Wild Panda

This is a favourite of mine in Canberra. Excellent noodle soups. Dumplings are delicious. Rice bowls are so tasty.

Just love how they do Sichuan food here. Highly recommend. Don't know what to try? Start with the spicy beef noodle soup.

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.

For those in search of an extraordinary dining experience in the heart of Canberra City, Wild Panda Restaurant comes highly recommended. It's a place where great food, excellent service, and cherished memories keep us returning time and time again.

Another fantastic experience at Wild Panda last night.

For those of you first timers, you may not know exactly what to order. Popcorn chicken is definitely a must for me, so does the Double Happiness Meal - slow cooked beef and pork meat, super tender and braised with aromatic broth - makes it second to none!

Not to mention the classic beef noodles, pork and prawn dumplings, etc....

So settling on which dishes to choose is probably the only challenge here.

Every now and then, I have to come back here and get my favorite popcorn chicken. I often crave its crispy crunchy coating, thinly cut chicken bites infused with fried basil leaves, such an addictive snack.

Also tried the stir fry pork with rice on the new menu, can tell the chef has been putting his heart in generating unforgettable food aroma.

Strongly commend everyone to come in and get ready for the ultimate experience!

5 stars alone for consistently fast service. All the times I’ve been here, despite being busy, it never takes more than 3-5 minutes for food to arrive. A great option for students to run to between class 🏃‍♀

Dishes are always very filling and serve well as a lunch+dinner combo. Definitely go with the small plates if you’re looking for something light.

Really great spice levels (marked on the menu) that hit the best on a cold day. A few people have said this spice level varies, so might be better to err on the safe side if you’re unsure. Some may find the noodle soup a bit too oily due to amount of chilli oil, but that’s going to be up to personal preference.

A great amount of meat in all dishes makes a difference from other restaurants in the area. The beef was soft and goes well with both the rice and noodle dishes.

Will return again the next time I’m looking for a large and affordable meal :)

Highly recommended and highly satisfied, You will not be disappointed. Next to the Subway, best hand made noodles in Canberra, large server and the pricing was perfect and matched the quality, fast service, no need to wait even at peak hours. I ordered the homemade noodles with chili, topped with beef and the food is amazing.

Very friendly staff,  Will return to the restaurant for their noodle for sure.

We come here for delicious Sichuan noodles. It has authentic Chinese flavour - at least that’s what I feel. Staffs are very nice and service is also quick.

I love discovering authentic, affordable food- this is one of those times. Meals range from around $13 to $17. Mine was about $17.50, but $2.50 of that was the added extra vegetables.

Szechwan pepper was one of the strongest flavours in my dish. It was the perfect amount of spicy for me, because it hurt but I could still taste the beautiful flavour.

I say it is authentic based on my limited real experience (I have not been to any part of China), but it feels authentic because of the limited English signage and the flavours in the meal I had.

I would recommend coming here if you want to try delicious food that is different to anything else in Canberra!

Been a regular here and the quality has always been consistent. One huge advantage is the turnaround time is super fast and you can definitely have quick work lunch if needed.

A new system has been introduced so you have to order via scanning so be mindful of that. Apart from that no complaints.

Wild panda is a great little restaurant offering some amazing food. My personal favourite dish here is the pork mince bowl. It takes them like two minutes to bring it out to your table after you order it and it will put a smile on your face.

I have enjoyed unprecedented service in this store. Staffs are very enthusiastic and the dishes are very delicious. I highly recommend it!

Wild Panda is one of those places where the food quality is just that one step above everyone else.
The beef noodle soup, the dumplings, the dry noodles, it hard to go wrong here. But it's the spicy beef noodle soup that is the real standout.

Very tasty Chinese dishes at a reasonable price. Service was friendly and quick. Can recommend the Dan Dan noodles.

Quality food, good vibe and pleasant staff, what else could you ask for a nice dining experience. The food was great, get around it!

Tasty noodles! Hope could keep it up!👍
If don’t feel like eating strong taste/spicy food, their tomato pork noodle soup also tastes really good!

Great service, very friendly staff, and the spicy beef noodle soup was great. Will be back. Thanks!

Only been here the one time, but I'll definitely be back. I had the spicy chicken noodle soup, which was delicious. It had a bunch of sichuan pepper and chilli in it, but it wasn't overly spicy.

The food here is really really good, especially the pork ribs dry noodles and vegetarian fried rice. Both have very authentic Chinese ingredients and taste!! Definitely an underrated place and must be given a try whether you live in Canberra or just passing through

Stumbled across this great find when visiting Canberra! The service was exceptionally fast, friendly and the food delicious. Ordered the hot and sour beef noodle soup and it was packed full of flavour!! Just the right level or sour and a tonne of fiery heat - so be warned!!

Ate here a couple of times, this is authentic Chinese cuisine that reminds me of where I was born, and the food here takes me back to all the street food stalls in my childhood. Great value too
