Panda House

I will stand by my previous review on terms of Takeaway. This review is purely based on my experience of the dine in restaurant.
My Family flew over from Australia for the first time ever and after dining at very expensive restaurants throughout the Highlands we were desperate for some Chinese. My parents were enjoying seeing our local area and wanted to live in our shoes, eat where we eat… that type of thing.
So my partners parents and mine wanted to see each other one last time before they left and we picked Panda House. It was local, walking distance and they would be able to picture Panda house next time we told them we were having takeaway. We booked for 6 o’clock for 6 people and everything was A ok and locked in. I was first in and walked past the takeaway area to stand next to the dining area, we were ignored. No greeting, not even smiles then a man looked at me and put his hand out and said «You need to wait and sit down». I smiled and said «oh, we have a booking in the restaurant for 6:00». He didn’t ask for my name he just repeated him self… trying to keep the mood light i did a bemused laugh at my family and we waited.
After 10 – 15 minutes of being ignored my partner got up to ask them what the issue was, we were told it would be 10 minutes. We wait 10 minutes and my partner gets up once more to re iterate that we had a booking for 6:00 and we hadn’t been told what we were waiting for. The whole time they were very short with us, no please or thank you or even a smile. They then tell us to go away and come back at 7:15, usually if i have received this sought of service i would express my disappointment and leave never to return. However this was supposed to be a happy night for us all so we laughed it off and agreed to return.
We come back at 7:15 and are treated to the exact same customer service and are told to wait again… this time i ask what the problem is. Im told our table is still being used by the previous party, after waiting 3 separate times in a «just a minute» manner. We also see there was never a table big enough for 6 and we were going to be sat across the room from each other. The whole event was just a complete joke from start to finish, i felt embarrassed for our beloved takeaway. The customer service was beyond terrible. After we had returned at 7:15 and waited once again we finally left, and went up the street to buddy’s. A party of 6 who were celebrating would have been big money for Panda House instead we had to go wherever would takes us on a Saturday night with no booking.
I do not recommend dining in at Panda house from the experience i have had, i can’t tell you about the food because i never got the chance to eat it. I felt very disappointed as i recommend people to Panda house all the time, i eat here all the time and they let me down on a very important night. On top of that… they were rude about it.

A lazy night in with Netflix and the pikachu onesie just wouldn’t be complete without a panda house takeaway. Staff are always very helpful on the phone and the lengthy delivery times estimated on the website are fortunately, overly pessimistic, with food usually arriving in around 30 minutes.
The menu, like most Chinese takeaways, is longer than most novels, and although this is off putting it does at least mean that the panda house provides everything u would expect. Favourites at our house include the salt chilli tofu, satay chicken, and sweet and sour chicken balls ! Tasty!
Certainly the best takeaway in glasgow south !

Good all round service and make a nice selection of dishes. Also on the just eat promotion.
Thumbs up.

I can never remember what kind of Panda domecile lends its name to this wee south-​side restaurant/​takeaway, and it’s generally known as the Panda Hut House round our way. I never really feel confident about whether any particular Chinese restaurant is a good one. I enjoy the offerings from various places, but then again I’m prone to enjoying a Big Mac from time to time and wouldn’t wish to recommend one of those as some kind of haute cuisine. One of those «I don’t know anything about Chinese food but I know what I like» sort of things, which makes me a little apprehensive about offering an unreserved recommendation.
I guess that most (Scottish) Chinese takeaway food is at a pretty trashy end of the culinary spectrum. Nevertheless I’ve certainly never been disappointed by a meal from the Panda Hut House. One of the most remarkable things about the place is its really generous portion sizes. My wife and I can quite comfortably order a chicken and cashew nuts with a single portion of rice and feel well fed after sharing it (not sure the division is quite half ‘n’ half, but then I’m a growing boy.). That also makes it extremely good value for money, and certainly one of the cheaper take away options that we regularly opt for (you’ll get change from an £8 note for a meal for two).
If you like Scottish Chinese takeaway food then I bet you’ll enjoy the meals available here. I don’t think I can say it any clearer than that I’m afraid.

The Panda House is certainly a cut above the average Chinese restaurant on the Southside, with less of that generic aftertaste that blights most main courses.
Although they offer the usual range of dishes on the menu — no surprises– it is worth sitting in here: it has a lovely, intimate atmosphere, and the service is efficient, charming and friendly. It never seems to get too busy– at least in the early evening– and there is no sense of rush or urgency among the staff.
