Luv d food....been dere so many times nd each time I am amazed dat it tastes more delicious tgan last time. Definitely recommend it to others. Worth every penny �����
Delicious food especially Cumin Beef, fried Rice, & the cabbage dish was to die for. Loved the warehouse setting. Will definitely go back ��
It's great to eat at a Chinese restaurant that serves food that isn't Cantonese in influence. I particularly enjoy the different spice combinations that embody Hunanese flavours - plenty of chilli, without overpowering the other ingredients, and the Cumin Beef in particular. My only disappointment is that the Mao's Braised Pork was sold out by the time we arrived at 7.30pm on a Saturday; this only means we have to go back.
great food, great night highly recommend
look forward to more chilli
Excellent food and modern, trendy restaurant with friendly service. We really enjoyed our lunch.
But beware, it is called Chilli Panda and there are lots of chillies 🌶 indeed! The right choice if you like it hot.
Visitor to Perth. This Restaurant was highly recommended. Really lovely food. Loved it. Will definitely return on our next visit to WA.
If you love eating spicy food, you won’t be disappointed.
Loved the styling of the restaurant, a very Melbournesqe feel and food was light, fresh and delicious. Awesome - will definitely be back.
Delicious, quick, lovely staff, can't wait to go back �
FANTASTIC Yunnan-style Chinese food, prompt service, BYOB; if I lived in Perth, I'd be back for sure!

If you are looking for a touch of spice in your life, then you should look no further than Chilli Panda, in Newcastle Street, the home in Perth of the spicy cuisine of Hunan – the birthplace of Chairman Mao, and particularly well known for the extensive use of chill, garlic and shallots. It has a spare fit out – untreated concrete walls, adorned with stylised Chinese prints, wooden screens with meld mesh inserts, and polished concrete floors.
Like what the name of the restaurant suggest, the food here is plenty o spicy! So u have been warned! But don’t be scared, you can adjust the level of spiciness and of course they do sell some non-spicy items. Despite not good at handling super spicy food (i ordered lower level of spiciness of course) the food here is really good! i even enjoyed their brusselsprout! There is plenty to enjoy here. I also like the ambiance, the large table, the large space - you totally would not expect this as the store might seem to be small from the outside!
The food at Chilli Panda is so wonderfully, awesomely, ring-of-fire spicy that it keeps you going back for more. My faves are the hunan style cold noodles, stirfried green beans with dry chilli, stirfried pork with chilli and fried egg, and the salted fish black bean fried rice. As I write this, my mouth has started watering.
The reason they're not getting five stars is because it's always so cold in there (even while your mouth is burning so good), and the hotpot chicken I ordered last time I visited was so tough, so dry and so awful.
The fir chicken is the best ever, so tender. If you like pork instestines, this is only place you need to try in Perth. Fantastic cauliflower with dry chilli. You will need to find the restaurant very carefully, the sign is too small, easy miss.
It should be the most delicious Chinese restaurant in western Australia. After ordering the spareribs bean skin pot, the taste is very authentic and rich. What a surprise!
My Chinese friend told me that this is one of the best authentic chinese (Szechuan) food in Perth.
And I wasn't disappointed by the food and the service.
The price was reasonable yet the portion was adequate.
The food is strong in pepper and cumin hence it maybe too much for some people.
Will I come back here? Definitely
Chilli panda's food is much similar to the Hunan cuisine, the food is real spicy but also the most delicious food to the chili lover!!!!!!!!
Tasty and authentic Chinese Szechuan food. The dishes they serve are usually oily and spicy, if you are seeking something healthy (less oil, light, gluten free etc.) this restaurant might not be your best option.
I really like coming here for dinner. They have a generous menu and the food is always flavourful. The beef is tender and the portions are decent. There are a few non spicy options available making it suitable for those who can't handle the spice as well. The decor is unique with it's picnic tables and industrial style open kitchen. The smells remind me of the food in China.
Came here to use a $25 for $50 worth of food Groupon deal. The food here did not disappoint me and I’m not sure why the ratings are so low. I really like spicy food so I was looking forward to this place. We got three dishes between two, the famous steamed chicken and chilli sauce aka saliva chicken, stir fried green beans with minced pork and pan fried potatoes with pork. Chicken was tender and the sauce gave it a nice spicy kick - really liked this dish. I liked the green beans with chilli as it was stir fried well but it felt quite greasy and salty after a while. Same with the pan fried potatoes, they were very tasty but the dish was oily in general. Food was served extremely quickly within 5 min. The deal made it really worth it and I’m considering buying another deal to go back again. Worth a try if you love spicy Chinese food.
Food was ok. the place looks nice. but will never go back. staff wasn't that friendly. they pretend like its a charity place and we eat free. if you like spicy food its the place. they need to improve the customer service.
Was here last night for a casual evening, conversations and some Asian food. This place did not fail to impress.
The ambience is casual. The food is delicious and the seating, comfortable. It looks like a tiny place that's easy to miss from the front but we were impressed with how massive the place was once you entered the restaurant. We had the crispy fish, beans and pork mince and the pork ribs.. All dishes were yummy.. The service needs some improvement cos it took a while to get the attention of a staff to place an order.
Will definitely come back to this place again!
1.The food is really tasty,highly recommend!!
2.I love the rice, good quality rice!
3.price is acceptable.
4.BYO is acceptable as well!
5.will come back for sure!!
6.spicy spicy spicy .if you like chilli. Will be your best experience……
Food here is really spicy but quite good if you like spicy food. Service is a bit slow and prices were quite high. Serving size was good. Used a voucher so worked out to be a reasonable price.
We really enjoyed the spicy food here! Authentic high quality food. Great to have a different cuisine in Perth. Will definitely recommend friends and come back again for a meal.
Very good authentic hunannese food with friendly service. A refreshing change to the typical szechuan cuisine that i usually go for. Would return for sure to try out other dishes.
Genuin Chinese Hunan food, so yummy! Enjoy the spicy and full of flavours. Beautiful design and good environment. Enjoy the time with friends
Funky deco, great food and great service! Tried the braised beef and the stewed tripe with pickle radish. Love the stewed tripe, can’t stop eating it! Highly recommend this restaurant to all chilli lovers!
Really enjoyed the meal today!!! The food is amazing, If you like spicy food, this restaurant should be your good choice😊 I want to try other dishes next time😁
I like the deco of the place, the food are very authentic hu nan Chinese food, the only thing I wanna say is the waiter didn't provide a very good service. He didn't appologize for not having one pork dish on the menu when ordering, only mentioned when we were waiting for food.
Had a wonderful meal tonight at chilli panda! The goat hotpot was absolutely perfect for a cold and rainy night. Sweet and sour pork ribs, spicy cumin beef and green beans with pork mince were outstanding too! Dishes weren't overly spicy, very authentic and throughly enjoyable :) great service and ambiance too! Do yourself a favor and visit this place! Highly recommended!
Amazing Chinese food!! We had the steamed pork mince which was infused with lychees and plums - absolutely delicious. We also had the cabbage in vinegar, the special fried rice and the steamed eggs. I can't tolerate spicy food and despite the chilli in some dishes, I didn't find it over powering. The tastes were so authentic and I loved every bite! Thanks for a great food experience !!
Nice authentic Chinese food! Lots of the dishes are slightly spicy but not overwhelming to my taste. Cumin beef and green beans are my favourites!
The best chilly Chinese food in Perth! a new restaurant, so it is relatively clean. I came from Hunan province,China. The food here is exactly the same with hometown! Must try these if you love spicy Chinese food.
If you like spicy Chinese food without numbing szechuan pepper flavour hunan Chinese is the way forwards. Here you get straight chilli flavours with a dash of cumin.
We loved the bamboo industrial ambience the yummy cumin beef, chilli squid stir fry and steamed rice. Service was fabulous.
I was curious to try Chilli Panda after reading the review by The Sunday Times and also hearing about this place from my colleagues. It was nice and quiet when we arrived. The lovely waitress recommended the Spicy Cumin Beef and the Spicy Cauliflower. My darling liked the cumin beef but the cauliflower was too spicy for him. He is such a woose. I find the dishes reasonably good and the portions huge. My only gripe is that they are a bit oily. But I heard Hunan cuisine is like that. I love the deco! Finally, Chinese restaurants no longer look tired and dowdy.
Dinning at Chilli Panda is a young Chinese ambition for Chillies.
The deco is like your camp site with wooden long table and long bench. The decoration of the place is refreshing.
We ordered the one of the cold dish, preserved egg cook chilli with vinegar and garlic.
As for hot dishes or mains we ordered the smoked beef with coriander and diced chicken in claypot with chillies.
The dishes are infused with chilli and chilli everywhere I can see. It was spicy but it’s not overly spicy until you can’t taste the food. I will strongly recommend the smoked beef with coriander. As for the diced chicken in claypot with chillies it was good but I prefer the chicken is boneless instead of bits of the bones in the chicken.
I would return and try other dishes that they have on offer.
As a Chonqinger, I gave this place my highly recommendation. Interior design is outstanding, plates and bowls are out of the ordinary. Mushroom meatball soup and double fried pork belly are really authentic. I guess the chief is from Sichuan with his spicy temper. Maybe be more patient to waiters? The dish is really hot, maybe provide the waiters some plastic plates to put the dish on?
Over all, it's a surprise to find such a good Sichuan style restaurant in Perth.
New funky restaurant in the already crowded eatery precinct of Newcastle street.
Funky music in a modern seating. Food is hot! So not one for those that can't handle chilli!
Friendly, clean and spacious, not your average Chinese joint. We had the cheese okonomiyaki, duck curry with lychees, and squid tentacles. All were delicious! I drank the sake tasting - nice idea for something more novel. Will be back!
Absolutely love this place. Its handy its so close to our office. We ordered food with a lot of chilli but it wasn't too spicy. Don't be put off by the chilli. The flavours were excellent and its so nice to be able to order some different dishes at a Chinese restaurant in Northbridge. So many restaurants pretty much have the same menu! Will be back many times!
Love love love this place!! I've been here twice now. The decor is not your stereotypical Chinese restaurant, it's modern, clean and friendly. The first visit we ordered the sweet & sour pork spare ribs, the fried salted grouper & the stir fried beans w/ pork mince. Amazing!! We enjoyed all 3. The pork spare ribs were not as glutinous and sticky compared to other restaurants. Very fresh. The beans were delicious & freshly made! And the fish had a beautiful flavour. The owner is also a sweet young lady and remembered me the second time around. Would definitely recommend! I will be coming back again & again.
I really love the design of the Resturaut ! Definitely an upgrade comparing with other Chinese restaurant out there in Perth . 5 stars for their effort on the design !! However I would say the food is way too spicy for majority of the customers. I understand that's their speciality and authentic flavour, but will really be good if they have options like " mild, normal , extra hot" to choose from.
omg. wow. this place doesn't look or feel like a Chinese restaurant at all 👲🏽㊙️㊗️ love the interior style so much ! industrial vibes with bursts of colour 👌🏻 not only is the interior amazing but so is the food. as the name suggests, the food is super spicy, even more than kong fu kitchen down the street. the staff didn't ask how spicy we wanted our food, so beware if you don't like food too spicy, you should let them know. we ordered 2 bowls of noodles, a pork and egg one and a beef stew noodles. both were really yummy. also had a milk tea. definitely new favourite Chinese restaurant 💯💯
Our favourite place to have Yunan dishes. Big menu with both spicy and non spicy dishes. Attentive staffs, huge portion and fair prices. Would definitely go back!
Friendly but busy staff. Niice food but a bit too greasy. Spicy not too much, good for non 湖南 people.
Well nice food
Also order beef cooked in oyster oil with rice , we love it , sorry forgot to take a photo
But the noodle in peanut sauce is way too dry and that’s the only food we don’t like it .
good food overall although some dishes can take long to arrive. most of the kitchen staff do not wear masks and outside staff don’t wear masks properly which is a huge danger to everyone. however staff are nice with great manners
Friendly attentive staff, very helpful and patient with us changing from dine in to take away back to dine in etc .. Additionally -- neither customers or staff seemed bothered by the spluttering, watering eyes and mucus dripping nose of a big nosed white freak like me. I can only imagine how painful it would be to observe watching their beloved food be desecrated in such an unholy show of defilement -- they even provided take away containers! Would recommend
They didn’t lie about chilli. Loved it would go again. 🌶🌶🌶
