I had my first meal in Belfast during my conference trip at this restaurant and I couldn't have been happier. The staff were incredibly friendly and chatty, which made for a warm and welcoming atmosphere. We initially ordered a dish that included bitter cucumber, but unfortunately, it was not available. However, the chef came out and personally explained the situation to us, and even offered alternatives which made us feel appreciated.
I may be biased, but the food was absolutely delicious! And to top it off, the restaurant is conveniently located opposite the Europa Hotel, making it a great spot for anyone staying there. I highly recommend this restaurant for both the food and the fantastic service!
Very good genuine Chinese food if you use the Chinese menu rather than the Western menu. My Chinese wife rated it highly, and as someone that has been to China a dozen times I also enjoyed it. My only issue would be the initial attitude we got when booking - our party had 3 kids and they were very keen to get us in and out early when I called to make a reservation (told me we had to be done by 7pm), but were much nicer when we turned up and they realized my wife was Chinese. Considering late evening family style dining is normal in China, it would be nice to bring some of that culture to the UK instead of pandering to the local rednecks who think kids shouldn't be allowed near a restaurant until they're 16
August 4th- We came here for dinner while visiting Belfast and it was pretty good. The food was served quickly and overall very tasty, though I wish my chicken dish had a bit more protein in it. The vegetable spring rolls were my favorite part of the meal and I would definitely recommend those!
Had a very nice two course meal - clean, and bright, restaurant with friendly staff. Easy to find location, just a short walk from city centre (15 minutes?) and prices on a par with other Chinese restaurants. Will be back 😀
Amazing dinner. Seen many great things about Red Panda on Belfast tourist reviews. Lived up to the hype in my book. Delicious food and would recommend everyone eat here when visiting Belfast.
Best Chinese food I’ve had in the 15 years living in Belfast. Staff were very kind and attentive. All five of us enjoyed our meals.
Having been coming to Red Panda for more years than I care to admit I can honestly say today's set dinner was far an above the best meal we have enjoyed.
Taking a tour around multiple Chinese Provinces you leave Red Panda with a party on your pallete.
Thank you for another wonderful dining experience.
We had 5 course set menu for dinner tonight. Duck pancake was good, chicken corn soup with crackers were good, combination curry was ok, chicken Szechuan was not spicy at all but the chicken was very tender, and crispy pork belly was excellent. Egg fried rice was ok. Ask for chilli oil and soy sauce will take the dishes to another level.
Desserts (fried ice cream and banana fritter) were excellent and the batter was crisp and thin.
I would like to come back to try their dry beef hofun or brisket hofun.
Definitely the best and historic Chinese restaurant in Northern Ireland from 1999.
Gorgeous and perfect idea about Chinese food, the first but also the best.
Went on a busy Sunday evening. A lot of the customers were Chinese, which was a good sign! Although I was told that there may be a 30/40 minute wait for food in the end it was no more than 10 minutes. Good food and friendly service. Definitely recommend.
Food was delicious as always. I always visit here for dinner while in Belfast. Good variety of cocktails and shots.
I’m a tourist in Belfast. We walked into Red Panda as it’s walking distance from our hotel. I must say I was quite shocked to get such good authentic Chinese food in Europe. We have travelled to many countries in Europe and have had its share of westernized Chinese food. Red Panda serves authentic Chinese food. We enjoyed the roast duck, fried big intestine, beef and tofu soup plus the fish with salted veg. Kudos to the chef.
Coming from the US West Coast excellent Chinese food is hard to find. Nearly impossible. We were ecstatic to find this spot in Belfast. We came at 930 PM and food service was still available. Which was great because a few other places were open until 1030 but stopped food and drink service at 9/930.
We ordered the Schezuan Beef and vegetable plate. The fried seafood and spring veggie rolls. Pint of Guinness and a Cosmopolitan.
The food was absolutely delicious. The flavor on the seafood was impeccable.
The staff was extremely attentive. They seated and served us quick but not in a rushing manner. They removed things from the table quickly to keep it clean which I greatly appreciated because in the states they just let it sit and accumulate at the table. I was especially impressed that they waited until our appetizers were done and plates cleared before bringing our meal out.
I would definitely dine here again when visiting Belfast.
Good place to just drop in for a good old fashioned Chinese meal. Service is good, food is tasty. Cocktail menu is available. Just excellent value for money!
Food was fab.
Curry was just how I ordered it.
Extra hot n spicy.
Draught beer was very disappointing to be fair.
Staff so good.
The food was stunning & the service was quick & polite. Would definitely go back again x
