Barbie was the best! She made recommendations for the peach sidecar and the peach lemon drop & hubby/I loved them both! She was very personable and we will be back because of her! Love her! Food: Oysters, Dumplings, Stuffed Salmon, and Crab&Chicken Pasta - All 10/10! read more

Quentin was amazing!! We came a little before closing and he didn't rush us and was so accommodating and sweet!! I will for sure come back and sit with him again read more

Aesthetics - 10/10 No flower wall and no hookah, thankfully! The ambiance was visually appealing with great music to match. Even better, the volume was perfect; we didn't have to yell over it just to hold a conversation like at some other B/O spots around DFW. Our server, Jasmine, was excellent and very knowledgeable about the menu and offered spot-on recommendations. Drinks - 10/10 Pangea Lemon Drop and Sidecar. Easily the highlight of the night. Both were crafted perfectly and definitely worth coming back for. Food - 5/10 14 oz ribeye and stuffed salmon. We shared the cobb salad as an appetizer, which was good. The steak, not so much. It looked great on the plate, but unfortunately, it was tough and chewy....almost rubbery, and extremely difficult to enjoy. On the bright side, my girl loved her salmon, so that was a win. Overall A cool experience overall, mainly carried by the ambiance and drinks. I'd consider coming back for cocktails, but not much else. read more

Food was excellent! We had the Nigerian Meat Pies, Jerk Lamb Shank, Brussels sprouts, cornbread, not your mamas greens. Everything was fire!!! The drinks were delish! We had the passion fruit lemon drop, frozen peach Bellini, and old fashion. I'm girly still the passion fruit lemon drop is high rating for me! I would definitely go back and recommend. Ambiance was beautiful as well. Service a tad slow but worth the wait! read more

Great service. The red fish entree was very good and flavorful. Service was excellent. Cornbread was overcooked and buttery asf, I don't recommend it. Nice decor, patio gives Miami like vibes. Valet charged us $30 to park the truck on the street 'too big for the garage' . If your feet can stand it park in the parking lot a block away. 1 app, 1 side, 2 entrees, 1 drink, still water ($10). Total ticket $200 w/ tip. read more

So before I left Dallas I went back 1 more time to treat myself to a celebratory dinner for my new job I was about to start. I even brought a friend with me. It was much slower than the previous time I went, so that was good. I greeted by the hostess at the door and she sat us promptly. Our waitress Jazmin came over and introduced herself and answered some questions my friend had about the menu. I ended up ordering the salmon plate and my friend ordered their oysters. Let me just say both were DELISH!!!! The salmon was perfect and the sauce was OMG!!! My friend let me try a couple of oysters and I have to say those were the best oysters I've had. The vibe was very chill for a Friday evening and it was within walking distance to my hotel. I do recommend Pangea to anyone who wants a lil African-American fusion of food you will not be disappointed. I hope to return on visit. Also check out the ladies restroom it's very posh with this cute purple love seat and they provide mouthwash to refresh read more

Street parking is limited in close proximity to the restaurant. The inside of the restaurant is aesthetically pleasing. The patio area had exposed roof components therefore, it was not easy on the eyes. Collectively we decide the food was a 7/10. To forewarn you the jerk lamb was extremely spicy and we had to send it back for another salmon plate. The drinks were 10/10. Our server was fantastic, it was his first week there (3/21/2026), but he was thorough and friendly. read more

I wish I could've given this place five stars today, but there was a lot of hiccups in our service. Our server forgot to put our orders in twice and so there was a long waiting time before we got our appetizer and additional bread. I received my salmon entrée, and my guests did not receive their entrée until another 15 minutes later. A manager came over to comp our appetizer, which was really nice, but we were not the only table at the restaurant tonight that complained about the service. And we were one of five tables in the entire restaurant so it wasn't busy but service was very subpar. My meal would've been great had my mashed potatoes not been cold when they came out. Overall, everyone was extremely nice. I just wish the service and operations was a little better. read more

First time returning since the reopening! The new location is gorgeous! The food and atmosphere were absolutely amazing! We had a slight snag with service but it was quickly corrected.

Located in the heart of downtown Dallas off Pacific Avenue, I recently visited the new Pangea location to support the owner, a professional colleague. The ambiance is beautiful -- modern, polished, and welcoming. From the moment we arrived, everything was well organized and we were seated immediately. The customer service was excellent throughout the visit. During brunch, I ordered "The Classic," which was well prepared and enjoyable. Later in the day when the dinner menu reopened at 4 PM (we were already there), my friend ordered the pasta while I tried the mac and cheese -- both were flavorful and satisfying. The drinks were great as well; I had a martini and a tequila sunrise. Our bartender, Will, was professional, attentive, and made sure we were taken care of the entire time. Next time, I definitely plan to return in the evening and try the stuffed salmon, as the dinner menu has always been appealing. Overall, between the atmosphere, service, and food quality, this establishment earns a 10/10 from me. I'll absolutely be back. read more

Let's start by saying I saw a lot of mixed reviews before coming, and unfortunately my experience reflected that. We arrived around 11 PM to extremely loud music and waited quite a while for a host, even as staff walked past without acknowledging us. Once we were finally seated, we were told several menu items weren't available. No calamari or dumplings, which set the tone early. I will say, our server was great--attentive and professional. However, the food didn't match the level the place seems to promote. We ordered wings, fries, a burger, chicken sandwiches, and catfish. Everything was pretty basic, and some items tasted like they were cooked in old oil or without much care. The catfish was the only dish that felt worth paying for. The space itself also lacked airflow, which made the overall experience less comfortable. I genuinely want to support and see places like this succeed, but the food preparation and overall service need improvement.....especially when it's marketed as a quality experience. The owner did come over and check on the women at our table, which was surprising considering I'm the only one who lives here and a business owner myself. The DJ was amazing and definitely carried the vibe. After a few drinks, the energy of the space picks up--but for me, that wasn't enough to make up for everything else. My entire table felt the same way. Unfortunately, this wasn't a great experience, and I don't see myself returning. read more

It's not your grandmama's soul food, but it's good. The best thing about Pangea is the service. The hostesses greet you with the warmth of an old friend and the servers are top tier. The bar area is small, but there's plenty of seating to enjoy dinner. read more

This was my first time at Pangea since I'm visiting in town with a good friend and I must say the food was amazing. It was just so flavorful we started with the Pangea rolls, which was something I've never experienced before, but I hope to have again next we had dumplings. The fried dumplings were so amazing and their Pozo sauce hit the spot. I decided to have the stuff salmon, but I requested potato purée. They don't usually do substitutions, but it was a slow night so I was able to have it my way and I must say I loved it. My friend had the lamb shank and she said it was so amazing and even shared a small piece with me and I must say I agree. lastly, we both decided to have some mocktails tonight and I suggest just mixing it up because the purée does sit at the bottom but overall this was a 10 out of 10 experience must do it again. read more

I had a terrible experience at Pangea and honestly would not recommend it. We were a table of four and waited 45 minutes just for drinks, which is already unacceptable. It then took another 45 minutes for shrimp flatbreads, and by that point, we were extremely frustrated. When I noticed the owner, I politely asked our server if he could come speak with us. I calmly and respectfully explained the long wait times and also mentioned that the music selection lacked variety. Instead of receiving that feedback professionally, the owner, Kevin Ashade, responded with an attitude that was rude, dismissive, and completely unprofessional. As Black women, we approached him with respect, and the way we were treated in return was extremely disappointing. At that point, we decided it was best to cancel our order and go elsewhere. However, even after that decision, my shrimp flatbread still came out another 35 minutes later--and it was incorrect. To make matters worse, my friend overheard him say, "Get these b***** out of here!"* in reference to us. That was shocking, disrespectful, and completely unacceptable behavior from any business owner. No customer--especially those who are calm and respectful--should ever be spoken about or treated like that. The lack of accountability, poor service, and outright hostility overshadow what could have been a great experience in a beautiful establishment. If you can't handle constructive feedback or treat your guests with basic respect, you shouldn't be in hospitality. We will not be returning. read more

Very spacious restaurant. We came on a Wednesday night and it was decently busy. I think it'd be a really cool vibe on a weekend as well. I really wanted to try the jollof rice but they were out. I ended up having a poke bowl and greens. The greens were delicious and the poke was also tasty. read more

Stopped by the new Pangea location yesterday was enjoyed my time. The crab and shrimp dip was delicious, GET THAT! Calamari was average but good. Other than the calamari we pretty much ordered from waiter recommendation. She was very knowledgeable of the menu and that was a big perk. My ribeye wasn't at the temp I ordered but it was still good. My friend ordered the stuff salmon and subbed the rice for potatoes and she liked that too. The music was a bit loud out on the patio. Went on a rainy day so the fact the patio is covered and temp controlled is great. Overall I would return but not often because it is a bit expensive. read more

When entering the restaurant, we were immediately captivated by the ambiance. The decor is neutral yet elevated. I had the opportunity to experience the soft opening and beyond thrilled to go back. The hostesses were kind and eager to assist with any questions or concerns we may have had. There was plenty of food and cocktails being served. The menu may alter as this was a soft opening but to start, we tasted the tomato basil soup, sushi, and shrimp cocktail. As the night progressed, as well as the indulgence of cocktails, we sampled the brisket mac & cheese and wagyu sliders. The brisket Mac and cheese was the star. I am hoping this will remain on the actual menu. This place offers a variety of elevated dishes and in a prime location. I highly suggest securing your reservation. read more

We were able to make reservations for 9:00pm. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a few welcoming hostesses. Michael was our server very attentive and communicative. We started with the snow crab claws as an appetizer the cream sauce made the dish. We also ordered the Have Merci Chicken and Fried Rice w/ a side of Brussels sprouts. My only reason for the four stars is that the music was blaring at it was hard to hear each other when talking. Other wise, everything was great read more

Beautiful space plus a very usable patio with a/c. Very friendly service. We shared everything to taste as many dishes as possible. Menu is a melange of African and American flavors. Standouts are the Nigerian meat pies, the peri peri chicken on jollof rice, and of course Chef's famous Coq au vin which beat #ChefBonnyFlay 's version. I like it; non-traditional tomato based and delicious. Portions are generous. read more

The ambiance exuded luxury and relaxation. I started with the cornbread and Have Mercy. The sweet cornbread was so delectable that I didn't bring any home. I tasted the Have Mercy, famous for its winning combination of chicken and pureed potatoes, which were excellent. However, the cold tomato mixture was bland and didn't enhance the dish. Meanwhile, others reveled in the mac and cheese, steak, broccoli, and lamb chops. I definitely plan to return and try the other tempting dishes. The customer service was exceptional during the quieter midday hours. read more

The food, service and ambiance at Pangea was 10/10! I visited to celebrate my partner's birthday and Ebony gave us the very best service. She told us all the special, off menu items, offered recommendations for drinks and had the warmest demeanor that felt like an old friend. The space doesn't even feel like you're in Dallas, it's gorgeous. The GM made his way around the entire dining room and patio to talk to each table and say welcome back. I've missed Pangea since they closed and am so glad they're back! I'll be visiting again soon to enjoy the patio as well. read more

Back and Better!!! Oh how you have been missed by friends and myself! You did not disappoint! Great location at Harwood and Pacific with easy parking right at the corner. Patio is bigger and beautiful, enclosed with a modern decor and great lighting. Great for pictures Inside was just a beautiful. The bamboo type covering over the lights, modern decor, comfortable chairs. Bar/bar-top in the middle. Seating area in both sides of the bar- tables and booths. One booth area has large mirror on the wall- another photo opportunity. Everyone was friendly from the hostesses to the manager with the cute flip ponytail. Our server was attentive, polite, suggestion chef item of the night (redfish), other servers assisted him in bringing out our food. Food was even better than we remembered.

I use to love Pangea in Garland I believe before they closed.. I tried the new one in Dallas and the stuffed salmon tastes nothing like the old dish. Food came out terribly slow/ some cold. Lobster tails cooked rubbery twice ... Just unfortunately not what I expected. the manager was super helpful, and definitely made it up to us. But. I was sadly disappointed at the re open . It's only been about a month so I hope they get it together appetizers and drinks were good lol read more

I recently dined at Pangea after hearing they reopened, and unfortunately, the experience was very disappointing. I made reservations in advance for 6:30 PM for two, so I expected things to run smoothly--especially from a restaurant with an experienced owner--but the entire evening felt extremely unorganized. We were assigned multiple waiters, and our main server seemed unfamiliar with the menu and couldn't even remember what we ordered (and didn't bother writing it down). We waited over an hour just for appetizers, which arrived cold. To make matters worse, the wrong appetizer was initially brought out, and we were told the kitchen was "backed up." No one was apologetic, and by that point, I was starving and frustrated. I ended up canceling my entrée because I had no confidence it would come out in a reasonable time. My friend ordered the lamb shank entrée, and even that arrived cold. The only redeeming item was the cornbread, which was decent. I ordered the shrimp tempura roll and crab fingers, and both were honestly unpleasant--I didn't even bother taking them to go. Considering the menu prices are not cheap, the food quality and service were very underwhelming. When the bill came, the waiter dropped it off without acknowledgment or a simple "thank you for dining with us." Valet is also $15, and the valet attendant even mentioned he'd heard that some guests left without eating, which unfortunately aligns with our experience. Overall, between the disorganization, cold food, and lack of hospitality, I don't see myself returning. read more

I really enjoyed my visit to Pangea. The location is beautiful and makes for a great dining environment. The service was excellent; our server was attentive throughout the entire meal. As for the food, the tomato bisque was perfect and the lamb chops were also a standout.

Overall, it was a very solid experience and I'd definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the area. read more

I've always loved Pangea--I even visited the Dallas location on opening weekend, and the food and service were amazing. That's why I was so disappointed with my experience yesterday. We knew the wait time could be 45 minutes to an hour, so we ordered everything at once: drinks, appetizer, and entrée. Unfortunately, the timing was completely off. My entrée arrived first, and my appetizer didn't come out until about 30 minutes later--which felt very backwards. It got worse from there. Ebony didn't receive her full order until nearly an hour after the rest of the table had already started getting parts of ours, which made the whole experience frustrating and disorganized. We also learned that menu modifications aren't really an option. When we asked, the waitress told us, "how it's stated on the menu is how it can come only," which felt pretty limiting. Lastly, I noticed the owner was nearby greeting other tables. After multiple issues, I asked if I could speak with him, but was told he doesn't speak to tables--even though he was just a couple of tables away. Overall, this experience was really disappointing, especially compared to how much I've enjoyed Pangea in the past. I'm hoping this was just an off day, but it definitely didn't reflect the quality I was expecting. read more

I was happy to see Pangea up and running and actually surprised they weren't busting from the seams with more people. It was a Sunday evening - but still. The Maître d was on point, acknowledging my reservation and quickly seating my guest and I. They were super accommodating, when we sat for a moment and I decided to ask for a four top instead of the window seat. The vantage point allowed my guest and I to take in everything. The space is laid out nicely with a nice fit and feel to mostly everything. Careful when visiting the latrine, a small child could swing the door off the hinges. Lighting was perfect and the music was just approaching a level where a conversation might be difficult. We ordered a couple manhattans to sip while we looked over the menu. The cocktails were well done, the crab claws were not. They seemed over cooked and the flavor was off and thats the only gripe I have food wise. The table took another round of cocktails with the Kale Caesar and the Tomato Bisque. The salad seemed well dressed and the bisque was hot and packed with flavor and texture. The choices, the choices, the all looked so good. My guest doesn't eat beef or chicken so it was the stuffed salmon and redfish with some Brussels and green beans. All done well especially for just the 3rd night in service. The table wrapped up with two cocktails, the last word and boulevardier. Again kudos to mixologist, they held it down! One point I will make to new restaurants and entrepreneurs. Invest in your people, they are the face and often times can break or make the experience. I consider Pangea's to be fine dining, our server struggled to make a connection. They weren't familiar with the menu and were clearly reading from the menu laid out on the table. Restauranteurs must demand their team take pride in the service they offer. The hiring process must be steeped with standards and once hired the training and operational standards should be exceptional. I could sense our liaison for the evening wanted our experience to be exceptional and made up for the minor hiccups with effort. I give Pangea's a five and a must try. Get their food in your belly! read more

I made 9:30pm reservations for a dinner date night on Friday 2/20/26 and arrived early at 9:08pm. We checked in and they told us we were early but your table will be ready shortly. The host said you can sit outside and we will come get you once your table was prepared. After 30 mins has passed I went to check to see what was the delay because we had a celebration to attend later that night at 11:30pm so time was important. The host told me it's still not ready but you are next, so I went back to the waiting area and waited another 20 minutes. The host came out to get us but "mistakenly" gave our table to another party of 4. She apologized for the confusion and we had to wait for them to clear a Table that was not being serviced. We were seated at 10:20 and she told us that "your server will be right over" 3 servers in our area and no one came, just looked at us like we didn't belong. I then stopped a server and asked for a manager. The server came back and said the manger said that he was busy, so then I asked how can we get service? We didn't even have water on our table, two dirty empty glasses, no water no nothing. I asked what is the managers name? He replied, we have 3 MGT on the floor and Ed is the one he told that I wanted to speak with him. I said which one is Ed? He pointed to a guy in a suit laughing at the door with seems to be security. I couldn't tell because the guy had on black latex chef gloves but I only assumed because he stood at the door and let people in and out. Me and Ed made eye contact and he just looked at me knowing I'm the guy who asked for a manager. I told the server he's not doing anything and he said that he'd get another manager (Kiersten) she came out immediately and I stressed my concerns. She apologized and offered complementary drinks with an appetizer for the inconvenience. Rudy said that he would be our sever from that point on. We ordered combination suya which consists of chicken, beef and shrimp, shrimp tempura roll, french 75 with VSOP Hennessy and my date had Peach Bellini. We also just went ahead and put our order in so we didn't have to wait any longer because we had other engagements for the night. Drinks and appetizers came out right away. Drinks were good but food was cold and they told us they were sold out of shrimp so they would add more chicken and beef. It is now 12am and still no food. Ed walked around to every table and checked on guests but never made his way to my table. Didn't say one word or is everything fine. His attention was only serving baddies(fine women) Ed's hospitality is a zero, customer service zero! To think you are running a high volume restaurant downtown. At 12:30am our food hasn't come out yet, so they gave us another round of drinks. Then 12:40am came and we waived our server down and said did they give up?? What's going on!?? We've been waiting for 3 hrs for food. He really didn't have an answer and it wasn't his fault. He was very polite and apologetic. Manager Kiersten was going to give us comps for our next visit but she got tied up in the kitchen because of the overload. Chef Kevin might've been overwhelmed with an unexpected night. I saw two managers working and serving the floor, one manger mingling and laughing with women and the security guard. One of the host girls was rude she was the tallest out of the three. I wish I would've gotten her name because her behavior and body language was like she was better than the guest. When you work in the service industry, your job is to serve with a smile! No matter the volume! A lot of coaching needs to be done and Chef Kevin needs to hire more staff and qualified professionals. A big thanks to Kiersten and Rudy who keep us in the building when we should've left after the table was given away. This ruined our night! We missed the next event and went home hungry. Worst experience ever. I've been to 12 different countries, 30 states and over couple hundred cities! I've eaten at a 1,000 places NEVER IN MY LIFE HAVE A WAITED 3hrs and 40 minutes for a meal. read more

My friends and I went to Pangea last Sunday. The ambiance and decor was beautiful. But like most Dallas establishments the food and service were the complete opposite. We arrived at around 8:30PM and our food + drinks took a whole hour and a half. For whatever reason there was ONE waiter on the floor, mind you the restaurant wasn't that busy. The waiter was extremely nice and apologetic, he really was trying his best given the circumstances. It got to a point where we purposefully did not remind him about the drinks or appetizers we ordered an hour ago. I ordered the Have Merci and 5 cheese Mac. Both items were honestly trash. The chicken was extremely dry, and barely seasoned. The mash potatoes were warm and the plate had to be sent back. The Mac and cheese was extremely salty, dry and lack luster. Overall the food and service was extremely disappointing and not worth it. The manager was kind and unapologetic, she ended up comping majority of our meal which was appreciated. I doubt I'll ever return. read more
