Red Panda — Attraction in Exeter

Delicious food, really enjoyable! After trying some of the options on the menu, decided to get more! It felt very authentic, plus it was very fresh and tasty! Will definitely go back again for more!

They have a variety of food to try from East and Southeast Asia. I've taken a photo of their menu to include with the review for everyone interested to try their dishes. They offer three kinds of meals.

Bao, which is a soft steamed bun served greens and a choice between aromatic pork belly, chicken adobo, teriyaki tofu or spicy tofu.

Rice & Salad Box (jasmine rice, organic greens and seasonal salads), again with the aforementioned choice between pork belly, chicken or tofu.

Bahn Mi Sandwich, which is a baguette served with mushroom and chestnut paté, mayo, cucumber, spring onion, coriander leaves and chopped chilies, along with a choice amongst pork belly, chicken or tofu.

All meals come in salad boxes to eat in or take away. They also have a seating area outside of the shop.

In addition to the above, I also noticed in the shop that there was a choice of having a Bao with salad, so that could be considered as another option on the menu. With the 'Bao with Salad' option, you essentially get your salad along with the bao in a salad box.

We opted to get a Bao and a 'Bao with Salad' option to try and then decided to have one more Bao as they were so delicious! The Aromatic Pork Belly and Tofu were very tasty!

They also have an Instagram account...

A Culinary Oasis of Exceptional Service and Delectable Flavors

Nestled within the bustling streets of the city, we came in today and this is upon a hidden gem that has undoubtedly raised the bar for culinary excellence and customer service: Red Panda From the moment we stepped foot inside, we was enveloped in an atmosphere of warmth and excellent customer service that set the stage for an unforgettable lunch experience.

Let's start with the service - a flawless orchestration of attentiveness and professionalism. The owner at red panda exhibited a remarkable dedication to ensuring every customer felt not just welcomed, but truly valued. his genuine smile and eagerness to accommodate dietary preferences or offer recommendations reflected a commitment to going above and beyond mere service; it was an embodiment of hospitality at its finest.

Now, onto the pièce de résistance - the food. Oh, where does one even begin to describe the culinary marvels that graced my palate? Our Super Salad was a symphony of flavors, meticulously crafted to perfection. The ingredients were undoubtedly of the highest quality, evident in every bite.

If you're ready to indulge in easily the best lunch in Exeter look no further than this...

Went to Red Panda on Saturday 25th of June with a group of friends. We have all been to red panda many many times as we used to live in Exeter but haven’t returned in a couple years as we moved away. We were so excited to come back and the food was still absolutely amazing. We used to come often and were often served by the lovely owner and some lovely ladies. However the reason I give it 4 stars this time is because of the attitude of one of the ladies this weekend. The younger girl taking orders was so sweet but the woman making the buns and salads was really quite rude. She was perhaps having a bad day but she quite literally slammed a customers buns down on the counter and rolled her eyes because they didn’t come in quick enough when their buzzer went off and the proceeded to snap at the girl taking the orders. It was really a quite uncomfortable atmosphere and myself and my friends were really glad to go outside to wait. That being said as I mentioned earlier the food is still incredible and I would absolutely recommend still! It was just not what we were used to having been many times before. We’ll be back next time we’re in town...
