurants.

We really wanted to try a new Chinese takeaway as our local (bovington) does not leave you wanting more! Glad we went here as all the food was lovely and fresh and took more than 5 mins to cook which can be a worry. Best special fried rice I've had in a while.

Excellent takeaways. Best Chinese we have found in our area. Efficient service. Food of an excellent quality. We drive twenty miles to pick up our meals from there.

We have a takeaway nearly every week. Yum. Great Thai curries, Singapore noodles and pork dumplings. Great value 20% off for take away.

My lemon chicken & special egg fried rice was delicious, My daughters mushroom fried rice & spicy beef was hot & tasty, hubbys chicken balls & rice were excellent - the sweet & sour sauce was not the best he had ever had. There was gentle chinese music playing creating a pleasant ambience. The waitress was discreetly attentive. We will definately be back.

My partner and I were visiting the area over the bank holiday weekend and decided to try this tiny little restaurant. To begin with we thought not much of the decor but did not let this deter us. The food arrived and smelt amazing tasted amazing too,fresh and full of flavour. Best I've had in this country and I've had the real deal so I will let you be the judges. If your in for a chilled evening no rush this is a lovely welcoming place to eat and would recommend to anyone. Never judge a book by its cover.

Lovely food best in Wareham. Terrific value. Huge portion of egg fried rice in recycle able card box. Fortune cookie with takeaway.nMust try it. Phone order through, pick up menu from restaurant. Food usually ready in 20 minutes.

Good, friendly service, free crackers and fortune cookies. Tasty and good quality. Was recommended by a local..they know best

I have had several takeaways from here (always excellent) and last week went solo to eat "in house". Faultless food and good service.Lady is not great at English but she is getting better

We love a chinese meal and this small restaurant did not disappoint. The waitress welcomed us and was attentive but not overbearing. The food was delicious. The decor is a little dated but it made no difference to the enjoyment of our meal. Would recommend.

For a cheap fresh, quick lunch this is the best value in Wareham.Whenever we visit Dorset we always eat here at least once during our holiday and the veggie options are excellent and freshly cooked.Cant beat it!

This was our second visit and we find the food good, at a good price and freshly prepared. Service is not particularly warm and friendly but polite enough. A good chinese very welcome in Wareham.

We always visit this chinese every time we visit Dorset, my wife and I have never had a bad meal,the food is always freshly cooked and delicious ,I love the beef curry, the best I have ever eaten. Well worth the visit

Reading the reviews for The Pandada, I was struck by the positive comments on the food and the negative comments about service and attitude.My wife and I ate there on Thursday 12th March 2015, the food was sensational and the service impeccable. I can only think that other peoples' experiences with the level of service are a reflection of how many people in the UK treat waiting staff - in my experience you get back what you put in.All in all an absolute gem of a restaurant and one I will be going to again on my next visit to Dorset.

I am local to Wareham and while I don't often eat out, dining here is a pleasure.Food is authentic and not too salty. Decor is subtle as is the backround music creating a relaxed ambience. Staff are all Chinese. Being reasonably well versed in Mandarin, I find it easy to get along.The main purpose of this review is to tell you that it's the best option around, by a long shot.Secondary purpose is to call out an unfair opinion given by another reviewer.dizzyfairy_11 gave a bad overall rating despite mentioning that the food was very good and the starters were overpriced (some people want everything for nothing I suppose).His/her gripe was with the perceived bad attitude of staff. By her description, I gather that dizzy has not had the pleasure of the mainland Chinese idea of professionalism ie. Not acting familiar with a client or patron as being over friendly may obviously be construed as false. Another point that may have escaped fairy_11 as it does every other xenophobic bigot, is that English is not the young waitresses first language. I can attest to the fact that it is in fact her 3rd language. Bearing that in mind, she probably gets by as best she can, even thought she has narrow minded westerners rolling their eyes at her all day long. Try speaking Chinese, as I do. Or are you so high and mighty that learning another's language is beneath you?Some good advice when dealing with people from other countries: Do not attempt to engage with the ignorant preconception your parents likely instilled in you to believe that people in the service industry need to shuck and jive when ever you decide to grace them with your presence. It's disgusting.Peace

was lucky to get in, as had the last table, and just in time too, as others after me were turned away. good fast service, and all 3 courses were good, nothing extraordinary however, but not bad value for money.

The food was very good however we were the only customers in the restaurant as it was colder inside temperature wise than outside. They need to invest in more up to date radiators as the heating was on but sooooo cold. We had to keep our coats on. Plenty of takeaway orders coming in.

Food was not upto the mark. only duck and pawns toast was fine. I dont understand how any chinese restaurant cant make good fried rice. i will not recommend this place to eat.

Set meal for two with extra salt and pepper squid because we love it, bottle of house wine, all for £43, bargain. Waitress friendly. Love the food here.

This is my husband and I's favourite restaurant, we rarely eat out anywhere else in fact, the food is authentic and delicious not like the greasy tasteless rubbish you get at most Chinese takeaways. We eat in and takeaway frequently and have no problem with waiting for an order as it's worth the wait!

We have recently been refused service twice for a takeaway. This is after making the journey to come in to the town to place an order after the phone rings and rings.It's quite obvious that they cannot handle more than three tables in the restaurant. I would say to this, employ some more staff or don't open at the weekends.It is a shame because the food is good, but not not good enough for us to beg for service. We will never be coming back and would advise anybody who asked to avoid it. The owners don't care if they have your business or not. Go somewhere that does!

Food was actually really nice (quite expensive) but we definitely didn't experience service with a smile! Service was a little slow and the only waitress was very stern. The lighting was very dim and given how much the bill came to i think they may have been able to afford to turn the lights on! May not return but really fancied a chinese and it was the only one in the area.

This place is 2 extremes. The food is very good, but the attitude of the woman who serves you is bordering on that of a prison guard with a bad hangover. This place could be packed every night if they had good service. Can someone please explain to her that her attitude will be just keeping customers away and they would probably be much more successful by hiring in staff with good customer service skills.

We thought twice about entering what looks like a run down Chinese but actually the food was very good. Very few customers eating in but plenty of take away orders. The waitress was rather offhand, possibly because she was taking table orders, telephone orders and serving all at the same time. She gave us a nice smile when we left though! Because she was so busy our food was delivered to our table slowly, dish by dish, whereas it would have nice for it to have been served all together. Excellent beef and green peppers in black bean sauce and Singapore noodles. The crispy pork belly was a bit of a disappointment. Overall we would go again.

We ate here in mid April and regreted it:- the waitress was miserable to the point of rudeness- the resto was cold on a cool evening- we were the only customers (surprise!) apart from a slow stream of take away customers - that didnt add to the atmosphere.- the food was bland and matched the poor atmosphere.

Firstly, I don't come from a town renowned for its culture so I'm not looking at this from a superior position.The food was excellent. The service patchy.When we went into the restaurant, there was a guy waiting for a takeaway and a couple sat at a table eating.The waitress was taking a phone order when she deposited the menus on the table with an uninterested demeanour. When she eventually returned to take our order she did show more interest and was happy to take our requests for adjustments to the menu. IE - mushrooms instead of peppers. The problems we had came from the customers that came in afterwards. Shortly after we arrived a group of four guys came in. They had obviously been enjoying their day and were a little loud but they were not rude and kept themselves to themselves. Just a few minutes later another group came in. From the over loud conversations and the 'banter' they started giving to the four guys, it was apparent that they were locals and, presumably, regulars. The six new people changed the whole atmosphere of the place and were so loud and obnoxious that, after our starters, we arranged for the rest of our order to be a takeaway so we could leave ASAP.I know that the restaurant cannot always control those coming in but these people have affected me from recommending eating in the restaurant.

Too tired to cook so we had a takeaway, unusual for us, from Pandada Chinese Restaurant and very nice it was too. Tasty but not over spiced and msg as we have found chinese meals can be. and we will use the service again when we need another takeaway.Glad I thought to bring a menu home!!

Service was awful...waitress wasn't around. Cold in the restaurant too cold to eat in..ended up having takeaway 40 min wait and not busy. Food came was tasteless. Would not recommend and will never return

My fiancee and I visted during the chrimbo limbo and a saturday night -we were the only people in there! There were lots of people collecting takeways but otherwise it was empty.We had a delicious meal and it was a shame the place lacked any atmosphere.

There really is something for everyone at this restaurant.Nothing appaers too much trouble. The wine list is as good as the quality of the food, which the cheftakes a pride in serving just as you like it.We will now bw regular visitors.

As Chinese takeaways go I think this one is good. The food was less standard and had a more home cooked taste about it than the average Chinese takeaway. I agree with some of the others that a smile from the girl who serves would be nice! I would recommend the food here.

After reading previous reviews, we were very wary about booking a table for 7 at the Pandada, but we had a delicious meal with prompt and friendly service. There were two other groups dining at the same time, as well as people collecting take away meals. The restaurant was comfortable, pleasantly lit and conveniently located in the centre of Wareham.

Food was fine, but the owner was very quiet and unfriendly - having said, the singapore noodles were great, probably best to stick to take away!
