THE PLACE: located in a Miramar shopping center, parking is free, but can be tricky to find depending on the time of the day. Inside the restaurant is very small, it only has a few tables. Outside table seating is also available. The restaurant is well decorated and feels inviting, but it is extremely cold. THE FOOD: On our visit, we had to scallion pancakes 2/5 the flakes and texture was great, but overall nothing special to this dish, chicken lo mein 3/5 good portion, good flavor, but the sauce tends to sit at the bottom of the bowl, so make sure to mix it, and the soup dumplings 5/5, fresh, soft, simple, yet so flavorful. THE SERVICE: When we came in, we got seated immediately. The table next to us was complaining to the chef (?) and manager about the waitress being rude to them, how the food was cold and how other guests received their food before them. I should've taken this as a hint and walked out. The waitress came about 10 minutes after we sat, and while she was nice, the service was lackluster. She also completely forgot to bring one of my dishes, even though it was placed on the tab - I had to correct her and ask her to remove it from tab. She apologized, but between the people complaining, the mediocre food and the missing dish. I was just over it. I wouldn't necessarily rush or highly recommend this restaurant. It isn't bad, but it isn't great. If you did decide to visit, the soup dumplings were the only reason I would recommend to come.

As soon as I walked in I noticed the inside isn't very big and not a whole lot of seating. We came for lunch on a Friday around 2:00 and it was pretty empty but it started to pick up around 3:00. To my surprise, the dumpling menu wasn't very big. I ordered the general tso's chicken. This was cooked well, flavorful, and enough for two people to share. We then shared the chicken soup dumplings and beef dumplings. I thought the chicken soup dumplings were great especially when you add the soy sauce. I'm not a fan of beef dumplings but my fiancé said it was really good. The service could have been better. There were two servers working and an hour into our meal there were two tables of about 4-7 people in each. Food came out fast but we barely saw our server. She wasn't that attentive nor friendly the few interactions we had with her, but she could have been overworked due to the large parties that came in. Overall it's not a bad location, decent service, and tasty food. I would come back again and reorder the general tso's chicken- it was that good!

This Dumpling Panda is in a strip mall where Red Road, Flamingo Road, and Miramar Parkway kind of meet. If you live in Pembroke Pines, you're familiar with the geographical location. I don't live there, so it was kind of tricky finding the restaurant. Once you find it, there's plenty of parking in the strip mall where it is housed. The eatery is small; it seats about 16-20. It is decorated, of course, with lots of pandas. Service was amicable but not quite fast. The dumplings did take a while to come out, and they came before my soup. For lunch, my cousin-in-law and I each ordered the pork soup dumplings. She also got chicken fried rice. Along with my soup dumplings, I ordered a hot and sour soup and an order of spring rolls. (Yes, we both planned to take extras home). The soup dumplings are a tad smaller than those you'll find elsewhere, which I really liked. The skin is also a bit thinner. I always have trouble eating big soup dumplings, because I don't want to bite into them and squirt the soup all over myself. I want to enjoy every drop, and I did with these dumplings. Even though they were a tad large to fit nicely into my mouth, I shoved each one in so none of the soup would go to waste. And I enjoyed the delectable flavor of a savory seasoned meat with a broth that is probably one of the best I have ever had. The fried rice was seasoned just right and the chicken was tender. The spring egg rolls were crispy, crunchy, and tasty. Hot and sour soup is one of my favorite things and it's very difficult for me to find one that I like. I absolutely loved this one with it's tofu, mushrooms, and other veggies. Having drank all the soup, I only had one spring roll and 4 soup dumplings to bring home for hubby, so I wanted to order either scallion pancakes or the drunken chicken. They were out of both. So, I ordered the fried sauce pork noodles to accompany my leftovers for hubby's lunch. But we were both disappointed with that dish because the pork was dry and salty. For my order of soup dumplings, a bowl of hot and sour soup, an order of spring rolls, and the pork noodles with tax and tip included, I spent $41. There's a dumpling Panda closer to home in Fort Lauderdale, so I think I will try that location next. Hopefully they will have the pancakes and drunken chicken.

Overall nice little spot, we walked inside and got greeted right away. We decided to sit outside ( there is outside and inside seating) Our waiter was attentive and helpful since, it was our first time and not sure what we wanted. Thank goodness I got the braised beef dish because i found it a tad bit small for someone who likes to eat ( like my husband ) for me it was perfect . The same for the LoMein massive portion. The taste was ok nothing out of the ordinary. We did enjoy it but to say we may go back again .... ehhh...I would want to try another dumpling spot.

I came here for dinner and tried the chicken dumplings and the mongolian beef with rice. The chicken dumplings were delicious. They were warm and cooked to perfection. However,the mongolian beef was okay. I usually love onions but I found the amount of onions in this plate to be overpowering and the seasoning as well. I would not order this dish again but I would definitely return for the chicken dumplings. The service was okay.

My last experience was truly not good I'm a regular here and I just didnt have a good experience at all. The spring rolls were hard on the outside and uncooked inside. The general taos chicken had hard little sticks inside of it just not good . I called the restaurant but nothing was done or said.

I was craving soup dumplings and decided to try this place. We ordered the Taiwanese beef noodle soup, crab and pork dumplings, scallion pancake, and crispy pork. The beef noodle soup was okay and the scallion pancake was super oily. That being said, I really enjoyed the crispy pork and dumplings. Definitely recommend getting the crispy pork. Make sure you eat the soup dumplings asap, as it's not as good when it's not fresh. Overall food was good. The Taiwanese crispy pork was the best part of the meal.

I'm surprised I haven't written a review sooner. The last time I came here a few months ago, it was honestly a terrible experience. Our server back then (a Hispanic male) was more interested in entertaining his friends than taking care of us. After wasting over 20 minutes, we literally put cash on the table for the drinks and walked out. This time, though, was a complete turnaround thanks to our server, Chynna. She was attentive, friendly, and made great recommendations. Everything she suggested was spot on, and she brought the food out quickly and with a smile. The Cucumber Salad was refreshing and delicious, the Pan-Fried Dumplings were amazing, and the Scallion Pancake was perfectly done. The only miss for us was the Chili Wonton--not really to our taste. Overall, Chynna really won us over with her excellent service and attitude. Because of her, we left happy and will definitely come back again. #WEWILLBEBACK

Came here a little over a month ago and even though I've eaten at a few other places since then, my mind has been lingering on this place. Stumbled on it when I had originally intended to eat next door for a casual date night (a fav go-to), but we made a quick pivot when we noticed this spot and it did not disappoint. It has a laid back vibe with limited seating, but we had no trouble getting a table and service was quick and friendly. As we waited for our food, we saw a lot of people going in and out for pick-up orders which was a good sign. Our meal actually exceeded our expectations considering a lot of their options seemed pretty standard for an asian take-out establishment. We tried the Mongolian beef which came with rice and was a good size to share, spare rib appetizer, pork soup dumplings, and mochi donuts for dessert. The dumplings were brought out first and were a great appetizer but got quickly overshadowed by the richer flavors of our following meat dishes. The Mongolian beef was perfectly tender despite being thicker cut pieces, better than your standard take-out version in my opinion. We cleared the spare ribs down to the bone as well. These came last despite being listed as an appetizer, but that wasn't an issue for us; good things take time. And just when I thought my taste buds couldn't be any more delighted, the mochi donuts also surprised. I've tried mochi donuts from a few other places before and they've always been just okay to me. These were served warm and the mochi consistency was actually noticeable-- a pillowy soft chew like I've had in no other. I think I would've even preferred them without the Nutella drizzle, or at least way less because it weighed them down quite a bit. I typically have a sweet tooth, so any donut that can shine without the flair is a home run in my book. I would recommend dining in if you get a chance- fresh is best. Overall very satisfying and thrilled to have a solid dumpling spot (and new go-to!) close to home.

Miramar definitely needed a new addition like dumpling panda. I love the concept that ordering is made quick and easy with the QR code, and they were definitely fast to prepare the meal. This time I only tried the Dan Dan noodles and soup dumplings. While the soup dumplings were good, the noodles were a huge favorite of mine. The decor inside was very cute too, I loved the orange and blue theme. I'm eager to try the fried pork chop next time, it's a perfect spot for a quick casual lunch.

Dumpling Panda in Miramar is the mothership where all the dumplings are made for the three locations, and it's the one to visit if you want the full experience. The Fort Lauderdale location came second, and the Boca Raton outpost, which shares space with Zuru Ramen (this location adjoins one), doesn't always have the full menu, so Miramar is the best bet. The Xiaolongbao soup dumplings are excellent--better than Dumpling King and Serious Dumplings. They have thin skins, a ginger-forward broth, and were so good we ate them plain without vinegar or soy. Next time we'll try the crab/pork and chicken varieties. The hot and sour soup was another standout, easily the best I've had locally: light, not cornstarch-thickened, packed with mushrooms, seemingly vegan, and with a sharp pepper-vinegar balance that makes it craveable on its own. We had the vegetable pan-fried dumplings, which were tasty but basic--mostly just cabbage. Dumpling King does a better version with chives and glass noodles. We also ordered the Sichuan dumplings, but they came overcooked and falling apart, so I swapped them out for pan-fried pork dumplings. Those were much better, with a nice crisp edge and savory filling, though again Dumpling King's are bigger, juicier, and benefit from their thicker skins. We also tried the Kung Pao shrimp, which impressed me--sautéed shrimp in a spicy, vinegar-bright sauce with cabbage, carrots, dried chilies, and peanuts, much closer to Sichuan style than the usual gloppy version. The wok menu includes more Americanized dishes like General Tso's, Mongolian beef, and chicken and broccoli, clearly catering to a wider crowd, but if the Kung Pao is any indicator they can do them justice. Overall, Dumpling Panda excels at the soup dumplings and hot and sour soup, and while not every dumpling hit the mark, the Miramar location is worth the trip if you want the full range of what they offer.

NEW dumpling/noodle spot alert! Located on Miramar Pkwy and Red Rd, this new find provides quick, efficient mobile ordering that avoids a need to form a line or meet at a register so you can sit and enjoy company. It's pretty small so seating is limited and there is some outdoors seating to help with overflow, although I feel that it's supposed to be an in and out situation. Dumpling wise they're small but the flavors are there. There was fried and soup variety, as well as wontons and spring rolls. I believe they make everything in house! And I enjoy soup dumplings no matter what sooo I'm easily pleased. We also ordered the Northern Zha Jiang Mian dish, which is noodles with a pork bean sauce, to try. I think this place is v good so far, nothing to complain about. Can't forget the cute pandas everywhere, which is a plus! Everyone loves pandas.

I am a huge fan of soup dumplings and when I lived in Seattle I knew where to find the best ones, but ever since I moved back to Miami I couldn't get my soup dumpling fix. Then I found Dumpling Panda. Problem solved! I went with my nieces and we ordered different food items to taste and everything was tasty but for me the star of the show was the Pork Soup Dumplings. They are perfection. I love that they have a lot of the soup filling so that first slurp is so tasty. I have been back twice and enjoyed it every time. The place is small but with indoor and outdoor seating. Parking is easy as it is located in a shopping center.
