Food: Unexciting palate experience

Little Pan offers an adventurous tour into the lands of unexceptional cuisine. While its creativity and taste are praised by customers, the freshness has been tagged as inconsistent. Portions, though large and satisfying, come from a menu whose range is so limited it's like searching for the Holy Grail.

  • Large Portions

    Generous portions well-highlighted, satisfying customers' expectations for size.

  • Okay Value

    Decent food with some items pricey; fair price, but mixed service.

  • Bad Variety

    Menu too limited, lacking variety, not accommodating all diets.

Vibe: Underwhelming drinking options

Ambience is one thing but matters of substance like decent drinks matter even more. Pity then that Little Pan is more water, less wine. Coupled with its popularity derived seating crisis the restaurant hardly sets itself up for a standing ovation.

  • Okay Ambiance

    Ambiance reviews generally positive, though some find it simply adequate.

  • Negative Buzz

    Small size leads to potential seating issues, detracting from experience.

Perks: Loud music and slow service

You’ll probably find parking at Little Pan before finding a decent outdoor seat, and certainly long before the waiting staff decide to grace you with their presence. Bring a megaphone to combat the high decibel levels and leave the kids at home - this space doesn't do roomy.

  • Okay To Park

    Parking generally available; can be tight during rushes but manageable.

  • Hard To Hear

    Music loud, difficulty conversing, depending on crowd volume.
