I love this place. I've been celebrating my birthday here since I discovered them three years ago. I love this place. The food is always delicious. We've tried just about everything including the sushi. Everything is fresh and tasty. They are always busy but the service is on point. The staff is generous and speedy. Thank you Panda Machi for the great service and food. read more

The best place to eat in Alpine. Highly recommended I know Chinese food this is awesome. The best with in our driving area . read more

I'd been patronizing their competition Ahi sushi for years until finding out that Ahi takes 10% of their servers tips, so I decided to start coming here instead and I'm glad I did. All the food here is absolutely fantastic. My favorite rolls are the spicy hamachi (yellowtail) spicy scallop, and spicy salmon. Best of all is the fact that all three rolls are so reasonably priced at only $6.95 which I have yet to find any other sushi spot can compete with these prices. They even messed up my order once and all I had to do was call and let them know, and they comped my next meal, no harm no foul. I enjoy coming here multiple times a month because their sushi is that good! read more

Chinese food and sushi under one roof... huh? This was my first visit after recently moving to Alpine. In a very busy restaurant, the kind lady who greeted me while answering the phone and cashing out a customer allowed me to take the restaurant menu to the car to look over. And what an extensive menu it is! I already knew I wanted sushi and to try something new. I ordered the Pink Lady Roll, made of tuna, salmon, hamachi, and masago, rolled in pink soy paper. I found a new (to me) yummy fish - hamachi! Fresh and tastes of the ocean, it was a delight. The pink soy paper, which I was also new to, wasn't my favorite. That's not the restaurant's fault; it's just a preference, and I missed the roasted seaweed. Well, I tried and found something new! The fried calamari looked frozen because it was in a stick-like form, but it was tender and delicious. Lesson to us all - never let appearances keep you from trying something outside of your comfort zone; you never know what your new favorite you'll find! Note: There's a note on the menu that says its last revision was Aug. 6, 2022. Pretty cool! read more

I can see why this spot got busy from the time I placed my order to when I got it. You have the option to go Chinese food or Japanese/sushi. I stick with sushi and it was all soo good and even still came with some fortune cookies. I totally see myself coming here again to get more food and the prices were honestly really nice too. read more

Panda Machi in Alpine has good food; however, the service is not as good at Ahi Sushi. The staff does not seem as attentive and oftentimes you are squeezed into a space in the restaurant and the waiting time to be served is too long. read more

Always amazing been going here for 10 years now whether you get Chinese or sushi everything is quality. I love the salt and pepper wings....... Incredible! My other favorite is the flaming lips roll read more

Food: I went with my daughter a while back, nice little sushi place in Alpine! The Pine Valley roll was a bit too "green" for me... it was good but a lot of cilantro and Jalepeno. My daughter got the Dream Roll and she said it was good. I would definitely come back to try more. Service: Our server was nice, no complaints. And they gave us enough space as we were eating. Perfect! Atmosphere: It is a small place, kind of tight inside but that's okay, Alpine is a small community. Tables for 2 and 4 people but might want to call ahead for a group larger than that. Price: Middle of the road, I'd say. Good rolls, lots of types AND regular Asian food as well, like rice bowls and noodles. So it's not just sushi. Overall: Nice little gem in Alpine, we will be back to try more rolls and maybe add on to my review! read more

Extensive menu with excellent options. I like how they have a Sushi bar, Chinese food and Boba. I had a salad and really liked their tasty egg drop soup. It wasn't watered down. Then I had the fried rice with Buddha's delight. A delightful mixed veggie with a rangoon and gyoza. I wanted to get a boba but i was too full in a good way. They had TV playing the game and it was a packed place. I know most people don't pay attention but I do. I liked all the music that was playing. Mel M Yelp 23:18 read more

My family lives in Alpine and we frequent Panda Machi. After tonight's dine in meal..we will never return...the food came out one person at a time and two of us didn't get our food for at least 40 minutes after other family members had been served. One of the meals came out cold. The women's bathroom was beyond disgusting..toilet paper all over the floor...floor was grossly sticky...toilet paper sticking to it..when telling the food server about how bad it was..she just looked at me and said nothing....after paying approximately $80.00..we went to McDonalds for a warm meal. We will never go back to Panda Machi. read more

Absolutely love Panda Machi! It is such a great hometown restaurant where everyone knows everyone. The staff is great and super friendly. Tu at the sushi bar is especially awesome and will even make regulars custom rolls. We typically get the Panda Machi combo which is a great plate of egg drop soup, side salad, rice, a side, and a pain protein all for $13!!! It is such a good deal, super filling and delicious! I highly recommend! read more

I love this place so much! We eat here all the time and I just love everything I have eaten here. Had to update my review since I noticed my last one was 7 years ago! Definitely a place for delicious eats in Alpine! read more

My family came here for a birthday dinner (it's my aunts favorite sushi spot). We started off with some fried egg rolls. They were delicious! My cousin ordered the salt and pepper wings (also so delicious). But we came here for the sushi... I ordered the Pine Valley roll as they all said it was the best one... I was not impressed. The cilantro overpowered the fresh fish. My husband ordered the spicy tuna and my kids just got their usual California roll. These are all plain rolls, so nothing to rave about, but the best part of these rolls were that the fish was really fresh and cut well. Basically, yes the food was pretty good but I will not be driving to Alpine for the sushi. read more

Panda Machi - Sushi ! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Alpine, California

The food here is very good. I'm a huge fan of the shrimp lo mein and the rainbow roll. There's 5 different types of sea fish on the top which most sushi spots only have like 2 with a shrimp topping which isn't only a cheap way to do it but it doesn't taste like the quality fish you were looking for . The food/sushi here is above everyone's els small family owned places . Deeply recommended! read more

More meh Alpine/East County food. We've done take out twice here and been completely underwhelmed. If Convoy is your point of reference for asian food quality, prepare for disappointment. Last night I walk in to pick up 70 bucks worth of food. The woman at the register was hanging up the phone. She didn't have the decency to look up and acknowledge the person funding her paycheck. She asks a coworker to take care of me and heads for the kitchen. No hello, no nothing. Bad service. The lo mein has a soggy and greasy consistency. It was difficult to discern the difference in taste with the kung pao. Meh Welcome to alpine. read more

Panda Machi never disappoints, Saturday night with a full house we sat at the sushi bar. We ordered drinks and an appetizer. We ordered the chiefs special roll and the 14 piece chiefs choice nigiri plate. Everything was perfect as always. This family owned restaurant has so much going for it and with pride they serve great food. read more

Great sushi and Chinese food. Ask for a chefs roll, very unique. Most importantly, it's clean.

At 539pm, order 1 order of wings (10 wings) with white rice. Pick to be at 615pm. Come 630pm, still waiting for 10 wings. I asked for refund. No explanation, no sorry, no accountability to say we messed up and we dropped the ball. The excuse was they were busy. Meanwhile folks with large orders have came after me and left. Never coming back or recommending anyone. Knew I should have gone to Royal Mandarin. read more

The wife and I went to this restaurant, knowing that it was a place to try new items to eat... I was impressed to say that we were in for a treat... the place was packed with customers , without one table empty, as we walked in, the people were served very good.. without any complaints from us... Did not have to wait very long for us to be seated... The ambiance was that of a Chinese flair with a sushi bar... we loved all that we ordered, and had leftovers to take home... I would have to say that this was a great place to enjoy you food. We had dinner for two special fried, calamari, orange, chicken, spicy poke roll, along with a sweet and sexy roll, all was delicious read more

I've had their sushi before and it's always fresh and delicious! Everyone that works there is very polite and friendly

Good food and amazing service!! But I don't think the food is being handled correctly. I ordered a lemon roll which consists of raw fish, and it's been 4 days of stomach aches and symptoms of obvious fish mishandling... read more

Great food and great prices for a set lunch if you're in the area. I've met locals who have been going here for a long time. A great testament to their food and service. Mellow interior and service was quick. Lots of parking. read more

A cold rainy Friday night didn't keep customers away. I pulled up to the restaurant for my first visit to pick up my takeout order and the place was packed with a line of customers waiting to be seated. I knew I must have hit the jackpot ordering from this establishment. I was greeted with a smile my order was ready I took it home and was so happy with my sweet and sour soup and six fried shrimp. They didn't forget one thing Chopstick, spoon, fork plenty of soy sauce fortune cookie oh and I forgot what the fried strips are called but they were good, everything was delicious needless to say I will return this time with friends in House dining, highly recommend!!! read more

Early everyone from Alpine recommended this place for sushi. Do we decided to give it a try. I chose one of the special rolls. My husband chose a house chicken dish. My roll took forever to come out. And it was just ok. Nothing special. My husband enjoyed his dish. Let's talk about the actual restaurant. It's dirty. There was dried on food on the walls. The corners and baseboard areas were full of debris. The ceiling vents need dusting. Our wait person was inattentive and not detail oriented, not efficient. I know there's another sushi place across the street where I've only had take out from, but the food was better. read more

I just love it here. It's a little bit out of the way for us but we try to go every month or so. Chinese food? Got it! Japanese food? Got it! Sushi? Got it! What more do you need? They almost always have a table available for us every time we come in. The combos are SO worth it! Sushi rolls have yet to disappoint me! If you read my other reviews you'll know I'm big on the Sashimi. Panda machi has a great balance of quality and quantity for sashimi plates, and very fairly priced! read more

This place is a hidden gem! The quality of the food gets a 10/10 for freshness and appearance! The staff were friendly and attentive. And we didn't wait long at all to be seated and served. This place is quiet, and wasn't packed at all. The prices of these amazing rolls are very fair! And they have very fun rolls to choose from. Please try them out! I live in El Cajon, so the drive to Alpine took about 20 minutes. I would do it again! Totally worth it. read more

Delicious sushi rolls and lomein. Every time I come to Alpine, this is where we feed our Sushi fix. They have a delicious, mouth-watering dynamite sushi bowl!

Service is decent, pleasant and friendly. No delays in ordering or receiving the food. read more
