We ordered for a Birthday party. Food is really authentic Indonesian and yummy. Food display for the BBQ wings platter was below expectations. Not like the one in the picture. Restaurant did provide us disposable plates for our convenience as requested. Really appreciate the thoughtfulness.

Maybe I am lucky, I have been using foodpanda for years and have never gotten bad service from them. Their customer support is responsive and fast. Unlike grab and delivery, they easily give vouchers for minor spills and such. I still remember being cheated of $70+ from grab CS for an order that was not delivered. And pandamart is the best. Lifesaver many a time for me and my family.
A few pointers:
Use COD option if possible. That way if any issues, then the rider needs to contact you for any issues.
Enter correct address with proper unit number.
Give a tip even $1 or $2 is good. Actions speak louder than words. If you tip regularly, riders put in extra effort for your order. My regular rider gave me 2 beers once to apologise for 15 min delay due to restaurant having many orders.
Don’t spam the rider asking where is my order, why take so long. Remember they need to ride/drive to you. It’s not safe to ride and type.
If you stay condo, answer your intercom, or meet them at your guardhouse if it isn’t working

Very good service. Keep up the good work!
Michellestat M
Honestly with the number of bad reviews, I was hesitant of cancelling my order upon placing it. However the app didn’t allow me to cancel without contacting customer service so I left it at that and took a giant leap of faith. Ordered the night before for the morning to arrive around 11:15-12:15, I even had breakfast because I was anticipating a 4h wait.. but then at 12 sharp they actually did arrive – every single item I ordered! Not going to lie that I was honestly very pleasantly surprised and impressed. I hope they keep it up as this is the bare minimum and imagine if every order is like this every time, their business will be buzzing!
