New Panda Ballymena

Welcome to New Panda...



Seventeen years ago, Alan Fung, a Master Chef from Hong Kong emigrated to Northern Ireland with a dream. He had a vision to share his experience, expertise and knowledge of preparing Asian food.

His Ballymena restaurant gave him the opportunity to share his talent and passion for cooking first class Chinese dishes. This early success led Alan to moving to Belfast and working with Red Panda. He then went to be Executive Chef for his family business, Zen Japanese (Belfast) and the GAZE group that had customers returning again and again to enjoy the mouth watering menus available at these restaurants.

Alan never forgot that Ballymena people gace him that first chance; he wants to repay them for their loyalty by bringing his more modern approach to Asian cuisine to Ballymena's New Panda. Our menu captures Alan at his best and truly represents the full scale of his talents.
