Panda Restaurant

Awesome service, great food, every time I order out, the order is correct, even with my complicated taste, foods great, and prices are perfect!

I’ve been here a few times now, I have to say the restaurant itself isn’t the nicest but that’s why I order takeout. I love the hot and sour soup, it’s a bit more peppery then I’m use too and doesn’t have any mushrooms or seaweed, which I wish it did but it does taste good. I usually order the orange chicken and it’s pretty decent. The house chow mein could use a bit more shrimp but it was yummy. Overall it’s ok, it’s not horrible like I thought it would be from the other reviews.

Food was decent. Service was not good at all. Since I am Asian, I get personally offended when I’m not even given the chance to get chopsticks rather than a fork. The waiter never came by to check on us. He was just sitting behind the counter the entire time watching something on his tablet with headphones on. He didn’t even bother to take them off when he came to give us the check. There was also no body else there for dinnertime. I do realize that in the Chinese culture, servers don’t check up on the customers often, but this was ridiculous to not even look like he is interested on the job.

This place is an old style Chinese restaurant that’s probably been here for decades. Most of the business seems to be for take-​out although there has always plenty of open tables, the waiter has always been friendly enough despite me being the only guest seated. No a/​c, but plenty of outlets ha! I like the half duck.

Dont believe everything you read. I called and asked if they deliver because it says they do on here and they said no. Don’t say you deliver if you aren’t going to do it.

So I tried putting in an order for delivery on a Wednesday evening… They told me it would be 1.5 hours or more… Then I could barely understand the guy on the phone… I found their menu online and it was very inaccurate, everything I wanted to order they didn’t have. The man then got upset with me because he said I wasn’t ordering right… So he hands me off to someone who still isn’t understandable over the phone. He gets frustrated with me and tells me to just come in and order and wait for my food. So far I haven’t even tried their food but I’m not impressed and don’t have the urge to try it… I have also never heard of a legitimate Chinese restaurant that doesn’t serve their dishes in some form of family style… I was told every entrée was single person only he didn’t understand why I wanted just the entrée… Can I not give it a no star review

I love this place! The food is always great! I’m sorta picky with my food and they never seem to mind if I want my food a certain way. The man that usually always works there is so nice. He always remembers me and my dad anytime we call to make an order or just walk in!

I ordered Chicken Chowmein and Orange Chicken. The Chowmein had a Burt taste to it and both meats had a slight freezer burn taste. Oh– and I got Sweet and Sour Chicken. This was our first and last visit.

Food wasn’t good. Had the garlic shrimp. .didn’t have any taste.
And the water tasted off.

The food and service was amazing. We order delivery and it arrived pretty fast. We ordered spring rolls, beef chow mein, chicken fried rice, chicken and broccoli, sweet and sour chicken and wontons. It all came out to be around 40 including tip. There was so much food we had enough for the next days lunch. Definitely going to order from here again.

I enjoyed an order of kung pao chicken. The dish was tasty and the price was just right. I would recommend this place to anyone who just wants a good Asian meal.

If I’m in this area?. I come here to get my (shredded cabbage) Egg Roll fix… They come 4 to an order.
Hot and Delicious… Now, I can’t tell you about any other foods they have, I come for that one item only… I do however, see people taking carry out boxes during lunch time, when I’m over there!
It’s not a place that is usually crowded, and from the outside, you might mistake it for an old «bar» if you didn’t know it was a Chinese food place! I myself think it’s clean, enough. I HAVE seen worse, with lines out the door! Inside, It has the look of a restaurant from a by gone era, but nothing that a couple cans of paint, and a trip to Ikea couldn’t fix!
The service is a simple hello greeting w/​a smile, 4 egg rolls?! I mean come on. I don’t need a «Red Carpet» for that…
The guy was nice enough to make sure I wasn’t bored while waiting the WHOLE 5 minutes, for my food. He promptly gave me a couple magazines just as I sat down, that was nice.
Yeah, they could use an update, but momma always said «it’s the thought that counts!»…
So, If the rest of the food taste as good as the egg rolls? I just might go in one day, and order something else… For right now…$ 2 – 3?.. That’s NOT a bad price for an «on the go» snack… Warning! They ARE a bit on the greasy side… being they come str8 from the fryer and all… But at least you know, they’re not sitting up under a heat lamp!
Go try em’!

I love u panda! Food is the freshest tastiest Food ever! Never greasy or oily, i prefer here over pf changs and high end chinese bistros. If u want fresh ingredients and not grease or oil come here! I always order the mushroom chicken! It is to die for !!!

love the lunch specials! our favorite «orange chicken plate» you can actually taste the chicken breast mmmmmmmmmmmm…
we live in chula vista and drive all the way here to eat because? honestly the best orange chicken and service is great. family enviroment :)

Folks if your rating the restraunts on the food and service it is an easy 5.
If your interested in a glamous décor place and how its decorated go elsewhere.
The décor is old but the place is spotless clean with great food, great service
and I never spend more than $ 10– $ 15 lunch or diner even getting extras.
A great bargain for the dollar.
The menus has something for everyone and they do a large take out when I have diner
the phone is ringing nonstop, They sell alot of food because the food is great tasting.
Stop by and try this place and rate them on the quality of their food and service, etc.
The eggs foo young diner is delicious, shrimp and beef great tasting.
Honestly never had a meal there I wouldnt have again.
You will be coming back often… I eat there atleast monthly for diner;
Highly reccommend.

Super awesome food especially when you stick to the traditional! Great delivery service. Have to admit my husband and I are picky eaters, we always prefer making our own dinner and when we decide to dine out or order in after a long day we are skeptical. They make a delicious shrimp fried rice and sesami chicken, their egg rolls are great too. Don’t mind the wontons either!

Came in on a Friday at 4, place was dead. Service was fast waiter was friendly and everything looked clean. There is about one million things to order from so come in with an idea or a craving. Ordered the thia tea with boba was tasty had a smooth taste. For the food I ordred shrimp in lobster souce with steamed rice. The rice was very dry, the shrimp and veggies extremely fresh. Food looked great but the the taste was maybe a ²⁄₅. The soup lacked flavor as well the portion was ment for two. I will have to try their other meals to determine if they are worth higher rating. Not impressed at all

Don’t know why others weren’t happy. This place is very good. Best pecan shrimp I’ve ever had in San Diego. Beef and broccoli was also good. Spring rolls were 5 star good. Won Ton soup was also excellent. No downside except tea is typically weak but ok.

Don’t waste your time or money. Ordered and waited, and waited, and waited. Two other people in restaurant dining in. I wouldn’t do that. The inside looks and feels like an old Jack in the box, but dirty. A bunch of different handmade signs in other languages, none helpful to me. I ordered something simple. Kids wanted orange chicken, sweet sour chicken and I wanted spicy garlic veggies with chicken. What we got was orange muck probably from the same jug with hardly any veggies, and the blandest institutionalized garlic veggie chicken thing in the world. Nothing worth saving for later, barely had some the first time.
While we were waiting the owner (?not sweaty guy that came out of kitchen with the food), was arguing with someone on the phone about location, either the restaurant’s or possibly delivery address. After about 5 minutes on the phone he ended up shouting that he didn’t understand person on the phone and hung up. Do they not know anything about customer service and business?
The place was stuffy and stinky. The tables were sticky looking. Neglect was evident, which made me sad.
I had come to this physical location when I was a child and it was magical. Red leather booths, each table with a Chinese lantern, dimmed but suitable lighting, and an aura of peace. The food was so delicious that I burned my tongue every single time we came because I could not wait for the egg drop soup to cool down.
I know it’s changed hands several times and they gutted it, but it makes me feel bad. I feel bad too because I know that they way they are going, this place too will be changing hands in the near future.
But hey, maybe it will become the place we really want: nicely decorated, comfortable, hospitable, good service with great food.
None of that found here.
PS. Restaurants Take Notice: Stop using styrofoam containers. They leak, they’re ugly, and they’re bad for the environment. Chinese cardboard containers are what I want. I am now boycotting restaurants that use styrofaom.

This is not the place you want to eat from. Ordered the beef with broccoli, general tso’s chicken, chicken fried rice and egg rolls.
First thing chicken fried rice was burnt. I mean you could see black pieces all in the rice and it tasted just as burnt. There also was just big chunks of chicken instead if bite size pieces throughout it. It was completely gross!
Next our main dishes weren’t as bad but chicken in General Tso’s was deff over cooked but the flavor was ok. Beef and broccoli was ok but nothing amazing by far.
The only good thing we received were the egg rolls. They tasted good and seemed to be the only thing they got right.
I will say we ordered delivery which didn’t take long but still overall I will never be eating from here again.
