Had a great first experience here last night! Our waitress Maryann was attentive and friendly, and told us she'd been at the restaurant for 30 years. The food is self service, you pick your noodles/vegetables/meats and bring it to the cook. Everything seemed fresh but I did notice the only proteins available were chicken/beef (no fish or vegetarian proteins). Soups and rice are available warm at the other bar. The decor felt you time traveled back a few decades but it only adds to the experience. We will be back! read more

Panda House Stir-Fry - Crab Puffs with dipping sauce oh so good! - Chinese Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

I mainly want to say I do recommend this place. It is a little less clean than I would like, but it makes up for it with the food. My stir-fry was absolutely delicious and I loved the info they had about each ingredient. The fried rice was really good and I enjoyed their egg drop soup and that is a dish I normally don't like. Lastly, I don't know if we came at a bad time but I didn't really get any service, and had little interaction with any staff. Overall, the price is good and the food is amazing, I will definitely be coming back. read more

The food was delicious. The staff was very friendly, and attentive. My family loves Mongolian BBQ! There are only a couple places in town, and this one was a lot closer to home. I would highly recommend , and will definitely be back for more. Thank you Panda House! read more

If you like healthy food, this is the place to go to. It's a stirfry buffet and you can choose whatever you want to be in your stirfry. They also have hot and sour soup and egg drop soup. They also have a few other things. Encourage you to check it out.!! read more

Been coming here for decades and always love the food and ambience. Great service too. Thanks!

Food is good and prices are reasonable. But, the male owner is very rude and unfriendly.

Probably my favorite restaurant in town. Maryann & Tu do a great job here. Plus, you can make your dish exactly the way you want. Very reasonably pricred, too. read more

Panda House Stir-Fry - My stirfry plate. - Chinese Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Wow this was a horrible experience. I'm not sure who the man was. But he was a bigger white gentleman and he was extremely rude. It was my first time here and he basically yelled at me because I didn't turn my number the right way when I brought up the tray. The food is over priced fr the quality. Totally dated for ambiance too. I feel bad because the woman cooking I'm sure does her best but he will take down that place with the attitude. read more

The quality to cost ratio is off the charts. Very affordable, great service, great food

Food is very good at a low price. Service is hit or miss. Usually the female servers are great but old grumpy guys are a bit off putting and rude!!! There is one guy that is a real piece of work. I've left several times just seeing him there. Go for the Mongolian buffet and get it spicy. Very similar to a YCs except you can keep loading up for the same price. read more

What you see is what you get. This restaurant has been around for decades, and despite ownership upheaval and a switching in some staff, the food is still excellent. Savory, a little sweet, any spice level you want, and as much vegetable, meat, and noodles as you want. This is not some sort of food chain conglomerate. This is a small establishment, and it holds the charm of one. Sorry to see the crab Rangoons are only served once a week now, though. read more

The place looks a little run down and the selection of food items to grill is pretty small, however the food is good and inexpensive. $14 as of this writing for the Mongolian Buffet. This includes as many trips to the buffet/grill as you want. Meat options are Chicken, Pork and Beef. For $2 extra, you can add Shrimp. Definitely worth it. Service was great! I'm not much of a fan of RC Cola, but I can put up with it. read more

Great value stir fry food. Never disappointed. Fully stocked noodle, vegetable and meat selection. And the hot and sour soup is a hit!

They did want us to order off the menu. They only wanted us to eat the buffet. The guy said he don't have time for the menu. Will never go back. read more

Food was amazing and portions are large. I will be back again. Price was also cheaper for the portion size. They were also able to make my meal spicy when normally it is not. read more

Always love this place. Do miss the lamb and wish they would do a deep clean. Feels, looks n smells like it did over 30 years ago literally. The man walking around needs to put on a smile though. The gal cooing runs around like a champ and food really good read more

Great fresh food! Go enough times that you can make your dish the way you like it. I recommend 3 scoops house sauce 1 garlic and 2 ginger. I love being able to order tofu for my stir fry:) I miss the rangoons though :/ read more

I haven't stopped by Panda House Stir Fry since 2008. I just came back from a nostalgia feeling I once had when I first stopped by for some grub. Yesterday I came with my friend to try it out. Of course the restaurant has changed a bit since then. The decorations are traditional. Multiple of different picture of pandas on the same wall. The booths are lovely but simplistic in their own way. Our waitress was very nice and gave us different suggestions to order and got me the assistance I needed since the last time I came. My friend made her own stir fry and I took a shot at a veggie Stir-Fry to another waitress (I could tell she knew what she was doing btw). The veggie Stir-Fry was great. For the portion I got of vegetables and streamed rice on the side it was quite filling thanks for having me here, I'll be back sometime soon. :) read more

I have come here many times over the years, and in my personal experience this place has gone down hill. Our reason for coming has always been fresh ingredients as you go down the line. But over the past few years the offerings have never changed and they are always out of have numerous items. What is more, is both my partner and I have noticed it has become dirtier and dirtier. Variety is the spice of life, and I certainly wish this place will get a little more spice. We keep coming back wishing for more as it is one of the few grills on our side of town. Just a real letdown for both of us. read more

Been coming here since I was a little kid they are one of the best! There lomain and chow mine is amazing their house sauce is fantastic and I love the way it's all stored kept and prepared it's so nice to do buffet and only add what you want in your food and leave out what you don't want they also take Apple Pay which is nice since I lost my debit card recently read more

We had not been to this restaurant in over 10 years and we thought we would try it again. When we walked in, my first intuition was to turn around and walk out. We didn't though and regretted it. There were at least 3 tables with dirty dishes piled up on them. The restaurant had a very dirty feel to it. The food bar area was splattered with food. The overall experience was poor. I try to find something positive to say in every circumstance and the only think I can think of is I haven't gotten sick yet. read more

I had never been to this place but decided to get takeout because I was starving. The place was completely empty. The lady that helped me (not sure if she was the owner or not) was so nice. The food was delicious! I didn't give it 5 stars only because I felt the chicken I got was more veggies and onion than anything else. But the stir fry was great, the dumplings and chicken egg rolls were delish! Will def be trying this place out again and dining in. read more

The food and ambiance were excellent. Our server was awesome. The owner was rude, inappropriate, and escalated. He was either on drugs or has a personality disorder. There was no reason why he mistreated my adult sons and I. read more

I have been coming here the last few years and love going for lunch. I love being able to pick and chose what I want to eat. I can chose a little bit of noodles and fresh veggies. I always get my bowl spicy. Once they didn't ask me and I forgot to tell them I wanted it spicy and it wasn't very good. It really is spicy so if you don't like spicy food don't get ask them to make it that way. There is also a choice of white rice, fried rice, lo mein and soup. I am not a huge fan of their soups of rice. The only thing that would make this place better if they had a few more options to add. The Mongolian bbq place over in the east side I prefer, but this place is still great and a lot closer to me. It is worth checking out. read more

I loved the food, and the service was amazing. Quick and friendly. The tea tasted great, clean and crisp.

Went tonight in hopes of good dinner,,, oh well. Arrived only one other table going,, should have left then,,, was told take any table,, tried to find a clean one and not too ripped up. Ohh well. Ordered ice tea and water. Waited for a while , finally decided to get the bowls started. Most the pans on the cold table were empty or close to it. Oh well. Get to the grill and I ask person there how much it costs. He ask what costs? I say dinner ohh 15.99. They start cooking, we try to get done soup and rice. Both look left over from lunch and warmers and ladles dirty. Ohh well Ice tea showed up. It was the highlight of dinner! My wife eats a few bites of hers I eat most of mine,,,gims to go and hope feeling OK later, never got a bill, went to dirty cash register and the guy who sat us and served us wants to know what table we were at,,,, really ,, offers a discount for cash,,, Any how the water in the vases on table have mold in them! So far so good,,, feeling OK. So in recap. Ice tea and fortune cookie the highlight all else,,, ugggh Ugg update,,, talked too soon. Not feeling so great now read more

When you're watching what you eat, this place is a godsend. The buffet is well stocked w noodles and chopped veggies from cabbage, sprouts, mushrooms to peppers. There were three meats offered, chicken, pork n beef...all incredibly lean. You then pick your flavors to stir fry in...garlic, a light teriyaki, chicken broth, ginger and curry or spicy powder. I get the chili oil on the side. Rice, fried rice, crispy cream cheese puffs for side items and their egg flower and hot n sour soups are the best soups I've had in a long time. My son especially likes this place...he can eat his fill and know it's a healthy meal. The owner makes a special pho only available on Sundays. We want to try that soon. The service is always low key and friendly. We sat and talked for quite a long time. read more

I have been going to Panda House since I was a kid. The previous owners would always remember and ask me questions about what was going on in our life because we would go every other week or so. When the new owner took over, I unfortunately noticed a huge change in their food. My husband appreciated him with His support for the police family so we would still do take out every once in awhile, but always felt disappointed. We finally decided to go in and try. As disappointed as we were with the food, my 9 month old was shoveling the food in. I always do my best to clean up whatever mess my children leave, but the Owner comes over and very loudly starts Talking about the mess. I thought he was Joking at first but quickly realized he wasn't. We weren't done with our food, but with both my husband and I being servers in our past, we always do our best to keep clean up before we leave, but a 9 month old will make a mess while eating. He walked by multiple times with my husband on the floor cleaning up and never once said anything. As a server I would Always tell people not to worry about it. We will not go back in. And it seems based on the reviews and the fact the restaurant was empty on Mother's Day, that we are not alone with our disappointment. read more

Average place not great but not bad food. The guy that works there either hates his job, hates his life, or both. He's pretty rude and doesn't like questions. It was my first time going so I asked about how spicy the hottest was and he points to the spice level and condescendingly says "well you see that one has one chili, that one has three chilis and the last one has lots of chilis so you can guess how spicy it will be." I brushed it off because I wasn't going to stoop to his level of petty. The food isn't bad and it's cooked to order, you get your ingredients in a bowl, they cook it, they bring it to your table. Again, not the most flavorful food but it's cheap and filling. Probably wouldn't go back very often just because I don't want to deal with the guy there. read more

Been eating here for years as the food is great! The place was sold around 2 to 3 years ago to a husband (guy is downright rude to customers and shouldn't be in the restaurant business and needs to step away before he runs them out of business) and wife (very sweet Asian firecracker chasing her dream, she works very hard to keep the place running as long as the husband stays out of her way) team that continue to operate the establishment and the food is as good as it has been for the past 20 years. Now for the not so good... The place is rundown and dated as far as the decor, and the facility as a whole could use some sprucing up. The last few times we have eaten here the place gets dirtier and dirtier, and last night it was very noticeable as the walls, tables, art on the walls, carpet, storefront windows, and generally everything about the place was filthy! Richard, aside from your recent health issues, please get the establishment cleaned up (we are on the fence about eating here ever again because of the conditions), hire some front of house help and step away and let your wife handle the day to day, you don't have the personality to deal with the public and are running people away from an established business. Best Regards! read more

I love everything about Panda House. I have been coming here since I was 5 years old probably. I have such good memories coming here as a child. The service is always amazing and the food is even better. I always get my food from the buffet. I love that it's fresh ingredients and cooked right then and there. This is probably one of my all time favorite restaurants. read more

Located in a strip mall on the southeast corner of Thornydale and Ina, this AYCE Mongolian Grill has humble settings but offers great value for your money. The options for meat and veggies are small and limited, but the sauces are really good and service has always been friendly and fast. They have a small buffet that offers soup and fried rice that comes with the AYCE option, and if you don't want AYCE, you can order from a different a la carte menu. Not bad! read more

Panda House Stir-Fry - Chinese Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

I was not a huge fan of this place. It was my first time eating here, so when I walked in I was very obvious about how I didn't know what the setup was. And the little lady standing in the back of the restaurant just stood there watching me. It was a little awkward. Finally I had to walk up to her after kind of walking in circles and ask her how it worked. It really was not a huge selection to choose from, and what they did have, really wasn't that fantastic. It would have been really great if they would have been more customer-friendly, had a bigger selection for the pricing. The food that I did end up getting, was pretty Bland. I work nearby, but can honestly say without a doubt, I will not be visiting this restaurant again. read more

There was an empty space in my appetite when the Mongolian Grill juggernaut "Genghis Grill" left Tucson a couple years ago. I feared that I, the starving post-grad, would merely recount stories of putting together disproportionate amounts of meat on top of noodles in a bowl sprinkled with vegetables. True, Panda House Stir-Fry is limited in its variety of vegetables and sauces, but it should not be discredited. My bowl came out absolutely delicious. Despite my praise of the return of all-you-can eat Mongolian grill bowl option, I feel more than obligated to direct attention to the staff. It says a lot about an establishment when the staff is as pleasant and friendly as these people were. Even more, I should note that this establishment's facade light was completely off/broken, making this place difficult to find. Ironically, it was still bustling, indicating that this location's reputation and loyal fan base was enough advertisement for it to meet its needs. Panda House Stir-Fry comes across as a hole-in-the-wall establishment with an extremely loyal customer base. It's not a classy establishment, but makes its mark in a homier mom-and-pop fashion. The all-you-can-eat option came out to be somewhere between $12-14 a person. Great place to stumble upon. read more

Stopped in for lunch. Perfect timing. The buffet was fully stocked and open again. The meal was great. This is the best stir fry I have eaten at. read more
