The food is not great however. Almond chicken is very blah. Anything sweet and sour is ok as the sauce drowns everything else out. If you're in Ferndale and want Chinese food, this is a Chinese restaurant. Maybe there is something I have not had that is great, but overall it has been a little lacking.

I usually go for the number combos (my favorite is #5), because they're the best value around: soup, carbs, protein, and veggies all packed into one plate for a great price. It's the kind of meal where you sit back halfway through and think, yep, this is why I came here. When I bring family, we always order the sweet and sour prawn family combos. They come out steaming hot, perfectly crispy, and there's always more than enough to share. Honestly, I never leave this place without feeling like I should be wheeled out in a barrel--I'm that full. The staff here are quick, friendly, and responsive, even when it gets busy. You can tell they've been perfecting this for over 30 years, because the food comes out consistently fast and flavorful. It's a hidden gem in Bellingham--one of those places that once you find it, you keep coming back

Large lot for easy parking. We walked in right at 4pm - opening - on a Tuesday. One other couple…read morewas already seated. We knew we wanted spring rolls and wontons, so we ordered that when brought water. We decided on the seven flavor beef for the meal to split. The two apps came out quickly. The wontons were SO GOOD. And the spring rolls were well done but nothing special - solid sauce. The beef came out at the perfect time, right after we finished the apps. And Woweee! It is so good! The beef is tender and flavorful with the crispy lettuce underneath and delicious spices. It went well with the rice, which was perfectly cooked average white rice. We had enough beef left to make one more meal with our own rice. We will 100% be back and are so looking forward to the beef, wontons, and perhaps something new!

The ingredients have always been fresh and cooked excellently. The last two times have been disappointing. The service remains fine. But the food has drifted towards bland and mushy, more like grocery store take-out. The Wontons in Chili Oil were as good as always. The Garlicky Chicken, one of my all-time favorites, was bland and lacking crispness. No garlic flavor and lacking any character or wok hei. The Sweet and Sour Tofu lacked proper preparation. The tofu had not been drained, rendering it soggy and almost tasteless and diluting the sauce. The orange chicken was likewise uncharacteristically bland. Not sure what's happened. New chef? I notice that they have gotten much busier---a good thing for them. They charge top-tier prices which I've been happy to pay until now. But I hope the quality of the food reverts back to its prior excellence.

This is the second time we've ordered from Panasia inside the Silver Reef Casino in Ferndale, WA…read more It has limited hours and is only available for take-out Thursday-Sunday 4-10. Seems odd for a casino but I don't run the show. We like to get away for a night during the week every month or so and we like the Silver Reef. The take-out policy at Panasia is perfect for us. We order and bring it all back to the room anyway. Their menu is limited but they have some good stuff. I order the Mongolian Beef and we share Sweet and Sour Chicken. Mama gets the Yakisoba and we add their fried rice as well. All that feeds us twice each because we take the leftovers home the next day. Appetizers are limited to egg rolls or bbq pork. I've had both and prefer the pork with the hot mustard. The egg rolls were a little soggy last time. The MB is excellent. The right amount of green onions and the sauce is flavorful. I wanted to mention the sweet and sour chicken. They do it right. It's not just breaded chicken with that sweet red stuff drizzled on it. It's more like I remember from growing up in the SF Bay Area. The sauce was still red but it had red and green bell peppers in it with onion and pineapple chunks. Perfect. The Yakisoba is also excellent. Portions are good size and packed in plastic covered dishes. Prices are decent. At my local Chinese place in Stanwood I pay over $17 for less Mongolian Beef. Here it was less than $12 for more and it's better. When we order at our local place the bill can get over $80 fast for the same amount of food or less. Sorry there are no photos this time around. I recommend Panasia for the food alone. Being take-out only in a casino operation isn't the best concept but maybe they will open up their sit-down dining at some point. I'm not dropping a star because of the lack of dining in.

We were missing buffets so we decided to come for a fun lunch time! It was definitely fun. The…read moreSunday All Day buffet is priced at $23.99 and we thought it was well worth it because of the variety. The service is pretty standard and the staff were able to clear our plates relatively quickly. This is a Chinese or Asian style buffet, and we loved the Asian style fusion foods. There were rows and rows of food choices. Some of the trays were of hot food like ribs or fish, fried foods, various seafoods, a salad bar, sushi and sashimi bar, desserts or fruits, and even a DIY grilling station where you can choose your own meats or proteins, veggies, or noodles, and they'll freshly stir fry it on a hot stone flat grill top! The various seafoods included shrimp, clams, baked oysters, crawfish, and deep fried crab. My favourite was probably the sushi bar with many different rolls, nigiri sushi, sashimi, and sashimi salad. They also have an unlimited soft serve machine. All in all, a great lunch with amazing variety and portions!

They didn't have much to choose from either. No beef dishes as I can recall except the roast. Other than that it was mainly chicken dishes. They had some seafood dishes, but weren't fresh of course. They had seafood boil that had a few lobster halves, snails and crab legs, but it always ran out as soon as they filled it. People would just dig for it and leave the rest like the potatoes and corn. Luckily I was able to grab a few crabs and half of a lobster after the 4th fill. I did have a few baked oyster that was good. The place was semi decent when it came to cleanliness. The people that worked there were nice. They did have a Mongolian grill. Other than that, I will cut this review short because there wasn't anything phenomenal about this restaurant.

FOOD Stir-Fried Dried Green Beans ($19.95) The winner is this category would be Tropical Island Restaurant on Shelbourne; however, The Cozy Place offering would be close behind it. Decent with some crunch still; you can get it spicy or not. Ma Po Tofu ($19.95) You can order it meatless or minced pork; it's somewhat authentic. It does have some heat to it (for those sensitive to spice); however, it's pretty solid! === 3. SERVICE Service was good and professional on call-in, payment, wait, questions around the menu, and when the order was ready. English was fluently spoken by the lady working the front and the man cooking the dishes behind her. === 4. ENVIRONMENT It's a long, narrow restaurant - your group of 6, maybe 8 could fit at one table in the front. For everyone else, you're accommodated in tables of 2's or 4's along the wall. If bringing a wheelchair or baby stroller, I would stick to the table in the front. Parking is all metered on the street - note that the city has their parking enforcement office basically across the way working until 8pm, so put payment into the meters upfront even if you're coming by to do a quick pickup!

Their menu is really easy to read and understand and they are very friendly and quick. They give you a buzzer you can take with you and go find somewhere to sit which is great. We decided to try the rice noodle soup with beef, potstickers and donuts. The soup was amazing. So much flavor and packed with lots of noodles and beef. You get quite a bit for what you pay for. The potstickers also had lots of flavor and was the perfect texture with just the right amount of crisp. The donuts, oh wow. These are amazing! I would come back just for these alone! They were served hot and drizzled with a perfect amount of sweetened condensed milk, they were so good. Our food came out quick and hot and for how much food you get and the quality of food you get it's definitely worth it. We will be back!

The setup includes a couple of food trucks and a covered beer garden with seating. We decided to grab our food to go since the weather wasn't cooperating, but everything still tasted amazing back at our hotel. We ordered vegetarian dumplings, vegetarian fried egg rolls, chicken dumplings, pork Chinese buns, and chicken rice noodle soup. Every dish was flavorful and fresh. The soup in particular had a rich, comforting broth with tender chicken, noodles, and cabbage. Portions were generous, prices were reasonable, and service was fast. The woman working the truck was friendly and welcoming, even with the wind and rain coming down. We will definitely be back next time we are in Bellingham. If the weather is better, we will stay and eat in the beer garden. This place is a great find.
