Panda Express

I saw online that this was a historic Chinese American cafe from the 1900s that was shutting down…read moreso we wanted to give it a visit before. The food was miss all around. Some dishes were too salty, some were too bland, very greasy. The flavors had all one dimension so I quickly got bored of the taste. Many of us couldn't finish our food. It didn't feel worth $15. The service was also disappointing. It took us a half and hour to get seated and an hour to get our waters. There's apparently only one waitress ever who seemed very overwhelmed and unhappy to be at work. It also took a while to flag her down to ask for the check. The ambiance is also eerie. The taxidermy is outdated. There was no music. There seemed to be no good airflow in the restaurant. I don't mean to just write a review to be cruel. But I do understand why this restaurant is going out of business. And honestly the food, ambiance, and service all need a fresh restart.

We were very hopeful that the chow mien would live up to the hype of "old style". It is the closest…read morewe have had, but it lacked the variety of vegetables and the sauce was lacking "something". Don't get me wrong, it was good, just not what we were hoping for. Now the egg foo yong was excellent. The only thing I would ask for is more gravy. We really love the gravy and they just wasn't quite enough of it. All in all it was a good meal, large serving and the service was excellent.

I've also tried their Sweet and Sour Chicken, General Chicken, Mongolian Beef, Fish with Black Bean Sauce, Pork and Green Beans, BBQ Pork and Snow Peas, Broccoli Beef, Combination Pan Fried Noodles, Salt and Pepper Fish, Salt and Pepper Pork, Salted Fish and Chicken Fried Rice, Beef Chow Fun, and even some of their dim sum items like egg tarts.

The flavor is there, but I think the execution in the kitchen was a bit off. The meat is marinated, so it can burn easily--I know this because I cook this same dish at home all the time. The meat is supposed to cook on top of the onions so the sugar doesn't char. Making a few quick adjustments to the cooking method would significantly improve the dish because the baseline flavor is already good. On another note, the service is great. The staff is extremely helpful. The host noticed I didn't order a drink and offered me a cup of water right away; little details like that go a long way. The restaurant is clean, and to top it off, the same person who took care of me made sure to say thank you as I was leaving. I haven't tried their other dishes yet, but I'll definitely give them a shot next time I'm in the area.

Seriously what is up with the serving sizes here? SMH every time I come here the meat portions get smaller and smaller. Tonight I came and got a bowl with the Orange Chicken and Chowmein and when I got home is when I saw there was maybe 3 pieces of chicken and the chowmein was mostly big chunks of the vegetables.

Prices are in the mid range, affordable for what you get. The dining area is small, with only a few tables, but the staff was very friendly during our visit. I'm not sure about the negative reviews mentioning service; perhaps things have changed, but our experience was completely positive, staff was super friendly, helpful and welcoming.

When I was almost halfway through my macaroni salad, I came across a thin piece of metal. I was absolutely terrified, especially thinking about what could have happened if I had swallowed it.

Black Bear Diner came to mind immediately. When we all arrived, we entered and were warmly welcomed and seated quickly. The menu offers breakfast, lunch, and dinner all day! Something for everyone. And the food was really good. What was also really good was the service. The vibe in the place is so fun, too, what with the forest and bear motif carried throughout the whole restaurant. The team working here did everything possible to make our experience positive. I would definitely recommend this Black Bear Diner to anyone looking for a spot that's great for kids, teens, adults, and seniors! I'll be back.

These hash browns are nice and crispy on the top and soft and potatoey underneath. These hash browns are on the thicker side, but I thoroughly enjoyed them. The rest of the food experience at Black Bear was also good. The eggs were cooked correctly to my order of medium well and the portions here are more generous than other diners in the area. If you're a fan of thicker cut bacon, Black Bear is the place for you. I'm more of a thin and crispy bacon guy, but if you like a girthier slice of bacon, then Black Bear has got you covered. On the sweeter end of the breakfast spectrum, the waffles and pancakes were on par with what I would expect from a diner in town. The waffle is a bit more crispy and thin than you'd expect, but the inside still had a nice softness to it. The pancakes are hearty and will fill you up. It would have been nice if they were a little fluffier and had even more chocolate chips in it (in the case of the chocolate chip pancake). The ambiance in the restaurant is pure Black Bear. There are black bears all over the place and the decor is very woody - like the diner was found in the middle of a forest somewhere. Service was adequate. Overall Black Bear Diner is a solid choice for breakfast or lunch in the town of Woodland. It's comparable to the other morning diners. If coming for dinner, you'll have to go with another review!
