" Panda Cuisine has become a new favorite for me and my friends. Their unique offerings on the menu caught my eye, particularly the spicy beef tendon. The dish was executed beautifully and full of flavor! The restaurant is lively, with a great buzz, adding to the charm of the place. However, I did think the service could be improved; it felt a bit slow when we were there. Nonetheless, it will not deter me from coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I decided to celebrate a special occasion at Panda Cuisine and we were not disappointed! The food was packed full of authentic flavors that reminded us of our travels in China. The highlight was the Peking Duck which was expertly cooked and had a crispy skin. The friendly environment and attentive service made our evening feel more special. However, the wait for a table was longer than expected, but I’d say it was worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Panda Cuisine lives up to its reputation as one of the best exotic Chinese restaurants around. Their menu has some of the most authentic dishes I have tasted outside of China. I ordered the spicy pepper crab, and it was hands down the best seafood dish I have had in a long time. It was fresh and perfectly seasoned. The only downside was that the servers seemed a bit overwhelmed, but their friendliness made up for it. I will definitely return to try more! " (*Curated Review*)

" The other evening, I dropped by Panda Cuisine unexpectedly. I felt adventurous and decided to try their hot pot—what a fantastic choice! The flavors were absolutely stunning, and there was plenty of variety in ingredients. The only complaint was perhaps how chaotic the restaurant felt with so many tables filled. However, the staff remained calm and friendly, which added to the pleasant experience overall. Would recommend to all my foodie friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" Panda Cuisine has finally won me over! I've had my fair share of Chinese restaurants, but the authenticity in their dishes truly stands apart. The cold sesame noodles were a refreshing start to my meal, followed by deliciously tender pork belly that melted in my mouth. It was rather busy when I went, and the wait times did feel longer, but the food quality made it worth every minute. I highly recommend it for anyone seeking real Chinese flavors. I will definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Was a bit hesitant to try Panda Cuisine after hearing mixed reviews. However, I was pleasantly surprised! The food was genuinely flavorful and reminded me of dining in other authentic Chinese restaurants across the country. I opted for a noodle soup that was aromatic and slightly spicy—simply divine. The employees were welcoming and eager to help with the menu, which made my visit pleasant. I will without a doubt be back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, I wasn't expecting much from Panda Cuisine given the mixed reviews I've heard. But I went for their lunch buffet, and I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised. The selection was diverse with plenty of traditional dishes to choose from. The staff was attentive, even during the busiest hours. It’s no exaggeration to say this is the best place for authentic Chinese food in Lexington. I already told a few friends to check it out! " (*Curated Review*)
