    I grew up in a family Chinese restaurant, so I'm very picky with my Asian foods. This restaurant was our go to place for pancit and lumpia for many years. We were craving it so we came to our favorite Chinese fast food restaurant, but saw the huge sign that said, "Under New Management". We were devastated because we've been coming to this restaurant for so long and they had the best pancit and lumpia for a Chinese fast food place. Since we were there, we decided to try them out. They did change up the inside. There are plenty of tables to sit and eat there. They have a refrigerator for can drinks. It was empty when we got there which was about an hour before closing, and all their hot food items were almost all out which was fine since we were going to order off the menu. It's not listed up on the menu, but they do offer pancit and lumpia when I asked them. There was one person working the front and I saw about three people in the kitchen. The lady who takes your order and packs your food lacks customer service skills. She told us the cook made our pancit with the wrong noodles, but it's still good, so she threw in two egg rolls in the bag to make up for it, and gave us our bag. She left and helped the next guests. I'm sorry, what? Didn't even ask if that was okay or if I wanted to wait for the cook to fix it. When we got home and opened the food, both noodles looked the same and the flavor wasn't even there. The lumpia looked liked little fingers which are totally different than the ones from the previous owners, and it lacked flavor. We will definitely not be going back, and are so disappointed we lost another good Chinese fast food place that serves Filipino food.

    I had already discounted the restaurant based on the name thinking it would be your run of the mill $1 greasy Chinese food. A quick yelp search helped sway my vote when I saw the Filipino portion of the menu. The kids chose chow mein, fried rice, orange chicken, bbq pork, teriyaki chicken, veggie egg rolls, and an order of lechon. The lechon comes in one size for $18.99; the woman was nice and brought a large container brimming & piping hot to our table. Crunchy, meaty and delicious...needed a little salt but all in all I loved it! The bbq pork and teriyaki chicken was a little lean and still very tasty. Prices are more than reasonable & the staff was very nice. Will be back if I'm in the area. Glad to support the Lechon! ;)

    Not as good as it used to be. Be sure to ask for a fork. They don't hand them out. UNLess asked.

    China Fusion is our official local Chinese food restaurant !!…read more The restaurant is laid out nicely, open space, big windows with natural lighting for a relaxing vibe. The service is very direct, go , order and they with bring you food. They always appreciate comments. The food was well portioned ... we were actually surprised and grateful, me and my wife just had to each get a dish and we had dinner and lunch for the next day. I got the black pepper beef and it was so delicious Z the veggies were seasoned and crisp, the flavors were delicious, the fried rice was delicious a d so were the noodles. We got some veggie egg rolls and the flavors of the veggies were delicious and they were very crispy. The best part is sometimes Chinese food can get really greasy and they are not here. My wife and I have found our local Chinese food fix and we will be back.

    The seating/tables are kept very clean. When you enter you are greeted and seated…read more This restaurant is not a steam table Chinese restaurant. Your food is made to order, as mentioned before. They have 2 family combos (2-4 people) and ala carte. Being my first time we ordered plain fried rice, charsiu chowmein, and 2 veggie egg rolls. Their portions are generous and filling. All food was served very prompt and hot! If you're a Panda fan, this is better! Plate prices are very competitive with other restaurants. A solid 4 star meal, now part of my regular rotation. BTW this place gets very busy at peak hours, I wonder why

    Wow I know this place has been all over TikTok so I expected it to be busy, but it was still crazy…read moreseeing a wait! I remember coming here a few years ago when the restaurant wasn't even full. Well deserved Pan Dumpling House! The food was good! I ordered the liang pi cold noodles and a pork burger. Both were absolutely delicious! The liang pi cold noodles are perfect if you're craving something refreshing, and if you want something meaty to go with it, definitely get the pork burger too! This is my usual go-to combo. Highly recommend checking out Pan Dumpling House! If you don't want to wait in line, ordering pickup is also a great option.

    I was surprised by how big the portions are, like you could buy a plate of rice or noodles and…read moreeasily share it with 4 people, which justifies the price since it is a little expensive. I spent around $77 including tip which was 2 drinks, an appetizer, and 3 main plates. Actually, they don't have just a side of fried rice, so we were forced to buy it as a main plate. Everything tastes good. I just finished my leftovers and I'm already craving the noodles since they were so soft. The restaurant is clean and modern with big windows and an outdoor patio. If it weren't so hot (We came on a 100F day) it looked like a nice place to eat under the umbrellas. I accidentally spilled a jar of hot sauce which for some reason had a loose removable lid and one of the waitresses was quick to clean it up for us. She was nice about it, too, like she could've easily copped an attitude with us about it, but didn't. A man next to us said he accidentally did the same thing which makes me think they need to find a different container for that sauce. There's a huge parking lot, so that wasn't a problem. However, the area directly in front of the restaurant and the other shops near it were sectioned off with yellow caution tape for some reason and my sister said it looked like a murder scene, which made me laugh. I'm fairly sure that wasn't the case, but I don't know why they did it. The only reason I knew the restaurant was open for business was because I saw people eating inside through the windows.

    I came in for dinner tonight and the food was amazing. However, the service was very disappointing…read more When I placed my order, I originally selected three entrées but decided to cancel one and replace it with a different dish. It took about 40 minutes just to get our drinks and have our order taken, and then another 50 minutes for the food to arrive. I politely asked several times when our food would be coming out. The restaurant was not very busy and there were several open tables, so I wasn't sure what the delay was. After waiting an additional 15 minutes, one dish came out, and a few minutes later the rest of the order arrived. Unfortunately, the server also brought the entrée I had clearly canceled when placing the order. I explained that I had canceled it, but she insisted that my mother had ordered it. I calmly told her that I was the only one who spoke and placed the order--my mother hadn't even asked for anything. She continued insisting that we keep the dish because it was already made. When I politely declined, she pointed at my mother and said she had ordered it. My mother responded that she hadn't even spoken. At that point, the server raised her voice and became aggressive, saying we had ordered it and had to keep it. Her attitude shifted completely from polite to confrontational. We remained calm and did not escalate the situation. Eventually, when she realized we weren't going to argue or cause a scene, she took the dish back and walked away. That reaction was completely uncalled for. Additionally, I observed something else that was concerning. A group of African Americans and Hispanic men came in, and there were about four tables open at the time. They were told they had to wait 40-50 minutes to be seated, while other guests who came in after them were seated right away. From what I witnessed, it felt discriminatory based on how they were dressed. That was very uncomfortable to see. At the end of the day, this is a business. We can't pick and choose who gets service. Everyone deserves to be treated with respect. This is my personal experience and observation. I won't take away from the fact that the food was delicious, but the customer service was awful and the delays were absurd. If a restaurant is busy and the food is this good, there should be enough staff scheduled to provide proper service. Because of the service experience, I will not be returning.

    This is now our Togo Chinese food place in the area…read more Parking is decent and size of restaurant is decent. Some seating inside and plenty of seating outside if you eat there. The service is fast and quick. Easy to order for individual meals or family meals or even large trays. Wait isn't that long for large trays if you go in same day to order for big groups. Price is decent and not bad. Portions are decent as well. Food isn't so greasy like most of the places around the area. The Orange chicken is good in flavor and still has a good crispy and crunch to it when it's nice and fresh. The beef and broccoli is also good and broccoli isn't soggy. The BBQ pork is a hit or miss with it being moist or dry. Depends on the cook I guess. The chicken and green beans are always a hit and good. And the chow mein is always a hit with the kiddos. The cream cheese wontons are also good too! Nice and crispy and pairs well with their sauce. Overall a great and decently priced food for a weekly dinner or with large group gatherings.

The chef gentleman walked out with a large pan of Chow Mein while I was choosing my sides. I got their Broccoli Beef and Mushroom Chicken this time and man...so good. As with the current times, they did raise their prices, so as of the time of this post, a Two Entree plate is $10.30, or with tax it's $11.30. The food is very comparable to that panda place, if not better. Staff upfront are mostly friendly. There is a really enthusiastic Auntie there, so if you get greeted by her, just smile back lol. Tip: If you like Orange Chicken, recommend to get it at panda. These smaller shops usually make it with a different batter and flavor.
