Overall, not a great visit. The man who greeted us was incredibly rude to multiple people at our table, and also the guests seated next to us. The ladies who took over serving our table were lovely and really apologetic but we were still put off by the rudeness of the man who welcomed and seated us. Many items on the menu were also unavailable the night we were there, while still being listed on the menu. Which seems redundant if you let people look at the menu and choose, without informing them of this. Almost everything I picked was unavailable so I just ordered broccoli in the end. Only for one of our party specifically asked to go to this restaurant, we would have left. She has also said...
The taste is very bad. I ordered Sichuan Dandan noodles. Sichuan is a place that likes spicy food in China. Obviously, this store is not doing it right, because it tastes completely sweet. I told the waiter that it was more spicy when I ordered, because I like spicy food. But in fact, they didn't do that. I asked the waiter for chilli oil again, and I was told that there was a charge for chilli oil. It's really outrageous. In China, adding some chilli oil is completely free this is equivalent to asking the waiter for some ketchup in a western restaurant. How can this be charged? If the restaurant wants repeat customers, they should not do so. A bad night. It won't come again.
Despite being busy, and having good reviews and a broad and interesting menu, we were disappointed with the food. Eg Prawn and mango starter, which barely tasted of prawn, and with a gloopy sweet sauce and a small piece of mango. Char siu roast pork, dry, and presented without any garnish at all. I'd cook better char siu blindfolded. Vegetable sides were very scarce on the menu. I've had much, much better food from an average take away. Prices were not particularly cheap either.. rice/noodles/chips aren't included in the price. Basic choice of red or white wine... no mention what it might be...
As of May 8, 2024, we did not feel particularly welcomed when we arrived at 9:30 PM. We were informed that the kitchen would be closing in half an hour and it seemed like they did not want to serve us. We ordered wonton soup, fish filet with tofu clay pot, and braised pork belly, but unfortunately they were out of taro root to go with the pork belly. The wonton soup and pork belly were average, nothing exceptional, and the pork belly was too salty. However, the standout dish was the fish filet tofu clay pot, which was absolutely delicious and a delightful surprise.

Frozen seafood and f'in crabsticks, never asked once if all was OK until they collected the plates, still full with the unwanted meal. At payment I explained my complaint to which I was told they would knock off 10%, I said no, I wasn't paying for my meal as it was not restaurant standard, they then knocked off the £16 for the frozen seafood with crabsticks. I paid the rest of the bill but no sorry or acknowledgement of the fact I didn't enjoy the meal. Bad service and bad, bad food. Just my opinion though, you judge for yourself.
Good food with good vibe. If you like Chinese Authentic food( not fusion) , this is a must go place in Belfast. It is also near Bus Station. Very Polite Chinese Waiters/Waitress also. Also ,you can practice with them your Cantonese . Menu has 2 versions. One in English with pictures and one in Chinese.
Had a good experience at the red panda. Mussels in black bean sauce is a must try, tasted really nice, presentation 10/10. The sizzling sliced beef in szechuan flavour was a show stopper though I thought it was a bit salty. Overall, it's been a 5 star experience for me.
Would not return or recommend, sizzling seafood was frozen fish and bad fish at that with a imitation crab stick to top it off, the birds nest was tasteless and the nest was stale, very disappointed
