Date Night in Harlem: How to Plan the Whole Evening

Date Night in Harlem: How to Plan the Whole Evening

Planning a date night in Harlem? At Panda Harlem, you can have modern Chinese dinner and cocktails at 2331 12th Avenue in West Harlem. Start by choosing a dinner time, then decide whether you want to visit the bar as well.

Choose your day and dinner time

Panda opens at 5 PM Tuesday–Friday and 3 PM Saturday–Sunday. It closes at midnight Tuesday–Thursday and Sunday, and at 1 AM Friday–Saturday. The restaurant is closed Mondays.

For a weekday dinner, check Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday availability on OpenTable. Friday and Saturday nights have a live DJ. Choose the evening that suits your plans; published opening hours do not guarantee a particular table time.

Keep happy hour and dinner plans separate

Happy hour is at the bar only, all night Tuesday–Thursday and Friday 5–7 PM. Dining-room tables use the regular menus. If you want a drink before dinner, plan that separately from your table reservation.

Look at the menu together

The Food Menu includes Oxtail Dumplings finished with gruyere, Chicken Bao Buns with fried chicken breast, spicy aioli and apple, and larger dishes such as Black Pepper Beef and Shanghai Salmon. Browse it together and choose dishes you both want to try.

The Drinks Menu lists cocktails, frozen drinks, wine and beer. Use the current menus to check descriptions and prices before your visit. For more about dinner and the setting, see date night at Panda.

Plan your arrival

Panda Harlem is at 2331 12th Avenue, New York, NY 10027. The West Harlem location page has the address, hours and directions link. For questions about a late arrival or a particular arrangement, call (347) 905-4192.

Reserve dinner or inquire about a celebration

For a regular dinner table of 1–9 guests, check dinner availability on OpenTable.
