" I’ve been to countless Chinese restaurants, but Panda Cuisine offers something truly special with their carefully curated authentic menu. We tried their cumin duck liver for the first time, and it was nothing short of a revelation! Each bite was rich with flavors, unlike anything I had sampled before. The staff was friendly, although a bit rushed considering the peak hours. The overall experience was excellent despite this. I can’t wait to return and try more! " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to Panda Cuisine was on a whim, and it turned out to be an exciting culinary adventure! The flavors were bold and rich, particularly the fried dumplings. Each bite gave me a taste of what real Chinese cuisine is. This place is not for the faint-hearted if a typical sweet-and-sour is what you seek; however, if you are eager to explore flavors, then this is the spot! The atmosphere was bustling, fitting for such a lively place. Would certainly come back. " (*Curated Review*)

" I finally got to try Panda Cuisine after weeks of hearing friends rave about it. Their dumplings were perfectly crafted, with so much flavor in each bite. The serene atmosphere made for a relaxed dining experience. Service was swift, though at times I felt overlooked during peak hours. Overall, a very positive dining experience that I would recommend to those looking for genuine Chinese cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" I took my family to Panda Cuisine last Saturday and we really enjoyed our time there. The highlight was definitely their spicy mapo tofu! It had just the right amount of heat for our taste. While the atmosphere was cozy, we did encounter a minor wait for our table since it was a busy evening. Service could be improved, but the food was definitely worth it. Can't wait to bring my friends to try it soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful experience I had at Panda Cuisine! The ambiance was vibrant, and the food definitely lived up to the hype surrounding this establishment.

I will return with friends soon. " (*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*)
