    Szechuan Dumplings top left, small side of egg drop soup in top right, veggie egg roll, & Kung pao chicken w/steamed rice, $24 before tip.
    Erin D.

    I hadn't been here in about five years and decided to give a try since reopening. The bottom line is that I've no idea what I was eating. Everything was extremely bland and a bit salty. Frankly I'm not sure what to even think. You only need to come here if you really want unappealing Chinese food past 9PM and they're open until 930PM. And just for comparison, I decided to try the same dish, two nights in a row. I ordered the dinner combo of Kung pao chicken at both this restaurant and Jade Cafe (less than 2mi straight down Eldridge road, has a drive thru, and closes at 9PM). So, here are my comparisons: 1. Ordered medium spicy at both places. Panda Garden has zero flavor. I forced myself to eat since lunch was about 7hrs earlier (and still couldn't bring myself to heartily eat). Jade Cafe has the right amount of spice. 2. It's cheaper to order from Jade Cafe. Panda Garden for their dinner combo is $11.50 but Jade Cafe is $9. Panda Garden includes a soup; I added a soup to Jade Cafe which brought two items to $12.75. However, when you do this at Jade Cafe, you get double the amount of soup and you get these crispy wide noodles when ordering the egg drop soup. Nothing accompanies the egg drop soup at Panda Garden. Furthermore, you can customize more at Jade Cafe; selecting your type of rice (fried, steamed, or brown) and crab puff/egg roll (pork available) doesn't upcharge the total. In contrast at Panda Garden, you can only choose a vegetable egg roll/cheese puff and anything other than steamed rice costs extra. Both entree containers are the same size. 3. Most importantly, visually Panda Garden is for non-Asians. The pieces of chicken are ENORMOUS, bigger than the spoons I have at home. In any Asian country when using chopsticks, this would be unacceptable. Jade Cafe has the right size for those using chopsticks. 4. Panda Garden allows you to pay online on the website, and it appears there's a $.99 charge additionally. Jade Cafe allows online ordering but you have to pay at the restaurant. Their website fee appears to be $.75. 5. Jade Cafe has a drive-thru, though you can walk in too. Panda Garden does not. I also ordered the Szechuan Dumplings at Panda Garden, and that was a mistake. I have no idea what that was but it wasn't spicy at all. I guess I was expecting something more like the dumplings served at most Szechuan places (like Mian in Chinatown), where the dumplings are served a bit dry but has a flavorful chili oil poured over. Instead I received a MSG-filled soup of dumplings that were soaked and didn't taste like anything. There is so much liquid, my dumplings were a solid dark brown (like poop), and I've never seen anything like it (of course been to numerous Asian restaurants and been to almost 10 Asian countries). I would pass on this. I get that this is Americanized Chinese food, but it's pretty bad. I've had better in rural parts of the country where there's hardly any Asians, and this surprises me given we're almost 40% Asian. I would give the leftovers to my parents, but I think they'd be mortified. $24 is going in the trash!

    I've been coming here for 23 years and have been able to try almost all of their appetizers and entrees. I love the quality of ingredients and food and they recently remodeled! Place is always kept very clean and tidy.

Very heavy handed with salt even though the person in my party that placed the order specifically told the waitress to tone down on the salt. We also asked for no MSG but they turned to sugar instead so the dishes were a little altered beyond recognition. Specifically, I ordered their Szechuan peppercorn beef. As far as I know, this dish is always all savory and there should not be any sweetness. But, when I took the first bite, it was mildly sweet. Weird! Looks like for the rest of the dishes that has sauce, they used the same dark colored sauce; so, they tasted the same. Not a lot of imagination and creativity in their cooking. SERVICE: They are quite attentive in this area. So, I would give them 4 out of 5 stars in this area. VERDICT: Would I return? Probably not. When it comes to Chinese foods, the dishes need to be superior in their taste. You really need to have skills to survive as a Chinese restaurant.

I swear it's just one really long hand made noodle, so it's a bit hard to share, but it's a must-get. We also tried the Claypot noodle and it was good as well but a bit of an acquired taste. The restaurant is located inside Jusgo grocery store. The seating is quite limited so I wouldn't recommend it for large parties. And it's pretty mom and pop, so if that's your jam, go for it. Chairs are mismatched, drinking water is somewhat self-service in small cafeteria-style plastic cups, and tables are small. Like I said - mom and pop, and that's not a bad thing. It's just not exactly a place where you would have a nice business meeting. Service was ok - nothing to note. You pay at the cashier which is like 2 feet from where you ate. Yes, it's a small space.

The portion size has gotten a bit smaller (inflation sucks), but the quality remains solid. I especially like the few slices of sausage and some pickled mustard greens, which help balance out the richness of the braised pork belly. If you dine in, they offer unsweetened black tea that's actually quite tasty. It's a no-frills spot--simple, quick, and dependable whether you're grabbing food to go or eating there. They also sell items like mung bean cake, which I love, and I usually take a couple home. They got a few tables to dine in and the staff are friendly.

Whether it was weekend dim sum or an evening Canto feast with fresh seafood, I was simply thankful for the option. Now that option is toast since Regal closed last month. Looks can be deceiving. The exterior makes me think of a fitness joint more so than a Cantonese spot. Stepping inside is a complete contrast, with a mix of specialty murals, modern decor with a contemporary edge. There were plenty of large group tables, which made this place perfectly ideal for a feast gathering. Bathrooms were also clean, but this is the only place I've seen that had ice cubes all the urinals. (#1) Dim Sum was solid. The highlights for me were their stir fried XO rice rolls, which had a nice char and some good flavor. The Malay style rolls were also suprrisingly good and I felt strongly about their bbq pork puffs, durian rolls, and glutinous pork dumplings shaped to look like pears. The shrimp dumplings, beef balls, and spare ribs were average at best, I was also very impressed with their overall variety and the fact they had an extremely defined picture menu. The Canto speaking staff was friendly and the parking was plentiful. While the food wasn't all a hit, I do think there was some potential, which was not realized in the end. I am sincerely hoping another Canto spot will emerge in the Land of Sugar. __________ (#1) Yes, really.

Price - for dim sum, we've paid roughly $26/person, but that included tax and tips. So that amount is arbitrary. It depends on how many dishes you may order, and keep in mind that we had a lot of left over food though. We also had a whole duck in this price, so not your typical dim sum order. I imagine it would be less if we would just stick to dim sum only. 3. Ambiance - this place is industrial looking. Modern and pretty hip. It's not massive. Not sure if it's the same owner as the previous Regal on 59. But it's a smaller footprint than the previous location. Dress code here is casual. 4. Food - I will say that the dim sum here is legit Hong Kong style dim sum. This is delicious and not greasy. I really like their CHA-SIU-BAO (BBQ Pork Buns), HA-GAO (shrimp dumplings), SIU-MEI (Pork and Shrimp dumplings), and Egg Tarts. Because it was our first time there, we wanted to try out their roast duck. It is also very authentically made. There are definitely other dishes that were good too, but these were the few worth mentioning. 5. Cleanliness - Dining area appears clean. SUMMARY - I recommend this place and will likely return for more dim sum in the future.

That combination is harder to find than you'd think, and they execute both perfectly. The food is consistently excellent.
