The food was pleasantly surprising in how good it was and the prices were very very fair. We ended up spending €88 for two and that was with 4 dumping dishes, 1 noodle bian mein, 1 pak choy dish and 1 bottle of wine + tiramisu dessert.

This is a great place for a casual meal, with an old friend, and not a formal dinner date. (If you're thinking that, and he or she loves it, then you got yourself a total cheap date! Hookah! The rating is for the authentic, tasty, and well priced food! The downside is it's a small mom and pop and service was as slow as could be and a "get the food to the table" and everything else is "extra" attitude. The veggies were super fresh btw, in a city that seems allergic to green vegetables!

We enjoyed the sizzling beef, salt & pepper chicken, Mama's fried rice, and chicken & corn soup. Plenty of seating in a clean comfortable ambiance. We dined here 3 times in a week (really needed a break from pizza & pasta!) - I would definitely recommend this spot.

It's funny that the place gets crowded starting 9pm for dinner (such late eaters in Italy). Place is very clean, serves chopsticks and fork+spoon. Come and enjoy the meal just like us!!!

My friend and I were inexplicably craving Chinese food and Il Panda did not disappoint. We grabbed a menu and decided we would have a feast! We ended up getting the following: fried wontons, wanton soup, sweet corn chicken soup, vegetable fried rice, chicken chow mein, sweet and sour chicken, and lemon chicken. Sounds like a lot of food, right? It was, but with a price tag of a mere 17€! We spent more eating at a mcdonalds. Not only was the food delicious but the portions generous. We definitely could have fed 3-4 people with the amount we had. I definitely recommend checking out Il Panda if you are looking for some delectable Chinese take out!

You can choose between many different types of noodles (thickness). The flavor of the broth is ok - needed more flavor but not bad.

We wanted to eat Chinese food that night and luckily were able to find this spot in our search. They are located in Florence's "Chinatown". There are Asian markets and a couple of different restaurants that serve Asian food. We were able to walk in and be seated immediately. Staff was very nice; we had great conversations with them ;) Food: we got cauliflower griddle, ma po tofu, beef ramen in szechuan special sauce, japanese ramen with pork & boiled fish with pickled cabbage. Their menu is pretty extensive... not gonna lie, it was a bit overwhelming, 13 pages BUT much appreciated. Lots of options and you're bound to find something you'll like. Overall, the food wasn't too bad. I don't expect to find the best Chinese restaurant in Europe. The boiled fish with pickled cabbage was very salty and oily. I had the beef ramen & it was okay but again, very oily... wasn't spicy just oily. If you're a soup drinker, this soup is not really drinkable. Ma po tofu was also extremely salty. So salty that it tasted spicy. I would only suggest getting the cauliflower. I am rating them a 4/5 because finding a Chinese restaurant was actually pretty hard in Florence.

Someone needs to shut down this racist place, we ordered an appetizer and ate with chopsticks then…read moreafter we ordered our main course, they started to bring the food one at time not together and brought us forks. No one asked for them! And none of the other tables got them. I was so furious and annoyed by this disgusting racism that I said no repeatedly for them to take them off the table. After that our food came out cold and they never came back to check on us. They also never brought our dumplings. I went to the manager and he just laughed under his breath in front of me. This is a sad establishment and unfortunate. Never go to this place or support this type of piss poor performance. You're better off going somewhere else.

It was a great respite from the continuous (albeit delicious) Italian food we had been having for the past few weeks in Italy. Thoroughly satisfying. We ordered: * Steamed Fish - Branzino Al Vapore * Chili and Sour China Cabbage - Cavolo Cinese Agro-Piccante * Pork Rib Bone Noodle Soup * For Dessert: Yam Roll - Involtini di primavera dolci Highly recommend this place for a quality, inexpensive Chinese meal on the particularly cold days we've been experiencing in Florence. Service is fast and efficient. Would go again.

It's right across from another Chinese restaurant (Impressione) that had a line going out the door - 10-deep. Rather than wait around for a disgruntled lady to add us to the waitlist, we just went across the street. The food came out within 15 minutes and everything looked and tasted fresh. It was almost too fast for me to only get a photo of the chicken (cold dish). We also had the beef noodle soup, vegetable noodle soup, garlic steamed bok choy, and sour wonton soup. I would highly recommend this place for authentic food, but it's not fancy and the atmosphere is anything but cozy.
