    Moo goo gai pan chicken.
    Tay E.

    Good fresh chinese takeout tried the moo goo gai pan and garlic beef on the suggestion of the owner and was good. Also the jumbo shrimp with snow peas was tasty. Not like a big city takeout but good for lunch. Will definitely come back.

    The food was delicious. The service was great and the food came in a timely manner. Everything was reasonably priced. The portion of food you get also was good. One meal was enough to feed 2 people.

    In the Kroger shopping center. Grand Opening 12/14/15!!

    So, there are a couple of booths and 2 tables but it looks like they're set up mostly for takeout. The menu is pretty standard for an East Tennessee Chinese storefront. And it still has that new Panda smell! Very clean very prompt. I ordered beef and broccoli and asked them to make it spicy; it was sort of spicy but not too hot. The hot and sour soup was good. They opened about 2 weeks later than they expected to open. More will be revealed.

    Big take out menu -- friendly service

    First of all it is nice that there is a local Chinese restaurant for takeout and dining near the university now. So bravo and I am happy you are here!!! The Kroger strip mall is becoming food central with all the recent and existing restaurants now - there are at least 6 at my count. This is great for us locals - I hope it will be good for the restaurants that have opened as well. I was excited to go to Panda House for the first time to check it out. I spent some time talking to the manager that opened this location - apparently the owner is in MO and has a few locations -- she has done a great job getting this one open and is very enthusiastic to see this one do well. So I asked what menu item she would most recommend. She came up with General Tso's Chicken - this was one of the most expensive (for this location) item on the menu coming in at $10 which is pretty high for an item for take out at a Chinese restaurant here. I took her advice anyway .. I was surprised I was not asked what type of rice I wanted -- so I got white rice which was okay. I also order the Hot and Sour Soup $2 which is excellent!!. Everything is cooked to order which is great. General Tso's chicken was overly sweet and ( my own fault) not very healthy. I will be trying healthier options in the future. But I would call it average .. not great but pretty good. The lunch menu has great prices and I will try that next. All orders come with won tons and of course a fortune cookie. I really want to give a higher rating in the future but for value and taste for the food I got I would call this place average thus the ratings. Never the less I am glad they opened and will give them more chances to increase my rating.

    The chow mein noodles are dried up. They must've changed their supplier. Very poor, poor quality.

    Really went downhill. Food is bland and has unexpected ingredients. Hostess who took my call was short and almost angry.

    Not. I ordered the spicy broccoli and shrimp. Very bland and tasteless. The chicken wings tasted like they came from frozen banquet.

It was early afternoon and busy, so we sat at the bar to save time. When we looked at the menu, we thought everything looked pricey but figured it would be worth it. We ordered the namesake dishes: the Chicken Bella Vita for me and the Veal Bella Vita for my husband. Wait staff was very nice and indicated it was a good choice. We also ordered a bottle of wine (way overpriced for what it was). The bread and the extra olive oil dip we ordered were delicious, as were the salads.Then we waited. And waited. Over an hour after finishing our salads, the entrees finally arrived. I'm patient with holiday crowds, but no place should take this long. When the food arrived, I was not impressed by the portions for a $25.99 entree, but I hoped the taste would make up for it. It didn't. There was no taste at all! It was supposed to be a champagne sauce, but it tasted like flavorless biscuit gravy with no salt--and no cheese was offered to help it out. My 'Bella Vita' plate had only about 2 bites of chicken, 3 shrimp, and a few pieces of artichoke with some sun-dried tomatoes. I get that poor planning can make a holiday meal prep a challenge, but we paid full price--over $100 for two people before tip. We won't be returning.
