My family loves getting takeout from Panda House. Always fresh food and very friendly staff. They have the best food and it’s always prepared in the time they mention over the phone. Highly recommend!

Love this family run place. Order take out about once every 2 weeks or so. Everything is really good & fresh. Me love the Shrimp Fried Rice as 1 dish standard and then the floor is open for everything else like: orange chicken, General T bird, beef & broc, egg drop soup are any always favorite...

Amazing experience! I wish I would have taken a picture of our meal but forgot . We ordered when we arrived for dine in & our food was so hot when it arrived at our table we had to let it cool to eat it . I got the orange chicken & Lo mien / egg roll & my husband got the bourbon chicken & Lo mien / egg roll. The egg roll was fresh and crispy . Next time I will try the sweet and sour chicken . Definitely recommend! I’ve heard to order ahead if you want your food right away . It took about 10-15 mins for the food to arrive ... while they were cooking It . 5 stars plus! 30 including drinks & my husband and I ate and took half of our food home .

Great NEW family (literally their kids sit and do their school homework here) Chinese food style place that is on point with the food. Shrimp fried rice is my go to judge and this place nailed it, so Sesame chicken, shrimp w/ Lobster sauce and happy family made these bellies just as happy because all that food and under 30 bucks had us eating for dinner & my lunch the day after. All still just as good! Keep up the good work for over time your fortunes will be rewarded with dedicated customers such as myself. Fyi, I have not been compensated for my opinion.

I love the food here. It is the best I have had in a long time. It is cheaper than others as well. The place has no atmosphere per se. It is really just a glorified store front with a few tables. I have seen a few people lingering around the front and building that gave me pause. We are all going to have to police our areas or more businesses will close!

I want to the panda house for the 1st time when my sister was in town from out of state. We were in the area and just happened to see it and stopped for lunch. We got lunch specials, they were very reasonably priced and delicious. They have the best crab rangoon that I had ever tasted. I feel like I'm going to be ruined on all others. Lol. It was so good that 3 days later my husband and I went back and I got the exact same thing which was Hunan chicken and more crab rangoon. Again it was absolutely delicious and very reasonably priced. We will be going back.
