    Pork Chop
    Rochelle 'Shella' T.

    Most of the dishes were good. It's not an authentic-flavored Taiwanese restaurant but it's better than going to a fast food Americanized restaurant. I especially liked the cucumber salad and the spare ribs. I found the beef pancake roll's sauce was on the sweet side. The kids liked the pork dumpling. For people looking for authentic beef noodle soup, this is not the place for it. But it's a decent dish.

    If you're into cozy vibes, adorable décor, and dumplings that actually deliver, Dumpling Panda is an easy yes. The moment you walk in, you're greeted by rows of little panda figurines lining the shelves and a giant panda mural surrounded by bamboo steamers on the wall--honestly one of the cutest restaurant setups I've seen. Now let's talk food. The soup dumplings were the star of the table--perfectly pleated, delicate wrappers with that rich, savory broth inside that makes you pause for a second before your next bite. Soft, steamy, and full of flavor. I also ordered the honey walnut shrimp, which came out crispy, sweet, and creamy with just the right crunch from the candied walnuts. Dangerous in the best way. Rice was fluffy, portions were solid, and everything came out looking just as good as it tasted. Even the sauce bowl was cute. Service was attentive without hovering, and the space felt clean, bright, and inviting. Dumpling Panda is definitely going into my comfort-food rotation. Great for a casual lunch, date night, or when you just need dumplings to fix your mood.

    This place was quite disappointing. I am not sure if the good reviews are mostly based on takeout, but the dine-in experience was not good at all. There also isn't much ventilation, so you will end up smelling like food. We were seated quickly, and the dining area itself was not very busy, but service was still fairly slow. There is also not much seating inside, which makes the space feel cramped and not ideal for dining in. The restaurant seemed more focused on takeout orders, and our table felt largely ignored. We ordered chicken lo mein, Mongolian beef, honey garlic chicken wings, beef pan-fried dumplings, and vegetable fried rice, and overall, everything was just mediocre. The dishes came out sporadically over 30+ minutes, so by the time one plate arrived, we had already finished the previous one. The chicken lo mein was burnt and oddly topped with cilantro, which did not work with the dish. The Mongolian beef was okay, but nothing special, and definitely not the best version of the dish that I have had. The chicken wings had an off taste and seemed undercooked. The vegetable fried rice was very salty and extremely oily. The beef pan-fried dumplings took the longest to arrive and were the worst dish of the night; the filling was thin, shredded beef with a strange bulgogi-like flavor that did not suit the dumpling at all -- definitely would not recommend ordering them. There were three servers on the floor, but only one appeared to be consistently working. The other two checked on us occasionally but were not very attentive, even when we were actively trying to get their attention. At this point, you might as well spend your money at a real local Chinese restaurant or, honestly, even go to Panda Express instead.

    First Time Here. I remember this spot was a not so great seafood joint.

    This review is for both the Ft. Lauderdale and Miramar Locations. I would say both are equally good with the same level of great service. I came across this place while working out of our Ft. Lauderdale Office and looking for a nice lunch spot. Their tagline is "Authentic Bites" and one you taste the food, you'll see there's truth in advertising. The menu is not extensive but there are really great items throughout. The Appetizers are stellar. The Taiwanese Crispy Pork Chop, hits you upfront with bold Five Spice and perfectly cooked pork. Spare Ribs are tender, flavorful and delicious. The Scallion Pancake and Spicy Cucumber Salad are not to be missed. They're all suitable for sharing but by far my favorite Drunken Chicken is no longer on the menu. It was absolutely fantastic and was always my go to. The classic dumplings are very nice but the Soup Dumplings are small but packed with pork, crab, or chicken. There are eight to an order and you may think I can't finish all this but then it's "that went by fast". I haven't had the Fried Rice but the Noodles are excellent. Dan Dan and Zha Jiang Mian are a must try. If you're looking for something more standard grab the Kung Pao, Mongolian Beef or General Tao's Chicken. Not to mention the Candied Walnut and Shrimp is plain delightful. Dumpling Panda will always be one of my go to spots for a nice lunch or a relaxing dinner. Here's hoping they bring back the Drunken Chicken or teach me how to make it.

    Stopped by Dumpling Panda on a whim while in the 17th street plaza for a Total Wine run. I didn't realize they had opened and my husband and I decided to try it with a quick to go order. We walked in and placed an order at one of their very convenient order computers at the counter. We ordered a few different things to try - but I was most excited for the traditional soup dumplings. The food came out really fast! We live nearby so everything was still hot and fresh when we got home! The soup dumplings and the Lo Mein dish I had were amazing and my husband loved the fried dumplings with the cheese on top! The service was super fast, food was fresh and the staff were all very friendly! Overall, this was a really great take out experience and I will definitely be returning for more soup dumplings for sure! 10/10 recommend!

    Ordered from Dumpling Panda again with UberEats. I would say the food was even better than my first purchase. Good packaging. Quick delivery. Will go to the location to see the ambiance. Highly recommend!:)

    This restaurant is fairly new. I think it was a good option for the area. The food is pretty consistent. I do enjoy the food here. The service can be a bit slow. I first went here when they first opened and restaurant was obviously very clean. I have noticed the last time the restaurant cleanness started to decline a bit. Overall this is a good asian restaurant and I recommend it.

    Parking was plenty and free. We happen to land a spot right in front of the entrance! The restaurant was clean and the server was friendly. Soon as we sat down, we dove into their menu and ordered a bunch of items. The arrived at different times which we loved since we were sharing everything. All in all, we shared the Vegetable Dumplings, Spicy Cucumber Salad, Scallion Pancake, Drunken Chicken, Spare Ribs, and Pan-Fried Shanghai dumpling . The little one loved the scallion pancake & the Shanghai dumplings.

    I really wanted to love this because it's much closer than Dumpling King but the soup Dumpling was 6/10. It had a lot of fat in it from the pork which I've never experienced from a Dumpling. It lacked flavor. The place was empty, which I was really shocked. I thought for sure it would've been busy, but I kind of see why between this and the other dumplings we ordered I don't think I'll be back. Somebody did tell me that their rice is better so maybe one day I'll try that.

    I had the best experience at Dumpling Panda last night!! The space is nice and bright with a ton of tables for dine in, and a few outside as well if you prefer Al fresco. You can also order take out on a kiosk at the front counter. The staff quickly greeted us and sat my boyfriend and I. They were so extremely kind and attentive. I asked the waitress for her recommendations for apps which was the wings and bbq spare ribs. We took her recommendation for the ribs and I'm SOOOO glad we did. They were hands down our favorite dish. The marinade was perfection. Looking at them at first I thought they were going to be dry but to my surprise they were perfectly tender and fell right off the bone. We also had the scallion pancake, the Sichuan red chili wontons, pork soup dumplings, and beef pan fried dumplings. We loved the Siuchan dumplings and soup dumplings. The Siuchan had a great flavor, they also make their own chili oil. I really enjoyed the soup dumplings. They may seem small, but they are definitely mighty. Sometimes soup dumplings can lack good soup content but I thought these had a great ratio. The scallion pancakes were just alright (some more crisp than others). The beef dumplings I didn't care for. I felt the beef was a tad too salty for my preference. For dessert we took home the mochi donuts drizzled with Nutella. They were really great. Some bites were just a litttttle too greasy but overall still great. Overall it was a really great experience and I can't wait to go back. We need some diversity in soflo and dumpling panda is the perfect addition to the neighborhood.

    Service was attentive and speedy. The food was super flavorful. One thing I didn't like was the shrimp tails on the wonton. I actually hate it and would -1 but it was taste so they still get 5 stars.

    Quick - fresh lunch spot. We ordered chicken soup dumplings and pan fried chicken dumplings. The soup dumplings were so fresh and filling. Service was friendly. Will be back for lunch.

    First thing, what a cozy place. The staff were very welcoming. Dumpling Panda is on a corner at the Cordova street Publix complex. My friend and I were invited for lunch there. We had fun catching up and enjoying the cuisine. We ordered dumplings (duh) and they had bowls of noodles and fried rice. Everything was delicious! I ordered some scallion pancakes for the table. They were a hit. We chose one plate of crab/pork soup dumplings and one fried pork gyoza. The soup dumplings were nice and juicy. The gyoza were good and enhanced by the house made chili oil. I tasted our compadre's food and now I want to return for a bowl of noodles. We had fun and took home some hot + sour soup. Consumed it while watching Svengooli. Very tasty.

    This is one of our takeout regulars and this time I decided to try something completely…read moredifferent--the Crispy Steak. Now I have to admit, when my butcher recommended their "crispy steak," the idea of a fried steak was NOT particularly appealing to me. But I decided to give it a try anyway, and I was pleasantly surprised! The prime New York steak is only lightly dusted with water chestnut flour, so it's not heavily battered or greasy at all. It just gives the outside a gentle crisp while the steak itself stays perfectly tender. It's thinly sliced and served with sautéed peppers, onions and cabbage in a garlic, soy and burgundy wine sauce. Really, really good! I ordered mine to go, and I have to mention their packaging because I don't know WHAT kind of magic they're doing with these containers, but my food is always still super hot after the 10-minute drive home. Not warm--HOT, like it just came off the stove. I definitely appreciate that with takeout. While I was waiting for my order, I also took some time to admire the many awards displayed throughout the restaurant. Rainbow Palace is clearly an award-winning restaurant, and judging by that collection, they've been collecting accolades for YEARS! The Crispy Steak does cost a pretty penny, so this isn't exactly your inexpensive neighborhood Chinese takeout. But the quality of the ingredients, preparation and portion definitely feel a step above your typical takeout spot. Another delicious meal from Rainbow Palace, and apparently I need to keep working my way through their menu!

    This was hands down one of the worst restaurant experiences I have ever had. It took 1 hour and 15…read moreminutes just to receive our soup. Then we waited another 45 minutes for our entrées. TWO HOURS to have dinner. Our waiter was practically nonexistent. He rarely came to the table, there was no meaningful communication about why everything was taking so long, and we were basically left sitting there wondering if our food was ever coming. After all of that, they had the nerve to charge us full price. No meaningful attempt to make up for the ridiculous wait or the terrible service. When you go out to dinner and are paying restaurant prices, there is a basic expectation of service. This didn't even come close. Two hours. Almost no service. Full-price bill. Completely unacceptable. I would never recommend Rainbow Palace, and I absolutely will not be back.

I was so excited to finally make a visit! Like others have said, Theres a garage or you can park on the street. It was $3.75ish/hr on the street. I'm not sure how much the garage was. We came right at opening and there was already people there! We took a Quick Look at the menu outside. It's at the bottom floor of the garage and the plaza looks like it's in a subway station. It reminded me of Japan! They chose a great spot. It was well thought out. The art, walls, plates were so aesthetic. Services was great as well! I had to start with the classic Japanese food. Although I did want to try everything. Started off with the JFC. It was perfect! Perfectly fried and had just enough sauce. The marinade was perfect. The crisp-perfect. I love that they used chicken thigh. It was a perfect start. It was nice because they waited for us to finish our appetizer before bringing out our entrees and that's never done at a lot of restaurants anymore. I'll start off with the disappointment. I ordered the tonkatsu for myself. I was shocked at how burnt it was. And how disappointed I was that they allowed it to be served to me. It was very dry on the inside. And the whole dish wasnt as piping hot as the karaage was. Kinda like it was sitting on the pass waiting for the ramen to be done maybe? I wouldn't have mind if it was lukewarm if it wasn't burnt. That really bothered me. Not something I expected so early on in the day. But I ate it. It was hard to chew because it was dry. This was my only complaint. I wouldn't suggest ordering this dish. I liked the details. How the cabbage and carrots were cut. I liked the Japanese rice too. I could tell it was Japanese rice. It reminded me of going to mt Fuji when we went to a restaurant there that had the mt Fuji rice. It was perfectly cooked. Not soggy or hard. My partner had the house ramen-ichimora. It. Was. The. Best. Ramen. I've. Had. In awhile. lol. It used to be Momosan but went down hill about 2 years ago. They ended up shutting down this year. Anyway, back to the ramen. It wasn't as thick as Momosan (I like thick broth). But I liked this one too! They are both different broths. The meats were very very tender. Noodles weren't Al dente. But overall loved it. You won't find another broth like that in florida. Another thing I'd like to mention was the plates with good portions. Which I haven't seen done in a loooong time. We were stuffed! Next time I'd like to try their sushi and hopefully bentos for lunch because I miss going to Japanese restaurants that have the bento boxes.

It's in a different type of location -- a very small strip of businesses with only a few spots in front -- in the middle of a residential location. We were driving by between lunch and dinner and decided to stop to bring some food home for a later meal. When we stopped by, we got to meet the owners and chef. They were both very welcoming and friendly. He told us about some special meals and made suggestions. He was preparing some blue crabs for his own lunch, and they looked wonderful. You can get some special meals here, off menu, if you preorder. We went with a couple of our usual choices so we could see how they compared. We ordered some pork with Chinese vegetables and an order of Singapore rice noodles. Plus, for me an order of egg roll. The rice noodles were such a large portion that it filled two containers. And we wound up eating several meals from our take home food. The eggroll was very good. I ate one right away! There were two to the order. It had a different crispy wrapper -- it seemed house made. And it was filled with larger bits of meat. I really liked it. There was a lot of large flat pork slices in with the vegetables. In a brown sauce, there was broccoli, bok choy, pea pods, etc. It came with a side container of white rice. The rice noodles were fragrant with curry, but it only had a slight kick (as in not too spicy). There were lots of shrimp, chicken, and pork strips mixed in with the thin noodles. This dish was addictive. We are so glad we stopped to try them. Really one of the better Chinese places we've tried and certainly one of the better take-out places. Wish they were closer, or we'd be there more often.

    Delicious and so kind. I got the chicken and broccoli dinner combo. Will definitely be back!read more
