🥢 Panda Inn: How to Order as a Chinese Foodie 🇨🇳🍽️

Forget Panda Express — meet its OG originator: Panda Inn in LA! Here’s how to order like a pro: 📍 4 LA Locations: Pasadena (flagship), Glendale, La Palma, Ontario 🧑🍳 Kitchen Secret: Many chefs are from Yangzhou & Shanghai — so Huaiyang cuisine is their strength! 🥗 Must-Order Starters: ⭐ Lettuce Wrap with Minced Chicken – Crispy chicken, water chestnuts, almonds in fresh lettuce. 🌱 Stir-Fried Edamame with Garlic – Wok-tossed, not boiled! Ask for spicy. 🦀 Crab Cheese Wontons – Handmade with real crab & cream cheese. 🥞 Moo Shu Pork – Their classic — wrap it up and enjoy! 🍤 Seafood Picks: • Honey Walnut Shrimp – Way better than Panda Express, walnuts are fresh. • Scallops – Plump, juicy, great value. 🐟 Fish with Green Bean Sauce – Ask for sauce on the side to keep it crispy! 🍚 Mains Worth Trying: • Braised Lion’s Head Meatballs (Yangzhou style) • Dry-Fried String Beans • Yangzhou Fried Rice – Lighter and more authentic. 💬 Final Take: Panda Inn is where Chinese locals enjoy, and it’s also perfect for introducing American friends to elevated Chinese-American classics. 🥡✨ #PandaInn #ChineseFoodLA #HuaiyangCuisine #LAEats #FoodieGuide #OGPanda #AuthenticFlavors #MustTryLA
