    Lunch Honey Walnut Shrimp
    Lorita S.

    Food was not hot...again Not sure why Presentation was lacking Rice a lil dry Just wish they would get it right

    The food has always been on point whenever we ate here! The taste, quality and portions is good! The service is excellent and the restaurant is very clean.

    Sung was so attentive and kind. The food here is always epic! Love the white chocolate dipped fortune cookies and panda beef!

    Honey Walnut Shrimp
    Cody P.

    One of my biggest pet peeves is not being seated at my reservation time. We had reserved a table for 5 last Sunday at 1:15pm. But even though we had a reservation, we found ourselves unwilling members of a hungry, irritated crowd of people standing in the lobby of Panda Inn, waiting for our table on Father's Day. We were not seated until 2pm, 45 minutes past our reservation time. Honestly, what is the point of having reservations if the restaurant is not able to honor them? I found my first experience at Panda Inn very irritating and unprofessional. The atmosphere of the restaurant feels a bit dated. The inside of the building almost seems like the inside of a church, with high ceilings and stained glass. The food was on the bland side. The salt and pepper calamari was underseasoned, lacking both salt and pepper. The crab wontons were actually quite good. I liked how plump they were. An order only comes with 4, so we had to order 2 portions to have enough for our party of 5. The orange chicken had a nice crisp to it but did not blow me away. Neither did the honey walnut shrimp. The lo mein was underseasoned. The beef fried rice was underseasoned and mushy. The beef did not taste like it was high quality. My favorite thing that I had was steamed white rice with soy sauce. That's not a compliment, by the way. I'm not sure if the subpar food and service was because of the Father's day rush, but I definitely did not feel much of an urge to return. I unironically would rather go to Panda Express. At least I would be served on time.

    While Panda Express should be more than a little familiar to anyone that has eaten at mall food courts before, what might not be as well known is that it was actually started as a fast food/to-go offshoot of Panda Inn, which was founded about a decade before. So, being that I've been of Panda Express ever since I was a kid, how could I not be curious about the restaurant that started it all? Especially after hearing that their famed Orange Chicken was supposed to be even tastier here! Compared to the photos of how their other locations look, this Panda Inn feels a bit worn and dated (like it's from the 90's). However, that's not to say this place is awful or lacking - they have a small lobby area with some nice benches for folks who are waiting for their table, a chill bar section, and a decent amount of seating inside for groups large or small. As for the menu, It's pretty in line with what you'd see at your average Chinese restaurant (starters, soups, stir-fried dishes, noodle dishes, fried rice, seafood, poultry, beef, pork, vegetarian, etc.) and, not surprisingly, includes pretty much all of the same dishes that Panda Express has to offer. -- RASPBERRY LEMONADE This didn't taste quite as "fresh" as we had imagined, but it was still refreshing enough. If nothing else, it had a nice raspberry taste to it and didn't seem too sweet. -- GINGER ALE So much better than the likes of Canada Dry or Seagram's. The taste of ginger in this was sharp with a slight bite that I liked. -- ORANGE CHICKEN - Crispy Breaded Chicken and Baby Corn in Spicy Orange Sauce If you thought their Panda Express version was good, it's true - this one is EVEN BETTER! The batter was crispier and not too thick, the chicken was moist, and the sauce, while slightly sweet, had a slight kick to it that I really liked. Delicious! -- SHRIMP IN GARLIC SAUCE - Shrimp, Snow Peas, Zucchini, Red Bell Peppers, and Water Chestnuts in Garlic Sauce This wasn't bad, but it was definitely my least favorite dish. Although the shrimp were cooked well, I didn't care much for the garlic sauce, which had a bit of kick (good) and a sort of tang to it (not so good). -- BRAISED STRING BEANS with Fresh Garlic in Shao Xing Wine Sauce More solid than spectacular, but not too shabby. While I wish this had a bit of spice or stronger seasoning to it (like XO sauce), I love that the string beans were blistered yet not overcooked, as they still had some bite to them. -- ASSORTED CHOW FUN - Rice Noodles, Shiitake Mushrooms, Baby Bok Choy, and Fresh Ginger in Mushroom Sauce with Beef, Chicken, Pork, Shrimp, and Vegetables Admittedly, I wasn't expecting much out of this one, but it was actually really good! The noodles had a nice chew to them and there was a fair amount of meat/seafood in this. A larger portion/more noodles also would've been nice, but this was great otherwise. Beyond the dishes that we tried, the two other highlights of our visit were our server and the white chocolate covered fortune cookies that came at the end of our meal. The former was really attentive, checking on us throughout our meal, and just super sweet. Ironically, and quite fortunately, that last part can't be said for the fortune cookies, which tasted so good and weren't overly sugary or rich like I feared they'd be. Since they offer so many of the same dishes, folks aren't wrong to say that you can get the same thing for less at Panda Express. However, that's an oversimplification since you're not getting the same thing. In short, those same dishes just taste so much better here, as it makes a huge difference that they're made-to-order in smaller portions versus in large batches and scooped out of a tray. For that reason alone (and the fortune cookies), making the trip to check out the restaurant that spawned Panda Express is absolutely worth it!

    Lunch Orange Chicken
    Stephanie D.

    Ate here for lunch with my siblings and significant others. We ordered the orange chicken, honey walnut shrimp, upside down crispy noodles, and egg drop soup. Everything was amazing! The chicken was kinda underwhelming but it still hit the spot. Everyone loved the crispiness of the honey walnut shrimp too. at the end, we found out our server put "less spicy" for the orange chicken for whatever reason which explained why it was so underwhelming. We hope to return and try the orange chicken for what it is!

    Wowwww I did not expect to LOVE it! Can't believe I didn't come here earlier! Inside is clean and well kept gives you a fine dining experience. Their tables are covered with table cloth! Employees are attentive and even the manager checks on customers waiting to order for take out asking if they have been helped. They have regular and family sizes for most of their dishes. For a party of five we got five dishes regular size and it was plenty. They also give you rice which is a plus! Lastly, their white chocolate dipped fortune cookie is a great surprise as well! Will definitely be back!

    Just had dinner at Panda Inn for the first time and i couldnt be more impressed! The food was absolutely outstanding and so was our waiter Sung. He recommended the Walnut Shrimp and i have to say it was the best i have ever had in my life. The restaurant is very nice also and the waiters are so nice and friendly. Definitely the best Chinese food in the neighborhood!

    Had such a great experience at Panda Inn on Easter Day. We came in as a party of two and were seated within five minutes, which was amazing for a holiday. Our servers were attentive the entire time without being overbearing. The atmosphere felt very family-oriented with nice white tablecloths, giving it that classic, comfortable dining vibe. We ordered the shrimp fried rice and kung pao shrimp, and both were delicious with generous portions--we even had leftovers for the next day. I also tried the cherry blossom drink, which was a perfect, refreshing touch. Overall, everything from the food to the service made this such an enjoyable visit. Definitely coming back!

    Had a great experience at Panda Inn! The food was savory and satisfying--especially the honey walnut shrimp, which was perfectly prepared with a crisp exterior and just the right size. Prices were reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. This spot always feels festive--it's clearly a go-to for celebrations, including my own family's birthdays. We were even able to get semi-private seating this evening, which made the experience feel extra special. Service is usually good. Food was served quickly even although they were busy. Oh and their fortune cookie was dipped in white chocolate which was delish. Definitely a place we'll keep coming back to again and again!

    Orange Chicken - Delicious!
    Caesar C.

    Along with the food, the employees of Panda Inn are excellent! The food was amazing as always. The Honey Walnut Shrimp & Orange Chicken were delicious, truly one of a kind! The restaurant was spotless, and the service was impeccable. We were warmly greeted at the door and promptly seated, eliminating any wait time. Our host, Bobbi, was absolutely fantastic! She provided impeccable service and very attentive. She was friendly, helpful, and connected with my family. She truly stood out as one of a kind!

    Went for quick dinner. This time food was a bit dry. The rice was dry and was not upto the average standard that I am used to at this place. Also there was less people serving. The crowd has changed and environment abit low.

    Not sure if this is true but I was told this is the original Panda Express or the fancy Panda. True or not, the food was great. The service was also great.

Some of their greatest hits are the house fried fish, wu geng chang wan, and stir fried green beans. Our family almost always orders these items when we go out to eat.

And prefer it over many other Asian cuisines.* The reason I chose M's Kitchen over two other Taiwanese restaurants in the area? So many more vegetable dishes! And wow, am I completely grateful I did! We arrived on a Saturday evening, and the server and chef were both in the kitchen. The server came over and gave us menus before getting our drink orders. She was prompt in a very caring manner without ever seeming rushed. She had lots of suggestions as we asked questions about the menu. At some point, the chef was sitting with us, and she asked him clarifying questions for us. She even went back into the kitchen to find out which vegetables were the freshest (which I appreciated)! We ordered a cup of ginseng and goji berry chicken soup, chicken cream corn soup (with egg), ong choy with garlic, walnut shrimp, crispy tofu, and green scallion pancake. As each dish came out, it felt like different instruments in an orchestra being highlighted as they wove into the tapestry of the music. The ong choy built onto the soup, the crispy tofu onto the ong choy and soup, and so on! Until there was this grand harmony of pulsating flavors and textures! I thoroughly enjoyed each dish! I only wish I had a bigger appetite so I could eat more and faster! The server helped us to pack the leftovers. We spoke about how traditional Chinese and Taiwanese food get lost in the mix of more modern and fusion recipes and restaurants. I am also a loving fan of mom and pop dining because it reminds me of the many meals I have been gifted by the parents of friends and friends who have opened their homes and hearths to feed and nourish me in my life. I love feeling like I am visiting someone's family and sharing a meal together. This is how M's Kitchen felt for me! I am planning how many meals I can have here and who I can invite to experience the deliciousness soon! Please consider visiting! Even if you haven't tried Taiwanese food yet, this is a wonderful spot to start with!
