I was really happy with my order from Panda West! Fast, affordable, and solid takeout Chinese. I came on a Saturday mid afternoon with a friend of mine, we ordered a Kung Pao Tofu, Hunan Tofu, and veggie chow mein, all of which were ready in about 10 minutes. They ask that you call to order rather than go inside (You can't actually go inside, you can only enter the front cubicle and they come to you at that point). We didn't know, but we looked at the menu outside, called to order, and waited in the car for a bit. No big deal. The food was surprisingly good, the tofu was cooked well and the amount of sauce was spot on. As for the chow mein, it was decent. I think it was a bit dry, but still tasted good. Not the biggest fan of baby corn, so having lots of that in the chow mein was a bit of a downside, but that's just personal preference. As I mentioned earlier, you can't actually go inside. I think that's a good call, for safety of staff and customers. One person can be inside the cubicle at a time, and they'll come to unlock the door, take your payment, and have you sign the receipt (they provide hand sanitizer, so don't feel too weird about shared pens). Then they'll pass the food through and you're on your way! It's an easy and safe procedure that I really appreciate. TL;DR Pretty good food, call to order ahead of time, and enjoy! read more

My husband sent me here to get him something to eat and Wow, the guy at the register was extremely disrespectful. The moment I walked up to the register he shouted "how can I help you" with a scowl on his face. So I place the order for my husband and the guy said it would be 10 minutes, so i waited there and he SHOUTED VERY LOUD and DISCRSPECTFULLY.....EHHHHHHH!!!!! So i said WOW, you are very disrespectful and he turned his back. Never again will i order from this hateful man again! If you are African-American, I don't suggest you order here. read more

I have been ordering from here for over a decade. Service and food quality have always been consistent. I always get their lo mein, shrimp fried rice, hot and sour soup, happy family, seafood combination or eggplant in garlic sauce. They do not skimp on the seafood here. The portion sizes are fare and so are the prices. read more

Panda West - Chinese Near Me - Laurel, Maryland

This place may be good for lunch (for one person), but we won't order dinner again. Never been to any Chinese restaurant that sold wingettes as wings, and I've been eating American Chinese food for 40 years. It is basically understood that wings on a Chinese menu are whole wings, whether in a carryout or a dine-in restaurant. Over a buck per wingette? Those are BWW prices and they dress up the wings for that. No fortune cookies included, but they did include mumbo sauce. And the pupu platter was small enough to fit in a bag you get from the Olive Garden for your breadsticks. The guy at the counter could see the confusion on my face and the disappointment in asking if this order was right and complete. I kept looking in the bag to see where the rest of the wings were. No sides, no drinks, just meats. I could've walked out and just left it at that point, but I decided to pay for it. That's $22 I'll never get back, and it'll be the last time. At least the food has a nice appearance when unbagged. It tastes alright so far. Do yourself a favor and order from Yum's or Mid-Atlantic Seafood Restaurant for Chinese. They've done pretty well over the years, portion-wise, taste-wise, and price-wise. We just decided to try something new; don't go chasing waterfalls. read more

This place was awesome i had the Singapore noodles and a order of dumplings. The customer service was outstanding and the prices are a value . So give this place a try if you are in the area. read more

Reliable & tasty Chinese food- well prepared by friendly family owners who are local. And priced right. We have been happy customers for years. read more

If you look closely in the picture the fried rice was poorly done. You can still see white rice mixed in. It was probably the worst version of fried rice that I've had. My 12 year old makes better fried rice. The chicken was very bland. Considering that this is a basic dish. It was very disappointing. Surprisingly the chicken Lo-mein was good. The inside was dark and there needs to be upgrades. The staff was nice enough. I had to ask for a fork and napkins for my take out order. This place does not have seating so, I thought utensils were a basic bagged item. I try to support local businesses but I will not be back here. read more

The food is alright. Something quick and affordable to eat. I'd recommend for like lunch!

Food: So I have purchased wonton soup from this location several times. I must admit it's always boiling hot and good. I'm not even sure what these containers are made of that keeps the soup so hot. The look: Now I don't include this often in my reviews but I have to say that the place could use an upgrade or 10. It's looks really run down inside and the lighting is fairly depressing. It's not that large of a space but for foodies sake you guys can update the seating. It looks like something I would see out of the poorest location of a city. The wonton soup is really good though. But just because your food is good is not reason for the restaurant to look dingy and unkept. read more

I don't know what happened. The food used to be so good and the service too. It looks like they may have changed ownership. The last meal I got tasted stale and made me and my family sick. read more

Food was tasty as always. No Dine-In all take out. We requested snow peas with steamed tofu in white sauce and was delicious. White sauce will be low sodium not as flavorful as the brown sauce. For health reasons we use our own low sodium soy sauce when we eat them at home. read more

Just ordered sweet and sour chicken with fried rice and spring rolls. The food is mediocre, and I've had better. I usually order spring rolls from different Chinese restaurants and I'm so glad I didn't take a bite. Instead, I broke it in half and realized they put shrimp in theirs, which is unusual for me, and I'm also allergic. read more

I have ordered from them many times. I stopped because the food in my opion seems to be getting worse. The dishes don't have much protein anymore. read more

Food was not good at all. I ordered general tso chicken with shrimp fried rice. And everything was completely salty.

The portions were extremely small. One of the meals were beef and string beans, and there were way more string beans than beef. The other meal was general Tsos shrimp and it only had 1-2 pieces of broccoli. Never ordering from this place again, waste of money. If I could give zero stars I would. read more

Their food is delicious! I've had the pork fried rice and kung pao chicken. For the price, you get a lot of food, so well worth it. Hidden gem in Laurel. read more

This restaurant used to be excellent. Not so much anymore. The Egg Fu Young is still good as are the egg rolls and fried rice but the rest of the menu has really gone downhill in the last few years. Unfortunately in Laurel there are not a lot of alternatives if you want Chinese food. read more

Absolutely love this place. My go to Chinese carry out. Plus they deliver! Fried rice is awesome. I usually get beef and broccoli or hunan chicken. They have awesome lunch specials that come with fried rice and an egg roll for a great price. Much nicer than a normal "carry out". Sort of in between a sit down restaurant and carry out. Employees are super friendly and helpful. Tip: call to order instead of ordering online. You don't have to pay the extra fees. read more

Uh this place is bomb - food is always on point!!! Not really much else to say but if your food wasn't good, you must have caught them on a bad day. I have yet to have a "bad day" with Panda West. I wouldn't advise dining at the restaurant, who dines at places like these anyway? Can't base reviews off dining in a place that is commonly known for take-out. read more

This was my first time ordering here, the food was really good tasteful & not bland. The customer service was great. They delivered our food fast and I will order again. read more

Worst food ever. Spent $54 dollars on food and threw it ALL in the trash. It was complete dog food. We did carry out so we called back to complain. They said they would give us free fried rice next time. I told them not to worry that we would not be back. If you do choose to order from here don't say you were not fore warned. read more

Better do take-out than eat in. At least during summer-like weather, it's always hot. 2 stars for interior atmosphere but 4 stars for actual food. read more

Easy to order and pay over phone to go orders I have eaten here3 times I. The last month got the house special medium noodles with Lomein sauce good needed a little more sauce . ordered egg foo young 2 times 3 large pancakes and gravy on side food was hot and was so good!! Will try other items to review!!! read more

It's clear when you order from here early that they are serving food from the previous day. I ordered the General Tso and it wasn't fresh and no where near spicy. If you are craving good Chinese food. Do not eat here! read more

I ordered here because of the good food reviews online. I had ordered chicken chow mien thinking it had noodles. I called back to ask where were the noodles. They said the wonton noodles were the noodles. I asked if I can exchange it for chicken lo míen. The lady on phone said no because she would just throw it away but I can buy the chicken lo míen. I will not be going back. read more

My favorite Chinese restaurant in Laurel! Food is always fresh. They make the best chicken and broccoli.

Really good food! I order for pickup and the food is always hot. Great costumer service as well. One of the only Chinese places open during the pandemic. read more

The food is actually pretty decent but, I ordered sweet and sour chicken take out and was eating and the meal was half chicken and half shrimp, to which I am allergic. I may be a return customer but I may not. read more

Friendly, the food is made fast, and it tastes amazing! Great use spices in their food, give them a try!

If you are in the area and want Chinese food this is the place to be! They have a huge menu and would probably make you anything you asked for. It's always fresh and hot. They have an excellent "Chinese Ice Tea" which is made available to go and enough for two people. The fried chicken wings are part of the American side of their offered fare and are quite good. They are liberal with the meat and all the portions, even the lunch, are enough for two people and reasonably priced. They always seem to be open and willing to deliver. They could use some skills with the phone etiquette but I give them a pass for not having been raised here (which somehow makes the food better). (Stars are curved given the choices in the area) read more

TIP: If you order the Mongolian Beef and actually want meat-- order no veggies. Don't order the Shrimp Lo Mein if you expect shrimp (I had 4 pieces in mine) Taste is there. Definitely not worth the money though. read more

I don't usually take the time to make a review rather its good or bad but this time I just had to because I have read many "not so good" reviews about Panda West. When I walked in, I'll admit, I thought it was a bit sketchy but omg, the food was absolutely amazing. I will definitely be going back there! Take my advice, give them a shot! read more

Really great Chinese food and friendly staff make this place a winner. I will definitely be ordering more takeout from them again.

After a few of my favorite Chinese restaurants closed, I was pleased to find Panda West and excited to give it a try. The food is GREAT and full of flavor. What's even nicer is that they will customize your meal for you if you need it to be. I am picky about what veggies I like in my meal (mostly because my stomach doesn't tolerate all veggies) and when I asked them to use only specific veggies, they had no issues doing so. They steam my tofu and put the sauce on the side for me making it as healthy as possible as I am a conscientious-eater. When I call them they are incredibly nice and the food is always ready in time and correct. So glad I found them. We used to go to Asian One on Rt. 1 but they went down hill. Happy with Panda West!! Please try it you wont be disappointed. read more

This is definitely not the best Chinese place in the area. I thought it was laughable that it says Chinese, Seafood restaurant on Yelp. The Seafood is almost non existent in the dishes. I ordered the Shrimp and Broccoli, Shrimp Chow Mein, and Shrimp Lo Mein from here along with spring rolls and veggie rolls. So let me just start off by saying none of these items were near spectacular taste wise. The Shrimp Chow Mein however was the worst hands down. I was just so confused as to why it resembled a bowl of soup and the shrimp was so shriveled up. In fact the Shrimp was also shriveled up in the Lo Mein to the point that I was wondering if I forgot to add shrimp. The Shrimp and Broccoli had an unusual taste that I didn't care for. The Shrimp in the dish though was normal sized at least. I can't believe it's suppose to be the best Chinese in Laurel, MD. That tells me that I will no longer be eating Chinese in this area at all. I will say though that this place had good customer service and the my delivered to me even though I was slightly outside the delivery area. In addition they arrived when they said they would which was impressive. My suggestion is that they work on the quality of their food and do not advertise their seafood at all because it's nothing close to decent. read more

First time ordering from this place and my last. Not a fan. Food was some of the worst Chinese food I have tasted. The only thing they got right was the white rice. Ordered the Shrimp Lovers dish. Ain't no shrimp lovin' happening in this dish. The few pieces of shrimp that was in the dish was over cooked. The sauces were sweet and not spicy and savory as I expected them to be. And had a weird after taste. Can't even finish eating. I was hoping this place would be good since I just recently move close. This place being the closets Chinese Carryout. I guess I will be making a drive to get good Chinese food when I am craving it. Maybe this was a bad day for them but I am 1 and done. read more

This place used to be so good I don't know what happened.. I ordered general Tso with chicken fried rice, instead it was rung up as the dinner platter(meaning no chicken)... No problem. The portions diminished, the rice taste like cardboard, they installed new wood floor, new workers.. I used to recommend this place, now there's no point read more

We've moved to this area (Laurel) and quickly realized not a lot of Chinese restaurant actually delivers except for Panda West. We tend to order the same thing and the taste is consistent; I am a fan of their crab ragoon, the rest are just A-OK. Friendly folks over the phone and their delivery guy (usually the same person) is pleasant. read more

Been coming here ever since moving to laurel right by my place! So convenient EXCELLENT customer service, never ever EVER had bad experience the food tastes out of this world! They perfect every damn thing on the menu! I visit more than I should;) love you guys!! read more

This was my favorite Chinese place when I lived in Laurel 20 years ago. They had the best moo shoo pork - I have yet to find its equal. Image my joy to find the restaurant still here in 2016, with the excellent moo shoo recipe intact. I happy. Please note that this place is not a Panda Express. It's way better. My kids agree that the sweet and sour chicken is good, and the wife likes her Szechuan. Recommended. read more
