Very good 😊 - Edit
As the restaurant is always crowded, you have to give your name and wait your turn long enough to take a walk in downtown (Baixa).
Read moreVery tasty ramen 🍜, crispy tofu.
In my opinion, it could have more toppings, as it only has soy sprouts, coriander and nori.
Besides that, it was great food!

The vegan tofu ramen is amazing! - Edit
This is a great ramen place! The tofu is so good and the service is great too. The ramen was too spicy for my mom (for me it was perfect!) and the waiter noticed without us saying anything and replaced the dish with a non spicy one. Really recommended!

Great Ramen and Fried tofu! - Edit
The food is amazing. The vegan ramen is great and you can get extra pieces of battered and fried tofu on the side. They don’t take reservations or do takeaway and it’s popular. I went right when it opened for lunch twice and it’s packed from open to close. Great place!

My favorite noodles in the world - Edit
Every single time I go to Lisbon I go here and am blown away by this dish! It’s my favorite restaurant in Lisbon. The tofu is so good! I always have spice level 2 and it’s very spicy so beware.

Melhor rámen - Edit
O melhor rámen que já comi. Você deve ir com tempo para poder enfrentar uma fila enorme e sem expectativas de passar muito tempo dentro do espaço, pois não é proporcional para um longo jantar, mas se você procura apenas comer um ótimo rámen, o Panda é uma excelente escolha.
Read moreDica: Peça o tofu (que é o acompanhamento do vegan rámen) a parte, pois dentro fica mole e perde a qualidade.

Amazing vegan ramen - Edit
The vegan ramen with fried tofu is AMAZING! Even my omnivore friends loved it. Just make sure to specify that you want it vegan, so there is no egg added.

Small restaurant near Rossio Square. Serves vegan and vegetarian ramen. The food is absolutely marvelous. You can choose 5 levels of spiciness, be careful with that.

Óptimo ramen e entrada - Edit
Espaço com muita procura e com fila.
Read moreAmbiente simples mas organizado, serviço rápido.
Entrada - tofu frito e ramen muito bons, doses adequadas.
Não é um local que permita ficar por muito tempo, apenas o tempo da refeição.
Estilo cantina: simples e prático.
Decoração gira!
Pros: The vegan options, Portions , Very organized service, Simple but cool deco
Cons: Crowded, Queues, Not 100% vegan, Can`t stay for too long...

O panda que está a dançar nos ecrãs do Panda Cantina traduz a minha reação ao provar este maravilhoso ramen de tofu (com 2 pedaços extra de tofu).
Read moreO tofu por si, demolhado no molho sweet chili, é delicioso e crocante. Fica igualmente bom no ramen, cujo o caldo rico em sabor, amolece e acaba por lhe dar outra textura.
Espaço interessante e bem decorado, que apesar de pequeno, reflete o conceito do restaurante.
Recomendo!!

Incredible ramen - Edit
One of my favourite places to eat in Lisbon. They have a delicious tofu ramen which can be made vegan if you order it with no egg. Prices are also really affordable, the only downside is the queue which is sometimes very long as they don't take reservations.

Delicious - Edit
Loved the vegan ramen, just ask for tofu ramen with no egg. Honestly some of the best ramen I’ve ever had! Spice levels are 0-5, I got 1 and it was perfect for me (in Canada I’ll usually get “medium” spicy level). I can’t imagine how spicy level 5 would be!

😂 I had no idea what level so I said 3 and she helped me decide I’d like 1 and it was just the right amount of heat

Would be 5* if possible - Edit
First of all let's get something straight: Panda Cantina serves Chinese Ramen (lamian). It's not the same thing as Japanese Ramen, so it's unfair to compare both, they are simply different. Of course people can compare them, as they share some similarities, but they are different dishes.
Read moreNone of this matters though. Panda Cantina's Ramen is amazing. It's really really good. Also very simple: you just choose which type of Ramen you want out of 3: There's only one real option of course, the Vegan one, and make sure to ask for it to be Vegan, as we want no eggs on our Ramen.
Choose the hotness level (and be careful, I love spicy food but I normally ask for level 3... as level 4 I can bare with it but it's a bit too overpowering and level 5... I have never tried). And there you go. Sit and wait. You will get a bowl of very good Ramen.
Because waiting is boring (even if there it's always a small wait to eat... the big wait can be in the line to get in), you have the great option to also order their only Starter: Fried Tofu. And it's very good. It's essentially the same tofu they put in the Ramen bowl (you have 2, 4 or 6 pieces options).
This is it. Simple. Tasty. Amazing.
Fun fact: all of my non-vegan friends say that the Tofu one is actually their best Ramen. So why go for any other, huh?
Pros: Really good

Best ramen I've ever had - Edit
Their ramen with tofu is the really flavourful, the fried tofu was top notch. I'd give them a 5 stars if it was possible. You have to ask them to not add egg in order to make it vegan and you can choose to make it super spicy or not.
Read morePros: Affordable and flavourful , Ramen and vegan dessert, Lovely decoration
Cons: Often full so food will take a while to be ready , Cantine style, you have to sit next to strangers

One of my fav dishes ever! - Edit
I love panda cantina, their vegan option is only one (vegan ramen) but the fried tofus are soooo great! I always ask for extra tofus and it fills my stomach really well😄I always leave really happy with the vegan ramen bowl.
Read morePros: Amazinggg taste, Nice employees , Good price
Cons: You will probably need to wait/can’t go too late, Sells meat :(

Delicious ramen - Edit
I had their vegan ramen yesterday, and what can I say - all the former reviews are justified! Take the tofu ramen and don't forget to ask the vegan version (otherwise it is with an egg). You choose a level of spiciness between 0 and 5, I took 1 as and it was spicy.

Best vegan ramen I’ve had in Lisbon - Edit
I wish I’ve gone here before our last day! We went here for lunch at around 12:30 on a Monday, they open at 12 and it was already packed. No wonder, since it’s totally worth it!
Read moreYou order and pay at the entrance. If you order the tofu ramen without egg, it’s vegan (€8,50). You can order extra fried tofu pieces as sides. I’d recommend you to eat the fried tofu in the ramen first as they will get soggy quickly. The tofu is delicious! As well as the noodles and broth. You can choose your spice level (0-5), but be aware, it’s spicy! Level 1 is already quite spicy. The lemonade was also good. I also like the stainless steel cutlery they use. The place looks cute as well. 10/10 would recommend!
Pros: Cheap, Delicious, Big portions
Cons: You might have to wait in line since it’s packed
