Quick and friendly service. Food is magnificent! Even though dishes have lots of chilli, they are not super spicy but very tasty. The black mushroom sir fried pork slices was our favourite!
Food was tasty, small servings for the price. The place and ambience is good. Service could be improved as food took too long to come out.
Food was amazing! Every dish was so fresh and came out piping hot. This was a great venue for a bigger group (we were 8).
Some of the best food I've had in a long time, very reasonable prices and BYO. Nice and clean, but atmosphere is a bit lacking. Make sure you try cucumber salad :) I definitely will be back for more
Food is interesting, my first experience with Hunan cuisine, extremely spicy if you are not used to it! We ordered a non spicy dish sweet & sour pork for our son, but they ran out and replaced with sweet & sour pork ribs. Very tasty, one of best sweet sour sauce I came across. However, there is hardly any meat, all bones! Another pork ribs dish with cumin is also very nice, also mostly bones but with a bit more meat. Ordered a special dish of the day, baby beef ribs with black pepper sauce. Very generous servings, similar taste to Cantonese black pepper sauce. Thin slices with bones attached, slightly chewy but tasted good more manageable to eat. Accompanied by a fried rice with soy sauce, nice but rather oily. Overall food tasted good but salt level on the higher side for my palate. Service is quite poor on the day of our visit. Inexperience or just poorly trained. It was very quiet during lunch time, only 3 to 4 tables were occupied. May give it another go but will only order “boneless” dishes!
It was NY Eve, and the restaurant was quite quiet, allowing for a peaceful food. We were the last to leave, and it was a nice first experience. food is hot!
Always love the food here but the fact that they won't split the bill in half for two couples and then have the audacity to charge 2% on credit cards is a bit sour at the end of the night.
Great food, lovely service and atmosphere. The.chef very kindly made some dishes for us that were not on the current menu. What more can you ask for. Can't wait for the next time!
Sensational food combined with good service let down by uncomfortable hard seating. Very relaxed food hall style restaurant, we went early and are glad we did because the polished concrete floor and hard surface walls and ceiling mean it will be very noisy when crowded. Will definitely go there again but probably stick with take away.
Loved the food. It wa relatively quiet so the service was speedy. Would like to see how they cope on a busy night. Would recommend to others. Especially the stir fry chilli lamb.
Food was magnificent as usual, service was a bit slow but it was Friday night and the place was busy. I am still working my way through the menu, everything so far has been great. I Highly recommend Chilli Panda.
Food fabulous!! Service terrible!! we waited about 15 mins for someone to take our order and that was after we called them over. Had to ask for the diablical music to be turned down so we could hear the waiters explanation about the food. Someone in the kitchen then turned it back up!! Again we asked for it to be turned down. Food arrived quickly and was beautiful. Not too hot. We then had to ask waitstaff to clear the empty plates.. we were not asked if we wanted to order more or desert. We did choose to order more food - again had to call a waiter.... food arrived very quickly and these dishes were REALLY hot - even the rice with soy had a chilli kick... the first rice with soy didnt!! Dont order the squid - very fishy taste. Again had to ask waiter to clear empty plates. Owners - how about a manager or yourselves be on site to make sure wait staff are attentive. Did not appear to be anyone in charge keeping staff on their game. Yes we will go back but if service terrible again, thats it!!!
The location is handy and the decor is of industrial with high open beam ceilings. The food was delicious, service was great, I would recommend Chilli Panda!
Took ages to get served even though the restaurant wasn't overly busy. Once served, couldn't get anyone's attention and had to go ask for water/spoon/serviettes. Fairly poor service but good food.
Awesome food, friendly staff, great prices, what more could you want. Place is a little hard to find though, needs a big sign out the front.
Food is very good. Portions are decent. Decors are very nice. Service of wait staff need training. When serving the plate of food to the table. They just conventiently put it on the edge of the table towards the nearest customer. They should present the plates of food on the center of the table for customers to enjoy. Look forward to seeing some improvements next time we visit.
If you love Chilli, then you HAVE to come here! Might be a little on the spicy side for non-chilli eaters though. Love the cuisine, very unique compared to the rest of the Chinese restaurants around the area.
Great selection of tasty Hunan style dishes, quick, relaxed, friendly service and atmosphere. Can't go wrong - chicken, duck and pork belly were outstanding. Nice and busy so very popular. Will be back for more...
Great food, quick service, good price. Second time we have visited and have been very satisfied both times. Highly recommend a visit if you get the chance.
Our ordered pork and beef stir fried dishes were cooked with the same sauce with lots of cut chilli. Taste was OK. Good for a freezing day. May come back for other dishes.
Still a favourite when dining out. We dine out regularly and this has been a favourite choice. The only negative I experienced is that last night, the food was a tad salty.
Food at Chilli Panda is consistently good - tasty, fresh, not just "hot", although some is indeed hot. Try the green beans with pork mince - delicious, with beans as hero, enhanced by the pork...not drowned out by it.. Their Clay pot prawns are more expensive than most of their dishes, for a good reason - Chilli Panda use good quality, flavoursome crustaceans, not the usual, soggy-bland aquaculture horrors. A noisy venue when full. If you prefer quiet, enjoy lunch there.
This is a unique Chinese Restaurant (Hunan style cooking) . This is not your usual suburban type Chinese fare Australians are used to, but something totally different. As the restaurant name says it there is an leaning towards Chilli. There is also a sprinkling of "offal "receipes and if you dislike this type of food you can stay clear of it and still have a huge menu to pick from. The servings are big and the service business like and very prompt. The fact that the venue is frequented by all ages of Chinese people is a testement of its popularity/acceptance. Pricing is very good. The four of us shared three meat dishes with a bowl of Steamed rice each and we very very full. Our pricing was $66-00 all up. Will be visiting this venue again and again
Great tasting food however food was too oily. All the construction work that is going on in that area made it difficult to get to
Great food and service. Food is spicy, however, that is the authentic Hunan cuisine way! Staff were happy to cater for different levels of spice. Will definitely be back again.
Food was excellent derive was poor Forgot one of our dishes even tho we reminded them many times Need more staff. Great food poor service
The service was a little inconsistent. Had to go & get our own wine glasses. Disappointed that we were not able to get a noodle dish as it was not available on Friday. Food was very chilli dominant which was maybe more about our choices though. Only one ice bucket available.
Food was exceptional. In fact best Chinese I have had so far in Perth. Huanese concept, so there is spice involved, but flavours were amazing. I will go back really soon for sure.
The food was fantastic, the service less so. They didn't even have enough menus for the table. More importantly their website indicates that they're licensed - it shows 2 bottles of wine with prices by the bottle and by the glass. However, they're not licensed, and annoyingly we had to go on a long trek to find wine to have with our meal.
Very different Chinese restaurant experience. The food was great but do not go unless you are a fan of strong flavours and chilli. There are possibly 3 or 4 dishes that do not use chilli and of the rest even those marked with one chilli are very spicy
It was absolutely fresh, spicy & delicious. Service was prompt & the decor was very clean, stylish & modern. Servings were large & excellent value.
Great food, simple decor and a central location. The closest to Mainland Chinese food I've found in Perth. The staff were friendly but be prepared to push a little to get things rolling if they are busy.
Chilli Panda is definitely an appropriate name! If you're not a fan of chilli give this a miss. I however, love chilli! Fantastic tasting food. Great interior. Good service and not long to wait for the food. The only downsides were chicken dishes was meat on the bone, menu didn't explain this so one friend missed out on this dish. And we had to ask three times for the bill. Overall though a really good meal at a fair price.
Like Melbourne's Dainty Sichuan, the chilli dishes just kept coming and BYO too. Large servings of flavoursome meat and seafood dishes and fantastic fried rice and vegetables to compliment them.
Great food, excellent service, an awesome cheap and cheerful. I would be happier if the toilets were easier to get to, but that may be out of their control.
Food was great! Service was prompt and the staff were friendly. They have replaced the dish Mao's pork with another pork dish that was even more delicious.
Great venue, spacious and like no other Chinese Restaurant. Service was good, spices were fantastic, loving the chilli, little disappointed with the duck as it had too many bones but we will be back to taste further dishes,
Absolutely love Chilli Panda... the food is amazing and so reasonably priced , the service and restaurant design is great... have been 3 times already and look forward to going back
This is an wonderfully low-key and casual attitude inner city Asian restaurant that bangs out great food with big flavours and a relaxed vibe. The chilli content is for enthusiasts and if you're at all sensitive, ask them to dial it down a few notches, but those of us who love the zing, pop and crackle of high intensity chilli bombs attached to fresh, full-flavoured meats, vegetables and sauces will be in heaven. Try the beans (steamed, then flash-fried for a few seconds) for a mild but deep taste sensation. The pork belly doesn't just promise to melt in your mouth - it actually does! Service is friendly-casual but helpful without being intrusive. Take 3-4 friends to share a range of exotic dishes that will have you talking about this place for days.
Serves were huge and so we cancelled some food. The food was very good but we found the service a little slow. On the whole though, enjoyable and we will go again.
Found the staff very friendly and efficient and the food was excellent. Was particularly impressed with the fried greenbeen/pork and chilli dish and Hunan dry beef and chilli. All ingredients were fresh, particularly enjoyed fresh chilli. Will definetly revisit as food is not typical of what is found in Chinese restuarants in Perth and this is authentic Hunan cooking
The staff were very friendly. Highly recommend the fried chilli beans, they were cooked to perfection and were very tasty. For those who enjoy lots of chili, the chilli beef with noodle/rice was full of flavour and worth a try.
Great food and seating. But thought for an unlicensed restaurant to charge $6/bottle corkage was a bit much. Service slow to start but better once our order was taken.
Excellent food. Not your average chinese. Varied menu and a comfortable level of spiciness. Very busy and under staffed with staff rushing everywhere...but i guess that contributes to the fantastic value for money.
Really good. The food was absolutely flavoursome and delicious. Staff were friendly and the atmosphere was modern and pleasant. Overall a great place to eat and we'll definitely return!
The food was delicious and good value as well. Atmosphere of the restaurant was modern and clean. Did not need a reservation on a Thursday night.
Yummy and great service... fresh beautiful food in cool interior... will take the family back for sure.. kids loved it particularly the Tso chicken dish... Great casual night out Thank you Chilli panda
