    Orange chicken fries
    Ivette z.

    I used to go to a Mongolian BBQ place in Westwood when I went to ucla and I have been trying to find one in OC. This place definitely scratched that itch. It was SO good. They also have a Chinese food buffet, but my favorite was easily the Mongolian bbq. Also, everyone kept coming in to get the orange chicken fries so we of course had to try it...I get the hype. Super yummy. Will be going back soon!

    To go menu.

    Stopped for the weekend buffet since we came to Starbucks. Food is fresh and tasty. Lots of shrimp dishes, coconut and salt & pepper were really good. Hot & sour soup was really good. Fresh self serve Mongolian bbq. It's of options and lots of sauce options Jazz music and intimate. Wasn't busy at 338 pm. Great service. Worth a try.

    A friend and I wanted to try a Mongolian BBQ place near us, but they are closed on Monday. I found a few other options, and we decided to come and try Panda Mongolian BBQ. They are located in a strip mall, and we arrived around 6pm. There was plenty of parking and a lot of seating available inside. We walked in, and I told the woman at the register it was our first time here, and she told us how it works. The restaurant is spotless. They apparently had an ownership change in January, and it looks like a brand new restaurant. There are three booths along the front window, and a good number of tables as well. There are two food stations, one for Mongolian BBQ and one Chinese food, and the price for both is $7.99 per pound. For the Mongolian BBQ, you grab a bowl and fill it with your ingredients. The four available proteins are beef, pork, chicken, and shrimp and they were all very chilled. There is also a big spread of veggies and noodles at the end. All of the veggie containers and noodles were full and very fresh, as they appeared to be ready for the evening dinner crowd. Once you have loaded up your bowl, you take it to the cook and tell them which combination of the six sauces you would like. I loaded my bowl with beef, shrimp, a little pork, jalapenos, green peppers, mushrooms, and noodles. I took my bowl to the grill and told the cook I wanted the #1 Spicy Garlic Sauce which the host said was very popular. The cook then prepares it for you, and puts it in a to-go container. Take the container to the register to weigh and pay, then grab a seat or head out. The Chinese food is buffet style and is already prepared. You just load up your container, weigh, and go. They are apparently known for their Orange Chicken Fries which I'll have to come back and try. My container was a little under a pound and cost a tad bit over $8 after tax. The food was cooked perfectly, was fresh, flavorful, delicious, and filling. I went heavy on the protein and light on the noodles, it's all the same price. I don't know where you're going to find a better bargain than this for delicious Mongolian BBQ.

    Amazing value and delicious food. The staff were friendly and super helpful during our first visit. The staff also were very kind to kids. This is a great place for families because you have many options. We will definitely be return customers!

    $7.99 per pound ~ $16 plate

    At $7.99 per pound, fresh of the wok entrees, you can have some real fun DIYing a plate! Lots of self service but staff is attentive to make sure you get taken care of! They're under new management and they actually had a 20% promo when i went too! Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating as well! Food quality is actually my favorite part. Plenty of tasty options like honey shrimp, orange chicken, bbq pork!

    Went back a few days ago with some friends. We used to go here once a month years ago. Glad to say we'll be doing that again now! We had no issues with the service so that's great. Food was delicious, even my pickiest eater friend loved it. The Chinese food buffet area was hot and fresh. Overall it looks like they're off to a great start!

    Orange chicken fries

    What a hole in the wall gem of a place! You pick out your items in a bowl and take it to the grill where you can pick your sauces! I like the garlic ponzu sauce the best. Teriyaki one was a bit sweet. The fire dragon sauce is like black pepper. Try all and see which one u like! After it's cooked, you take it to the register and you'll weigh it and pay. As of the date of writing this, it's $7.99 a pound. You can also get Chinese food by the pound, they have like honey walnut shrimp, char siu, fried rice, chow mein, orange chicken, etc. The place is very clean and well maintained! Customer service is also A+! Also... GET THE ORANGE CHICKEN FRIES. IT IS SO GOOD!!!!

    (Friday 3pm) I absolutely loved it! Service was beyond amazing! Explained to us the options and the steps since it was our first time there. Ambiance was very open friendly and casual. Definitely can see myself with a group of friends here. Portion size definitely depends on how much YOU want to eat. They have two plate sizes; small and large (Mongolian) Each pound (1lbs) is $7.99. They have Chinese food or Mongolian, can do both if you choose. I will say this place needs more decor and a bit more of ventilation but besides these minor details I highly recommend!!! Cleanliness 9/10 Service 10/10 Location 8/10 Ambiance 8/10 Portions 10/10 Overall 9/10 I will definitely be going back! *everyone has different experiences, remember to be kind.*

    5/5 Panda Mongolian BBQ exceeded my expectations! The orange chicken fries were absolutely amazing fresh, flavorful, perfectly cooked, and some of the best I've had. Every bite was delicious, and the presentation of the food was excellent. The restaurant itself is clean, comfortable, and beautifully maintained. It wasn't overcrowded, which made the dining experience even more enjoyable. A special thank you to Joann at the front for her outstanding customer service. She was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and made us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. Great food, great atmosphere, and great service. I highly recommend Panda Mongolian BBQ and will definitely be returning. 5 out of 5 stars!

    Orange Chicken Fries
    Mai P.

    I came to try out this place because I saw that the store has changed owners and changed into something completely different. I was so excited to try this place out, especially with how great the marketing was about their promotions and menu items. I have been here quite a couple of times already previously to this, so here are picture references to what I've bought: Mongolian BBQ and Orange Chicken Fries! I always do the build your own per lb. with the #4 Dragon sauce because I think it's the most flavorful. Every other sauce is good as well, but I just preferred #4! This place is very self-explanatory--you get a bowl and you just stuff it with all the things you want. And if you need another bowl for noodles separately you can do so and they would still cook it altogether for you. The buffet area goes by $7.99/lb, same concept as the previous, but pre-cooked and all you need to do is weigh at the end and pay. The owners and the staff are all so generally nice! The middle aged man and woman that's usually upfront is always so so kind and happy to see new and previous customers which makes the mood so much more pleasant and not as unwelcoming. There's lots of seating areas with warm lighting to sit so you have plenty of space to chill. It's always so clean when I come in and that's something I think says a lot about this place. 100% recommend you to try out this place and if it's not your thing, at least you said you tried it! Food is absolutely delicious and the price per lb doesn't hurt anyone either!

    So so yum! Been…read morehere twice. First one was on a whim, my partner and I were needing a snack and decided to just try it and see. We ended up ordering beef dumplings and shrimp dumplings. And it was all delish. Beef dumplings were a 7/10 for me. Not a huge beef fan but they were still enjoyable. The shrimp was our fave, we ordered 2 orders. The ambiance is chill and the restaurant was kid friendly. Our servers were super attentive and gave recommendations as we requested. I went a second time about a week later with my sister, tried the chicken dumplings, the beef noodles & the shrimp Dumplings again. We LOVED the noodles. 10/10. Highly recommend!

My family and I ordered the shrimp siu mai, pan fried beef buns, sesame balls, and spring rolls. The shrimp siu mai tasted so good! I can mostly taste the shrimp, and that's the best part, in my opinion! Next, let's talk about the beef buns. The broth is sweet, and the beef itself is tasty. I really liked the bread, or dough. The top part tasted sweet, like a dessert. The bottom part tasted and felt like the texture of the spring rolls. Oh, and let me tell you, the beef buns are huge. Looking at the photos, I expected them to be size of those toy mouses or a fortune cookie. But hey, that's fine! The sesame balls were good, though it's not my cup of tea. I do appreciate the fact it has mochi inside! The spring rolls tasted awesome! It tastes better with the orange looking sauce the server gave us. I believe it's called the sweet and sour sauce, or so my mom says. To me, it tasted like an average spring roll without the sauce. Finally, the environment. It seems to be giving a modern vibe. The chairs are comfortable to sit in. Since we got here at 1 PM, it wasn't very packed like we would see. It had a slight amount of noise. Overall, I give this experience a 10/10! I would love to visit here again! I definitely recommend this restaurant!

Monday through Friday they offer great lunch pricing. They also had lunch pricing for the weekends as well. And they had great family combo sets which is what I went with.

Before our food came out the nice waitress brought us complementary fried wontons and sweet & sour sauce to munch on. It was a great start to our meal. The eggrolls were vegetarian. And for my soup I got the hour & sour which was really nice and comforting. The person I came with got their egg drop option which they enjoyed. For rice we went with the fried rice option instead of just white rice. It was on the blander side but we dressed it up with some table soy sauce. The chow mien was good but the texture of the chicken in it was a little odd. We still chowed down on it though. The beef broccoli was probably the best thing there. It was so flavorful. The orange chicken were very large pieces. The sauce on it was good. We were blown away by how much food we got and ended up having a lot of left overs. Our entire meal was priced slightly below $50. What a great deal! Our waitress was super nice and food came out quick. She made sure to check on us. The inside of the restaurant is casual but spacious.

The carrot side dish was very delicious. == SERVICE == We order through the QR code at the table. Staff are very quick to bring utensils and water to the table.
