" I’ve tried various Chinese restaurants in the area, and sadly, Panda Garden didn’t live up to my expectations. The sweet and sour chicken seemed to be overly greasy and lacked flavor, which was a disappointment. My partner ordered the sesame chicken, which was better but nothing to rave about. The service was decent, and the staff was friendly, but that’s about where the positives end. Although it’s always crowded, it felt like the quality was just not there. I doubt I'll return soon, especially when there are other options with better flavors. " (*Curated Review*)

" I live locally and decided to give Panda Garden another shot; I had not been in a while. They continue to impress with their great service and the food was really fresh. The wontons were crispy, and the chicken chow mein tasted homemade. I also appreciate how they always take the time to make sure everything is clean and organized. It’s a great spot for takeout on busy nights! Keep up the good work, guys! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food we got was not very good, honestly. The fried rice was overly greasy, and the beef in the beef and broccoli was chewy. I hate to complain, but both my partner and I ended up feeling underwhelmed afterwards. I had hoped the quality was better based on all the positive feedback I read beforehand. Although the staff was polite and the place was clean, I would have to rethink my options next time I crave Chinese. " (*Curated Review*)

" This is a solid spot for quick Chinese takeout! The orange beef was delightful, not too saucy, and packed with flavor. They kept the waiting area clean, and the staff seems genuinely nice, always greeting customers with a smile. The only issue was the limited seating outside, but you have to understand it's primarily takeout. Prices are very reasonable which makes it easy to come back whenever you're in the mood for some quick and tasty Chinese fare. I’ll recommend this to anyone looking in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been coming to Panda Garden for years and never had a bad meal. The beef with broccoli is a classic, and they nail it every time! The portions are generous, which makes it even better. I do wish there was indoor seating; however, the quick service makes up for that. The staff always recognize me and treat me well, which creates a great community vibe. If you’re looking for reliable Chinese takeout, you can’t go wrong here. " (*Curated Review*)

" Panda Garden has been my go-to for Chinese takeout for many years. Their chicken and broccoli is my favorite—always fresh and not soggy! The sesame sauce is on point, and the portions are generous, making it excellent value for money. I do wish they had more indoor seating, but the convenience of the takeout works better for me. I've never had a bad experience with the staff, always being polite and accommodating, even during peak hours. If you're nearby and looking for good Chinese food, this is definitely the place to check out! " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall, my experience was just okay. The fried rice was bland, and the kung pao chicken was on the dry side. However, I did appreciate the cleanliness of the place and how friendly everyone was. The quick service was also commendable, but I'm not sure if I’ll be back unless I hear better things about the quality. " (*Curated Review*)
