A room that helps make the night feel right
Date night should not feel stiff or boring. Panda sits in the middle. The lighting is low, the music has energy, and the room feels warm without being too much.
It works for a first date, a fifth date, or a weeknight when you just want to go somewhere that feels good.
Dinner and drinks under one roof
Start with a cocktail, order food when you are ready, and stay for one more round before you go.
A real kitchen, not an afterthought
Dumplings, bao, Beijing Chicken, Black Pepper Beef, Shanghai Salmon, noodles — there is enough on the Food Menu to share and try a few things.
Cocktails that set the mood
Lychee Martini, Passion Fruit Martini, NY Sidecar, plus wine and beer. Browse the Drinks Menu before you go or take your time with it at the table.
Or start with happy hour
Come early and start at the bar. See the Happy Hour Menu for cocktails, snacks, beer, and wine before dinner.
The kind of date night you are actually planning
Not every date night looks the same. Panda works for most of them.
The first date
Easy reservation, low-pressure setting, and a menu with enough to talk about so the night does not feel awkward.
The casual weeknight
You do not want to cook. You also do not want a boring table for two. Come in on a Tuesday or Wednesday and keep it easy.
Friday or Saturday plans
Weekend hours give you time to settle in. Book a later table, order cocktails, and enjoy the room.
Dinner and drinks, no overthinking
One place, one plan, and no need to move to a second spot.
Inside the room
The little things that make a date night feel like a date night.
