    a plate of noodles and a hot dog
    Trinh H.

    For $6.75 during lunch time, you can't beat the portion size! The meal hit every spot for me whenever I crave Chinese-American food and I'm so glad my coworkers introduced it to me! I got the L1 (I believe it's the Lo Mein) and it comes with an egg roll, choice of rice (white or fried), and choice of soup (egg drop, hot and sour, wonton). The egg roll and Lo Mein I definitely enjoyed. Aside from that, I wish their wonton soup was richer as it just tasted like water + chicken bouillon was 2 skimpy wontons, and their rice was very bland (even though I ordered the fried rice). Otherwise, for the value of it all, I'm pretty content! Also, if you order over the phone, make sure you have them confirm your order! We ordered for 4 people this past week and they messed up on my order (I ordered shrimp and got chicken instead - no biggie since I didn't pay extra for it but you still want what you paid for!).

    Peking chicken with side of lo mein
    Jasmine H.

    Was craving Lo Mein and wanted to try a new place. The peking chicken was different than i was expecting. but very good. the orange chicken was great. it was ordered "light" on heat (spice). and the kids meal was ordered with fried rice but they substituted white when they ran out of fried. It was the end of the night and im not going to make a stink about them making a whole batch of rice just for a kids meal. My three year old preferred to dip her chicken in the sauce so i was glad it came on the side. I guess they know kids can be picky. I appreciated that. We all shared and tried everything. And the portions were quite large. there are definitely leftovers. The broccoli was fresh and perfectly cooked. it was soft through but held its shape and wasnt over cooked or droopy. The fried biscuits were so fluffy and delicious. Our order was for delivery. We live across town from the restaurant. Considering our food was made fresh and to order and we are a distance. im fine with the 50min wait for my food to arrive via delivery. It traveled well. Was tightly packed. Neat and secure. Came with forks and sauce packets. not gonna lie i was a bit sad there were no chop sticks or fortune cookies. we placed online order through website. transaction was smooth. Food tasted great.

    If it's delicious, quality Chinese food you seek then look no further than Lucky Panda. After coming here for several years, I have never been disappointed. The portions are large and they don't skimp on the proteins, especially in the fried rice and noodle entrees. Even the side order of fried rice includes plenty of veggies, which a lot of other places don't provide. They really give you quite a bit of food for the price. I always get take out orders which are hot and ready to go in about 20-25 minutes, so I can't speak for the delivery service.

    Orange Chicken Special

    Delicious! First time trying it out and it was great! I ordered online and ordered chow mein, thinking it was noodles, well it isn't here! however since they knew I wanted noodles they quickly whipped up the chicken lo mein for us! We will be back! My only suggestion is giving dipping sauce with the spring rolls!

    General Tso's Shrimp Special
    Courtney D.

    I rarely get Chinese food anymore and decided to place a delivery order and it was so worth it! Huge portions and very flavorful food. I ate half for dinner and the second half for lunch the next day. The shrimp was very fresh and seasoned well. The noodles were not greasy and the perfect texture.

    We went around 12:30pm and there were people waiting. The lady that checked us in said it was a 30…read moreminute wait with 2 parties ahead of us. As we were waiting, we noticed that 4-5 tables were done eating and paid their bills. All got up and left, the staff quickly cleaned the tables. The cleaned tables were empty for another 15 minutes. The lady that took our names down took a while to call the next customers. Seems like we were waiting just to wait...she sat one party down and waited another 10 minute to sit the next group... anyways, after we waited for a good 40 minutes, we were finally called to be seated. Sat down and was immediately served with water and took our order down. Time for the food review: Chicken popcorn - nice crisp and texture, but lacking flavor. Felt like it needed a dipping sauce. Pork lard rice - disappointing, bland Pork intestine with green mustard - this dish was okay.. Crispy garlic salted fish - fish was nicely fried and flavor was good. Probably the best dish so far Crispy pork chop - this is the reason why we came here.. we wanted to find a dish like May Ice cream. Unfortunately, this was a huge disappointment. The pork chop was extremely salted. From the skin to the pork itself. Walnut shrimp - this dish was foul. Who puts sprinkles on the side?! Tasted like I was eating an ice cream shop. The shrimp was also dry. Overall, not worth going and waiting. Food was lacking.

    FYI the old reviews are for a previous restaurant or different location, unsure. This review is for…read moreImperial Feast which opened August 2025 next to z.Tao in Plano. Came during the soft opening in September 2025 with excited expectations based on what we've heard, hoping to find a new go to Taiwanese spot. Unfortunately we didn't find what we were looking for. I admit this was the soft opening and things may improve, and for their sake I hope they do. Biggest issues for us were lack of flavor in the meat and multiple proteins being overcooked. The sauces they used had the flavor but it seems like the meat just wasn't given the time to marinate because the meat itself was bland. That coupled with proteins being a bit dry from being overcooked and you don't have a good combo. If they can tweak their prep process to let the meat marinate then it would solve most of the problems though. The best dish was the fried pork chop rice by far. A bit on the sweeter side so it just depends on how you like it. The bok choy it came with was basically raw though had more crunch than the pork chop. Service was also a mixed bag. The server was super nice and helped give us recs but it just seemed like they were still getting the hang of working in a restaurant. A glass of water got some food in it so the server took it away but they never brought us a new one. Again, soft opening so I give that some grace, but food has to be more on point for a new restaurant to make it. So all in all, there are definitely some kinks to work through for them. Normally I wouldn't write a review for soft opening but given that there are old reviews here plus food quality missed the mark more than I think it should've, I think people on Yelp should get a heads up.

The soup dumplings ended up having a sweet taste in the soup. The hot and sour soup was not sour at all, and I ended up, doctoring it a bit by asking for some vinegar. I would highly recommend against people ordering this if they're expecting the authentic Asian flavor profile. The beef noodle soup ordered medium spicy was not spicy at all and so next time if I ever go back, I'll have to get their extra spicy. And their tofu noodle soup did not have nearly as much tofu as the picture seemed to make us believe. The one thing I did really like was the wontons in the wonton soup so if I come back, I'll probably just be ordering that. Overall, I think I was expecting a classic Taiwanese flavor profile and was left wanting more.
