Panda's Kitchen in Harrow

What a great find! Delicious and authentic. The whole fish was the standout for me! Portion size is generous. 2 cold starters and 2 of the special meals (duck & fish) with rice was more than enough for 3 hungry people. The black cloud ear fungas and cucumber salad was amazing too. Our very generous meal for 3 with drinks came to £109. Service is optional. Will definitely return.

Customer service was terrible. Never received my sweet and sour chicken and they still tried to charge me for it. Food was ok nothing special. Every time I called for staff they would ignore, and when they did come it took 5 minutes just to get their attention. Wouldn’t recommend.

I have been to tons of Chinese places, but this one is something special. Every bite is fresh and flavourful. The staff is always so friendly. I will be back for sure.

Best Chinese restaurant in north west London . I couldn’t image any better place to have a transitional hand cooked meal to celebrate Chinese new year! Highly recommended. Tina has been so helpful and knowledgeable, next level of service! Can’t wait to return .

Having seen numerous positive reviews, I visited this Chinese restaurant in the hopes that it would live up to the praise. Unfortunately, the reality was far from what was promised. Our visit started off on a positive note with a smooth ordering process. However, what followed was a frustrating experience marred by unacceptable delays and service inefficiencies. After placing our order, it took an unreasonably long time for our only starter to arrive. Despite raising our concerns twice, we were merely offered prawn crackers as compensation. Meanwhile, three tables that arrived after us were served their starters before us, highlighting a significant issue with the restaurant's order management. Once we finished our starter, we patiently waited for our main courses. Unfortunately, we witnessed another five tables being served before us, in a restaurant that only has around 12 tables in total. When our mains finally arrived, they did not come out together; instead, each dish was served with a 3-4 minute gap. This staggered service resulted in our curry arriving well before the rice, meaning our food had gone cold by the time we could actually enjoy it. To add to our dissatisfaction, one of our dishes, which was specifically ordered as vegetarian, was served with oyster sauce. This careless mistake is completely unacceptable, especially when dietary preferences and restrictions were clearly communicated. Instead of acknowledging their oversight, the staff asked if it was acceptable, forcing us to request a replacement. The remade dish took even longer to arrive, further testing our patience. While the restaurant’s ambiance was pleasant, the excessive waiting times and disorderly service overshadowed any positives. Watching other customers who arrived later being served before us was extremely frustrating and unacceptable. Overall, this dining experience was disappointing, and despite the potential for a great meal, the service failures left us feeling neglected and dissatisfied.

Phenomenal experience!! We were stunned to discover such an amazing place nearby specially when the food is so delicious. One of the best Chinese restaurants we tried. The staff is lovely and welcoming. I'd suggest trying the pancakes and fried duck (veg), spring rolls, wontons in chilly oil, and the mock chicken with peanuts was perfect! We shall be returning and come often since it's sooo worth it!

Some dishes are good that’s why we usually go whenever we visit Harrow. However I don’t know why one waitress think if their guests are Chinese then they could ‘tolerate’ bad service more. On New Year’s Day when we arrived there were still many empty tables and we did have a reservation. One waitress led us to a comfortable sofa seat at the beginning but a Chinese waitress disagreed immediately and assigned us to a table which is closest to the door, where was really freezing. The reason she gave was that seat was reserved for a larger group. And she said “since we all Chinese then squeezing a bit should be okay.” But in the end no large group came and two non-Chinese guests were allowed to sit there. I’m not attacking any staff personally in this restaurant. Actually I think they are all good people. But I just can’t agree with the outdated (if not discriminating) thought that Chinese guests should be more tolerant. I think every guest is equal and deserves the same right, treatment, and quality of service. This experience in general is disappointing and it was New Year, when we expected to have a cozy and warm night.

Lovely decoration, friendly staff, loved the fresh cooked Chinese food! They have a Chinese new year menu starting next week. I am coming for that!

Love the food! Loved the atmosphere, hostess is very warm and knowledgeable!

Customer service was pretty bad. The lady taking orders and assigning tables was really rude.

A great atmosphere with very friendly staff. Ms. Tina told us the story of our dish, where it is typical, super interesting. I can only recommend it.

I give it an overall of a 100/10 this is our third time coming to eat dinner 💕 and this time we have come with my parents in law. The service was amazing, the food (hot pot) was great and it’s very recommended by my husbands, parents in law and myself 👏 thank you very much !!! We will surly come back hungrier next time

Delicious and friendly restaurant:-) did try it first time and we did have a nice dinner. Authentic Chinese cuisine 👍 Forgot to take good photos of dishes as they looks tasty and we quickly eat it.

As a fan of Asian food, when I came to live in Harrow I tried to look for Chinese and Thai restaurants in the area. After trying some that I didn't like, I arrived at Panda Kitchen and now I can't stop coming. The food was great and the hot pots were better. They also teach you how to make hot pots yourself, the place is incredible. On the other hand, the kindness of the waitresses and the patience of the waitresses (Tina Qing and Qing Qing) to teach you how to eat this type of food is worth giving it 10 out of 5 stars.

Great food. The sea spice aubergine was amazing!

I just want to thank Tina who attended to us with so kuch live and care! I recommend everyone to visit here as it’s a lovely atmosphere, the staff are fantastic people and the food is just amazing! Cannot wait to come again! Thank you again Tina!

Love this place. Very clearly the best chinese food in harrow. I love their salt and pepper squid. Sometimes it is more flavourful than others, but it's always really good. I also really like their duck pancakes. I've been there with friends and they really appreciate the veggie options. I do secretly wish they would put salt and pepper chips on the menu

Delicious and delicious, it satisfies my Chinese stomach. Excellent customer service. The hostess is so nice and kind

This was the worst dining experience I’ve ever had in the UK. We had a reservation for 6:30 pm on Saturday. When we arrived at the restaurant entrance, a drunk old man was blocking the main door and wouldn’t let us in. My husband tried to communicate with him while I stood outside their glass window, waving and knocking to get the staff’s attention to let us in. The staff inside noticed me but ignored me completely. I tried twice, but the response was the same. At this point, a man, who seemed to be a staff member, came over with another guest and squeezed past the drunk man to enter the restaurant. Meanwhile, the drunk man grabbed my husband. My husband told him, “Please let go of me,” and the moment he did, I pulled my husband away, and we left. Throughout the entire incident, even though the restaurant staff were aware of what was happening outside, they did nothing to help. Regardless of how good the food might be, I will never come back to this place. It made me feel extremely unsafe and uncared for.

Just called to inquiry about delivery and the lady pick up the call is extremely RUDE and hang up my call as I was still speaking. I have been a guest of the restaurant for several years, always been good, But this rude lady make me doubt my choice. There are many Chinese restaurants in London, an impatient service like this will absolutely stops me from ordering from this Panda's Kitchen again.

Food was absolutely tasty. Service was above and beyond. Thank you Tina for ensuring we had a great time and for your warmth. I would recommend this place and definitely come back for another meal!

This restaurant is overrated. The grilled fish was cold, probably pre-made. The ingredients didn’t seem fresh, the service was mediocre, and the ambiance was just okay.

Excellent food and service. Quite a small restaurant so would recommend booking in advance. We went there quite late and got seated straight away.

Excellent food. Some of the best Chinese I have had in London. Service was excellent. And the food is really good value for money

Fantanstic and authentic Chinese food with nice service, will come next time :)

Nice food and friendly stuff, most recommended dish: Wasabi Prawn

Fantastic food, lovely staff, will definitely come back.

The food is top class, with the service to match.

Lovely food, amazing service. highly recommend.

First time here and it is amaaaazing! The team here took such good care of us and the food was fantastic! I’m vegetarian and they made sure all of my food was prepared separately and all allergies were taken care of. Highly recommend! Thank you Panda Kitchen! 💖

I'm by no means vegetarian however after coming here with some colleagues and being asked if I could eat vegan I happily complied. And I'm very glad I did. Tasty mock duck and mock chicken that had texture. Spicy kicks and numb tongue from the tofu dish. A truly good meal that happened to be vegan. I was quite impressed.

Good food, came out quickly and very friendly staff.

Delicious food. Friendly staff.

Every dish is excellent. We had the seabass which was incredible. Every sauce was thick and flavoursome. Every dish large and filling. Our table loved everything we were served

Great experience. Excellent service and authentic Sichuan food.

Taste relay gooooooooood after one year i eate tasty

Very lovely food You have to try the home made chilli oil Very good taste All staff are very friendly amazing 10/10 service

This was the best quality takeaway I’ve had for a long time. Chicken curry. Perfect balance of spice and taste, the meat was good quality and the rice was fresh.

Very normal authentic Chinese restaurant. Every part of this is so "normal" in terms of the decor, tables, food etc. It's good

The best Chinese restaurant I have eaten at in London in the past few years. It tastes great and makes people feel appetizing at first glance. The portions are also large, but the presentation is exquisite. The best thing is that the dishes are also very fresh, the taste is moderately salty, the heat is just right, and the food is served very quickly.

Very authentic Sichuan food with a taste of home!

The food is delicious, stuff very warm and friendly,

Hello Panda's Kitchen, My family came here after a friend's recommendation. We came to the restaurant without any booking. The staff were friendly and accommodating with the children. Service and Food was great from Len and the rest of the team. Many thanks we will be coming back.

This food was the best authentic Chinese I have ever had. The salt and pepper chicken was unreal. Lovely atmosphere and Tina is a good hostess.

What a great spot. The hosts were so friendly and kind. It was my sons birthday, they really made a fuss of him and it was magical. The decor is very bright and uplifting. The staff are excellent and the food is delicious. Watch out for the spice. I was tentative but it is as great as they say ! Enjoy.

Lovely food great customer service

A very delicious restaurant, especially the braised beef brisket. Highly recommended! !

amazing food and kindest staff. they gave me free dessert because they knew i was going through a hard time.

Great restaurant. Food is very tasty.

As a Chinese, I would like to say that this restaurant is an authentic restaurant. It’s not only a beautiful restaurant, but also it has a delicious food. Service is great as well!

It tastes very good and is warm to eat.

It tastes great and delicious. I highly recommend it. You can try it. The lady boss is also very nice.

First time trying. It’s more of an exploration at first but we really liked the food and will be coming back again. Recommend the 糖醋鱼， 辣子鸡 and fried kuay teow.

The food was outstanding thank you so much I have been to many Chinese restaurants this was delicious and so fresh! The staff were also amazing Ended up ordering more food to take home 😃❤️

Always a super friendly service and the lunchtime deals are excellent value for money! The food is always so tasty and piping hot even after a walk back to the office.

Amazing vegan food, really lovely atmosphere and staff

This place is absolutely flawless. The sichuan duck, mapo, all the appetizers and dessert. The staff are incredibly nice. I love this place.

Great food, music and staff! Some of the best Chinese food in London.

Love love love! Never been before but it was my daughter's 11th birthday and she wanted Chinese. I can't fault this place at all. The food was so authentic and you could tell the difference in quality with the "usual" dishes like duck and squid. Everything was perfectly cooked, and a fast service. Warning that if you can't deal with spicy food, check before you order. The mains we got were very spicy. However that takes nothing away from them. They were lovely people who love what they do. They sang happy birthday to my daughter, gave us drinks and desserts for her birthday too. So helpful with ordering and never pushy. Just great people. They even took a photo of her to remember her visit by 😍 I've eaten at hundreds of Chinese restaurants and I can't think of one better than this. I'll be coming back. Brilliant service and wonderful food.

Couldn't fault this place! We came for lunch on a Sunday afternoon - we had mains for the lunch menu plus several starters. When they heard we were here for our daughter's birthday, they brought out a dessert with a candle to sing Happy Birthday. We order salt & pepper squid at every Chinese restaurant we go to, and this was the best! Also absolutely loved the gyōzas and the crispy duck. Our waitress also suggested the seaweed salad which was delicious. Thank you for such wonderful service and excellent food. ❤️ We'll definitely be coming back.

Food and service bang on point. 2 starters, 3 mains and 4 beers came to £72 so not cheap but the food was awesome. Shout out to the service staff - always smiling, humorous and super friendly. Highly recommended.

Excellent service. Staff are friendly and very kind. Food is authentic and portions are generous. The lunch menu is great and the price is good.

Wow the food here is so fresh. And staff are ever so friendly and happy. What a pleasant place to eat authentic Chinese food. Harrow has lots of restaurants, but Panda's kitchen is definitely the best . Lots a vegetarian option. I will be back.

Best Chinese food at Harrow. So clean and food are delicious. Just like my mum s cooking back in China. Will be back !

Wow, what a gem! Best chinese food in London. Hot pot, dumplings, tofu etc… love the authentic Chinese food. Will be back!

I’ve now been to Panda’s kitchen twice in two weeks and can’t wait to go again. Absolutely delicious food with warm and friendly service. I honestly can’t fault any dish but my favourites were the smashed cucumber and the dry wok cumin potatoes and lotus stem. You have to visit if you’re a fan of Sichuan food or want to give a completely new flavour a try.

Panda Kitchen was a delicious and delightful experience. From the welcoming staff to the succulent food, it was a great dine in with my family. Definitely recommend a try; worth the money and second visit.

My husband and I recently dined at Panda's Kitchen and were once again reminded why this restaurant is one of our absolute favorites. Harrow doesn’t have many decent authentic Chinese dining spots, so discovering Panda's Kitchen has been a delight. We ordered the special Mao Roast Duck and Stir Fried Green Beans on our latest visit. Both dishes were bursting with flavor and truly showcased the authentic taste of Sichuan cuisine. The roast duck was perfectly seasoned with a delicate balance of spices, while the green beans had a satisfying crunch and just the right amount of heat. Another go-to for us here is the Double Cooked Pork, which never disappoints. The layers of flavor in every bite show the care and technique behind each dish. The atmosphere at Panda's Kitchen is laid-back, making it an ideal place for a relaxed meal. The staff are always friendly and welcoming, adding to the experience. If you’re interested in tasting some genuine Sichuan food, Panda's Kitchen is well worth a visit!

The food quality here was just on average but definitely not 4.7. We finished eating after an hour. Since there were many empty tables, we chatted for another hour by sitting there. The waiter there opened the sliding door a bit and let the cold wind to blow in, and wanted us to leave. After paying, and walked by the cashier, the manager there complained to other waiter and waitress that we sat there for too long and still didn't leave, even opening the door to let the cold wind to blow in.

Thank you so much for your hospitality and your amazing food. Full of flavour, great portion sizes and truly delicious. All the staff were so friendly, attentive and made us feel very welcome. The menu caters for all tastes including young children. Venue cosy and warm! Look forward to returning soon.

Most of the food was average at best but the sweet and sour chicken we had was 10/10. Best I've had in London Service was great. Atmosphere was nice.

Amazing service. Very caring and kind staff.

Very good food and service, and nice atmosphere. We’ll go again for sure.

Amazing restaurant, great food, friendly atmosphere. Staff are amazing. Tina was a great hostess and supplied complementory treats at the end 👍

Best Chinese restaurant! Tina is brilliant! What a lovely experience. Haven’t been in a such high class service restaurant in a such long time.

Wow !! The food in this place is outstanding… don’t just go out for a Chinese.. go out for a panda chinese ! You won’t be disappointed.. there was only 2 of us so didn’t get to try everything..so if you’re going here take your friends & you can try & share lots of fab dishes .. thank you Panda !! & as Arnie would say "Hasta la vista, baby 😎

Panda’s kitchen did not disappoint! Not only did we have great service from Mohammad but there were various vegan options, we were spoilt for choice. Everything arrived promptly and tasted authentic. We can’t wait to visit again!

Spicy but delicious . Great service and plenty of parking outside

Nice food good serve lovely view would recommend 👍

What a fabulous meal. Food was so tasty. Service amazing and attentive. Definitely be back for more.

Delicious Chinese Food with Friendly Service! I recently visited Panda Kitchen in Harrow and was thoroughly impressed. The restaurant offers a wide variety of classic Chinese dishes, all freshly prepared and bursting with authentic flavors. I tried the sweet and sour chicken, which was crispy and perfectly balanced between tangy and sweet. The portions were generous, and the price was very reasonable, especially considering the quality of the food. The dumplings were another highlight – soft, juicy, and packed with flavor. I was served by a middle aged nice woman with glasses.She was friendly and attentive, making sure we were well taken care of throughout our meal. The atmosphere was cozy, and though it’s a small space, it feels welcoming and comfortable. Whether you're looking for a casual dine-in or a tasty takeaway, Panda Kitchen is a great option for Chinese food lovers.I’ll definitely be returning!

I was here last week, a middle aged waitrose with glasses served us, she is extra helpful and the Chinese food here very authentic amd fresh. highly recommended

The Food is delicious and the service is outstanding , i do recommend for Sea food and sweet and sour chicken they are just breathtaking

I just ordered from this restaurant and the customer service was fantastic I ordered wrong and they was very patient with me and attended to my order thank you soo much guys

Thank you the delicious food, thank you for the good customer service and thank you for drink offer 😀. What a humble staff. Thank you very much

one of the best chinese restaurants in london, better than most in chinatown

This Chinese restaurant is just average. The Szechuan-style dishes are inconsistent, with some being good while others fall short. It’s an okay spot for a quick lunch for below £100 for two, but nothing stands out as particularly good or bad.

Very nice! Authentic sichuan restaurant!

Really good taste. Highly recommended

Really good highly recommended!

Delicious food and the owner is so lovely!

The food at this place is amazing, tho pricey.

So good food and the service was really friendly and went the extra mile. 10/10 edit: CAME HERE AGAIN AND GIVING A HUGE SHOUT-OUT TO THE WAITRESS TINA! Thank you for the amazing service. Nice to see you and see you again soon. We felt very looked after.

Very nice restaurant. Food was delicious and the staff were very kind. Would definitely recommend this place and will be going there again.

The best grilled fish in London!! The restaurant is very clean with lovely atmosphere and super friendly service! Highly recommended!
