Dumplings, noodles, and comfort in every bite. Uncle Bao, also known as Uncle Panda Dumpling & Noodle House, is a cozy Glendale spot serving handmade dumplings, flavorful noodles, soups, and classic Chinese comfort dishes. We shared a little bit of everything: Pork Wonton in Chicken Broth 鸡汤馄饨 Xiao Long Bao 猪肉灌汤包 Scallion Pancake 葱油饼 Braised Beef Noodle Soup 红烧牛肉面 Pan-Fried Chicken & Corn Dumplings 鸡肉玉米煎饺 Everything was warm, satisfying, and packed with flavor. The kind of meal that makes you want to order one more dish "just to try it." A great local spot for dumpling lovers, noodle cravings, and cozy comfort food. read more

I have been eyeing this place as I have been craving BBQ PORK BUNS. Today I had a marketplace purchase in the area. I decided to stop and give it a try as I saw it on Yelp when searching for bbq buns. Asian food is a top favorite and normally get at a good dim sum place. Ok interior is nice reminds me of maybe a former bbq restaurant. I may have done 5 stars but it chaps my hide when restaurants charge for soda water the same cost of a soda. Note not canned or bottled but same as that from the fountain. Ok to the food good my favor it is the Bao Pork belly bun peanuts and pickled veggies 5 stars. Next is the soup dumplings first time having got full but sampled 3 different ones need to try the others 4 stars. The Bbq pork buns good chunks of pork pork in the middle 3 stars. I'm going to come back and try some of the other food. Fluffy Grandma Recommends read more

What a delightful find! My son and DIL eat here often and I love that they introduced me to this wonderful place. They have a unique take on dandan noodles that is really yummy. I appreciate that it is not "saucy", but full of flavor - the spice leaves a warm coat on your tongue. We also had yummy soup dumplings (but it is weird that they don't give you a spoon to eat them). The pork buns were very good as well. I definitely will be back to try more. read more

Could have way better portions for what they charge. Ordered takeout and the fried rice barely came with any meat, not enough egg in the egg drop soup, and beef noodle soup with 5 small cubes of beef and a quarter of a single bokchoy Could be different for dine-in. read more

Uncle Panda has quickly become a favorite for me! I used to have to make the trek to Mesa when I wanted some good Chinese food, but now I can just go a few minutes down the road. The staff is friendly and the restaurant is spacious and clean. My favorite items on the menu have to be (in no particular order) the Roujiamo, pork and shrimp pan fried dumplings, the cucumber salad, the fungus salad, the green beans, the cold beef and tendon, and the hot and sour soup. I definitely recommend coming with a group of people so you can order a bunch if food and then share it all. Only note is that they could do without playing the entirety of Taylor Swift's discography every time I visit. read more

West valley gem. Warm service from the aunties. Braised pork, dumplings, what else do I need.

Our second time visiting this establishment. It was not too busy at 11-12noon on Good Friday. Restaurant was clean and service super efficient. For food, we tried the assorted xiao long bao, pan-fried pork and cabbage dumplings (order first as it required 20 mins!), bulgogi beef rice bowl, and braised beef noodles soup. The surprise and delight ended up to be the beef rice bowl. The beef was flavorful and it was very satisfying with rice and a fried egg on top. The xiao long bao on the other hand, were not quite up to their regular standards. The dumpling skin was a bit mushy and the filling on the dry side. Noodles in the braised beef noodles soup were overcooked while the chunky beef pieces were decent and tender. We will return but definitely want to get better soup dumplings. read more

My friend and I never pass up a good dumpling, so we were excited to find Uncle Panda in our area! Definitely check their hours before you visit as they take a break some days. We visited at 2 pm on Thursday, so just an hour before their 3 pm break. The restaurant was not very busy, but it was a weird time. We ordered the scallion pancakes, chicken and corn dumplings, and the chicken teriyaki buns. I liked that the food arrived staggered instead of all at once, so we had time to enjoy each dish before the next one arrived. I had never tried a bun before, so I didn't know what to expect. I really liked it! All of the food was great. The interior of the restaurant was nice as well, with a modern/industrial vibe. It's pretty spacious inside and they had large tables available that would work well for big groups. I could definitely see us returning here! read more

Always so yummy! This is the third time and flavors and service remain the same!! Our favorite is the dumplings in the sauce. It does have peanuts but I think that makes it all come together.

They close for a couple hours in the middle of the day so make sure you know their hours. We got there when they reopened at 4:30pm, which is right before the dinner rush. We came because their concept was so cute. It was our first time. We had a fabulous time. Food was good. Egg drop soup was very good, but a little over salted. - 4 out of 5. The fried green beans were amazing - 5 out of 5. The soup dumplings were very god, juicy - 5 out of 5 Pork & shrimp dumplings were good but a little dry - 4 out of 5. The Dan Dan noodles were great. My cousins loved it more than I did but we agreed to give it 5 out of 5. They gave a whole menu full of cute Baos but we didn't order any. It was a clean restaurant and the service was great. We had a good time. read more

Was so excited to try this place since there aren't that many authentic Asian spots in Glendale but I was so disappointed Parking was no issue since they have their own lot and plenty of parking Service was decent, they were pretty attentive and friendly Food was so underwhelming. Got the pork, shrimp, chives dumplings ($13.99 - 10 pieces) and it didn't taste fresh nor was there much meat or shrimp inside. It was very disappointing and not delicious at all. 5/10 Braised Beef Noodle Soup ($14.99) was so disappointing. The broth was so salty and literally tasted like soy sauce water. Beef was not too tender and the noodles didn't taste freshly made. This was a 5/10 Orange chicken ($13.99) was ok, nothing too special. A lot of batter and not much meat. 5/10 Would not return or recommend read more

I was actually shocked by this place, I read mixed reviews but wanted to come and try it. We all loved it, such a big menu so there is something for everyone. It was hard to pick what to get but I loved the soup dumpling. The sweet and sour chicken and chow mien were on par. The noodle soup had a great broth flavor but I wasn't a fan of the meat but that's okay just a preference. I can't wait to go back and try more options. The restaurant is in a strip mall but don't let that detour you. It's clean and the staff is friendly. read more

I've been here multiple times and love this restaurant! Last night my family got Dan Dan noodles, orange chicken, pan fried pork dumplings, and vegetable buns. We have also gotten the character buns before, which my daughter loves. It's so cool to see them making the dumplings right out in front. This is a great kid-friendly restaurant option with so many tasty dishes! read more

This place is hit or miss. We dined in here a while back and had a good experience. When we ordered our take out this weekend there was an issue with the restaurant receiving it. I arrived to pick it up on Saturday night, and waited in line to be helped for about 5-10 minutes. It was busy, but no one really acknowledged any of us waiting in line, and it was kind of confusing trying to figure out if there were different lines for guests trying to eat in or take out. The line was also in the middle of the restaurant which made it awkward for the guests dining in and the servers trying to mi e around. When it was my turn, and we learned that our food had not even been started, it was a bit frustrating. I left to run another errand and when I came back 20min. Later, the food was ready. Luckily, all of the food we ordered was delicious. The small steam pork soup buns were good, but probably would have tasted better fresh at the restaurant. We also ordered the beef and green onions dumplings, Mongolian beef, house fried rice, fried mandu, and an order of their seasonal bunny happy bao buns. Like I said, everything was delicious and worth the wait. However, I might not use the websites ordering platform again and see if about ordering through door dash or another app. read more

The three of us came here last evening and enjoyed a Chinese comfort food extravaganza. Even for a busy Friday night, we were seated promptly and found Uncle Panda inviting. The servers were attentive, but not on top of you and everything went smoothly throughout our meal. We ordered five different appetizers to share: Scallion Pancakes, Pork Cabbage Gyoza Dumplings, Egg Chives Pancakes, Szechuan style Chili Wontons, Bulgogi Beef and Rice with a Fried Egg on top and a ten piece Korean Garlic Boneless Chicken entrée. All items were tasty and hit our craving spot. Nice! Our tab came to $82.92 before taxes and gratuities, which for three us seemed about right. We will be back on our next AZ trip for more. read more

This place is not what I expected! I thought it would be smaller from just looking at things online but when we got there it was really dope inside! it's a nice size space with tables and kinda like an open kitchen type set up so you see everything and everybody. It was crowded inside and everyone seem to be enjoying their food. They had a lot of people come in and grab food to go and Uber eats type of thing. So they are busy and they are doing their job. if you have a party of at least 10 or 12 I'm sure they would accommodate for that. The service was beautiful and they made sure you liked your food and got what you ordered. You sit where you want when you come in and you're greeted with smiles and almost kinda feels like love because I think they know their food is the bomb. So you're probably wondering why the four stars... There is this spice they use that almost is like a peppermint or spearmint type of reaction you have so when you're eating, you have all this goodness in your mouth and then all of a sudden you're like, "am I chewing gum"?! I didn't care for it so, that is the reason for the four stars, other than that, it's was very, very good. We ordered the fried green beans, hot fried fish, the mini popcorn fried chicken, white rice, Thai tea, some dumplings (not sure what kind)! Everything was bomb! The fish was so good and light and flaky! I will order that and the chicken every time we go. And the green beans. We wanna try more dumplings, so that'll be next on the list. The ones we had.. actually my husband and sons ate them, And they said they were very good. I'm looking forward to trying the soup dumplings cause I've had those in New York and they were so delicious. read more

There's not much to say about this restaurant located in a strip mall with plenty of parking, except that I found my Dim Sum and Dumpling spot. This restaurant is close enough to us being in Glendale, Arizona. It is clean and open inside with plenty of table seating and booth seating along the wall. There's an open view to the kitchen and you can watch the chefs preparing the dumplings and wontons. Our servers were really friendly and checked on us frequently. My daughter and I ordered: - BE5. THAI TEA 泰式奶茶 - Can of Coca-Cola - A1. VEGGIE SPRING ROLLS (2 PCS) - W2. PORK WONTON IN CHILI SAUCE 红油抄手 (I think this is my favorite all-around - so comforting and yummy and the chili sauce is not that spicy) - N4. JAPANESE STYLE RAMEN 日本拉面 (daughter said this was her least favorite of what we ordered but still good) - SIGNATURE STEAMED DUMPLINGS D3. BEEF WITH GREEN ONIONS 牛肉青葱 10 PCS (all around good comfort food and so delicious) - PD1. PAN-FRIED DUMPLINGS - PORK, SHRIMP AND CHIVES 猪肉虾韭菜煎饺 8 PCS (Recommended by our server and very good!) We wanted to try a little bit of everything so we had some leftovers to take home which my daughter devoured later that night. Each dish comes with a little dipping sauce. We had such a good time at this spot. Everything was so delicious and comforting. We will definitely be back when a craving for some dumplings or wontons hits us again. read more

We came here looking for something different than places we normally go to. We actually ate here during their soft opening a few years ago and thought the food was decent. We ordered our food and they looked amazing, but that's where it went downhill. I ordered a bowl of rice and it was half cooked and mushy. I told the waitress and she said one of the rice cookers were broken and it would be another 15-20min before the other one would be done. If it's broken and the rice is half cooked, why would you serve it and charge your customers for it?! She willingly removed it from my order, but then I overheard another waitress speaking in Chinese under the breath of her voice "if you don't like it, why did you order it?" That was very rude of her, but since she wasn't our main server, I let that go. Next came the food itself. For the most part it was good, but.... Yes, there's a but. Every dish was so salty! So much MSG and salt in every dish. Without the rice, it was so difficult to eat. Even the ramen that we ordered for the kids was salty. We were so disappointed and hoping that it's just a fluke of the kitchen staff being a little heavy handed that day with the salt. If it wasn't for these 3 things, I would give them a 4 or even 5 stars. It's unfortunate. Not sure we will be back for a while. 2 stars for the knowingly to attempt serving half cooked rice, the remarks made, and the salty food. read more

Good food. I enjoyed all four items we ordered: custard buns, shrimp and egg dumplings, chicken sticky rice, and chicken buns. It was the two of us, so we were full, but as a dim sum lover, I want to try a few more plates, even if the portion per plate was small. That's hard to do because almost every plate costs more than $10. A typical dim sum place would be cheaper than that. The service was generally good. The staff was friendly, but maybe because it was a pretty full restaurant when we went, we waited for them to come for a while for the menu, drinks, check, etc. It's a pleasant atmosphere. I enjoyed listening to Mandarin pop music as a BGM. It brought back some fond memories :) read more

Food: 4 stars - we ordered (take-out) the BBQ Pork Steamed Buns and the Pork Wonton in Chili Sauce. The Steamed Buns were not bad. Good flavor in the BBQ pork filling and baos were soft and fluffy. I enjoyed it. The Pork Wontons were okay. Pretty bland to be honest. Perhaps because the chili sauce had zero spice to it? Portion size of the wontons were good and tasted fresh but that chili sauce had very little flavor and zero spice to it; even my wife who cannot handle spicy at all said it was not even the least bit spicy. The crushed peanuts were an interesting garnish but it adds a nice crunch factor. Service: 2 stars - it's run by older Chinese folks who do not have the best customer service. No greeting at the door, very blunt back and forth, and not what you'd expect from a more modernized establishment. Ambiance: 4 stars - the interior is nice and more modern for a Chinese restaurant. It's got a nice vibe. Overall: 3 stars - we would definitely give this spot another chance. read more

I generally love this place and think the food is fantastic. I've enjoyed Xiao Long Bow, dumplings, egg drop soup and scallion pancakes. Today, I tried beef fried rice.

I was in Glendale visiting my mom and we got hungry, and while googling nearby restaurants...suddenly we discovered Uncle Panda! We went on a Sunday afternoon and there was no wait, but it was still busy enough. We sat down and our order was taken quickly. It also didn't take long before our food arrived at the table. We ordered the beef and green onion dumplings -- it comes with 8, but mom already grabbed one by the time I got my phone ready for a picture. We were hungry! They were clearly handmade and absolutely delicious. It takes a bit longer for the dumplings to be made, but so worth it as these are definitely not the typical frozen dumplings dumped in a fryer. We also had Dan Dan Noodles which were amazing in texture and just mildly spicy, plus the cucumbers in garlic sauce. The cool freshness of the cucumbers and the warmth of the noodles were a great contrast. Overall, we absolutely have plans to come back again! I'm going to also come here with my friends next time we are in the Glendale area. Highly recommend, wish one was in the east valley too! read more

Our close friends suggested meeting up at Uncle Panda's Dumpling. According to my friend, "This is one of the first types of cuisine (Taiwanese) here in this area." The restaurant has quite a large parking lot to support the businesses in this section. The restaurant is fairly new, about 10 months old. The decor is nice, modern and clean. Inside dining only. The service was friendly, helpful, and attentive. Maybe she is one of the owners. Mongolian Beef (3.5/5) - the beef was fairly tender and good. There wasn't much spice/kick to it. Fairly, straightforward beef with green onions and yellow onions. Scallion Pancake (4/5) - good, classic crispiness. Xiao Long Bao Dumpling (3/5) - Please allow 12-15 min for this if you didn't know. Meaty, but it didn't have any soup in the dumpling. Sad face. Pan Fried Pork Buns (3/5) - like steamed white Buns. I wish the bottom was a bit more crispy or crunchy. Otherwise, it was still good. Pork Won Ton in Chicken Broth (3/5). My wife enjoyed this. But she thought the won ton wrapper was a bit thick. Custard Buns (4/5) - creamy sweet inside. I liked this. Tsingtao Beer - My friend said, "They know how to serve a nice cold beer" I'd come back to try some of their other dishes like the noodle soups, or dry pots, etc. Overall, 3.5 stars rounding up for service and all they offer on their menu. read more
