About China Panda
On Aigburth Road in Liverpool, China Panda operates as a fish and chips takeaway with orders placed at the counter. The name points to a menu that likely pairs the fish and chips staples with Chinese dishes, though the exact range is set day to day at the counter. Service runs on a walk-in basis, with no reservations taken. Customers place their order and wait on site or take the food away.

Customer Review Summary
Recurring complaints center on the rice, described repeatedly as dry, clumpy, and old, alongside spare ribs called dry or "knuckles of fat" and chips reported cold, soggy, or hard and greasy. Several diners report receiving the wrong order, including a house special that arrived with only chicken instead of a promised mix, and one reviewer says a complaint about ribs and chips was met with no solution from staff. Specific dishes singled out as poor include the hot and sour soup, crispy chilli beef described as rancid, black bean chicken, and a char sui wonton noodle soup one reviewer likens to "dirty bath water." Several reviewers report nausea or vomiting after eating, describing the food as inedible. Against this, one reviewer calls the food scrumptious and reasonably priced, planning to order again for Valentine's, though wishing the Singapore chow mein were spicier.

“Got the wrong meal and the chips and ribs we're so bad. Chips were inedible, so hard and greasy. The ribs were just knuckles of fat. Tried to complain and staff had no solution at all. Won't be going back”

“DISGUSTING. Whoever’s reading this, I wouldn’t recommend - chips were cold and soggy, rice was dry; so was the salt and pepper chicken. My partner and I haven’t stopped throwing up”

“Black bean chicken was awful. Chicken was clearly processed and sauce was terrible”

“I wish I’d have listened to the reviews, I ordered sweet and sour chicken, boiled rice and salt and pepper chips, flavour-wise it was nice but the chips were luke warm at best and clearly yesterdays or something, the rice- same issue old cold and stuck together the sauce was also cold/ like warm, we don’t own a microwave anymore as ours broke so there was no way to heat up not that you should have to! Would not go here again please take the reviews into consideration xx”

“Genuinely cannot believe how bad the food is from this place. Ordered crispy chilli beef and the beef tasted rancid! Had to get my husband to taste it and he threw up!”
