Panda Wok

Sesame chicken combo platter is my favorite. The chicken is crispy, and the pork fried rice is fresh and tasty. One combo platter is enough for two meals, so it’s a great value. The food is always freshly prepared and piping hot. Ideal for pick up or delivery, but not a great place to dine in (few seating options and not the handsomest interior).

This our family’s go to Chinese joint. Moderate to high quality, very consistent, fairly priced and fast delivery.

Surprisingly good food with really fast local delivery. The dishes are usually very meaty with token vegetables, which is hard to complain about, although the ratio varies each time we order. We don’t mind much and actually look forward to being moderately surprised. Sometimes a little more veggies would balance things out, such as more broccoli in the beef & broccoli, but I’m sure others might then complain they were paying for the meat but getting filler.
The spicy dishes are pretty spicy, so take that seriously. Many dishes are pretty flavorful, such as the beef & broccoli and the red curry chicken, but some others tend to be more bland. The General Tso’s varies a little in that regard but is generally (ha!) tasty. The sweet & sour chicken is surprisingly light and very well done, heavily battered but lightly fried, but doesn’t have much of its own flavor and there were no pineapple or veggies to give it some pop. The sweet and sour sauce is orange but doesn’t taste like much at all and is neither sweet nor sour, just orange and saucy. Most dishes are made with good quality ingredients — we’ve never had chewy, stringy, or gristly beef or chicken like the meats some places serve. The rice has always been top-​notch – the sticky kind you hope to get, never dried out or undercooked.
The crab Rangoon is spectacular, as others have commented, just be advised that it doesn’t always travel well and can arrive kind of soggy, so let your distance from the restaurant and traffic conditions be your guide. As with the sweet & sour chicken, the dipping sauce doesn’t have any flavor. Some dumpling sauce or your favorite store-​bought S&S sauce augments it nicely. We order from Panda Wok about once a month and have never had that over-​salted feeling you have after many meals, also suggesting they rely on quality ingredients instead of lots of salt or other things to make it just memorable.
Drivers have always been fast and friendly, often arriving well before expected even in terrible weather. There’s enough to try on the menu to keep us ordering again and again, trying new things while still circling back to our favorites.

Oh my this place sucked! First time eating here and my moo shoo pork tasted like gasoline and my wonton soup like dish water. Gross never returning

This is our go-​to Chinese delivery. It is exactly what you would expect when ordering Chinese– and not the authentic kind you might find in Rockville– just the regular old American delivery Chinese. We have had lots of dishes– General Tsos, Hunan Chicken, fried rice, lo mein, hot and sour soup, spring rolls, beef and broccoli, etc. All have been reliably good. The service is sometimes very quick but at high-​traffic times can be a bit slow. Overall, we like this as a Chinese delivery option but would go elsewhere for authentic Chinese.

Me and my family ordered from here to Holy Cross hospital on New Years Eve. Outside of the food taking about an hour to get to us, everything else was great! We did order about 15 — 20 minutes before they closed and they may have had something to do with the long wait. The quality of the food was really good though. I ordered singapore rice noodles. Wasn’t the BEST I have ever had but still really good. I’d go again if I happened to be in the area.

For Chinese take out food I have no complaints. I’ve only had the General tso’s chicken, fried dumplings and spring rolls and they were all pretty good. I literally live a block away from panda wok so I had to give it a try sooner or later.
From the ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ Unilocal reviews I’ve seen I was kind of skeptical but, for quick cheap Chinese food it wasn’t bad. If you’re craving take out and live around Wheaton, try it out :)

Love the Singapore noodles! Some of the best I’ve had. We always place large orders from Panda Wok at my job and everything has been great, and fast delivery!

Not sure whats going on… I’ve never had a problem with this place before and their food is good but today my daughter and I got really sick from the food. Not good. We ordered the seasame chicken so beware.

Hungry after a night of drinking. Panda Wok was still open, so we took the extra train stop to get to it. Hidden on a side street near the corner of Georgia and University… you have to look for it! Though we were not impressed with our first DMC Chinese experience at another place at all, Panda Wok made up for it. Great food. We followed up with delivery a week or so later and again, great grub. Good to know we have reliable Chinese food in the neighborhood that doesn’t taste like styrofoam (are you listening, Brothers?)

L.p.This Restaurant has the most tastiest Singapore noodles. Its very delicious. Its cook perfect.
When you call to place an order the woman that answers the phone is very pleasant. She speaks very good English. She’s very helpful. Ive had a few other dishes there are all very delicious.
My only regret is that they dont deliver.
I would recommend this restaurant very highly. I hope some day they would consider delivering I think it would be very good for business.
I stand corrected. They do deliver. Just not where I live. My apologies.
Excellent Food.

We order from here all the time. They are super fast. Portions make for a couple of meals. I always get the red curry chicken, which I love. High quality chicken is used, not the kind w/​gristle-​y bits. One time I got kung pao which was kind of lame because it was half celery. The red curry has never disappointed, however.

My go to Chinese place. I have never eaten inside. I always order delivery. I think what sets this place apart from others is when you order general tsao chicken you can choose of you’d like white or dark meat.
I prefer dark. There’s something flavorful and juicy about the fat. it’s where it’s at kids.

It’s a solid 2.5 stars. This is the first time I tried Panda Wok, as I didn’t feel like picking up from my usual place (no delivery — boo!) and the other delivery place had a disconnected phone (I wonder if it’s still open). But anyhow…
I ordered mu shu, crab Rangoon, Szechwan beef, and steamed veggie dumplings. I also had a coupon for a free chicken lo mein.
The crab Rangoon were fried very nicely, with a crisp golden outside. The cream cheese filling was kind of bland, and the sweet and sour sauce it comes with was kind of gloopy. The mu shu was plentiful but not terribly flavorful. It wasn’t bad, just way better once I added hoisin sauce. I didn’t try the other two dishes (my roommate) but they looked good, with some fresh-​looking veggies. I tried a quick forkful of the chicken lo mein, which again was not terribly flavorful but not bad.
I might order from there again if I’m feeling exceptionally lazy, but between the lack of super tastiness and the fact that I was overcharged by about five bucks (not gonna fight over that), I don’t think it’s going to be a regular go-​to.

Delightful food, tried for the first time and love it! Big jumbo shrimps, rice excellent and the triple delight awesome, I’m not a fan of Chinese food but it was great, fast delivery

24 hours after using my credit card there, I had 5 fraudulent charges on my account

Perfectly … adequate.
If I could, I’d give it 2 and a half stars.
We’ve been trying the various Wheaton and Silver Spring delivery Chinese-​American places ever since we moved here a year ago. This was our latest try, and it was unremarkable, but decent. We’ll keep trying to find better, but I’d probably be willing to order from Panda Wok again.
Online ordering was fast, easy, and allowed for significant customization, and delivery was reasonably fast … about 35 or 40 minutes. Most dishes are offered in a small or large portion, which is a plus. Portion sizes were quite large, and prices are quite reasonable.
Food quality, overall, was passable. The egg rolls were large and crispy and not excessively greasy, if a little bland — though they only gave us one packet of mustard, which was irritating. Won ton soup was oddly flavored and the won tons were a bit doughy and chewy, but not the worst I’ve had. The hot and sour soup was sadly neither hot nor sour, but wasn’t dreadful. Chicken with Chinese vegetables was bland but inoffensive. The sesame chicken had a nicely crisp coating, but the sauce was a little on the gooey side and lacked the tart bite that really good sesame chicken can have.
Nothing was great, nothing was awful. If I order from them again, I’d likely try different things in hopes of finding things they do a little better with.

I don’t usually write reviews because I feel like most of the reviews are similar to my experience. However on this occasion I feel compelled to write a review because of the horrible experience I have had.
I ordered delivery. 2 soups, Szechuan chicken, crab Rangoon. And I live like 3 – 4 mins from this place. It took 1hr and 30mins for the food to be delivered. I called after 1 hour, she said a couple more minutes. «They were very busy». I thought that maybe the food would be worth it but no such luck. The sweet and sour soup and the chicken corn soup lacked salt and flavor. The crab Rangoon was cold because of the length of time it took for my food to get here. The Szechuan chicken was more like Szechuan vegetables with few pieces of chicken for garnish.
First and last time ordering from this place. Definitely not worth it guys!!!

We were looking for a change from our usual Chinese delivery place and, based on Unilocal reviews, we tried Panda Wok. We were delighted that we did!
Let’s get the negative out of the way first … while most people have commented on the super-​speedy delivery, I have to say that I found it to be on the slower side. We placed our order online at 5:30 on a Saturday evening and then called at 6:15 when our food had not yet been delivered. They were short on drivers, apparently. We had our food within an hour and when it arrived, it was still quite hot. The slower delivery was made up for in spades by the deliciousness of the food though!!!
We ordered Spring Rolls, Shrimp with Broccoli, and the General Tso’s Combo platter. While the Shrimp with Broccoli was VERY short on Shrimp (we got the small for $ 6.25 and the order only had 8 shrimp in it), the shrimp were on the bigger side and were actually deveined! The broccoli tasted like it was fresh, not frozen, and the brown sauce was delicious. The Spring Rolls were also good, with more of a crispy and flaky outside than I usually receive around these parts. And the General Tso’s was actually CRISPY. I’ve never, ever had crispy General Tso’s before. It was awesome. The Pork Fried Rice that came with the General Tso’s was really good too, with plenty of pork in it. The portions are very generous (we have tons of leftovers) and I can’t believe how cheap this place is.
This food actually tastes like someone makes it, not like it’s frozen and heated up prior to delivery. I’m amazed and super excited. Coupled with the ease of their online ordering system — you can select your level of spicy-​ness for EVERYTHING you order, and you can also add comments for each part of your order — you just can’t get better than this. Panda Wok is going to be our new go-​to for Chinese Delivery.

I just needed something quick and cheap today, so based on Unilocal reviews, I decided to give this local takeout joint a try.
Quick it was not. That was not because of incompetence but rather, popularity. There were quite a few takeout orders (mostly phoned in) stacked up ahead of mine so I just had to sit there and wait. But popularity is always a good sign and a confidence-​builder, so I began to suspect ordering from here might not have been a bad idea.
The place is tiny and mainly for takeout. Not too cool inside today (late August). And I will bet it is freezing in the winter. I can’t imagine the circumstances under which I would actually grab a stool at their little counter by the window and consume there, but I suppose one never knows.
I like to keep it simple on the first date, so I stayed with a vegetarian option. I went with the Hunan Tofu, which was a plentiful portion. Ingredients were very fresh and it was tasty, if not mind-​blowing.
Next time I will get a little more adventurous. I have my eye on the basil rice with shrimp and chicken. I think I trust them enough to order shrimp there. I think…
Aside from a bounteous and cheap Chinese menu, they also offer wings, sweet potato fries and even fried plantains. Normally I am not a fan of «please the world» menus but I guess it works for them here.
I really like that you can see the kitchen from the counter where you order the food.
The only negative (and it isn’t much of one) is that they sneaked some zucchini into my stir fry. Fo’ real? Since when is zucchini a Chinese vegetable? Icky baby corn I can handle and expect. (They did not disappoint and I picked out every last piece.) But zucchini? What an affront. They won’t catch me out again! :)
