Royal Panda in Zürich

Food is good, but unfortunately the price-performance ratio is not right

Top food, top service, top everything

Very full boxes. Delicious food and mostly friendly service. Mandarin knowledge would be an advantage🧐

A very pleasant experience. The dishes are very delicious and authentic Chinese food. The dishes I recommend are crispy duck, steamed sea bass, dried chives and beans, hand-shredded cabbage, soybeans and pig’s trotters, and Cantonese rice noodles. The lunch buffet is also very rich, and the side dishes are great. A cold dish, it’s really great. I hope everyone who likes it can enjoy the authentic food that they talk about.

I work as a dentist in the dental boutique next door and appreciate a healthy, freshly prepared and good-tasting lunch, especially when things have to go quickly - it's always friendly, polite and funny in the exchange 😊 - I like to come back and look forward to it soon Bring time to eat HotPot 🙌😇🥰

Perfect for students, takeaway amazing. Service perfect

As a Chinese Shanghainese, it feels very delicious! highly recommended! ! !

Super good food!!! Very authentic!!! Best in Zurich.

Super fine food with super friendly service, and in addition to the large portions there is even a student discount!! Best take away at Kreuzplatz 🫶🏻

Nice restaurant and the service was fast and friendly. The place was packed! I've eaten in alot of asian restaurants in the city but this place has the best sweet n sour crispy pork in Zurich! The friedrice, fried eggplant and crispy garlic ribs were so delicious. All the dishes were well seasoned and made to order. Update, 2nd time visit in March 2024 : My review stays the same. Thanks to the whole crew for the lovely evening.

Excellent buffet at lunchtime. Satisfies small and big hunger ;-). Chicken and beef from Switzerland! There are also bao buns as well as a large selection of vegetables and dishes. We recommend. Price performance for Zurich is outstanding.

We ordered from Royal Panda and had to wait almost 2 hours. The food was cold and there was no rice with the menu. This is not visible on the order page. After we called, they said this wasn't Royal Panda's fault. Very bad service

Simple and very good Asian cuisine, extremely friendly staff - lunch buffet top!

Went in for a buffet lunch today. The food was much better than expected. Good selections of food, their fried shrimps was really tasty. All the food was delicious and fresh. Pretty good deal for CHF22 for all you can eat. Will be returning!

Always a buffet with plenty of choice, which is not just a welcome change.

One of the better Chinese restaurants I’ve tried in Zurich. The fish we had was delicious and mildly spicy. The sweet and sour pork was tasty, I enjoyed the eggplant dish we ordered too. A bit pricy for what you get but it’s on par with Zurich standards of cost to portion ratio. I applaud the service here they managed to distract my son from having a tantrum here and were very accommodating to having a couple children there.

simply amazing food. staff always very friendly. very cute little spot with charming ambiance.

TERRIBLE!!! We booked a table for a Chinese new year via online platform a day before! Received a phone call almost in the evening demanding us to eat for an hour! We specify that will come with a baby, traveling from another city, and still no nice gesture or hospitality shown!!! Clearly the money a priority for you! Never will try or recommend!

Extremely friendly staff ❤️ And the food is just wonderful 💫

Very authentic food and extremely friendly hosts. Thank you for a wonderful evening

I love pandas and I love going to Royal Panda restaurant!! 🐼 The staff is really nice & the food is delicious. One of my regular lunch spots. Highly recommend!

I expected something better. The food was ok, but didn't exactly blow us away - the duck didn't taste like anything, dim sums weren't bad, but 9 pieces for 26 francs are also quite expensive. Nice service.

Hygiene is not taken seriously at the buffet. No protection through the courts. Not recommended in terms of taste for this price. There are cheaper and better take away restaurants with dishes like this. Once there and never again

Quick, good price and delicious!

Delicious lunch at Royal Panda Restaurant! The buffet was delicious and varied. The price performance ratio is very good. A place I recommend to anyone looking for an enjoyable meal! PS: The owner is very friendly.

We are regular visitors to Royal Panda and can't get enough of it! We definitely go there twice a week and think the buffet concept is great and very tasty. We also really appreciate the very nice and loving staff. Keep it up :)

Excellent and authentic food, also a great buffet at lunchtime (5 francs cheaper for students)

The service is amazing. I by mistake ordered the wrong beef and the owner / manager was kind enough to get me the dish I wanted and at the same time offered the dish I had ordered wrongly and dint charge me for it . I have been ordering and also dining at the restaurant regularly and love their food and awesome service. Every time I have visited with family or friends we have enjoyed.

Top for every occasion. Price-performance unbeatable!

Probably the best authentic Asian food served in Switzerland. Top quality at a top price.

The food was really delicious, we loved it and surely will visit again!!

I really liked the place and it wasn't unfulfilling like I know it from other places. The service was professional and he was very friendly. The food wasn't bad but the dishes weren't seasoned enough for my taste but my partner liked her food.

Excellent lunch buffet, large selection, fresh Asian cuisine and a very friendly service team. Price / offer: Very good! Overall Rating: Excellent! Ueli B.

This Chinese restaurant impresses with its lavish decor and authentic, flavorful dishes. A perfect blend of opulence and deliciousness. Highly recommended.

Lovely fish, great spice and nice tea. We’ll be back

The best Chinese food I ever had in Europe!!!! Original taste, not adapted at all.

One of the best Chinese food experiences in Zurich. The lunch buffet is unbeatable!

The food was small and unpalatable. My mouth was dry after eating because of too much MSG and salt. The service was too friendly. For almost 50 yuan per person, you can get slapped by the landlady and get choked. I suggest friends who are living a happy life to come and have some fun.

Very authentic Chinese food! My (rather picky) Chinese girlfriend loves it!

Excellent food, very pleasant servers. I absolutely recommend!!

When we went, the aunt asked us to sit at a table, and then another waiter actually said to the aunt, "Do they have to sit here?" (They were referring to us), and we felt deeply offended.

Very fresh and authentic Sichuan cuisine. Delightful spices, new tastes, attentive service. A 👍 for the Vegi DimSum!

Wonderful service and local Chinese food, if you wanna the original flavor of Sichuan , it’s a better choice.

During the week for lunch there is a fine buffet "all you can eat", I'll go again!

It is overpriced considering the quality of the dishes (about 30CHF). Portions are large-ish. Also charged 6.5 for tap water. To put it nicely, it is a bit different than the pictures.

10 minutes walk from Stadelhofen train station It's easier to find on the corner of the road. Green papaya salad: It’s a no-brainer. If you don’t want to eat something too greasy, you can order it. Spicy Hotpot: The shrimps are larger but slightly oily Stir-fried yellow beef: Recommended! It's delicious, but only two lotus leaf pancakes are too little. Apero Spritz: A huge one! It’s the most generous portion of any store I’ve ever ordered in Switzerland, and the price is 12chf a cup. ————— The grilled fish is too salty! You must add soup to continue to eat.

Very friendly service and excellent food. We would like to come again! My favorite: fried pointed cabbage. And for the kids: fried rice with chicken.

very good taste，we come over very often and recommend it so much

Very good! Very economical and affordable. There are many types of buffets

We had the lunch buffet. The food is good but a bit generic. The owner and the employees are friendly, but also a bit overzealous, which makes the place uneasy. The furniture looks like it's from the middle of the last century.

When it first opened, I had it twice with a discount. Let’s just say it had no taste at all. I only remember that the boiled fish was completely tasteless.

Yesterday we were invited to this restaurant for dinner. The atmosphere was very warm and cozy. The food was very tasty and healthy. We recommend this restaurant to anyone who values ​​quality and health. And thank you for the wonderful service.

Generous buffet, friendly staff, all perfect!

Having hot food during cold weather is awesome. Coupled with friendly boss and staff this restaurant serves authentic and delicious Chinese dishes. Thank you

how delicious it is here! I haven't left yet, but I already want to come back here!!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Superb service; some dishes excellent; frequented by many Chinese customers - always a good sign. Ambience - a little crowded, and food comes in huge bowls that over-fill the small tables instantly.

I can absolutely recommend this restaurant for both lunch (buffet) and dinner. Great food, fair prices and very helpful owners/staff.

Very good food and large selection. They draw very generously. Price-performance ratio is top.

I tried the lunch buffet at Royal Panda in Zurich today and I absolutely love it! The food is exquisite and authentically Asian, with a variety of delicious dishes. The buffet offered a wide selection of fresh and delicious dishes that pampered my taste buds. The atmosphere in the restaurant is cozy and inviting, and the service was excellent. I was particularly impressed by the variety of dishes they offer and the quality of the ingredients. The staff were friendly and attentive, making my visit a thoroughly enjoyable experience. I can highly recommend Royal Panda! Five stars for the great food, excellent service and pleasant atmosphere. If you want to enjoy authentic Asian cuisine in Zurich, this is definitely the place!

The food is super delicious and the staff is incredibly nice. 5.- CHF student discount on take away! It's worth going there.

The service before is better, unfortunately this time the waitress wasn't so friendly. The service before is better, this time the waitress wasn't so friendly. The amount of food is also less than before

Always a pleasure to eat here. Athentic and excellent service!

Great lunch, good price and fresh.

Very friendly service, tasty and cheap, perfect for students

We ordered food via Smood. When we clicked on Chicken Sweet and Sour we assumed that there will be plain rice with it but unfortunately there was not. After complaining with Smood, that they did not bring us the full order we found out, that it actually was correct because you have to get the rice separately in the order. Please add rice to your menues or at least add a note that there is no rice included. It was a really bad experiance for us as a family with 2 young kids and we had to make our own rice in the end. Food was nice in the end tho.

Incredibly expensive for what you get (~30CHF for meat and rice and 5CHF for tap water), though the portions are big. But the food really wasn't anything special. The restaurant is also incredibly noisy because the waiters seem so hectic and always in a rush.

We happened to be there for lunch today and were thrilled. A great buffet with a large selection, we tried everything and everything tasted great! (For 22.50 a discretion, you can't say anything about that) Definitely coming back.

Best Chinese restaurant in Zurich

Best Chinese restaurant in town (also accordingly to my Chinese friends)! The owner is very knowledgeable about gluten free (I’m celiacs). It’s one of our favorite restaurants in Zürich. Super recommended.

The fried fish is so so delicious!!!!!

Super nice boss and his wife! They offer us a 10% off because their restaurant has been opened for one year! Enjoyed the original Chinese flavour in Zurich! The hotpot is good for winter dinning

Super tasty food and all you can eat 😍 with fruits included! 🤗

Probably the best Asian buffet in town

Wow beautiful and also beautiful food.

If you like spicy food, we recommend grilled fish and Maoxuewang

This is the best Chinese food restaurant in Zurich which I am willing to come here for dinner with Uber.

Great restaurant with very fair prices.

Amazing and authentic Chinese restaurant! We made a reservation beforehand which turned out to be the right choice. Every single table was booked! We ate our meal surrounded by the sounds of idle Chinese chattering and the sizzling of meats and vegetables. The meat was tender and flavourful while the vegetables were able to absorb all the spices and juices! The service was friendly and our food was made very fast! I think we had a waiting time of about 10 minutes for our shared dish with an appetizer. The atmosphere is very idyllic, cute and tasteful. But what really speaks for this place, meaning I’m not alone in my opinion, were the many, many Chinese and Asian customers, who seem to flock to the tasty food like busy bees to flowers. Dining here was a wonderful experience!

The first truly authentic Chinese restaurant I've been to. The atmosphere is cute and the staff is very friendly and quick. The food was absolutely delicious and wonderfully prepared. We had the beef with Chinese broccoli and a recommendation from the house - the meat was tender, the vegetables crunchy. Heavenly together. Highly Recommended. We'd love to come back.

I can highly recommend the lunch buffet. Price/performance is very good. Friendly staff.

Completely blown away by the exceptional quality of their fish. Each bite was an explosion of delicate and fresh flavors, simply divine. The service was impeccable, the atmosphere warm and welcoming. A 5 star rating without hesitation!

This has quickly become my favorite restaurant. The staff is very kind and passionate in how they do things. This is an amazing place to come for a special occasion or just a quick lunch, the food is so delicious and the prices are fair. Well done!

We love it, we went to celebrate my husband's birthday. The food was excellent and abundant, the service was great, they sang happy birthday to my husband and they are very friendly! I recommend booking! Keep in that way!

I live nearby, went for dinner with a friend. Very friendly service and food was served very fast, I would say it is really authentic Chinese food!

Excellent cuisine, very friendly staff. Dishes are really tasty and well seasoned. Overall, highly recommended.

Very delicious, would recommend

Really delicious food and we had a great time. It’s the most authentic Chinese food in town.

Very good service and really good food. We'd love to come back.

A restaurant with delicious food and a very friendly staff. Thanks for your hospitality! 👏

I really wanted to love this place after reading the great reviews but I left underwhelmed. My husband had the beef Szechuan beef which was lovely, very tender. He also has the Wonton soup which was great. The dumplings were very tasty. Sadly everything I ordered was not so great. The crispy duck was ok, over done or just not fresh. Skin was not really crispy. The egg fried rice was ok. The dumplings with pork and prawns also were nowhere near as good as the ones in the soup. The waiter was not very friendly but was not incompetent. It isn’t fine dining so that didn’t really bother me. All in all it was ok. My husbands meal significantly better than mine but for a Chinese restaurant I would have expected the duck to be exceptional.

Delicious, very authentic Chinese food

Very cool lunch menu :) all you can eat!!

Absolutely amazing food, the sweetest service and just a great overall experience 10/10 :) will come again!

Super tasty authentic Chinese cuisine, generous portions, friendly service - we'll be back!

The ceiling of Chinese food in Zurich, grilled fish is a must-try!

Let me start by saying that the food is excellent. Large portions, full of flavour and high quality products. The owner / server was very nice. Just the price. My god, the price. We ordered water, dumplings, main dishes for all and a desert. We paid 55 CHF per person. It's not a Michelin star restaurant, the place is nice but nothing special and the location is right on a noisy street. Yes, it's Zurich and prices are high (to a tourist) but still. Again, the food was very very good. For a more modest price, I would definitely go there more while staying in town.

very good experience in Royal panda！！ for the food i have nothing to say, really really authentic! I try a lot Chinese restaurants in Europe, this one is the best! Also, the waiter is very nice and friendly！

Extremely unprofessional cooking. we 100% got food poisoned by the Gebratene Pilze mit Kaiserschoten, fried mushrooms with snow peas. Their dishes are the only thing we had that night. Got serious stomach flu and vomited all night and the next day. Had tested at the hospital and reported to Swissmedic and Kanton authorities. Just hope no one will be suffered from the pain we had went through.

The food was really bad! Cold and it has a hair

I had the pleasure of dining at this Chinese restaurant and it was an exceptional experience! The food was not only incredibly delicious but also authentically prepared, bringing a true taste of China to my plate. Each dish was a masterpiece in terms of both flavor and presentation, showcasing the skill and care put into every detail. The service was flawless, making me feel welcome and attended to throughout my visit. The restaurant's convenient location was the cherry on top. I'm already looking forward to returning to enjoy more of their fantastic cuisine!
