The owners of the restaurant are very accommodating. I have been to this restaurant multiple times, and the food quality is consistently good. My favorite dish is the specialty “munggo” which reminds me of my mother's cooking. I appreciate that the owners are not solely focused on profits but also on sharing our culture. If you cannot decide between Mexican and Asian food, Filipino cuisine is the perfect choice as it offers the best of both worlds.
Food is amazing and the service is even better! It feels like home. This is the first Filipino restaurant that I have returned. I have been disappointed by multiple others but this one is different. I’ve eaten most of the menu and nothing has disappointed. The food is fresh and the flavors are on point. Fatima and Paul are welcoming and make sure your experience is fantastic.
Overall, this restaurant does not meet standards of cleanliness or value. It's menu options fail to cater to those seeking traditional Filipino flavors. Filipinos may find this restaurant lacking due its bland offerings; meanwhile those accustomed or expecting ample servings will also end up disappointed given each plate carries only modest amounts despite charging more by comparison . Upon observing closely during pickup time spent inside said eatery -- cleanliness leaves much desired outcome since equipment such as blades lay scattered carelessly close enough cashiers could easily grab them without hesitation should need arise plus giving impression organization isn't exactly priority number one under current management.
Food was delicious but a bit overpriced. I would eat there again but special occasion or dinner where you expect to pay more for a meal.

My wife is Filipino and doesn't get too many chances to dine out with her native food ... went to Branson and made side trip to Ozark for Purple Panda ... not a fancy building but good Filipino food and accommodating owners .. check hours on Facebook or web ... Thurs. To Sun. from what I saw ... can call ahead to see what from menu is available or ask about requests ...
Food was a little on the bland side but it may have just been the dish I ordered. I wish they had a few more menu choices than they do. The people were very nice and the service was excellent. Atmosphere was a little bit underwhelming. Ordered in but they served us our food in styro boxes. I'll most likely be back again but will probably try a different menu item.
Perfect place to go to as after a hard day at work. The owners always are on top of their game with hospitality and food service. The food is made fresh and they treat their regulars like Super Idols ?????
The food was incredible. Everything was fresh and very flavorful. We had the pork adobo and chicken adobo and the spring rolls. We were too full for dessert but they gave us a sample of the pineapple ice cream and it was delicious. A must try if you like great food!Kid-friendliness: Great personal service
For both newcomers and returning guests, Purple Panda does not disappoint at serving fantastic Filipino cuisine. A certain must for customers local or far to indulge in amazing food.

I walk here a lot as it’s close to my house, & I’ve been going practically since it opened & I love the service they’re always really nice & friendly, really good at explaining menu items without hesitation, & they give me free samples of the ice cream :) The food is also really amazing! I usually get Lumpia ($8 for 6) & Chicken Adobo ($13-ish) which is $22.75 when you purchase both & tax) & it’s really good every single time & they give you vegetables & rice, & they top the chicken with green onions, & the lumpia comes with a spicy sauce that’s really good. I’ve also tried the noodles, the pork belly, & another chicken dish which I don’t remember the name of & its all really good & the chicken is always really juicy & everything has this amazing flavor (& in my opinion) it’s just a really great place to go in general. I usually go for lunch or dinner & when I get ice cream it’s always really good & they give you sprinkles & crunchy wafer sticks :) I like the Ube one :) They are probably my favorite restaurant! Amazing service & food! 100/10 love them so much !
