The Customer Service was not great. I called to place a Take Out order and the young lady who answered the phone stated they did not take orders over the phone, that I had to come in and order in person. Odd! I was able to order via Uber Eats, the food was ready very quickly. When I went in to pick it up, the set was odd had to go around on the line of people who were waiting to be seated, there was no easy access for pick up orders. When I arrived there were several take orders waiting which means that you can order and pick up without being there in person. The crowd also seemed super young. I ordered the spring rolls, chicken satay and lobster fried rice. The spring rolls weren't the greatest, had a particular taste that I've never tasted in spring rolls. The Chicken Satay looked good and were well cooked, the peanut sauce was excellent. The Lobster fried rice was tasty and had a fair amount of lobster. Overall food was good, customer service wasn't a win. read more

Food was average. Won't be coming back. Also service was trash they didn't want to bring us a hookah, enforced a table time limit when people were there way longer. The mouse running across the room as we were leaving was the icing on the cake. read more

Panda is definitely a unique dining experience! We took the train in from Connecticut for a fun date night. The blend of hip-hop culture with Chinese comfort food is such a creative concept. I have to say I was blown away by the quality and flavor of all the food we had that night. I'm very particular about bao, and Panda passed my test. I really liked the green apple addition in the bao - I've never seen that before! The pork fried dumplings were great, and so was the spicy kung pao chicken (definitely a bearable spice). I chose the pork lo mein for my meal, figuring I would have leftovers since the menu stated it served two people. I was a bit surprised at the portion size that came out, especially for the price. It's definitely a single portion size that I had no problem finishing, unless you would be sharing it for a side, but I think stating that it would serve two was a bit misleading. It was yummy though! The drinks weren't bad. Our service was exceptional! Plates were cleared quickly, our glasses never went empty, and the food came out quickly. This was definitely an experience that my boyfriend and I don't usually have, and it was fun to have a taste of NYC nightlife without going to a crazy club. read more

The food isn't nothing like when I went there a couple of months ago, I swear the fried rice tasted like it was sitting in a pot not an ounce of just fried tasted or even woked around. The lightening in there is so dim that it seems like they don't want you to see what you really eating. The drinks were ok I swear the last time I was there I couldn't wait to go back,never again! A waste of time and energy. I will say the place has a nice set up and the music is on point but that food has get better!! The man who served us kept forgetting what we wanted and he made a comment that we didn't pay which if we didn't pay why would we be standing around taking pictures make it make sense Giovanni read more

Panda Harlem - Chinese Near Me - New York, New York

The only thing good here were the drinks. Greeted at the door with "do you have any alcohol in your bag?" Then the hostess checked us in and took us to our table. The staff was pretty nice but we were sat in the back towards the kitchen entrance or service station and I kept getting splashed with some kind of liquid from somewhere. The food was super over priced and mid at best. Also they include gratuity plus a 3.99% fee for using card. 2 gross apps and 3 drinks came out to about 120 dollars. Left to go have dinner at another near by place after suffering through the tiny apps that tasted like they came from a frozen food section of a grocery store and just drenched in spicy mayo. Save your time and money and go elsewhere. read more

Went to Panda Harlem for my birthday dinner and I had an amazing time. The music was great! (rap/hip hop) it was loud enough to enjoy but not too loud where you couldn't have a conversation at your table. The drinks were strong and delicious. I highly recommend a reservation if you go on a weekend because the place was packed on a Sunday night. The food was good and fairly portioned. They also serve hookah!! I will definitely be back! read more

The food is pretty good the ambiance is nice but the service may be another issue and I'm not talking my server she was great like many other restaurants that pretend to serve a higher class the up charge is crazy the fees that were added are ridiculous not only that I came with a large group and was told we have to take a package instead of just being allowed to sit which when the bill came they added admin fee and told me it's for helping to book and planning but nothing was booked for them to add that charge I even got charged for paying with cash. The drinks averaged $20-25 they all had extra ice in them even thou I asked for lite ice. I'll end my review with this if you come here just be prepared to spend more than you expect. read more

Just your regular overpriced Chinese food with an aesthetic background to show that you're an "influencer baddie". Literally made a reservation 3 weeks in advance for 5 people, and they shoved us in a very tight table for 4 people. When asked about moving our seat, they claimed that all the other spaces were reserved for big parties...guess the fact that we had a reservation too means nothing? Ended up being so cramped and the table was so tight with all the dishes. On top of being cramped in the corner, we were also rushed to leave. What a joke. The drinks were good, but the food was on par with Sei Less, just pricey for no reason and mid at best. I would skip this place...mandatory gratuity included for you to have to scarf down your food while banging elbows with the person next to you. Music was 10/10 however! read more

It's up once the hookah man arrives...10/:10 food is amazing drinks are amazing and the music is everything

Nice ambience and really good drinks! The food was honestly pretty good I took some home. It's a bit pricey but the food and drinks were worth it. I would recommend! read more

Panda Harlem - Chicken and Broccoli and Passion Fruit Martini - Chinese Near Me - New York, New York

This was a change from the ordinary. Panda had a club-like atmosphere with dining. If you like music rap music you will hear it here. A bit on the noisy side. The food was awesome I had the ribs which were very good along with the Chinese rice. Service was great and on time. Didn't have to wait long for food to come. read more

Beautiful space but the staff had attitudes as if they didn't want our money. It was very disappointing. For a place that's so aesthetically pleasing we will not be coming back read more

Came here for brunch on Sunday. On social media, i.e. Tik Tok and Instagram, it looks jumping for the weekend brunches and dinner. They open at 12 on Sunday and the place was empty when we arrived at about 1:30pm. While I waited for the rest of my party to arrive, I sat at the bar and had a lychee martini. The bartender was sooo nice but the lychee martini was soooo sweet. I usually get a lychee martini when I go out but this was the first time it wasn't as enjoyable. Once everyone arrived, we sat at our table. Our waiter checked in with us and gave us ample time to figure out what we wanted to eat and drink. We did do the bottomless drinks which includes either mimosas, frozen henny coladas, or frose. I stuck with the mimosas the entire time but my friends said that the frozen drinks were good and you can actually taste the alcohol. They do have a pre fixe menu which is mandatory for parties of four or more. Since we were a party of four we had the option to go a la carte. The brunch menu is pretty much the dinner menu and this is the one thing I think they should work on. There should be entrees that differentiate between brunch and dinner. The menu didn't have anything that seemed super amazing, but the food was good. I wouldn't say that it was anything out of the ordinary. At about 2:30 the place finally started to get a bit full but it still wasn't a lot of people there. They were also playing old school r&b (sad music included) which wasn't the best selection. Overall, I'd definitely go back if things got a bit more livelier and the menu was updated. read more

Food was mediocre at best.. Management SUCKS!!!!!! Like really bad!!! Went for a birthday dinner, they moved us twice due to them overbooking. Then didn't have 4 seats at the table so the brought a 4th chair. The bday person sat down, the chair collapsed. They brought another chair, same thing. It took 4 chairs before they got it right. No real apology the guy who claim to be the manager was not empathetic and didn't even offer the bday person a round of drinks or appetizers. Since the bday person doesn't drink. Trashy ass management that needs to go to hospitality training!!!! Note: The bday person is 5'8 around 175 pounds clearly they kept bringing broken chairs. read more

This is a nice restaurant great ambiance I came here after work on a Thursday they now have buy one get one on all frozen drinks the bartender let me sample all of the frozen drinks which were all really good my favorite the frozen lychee martini and the don julio margarita for food we had the filet mignon and broccoli, shrimp fried rice, and vegetable dumplings the food was really good. They have a dj at 8 pm on Thursdays and hookah nice spot for date night or dinner with the girls it is a little pricey but it's expected with these after covid prices lol. read more

Gave 4 stars because I went there for the vibe - which it delivered. The service was good, and the food was decent. Only thing that threw us off was the Chicken Satay. Odd orange coating with a not so good sauce on top. I sent it back and ordered dumplings. I'm from Boston, and our chicken satay is always skewers of chicken pieces. But my main complaint was the cost !! Go for the great vibe, but be prepared for sticker shock read more

I had the shrimp & broccoli. A little too sweet for my liking but it was cute ‍ will go again to try something else. The aesthetics and vibe was cool read more

The drinks and food were good and we enjoyed ourselves. There was a bit of delay during points due to the busy hours on a Saturday. Some drinks were better than others. We had a good experience all around. read more

Didn't know what to expect from this new restaurant but we were all blown away on how amazing the food was! cocktails were strong, but delicious.

The food was great the frozen drinks were even better and I enjoyed the service. I will definitely be returning.

I want to start by saying the ambiance of this place is top tier. From the art, to the music. Just chefs kiss. The food is actually VERY ENJOYABLE. We started with Bao Buns and Fried Pork Dumplings. DELICIOUS. We then ordered a Sidecar, Strawberry Margarita and. Passion Fruit Martini, also DELICIOUS. As main courses, I got salt and pepper shrimp and my homegirl ordered the shrimp and broccoli. We shared a carb and that was the highlight of our meal . I will say I really wish that these NYC restaurants will really stop with the 90 minutes on a table and then not even be coy about letting you know your time is up. Don't take all day taking my order and brining the food to then rush me up. It activates my petty. Please, give it up. All in all, great time! FIRE MUSIC, HOOKAH AND, FOOD. Would absolutely go again. read more

This experience was underwhelming and pricey. Ordered scallion pankcakes, chicken and broccoli and kung pao chicken. Scallion pancakes were generally good. Sauce was tasty. His chicken and broccoli was just ok and my Kung Pao chicken was so overcooked the meat was tough, with lots of sauce over it. While the sauce had good flavor I didn't want to eat sauce for dinner. I ended up just not eating my meal. Ordered pick-up so I can't speak to the service but food was ready on time. To sum it up, I have no interest in returning. read more

Panda has a great atmosphere and a menu that is sure to satisfy. We enjoyed the Kung Pao chicken & Beef fried rice plus some other appetizers. Overall great food, a welcoming atmosphere, and an amazing DJ. read more

Our Host Tony was the greatest! The food was underwhelming and oddly everything was sweet. If you're going to be pricey at least make sure your food is above ok quality! Let's discuss the two bills cash and credit card bill...... huh am i at a gas station?The Tik Tok videos strike again, the vibe was lack luster. We won't be going back. The dragonfruit mojito round one was great! Not round two, meh. Bao buns were ok. The filet mignon beef and broccoli, i was expecting a great dish. Beef in a sweet mess. I had high hopes but it utterly let me down. Revamp you recipes, everything can't be sweet and bleh. My review is a little over the place like my meal. The three starts was for Tony! read more

Had the pleasure of dining at Panda for a close girlfriends birthday last weekend. You felt the vibes as soon as you entered with graffiti on the walls, hookah in the air, and modern hip hop, dancehall, and rnb playing through the speakers. We were a larger party of about 12 people or so, and were swerved family style. Let me just say, I had the best Caesar salad of my life in this restaurant. It was like Suga Mama done put her foot in it! I had a very strong Passion fruit lemon drop which in fact, made me drop. I highly recommend the walnut shrimp. Also if your in the mood for dessert, THE CHEESECAKE!!!! Ion even like cheesecake like that, but I was damn near licking the plate. I didn't get to take too many photos due to me indulging in the food all night, however you would be playing yourself if you don't give Panda a try . read more

This a very trendy establishment, with a great location. I went in the evening and I definitely got 'lounge' vibes. There were plenty of photos ops, and there was music playing - a bit loudly for conversation but it was good. The cocktails tasted great and the pricing was comparable to other locations in the area. There was a rowdy table nearby and security approached the area quickly but just kind of lingered close by instead of intervening or trying to diffuse the situation. Food tasted great and portions were shareable, keep that in mind! Parking was a bit challenging so we did valet and they parked my car directly in front of a hydrant which made me nervous, but nothing ever transpired. read more

This place was absolutely delicious and the ambiance is everything. During our of my city excursions, I stopped by with my boyfriend and family and it gave me everything I was looking for an more. The music was good, the food and drinks were delicious and I cannot wait to come back! read more

Everything was excellent service included. I can't wait to go again the menu is very optional

They discriminate against people with disabilities. I was denied entry due to my "shoes" which were the only Ones i can wear with my current injury. Also, their phones don't work. Very trashy for a place selling $40 fried rice. Its also located in a sketchy area under the bridge, they "valet" "luxury" cars on the SIDEWALK, and every woman i saw walking in was overweight and over 30 lmao you better off at Sei less read more

I've been seeing this spot pop up all over Instagram! So I've decided to come here with my boyfriend for date night. When we arrived there all I saw was the panda mural and red doors. From the looks of the photos on Instagram I thought this place was a lot bigger. Upon entering, I remembered the old spot that used to be here. The decor of the spot looks awesome! Whoever the artist is, did a wonderful job. The food was good the staff were great, however it took forever for our food to come out. Couples who sat after us received their food first. To order I ordered the passion fruit martini, spicy kungpao chicken and my boyfriend ordered scallion pancakes fried chicken dumplings and chicken and broccoli. Of all the food we ordered, the scallion pancakes were my fave, the only con is the dipping sauce was too salty. The drinks were delicious however not strong enough. The vibe of the music even the people were all a total package it looked great in here. We didn't have reservations but they definitely accommodated us and told us they needed the table back a hour and a half later but there were plenty of tables and they never rushed us. I have mixed feelings about this place because it is still fairly new but I did like it overall I just don't feel I need to go back. read more

So my homie who is a little uppity wanted to go here for her going away event. It was in my opinion a very trendy Chinese restaurant that's good for Instagram photos. Now don't get me wrong the food pretty good and they give you alot. It's a nice little environment, but a panda with a chain is always gonna be corny to me. Very much catered to black peoples. Meal was about $50-$70 a person for 4 people and I ordered alot of shit plus drinks. I would go again with a big group for a celebration, but not like a local go to spot. read more

small portions, watered down drinks, black people advertised on wall art and one person of color works inside but security, waiter was unprofessional hidden weird prices, but the DJ is very good like really good most be the reason there still open read more

My family and I were there this Saturday (2/4), party of 14. The decor , music and the vibe was on point. However I was quite disappointed in the delivery of services. As... it was prefix menu which included 2 hours of unlimited alcohol beverages. The waiter intentionally took his time to bring our beverages. When we were just about finished we were told that it had to be finished. By the time he came back it would of been finished because they took so long. The drinks had so much chaser you didn't taste the liquor of choice. I was totally taken by surprised that it was served "Family Style " ... like we were at a group home!!!'I was disappointed because I wasn't informed of this serving and was prepared for 3 course meal of my choice. Then we never received our desert!!! The food was alright...Nothing to scream about. I've had better local Asian food in the hood. For over $200 per person I felt the entire Pre-Fix should have been worth your funds. The only thing that I really enjoyed was the music, decor. I was able to lay eyes and speak to Swiss Beats. He was only there for short time at the bar. I was informed that this restaurant was overpriced with surprise charges. However I'm independent thinker and want to celebrate with my love one. Everything that was stated about this place was true!!! Not worth the money or commute from Brooklyn. read more

I went to Panda Harlem for the first time last night and it was such great vibes. Hannah the assistant manager was so welcoming and super friendly! She made sure to get our table ready fast. Drinks were great especially the dragon fruit margarita. Ariel the bartender made them so good! Food was delicious as well! Alex was our waiter and he was attentive I would definitely go back. Thank you so much Hannah!!! read more

This is the same as any of the other restaurants like it. Same menu, same bland taste. If you want to pay expensive money for subpar food just for Instagram and tiktok bragging rights be my guest. Sei Less, Jue Lan and anything alike are all the same. It only gets two stars for the URBAN ATMOSPHERE. read more

Tried this new place and it's a similar menu to Philippe Chow but a smaller version. Food ain't that great. Had a few apps chicken satay, lettuce wrap, dumpling were ok nothing special. Rock shrimp was good. Filet mignon with broccoli was just horrible. No live DJ and ambiance wasn't that great plus it was a night club before so it's basically the same set up. Valet was $40 which is ridiculous. Philippe Chow or Brooklyn Chophouse way better menu and food. read more

Our server was impeccable! Very attentive and friendly. Will come back again just because of his great service. Thanks so much Hasim!!

Just want to say that my server name HASIM was great and I enjoy the vibe at HARLEM I felt welcome and the food was great

I recently made a reservation for 3 at 8:00pm. We arrived on time and were not seated until around 8:50pm. We had to wait by the bar where all 3 of us ordered drinks while we waited. When we sat down we ordered appetizers, our meals and side dishes and another round of drinks. Our bill came out to about $300 plus Hookah ($50) plus the drinks we ordered by the bar which approximately was about $15 each. Long story short, while we still had food on our table plus a new round of drinks, we were they asked us to give up our table. The food was ok, but the prices and service not so much. I don't think I will be returning to Panda Harlem again. read more
