Panda Inn Restaurant

First time here, great for groups, and quick service. Karen was a very good server, attentive and checked in on us frequently.
We ordered Won ton soup, lo mein noodles and fried rice. Both were combination items with chicken, beef and pork. Good strong flavors, my only complaint was I had no Chilli oil due to our 2 year old eating with us. Good tasting food, will be returning.

Food food here is pretty good. I have been here many times. But, it is very pricey for Chinese food.

So so yummy. Miss the good CA Chinese restaurants. We loved the honey walnut shrimp! Good, central location close to my So Cal office. plan on going back!

It’s basically Panda Express’ «fancier» big sister, with your standard American Chinese fare. Started off with the minced chicken lettuce cups and assorted wonton soup, followed with Honey Walnut Shrimp, Kung Pao medley, Orange Chicken and BBQ Pork Lo Mein. Everything was good, fresh ingredients, cooked well, without overly sweetened syrupy sauces like at Panda Express.
Apparently they have a $ 25 Sunday Brunch buffet with unlimited champagne and Mai Tais. I peeked in the buffet area — sushi rolls, tuna sashimi, a noodle soup bar, fried rice, honey walnut shrimp and a few other standard favorites. Definitely something worth checking out if you have a large appetite for food and alcohol!
For the quality of food and the price, plus the 6 free white chocolate fortune cookies with Unilocal check-​in, I’d give it a solid 3.5 stars.

Ok so we have been here a little more than a few times before. We actually came here on one of our first dates years ago and it has always been really good. Today we stopped in after PT and we ordered something different than what we usually do, we ordered walnut shrimp and mangolian beef. They were pretty good. As always:) our waiter was nice and attentive. Would we come here again? YES… Do we recommend this place? YES… Is the food delicious? YES. Is the food pricey ?$o $o. It’s very tranquil in here and always a good
they usually have Jasmine tea but today I had hot tea.:) Thanks panda inn.

3 stars because:
customer service was good. Very nice server and the atmosphere was welcoming and quick.
But…
Food, it’s just like a high end Panda Express and nothing more.
Will I come back? Probably not because of the price.

I have been to panda inn a total of 3 times and I absolutely love it! Every time I’ve been here, not only do I think their food is amazing, but also their service! The workers are so nice and they make sure their guess leave happy and satisfied. My Favorite dish to get is the Chow Fun Noodles. Overall though all their dishes are great. Their Hot and sour soup though just puts me to heaven lol I’m over obsessed with that soup. Even the steamed rice alone has a unique taste.

I love this place. I have had food here about 20 to 25 times and half the time it was dine-​in and of course the other half was take out. We have always had good experiences. If you go here thinking it is going to be like Panda Express… just a little fancier… you are wrong… it is much better (and I like Panda Express).
Location– conveniently located off the 91 fwy on Orangethorpe/​Valley View exit. The parking has never been a problem and we have parked directly in front of the restaurant. The interior is decorated in a cool and relaxing way.
Staff– the staff working the front area to sit people and handle to-​go orders are very good. The wait staff is friendly, but tend to be hard to find at times and don’t check up on the table enough
Food/​Prices– I surprisingly haven’t tried a lot of their menu… found things I have liked and kinda kept ordering those items. By far the best from here would be: braised string beans, lo-​mein noodles, honey walnut shrimp, and the delicious white chocolate covered fortune cookies. The other items I have tried here that are really good would be: scallops and asparagus in a black bean sauce, kung pao chicken, and orange chicken

Let’s get straight to the point– we loved it here. The interior is very fancy. Among the things we ordered, we got chow fun, panda special, dumplings, mushu wraps, and sweet and sour soup. They were all really good and fairly surprising considering how difficult it can be to find good Chinese food.
I also got a White Gummy Panda– AMAZING ! So good!
The service is great. They served us our food down to making our wraps for us and pouring our soup. We will definitely be coming back. We’re super curious about brunch.

Think of Panda Express but food quality is better, the place is fancier, and the prices are more expensive.
I never really got the chance to do a dine-​in experience but each time I’ve ordered from them, I always am happy with my food! I usually get the Chow Mein or Low Mein & Egg Drop Soup. The soup is the
& the shrimp in the noodles are HUGE & they do not hold back on the amount they give you (reflects the price you’re paying).
When my order isn’t ready or they required me to wait, they would offer me a glass of water w/​lemon & have just a pleasant attitude. Great service!
This place is definitely fancier than any other Asian restaurant I’ve been to. It’s in the middle of Panda Express & high-​end Chinese food. Oh, and CHECK-​IN! You get 6 fortune cookies for free & it’s the good kind too! (White Chocolate Dipped cookies)

First time here and I was impressed. Nice ambiance, great selection of food, and wonderful servers. I’ll definitely be coming back again to try more of their selections.

We got the Panda Beef, Honey Walnut Shrimps, Chicken Fried Rice and Short Rib Sliders. Amazing! The sliders were flavorful and perfect sized. Panda beef was super crispy even with a coating of the sauce which was good balance of tangy and sweet, though not spicy. The shrimp was amazing and had a great texture and freshness. The servings were large especially for the price. Hung was our server and he was checking in and refilling drinks in addition to being very friendly. To top it off, the fortune cookies are dipped in white chocolate and were super yummy.
Overall great experience. Would recommend and come back.

Came here on a Sunday and their brunch looks amazing! It smells amazing too! You can tell by the crowd and busy parking lot that this is the place to be. They have a Brunch package with Mai Tais! How much better can you get!
The staff are always friendly, helpful, attentive, and busy. Despite being very busy they always make a point to acknowledge the customer & assist them in a timely fashion.
The décor here is wonderful, detailed, and fantastic up to the stained glass windows depicting hugging momma & baby panda bears. Love it! You’ll have to come see in person to get the full effect.

This review is for Sunday brunch. I rate this about 3.5 stars but the bottomless mimosas and the ½ dozen free fortune cookies with my Unilocal check in sway me to bump it up to 4 stars.
The food is decent. They have a small sushi selection. 2 types or rolls and salmon and tuna sashimi. When i first came in around 1 the buffet seem kinda bare, but when i came back for round two, everything was refreshed and full. They have a noodle soup bar and one of the workers stood there making whatever your heart desires.
I am not a big fan of panda express, but panda Inn gets my A. ok

Visited Panda Inn for the 4^th time, but this time for Brunch I am such a fan of this delicious Chinese food establishment! The brunch selection didn’t seem as big as other ‘brunch’ restaurants, but they had just enough of everything you would like and more!
Their food is seriously delicious! Combo fried rice, chow mein, orange chicken, honey walnut shrimp, make your own soup station, appz, dessert and more!
At $ 25 a person, drinks included– Mimosas, Mai-​Tais, Soft Drinks, Tea it’s a steal! The Mai Tai’s are amazeballs! Let’s just say I had 1, 2 many… lol
Visist Panda Inn, when in need of a chinese food fix, and are tired of panda express with their boring food, or paying an arm & a leg at PF’s!
Don’t forget to get and eat your white chocolate dipped fortune cookie!

My initial thought when I first walked in was how fancy everything looked. You’ll find there to be a nice little bar area for some alcoholic beverages as soon as you walk in. Coming in at peak dinner hours, my party of 4 were seated immediately.
I had to use the men’s room to freshen up a bit and found a humble little restroom which was equipped with one urinal and toilet (
). The black tiles were a nice touch though. It kind of reminded me of the Ministry of Magic where Dumbledore and Lord Voldemort carried out their epic battle. I kind of had to sit there a bit and lose myself in how amazing Harry Potter is… but I digress.
The ambiance is quite nice. You’ll find there to be what looks to be some mahogany or some other type of wood lining along the walls giving it a bold and luxurious presence (
). There are also some chinese sculpture embellishments along the walls to enhance Panda Inn’s magnificence. Panda Inn is quite spacious and can accommodate large parties. My friend told me about how one of the wedding receptions he took part in was held there. Which, I thought, was pretty impressive… but I digress.
What I came here for was for food and it was food that I got. My three star review is based on the service and the food… which was just okay. There was absolutely nothing wrong with either… Just that, there was nothing extraordinary to set them apart. They took our orders and brought out our food within an acceptable time frame (10 minutes). I feel like everything was over priced though. Perhaps the prices were merely jacked up for the ambiance? For the food alone, the price was not worth it.
Ordered goodies:
Tea Smoked Duck:
The duck was okay. It was definitely smoked, but I couldn’t exactly make out the tea. The portion size was a disappointment though. The duck came out perfectly crispy and slightly salty. The saltiness balanced itself rather well with the sweet white buns and the fresh cucumbers.
Orange chicken:
Much better than the orange chicken from Panda Express… but certainly not worth the price. It just tasted ordinary. But hey! My friend can get whatever she wants… an ordinary plate of orange chicken.
20 vegetable fried rice w/​brown rice:
This item was not too bad. It definitely tasted really clean, healthy, and not overly seasoned. This was a nice contrast compared to everything else.
6 free fortune cookies with checking in:
…these fortune cookies were no joke. They really take their fortune cookies seriously. I mean… really? They’re absolutely amazing! They had some serious gourmet thing going on. The fortune cookies seemed like they were homemade? Absolutely crunchy with a well balanced touch of white chocolate. I believe one of my fortunes said that there will be joy when I take a chance/​leap of faith. Please LORD!!! Let that be the truth. It’s never easy when you’re taking a leap. But how will there be progress if that leap is never taken. May the risks incur great benefits!
Anyways, this place is relatively close to my house. I’ll probably check this place out again to try their other items. Perhaps I’ll revisit their bathroom and watch that Harry Potter scene on my phone. That would make things extra special.

Came here on a Saturday night for dinner, they were able to seat us right away, the interior is beautiful. Very nice statues, high ceilings, different rooms to eat/​dine at. The place is very clean, the service was good, our server was very nice but not as attentive as we would have liked.
We ordered the chicken lettuce wraps which I will not do again, they weren’t good at all. I’ve had better elsewhere, hot and sour soup, lo mein and their garlic chicken. Everything came out hot and very good. I especially enjoyed the garlic chicken and the other people in my party loved the lo mein. I can definitely see myself coming back with the rest of my family and just having a big family get together here. The prices were very reasonable and my all time favorite is their white chocolate fortune cookies. The fortune isn’t good but the cookies are.
If you check in on Unilocal you get 6 free fortune cookies now that’s what I call a deal. Definitely recommend! This place is located in the Centerpointe shopping center.

Panda Inn remains one of my favorite Chinese restaurants.
I don’t come often but when I do, it never disappoints. Whether it’s dining at Panda Inn for lunch, dinner or Sunday Brunch, the food remains consistently good.
One of the must try dishes is the Walnut Shrimp. They are famously known for this dish which is served with large battered shrimp plus walnuts sweetly glazed. Another popular item is their combination chow mein which is served with chicken, beef and pork. The combination fried rice is equally as tasty as the chow mein. The portions are generous and you customers get alot of bang for their buck.
Make sure to try the White Chocolate covered Fortune Cookies at the end of your meal.
Service is consistent and management has always been great when accommodating larger parties. On one occassion, I was given a private large room for our party of 10 without even having to request.
With that being said, the food is very good, service is great and prices affordable. Panda Inn remains as one of my top favorite on my Chinese restaurant list.

So my mom introduced me to this place years back and it is definitely one of our fave spots! The place is pretty large with lots of seating. They also have private rooms you can reserve for a special occasion. The food is served in family portions so it’s perfect for groups. The ceilings inside are tall so it makes it roomy with cute décor on the walls. Of course some cuddly panda art!
There are so many good things on the menu that you can easily rack up a large bill at the end of the night! Everything is ordered in family size so keep in mind that you’ll be sharing. Everything sounds so good that you want to taste it all and end up ordering to many plates! Well, that’s why they have to go boxes!
Now as for the delicious food that we eat!
Wonton Soup 5 stars– this is my favorite app. We always start with the soup which is seasoned perfectly. It has shrimp, chicken, BBQ pork, dumplings, carrots, water chestnuts, kale and probably more I’m missing. Love how much stuff is in it! It comes in a big bowl and the server scoops it out just right for each person at the table.
Calamari 3.5 stars– it is supposed to come spicy but we order it not spicy for the kiddos. It’s good but nothing special. The breading is garlicky and tastes good with some squeezed lemon juice on it.
Three ingredient special 4 stars– chicken, shrimp and beef with broccoli and mushrooms in a mushroom soy sauce! Great flavor and I love mushrooms!
Phoenix chicken 3 stars– it’s pretty much orange chicken. Too tangy for my likes and a bit over cooked which makes the dough to crunchy.
Honey walnut shrimp 5 stars– this is a favorite of ours! The shrimp are cooked perfectly and the candied walnuts are such a treat. This is ordered everytime!
I must say that all the fried rices whether it’s one ingredient or combinations are all delicious. They give you complimentary white rice upon request too.
We ordered Mochi ice cream which is dairy free so the ice cream is made from a coconut milk. We tried strawberry, mango and coconut but we were not fans. The waiter couldn’t tell us which was what flavor either. There was a yellow one that we assume was mango but tastes like lemon and left a lemon peel flavor in my mouth, yuck! Then it was hard to tell which was coconut since the flavor was odd and well, they just weren’t good! But at least we had our white chocolate dipped fortune cookies to enjoy at the end of the meal which are fantastic! We love coming here and trying new things every time!

Let me start by saying I’m not crazy about Chinese food, but I loved this place! The Sunday Brunch ($ 25 per person) is totally worth it. The all-​you-​can-​eat brunch includes your choice of mai tais or champagne (both taste great and strong; plenty of alcohol lol).
The quality of their meat is on point. Everything is fresh and they are constantly re-​filling the trays with more food. There is a very large variety of poultry from beef, pork, chicken, and all kinds of seafood.
Our server’s name was Karen, and she was great. Even after bringing over the wrong drinks, she quickly corrected her mistake and was apologetic. I really enjoyed the chicken spring rolls, chow mein, chicken lettuce wraps, and the beef the most!
I’ll definitely be back! ;)
