Wild Panda — Restaurant in District of Canberra Central

Wild Panda Restaurant in Canberra City holds a special place in our hearts, becoming our preferred dining destination through countless visits. Each time we dine here, we are treated to an unforgettable experience.

The "Double Happiness Bowl" stands as our all-time favorite, an incredible dish that blends soy-braised pork and beef into a flavor explosion that leaves us brimming with happiness. It's more than just a meal; it's a heartwarming experience that envelops you in warmth and contentment.

The "Popcorn Chicken" is another standout, delivering a delightful burst of flavor and an irresistible crispy texture. Its popularity is a testament to its deliciousness, and it often leads to friendly debates among us for that coveted last piece.

Then, there are the "Pork and Prawn Wontons." These little parcels of delight showcase the chef's culinary prowess, combining a medley of flavors and textures that always leave us yearning for more.

In addition to these delights, we have a deep appreciation for their noodle dishes. When the days turn chilly, the likes of their signature beef noodle soup and sliced chicken noodle with mushroom soup provide us with not only incredible flavor but also much-needed warmth and comfort.

Conversely, when the temperatures rise, the classic chicken cold noodle takes center stage, accompanied by a delightful sesame sauce that provides a refreshing contrast, perfect for a hot day.

The friendly staff and exceptional service further enhance our dining experience. The restaurant's cozy ambiance and charming decor create a welcoming and comfortable environment that makes us feel at home.

Unfortunate experience at what’s meant to be a dumpling and noodle house. There are only 3 dumpling options on the menu, one of which is vegetarian, one wontons and a beef dumpling option. No traditional dumplings to be seen. If you are looking for dumplings- this is not your place.

We ordered both the wonton and beef dumplings. The wontons were ok but soaked in some sort of oily sauce. Not nice. The beef dumplings were inedible - I have no idea what they are trying for with this dish; tasty, edible dumplings they are not.

The most disappointing dish on the menu is their signature dish: signature spicy beef noodle soup. We ordered extra spicy. There was no spice. Or soup. Unless you call a sea of oil with sesame seeds a soup. It was like drinking a bowl of vegetable oil. Needless to say, the beef that was drowned in this oil soup tasted dreadful also. I’d steer clear of the signature dish. I fact I’d steer clear of all dishes.

The only positive entry on the menu was the $5 asahi. Credit where credits due they came out cold and fast and tasted like, well, Asahi. The only thing on the menu that tasted as described on the box.

In short, this is a great place for preloading beer before a night out. For decent food, I’d...

Adjusting my review down from 4 stars due to inconsistency in the quality of food. It's very variable. I have had lunch here every week for about 6 months, and it's potluck what I will get, even when ordering the same dish. Sometimes it'll be really salty, sometimes very spicy, sometimes it'll have crunchy chickpeas, sometimes not.

Last visit, my noodles were topped with a fried egg which I thought was rather undercooked. I'm fine with runny yolk - I'm drawing the line at eating uncooked egg whites.

Despite their "everything is our fault" policy, when I mentioned it to the staff member, she said it was meant to be like that and to try it. I messaged the owner as per his instructions below and he said "different customers like different degrees of how eggs are done". Fair enough - I like my whites cooked enough to not get salmonella, thanks.

It's still good value Sichuan food at affordable prices. Portions are generous. Food always arrives very quickly. The dumplings, particularly the vegetarian ones,...
