Fat Panda

Very helpful server/owner with a slightly grumpy resting face..? I am not Scottish & found what he said/his Sino-Celt accent slightly difficult to catch fully. But I noticed that the local customers had no problems at all… I’ll be reviewing a hearing test centre soon, I suppose… Perfectly cooked takeaway fare, which was exactly what we fancied that evening. Portions are some 50% larger than ‘down south’?

We were staying at a B&B in Portree on the Isle of Skye on a Sunday night while on a 2 day tour, went into town and found restaurants were either all booked up or closed. By chance we found the Fat Panda Chinese takeaway was open and ordered our dinner there to take back to the B&B to eat. The food order was taken quickly, and food prepared for us also quickly. Back at the B&B I found Fat Panda had made the best Kung Pao Chicken I ever had (and I've eaten more than my share of Kung Pao) and my wife's noodle soup was also very good. Even if you can get into one of the Portree restaurants, consider an excellent Chinese meal from Fat Panda.

Best Chinese food in Portree. Kung Pao has cashews — but it should have peanuts as tradition dictates. And the sauce is more like ketchup which is hardly a flavor that is traditionally Chinese. Also no chopsticks 🥢. Guess the Chinese food in Scotland is a bit less Chinese and more….Scottish? 🤷‍♂️ Super fast service!

This is our second time in Skye and this is the second time we've ordered from the Fat Panda. The food is good and the portions were very fair. The food was very tasty and much needed after a long day of walking and exploring. We ordered online for a pick up, as this allowed to sit in a pub whilst our food was being prepared. You can pay by card, but the value of your order must be £15+.
