Cantonese Morning Tea experience with family friends. I recommend allowing others to order for you. Wonderful experience to be hosted and educated about the customs and culture of food. I experienced this place twice. Once with no real guide and once with a family friend...who shepherded us through the experience. With a good guide, it is definitely worth it.More

Utterly disappointed with the quality of dim sum served here. Portions are large but the taste wise is inferior to dim sum served in Hong Kong, Singapore, Service is iffy depending on the staff you meet. One server told us to finish a small dish...of chilli sauce before asking for another for four of us. You have to wave wildly to get their attention.More

It's one of the best restaurant in Guangzhou and was rated 5 star by China National restaurant association. Dimsum and others Cantonese cuisine is the popular dishes here. This is a huge restaurant which has a spectacular view of a small lake built in the...middle of the restaurant. There is one section where you can even dine on the lake while enjoying the food. Although I did not try on their dimsum this time because I pick the Cantonese dish, I will definitely come back to try their dimsum. On the menu side, English is limited but you can choose base on the pics on their menu.More

Good luck since no one speaks english. But the staff is friendly. Excellent food. Good tea. They have a dry goods convenience shop just adjacent to the restaurant.

As I said above, this place serves the best char siew I have ever tasted. Just the right amount of lean and fatty meat and the sauce is just heavenly. This place serves good dim sum and other dinner dishes which are great as well....But you have got to try the char siew. The restaurant is really huge and is well decorated. No word can describe the decoration. You just got to come and see for yourself.More

We had our worst ever restaurant experience here. Sticky rice wrapped in lotus leaf, xiaomai with a shrimp on top, stir-fried choy-sum leafy greens, and something else we tried our best not to recall, were all exceptionally lacking in taste, freshness, presentation, and texture. To...deal with the trauma of our misfortune to come here for lunch, we took a taxi immediately to DinTaiFung where as usual we were greeted by smiling polite young servers dressed in crispy white linens and a promise for decently good meal.More

We were visiting Guangzhou for a few days. My Mom was looking for authentic Cantonese food. We were recommended by locals to this restaurant who has a long history. We ordered Dim Sum dishes which did not disappoint. The roast goose was delicious too.

Panxi restaurant is located in the Lanxi district and this very popular restaurant has a beautiful courtyard with private rooms available. The food is traditional Cantonese style and everything we ordered was great. The dinner menu is quite extensive and has English and pictures so...it’s very easy for foreigners to order. The service is average at best. You may have to flag a server down to grab their attention, or ask a few times for something you want. But this is not unusual for this kind of establishment. The cost is a little higher than the average restaurant in Guangzhou. Overall we were very pleased with our experience at PanXi and would recommend it.More

Service at Chinese restaurants cannot be judged by Western standards. The most important thing to Chinese is the quality of the food and here I give PanXi high marks. Even a Chinese standard dish like (Cha siu pork) barbecued pork had a flavor unlike any...I had ever tasted before. The pigeon was also the best I have ever had. The prices here are high, higher than I have ever seen at a Chinese restaurant, but if you want to splurge for some really great food in a Chinese garden setting, you will not be disappointed.More

Can't expect service here since the prices are too reasonable to have any decent service. Food is very alright considering price point.

Overall the food tasted OK. The BBQ Goose was good, outside of that the rest of the food was OK. Nothing to brag about. The service was terrible, it took forever to get an order and we were only 4 tables in a 20 tables...building. Getting a cold beer was an undertaking. Good thing that I had a bottle opener with me, if not it will have taken another 20 minutes to get the beer open.More

Really nice setting - in an authentic banquet hall with some lovely gardens. The food was lovely, and very cheap. Worth a visit for sure. The menu was only in Chinese, so we had to guess what to order by the pictures...

I'm afraid metro is not available at that area. I would suggest you to take a cab. Cheers

I think the nearest station is Zhongshanba. From there it’s about 20 minutes walk.
