OUR MISSION

Fresh food. Honest ingredients. Made by hand.

Fresh & healthy is at the heart of every meal we make. We want everyday Chinese food to feel as good as it tastes: thoughtfully chosen ingredients, handmade preparation and seasoning that lets the ingredients speak.

Freshness comes first.

From breakfast to noodles and stir-fries, fresh, healthy preparation guides the food we bring to your table.

Handmade, not hurried.

Our steamed bao and pan-fried bao are made entirely by hand, with freshness and healthy eating in mind. Our beef noodles are handmade and freshly pulled too.

Good ingredients. Gentle seasoning.

We choose good-quality ingredients, so we do not need heavy seasoning to make them shine. Enough to bring the flavours together, while keeping the ingredients’ own character.

THE STORY BEHIND THE STEAM

From data science
to a bowl of
something familiar.

AiPanda’s story began with studying data science at UCL, and found its way to a Chinese restaurant in London.

We want to bring familiar Chinese flavours into everyday London life: baozi, Hu La Tang and congee to start the morning; freshly hand-pulled beef noodles, pan-fried bao and chef-cooked stir-fries from noon.

“Ai” sounds like 爱, the Chinese word for love. For us, that love lives in a bowl of hot soup, a bao, and every meal we take the time to prepare with care.

If you grew up with Chinese food, we hope you’ll find something familiar. If it’s your first taste, we hope to introduce you to the rich flavours of China’s everyday cooking.
