Customer Review Summary
Salt and Pepper Chicken Wings draw repeated praise, with reviewers calling them "out of this world," while the Panda meal box and its garlic butter chips also get singled out for generous portions, and the prawn toast earns a mention as the best one reviewer has had. Several describe the takeaway as fast and reasonably priced, with food arriving in sealed containers, and many highlight friendly counter staff and a clean, modern feel while waiting. The bench seating draws recurring gripes, with more than one comparing it to jail-style seating and saying it doesn't suit a romantic meal or feel like a proper restaurant, though the food is called worth the visit regardless. Cash only payment is noted as still in effect. One reviewer, however, reports a let down on their most recent order, describing cold chow mein and a schezwan dish that arrived as a "cold bland curry," calling it the third disappointing order in a row and saying they'll now avoid the place. Most others describe returning happily, with one calling it their family's go to takeaway after a fifteen minute drive to get there.

“Bloomin lovely Chinese food... fabulous taste... fresh ingredients... and good service... ordered a meal to pick up from here last night after our gig at The Lumley... (we're Mithril... played at The Lumley yesterday afternoon)... the prices are fair, considering the current economic crisis... took the food back to our hotel and apart from a few surprise chunks of sliced red chilli (!*!?) it was amongst the best top 5 Chinese takeaways we've ever had... The cash only rule is still a thing and another reviewer is right about the bench seating... it's not the place for a romantic meal... All in all ... just like Arnie... we'll be back... xx”

“Just ordered 2 chow mein's and a schezwan. All food cold , Not a schezwan it was a cold bland curry. Really dissapointed will give it a miss from now on as this is the third order that has been a let down presentation no thought at all . Not what we have had previously from Pandas .I am just confirming that all food purchased for this order and previously was from Skegness Lumley road .”

“The food here is amazing! Decent price and the takeaway food came in sealed containers and a posh carrier bag. The prawn toast is the best I've ever had.”

“The customer service was great and the man who served us was so lovely☺️ me and my partner didn’t eat in, we took away but the food and packaging is just next level. There’s a modern feel in the restaurant while we waited and the food was gorgeous, can’t wait to be back when we’re on our next holiday☺️”
