  I came here for lunch with my dad because we both had a dumpling craving and this place seemed cute.
  The panda decor inside is a little bit cheesy but it’s a cosy, comfortable place to sit for a meal.
  We got a plate of dumplings and a noodle dish to share. The dumplings were nice but the noodles were too greasy and a bit bland.
  The staff were friendly and and the food came out quickly so that was a plus.
  Overall nothing special but a good quick lunch spot.

  Last Saturday, we decided to venture to Elsternwick to satisfy our dumpling whim at Panda Mama.

  Their steamed Peking pork dumplings faired well: tasty fillings with good skin density and skin to filling ratios.

  The Prawn and Pork Wontons in Chilli Oil, however, were average. Whilst the fillings were decent, the chilli oil (literally) that came with the dish was rather bland, and some parts of the wonton skins tasted a little doughy. It was only upon adding some of the provided table (chunkier and more seasoned) chilli oil that the dish was somewhat redeemed.

  We also shared a portion of chicken wings and XO fried rice. The wings werent too bad, but the fried rice was my favourite out of the two. I could taste a good hint of seafood exuding from the XO sauce that permeated through the rice, which in itself had good wok-heat!

  The service we received from Mama herself was pleasant and accommodating.
