I enjoy Happy Panda, mainly for the nostalgia- I grew up going here and so I am a little sentimental about it. The food is solid - not the best Chinese food I've ever had, but it satisfies that craving for me. Their lunch specials are unbeatable and for dinner, we always order the fried rice. It's odd that there's bean sprouts in it and you have to request egg. I love the BBQ pork so I always get a side and choose that as the protein for the fried rice. The staff is always so nice every time we go in too! read more

Happy Panda Restaurant - Pork fried rice add egg - Chinese Near Me - Beaverton, Oregon

The steamed dumplings and the chicken with broccoli were bland BUT the Beef with Broccoli was absolutely horrible. I took one bite and spit it out. The meat is disgusting in texture and it tastes like it went bad days ago. I'll be sure to never eat here again and I would warn anyone asking about this restaurant. read more

I would like to say we been coming for about 20 years and I want to say food is good. My favorite is zeshuan shrimp it has been for 20 years. the staff is friendly. I would love to give 5 stars but they really got to do an upgrade on remodeling make it more modern get rid of little extra stuff, and front door got to be replaced and more welcoming clean too. Also I like they added the table cloths but get plain white no more designs so it don't look to overwhelming. But I still love this place and I will still drive 45 minutes to eat here. read more

Talked to the waitress and apprently they got a NEW OWNER. Food was much better than last time. Would come back again and try other things that they improved. read more

This is our go-to for sit down Chinese American food. The General Tso's is perfection. Food is served family style and portions are generous. read more

Consistently bad. Of the 5 dishes we ordered.. all were not good. Also, the turn of the A/C at 730pm... why?? I suppose the guests comfort isn't important . I won't go back. Waitress was nice. read more

Easy online ordering via Heartland app or website. Nice selection of dishes to choose from. Food is tasty & plentiful. Chow mein was different than what I'm used to but had lots of meat. Curbside pickup easy & quick. read more

Happy Panda used to be reliably good enough. However, since the ownership change a year to two back, it has been very inconsistent on food quality. We judge Chinese food starting from the Hot and Sour Soup, and yesterday's offering was awful. It was dark brown (not as we're used to), and smelled nasty, something like a mix of burnt coffee and cigarette smoke. I had to cap the takeout container before tossing it, to avoid the nasty smell permeating our kitchen. The fried wontons were more plentiful than we're used to, but very plain and not nicely crisped. The entrees were just ok, more or less as usual recently, which is not as fresh and robust as they were a few years back. About time for us to find a new regular Chinese takeout. read more

This was a surprise! it was Christmas eve and the wife and I were shopping and wanted a quick bite. My wife said some do Chinese take out as a tradition on Christmas eve. I scoffed at this... Boy was I wrong... We were able to get seated, as it was filling fast. We were in the front and could see the stacks of bags filled with orders and a steady line coming in! our food was out fast, and was delicious! the hot and sour was perfection. by the way, there were at least 100 people in and out for orders in our short time there! read more

Food was terrible! Sweet and sour chicken was so hard my Son couldn't eat it. Our server was really nice. But no one cared about the food quality. Left hoping what I did eat wouldn't make me sick! Never again. read more

Went there for lunch. Usually it's about 5 to 10 min wait and food is right out. This time we had been waiting 20 to 25 min (only two other customers in restaurant) there were three employees at the front counter chatting with another person not sure if it was a customer. When the server saw I was standing, she asked if she could help. I asked, do you know how much longer it's going to be because I am on lunch. She said oh I gave that order to them a few minutes ago, eventhough she had took our order almost half hour earlier. She said they should be working on it. She called herself going to check, we had 4 meals ordered. She came out with one of them. Went back and amost immediately came out with the rest. The plates seemed to have been sitting there. Not only was it brought to us late, the chicken in our Genral Tsao seemed like it was fried the day before or days ago. We were very disappointed as we usualy enjoy going there. read more

Amazing service and delicious food!! Gluten free options are amazing and the family has a family member who is also gluten free so they know what they're doing on making sure cross contamination isn't a concern. Their restaurant is so pretty and I love the artwork and design of their dining area! Always a good day when I get to eat at or order from Happy Panda! read more

I am gonna go ahead and say who I am and how I feel on this review perion this review. Please do not judge me because I know what I am saying isn't the most sought after opinion to some foodies here on Yelp... Now I love an authentic dish a small hole in the wall from somebody that is sharing their family's experience with you on a plate. They're showing you everything that made their childhood special or something they did with their family to make it amazing... But when it comes to Chinese food food... I want some serious Americanized overly sugary white meat chicken abomination on a plate... So if you like authentic Chinese food I don't know if this is the place for you I really don't because all I ordered was sugary Americanized foodTake so if you like authentic Chinese food I don't know if this is the place for you I really don't because all I ordered was sugary Americanized food. I actually watched a Video on why food was created like this early in Chinese food American culture. It was a lack of ingredients and cooking with what was on hand to make what they have now known as "Chinese food" Started with that said ever so long windedly this place was amazing I love a good crispy fried breaded piece of chicken diPped in nothing but sugar syrup and this place hit the mark definitely great pot stickers definitely create Lomein a is Lomein AKA chowmein... All servings weren't huge but also weren't small definitely enough to get you in a nice glycemic food coma. Is it still hunting around for my next favorite spot after my last place closed down during covid and this could fit the bill. read more

This is a long standing restaurant that recently change in ownership and, after being disappointed in the food flavor and quality under the last ownership, we tried them again recently. OMG! So much better! The food and service are like they used to be - so good! And they upgraded the atmosphere a bit too. Let's help get the word out to increase their business. Don't hesitate - go eat at Happy Panda! read more

Food was fantastic but watch out if you order online as FoodGoogle somehow got involved and we were charged twice!! Still haven't resolved this problem with them. Be careful ordering online read more

My family and I have been going to this restaurant for 20 years, and I have a lot of great memories having Sunday dinners here. I'm not sure if they have a different management in the last two years or so but the food quality has definitely gone down tremendously and the recipes just don't taste the same. I usually don't like leaving reviews that are not good but this place is honestly a hard pass from now on. The food looks great, but it tastes like your local grocery stores deli Chinese food. The food does not taste fresh it taste like it's been sitting under a warming lamp for hours, almost like if you're going to a cheap buffet that has a little bit of everything and nothing is "specialized". The service is great, the people are absolutely awesome working there, so the 3 stars are for the food taste and quality. read more

This place is OK; but honestly my review is more like 2.5 stars than a full three. Very bland, mediocre food and awkward ambiance. There is a 50/50 chance I'll ever return. read more

I was quite amazed how in few short minutes these people could take marginal quality ingredients and with practiced incompetence and turn them in to an Inedible mess that defied comparison to the menu description. Yuk! read more

I gotta stop ordering food here. The general tso was unseasoned chunks of breast meat so the flavor didn't get through. lots of bland meat inside. The hot and sour was neither not nor sour and the spring rolls were inedibly bad. Find me a place that sells those won ton strips though. My wife really loves these. read more

I stopped and got lunch here today and it was one of the better experiences. I have the green beans and chicken and I thought it was pretty good. I thought the waitress did a good job as well. The inside is a little dated but I'm not there for fancy. The food and staff are more important to me. I'd recommend it from my experience and I'll try it for carry out. read more

Walked in and ordered to-go. The lady who took my order was friendly, helpful, and efficient. Food came out very quickly. Portions were good and food was still piping hot when I got it home. - Hot & Sour soup and spring rolls were good. - Beef Street Noodles - This was good, but XX-Spicy isn't very spicy. I can't imagine there's much spice at all to the X or Regular spicy levels. If you like spicy you should probably go with the XXX-Spicy. I know I will next time. - General Tso's Chicken - The sauce was a little overly sweet than I'm used to and reminded me more of Orange Chicken, but the chunks of chicken were big and tasty. I'll definitely go back to try other dishes. read more

Wonderful food and excellent service!! Love the wonton soup and the sweet &sour pork.

My family has been going here for over 20 years as well. I ordered online for delivery & was very pleased. A family favorite is the Wor Won Ton soup! It's so good it's like medicine if your not feeling great. Keep up the excellent work! Thanks again read more

I'm not fond of leaving poor reviews about businesses, but the food was so bad (it tasted rancid) that I felt compelled to share our experience so others can avoid experiencing similar disappointment. This was, without a doubt, the single worst meal I've ever experienced my life. We spit out the few bites we took and threw the meal in the garbage. They say pictures are worth a thousand words, and so I took a picture of the Orange Beef we ordered. As you can see, the beef was actually grey in color! If you think that looks and sounds appetizing, be grateful that you did not eat this meal. It was disgusting. I thought long and hard about whether I should write this review or not, but felt that if I'd read a diner having an experience similar to our own I would avoid eating at this restaurant, which is exactly what you should do. read more

Ok, you want fast Chinese food that is hearty and yummy go to happy panda! The service was great. We couldn't decide what to get and the recommendations they made were just great! I can't say that they have anything bad! We've tried almost everything and wow just wow!!! read more

Extremely friendly & helpful in my selections. My Kung Pao Chicken was one of the best I've eaten. I'd go back again. Clean & well lite

I'm a little biased because this is my neighborhood Chinese restaurant, but I LOVE Happy Panda! Excellent selection, and their hot and sour soup is the one thing I get every time I go, even if I save it for another day. I can't not get it. We usually get it for pickup, but we've eaten in once. Disposable plate ware meant easy clean up. I definitely recommend the Happy Panda for your next takeaway craving! read more

I've eaten here since pre Covid and it's always been kinda dumpy. Not saying don't eat here I have but I definitely am not shocked by the food violations yelp has posted. One time during Covid we had them deliver & they brought a cockroach in with the food. We waited over 2 yrs to try it again but only in person cause we didn't want them bringing bugs to our house. I honestly can't say I'll miss this place when I move it's edible but just barely. The staff is friendly but again in no real hurry to do anything. I've seen questionable food safety myself & I really only go cause my family member likes it. I only eat the pork & white rice and get the hot tea. I can't really speak for much but their chicken & pork that's in breading is always incredibly grisly & fatty. It's not exactly worth the $. The eatery itself looks dated & like the way they keep making money is by simply not reinvesting it into the business at all. It could use a major overhaul & I hadn't seen the one guy who used to work here prior to covid. They do deliver and are quick but it's your call. I've not gotten sick but all it takes is one time. read more

Ordered the orange chicken and the col Tso chicken and there was absolutely no flavor , they usually are some what spicy but they were so bland. We also got beef chow mein and the same thing the beef was tender but no flavor , It will be the last time I eat here . read more

As of the date of this review the menu is deceiving. The business lists a picture of the fried wontons as filled. Their menu just says "no meat" based off their picture the seem filled but they are not. read more

This was my family and I first time ever eating here while visiting Oregon. The food was super delicious and the staff was super friendly. We ordered the bbq pork as an appetizer which we were not aware it is cooked and served cold. They ended up heating it up for us. We also got the Panda Deluxe Fried Rice, Panda Deluxe Chow Mein, Orange Peel Chicken, and Beef with Broccoli. We will definitely be stopping by again in our future visit or before we head back home from our trip. read more

Disgusting!! I ordered the chicken and broccoli which was to be ONLY WHITE meat chicken breast. I guess I should have specified I did not want WHITE MEAT CHICKEN FAT! I didn't eat a piece of meat as it was all covered in fat. I'm not even sure my dog will eat it. My husband got kung pow chicken and it was the same nasty chicken but his was misty all water chestnuts. This was a complete waste of $30 bucks! Don't make the same mistake! To add insult to injury even our Fortune cookies were nasty and stale as hell!! read more

Ordered delivery. Food was "sealed" so driver couldn't check to make sure everything was there... it wasn't. Missing spring rolls and fried rice. The fried rice we got for the other entree was not fully cooked and had maybe two pieces of egg. Otherwise, it was rice with soy sauce.. and hard. The hot and sour soup was bland and sour only. The orange chicken tasted like two day old chicken dressed up with fresh sauce. The schezwan beef was ok, but had the same "old" meat taste as the chicken did. My daughter thought the yakisoba beef was good, I didn't try it. We haven't eaten here since years ago when we had a similar experience where we ordered to go and they forgot food that time also. When we complained they got mad and acted like there was no way they made a mistake. They refused to send the food they forgot that time, so we didn't even bother asking this time. Needless to say, we are done with this place. Take my advice, the reviews are completely wrong. Save the money and go anywhere else. read more

Went there looking for a teriyaki place which was advertised on a big store front sign next to happy panda. As I walked up to the door under the teriyaki sign, it pointed me to this Chinese restaurant. That should have been my first clue. They have a lunch menu with a decent selection and it came out quick. Staff was fast and friendly. Those are about the only positives I can find. Food was bad, and the restaurant was dark and uninviting. I would not recommend. read more
