Still in the area thanks to Sandy, so I tried some Chinese food from the Panda Garden.Just in case you were wondering, if you are not a customer and attempt to use the bathroom at this place, you will be charged. How do I know this? Well, right on the front door is a sign clearly announcing this unique charge. Do I think local business owners should accommodate non-customers? Of course not. But is it necessary to have such a sign (although it did make me laugh) on your front door? I don't thinkso.I walked up to the counter and was greeted by an already agitated guy in a funny hat. I had one question about the menu and that was clearly one question too many. I ordered the sweet and sour chicken and the steamed dumplings. Service was fast but they couldn't get me out of the store fast enough. Thankfully I was taking my order to go.The sweet and sour chicken was OK, some may even say good but I don't think I will. It wasn't terrible but I have had better, much better. The pork fried rice was actually quite tasty. The steamed dumplings were another story. By the time I got home the dumplings had morphed into something that was visibly unappetizing. Closing my eyes I ate one and it was rubbery. I tried the dipping sauce and it had a little kick to it. I can't handle any spice so it may actually no kick whatsoever, I am just too sensitive. Overall everything was OK, but like the rating, I have experienced better.

My husband has raved about Panda Garden for years, stating that this place has the best Chinese food around. My favorite go to place was Amy's. After having a few not so good meals at Amy's I decided to give Panda Garden a shot. The first time we ordered the food was excellent. We then decided that it was going to be our new go to place for Chinese. The past couple of times we've ordered from them the food was not good. Anything with meat on it was about 85% fat. The ribs were horrible and the food was blah and really not good at all. We were very, very disappointed.The people that answer the phone and take order in the restaurant are also very rude. Which I wouldn't mind so much if the food was rave-worthy, but with mediocre to disgusting food, high prices and that type of attitude, Panda Garden will never get a dime from us again. You can get what they're offering at any one of the thousand Chinese food places around here - and I can think of several that are much more worthy of my raves, anyway!! With that type of competition, this place really should try harder.

I pass this place everyday going to work, so one day I thought I'd check it out. Went there for dinner and let me say, it was great. The people there are polite and the place is pretty big for a take out place. The restaurant seems to be nicely designed and has the feel of a more expensive place. If your looking for a tasty, yet inexpensive meal, this is the place to go! One of the few chinese restaurants that I know that accepts Credit Cards.?
