Panda Inn

Very elegant don’t get me wrong but do not come here if you’re starving and don’t like to wait. I skipped breakfast and I’m here for lunch and we waited a minimum of 45 minutes for our entrees! Ridiculous! Not a lot of people, so come on speed it up! That’s my only complain.
Okay now that I ate :
Food is very very delicious I did underestimate them a little 4.5 stars
But I’ll keep the 2 stars up there because I know I only look at the 1 star reviews before the 5 star review lol

Came here for a graduation party. We were about a group of 30. Our waiters/​servers, Kelsey and Ivan, were attentive, friendly, and efficient. They served us with smiles and readiness. Food was pretty good, better than the Pasadena location. I recommend the lettuce wraps and calamari.

I am not sure what I liked the best food wise… Maybe the shrimp dish & orange chicken. A super destination for a large group… Great to try so sample so many different dishes.
Décor pretty, service great & food was yummy

Great service. The food is decent, I just don’t think it’s my favorite Chinese place. I will go here over Panda Express, especially for lunch, which costs about the same as PE and without the trays. The place is more pricey at dinner. Also, don’t expect complimentary hot tea, that will cost extra. The fortune cookies are probably my favorite thing here. They dip them in white chocolate.

*4.5 stars
This is probably a decent Chinese place if you are in a small group. I came here with my family (party of 55) for a baptism lunch at opening time (11:30). When we walked in we were greeted by modern furnishings. After taking a look around we headed to the tables immeditaley because we had reservations and we were seated as soon as we entered the restaurant. Even though we were seated immediately we weren’t asked for drinks until 20 minutes later. After we got our drinks we didn’t not get any service until 30 minutes later then we were finally able to order. When the food came it all looked delicious! We ordered fried fish with sauce, noodles, fried rice, and Kung Pao chicken. a the food tastes amazing! In the end, the food was good, but service was a bit slow.

When you come here ask for TOM!!! The best employee Panda Inn could have! Plus the food is delicious!!! Make my brother’s graduation dinner very pleasant. Prepared his favorite drink for my aunt. Thanks Tom!

Wondered how Panda Inn tasted because of its good reviews! Came here on a Friday, a little after the lunch rush and were seated immediately.
Me and my BF ordered the mu shu pork, a cup of hot & sour soup, and the spicy trio! I thought I ordered mu shu wraps that have lettuce as the wrap but we got one with a tortilla-​like wrap instead. No worries, it was still good! The hot & sour soup was delicious too! And spicy trio hit the spot as the entrée. Not too spicy but just enough kick in it.
The service was beyond amazing! Thank you for a great first experience at Panda Inn!

I was visiting Ontario from out of town for business. I stayed at the Marriott and this was directly next to the Marriott. The staff recommended it and boy am I glad I went!
First off the service was absolutely amazing. I was taken care of by both of the bartenders and they were super nice. I haven’t had such phenominal service in a very long time
I had the crispy calamari, shrimp with garlic sauce and the valcano cake. Everything was incredible. The restaurant itself is beautiful and very well kept.
The mai tais are delicious as well.
Very excited to return. If you see this, and you don’t go, you are making a mistake and missing out.

Kelsey is da man!!! He made our first time dining here at Panda Inn a celebration and one to remember. This guy deserves a raise!
The food took a while to get to our table but once it was served — it was War!!! …in a good way. The food was spectacular. This is not Panda the Express way, it was Panda Dining Inn. Great flavor and if you like more spicy, you may ask for it.
What a busy night! There were graduation parties and birthdays and lots of other occasions going on simultaneously.
The bar was great! The bartender, Nancy, was very nice. Waiting at the bar while waiting on our table was a very good thing.
We will be coming back here for sure!

Finally had the opportunity to try the «sit down» panda. The place is super nice and modern looking from the inside. We went on a Sunday and didn’t realize they offered Sunday Brunch, and so we decided to try out their brunch. The food was just okay, it tasted exactly like the «fast food» from Panda Express, but that could be since we didn’t order from their regular menu. I do think it was a tad bit overpriced for the quality of the food. I am curious to come back another day and order from the regular menu though. If you come for Sunday Brunch, make sure you come early, as they get really busy. They start serving brunch at 11 am and we arrived just as they opened, there was already a wait.

The food is amazing, I strongly recommend their upside down noodle in brown sauce. The staff and waiters are very polite and nice. Mr. Chris was our waiter today he did outstanding job 5******

A nice sit down Chinese restaurant with a nice ambience and a large menu. Owned by the same owners, this is Panda Express’ big brother, but there are many offerings not available at Panda Express like the Mango Duck Salad — one of my favorites!
They also chocolate dip their fortune cookies — yum!
Check out the photos to see the interior, menu & some examples of the food.
It’s located in the same parking lot as TGIFridays — check it out!

This is the best Chinese food in the IE. Granted it is not Philadelphia, but really consistent. The food could have earned five stars, but longer wait times has to cost a star. Delicious honey walnut shrimp and panda beef is perfect when you add their hot chili oil! Excellent place for take out. Our waiter Kelsey was wonderful!

The atmosphere is very beautiful and upscale.
The war wonton (assorted wonton) soup was pretty good.
I ordered the honey walnut shrimp, which was incredibly delicious!
The egg rolls were just, okay tasting.
I normally am not a fan of fortune cookies, but Panda Inn dips their fortune cookies in white chocolate, and OMG! All fortune cookies should be dipped in white chocolate.
The overall service was good.
If you haven’t been here, you should come check it out (:

Came here on a Saturday night after a graduation ceremony and it was still pretty busy around 9pm. We waited about 20 minutes before being seating. The restaurant is set up interestingly. We sat in the area where there were about 4 – 5 tables. But could be a good area for a private party.
We ordered and the server warned us that there would be a wait for the food to come out. I got the edamame for free with a Unilocal check-​in! The table next to us was eating some noodle dish and it turns out it was the Lo –Mein which looked delicious so we ordered that. I heard the Orange Chicken was a top menu item so we ordered a small order. I wish we had ordered a medium but it definitely wasn’t enough. Lastly, added moo-​shu appetizer but it really was an appetizer. Only got 2 from it!
I like that they have small, medium or family size options. It’s fairly pricey for Chinese food but it’s better than the chinese food you get from the mall or panda express.
The best part? The fortune cookies! They are dipped in white chocolate and are wrapped in pretty foil.
I appreciate the heads-​up on the lateness of the food but I think for a weekend, they should be staffed appropriately.

If you are lazy and don’t want to read past 1 statement, just read the statement below.
ORDER TAKE OUT.
Now that I have gotten that out of the way, the food here is DELICIOUS! I ordered the Kung Poa and it was FANTASTIC. The chicken was tender and the spices were just right. There is a lack of rice, but I guess you can always ask for more. There is a great selection of cocktails and wines to go with your food and the atmosphere here is very modern. The fortune cookies are even dipped in yogurt! It’s delicious!
Here is my complaint. The service here is AWFUL! I sat at the bar and it took about 15 minutes before someone acknowledged that I was actually there. It took the person sitting next to me to be aggressive for the bartender to notice me. He was a local and told me that Panda Inn is known for it’s bad service and to just order take out. After my experience here, I can’t disagree with them.
Why it does well? The food is amazing.

The inside of this restaurant is beautiful! They have a nice bar area with TVs to watch sports, and many tables inside as well.
I definitely recommend the Sizzling Rice Soup! Their Chow Fun and Chicken with Garlic Sauce was good as well. I got take out here at 10:10pm, 20 minutes before they closed and they were fast and very nice!

Went here yesterday for the 1^st time and fell in love. .the restaurant is beautiful and food is amazing. .staff was also very friendly
Can’t wait to go back and try something different

My Wife has been bugging me for years to take her here, preferably during the Sunday Brunch. We didn’t make it on a Sunday, we made it on New Years Day for lunch.
We walked in and were impressed with the décor and ambiance. The staff was very welcoming, and gave us a menu to look at while we waited 5 minutes of our quoted 15 minute wait. We were seated and asked almost immediately what we would like to drink. I ordered Coffee (not on the menu) and water, and the Wife got her usual Lemonade.
Our drinks arrived momentarily, and our orders were taken by an older Gentleman who was nothing short of wonderful throughout our entire meal.
Our first appetizer came out within a few minutes. It was the Edamame, and we were given the choice of having our order steamed, or wok-​grilled. That was a nice option to have, and since we have had steamed edamame countless times. We opted for the wok-​grilled, and we are glad we did! It came out as some of the best we had ever had, top-​three Edamame ever for sure! It tastes SO much better as its steaming hot, with a taste reminiscent of a good salted grilled steak! I know that sounds weird, but it reminded me of chewy of the gristle of a prime rib. Very salty, even more so as you reach the ones on the bottom, so pace yourself. We will be getting this item every time we return here. SO good!
Then came our Mu-​Shu Wraps. Two to an order. We opted for pork in ours. Our Waiter prepared them at our table with what they called «pancake wraps.» We know better. We know that they are thin tortillas lol. They came with a hoisin-​ish sauce to dip them in. We started dipping the leftover edamame we had into it, and it proved to be a great These were amazing! We were glad we opted to try something new to us, they were the best asian burritos we ever had! Definitely recommend.
Our entrees came out about ten minutes later. Great timing as it gave us ample time to let our appetizers settle a bit.
My Wife got the Cashew Chicken. She LOVED this dish. She said that every ingredient was cooked perfectly! The chicken was soft and tender. The vegetables were firm but cooked and retained their natural flavor. The cashews were cooked slightly; not raw, but not cooked until soft and stale either. The water chestnuts were crisp and delicious. All the tastes were there,…and the plate was HUGE! My Wife is almost 7 months pregnant with twins, and even SHE couldn’t finish her plate. I ended up eating the last 4 or 5 bites of her dish, much to my benefit. I agree, this is legit Chinese cuisine.
I got the Spicy Trio, with was Chicken, Beef, and Shrimp made sort of Kung-​Paoish. The spiciness was there, but not too much. I added a tad of the chili sauce on the table to my dish for some more kick. The Peas that came with it were great by themselves, cooked perfectly. This entrée is a great introduction to this restaurant, sort of sets the tone for anything else you mat try next time to come here.
Oh, and I WILL be coming back here. There are too many things on the menu that caught my eye NOT to come back. Not to mention that my Wife STILL wants to try the Sunday Brunch. She will get her chance soon.
The coffee here was very good. Gevalia maybe? Who knows. The water was fresh and filtered, and my Wife’s Lemonade tasty, well, tasty. My drinks were refilled promptly, and with a smile and a «Your Welcome.»
This place is a gem. I highly recommend.

Being Asian, I’m always a little (or a lot) skeptical about Asian food establishments that put their primary emphasis on going overboard in orientalfying their place with an overly Asian theme. That was my impression when finding Panda Inn on my Waze and then on initial entry to the restaurant. I will say it’s clean and modern, but a little too in your face.
I ordered the Edamame (Thanks Unilocal – came free with the meal), Vegetable Egg Rolls, and Lettuce Wraps for starters. It’s hard to ruin edamame, so that was acceptable. Can’t really write home about the egg rolls (can write on Unilocal though) and the lettuce wraps? They used ice berg lettuce for xst’s sake! A definitel point deduction. The taste on the rolls and wraps were middle of the road fast food Asian at best.
For my entrée I ordered the beef and broccoli. Meat was tender, and the broccoli was cooked correctly – but I just have to give it only 3 stars because the flavor was just so underwhelming and mediocre. Of all things important, that’s simply it, and a deal-​breaker if not good.
Sadly, my deal is broken and I probably won’t come back on my own. If the zombies attack and this is the only place to eat, I will certainly enjoy whatever isn’t spoiled.
