Panda Garden

About Panda Garden

Panda Garden is an all-you-can-eat buffet restaurant on Holmeside, one of the main streets in Sunderland city centre and a short walk from the Park Lane bus and Metro interchange. The buffet format means diners pay a set price and help themselves from a spread of hot dishes, which suits groups with mixed tastes, families with children and anyone who prefers to try a little of everything.

The restaurant took part in Sunderland Restaurant Week in September 2026. Its central location makes it convenient for shoppers and for people heading to an evening out in town. Panda Garden does not run its own website at the time of writing, so prices, opening times and any themed or seasonal buffets are best checked on its Instagram account before visiting. Buffet prices usually differ between lunchtime, evenings and weekends, so it is worth confirming which applies to your visit.
