Fast food Chinese at best. If you dine in, your eating out of styrofoam plates and cups. The food is bland-NO flavor. The soups were watered down. The salt and pepper shrimp were excessively breaded (60% breading 40% shrimp) We will not be returning, your better off going to Panda Express! read more

Being from back east, good Chinese food is hard to find. Chef Panda takes me back to my childhood. The sweet and sour chicken is phenomenal. We will keep coming back! read more

I like Chef Panda for takeout. It's not a comfortable sit/down restaurant, however. Dishes are served up fresh, hot and quick. They're large portions also. I typically have enough left over for lunch the next day. read more

Found Chef Panda to be a nice surprise when we went back after a long layoff. We have since ordered four or five different times and suggested our friends give it another try. Our usual experiences are great but what happened last night was a bit off putting. I made my usual order which includes no onion in my wife beef fried rice this order had onion, I always pay extra for fried rice vs white and always pay for extra veggies and extra meat so in total between 5 and 7 dollar add ons. Not a ton of money but it's what o ordered and we did not get fried rice or extra anything. I will continue to use Chef Panda just a little disappointed in the last order. If it happens again then things will change but mistakes happen and I'm always willing to give a place a second chance. Small piece of advice... read the entire on line order ! read more

Everytime I order from this place, I am NEVER disappointed. They go above and beyond. The delivery drivers are ALWAYS amazing and the food is piping hot! They care about their customers! read more

Home sick, so I ordered the hot and sour soup for take out........when it was brought to my door......omg, hot and steamy as if I had taken it right off the stove myself! Tasty? Uhhhh ya! Thank you everyone @ Chef Panda! You definitely have a regular with me and my family, and thank you for helping me feel a little bit better! read more

Update: March 3 2019 We just got dinner delivered and it's like we got food from a totally different restaurant. We ordered the same things and they don't taste the same at all- perhaps they have a different cook or...? I don't know but we won't be ordering again for a while at least. We might try take out another time but not delivery. This is the best Chinese food we have had since we moved to AZ 11 years ago. We had the Chef special chicken, Mongolian beef, pork fried rice and crab puffs. It was all delicious. The actual restaurant is not meant for eating in- they have some tables and chairs but only plastic utensils and styrofoam plates and you have to order at the counter. We will definitely be getting take out but will not be eating there again. Also they only have bottled beverages, no soda fountain. read more

Chef Panda has some really good food. I especially like the Hong Kong noodles. So convenient for takeouts.

The family and I ordered here for the first time and picked a couple soups and entrees. All we have to say is how great the food tasted. We are definitely having this again! read more

Very typical Chinese takeout. Lunch special prices are great and servings are generous. Very friendly staff! Order your spicy dishes "Extra Spicy" - it will make it likely as spicy as you want it; not overly spicy. read more

Amazing good and the employees are always nice. Love how easy it is to order online. Would be helpful if a side order of fries was on the online ordering. read more

It was okay, I've had better. It didn't seem very fresh and it was pretty skimpy in the meat portions.

General sao chicken is suppose to be spicy. Mine was so sweet and drenched in sauce. Portion size was ok for price. Pot stickers were way over cooked and the rice was hard. Not like undercooked hard but like leftovers hard. read more

Very good! We were in the process of moving , hungry for lunch so we found this place. Ordered easily online, delivery did say it could take an hour it ended up taking about 35 min , the food was piping hot the man that delivered was very nice. We got teriyaki chicken , fried rice, beef and broccoli, lo mein and egg drop soup. The soup was a little on the bland side but good everything else was excellent. Prices were great! We will definitely eat here again read more

Very good food, I like DoorDash delivery option and I think medium spicy is done perfectly.

I order from these guys pretty regularly. Foods decent most of the time. Today I ordered the chicken pad Thai and I gotta say, It's terrible. Not the right noodles. Not the right type of chicken. No peanuts. It really wasn't even pad Thai. Like I said decent food just don't order pad Thai if you except it to be authentic. read more

Outstanding! Delicious! Worth the wait! Soooooo good. You guys are consistently delicious. Thank you :)

Good food, great service, and good price. The food is fresh and well seasoned and arrives quickly.

Amazing food! I love very spicy while my son and husband do NOT. We all have been satisfied immensely with the food and will continue to order from here. read more

I have ordered twice and each time the delivery has been quoted 30 mins and has been over 2 hours. I called and the response I got was it is busy. I will not be ordering again from this place, nor will I be recommending to anyone. read more

Ordered there, meat was obviously old and soggy, on the verge if not spoiled. Horrible.

Good food with excellent service. We've gotten delivery from this restaurant for years and it's always been correct orders and friendly staff. They even toss goodies in for the kids sometimes which just thrills them. Wonderful company in our local community. read more

Moved to Surprise from Glendale we were sad not being able to order from our usual spot. But we have found our new favorite place to get Chinese food. We got 3 lunches and crab puffs! Food got to the house fast and hot! Just what we needed from a long couple days of moving and unpacking! Good portions I got the orange chicken it was tasty not spicy like the usual orange chicken. Looking forward to trying everything! read more

Best Chinese food in Surprise and the food has gotten even better since the new chef arrived! Sesame chicken, House chicken, Amazing chicken, Mongolian Beef, Walnut Shrimp and Vegetable Beef are some of my favorites! I have dined in and had it delivered and it is always Fast Fresh Food! The menu is amazing with so many options. The location is great and always super clean. We will be back!! read more

Sweet and sour chicken. Nummy, not greasy. Huge to-go portions. 1 order will easily feed 2. I wish I could give 4.5 stars. I don't have a good reason not to give it 5. read more

Have eaten here several times (well, take out from here). I usually love their hot and sour soup. This last time not so much. Maybe a new or different cook? Didn't care for the chicken in the kung pao, was a little tough and didn't appear to be fresh chicken breast, more like pre-packaged. Don't think I'll be back anytime soon. read more

Great service and food. Easy stop in for lunch or dinner I had the chicken with vegetables. I'll be back

Wow! I love this place. The food is amazing, it was fresh, and how lovely is Bailey! She was so accommodating and attentive. The chef special chicken is a must, and the chicken fried rice is amazing as well. I won't take a star off, but the egg drop is mediocre at best. Everything else was so amazing it didn't matter though. The place is a ma&pa type shop it's not very decorated, but they provide really cool book and stuff to look at while you wait for your food. I will be coming back here. The price was also good for the food we received. read more

They have great food, their lo mein is so good. I have been very impressed with the food and service!

Linda's place first opened, we had a slight problem with our first order of sweet and sour chicken. We started to try them again. It turns out things have improved. I've tried ordering them through GrubHub and Uber Eats. And both times the food has been very good. And they cooked each order to your specifications. read more

I'm a big noodle fan and the noodles here aren't that great, the portions were small for the prices. The owner was very friendly and the place was very clean. read more

Something has changed in the past year. Food has gone from awesome to blah. Won't order again.

The food was great and the portions very generous! The owner was very professional and grateful for our business. When I'm in Surprise , AZ I'll definately be back! read more

Too small for dining in. Too many people ordering to go. LOOKING for a sit down restaurant with nice ambiance and small but not here on a weekday at rush hour. I'll try again at a earlier time. read more

I'm not easily impressed trying new restaurants, but WOW! This place was so good I felt compelled to log into yelp to write a review. I'm not exaggerating lol, easily the BEST Chinese food I've ever had. We ordered it takeout, and they have the option for online ordering which is really cool. The delivery guy was very humble and super appreciative for our order. I was very impressed!!! read more

Such awesome service. When I called they hadn't gotten my order from grub hub and followed up with phone calls and texts. Best service! The food was amazing also. The General Tso was perfect and the Lo Mein noodles tasted homemade. I couldn't stop eating it. !! read more

I never write review but given the situation I am. I placed my first order using grub hub.... the menu had the options listed as vegetarian. I was excited I could have them delivered to surprise, AZ. I live kinda of far and most places don't deliver. I was very hungry.... so when the order was delivered but the owner I was shocked. He was very nice btw. I admittedly opened the food and started eating it. I then after about two bites stared feeling weird. The food was not vegetarian and I broke Out in hives all over! I hate the fact they falsely advertised the food ad vegetarian! They are going to be held accountable for the fact the could of killed me. This restaurant needs to understand that people have allergies to certain things and if they fail to put the in the menu distribution then people who look for that would thing it's ok to eat this food. Well very allergic to certain foods and here are the pictures for evidence!!!! U will he hearing from me! Grub hub already know this issue. I will he calling my attorney tomorrow ! You could of killed me. Ur restaurants closed now but I would of happily called!i hope when I'm done suing u u guys realize what false advertising can do! Your the food industry please learn the importance of listing ur items correctly. You will be hearing from me again!!!!!!! So unhappy eying two bites here almost cost my life!!!!!!!! Look at the phots. You guys should be ashamed people do count on ur menu listing to be accurate. I will be in-contact and my attorney will be reaching out! Ok hope this never happens to anyone else because of ur false advertising and laziness correctly list ur food items. You guys really need to understand thing like this can and are life threatening!!!!!!!!! I will be talking to u soon sadly...... don't order from her read more

Awesome food. Not authentic Chinese but great none the less. When you have picky eaters this is the place. Will modify food and ingredients.

I placed an order for delivery in the amount of $30. We ordered teriyaki chicken, which was simply chicken tossed atop white rice and teriyaki sauce just poured on top and the other order was General tso chicken which was so soggy I thought they had dumped it in water before putting it on the plate. We also had 2 orders of crab puff which were burnt to an absolute crisp, I mean the edges were black! We also ordered 2 egg rolls which we NEVER received, although we did get the egg roll sauce!! We ended up throwing THE ENTIRE DINNERS (2of them) ALONG WITH THE CRAB PUFFS IN THE TRASH! Chicken McNuggets taste better a and they're pretty bad! I also ordered all white meat, but I believe it was that processed, stamped together chicken, so it all looks white! NEVER, ever, ever, will I order from there again! I've never had such horrible Chinese food in my life ANYWHERE! read more
