We tried Dumpling Panda while visiting from Chicago, and overall I'd say it's a solid 4/5. First off, cleanliness was about a 4/5. Nothing terrible, but not spotless either, just kind of in that "it's fine" range where you don't feel uncomfortable, but you do notice a few things. We ended up sitting outside because... we're from Chicago and that breeze felt AMAZING to us I'm sure the Floridians were freezing, but we were loving life. We did have to push two tables together since we have three kids and two adults, and the waitress seemed a little bothered by that at first but also... there was no way we were fitting at a four-top. She was friendly overall, just had that moment. Service was honestly on the slower side. That part threw me off a bit because when I went inside to use the bathroom, there were only like one or two tables occupied. So I expected things to move a little quicker, especially since we were sitting right outside. Now the food, this is where it lands in that 4/5-ish zone. The dumplings were good. The texture was actually really nice, soft, slightly chewy on the outside with that delicate wrapper that doesn't fall apart when you pick it up (which I appreciate because nothing worse than a broken dumpling ). The inside was warm, juicy, and flavorful without being too heavy. Not mind-blowing, but definitely satisfying. Everything else was decent, nothing bad, just not something I'd go out of my way for again. It's more of a "this works, this hits the spot, especially for the price" kind of place. Overall: good food, fair pricing, decent experience. I wouldn't say I'm running back, but I'd go again if I was in the area and wanted something quick and solid. read more

This place was quite disappointing. I am not sure if the good reviews are mostly based on takeout, but the dine-in experience was not good at all. There also isn't much ventilation, so you will end up smelling like food. We were seated quickly, and the dining area itself was not very busy, but service was still fairly slow. There is also not much seating inside, which makes the space feel cramped and not ideal for dining in. The restaurant seemed more focused on takeout orders, and our table felt largely ignored. We ordered chicken lo mein, Mongolian beef, honey garlic chicken wings, beef pan-fried dumplings, and vegetable fried rice, and overall, everything was just mediocre. The dishes came out sporadically over 30+ minutes, so by the time one plate arrived, we had already finished the previous one. The chicken lo mein was burnt and oddly topped with cilantro, which did not work with the dish. The Mongolian beef was okay, but nothing special, and definitely not the best version of the dish that I have had. The chicken wings had an off taste and seemed undercooked. The vegetable fried rice was very salty and extremely oily. The beef pan-fried dumplings took the longest to arrive and were the worst dish of the night; the filling was thin, shredded beef with a strange bulgogi-like flavor that did not suit the dumpling at all -- definitely would not recommend ordering them. There were three servers on the floor, but only one appeared to be consistently working. The other two checked on us occasionally but were not very attentive, even when we were actively trying to get their attention. At this point, you might as well spend your money at a real local Chinese restaurant or, honestly, even go to Panda Express instead. read more

Most of the dishes were good. It's not an authentic-flavored Taiwanese restaurant but it's better than going to a fast food Americanized restaurant. I especially liked the cucumber salad and the spare ribs. I found the beef pancake roll's sauce was on the sweet side. The kids liked the pork dumpling. For people looking for authentic beef noodle soup, this is not the place for it. But it's a decent dish. read more

If you're into cozy vibes, adorable décor, and dumplings that actually deliver, Dumpling Panda is an easy yes. The moment you walk in, you're greeted by rows of little panda figurines lining the shelves and a giant panda mural surrounded by bamboo steamers on the wall--honestly one of the cutest restaurant setups I've seen. Now let's talk food. The soup dumplings were the star of the table--perfectly pleated, delicate wrappers with that rich, savory broth inside that makes you pause for a second before your next bite. Soft, steamy, and full of flavor. I also ordered the honey walnut shrimp, which came out crispy, sweet, and creamy with just the right crunch from the candied walnuts. Dangerous in the best way. Rice was fluffy, portions were solid, and everything came out looking just as good as it tasted. Even the sauce bowl was cute. Service was attentive without hovering, and the space felt clean, bright, and inviting. Dumpling Panda is definitely going into my comfort-food rotation. Great for a casual lunch, date night, or when you just need dumplings to fix your mood. read more

This review is for both the Ft. Lauderdale and Miramar Locations. I would say both are equally good with the same level of great service. I came across this place while working out of our Ft. Lauderdale Office and looking for a nice lunch spot. Their tagline is "Authentic Bites" and one you taste the food, you'll see there's truth in advertising. The menu is not extensive but there are really great items throughout. The Appetizers are stellar. The Taiwanese Crispy Pork Chop, hits you upfront with bold Five Spice and perfectly cooked pork. Spare Ribs are tender, flavorful and delicious. The Scallion Pancake and Spicy Cucumber Salad are not to be missed. They're all suitable for sharing but by far my favorite Drunken Chicken is no longer on the menu. It was absolutely fantastic and was always my go to. The classic dumplings are very nice but the Soup Dumplings are small but packed with pork, crab, or chicken. There are eight to an order and you may think I can't finish all this but then it's "that went by fast". I haven't had the Fried Rice but the Noodles are excellent. Dan Dan and Zha Jiang Mian are a must try. If you're looking for something more standard grab the Kung Pao, Mongolian Beef or General Tao's Chicken. Not to mention the Candied Walnut and Shrimp is plain delightful. Dumpling Panda will always be one of my go to spots for a nice lunch or a relaxing dinner. Here's hoping they bring back the Drunken Chicken or teach me how to make it. read more

Stopped by Dumpling Panda on a whim while in the 17th street plaza for a Total Wine run. I didn't realize they had opened and my husband and I decided to try it with a quick to go order. We walked in and placed an order at one of their very convenient order computers at the counter. We ordered a few different things to try - but I was most excited for the traditional soup dumplings. The food came out really fast! We live nearby so everything was still hot and fresh when we got home! The soup dumplings and the Lo Mein dish I had were amazing and my husband loved the fried dumplings with the cheese on top! The service was super fast, food was fresh and the staff were all very friendly! Overall, this was a really great take out experience and I will definitely be returning for more soup dumplings for sure! 10/10 recommend! read more

This restaurant is fairly new. I think it was a good option for the area. The food is pretty consistent. I do enjoy the food here. The service can be a bit slow. I first went here when they first opened and restaurant was obviously very clean. I have noticed the last time the restaurant cleanness started to decline a bit. Overall this is a good asian restaurant and I recommend it. read more

Parking was plenty and free. We happen to land a spot right in front of the entrance! The restaurant was clean and the server was friendly. Soon as we sat down, we dove into their menu and ordered a bunch of items. The arrived at different times which we loved since we were sharing everything. All in all, we shared the Vegetable Dumplings, Spicy Cucumber Salad, Scallion Pancake, Drunken Chicken, Spare Ribs, and Pan-Fried Shanghai dumpling . The little one loved the scallion pancake & the Shanghai dumplings. read more

I really wanted to love this because it's much closer than Dumpling King but the soup Dumpling was 6/10. It had a lot of fat in it from the pork which I've never experienced from a Dumpling. It lacked flavor. The place was empty, which I was really shocked. I thought for sure it would've been busy, but I kind of see why between this and the other dumplings we ordered I don't think I'll be back. Somebody did tell me that their rice is better so maybe one day I'll try that. read more

Dumpling Panda - Shanghai Pork Soup Dumpling(8) - Chinese Near Me - Fort Lauderdale, Florida

I had the best experience at Dumpling Panda last night!! The space is nice and bright with a ton of tables for dine in, and a few outside as well if you prefer Al fresco. You can also order take out on a kiosk at the front counter. The staff quickly greeted us and sat my boyfriend and I. They were so extremely kind and attentive. I asked the waitress for her recommendations for apps which was the wings and bbq spare ribs. We took her recommendation for the ribs and I'm SOOOO glad we did. They were hands down our favorite dish. The marinade was perfection. Looking at them at first I thought they were going to be dry but to my surprise they were perfectly tender and fell right off the bone. We also had the scallion pancake, the Sichuan red chili wontons, pork soup dumplings, and beef pan fried dumplings. We loved the Siuchan dumplings and soup dumplings. The Siuchan had a great flavor, they also make their own chili oil. I really enjoyed the soup dumplings. They may seem small, but they are definitely mighty. Sometimes soup dumplings can lack good soup content but I thought these had a great ratio. The scallion pancakes were just alright (some more crisp than others). The beef dumplings I didn't care for. I felt the beef was a tad too salty for my preference. For dessert we took home the mochi donuts drizzled with Nutella. They were really great. Some bites were just a litttttle too greasy but overall still great. Overall it was a really great experience and I can't wait to go back. We need some diversity in soflo and dumpling panda is the perfect addition to the neighborhood. read more

First thing, what a cozy place. The staff were very welcoming. Dumpling Panda is on a corner at the Cordova street Publix complex. My friend and I were invited for lunch there. We had fun catching up and enjoying the cuisine. We ordered dumplings (duh) and they had bowls of noodles and fried rice. Everything was delicious! I ordered some scallion pancakes for the table. They were a hit. We chose one plate of crab/pork soup dumplings and one fried pork gyoza. The soup dumplings were nice and juicy. The gyoza were good and enhanced by the house made chili oil. I tasted our compadre's food and now I want to return for a bowl of noodles. We had fun and took home some hot + sour soup. Consumed it while watching Svengooli. Very tasty. read more

I saw a few happy reviews of Dumpling Panda off the SE 17 Street Causeway in Fort Lauderdale. I felt totally the opposite. It had the worst dumplings I ever tasted. I tried the soup dumplings and shrimp/oork dumpling. Not only did they not shave any real taste to it, but I also tried the scallion pancakes. It too was the worst I ever tasted. There was nothing inside the doe whatsoever. I will not be going back to this place. Stick to Dumpling King instead. I want to respond to the owner comment. My benchmark on this review is based on Dumpling King which I have liked a lot. My expectation is comparing this place to them. And I couldn't believe how awful that meal was. I don't just give a one star haphazardly. Most of my reviews are positive but not with these dumplings. And I have tried other places for dumplings but sorry ...it was tasteless. The scallion pancake was totally empty inside the doe. I would like to see a larger and plumpier dumpling. Maybe your main dishes are better and I would consider going back for that. But I couldn't believe how bad I found those dumplings. I'm not trying to hurt your business on purpose. I'm giving an honest assessment. read more

My gauge of how good the Chinese food is the beef and broccolli. The meat was super tender, the brocolli not too undercooked, not too mushy. My husband tasted it and his eyes got big, he said that's really good! They go heavy on the scallions, but u can omit them or ask to go lite. Classic pork dumplings were so fresh. Fried rice awesome. The saying goes, if the front of house is dirty you can only imagine the back. This place is spotless. Thank you for our new Chinese food spot!!! read more

Dumpling Panda - Beef and broccoli - Chinese Near Me - Fort Lauderdale, Florida

Ordered Dumpling Panda to go one night and the dumplings are good and flavorful. I got the chicken soup dumplings, chicken dumplings and chicken egg fried rice. Both dumplings were good unfortunately my chicken dumplings accidentally were pork instead but they were flavorful. The rice however didn't seemed like it was fried enough but with the addition of sauces it all tasted good in the end. Everything was delicious though and I will defintely be back for more dumplings. read more

We really wanted to like this place but a lot of things fell short here. We got the Sichuan dumplings that were falling apart. I got the braised beef soupy noodles which were very much just okay. The pork soup dumplings were good. As a treat we got the kids the mochi donuts but they smelled of overused oil and it was not at all a pleasurable dinner. We probably won't return. read more

It's rare to find a Chinese restaurant with authentic dishes that might be considered fast food or quick. read more

After hearing and reading mixed reviews about this place I finally decided to try it . First of all, I LOVE panda bears and I'm not sure why anyone would have a problem with this type of decor. There's no such thing as "too many pandas"! Service was alright, but food was very very tasty! We had the Braised Pork Rice which portion looks small but it's good for at least 3 people followed by the Soup Dumplings and the Sichuan Red Chili Wontons. Such a delicious dinner! read more

This place was amazing! We saw good reviews and walked in with our family of 4. They were super accommodating with the table set up (high chairs available), and we tried a bit of everything. The cucumber salad was fresh, more vinegar than spicy but great. The soup dumplings as advertised were fantastic (we ordered a second round immediately), and so was everything else we got. You can tell the place makes everything from scratch and fresh (haven't had a sheng jian bao/shanghai fried dumpling in forever and it was heaven). They've got the delicate dumpling pan crust down pat and I'd come multiple times a week if I were in the area. Lots of take out action too! read more

So I had been craving Chinese food for a solid week and finally one night I looked some places up. That's when I stumbled across Dumpling Panda which totally satisfied that craving. We got the veggie lo mein, beef dumplings, scallion pancake, and general tso chicken. Everything was really great. I loved the lo mein and the general tso chicken, which was packed with flavor and a great crunch. They have house made dumplings which were good, the beef tasted fresh and the dough was nice and soft. And finally, the scallion pancake was a nice balance of a crunchy outer layer and soft filling inside. We got this food to-go, and we didn't have to wait very long at all to pick up our order. Overall, great chinese food! I'll definitely be back to Dumpling Panda. read more

Must have been a really off day. The fried pork dumplings looked and tasted like half cooked frozen potstickers. The wrapper was hard and the filling not so good. The pork noodles were one single flavor, sweet. And I know they didn't make the Apple soda but it's not good. Had high hopes, waste of $25. Bathroom was spotless read more

The dough for the Sichuan spicy wontons was THIN lol Too thin to actually enjoy it made the texture weird. The chicken broth dumplings were yummy but I wouldn't say there was actually any broth inside them unfortunately. The dough for the dumplings on those were much better tho. The hot and sour soup was yummy and the fresh made bobas were good too! The mochi donuts were warm too! Freshly made which we loved. read more

Cute, but a bit over the top with the panda and steam basket decor. We ordered the pork soup dumplings, pan fried dumplings and fried pork noodles. Soup dumplings were a bit small in size but flavorful. A little too well done as 2 broke, spilling the soup. A few missteps though, they have rice vinegar on the tables, and didn't provide fresh julienne ginger. They only gave us the proper black vinegar but oddly pickled sushi ginger when asked. The dumplings were pan fried but wet from too much water added when frying, kinda gross! Flavorful with a thin skin and a good portion of meat filling. Zha Jiang Mian was overly salty and noodles were overcooked and stuck together. The pork belly was old and dried out. As a franchise it is not authentic and nothing is prepared fresh on premises. Everything tastes frozen and simply heated. Loaded w lots of MSG, my mouth was so dry and I had a headache soon after. I could go to the Asian market n make this at home, served properly. It's a fail imo but to those who don't know better, it's tasty. read more

Was so excited to try the pork soup dumplings & was so disappointed. The filling had an overwhelming ginger flavor and broth was also just meh.

Francine was great she was very attentive the food was good. Can't wait to come back.

I was so excited to try this place but was left disappointed! There's not many Asian food spots around here so I couldn't wait to try it. I ordered the beef steamed dumplings, spring rolls, zha jiang mian noodles, and general tso's chicken. The General Tso's chicken was actually tasty but they literally only gave 7 pieces of chicken!! What the f. For $18 why would I pay that for 7 chicken nuggets. The rest of the box was broccoli..... sorry but that's a rip off. The steamed dumplings weren't tasty and really fell apart poorly. The noodles were dry and lacked flavor as well. I wanted to make sure I had soy sauce and the server said she put in a bunch, I get home and there was 1 soy sauce packet. Thanks. The spring rolls were fine. Also, the rice wasn't packed to the top in the small box. I don't get what's going on with the portions here. So for around $50 I could've gotten more food and better food somewhere else! All in all I think this place could have some potential and maybe because they are too new. I donno I'm making them excuses because I wanted them to be better. read more
