    Scallion Pancakes
    Talaya M.

    Vibes are very nice here, they have a DJ, and hookah if that's your vibe. Their bathrooms are gender neutral and they have a lady working there with all your needs for sale! Now the food was hit and miss on a few dishes, I really enjoyed the fried rice, noodles, chicken wontons, their Shanghai chicken was delicious, and the rock shrimp was not too bad. The chicken satay had some "peanut sauce" but it had a more caramel flavor and the chicken was under seasoned to my taste buds. The filet mignon w/ broccoli tasted better the next day, and the fried lobster was okay but the real flavor was in the legs and claws. The scallion pancakes for me were too thick, thicker than I'm use to. I think I want to come here again and order from the menu myself.

    Chicken Satays
    Bianca C.

    First time coming here I was expecting so much more than what this place actually has to offer. So upon walking in there is a bar that is not being used it's just there has about 10 bottles of bulleit and some empty hookahs around. There was a nice seating area across but it was also empty. I walked down a hallway to a back room and that is where the main dining room is not huge but a good sized space. I was waiting for my friend so I got a seat at the bar, they did have happy hour the menu was small but did have some things on there. I ordered a lychee martini that was ok they make it milky which is not my preference so I immediately changed my next drink to a margarita. My friend got a Margarita then we were seated at a table closing out our tab at the bar prior. I must say we were seated in a high place with one single table no one around us which would be nice if it wasn't next to the closet where employees kept coming to put stuff in. Not to mention by an emergency exit we were freezing. Not comfortable seating at all. We waited a little while before someone came over she asked us what we would like however we were seated without meus so we had to ask for that. We were given a QR to scan then ordered appetizers chicken satay, shrimp satay to begin along with two more margaritas. The chicken was good I've had better shrimp satay before I would say pass on this one. I then ordered the salt and pepper shrimp & the lobster fried rice they both were good portions and had good taste. I did want a sauce to go on the rice they did not have one I was given sriracha which was not good to add to the dish at all. So untimely no sauce was interesting for sauce people like myself eating dry rice is a no go. I think the most disappointing this about this was we came during restaurant week wasn't given a menu so we ended up spending nearly $300 service was mediocre and food was basic not happy about this visit at all.

    Rock Shrimp Tempura
    Olaedo E.

    I had dinner here on NYE. Inside is dimly lit and there was a live dj playing old school hip hop. There was a prefix menu for $70 that included an appetizer, an entree and "a dessert" that we actually never received. I ordered the rock shrimp tempura for my appetizer and the Shanghai salmon for my entree. The rock shrimp tempura was heavily breaded but still crispy and juicy. The salmon was also really tasty, and the bok choy that accompanied it added a fresh element to the dish. I wish we would have gotten our desserts. I'm not sure if I would come back. I expected to dance the night away and was surprised to not hear any afrobeats or dancehall all night. I also didn't care for not receiving 1/3rd of the menu offerings but being charged the full prefix amount. They also add a 20% gratuity to the bill.

    I came here for happy hour and resturant week dinner. I sat at the bar and it was a nice experience. The bartender was really nice but when I gave my card to pay; they could not find it. That's when I started getting worried because I did not receive the card and they told me I did. Thank you for camera because the card slipped in the hole of the card holder and then they gave me my card and two rounds of drinks on the house. So the service was amazing; we had a problem they fixed it and even gave us drinks on the house. That was really nice the manager is great and the bartender was too. The drinks were good; I had the lychee and it was good. The appetizers were also good; the chicken satay was really good. The dinner was great; the waitress was really nice and the food was good. I ordered the shrimp and my friends got the beef and chicken. As a dessert we got the red velvet which was good. The food was ok; I liked the happy hour they have. I would definitely recommend you try their hh and if you like it then have dinner. I do want to try their brunch.

    I didn't show the food because it's the same thing you buy at your local Chinese takeout.

    The service superb. Ambiance was amazing for young people who don't wanna talk. But want a good time showing off their boyfriend . Food was average . But clean and quick. Drinks were strong and the hookah was very clean and excellent. Overall good day to go out to show off your . If they're serious about the cuisine they need to unique plates and deserts. Now!!!! Let's talk about Mr Asia on the turntables. The Dj is worth coming to Harlem panda . He had my old a$$ rocking to every beat !!! Thank you Mr Asia for making my birthday special.

    The food is good and the prices are very reasonable. Large servings. Bok choy was delicious. Lobster lo mein is good. Shrimp and broccoli is worth it. Bang bang shrimp is just okay. Chicken satay lightly breaded in sauce. I was told it was good. Get the lychee martini. I wish I remember my servers name. She was very kind. We came for my sister birthday. Restaurant is very dark. We were seated under a dripping pipe. Not okay. Everything else was okay

    Peanuts butter chicken ' 8/10
    Bryttnie M.

    The food was good ! Especially since I have high expectations for Chinese food . The service was okay this time (7/10 ) , I've been there 3 times so I'll say this service wasnt to expectation . Overall ? The chief ate ! The bartender ate ! Waiter ? Sucked . Just waited his tip . The ambiance ? Great for pictures , but if there's not photographer everyday ...what's the point right ? So confirm everything before making an appointment! Overall experience amazing . They tried the best .

    Street art decor
    Chanel B.

    Looking for some Asian fusion mixed with an eccentric vibe. This restaurant lounge bar is definitely a nice spot to unwind, have fun or celebrate a night out. Sexy enough for a date night or calm enough for a lunch break. The music is all current urban contemporary. Beautiful street art work covers the walls and dim intimate lighting throughout interior. The entire wait staff is very attentive and friendly. Eat: Dumplings. 10/10 Filet mignon w/ broccoli. 9/10 Shanghai salmon. 10/10 Vegetable fried rice. 10/10 $$ Drink: Top shelf alcohol or drink specials served. Wine selection available. Non alcoholic drinks Mocktails available. Shisha Hookah available. $$ Recommended date night, birthday/work celebration. ID checked at the door. Security. Reservations strongly suggested. Valet parking available. Street parking as well. :)

    The ambience was cool. They have what can be considered "2 parts" (front and back of restaurant) . The music was a hit and there were many people celebrating birthdays. The food came out sooo fast! I really enjoyed my appetizer (oxtail dumpling) more than my meal but it was good also. The service was also quick (you can tell they know how to work efficiently for when things get busier) and dinner moved smoothly.

    For my first time at panda I did brunch on Sunday. It was the bottomless branch where you got unlimited frozen rose for two hours. The drinks are OK I like the frozen, but I wish it was sweeter because I like sweet drinks, but it wasn't bad. I loved the food. I know a lot of people say that their food isn't the best but I feel like it is one of the best compared to a lot of others. I was actually surprised how good the food taste. I loved everything. I had no complaints about anything that I tried from the filet mignon from the dumplings from the chicken satay from the lo mein from the fried rice from the Kung pow chicken. Everything was great. The music is great and they also have hookah as well that has to be paid in cash. The ambience is nice as well and a lot of people love to take pictures at the graffiti wall when I went someone did have a fight so I feel it is a little ghetto, but you will have a good time overall.

    Passion fruit Martini
    She A.

    Friend invited me out last minute in a Saturday night for a 730 pm reservation. Since it was raining the whole entire day, we were early, getting there at 7. They had no problem seating us early. The place was not packed as it was still early but a good amount of patrons. I was lucky to find a street parking after my circling the block a couple of times. Our waitress was courteous and attentive. We ordered chicken bao buns, Lo mein, shrimp and broccoli, kung pao chicken and passion fruit martinis. Everything we had was pretty good and our drinks was delicious and strong enough. They even provided us white rice to go with our leftovers The venue was pretty spacious and nicely decorated with a good dj playing great 90s and 2000s music, which we enjoyed very much. I enjoyed my time there

The pad thai noodles are a big thinner than i've had before but that didn't bother me, it has such great flavor too. I recommend ordering it spicy, it's the perfect heat if you're looking for that kick but don't add it if you can't handle spice. The drunken noodles are not spicy in my opinion but i can handle a bit of heat. Loved the flavor and the noodles had the right texture, could've done without the huge chunks of tomato but great otherwise. The summer rolls were good, hard to mess those up. We also got a free mango salad with the order and that was so fresh and delicious. We just popped in for pick up but the hostess was really nice and attentive as soon as we walked in. It looked to be a nice casual spot, could be good for dinner with friends or date night.

The shrimp basil fried rice was delicious, a great alternative if you're not feeling the crab fried rice. The service at Obao is always prompt and helpful, whether it's questions about the menu or recommendations, anyone is willing to help.

One of those terms is that there is a $25/pp fee for late cancelations or no shows. **Given the rules, I think it would be nice if THEP informs everyone when they book reservations that there is a great likelihood that you will be seated at a communal table.** Upon arrival we were seat when 3 out of the 4 arrived. Yes, we were seated at the communal table, which was off putting initially because we were looking for a more private experience and opportunity to catch up. However, we powered through and made the best of it. Service started off shaky and rushed initially, with incorrect drink orders presented. However once we all settled in things improved. The food was good and the atmosphere was lovely. A few entrée dishes were unavailable and required a little flexibility in the night's taste palate. Overall Thep was enjoyable and I would like to return now that I know what to expect. Just A Note: If a communal table is not ideal I would suggest reaching out directly to the restaurant to see if something can be arranged.

The service was pleasant, friendly, efficient and helpful from the minute we walked in without a reservation. The ambiance and decor was gorgeous and took me out of NYC for a moment. The phenomenal taste of the first sip of the Thai Iced Tea that paired so well with the rest of my meal is the reason behind the first picture I took. For the apps we ordered my favorite- Chicken Curry Puffs and Chicken Satay. The Chicken Curry Puffs were soft and perfectly mashy on the inside and had a perfect crisp to the layered outside. The Chicken Satay was so different here and yet so savory served with this soft garlic bread. The sauces were so fresh, vibrant and distinct and added to both the appetizers. The peanut sauce had crushed peanuts and was such an accompaniment to texture. For the mains, we had the Chicken Pad Thai and the Braised Beef Short Rib in Penang Curry. The Pad Thai was a great standard and tasty with the crisp sprouts and zesty lime. This Braised Beef Short Rib is where it is at! One of their house specialties- the decadent flavors and textures of this dish is something that will be memorable and just the right touch of spice. Lovely bright orange sweet potatoes and beautiful green beans went so well together with the beef and curry. Looking forward to trying more of their menu and not defaulting to my usual. Warmed up Chicken Pad Thai on the pan over the stove today in a little bit of butter, this was as delicious as it was going to get today. I missed one of the most exquisite Thai Iced Teas I've had in a while, it truly set the tone of how great this late lunch was.
