This place had the American Chinese for those who want it but the real prize is their authentic Chinese food. We ordered the scallion pancakes, mapo tofu, squirrel fish, and the dry pot duck.

We were so happy to find this place and the owner was so nice and helpful! We went today, which is a Saturday, and there was no one in there for lunch!!! This place is way better than all the busy Chinese restaurants and I still can not believe that it wasn't packed in there! If you like your food spicy tell them that you like the spice or they may tone in down for Americans.

Awesome sauce!!! Made in house, not too sweet with a hint of black pepper

As far as my 'fast food scale' goes, I really enjoy this place and I definitely go there for Chinese takeout a lot more than I should! It's family owned and operated with fast and friendly service. The owners are super kind and their adorable young kids are always there too, so watching them make a ruckus is always a treat as I wait for my order :) Their "Bean Curd (Tofu) & Mixed Vegetables" dish is super good. And they always make it extra spicy for me! They're very good about making accommodations or variations to their dishes to suit different tastes or dietary needs. I'm also a big fan of the their vegetable fried rice. Rice Wok's food is inexpensive, consistent, and their portions are very generous (I always get enough to have a leftover meal the following day). It's more of a takeout spot than an dine-in place, but they still have a small eat-in area that's always clean and tidy, as is their kitchen and waiting area. Rice Wok is the best American-style Chinese takeout I've had in GR so far in 5 years I've lived here (trust me, there are some really gross ones around these parts!). It's a pleasure having them nearby, but not so great for my waistline. :P read more

Cedar Springs' Reliable Takeout Classic; Panda Chinese Restaurant at 14111 White Creek Ave NE in…read moreCedar Springs delivers the kind of straightforward, satisfying American-Chinese meal that keeps people coming back. The sweet-and-sour chicken combination plate is a strong example of what they do well: a generous portion of battered chicken, fried rice, and a well-made egg roll, all packaged for takeout and ready to eat. The chicken arrives in large, irregular hunks with a crisp golden coating. The pieces were so substantial that I reached for kitchen shears and snipped each one into bite-size portions before I even sat down. No knife required. I call that a mixture of brilliance and laziness--the portions are that generous. The sweet-and-sour sauce comes in a small cup that belongs with the plate, not as an afterthought. You can dip each bite or pour it over the entire serving at once. I am a heavy-sauce person, and the amount they include always meets that need without leaving the chicken dry or the meal unfinished. The fried rice that comes with the combo is properly wok-seasoned, with visible bits of chicken, green onion, onion, and bean sprouts. It has enough flavor and texture to stand on its own rather than tasting like an afterthought. The egg roll is a standout: hot, crunchy wrapper and a filling that actually tastes like vegetables instead of just filler. This is the kind of no-frills local spot many people look for when they want familiar Chinese-American flavors without a long drive into Grand Rapids. Portions are large enough for leftovers, the food travels well, and the combo is an easy one-stop order. If you live in or pass through Cedar Springs and you're in the mood for classic sweet-and-sour chicken, fried rice, and a solid egg roll, Panda is worth the stop.

There may be one or two small tables, but it isn't really a place you'd sit down to eat. It seems like a family business, there's usually a middle aged couple cooking and a guy who may be their son working the counter. He's not particularly friendly. Not rude - just not friendly. Good news - the food isn't really flavorful, so they likely don't use MSG or any other flavor enhancer. Vegetables seem fresh. Egg rolls are good. The other side of this is the food is bland. Main dishes are really oily. The kitchen is right at the check out, so you can see the cooking surfaces and watch the cooking. A lot of oil. The wonton soup is made with a broth that seems canned - kind of dark gold and not like real chicken broth you find in other Chinese restaurants' wonton soup. Check your order before you leave. One of the recent times we ordered, we ordered 2 orders of wonton soup and got home to find out we had 1 wonton and 1 egg drop. They also don't give you much sweet and sour sauce and sometimes they haven't put it in our order. I always remind them or ask for another one to make sure we get some. My husband ordered friend rice (chicken fried rice?) maybe 3 weeks ago, and it was just a strange mixture.
