Really love this place. They had great Singapore noodles. It was really yummy. Service was quick, ambiance is great. Tons of parking outside and it is on my way to work/home so I will definitely come back for more. read more

I've always been happy with their takeout. Last week we ordered black bean chicken and hot n sour soup. It was so good and slightly spicy. Even the soup had a little heat. Kudos to the chef! read more

These folks are so nice! Kitchen willing to substitute sauces, adjust spice level on request. Menu is extensive with all the usual Peking and some Hunan dishes. One of my go-to lunch take-out spots. Some basic tables for eating in, but not really a date night kind of ambience. read more

Reliable standard Chinese takeout fare. Best items are Singapore noodles and kung pao chicken

Long time Chinese carry-out. Convenient location along rt 15/501. Great selection helpful staff.

House special soup is full of fresh veggies, shrimp, chicken, and pork in a light but tasty broth. It's what I crave when I'm a little under the weather. read more

Bad customer service the lady is rude! The food is disgusting and it's super expensive for the quality and amount of food you're given. For 2 orders of chicken wings with a sad egg roll and 2 sodas $35 the rice tasted like it was from yesterday. The chicken was salty and tiny wings only 5 little pieces of shrimp and they were soggy they tasted like water. read more

Panda Garden Chinese Restaurant - $35 for 2 plates chicken wings - Chinese Near Me - Chapel Hill, North Carolina

We've been eating here since they took over and got to know their whole family over time. We're moving to Greensboro so I feel the need to write a review. Panda Garden has been one of our go-to places for years. Always reasonable and delicious. A step above all other strip mall Chinese places. Hands down the best Lo Mein in the area. Trust me on this. I'm a noodle freak. They're always helpful, courteous, and friendly. Egg Drop, Wonton, and Hot & Sour soups are always on point. Fantastic Pork Dumplings steamed or fried. Very good Egg Rolls. We get Sweet & Sour Chicken and Sesame Chicken a lot as they never disappoint. I'm going to miss having them 5 minutes away. I wish them all the best. Try them, you won't be disappointed. read more

Rude, rushed, bad customer service. first time trying this place and it was a complete disappointment. Place is not clean enough to make me want to sit down for a meal. I got take out, food was awful. No flavor or taste. Chicken was hard & dry with sauce on top. My only positive was the large portion, enough for a second meal if it was ediable. STAY AWAY! read more

This has been my local go to quick Chinese joint for more than 20 years so I've eaten lots of stuff on the menu. I find their non-breaded chicken items to be the best they have to offer. Subgum Wonton is also a family favorite. I appreciate that they are willing to adjust anything on the menu within reason - milder for a spicy dish, add brocolli, etc. Just ask and they will try to accommodate you. read more

Good basic Chinese food. Consistent and fresh. We get it often and I am picky about Chinese food.

(This review is based off of my first experience) I moved here recently from Hawaii. I was craving something equivalent to Panda Express for many days. I was told that Panda Garden existed here so I came here immediately before a flight!!!! I ordered a combination plate of sesame chicken with pork fried rice + a small side of beef and broccoli to-go. I waited maybe about 10 minutes? This was exactly what I wanted. The food was really hot and tasted fresh. I'm very happy! My first experience here was great. Hopefully it stays the same c: Ill be coming back here, for sure. read more

See all

All bread and no chicken and the general tso is cold and the wonton soup tasted like dish water. read more

Panda Garden Chinese Restaurant - Generals chicken cold. - Chinese Near Me - Chapel Hill, North Carolina

Totally fine. It's just your run-of-the-mill American Chinese strip mall place, so no reason to judge it on any higher standard. Sesame chicken is fine, Singapore mai fun is fine, moo shu pork is above average and decent hot and sour soup. I've never eaten in and the place is not terribly clean looking but it's at a good price point and has never made me sick. Lunch specials were like 4.50 when I first went in 2004 but now they are like 8 bucks so that's a drag. Oh well. read more

I really wanted to love you, Panda. You're right around the corner from our house, but I just can't love you and that makes me sad. :-/ Our go-to for Americanized Chinese comfort food has long been China Wok in Carrboro.... which was great when I worked in that area. But now that I'm no longer there, I needed to find a new place to get our takeout fix. Unfortunately this is not it. The crab rangoons were pretty good. But everything else was just largely pretty bland. Hot and sour soup with zero spice? Why? I guess we'll still be schlepping over to Carrboro for good Chinese takeout and that's pretty disappointing. read more

We have been getting take-out @ Panda Garden for almost 10 yrs. Great food and great prices. Family owned business and always very nice. Their egg rolls are delicious. Very light instead of a doughy wrap of grease like I've had in some restaurants. We always get the Medium Chicken w/ mixed vegetables and order the noodles instead of rice. It's so much food (a lot of chicken) what my husband and I have it for two meals!! Their protection for COVID is outstanding. read more

It is all grease and cheap food. Good for drunk college students, but not for anyone else. Everything taste the same. The food is pretty terrible. If it isn't something like a frozen egg roll it is some sort of Chinese noodle fried in grease followed up with some cheap meat. Just dont do it it. Please dont. Your stomach will disown you. read more

First time trying them tonight. Solid Chinese food hits here. The staff were very friendly. They are take out only with a very good setup for COVID-19 protection. Give them a try! read more

Dirty small restaurant with rude customer service. The front desk woman's attitude is disgusting. Will never spend my hard earned money here. read more

Lunch specials 11-3 include soup (wonton, egg drop, or sour) and (no meat, plain) fried or white rice. $4.55-$4.75. Ready in 10 minutes. I'm a fan of chicken w garlic sauce, and Panda's is not spicy at all - just a heavy garlic flavor. Bonus points for not overwhelming the dish with mushrooms like so many other Chinese places. (They also give you the option of asking for any dish as spicy.) Convenient for Chatham County residents - off 15-501 right next to Lowe's Foods. read more

I love this place for a quick meal. The dishes I usually get are chicken and snow pea in a white sauce, egg drop soup, and pork fried rice. The white sauce is clear and delicate with great flavor. The soup is usually a perfect mix of yolk and egg white. I've had more flavorful pork fried rice... perhaps it needs onion or more onion. You can order dishes as small, medium, and large which drives the price down- for me. They make everything while you wait. Friendly but don't speak a lot which is fine. No home made sauces. That would be a nice change but I make them at home read more

Unless you're starving and all other places are closed you may check this out. All flavors are the same, no matter what dish you order it tastes the same. Interior is a little dirty and needs massive renovation or clean up. As I said, won't go unless I'm absolutely starving and all other locations are closed. Service is good and friendly. read more

Best Chinese in the area. Prices are reasonable, and service is pretty fast(usually less than fifteen minutes). They have had some off nights, but for cheap Chinese its still pretty good. We usually stick to our classic favorites sesame chicken, chicken and broccoli, and the crab rangoon. They always package everything in cut out cardboard boxes which is actually a great idea since everything is always nice and hot. It also makes cleanup easy. Good deal for the money if you are having that chinese food craving. read more

Went from glad to stunned in 3 visits, I'm always looking for a good Chinese place for lunch in the triangle area, I do service work so finding good anchor lunch spots is important, First day I was pleasantly surprised the general appearance I wasn't expecting more than ho hum lunch, but it was really good, Hunan chicken is different at every restaurant the version here was quite to my liken, So I came back the next day, again was happy with the flavor, Well a few days later I was back in the area and stopped in once again, this time when I ordered the same thing it rang up around a buck and a half higher, So when I questioned it and implied I had been over charged explaining how both days prior the price was 8.17 and why was it 9.73. the women flipped switch and went into a tirade about how she never over charged anyone in 15 years, nasty attitude and tone over a misunderstanding ! Absolutely unacceptable attitude and lack of manners over a simple misunderstanding, fried rice vs pork fried rice, I love Chinese food I will put up with a less than 96 sanitation grade, sticky tables and dirty floor, I will opt for a fountain drink because they cant properly keep sweet tea so it spoiled/tainted, but I will not put up with a nasty attitude and bad customer service for even the best food, I really did enjoy the Hunan chicken but I cannot be treated poorly over a simple misunderstanding, read more

I've always been a fan of this place! Their lo mein is classic and doesn't give any unpleasant surprises but very good. The highlight on the menu is their fried chicken wings. Though they are probably less of a Chinese food than American, they fit well in an order for the family and wow are they good. read more

I'm sorry that a lot of snobby rich people in the area downgrade this restaurant. The restaurant is run by really hard working young people who are working hard with smiles on their faces and make very fresh food. Tonight I placed an order and walked away to the grocery store when I came back the order was ready and the owner apologized because the sweet sour shrimp that I ordered I guess according to him comes with 11 shrimp but he only had 10 left and he offered me a dollar bill for the missing shrimp. This speaks volumes for a business, I would have not known the difference but he put himself on the line for one missing shrimp and offered me money for it which of course went into the tip jar. Please subsidize this business! read more

This place is everything wrong with Chinese food. The lunch specials have crept up to $8.10. Yet the food is lower quality than most. I got the pork lo mein. The pork piece were either small or fatty. The egg role is smaller and was burnt to a crisp. The rice was only thing they did not ruin. The wall paper is peeling off the wall and the tint is peeling off the windows. Maybe it wants to leave as much as I do. read more

This restaurant has the best and I mean the best shrimp egg foo young in the area. I've been going to Chinese restaurants in this area for over 30 years and I'm telling You the shrimp egg foo young here is great and I've traveled far trying to get this dish and I always come right back to this restaurant read more

The food was good, but not great. The broth for the wonton soup was bland, but the wontons were large, with generous filling, and they tasted great. The hot and sour soup was quite good. The egg rolls were above average--lots of filling. The fried dumplings were terrific, the best part of the meal. Finally, the house special lo-mein was under-sauced and didn't have much flavor. Panda Garden is conveniently located, and I will try the place again, for the dumplings if for no other reason. read more

The food was terrible. We threw out most of it. Greasy, stale tasting food. Staff were unfriendly and rude to us.

This may have been a bad night, but the hot and sour soup was mostly fat and liquid, and more spicy than at other similar restaurants. When I placed my order, they were already cleaning up, two hours before closing. They were quite polite and accommodating, but the soup was horrible. I threw most of it away. read more

I've never written a review before. I feel like it's necessary in this case. I've ordered from Panda Garden a half dozen times over the course of a year. On two occasions, it was quite good. On three occasions it was just ok, bordering on not great. Tonight, however, is the last time I order. I ordered General Tso's combination platter. It was terrible. My first bite, I felt something grind against my teeth. I thought, eh, that was gross, but I'm hungry. I ate a bit more, and several bites in it happened again. It felt like a shard of glass, or a shell of some sort. Harder than gristle... I don't know what it was. I don't think it was actually glass, or a shell. But it was just weird, and gross. Also, it tasted like the oil in the fryer was in extreme need of changing. Not only that, but the eggroll tasted off, and it was just your average, mass produced, eggroll. Hard to mess up. I barely ate, I'm still hungry, and I'm disappointed. My dog is also disappointed. read more

Definitely the worst Chinese food on the planet! The General Tso's chicken consisted of deep-fried chicken nuggets covered with what am sure was a commercially made sauce. It was sweet and had a metallic taste. There was no broccoli, peppers or any of the other ingredients served at most places. The soup that was supposed to be included with lunch specials was missing. The woman who took my order was curt and seemed almost annoyed by myself and other customers. In sum, an altogether lousy experience. read more

Tried Panda Garden for the first time tonight. My takeout order was prepared quickly and correctly, and tasted great. I got the healthy chicken and mixed vegetables for my wife, who described or as nice and fresh, and my broccoli beef was excellent. They have a few tables for in-house service, but I suspect the bulk of their business is takeout. I thought they did a fine job, and I'm glad to have found them. read more

Waited 15 minutes for lunch takeout... cook immediately began cooking (after I paid) what was his personal lunch. 15 minutes went by and the two cooks finally got up from their table and began cooking our food. Seriously? It's called customer service. read more

Been there over 5 times. It's a mixed bag. Moo Shu and Chicken Curry is actually pretty good. But the other dishes (Kung Pao, Garlic, etc) are often swimming in sauce. And if you ask for extra spicy don't expect it to be spicy. Soups are pretty good. Service is quick and they will gladly make adjustment like dropping onions and adding in green veggies instead. read more

Without a doubt, the WORST chinese food I've ever had! Kung Pao chicken was ALL celery and carrots. Counted 5 peanuts but they up for it with unsavory, white starchy sauce. No spice. Chicken was rubbery with bits of gristle and full of fat. Sweet and sour soup had a funky cabbage smell. Rice was served in a flat styrofoam plate and wet and clingy. My spring roll was soggy -- SOGGY! Dumped 2/3 of it. Honestly, save your money and go visit a foodcourt in an old airport in the midwest for better asian food! read more

Oh my. This was probably the worst Chinese food I have ever eaten. I was hesitant upon entering the restaurant when I noticed that the floor wasn't very clean, but I was pressed for time, and gave it a try. The staff person at the register was very rude and seemed to be bothered that we wanted to place an order. A special request about the soup was met with a sigh and "k." No smile or thank you. Okay- we all have a bad day now and then, so not a huge deal breaker. But the food.... Soup was bland and a little oily. Even soy sauce did little to enhance the flavor. Rice was undercooked. Veggies were almost raw- NOT crisp-tender like most places. Lobster sauce was greyish and not tasty- but shrimp was okay. Pepper steak beef was rubbery. Sauce was okay, but peppers and onions were actually crunchy. No, thank you. Utensils, napkins and condiments were stored in styro cups and plastic drawers. Messy and not entirely sanitary. The person I was with actually wanted to warn people coming in - that they shouldn't eat there. I wrote this review instead. read more
