AVOID AVOID AVOID!!!! It is with great sadness to have to write this review. Me and my partner used to visit Papa Panda every Saturday as we really enjoyed the food. Unfortunately following my visit yesterday, we will not be visiting ever again. Me and my partner both got food poisoning from our meals. This cannot be down to anything other as the Chinese was the only thing we ate yesterday. The restaurant has previously replied to other people leaving reviews stating it takes 3 days to develop food poisoning. My doctor has advised otherwise and I can promise you now it was caused by Papa Pandas food. Having been throwing up all night we went to the doctors who confirmed we have food poisoning. The pancake station uses the same gloves to make your pancake that are used to make sushi. There is some serious cross contamination occurring in this kitchen. This restaurant needs to be inspected ASAP! After reviewing the comments I can see I’m not the only one experiencing servers food poisoning from this restaurant. I emailed the restaurant for a refund as they are fully aware we were some of their most loyal customers, however received no response. Therefore I’m left with no choice but to leave this review. AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS. Me and my partner are both extremely ill because of it. £32 to contract food poisoning. Please take your hard earned cash somewhere else!!!!! Do not risk your health.

last night I wanted to have dinner with my family in the city and I stopped at this restaurant... the poorest place, empty trays, old and reheated food. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS.

Great place, took my daughter there for her birthday (her request as she loves it here) and they surprised us by bringing her a cake and giving her a panda toy.

This cannot be down to anything other as the Chinese was the only thing we ate yesterday. Having been throwing up all night we went to the doctors who confirmed we have food poisoning. The pancake station uses the same gloves to make your pancake that are used to make sushi. The spoons are used for multiple dishes and therefore cause cross contamination.

Me and my partner contracted food poisoning from this restaurant. AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE!!! We used to go here most weekends and after some serious cross contamination we are now bed bound with food poisoning!!! Having been throwing up all night we urge you to save your money and go elsewhere!!! The Chinese is the only thing that could have caused this as it was all we ate that day! The doctors confirmed this! Emailed the restaurant for a refund and got completely ignored. So much for £10.99 buffet, more like £10.99 unlimited food poisoning!!! Please do consider the reviews before visiting!! Do not overlook them like we did!! The 1 star reviewers are not lying!!! FOOD POISONING GALORE
