We love the food here and our favorite waiter, Marc! He always goes out of his way to make sure everyone is happy and satisfied. Marc always goes beyond the call of duty with a smile on his face. We appreciate him + all the staff. -Hammer Family read more

Perfect for party! We had an incredible experience with the catering menu--it was absolutely amazing! Ms. Lee went above and beyond to accommodate us and made sure every detail of our order was perfect. Our guests couldn't stop raving about how delicious the food was, and we received so many compliments throughout the event. We'll definitely be ordering again for future parties. Thank you for making my mom's birthday party a success! We've also been loyal customers since 2004, always loving the lunch specials--so we're thrilled that they're now available on weekends too. Such a fantastic upgrade to an already wonderful place! read more

Really hate to give a 2 star review, this has been our favorite Chinese food for over 20 years, my wife just got delivery tonight for my birthday through Grubhub and the general tso's chicken was tough and over cooked, my wife's favorite, and the hunan beef was overcooked and dry, my favorite. This is the 2nd time we've been disappointed with the food and probably will go elsewhere from here on out. Even the bbq pork spareribs weren't as good as they used to be, one of my favorite appetizers. read more

We hadn't been here since Covid, but had a taste for their Chinese chicken salad, so we came in for lunch. There is an old saying that says "You can't go home again." This definitely applies here. The salad was very small, commensurate with a small price. It consisted of lettuce, carrots, crispy won ton pieces and a couple of pieces of green onions. No water chestnuts, no slivered almonds, no mandarin oranges and a minuscule amount of chicken. We also ordered the Ha Gow dim sum. Which was very good. The waiter was terse, not friendly, and couldn't say more than a couple of words. I fully realize now why we hadn't been back for so long. The fortune cookies were great! read more

Unnecessary long review incoming: I will say this going out to eat really has become a luxurious privilege now so we get very picky with what we spend money on this place has been on my radar for a while. We got soup, a large appetizer, broccoli mushroom and rice, it was all delicious and decently priced. Besides the food I think the main reason we will be back is the server Mark - what a kind and personable man. I'm a sucker for great customer service. Updated review will come when we go back and try the Peking duck. High expectations! Thanks, Mark! read more

Really sad to make this a one star. We have been ordering from here for years. After the remodel we came back and even though we felt the food was okay still was our go to because everyone is always really nice and friendly. But the most recent visit was not good at all. Service was good and friendly but the food left us very unhappy. We went in for lunch and ordered three meals. Two were fine but my lemon chicken was more like lemon rubber. The breast, which I confirmed it was suppose to be breast meat, was not chicken- not sure what it was! I was trying to cut and it would not. I tried a piece prior to trying to cut and was like chewing on rubber. So sad! If something else is replacing chicken ( the newest lab meat????), I hope they stop soon. Not sure if I will want to go back, and honestly very sad about it. The places to eat now have been reduced tremendously! Food not what it used to be. read more

Listen...Chinese food is a very personal thing. Most people tend to be tied to their OG plates no matter where they go. That being said, I'm a pretty Basic B when it comes to my Chinese food. Do I like curry? Yes, I do, but that's usually reserved for my Thai and Indian outings. Grand Panda's reputation precedes itself and today I decided to drop in for lunch. Dining in, the place is surprisingly small, but the ambiance is nice. Still, you can tell they probably do a lot of takeout orders. I was a little bummed the sesame chicken was not on their lunch menu. Their sizzling rice soup only comes in servings of two or above and since I wanted to try an entree, I had to let that dream go as well. So! Here's what I got: Mongolian Beef Egg Roll Steamed Rice Chinese Chicken Salad Hot & Sour Soup That Hot & Sour Soup was perfectly warmed and had just enough spice to trigger my hiccups. Respect. The Mongolian Beef was more like Mongolian Steak! Great flavor, THICK morsels of meat; a little chewier, but definitely worth the trade-off. Boss. There were also complimentary wonton chips at the table, which is ALWAYS a pleasure. Lunch was great. Stuffed myself silly for less than $25 (tip included). One night, I'm coming back to destroy their dinner menu with my belly. read more

Grand Panda - The Mongolian Beef lunch plate (after a few bites). - Chinese Near Me - Santa Clarita, California

Been coming here for years delicious food and good quality. I would highly recommend this place

I like several dishes there. They were good Mapo Tofu. But the wait is too long to get my food ordered and picked up

Hot tea, steamed dumplings, hot and sour soup, and vegetable mu shi are my go too's. Calm atmosphere. Quick service.

Our family loves this place! The service is fast and very friendly, the food is delicious, and the decor is understated and classy. Bathrooms are clean and plenty of parking. We usually come for lunch to take advantage of their lunch special. They always give you crackers and plum sauce as an appetizer which is great. The egg flower soup and hot and sour soup is really delicious! This time we ordered walnut shrimp, kung pao chicken, Mongolian beef, and Imperial Shrimp. All lunch specials come with a small, refreshing salad, an orange slice, fried or white rice, & a soup. Totally worth it! I would recommend this place to anyone who's hungry. read more

We had a early dinner at the Grand Panda on Seco Canyon and Copperhill Road. There were many people waiting for their take out orders, but we didn't have to wait long to get a booth. The food, and service, even on New Year's Eve was wonderful. We were able to take food home for another meal, because the portions were so ample. read more

Best Chinese food in Santa Clarita Valley by far. So good every single time. Piping hot. Haven't tried something that I didn't like from there. Service is great, everyone is very kind. Highly recommend. read more

I bought Mongolian beef from this place for special event. We found hair in a food which was disgusting. Los Angeles health department Santa Clarita district needs to check this place, specially kitchen. Also I want to complain about customer service, workers don't speak English and they are super rude specially front desk guy. I don't recommend this place at all! read more

Grand Panda - Chinese Near Me - Santa Clarita, California

excellent food. I have never had a bad meal or service! Very pleasurable inside. Whenever I am near the restaurant I go eat.

After half a year, I returned to find they'd added new dim sum and roast duck to their menu. Most importantly, the restaurant no longer had that weird smell in the air, so I could finally enjoy the food again. I recommend trying half a roast duck, and for dim sum, go for the shaomai and soup dumplings. read more

Absolutely Horrible Experience - Avoid at All Costs I don't normally leave reviews, but this was one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. Our server, an older man of Asian descent with short grayish hair, was extremely rude and unprofessional from start to finish. There were only two groups in the entire restaurant, yet he barely interacted with us beyond taking our order and dropping off our food. We ordered just three dishes and three waters, but he never once checked in to see if we needed anything. The real issue began when we got the check. My brother paid and stepped out to grab cash from his car while I stayed seated inside. The server came over, looked at the bill, and began insisting repeatedly that I hadn't left a tip. I explained that I wasn't the one paying, but he didn't care. He said, "You need to leave a tip and gratuity because I work very hard," then rushed to grab a pen and stood there staring at me until I wrote something down. Feeling incredibly uncomfortable, I wrote a small tip just to get him to stop and left the restaurant as quickly as I could. Shockingly, he then followed me outside into the parking lot, yelling that the tip "wasn't enough" and telling me never to come back--only to order takeout next time. At that point, I told my brother not to go back in at all. I've never experienced such harassment or unprofessional behavior from a server. This place clearly doesn't value its customers or basic respect. 100% the worst experience I've ever had at a restaurant. Avoid this place completely. read more

The waiter we got treated us like royalty! It's either. that's the bare minimum since places have bad service in America or he is truly one of a kind! Also the food was amazing! Best Chinese food in Santa Clarita! Also the portions are huge and amazing for someone who needs leftovers because they don't have enough time to home cook a meal everything your hungry! read more

Consistantly good Chinese Food. We always get take-out here. It's gotten better the last year or so. The new Dim-Sum items and Duck are just ok. I've had much better in Chinatown for less $$$. Everything else is great! read more

We were sorry to see the restaurant take a pause, and were excited to see that it had reopened. We've been customers there for many, many years. The wife and I gave it a try tonight as we had heard conflicting information about "same owners" vs "new owners". Ownership: NOT the original family ownership. The owners of this restaurant are the same ones that own the Lyons Ave location. Many of the original servers are still there, though. Lyons is a 3-1/2 Star restaurant. Remodel: Minor remodel, floorplan is still the same but carpeting in the dining areas has been replaced with composite wood floors. It looks very nice and will be easier to keep clean. Some changes with tables. For those of you who are familiar with the entry, the wall on the right has been mostly removed. This opens up the entrance, but reduced wait seating and has people standing next to tables where people are eating, plus they lost seating on the other side of the wall for dining. No big deal. Menu: Same menu as far as we can remember. Prices are up about 20-25%. Food: Oh-oh. Wor Wonton Soup used to be served in a large bowl at the table and spooned into the two bowls for eating. Now, delivered in two small bowls. Broth lacked flavor, hardly any chicken or vegetables. Soup was lukewarm. Downgrade. Rice: Served cold. We didn't eat it, but took it home for the microwave tomorrow. Vegetable Soft Noodles: Good, smokey flavor but served lukewarm. Went home for the microwave. Mu Shi Pork: Used to be prepared tableside. Now brought from the kitchen already wrapped up. The wraps were fairly thick, used to be paper thin. The filling tasted good, but had hardly any vegetables. Was a mix of warm to lukewarm. Made us wonder if they were pre-made. Downgrade. End result is: Decent flavor but most of the food was not hot at all. Not sure if it's a return spot. Will probably try them again once they get past their "just opened" stage. read more

Ho ho ho, friends! Gather 'round the digital fireplace while I regale you with a tale of Christmas Eve cheer at the Grand Panda in Saugus. Picture this: seven hungry souls, spanning generations like a gingerbread family, bellies rumbling like reindeer in the night. We were on a mission - a Christmas Eve tradition as old as Santa's beard itself - a Chinese feast to celebrate the season! Now, let me tell you, finding a table on Christmas Eve is no walk in Wakefield Court. But the Grand Panda, bless their cotton socks, worked their magic. Extra folding tables sprouted like festive mushrooms, chairs materialized from thin air, and soon we were nestled in, our excitement bubbling like eggnog. But oh, the drama! Just as we were digging into our dumplings, in swoops a family, puffed up like overstuffed stockings, noses wrinkled at the sight of our humble folding chairs. "Folding chairs? On Christmas Eve?" they huffed, their voices like Scrooge before his redemption. They demanded a table fit for royalty, forgetting, it seemed, the true meaning of the season. Let's just say, they learned a lesson in humility that night, courtesy of the Grand Panda's cheerful staff and their overflowing plates of deliciousness. Speaking of deliciousness, let me tell you, the food was a symphony of flavors that would make even the Grinch tap his foot. The sweet and sour pork glistened like sugared plums, the house fried rice was fluffy as a snowman's beard, the dry sauté green beans snapped like crisp winter air, and the imperial shrimp, oh, the imperial shrimp! They were jewels of the sea, each bite a burst of ocean-fresh joy. But the real stars of the night were the Grand Panda's staff. They hustled like elves in Santa's workshop, their smiles as warm as a crackling fire. They juggled tables, calmed grumbles (both from the entitled family and our own rumbling tummies), and made us feel like the most important guests in the restaurant, even if we were seated at a folding table. So, dear friends, if you're looking for a Christmas Eve meal that's as heartwarming as a Hallmark movie, with food that's fit for a feast and service that sparkles like tinsel, I urge you to waddle your way to the Grand Panda in Saugus. Just remember, leave your entitlement at the door, and bring a big appetite and a grateful heart. Merry Christmas, and may your holidays be filled with deliciousness and cheer! P.S. To the entitled family, humbug to you! May your future tables always be wobbly and your fortune cookies always blank. Learn the joy of gratitude, and maybe then, just maybe, you'll deserve a proper table next Christmas Eve. read more

We eat here for Christmas and it is a wonderful celebration! Always excellent food. The waiters are friendly and the booths are comfortable. read more

Always good. Not the best but good. A good late night oops we forgot dinner kinda place. Derives is always a bit choppy.

We have always enjoyed coming to Grand Panda, in fact my wife and I have been dining here for over 25 years. The dining experience is top class with some of the most polite and well experienced waiters you will ever find. The food in my opinion is 5 stars and being delivered to your table in a timely manner piping hot. The prices are very reasonable and the size of the meal is definitely enough. I highly recommend Grand Panda to everyone. read more

Excellent service very friendly. Great for families. The food was delicious. Perfect portions.

Once again, these five stars are well deserved. In case those of you didn't know, Grand Pandas past owners sold the restaurant to folks that were already working there for over a decade or more. That being said, the new owners have upped the game, the service is outstanding and so is the food. Today, we walked in and they had some daily specials posted and we got their pork chop special, IMO, it was made Vietnamese style and was absolutely friggin wonderful. I will get that every time I go there now. I posted the picture of the special menu and they said that you can order that anytime even if you don't see it on the menu. I recommend anyone that has not been here to check the place out and they still have wonderful, very reasonable lunch specials. Great job to all @ Grand Panda. read more

Ever since the first time I came here about 15 years ago, to the food I had tonight, this place is tasty and very consistent. The food is always what you expect. The portion size is great, and the people who work here are the best. I go to this one as well as the one on Lyons. Food is the same but the people at this one really make the experience. Always friendly, happy,and helpful. My favorite thing on the menu is chicken with cashew nuts but you can't go wrong with anything. I am glad they didn't close down as this will always be my first choice in Valencia read more

I used to live by the Newhall location and discovered they were also near my new house. The food was great as usual but what stood out was the extremely friendly staff. I watched them all saying hello to all the customers and then they did the same to me! I ordered food to go so I was sitting off to the side, and they found me. The order was filled perfectly and the food was great! read more

Please don't take phone orders if you can't fill them. We placed an order at 4:40. You said it would be ready in 45 minutes. We came to pick it up 45 minutes after we called and waited for another 45 minutes at the restaurant and had to leave because there were 20 people in front of us. And no food was going out. read more

Always great! Was worried because I can't have sugar now. Got steamed veggies with tofu and sautéed string beans with chicken! Blood sugar stayed stable! So glad I don't have to give it up! read more

The price has gone up big time. Owner is lying. They keep jacking the price it seems every time I'm in there. Their To-Go containers have gotten smaller and when you dine in they give you even less than if you got the food to go. Try another Chinese Food place is my suggestion. Their staff is rude and they don't understand the English Language much at all. read more

So far the best Chinese food in the SCV and AV. Closest to Chinatown Chinese food as you'll get on this side.

Everything is fantastic here. We had the Lemon chicken, beef with broccoli and garlic shrimp. But their new secret weapon is garlic chicken wings with basil. Our waiter, Mark, always gives us great recommendation. read more

Grand Panda has become our most frequent Chinese food destination. My wife usually gets the pan fried noodles, my absolute go to is the lemon chicken (best breaded boneless chicken breast you'll find anywhere!) The waiter "made" me try the sweet & pungent chicken... it's good. Useful note: we often call in our order and pick it up, they pack the food well, and are generous with sauces and anything else you request. read more

We took our daughter and her 3 kids to Grand Panda tonight since we enjoyed it so much last time we went. Mark was our waiter last time and remembered us. He is so dear and attentive. He even gave the kids a treat and he was not even our waiter this time. From now on, we will only ask for him. He took such great care of us. The food was once again delicious and huge portions. read more

This restaurant is a STAPLE in Santa Clarita. I'm so happy they reopened. My family's been coming here after church for years. My family and I have a favorite booth right in the middle of the restaurant. It's always clean and the food never takes too long. Their pan fried noodles and kung pao chicken is my favorite. When I order take out, I have lunch for DAYS. I love the staff here, always so kind and accommodating. For the price point and quality of food I wish I good give more than five stars :) read more
