Golden Panda, nestled in the heart of Tiverton, is a delightful Chinese restaurant that has garnered a loyal following for its exceptional dining experience. Customers rave about the midweek buffet, which is actually an all-you-can-eat affair with freshly prepared dishes made to order. Diners appreciate the swift service, even during busy periods, as highlighted by Joshua Cullum's experience with the sizzling beef in black bean—an excellent choice that showcased the quality and flavor the restaurant is known for.

The ambiance is charming, albeit slightly outdated, providing a cozy family-run vibe that adds to its appeal. Many patrons, like Dean Stewardson and Barbara Green, rave about the attentive and friendly staff, making each visit feel special. The food itself is consistently described as fresh, tasty, and varied, with many recommending the eat-all-you-want option as a fantastic value.

While there are minor critiques, such as the temperature of the restaurant and drink pricing, these do little to overshadow the overall experience. Golden Panda is not just a restaurant; it's a gem where delicious food, inviting service, and a warm atmosphere come together. A must-visit for anyone craving authentic Chinese fare!

Went for the midweek buffet for 23. It is not a buffet, it's all you can eat but they cook it fresh from order. I was worried as there was a large party (10) that ordered just before us, so thought we would be waiting for ages, but the food came out in good time and the quality was superb. We ordered lots of starters and they were all fresh and super tasty. Had the sizzling beef in black bean as one of the mains and that was excellent. Service was great throughout, very friendly and attentive, had a family run vibe. Excellent value for money. Little bit dated interior and could do with the radiators turned up a touch, but apart from that faultless. Can't wait to return. Would absolutely recommend.

Quiet little restaurant, lovely service and delicious food! Standard prices for a takeaway but eating in means it was fresh and hot.

One of our favourite places to dine out. The food is freshly cooked, tasty, and varied. Part of the week they have an eat all you want menu (as long as you eat what's on your plate). My plate has always been cleared as the food is too good to leave. The staff are friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. Recommend to anyone.

I like the panda,food was great you can order as much as you like for a set buffet price,service was great staff very cheerful which makes a change now a days,on the down side,it was rather cold in there as had no heating on and a can of coke was 3.But apart from that spent a pleasant evening in there.

Visited twice during our recent stay in Tiverton and we really enjoyed the meals we had. Food was excellent and the service was prompt on both visits. .
