Chinese Cuisine
The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.
Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.
There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.

Service is fine. quality of food has fallen significantly
(1)Jasmine C.
Went for dinner with a friend. Vegetable Deluxe was good but not great. Service was good until we finished our dinner. When we continued to talk for about an hour we stopped getting drink refills and were ignored. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here but if I was hungry and in the area I wouldn't avoid it.
(3)Luciano S.
Delicious food, great service, and awesome food specials..I will definitely come back for more
(5)Melissa A.
Really appreciate the pleasant owner and how he keeps the vibe non-fast food/Panda Express. The food is good. Good prices. (Located in Zipps/McDonald's shopping center)
(4)Tricia G.
This is a great family owned Chinese restaurant. The sesame chicken is excellent (if ordered extra crispy). The spring roll is an excellent addition to any meal and they are spot on with the lo mein. They are fast with delivery and carry out; and thief customer service is a bonus!
(4)Rachel V.
I ordered orange chicken and my friend ordered general tso's chicken. We could not tell which was which because they essentially looked and smelled the same. Both dishes tasted fried and lacked any real flavors. Even the rice tasted overly wet and tasteless. We also ordered pot stickers which were disgusting, soggy and gross to attempt at ingesting. The meal was over priced for the quality of the ingredients and I will not eat here again.
(2)Brenda S.
My favorite Chinese place! Great for super fast delivery & everything on the menu is delicious! You can order no vegetables if they aren't your thing, and the owner is so sweet it's a pleasure eating inside. The volcano is a fun drink, but they also have an open bar. :)
(5)Alex M.
I've eaten here twice once for dinner and once for lunch. I like them because not only do they have good food but it's fairly inexpensive. I was able to get a lunch special which included a drink and soup plus an entre for $5.95 which is an AWESOME deal! I will definitely eat here again.
(5)Preston S.
Wow! Yeah I said wow. This was some really good Chinese food. It is payday and my coworkers wanted to go out to lunch. One of them was craving Chinese food. So Yelp to the rescue. We found this place and my coworker realized she used to go here all the time and said it was good. So off we went. It is close to work so that is good. The prices weren't bad so that is good. Decor was nice a little dark inside but still good. The tables had tablecloths with Chinese Zodiac place mats on them with a sheet of glass or plexiglass covering all of it. Everyone was checking their signs and their families signs and joking around about it. A nice distraction while waiting for our order. Service was great. They had no problem doing multiple checks and the food came out pretty quick. So did the drinks. The wait staff, which I think were the owners, were very attentive. Drinks always refilled and asking us if we worked in the area and where we worked. Also asked us if we had been there before. When we said no they brought us over take out menus. Now to the food. It was so good. Best Chinese food I have had in awhile. I ordered the Moo Goo Gai Pan. The white sauce that was on it was amazing. The chicken and veggies were perfect and the fried rice was really good. Everybody raved about their different meals. Not one complaint. They got us in and out with plenty of time to get back to work. That was even with 5 people in our group. I will definitely be back to try everything else on the menu. So far away from that other Panda it isn't even worth mentioning. Even cheaper then them too. Great find. High five coworker.
(5)Leonor C.
Food is pretty good here! They haven't let me down yet! Love the fact that it's family owned!!
(4)Art M.
Panda Garden - NOT GOOD!.... I have been here several times for lunch, and even dinner. The portions are very small, even the rice is a very small scoop. The main dish, whether it's for lunch or dinner is way too salty, and the food tastes old, the broccoli, was soaked and limp, not fresh and crunchy, so were the other veggies, the meats and seafood tasted limp and old also... The egg rolls are like something out of munchkin land...SMALL! very few veggies, and squishy....yew. Panda Garden: Too Expensive, Poor Value! = Not Going Back! Tip: Hot Wok Mr. Cook on Warner Rd. They have the best Chinese in this area and are made to order fresh loaded with veggies and the portions are very generous, and all together cheaper...
(2)A.J. C.
Food is very good. Lots of choices on the menu. Staff is very friendly. Definitely will be going back often.
(4)Robbie R.
I'm not from around here but I'm glad I stopped in here with my family for Chinese food. I was kinda worried with all the buffets and take outs in the area as I wanted something good. I was not disappointed. Really good hot and sour soup and 4 entrees could easily feed 5 to 6 people. The tea was good as well. The waiters and waitresses were really nice and the resteraunt was clean and comfortable. When I'm back in the area I will be sure to visit again.
(5)Derek M.
Lo mein has a very weird taste. Not sure why but pretty sure I dont want to know. Crispy chicken is not crispy. Breading is excessive and leads to a rubbery consistency. Not coming back. Sorry, but third time was not a charm.
(1)Mike A.
Some coworkers were going to Panda Garden and I asked them to bring me back lunch. I love trying new places. On a Friday when they went, their lunch special was Empress Chicken where you get rice, Empress chicken, what they call an egg roll and a crab rangoon. The only thing I liked about this dish was the rice. I ended up throwing my lunch way. The chicken were nice sized chunks and they were cooked good but the sauce was just down right awful. It was too sweet and has a horrible aftertaste. What they call an egg roll should really be called a spring roll and I don't know if I would call it that? Like the crab rangoon, there is no filling to it. Honestly, those should be left off the plate. I may try another item from here like orange beef which is my favorite but I won't be rushing back any time soon.
(1)Tim R.
Wow... I had to double check the address after reading negative reviews. The food & service here is consistantly AWESOME! I didn't want to tell anybody... because I won't enjoy waiting in the future lines.
(4)Brett H.
Great family owned place. Cheap lunch and the food is great. Good service. What more can you ask for.
(5)Mike Z.
The BBQ Pork Slices appetizer . . . check the picture . . . bump the PG up to a solid 4. It's brilliant. The best part of BBQ pork fried rice is the BBQ pork . . . so why not 86 the rice and go straight BBQ pork!?! I can't recommend it enough
(4)Mummy D.
Bad panda! Bad! Hot & Sour soup was actually so sweet. Gang Pang chicken was too dry needed sauce. Teriyaki bowl was sad white chicken swimming in a watered down sweet sauce with limp iceberg lettuce, shredded purple cabbage & carrots (think iceberg bag mix). Never again.
(2)Christy A.
This is my first ever, negative yelp review and I'll keep it short and not sweet. I experienced horrible customer service when I went to get lunch with a friend. I've never had such an unwelcoming experience from any food service establishment. And their food was meh. I've definitely had better Chinese food in the valley, such as Little Shanghai, Mekong Plaza, and Szechwan Palace@COFCO. Heck, even P.F. Chang's is better, and that's not really Chinese... OK, I'm done. :)
(1)Raymond L.
A surprising gem in Ahwutukee. Not sure about the 2 and 3 star reviews but when I've gone there the vegetables were fresh, portion size for dinner were good. Yes the lunch portions are smaller but it's also cheaper. We order take-out many times.
(4)Amanda b.
The food is always fresh. So far I have had the chicken fried rice, crispy chicken in a honey sauce and moo goo gai pan, and will continue to return to try more dishes! it is never greasy and always comes out hot. the staff is friendly too!
(5)Mark P.
Been fans for years and order take out on a regular basis. Is this place under new ownership or management? Both orders were not prepared correctly and had very wilty broccoli. Even the spring rolls were different, not sure what the change is but don't like it.
(1)Leanne R.
I love this restaurant! And they deliver! They are quick, authentic, and tasty. When I need my "real" chinese fix they are my go-to! Their portions are huge... And did I mention they have green tea ice cream?
(5)Karlee O.
I have been looking for a good Chinese restaurant in the area and I finally found one! Panda garden had great food and great customer service. I will be coming back here for sure!
(5)John A.
This place is pretty close to the house and I was hoping to find my go-to-Chinese place. Everyone has to have a go-to-Chinese place for those Tuesday nights when you don't feel like cooking and you just want to pick up your food because you don't feel like putting on anything fancier than sweatpants. It looks like I didn't find my go-to Chinese place. . . Meal: I have only been here once; I went with the chicken fried rice. Taste: Pretty decent taste. It was actually some of the best fried rice I have had in the valley. 8 out of 10. Value: Portion sizes were decent and seemed to be consistent with the price. The value isn't going to blow away, but its about spot on. 3 out of 5. Service/Cleanliness: Service here is incredibly slow. Really . . . . slooooooooowwwwwwww. I even noticed a couple of customers were really pissed about how slow the service was. There were at least 3 or 4 waiters when I was there, but there was maybe 7 tables filled with people. 5 out of 10. Atmosphere: Typical "mom and pop" Chinese restaurant decor. They have TV's running and it would be nice if they turned them off as they were annoying and distracting. 2 out of 5. Overall: There better Thai and Chinese places within a ten minute drive. I would suggest spending the extra minutes of driving to get something that is special. 18 out of 30 points, 2 out of 5 stars.
(2)Jimmy D.
Still great food, I have tried many of the menu items. My favorite is the "Triple Delicacy"; it is basically the Mongolian Beef with chicken and shrimp included. I have them add broccoli and carrots to mine. Delicious!
(5)Cindy N.
Haven't been here in awhile being we do live in Tucson. We get up to this area when visiting our son. So when not hitting the gamut of Mexican restaurants we went to our favorite Chinese restaurant in the Phoenix area. You can't beat the lunch specials. Three of ate for $22 bucks. Best thing is lunch is served daily until 4 PM. It's a very welcoming place. The owners are so nice and friendly. The place is so clean. It might be the white tablecloths that adorn the tables. The menu is typically Cantonese with the usual dishes. Everything is very tasty. We shared the lo mein, mongolian beef and empress chicken. The serving sizes are humungous. So needless the say we had no dinner later.
(4)Jody P.
Nice little restaurant. Really good quality chicken. Lots of options for entrees. Will be back again soon.
(4)Violeta H.
I thought panda garden was A-ok. I had the orange chicken and I know that's a boring entree to order but I wanted to compare it to other places I had been to. Anyways the food was a bit a greasy for my taste but perhaps I will give it another try.
(3)Jada L.
I go here often for lunch and I am never dissappointed. The service is super fast and very friendly. The food is fresh and delicious. I really love the double pleasure, it is shrimp and scallops in a spicy/sweet sauce. Only one thing keeps this place from 5 stars, I would much rather have a cup of soup than the salad. The salad is rather bland and not very good. The prices are great and have daily specials.
(4)Melissa H.
We come here for lunch and it's always great. Nice folks and very attentive, big portions and food is good.
(4)Kyle O.
Great, fast service, and good food makes this the go to chinese when in the area
(4)Joseph P.
I have been eating here for years and have never had a bad meal... Super friendly staff and you can tell its family owned everyone is always happy to see you come in to dine. I always order the same thing the Gang Pang Chicken (Szechwan hot! Battered chicken with spicy hot peppers and green peppers) Lunch combo comes with an egg roll, fried rice and a crab puff... I really enjoy this meal each time I have it and trust me I have had it a lot I highly recommend it.
(5)Stacy C.
To start, I'll let the facts speak for themselves. $1.99 bottles of Heineken $1.49 bottles of Bud Light ALL DAY, EVERY DAY! Craziness! Panda may not have a happy hour, but with prices like that it seems like it would be happy all the time! As if that wasn't enough reason to get you there, the food is pretty good. At first I thought maybe they just got all their customers drunk so the food didn't matter . . . luckily, this is not the case. Panda does not use MSG and has brown rice as an option. Include the fact this place is within walking distance from my house and I am even convincing myself more and more that I need to go there more often, not just all of you. The few times I have been, there have only been a few other people in the restaurant so the wait staff is ready and waiting to fulfill your every request. The few times we sat at the bar, the bartender has been very friendly, yet knew when to give us our space as well. Seeing as how there are a total of six seats at the bar, that is a good skill to have. The restaurant is a little small and there isn't much to say about the (lack of) atmosphere. All of that is the reason I am a little leery to give four stars, but right now they are at 3.5 ish. Advertisement boasts "We serve Dim Sum! Made to Order." I haven't tried it, but now that I know it is an option, I'll have to add that to the to-do list for my next visit.
(3)Capri L.
Our family stopped in for lunch one day having medium expectations. We will not go back. The orange chicken came out cold for my daughter. Not sure if they just figured "oh its just a kid" or what. The crispy shrimp I ordered was boasting of being lightly battered in a sweet honey sauce with vegetables. It was everything but that. The fried batter was just about all there was. It took some effort to find the shrimp inside. I am still in search of a great Chinese restaurant in Ahwatukee...
(1)Brian M.
For casual and takeout Chinese food, I like Panda Garden for lunch or dinner. The prices are great, the food is well above average, and the service is lightning quick. My kids like the soups a lot, and the sesame chicken. Not the best ambiance (local TV in the background), but you can't have everything.
(3)Brittany C.
I eat here so much I'm actually embaressed! This place is amazing, I never liked any form of asian food before I ate here, I always order the same thing..sesame chicken with white rice and crab puffs. I like how tiny the restaurant is and the fact that it is family owned. The owners are so sweet, there is never a wait either. They have really good lunch specials and the food is always fresh.
(5)M. M. G.
They did a great job putting together individual lunches for a big holiday family bash we had--14 different selections. Well labeled, tasty food as if we had been in the restaurant. We love this for their lunch specials, the Empress Chicken is our favorite thing. Check out their specials for Chinese New Year. We had some outstanding food there last year, many courses and it was very reasonable. The looong string beans were a real standout. The family is always so friendly and they always remember us, it's just a nice local family-owned and run restaurant, we and love supporting them.
(5)J. T.
Panda Garden is now my go-to place for Chinese food. I was introduced to it a few years ago after my previous favorite (and their competitor) suddenly went downhill. Each dish I've ordered, usually consisting of chicken, shrimp or beef, has tasted fresh and wonderfully cooked while the sauces are consistently zesty. The family running the place is always friendly yet they know we're not likely to linger after I've finished my Schezuan chicken and Thai tea.
(4)Rob H.
I absolutely love Panda Garden. This is my favorite Chinese-Inspired restaurant in the valley, the pricy sit-down, dress-up places in Scottsdale and Downtown phoenix notwithstanding. Every dish I've tried has been delicious, and the service is very fast (normally under 5 minutes for a table of two) and extremely friendly. If you find yourself fiending for a Chinese fix, and are in the Ahwatukee area, you must stop by Panda Garden!
(5)Jeffrey B.
Very fast delivery and friendly service. Food is definitely above average. Not sure who would give this place a bad review...maybe people who thought they were getting Panda Express. Best Chinese in the area that I have found.
(4)Michael S.
Panda Garden is a family run Chinese Food Restaurant that is always friendly, and most importantly, delicious. You can order dishes family style and there's plenty of delicious meals to try. My personal favorite is the Empress Chicken, sweeter then Orange Chicken, but the flavor just melts in your mouth. I just had the Kung Pao Two which is Chicken and Shrimp, and its even better the next day as leftovers thanks to the generous portions. They have a good selection of sake and beer as well. This is my favorite Chinese restaurant and hope everyone else checks it out.
(5)Lisa L.
best place for lunch in that part of town. They have great food and prices. The service is great too. They have my favorite garlic chicken
(4)Trina S.
I got take-out for dinner tonight. It's definitely tasty, and on par with most. Also, their spring rolls are huge!
(3)Misty G.
Fast....scrumptious...and great price!! I ordered from here by just picking by name lol...glad I did....from phone convo to delivery it was fast and easy....very poliet staff...i will be ordering again!!
(5)Christine K.
I love this place, service and food is excellent. The lady that works there is exceptionally nice, reminds me of my mom haha! Good times.
(5)Samuel C.
This is such a great place to go and get great food!! Such a great value for the price and they are always quick with the service. Love coming here all the time for my Chinese food cravings.
(5)Bruce B.
Very good Asian food. The ingredients are very fresh and flavorful. I loved the Shrimp in Lobster Sauce (hard to find anymore) and the Moo Shoo Pork as well as the Hot and Sour Soup. I try to go there once a week. Love the Shrimp Fried Rice as well.
(5)JamesandVictoria G.
Food and service was good, nothing special. If you like Chinese food, I do recommend that you try once.
(3)Ashley C.
Great food for unbelievably low prices; wonderful service, what else can you ask for? Love this place!
(5)Anna E.
Consistently had a great experience and great food here. We get takeout and it's always ready quickly. Our typical order includes Kung Pao chicken and Kung Pao vegetable, both of which have been excellent with fresh vegetables.
(4)Maggie H.
great place! the food is always good and the staff are so friendly and welcoming. They have great, refreshing iced tea. It's just your basic tea, but it's always good. Pretty much any dish you order will be good. A lot of their dishes are loaded with bits of garlic. They have great lunch specials and their prices are very reasonable.
(4)Michael T.
Had the Monday special and Bbq slices. The best Chinese food I've had in PHOENIX. I would recommend to everyone. Quite atmosphere and the food was ready really fast shortly after ordering.
(5)Kurry M.
Just great all around great real Chinese food great people great hospitality this is business done right having moved here in August with my girlfriend and getting ready to move again tomorrow and just finishing my last meal from here a message to the owners bravo thank you so much for everything these past 8 months you guys are awesome and I wish they had a place like this back on the east coast. Never been disappointed with anything from here and never had a bad experiences never had a problem with any modifications delivery included just all around amazing thanks panda garden -Kurry and Shelby (sweet and sour chicken no sweet and sour sauce sub garlic brown sauce)
(5)Josh K.
This place is great little place that my wife took me and she fell in love with there house special gang pang chicken and so now I am in love with it too! Reasonable prices and great service!
(5)Katrina B.
Very tasty, fresh, authentic Chinese food. We ordered dine in. The service was spectacular. The food came to our table in superb timing. We ordered orange chicken, shrimp fried rice, shrimp egg roll, and shrimp egg foo young. We enjoyed all of the herbs and vegetables added. The dinner portions were smaller than expected for the cost in comparison to where I live in Chicago. However, the restaurant had a cozy, family vibe to it. My husband and I decided to stop here with our children after having a taste for some down home Chinese food while visiting family in Phoenix.
(4)Derniique H.
For the price- def not worth it!! These dishes lack flavor. Pretty much over priced Panda Express - but Panda Express tastes better :/ we ordered pot stickers - blah...pork lo mein - eh....island beef - no....and chicken and broccoli was average.
(1)Christie L.
We drive over 20 minutes to just grab take out... Haven't found a better Chinese restaurant in phoenix! Definitely great food and service!
(5)Ashley Y.
It's hard to find a real authentic chinese restaurant, let alone one that delivers. This place is great!! Reminds me of my grandpa's cooking. The prices are fair, for the amount of food that they give you. My order took 45 minutes to get made and delivered but I'm not complaining! This is my new favorite place for chinese food.
(5)Max S.
Great, consistently good food. Cant get enough of the hot and sour soup- BEST anywhere. We eat there 1-3x a week. Great prices, good quality and quantity of food. Fans of their food, Lynn and Teresa
(5)Monica O.
Went to lunch with coworkers on a Thursday, it was a last lunch outing for one of our coworkers who is leaving the company and one of my coworkers suggested we get Chinese food, now still being new to our area we didn't know where to go, so whipped out the Yelp App and searched for Chinese food near here and found Panda Garden, so the place was set and off we went. We were a party of 5 and we didn't have to wait got seated pretty quickly for being high noon, sat at our tables and looked the menu, I was impressed with the selection they have for their daily lunch specials, and if those didn't interest you, they have a great looking lunch menu too. And the daily lunch specials even run on sat too, thought that was a nice touch as well. I wish I caught our servers name, I believe she might have been the hostess as well, she was very friendly and very nice, we all told her it was our 1st time there she asked us were we work and just had conversations with us, felt like a nice family place. I ordered the Gang Pang Chicken lunch combo with Lo Mein Noodles, I wanted to try something I never had before & something that was spicy, and this dish looked like the winner for me. The chicken was lighted battered and covered in this great tasting sauce and it had sliced green onions & fresh jalapenos, and with the lo mien noodles, that dish was delish!! I just need to remember to ask for more heat next time, but that's because I love things spicy hot! Happy to found Panda Garden and looking forward to adding them to my fast lunch time eats!
(4)Jennifer F.
Had delivery tonight and it came as they expected it to be, the man was very courteous and the food was hot. But it was a little bit greasy and I felt like they were overpriced probably won't use them again but thanks for my Chinese fix
(4)Kara D.
I ordered from here when I first moved to Phoenix and the food was delicious!! I got the house lo mein and their pot stickers. The delivery wait time wasn't long at all. I will definitely be ordering from them again!
(5)Chris B.
Everything we ordered was just...bad. The General Tso's chicken was overly breaded, mushy and barely seasoned. Mongolian Beef lacked flavor and was a bit of a mess. Fried rice was too oily and lacked flavor. Brown rice was over cooked.
(2)Kristin H.
Great Chinese takeout! Finally found our new delivery place near our new home! Best fried rice around. Perfect crab Rangoon. Potstickers are delicious. The hubs likes their Kung Pao chicken. We've ordered from here four times. It's consistent!!! Seriously so thrilled to have discovered this place after many let downs from other nearby Chinese restaurants.
(5)Jacob M.
My girlfriend and I use yelp to find new places to eat and Panda Garden blew us away. Great food and service. She had the orange chicken which we both loved and I had the Mongolian beef w/ lo mein. Which was also perfect. Highly recommended.
(4)Kelsi S.
I ordered the Orange Chicken and it was the best I've ever had! I also ordered the cream cheese puffs and they were good as well. I will definitely be ordering again. I would give it 5 stars but took an hour and fifteen minutes for the food to arrive. But the driver was friendly and courteous.
(4)Dimitri L.
Best Lo Mein anywhere in this town! Their dishes always taste fresh and are superbly balanced. We paid them many visits and were never disappointed. They deliver as well.
(5)Raymond L.
A surprising gem in Ahwutukee. Not sure about the 2 and 3 star reviews but when I've gone there the vegetables were fresh, portion size for dinner were good. Yes the lunch portions are smaller but it's also cheaper. We order take-out many times.

The food is always fresh. So far I have had the chicken fried rice, crispy chicken in a honey sauce and moo goo gai pan, and will continue to return to try more dishes! it is never greasy and always comes out hot. the staff is friendly too!

Went for dinner with a friend. Vegetable Deluxe was good but not great. Service was good until we finished our dinner.

(4)Tricia G.
This is a great family owned Chinese restaurant. The sesame chicken is excellent (if ordered extra crispy). The spring roll is an excellent addition to any meal and they are spot on with the lo mein. They are fast with delivery and carry out; and thief customer service is a bonus!
(4)Rachel V.
I ordered orange chicken and my friend ordered general tso's chicken. We could not tell which was which because they essentially looked and smelled the same. Both dishes tasted fried and lacked any real flavors. Even the rice tasted overly wet and tasteless. We also ordered pot stickers which were disgusting, soggy and gross to attempt at ingesting. The meal was over priced for the quality of the ingredients and I will not eat here again.

My favorite Chinese place! Great for super fast delivery & everything on the menu is delicious! You can order no vegetables if they aren't your thing, and the owner is so sweet it's a pleasure eating inside. The volcano is a fun drink, but they also have an open bar. :)
(5)Alex M.
I've eaten here twice once for dinner and once for lunch. I like them because not only do they have good food but it's fairly inexpensive. I was able to get a lunch special which included a drink and soup plus an entre for $5.95 which is an AWESOME deal! I will definitely eat here again.
(5)Luciano S.
Delicious food, great service, and awesome food specials..I will definitely come back for more

Really appreciate the pleasant owner and how he keeps the vibe non-fast food/Panda Express. The food is good. Good prices. (Located in Zipps/McDonald's shopping center)
(4)Leanne R.
I love this restaurant! And they deliver! They are quick, authentic, and tasty. When I need my "real" chinese fix they are my go-to! Their portions are huge... And did I mention they have green tea ice cream?
(5)Karlee O.
I have been looking for a good Chinese restaurant in the area and I finally found one! Panda garden had great food and great customer service. I will be coming back here for sure!
(5)Katrina B.
Very tasty, fresh, authentic Chinese food. We ordered dine in. The service was spectacular. The food came to our table in superb timing. We ordered orange chicken, shrimp fried rice, shrimp egg roll, and shrimp egg foo young. We enjoyed all of the herbs and vegetables added. The dinner portions were smaller than expected for the cost in comparison to where I live in Chicago. However, the restaurant had a cozy, family vibe to it. My husband and I decided to stop here with our children after having a taste for some down home Chinese food while visiting family in Phoenix.
(4)Derniique H.
For the price- def not worth it!! These dishes lack flavor. Pretty much over priced Panda Express - but Panda Express tastes better :/ we ordered pot stickers - blah...pork lo mein - eh....island beef - no....and chicken and broccoli was average.

Went to lunch with coworkers on a Thursday, it was a last lunch outing for one of our coworkers who is leaving the company and one of my coworkers suggested we get Chinese food, now still being new to our area we didn't know where to go, so whipped out the Yelp App and searched for Chinese food near here and found Panda Garden, so the place was set and off we went. We were a party of 5 and we didn't have to wait got seated pretty quickly for being high noon, sat at our tables and looked the menu, I was impressed with the selection they have for their daily lunch specials, and if those didn't interest you, they have a great looking lunch menu too. And the daily lunch specials even run on sat too, thought that was a nice touch as well. I wish I caught our servers name, I believe she might have been the hostess as well, she was very friendly and very nice, we all told her it was our 1st time there she asked us were we work and just had conversations with us, felt like a nice family place. I ordered the Gang Pang Chicken lunch combo with Lo Mein Noodles, I wanted to try something I never had before & something that was spicy, and this dish looked like the winner for me. The chicken was lighted battered and covered in this great tasting sauce and it had sliced green onions & fresh jalapenos, and with the lo mien noodles, that dish was delish!! I just need to remember to ask for more heat next time, but that's because I love things spicy hot! Happy to found Panda Garden and looking forward to adding them to my fast lunch time eats!

Had delivery tonight and it came as they expected it to be, the man was very courteous and the food was hot. But it was a little bit greasy and I felt like they were overpriced probably won't use them again but thanks for my Chinese fix
(4)Kristin H.
Great Chinese takeout! Finally found our new delivery place near our new home! Best fried rice around. Perfect crab Rangoon. Potstickers are delicious. The hubs likes their Kung Pao chicken. We've ordered from here four times. It's consistent!!! Seriously so thrilled to have discovered this place after many let downs from other nearby Chinese restaurants.
(5)Jacob M.
My girlfriend and I use yelp to find new places to eat and Panda Garden blew us away. Great food and service. She had the orange chicken which we both loved and I had the Mongolian beef w/ lo mein. Which was also perfect. Highly recommended.
(4)Kelsi S.
I ordered the Orange Chicken and it was the best I've ever had! I also ordered the cream cheese puffs and they were good as well. I will definitely be ordering again. I would give it 5 stars but took an hour and fifteen minutes for the food to arrive. But the driver was friendly and courteous.
(4)Kara D.
I ordered from here when I first moved to Phoenix and the food was delicious!! I got the house lo mein and their pot stickers. The delivery wait time wasn't long at all. I will definitely be ordering from them again!
(5)Chris B.
Everything we ordered was just...bad. The General Tso's chicken was overly breaded, mushy and barely seasoned. Mongolian Beef lacked flavor and was a bit of a mess. Fried rice was too oily and lacked flavor. Brown rice was over cooked.
(2)Christie L.
We drive over 20 minutes to just grab take out... Haven't found a better Chinese restaurant in phoenix! Definitely great food and service!
(5)Ashley Y.
It's hard to find a real authentic chinese restaurant, let alone one that delivers. This place is great!! Reminds me of my grandpa's cooking. The prices are fair, for the amount of food that they give you. My order took 45 minutes to get made and delivered but I'm not complaining! This is my new favorite place for chinese food.
(5)Max S.
Great, consistently good food. Cant get enough of the hot and sour soup- BEST anywhere. We eat there 1-3x a week. Great prices, good quality and quantity of food. Fans of their food, Lynn and Teresa
(5)Dimitri L.
Best Lo Mein anywhere in this town! Their dishes always taste fresh and are superbly balanced. We paid them many visits and were never disappointed. They deliver as well.
(5)Joseph P.
I have been eating here for years and have never had a bad meal... Super friendly staff and you can tell its family owned everyone is always happy to see you come in to dine. I always order the same thing the Gang Pang Chicken (Szechwan hot! Battered chicken with spicy hot peppers and green peppers) Lunch combo comes with an egg roll, fried rice and a crab puff... I really enjoy this meal each time I have it and trust me I have had it a lot I highly recommend it.

Service is fine. quality of food has fallen significantly
(1)Preston S.
Wow! Yeah I said wow. This was some really good Chinese food. It is payday and my coworkers wanted to go out to lunch. One of them was craving Chinese food. So Yelp to the rescue. We found this place and my coworker realized she used to go here all the time and said it was good. So off we went. It is close to work so that is good. The prices weren't bad so that is good. Decor was nice a little dark inside but still good. The tables had tablecloths with Chinese Zodiac place mats on them with a sheet of glass or plexiglass covering all of it. Everyone was checking their signs and their families signs and joking around about it. A nice distraction while waiting for our order. Service was great. They had no problem doing multiple checks and the food came out pretty quick. So did the drinks. The wait staff, which I think were the owners, were very attentive. Drinks always refilled and asking us if we worked in the area and where we worked. Also asked us if we had been there before. When we said no they brought us over take out menus. Now to the food. It was so good. Best Chinese food I have had in awhile. I ordered the Moo Goo Gai Pan. The white sauce that was on it was amazing. The chicken and veggies were perfect and the fried rice was really good. Everybody raved about their different meals. Not one complaint. They got us in and out with plenty of time to get back to work. That was even with 5 people in our group. I will definitely be back to try everything else on the menu. So far away from that other Panda it isn't even worth mentioning. Even cheaper then them too. Great find. High five coworker.
(5)Leonor C.
Food is pretty good here! They haven't let me down yet! Love the fact that it's family owned!!
(4)Art M.
Panda Garden - NOT GOOD!.... I have been here several times for lunch, and even dinner. The portions are very small, even the rice is a very small scoop. The main dish, whether it's for lunch or dinner is way too salty, and the food tastes old, the broccoli, was soaked and limp, not fresh and crunchy, so were the other veggies, the meats and seafood tasted limp and old also... The egg rolls are like something out of munchkin land...SMALL! very few veggies, and squishy....yew. Panda Garden: Too Expensive, Poor Value! = Not Going Back! Tip: Hot Wok Mr. Cook on Warner Rd. They have the best Chinese in this area and are made to order fresh loaded with veggies and the portions are very generous, and all together cheaper...
(2)A.J. C.
Food is very good. Lots of choices on the menu. Staff is very friendly. Definitely will be going back often.
(4)Robbie R.
I'm not from around here but I'm glad I stopped in here with my family for Chinese food. I was kinda worried with all the buffets and take outs in the area as I wanted something good. I was not disappointed. Really good hot and sour soup and 4 entrees could easily feed 5 to 6 people. The tea was good as well. The waiters and waitresses were really nice and the resteraunt was clean and comfortable. When I'm back in the area I will be sure to visit again.
(5)Derek M.
Lo mein has a very weird taste. Not sure why but pretty sure I dont want to know. Crispy chicken is not crispy. Breading is excessive and leads to a rubbery consistency. Not coming back. Sorry, but third time was not a charm.
(1)John A.
This place is pretty close to the house and I was hoping to find my go-to-Chinese place. Everyone has to have a go-to-Chinese place for those Tuesday nights when you don't feel like cooking and you just want to pick up your food because you don't feel like putting on anything fancier than sweatpants. It looks like I didn't find my go-to Chinese place. . . Meal: I have only been here once; I went with the chicken fried rice. Taste: Pretty decent taste. It was actually some of the best fried rice I have had in the valley. 8 out of 10. Value: Portion sizes were decent and seemed to be consistent with the price. The value isn't going to blow away, but its about spot on. 3 out of 5. Service/Cleanliness: Service here is incredibly slow. Really . . . . slooooooooowwwwwwww. I even noticed a couple of customers were really pissed about how slow the service was. There were at least 3 or 4 waiters when I was there, but there was maybe 7 tables filled with people. 5 out of 10. Atmosphere: Typical "mom and pop" Chinese restaurant decor. They have TV's running and it would be nice if they turned them off as they were annoying and distracting. 2 out of 5. Overall: There better Thai and Chinese places within a ten minute drive. I would suggest spending the extra minutes of driving to get something that is special. 18 out of 30 points, 2 out of 5 stars.
(2)Jimmy D.
Still great food, I have tried many of the menu items. My favorite is the "Triple Delicacy"; it is basically the Mongolian Beef with chicken and shrimp included. I have them add broccoli and carrots to mine. Delicious!
(5)Cindy N.
Haven't been here in awhile being we do live in Tucson. We get up to this area when visiting our son. So when not hitting the gamut of Mexican restaurants we went to our favorite Chinese restaurant in the Phoenix area. You can't beat the lunch specials. Three of ate for $22 bucks. Best thing is lunch is served daily until 4 PM. It's a very welcoming place. The owners are so nice and friendly. The place is so clean. It might be the white tablecloths that adorn the tables. The menu is typically Cantonese with the usual dishes. Everything is very tasty. We shared the lo mein, mongolian beef and empress chicken. The serving sizes are humungous. So needless the say we had no dinner later.
(4)Jody P.
Nice little restaurant. Really good quality chicken. Lots of options for entrees. Will be back again soon.
(4)Violeta H.
I thought panda garden was A-ok. I had the orange chicken and I know that's a boring entree to order but I wanted to compare it to other places I had been to. Anyways the food was a bit a greasy for my taste but perhaps I will give it another try.
(3)Jada L.
I go here often for lunch and I am never dissappointed. The service is super fast and very friendly. The food is fresh and delicious. I really love the double pleasure, it is shrimp and scallops in a spicy/sweet sauce. Only one thing keeps this place from 5 stars, I would much rather have a cup of soup than the salad. The salad is rather bland and not very good. The prices are great and have daily specials.
(4)Melissa H.
We come here for lunch and it's always great. Nice folks and very attentive, big portions and food is good.
(4)Mike A.
Some coworkers were going to Panda Garden and I asked them to bring me back lunch. I love trying new places. On a Friday when they went, their lunch special was Empress Chicken where you get rice, Empress chicken, what they call an egg roll and a crab rangoon. The only thing I liked about this dish was the rice. I ended up throwing my lunch way. The chicken were nice sized chunks and they were cooked good but the sauce was just down right awful. It was too sweet and has a horrible aftertaste. What they call an egg roll should really be called a spring roll and I don't know if I would call it that? Like the crab rangoon, there is no filling to it. Honestly, those should be left off the plate. I may try another item from here like orange beef which is my favorite but I won't be rushing back any time soon.
(1)Tim R.
Wow... I had to double check the address after reading negative reviews. The food & service here is consistantly AWESOME! I didn't want to tell anybody... because I won't enjoy waiting in the future lines.
(4)Brett H.
Great family owned place. Cheap lunch and the food is great. Good service. What more can you ask for.
(5)Mike Z.
The BBQ Pork Slices appetizer . . . check the picture . . . bump the PG up to a solid 4. It's brilliant. The best part of BBQ pork fried rice is the BBQ pork . . . so why not 86 the rice and go straight BBQ pork!?! I can't recommend it enough
(4)Mummy D.
Bad panda! Bad! Hot & Sour soup was actually so sweet. Gang Pang chicken was too dry needed sauce. Teriyaki bowl was sad white chicken swimming in a watered down sweet sauce with limp iceberg lettuce, shredded purple cabbage & carrots (think iceberg bag mix). Never again.
(2)Christy A.
This is my first ever, negative yelp review and I'll keep it short and not sweet. I experienced horrible customer service when I went to get lunch with a friend. I've never had such an unwelcoming experience from any food service establishment. And their food was meh. I've definitely had better Chinese food in the valley, such as Little Shanghai, Mekong Plaza, and Szechwan Palace@COFCO. Heck, even P.F. Chang's is better, and that's not really Chinese... OK, I'm done. :)
(1)Bruce B.
Very good Asian food. The ingredients are very fresh and flavorful. I loved the Shrimp in Lobster Sauce (hard to find anymore) and the Moo Shoo Pork as well as the Hot and Sour Soup. I try to go there once a week. Love the Shrimp Fried Rice as well.
(5)JamesandVictoria G.
Food and service was good, nothing special. If you like Chinese food, I do recommend that you try once.
(3)Ashley C.
Great food for unbelievably low prices; wonderful service, what else can you ask for? Love this place!
(5)Anna E.
Consistently had a great experience and great food here. We get takeout and it's always ready quickly. Our typical order includes Kung Pao chicken and Kung Pao vegetable, both of which have been excellent with fresh vegetables.
(4)Maggie H.
great place! the food is always good and the staff are so friendly and welcoming. They have great, refreshing iced tea. It's just your basic tea, but it's always good. Pretty much any dish you order will be good. A lot of their dishes are loaded with bits of garlic. They have great lunch specials and their prices are very reasonable.
(4)M. M. G.
They did a great job putting together individual lunches for a big holiday family bash we had--14 different selections. Well labeled, tasty food as if we had been in the restaurant. We love this for their lunch specials, the Empress Chicken is our favorite thing. Check out their specials for Chinese New Year. We had some outstanding food there last year, many courses and it was very reasonable. The looong string beans were a real standout. The family is always so friendly and they always remember us, it's just a nice local family-owned and run restaurant, we and love supporting them.
(5)J. T.
Panda Garden is now my go-to place for Chinese food. I was introduced to it a few years ago after my previous favorite (and their competitor) suddenly went downhill. Each dish I've ordered, usually consisting of chicken, shrimp or beef, has tasted fresh and wonderfully cooked while the sauces are consistently zesty. The family running the place is always friendly yet they know we're not likely to linger after I've finished my Schezuan chicken and Thai tea.
(4)Brian M.
For casual and takeout Chinese food, I like Panda Garden for lunch or dinner. The prices are great, the food is well above average, and the service is lightning quick. My kids like the soups a lot, and the sesame chicken. Not the best ambiance (local TV in the background), but you can't have everything.
(3)Brittany C.
I eat here so much I'm actually embaressed! This place is amazing, I never liked any form of asian food before I ate here, I always order the same thing..sesame chicken with white rice and crab puffs. I like how tiny the restaurant is and the fact that it is family owned. The owners are so sweet, there is never a wait either. They have really good lunch specials and the food is always fresh.
(5)Rob H.
I absolutely love Panda Garden. This is my favorite Chinese-Inspired restaurant in the valley, the pricy sit-down, dress-up places in Scottsdale and Downtown phoenix notwithstanding. Every dish I've tried has been delicious, and the service is very fast (normally under 5 minutes for a table of two) and extremely friendly. If you find yourself fiending for a Chinese fix, and are in the Ahwatukee area, you must stop by Panda Garden!
(5)Jeffrey B.
Very fast delivery and friendly service. Food is definitely above average. Not sure who would give this place a bad review...maybe people who thought they were getting Panda Express. Best Chinese in the area that I have found.
(4)Misty G.
Fast....scrumptious...and great price!! I ordered from here by just picking by name lol...glad I did....from phone convo to delivery it was fast and easy....very poliet staff...i will be ordering again!!
(5)Christine K.
I love this place, service and food is excellent. The lady that works there is exceptionally nice, reminds me of my mom haha! Good times.
(5)Michael S.
Panda Garden is a family run Chinese Food Restaurant that is always friendly, and most importantly, delicious. You can order dishes family style and there's plenty of delicious meals to try. My personal favorite is the Empress Chicken, sweeter then Orange Chicken, but the flavor just melts in your mouth. I just had the Kung Pao Two which is Chicken and Shrimp, and its even better the next day as leftovers thanks to the generous portions. They have a good selection of sake and beer as well. This is my favorite Chinese restaurant and hope everyone else checks it out.
(5)Lisa L.
best place for lunch in that part of town. They have great food and prices. The service is great too. They have my favorite garlic chicken
(4)Trina S.
I got take-out for dinner tonight. It's definitely tasty, and on par with most. Also, their spring rolls are huge!
