" I decided to go to Panda House for lunch with my family. The kids loved the chicken nuggets, but I was unimpressed with my sweet and sour chicken. It was too sweet and lacked the tanginess I was expecting. However, I will say that the portions are hearty and we all left with full bellies. The decor is minimalistic, but I don’t expect much from a takeout place. I might give it another try, hoping for a better experience next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Panda House has always been a reliable option for me when I’m craving Chinese food. I love that they offer a wide variety of vegetarian options. The kung pao tofu is particularly tasty, and the portions are quite substantial. Service is typically fine, nothing stellar, but I appreciate the speed with which they prepare the food. The atmosphere could use a little life, though. Despite its shortcomings, I always walk away happy with my meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" I frequently stop by Panda House for lunch, and while it may not be the best Chinese food, it's definitely far from the worst! Their lunch special is a steal and comes with a good amount of food, perfect for the college crowd. The staff could use a little friendliness training, but I’m not there to make friends. The food is decent, especially the sweet and sour chicken! Just be prepared for it to be a little greasy at times. I always leave satisfied, though nothing particularly stands out about the dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" I must say, I was misguided about Panda House after hearing mixed reviews. I completely enjoyed my meal! The beef with broccoli was well-seasoned and fresh. No greasiness or sloppiness here! The staff were attentive, ensuring my dining experience was pleasant. I sat in the dining area, and while it could use some refurbishing, it felt welcoming enough. I came in hungry, and I left satisfied—100% would recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Panda House is alright for a quick meal, but don’t go in expecting too much. The food is decent, but I guess they play it safe—nothing too bold in flavor. I’d say it’s suitable for folks who want a filling meal on the go. Their orange chicken isn’t bad, but it could use a bit more punch. Service was fine, but nothing memorable. If you’re in the area and need to grab something, it won't disappoint. Just don’t set your expectations too high. " (*Curated Review*)

" Panda House has been around for a long time, and you can tell it's one of those places people keep returning to! I've always enjoyed their dishes, notably the crab rangoon, which I think is the best in town! The only downside is the service—the staff could definitely work on being more welcoming. It's not the fanciest of places but feels warm enough for comfort food. It's a reliable spot for those late-night cravings. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I visited Panda House last week, and we experienced quite a mixed bag. The food was fairly decent; the sweet and sour pork was enjoyable, though the fried rice left some room for improvement. Big portions help, but we felt that the service was lacking. The atmosphere was a bit too casual and not very inviting. If you're simply looking for filling takeout, it suffices, but it wasn't a memorable experience overall. " (*Curated Review*)
