Panda Garden — Restaurant in Grande Prairie

Where to start. I wish I could give this place a 0 out of 5. Not only was the food terrible, the employees rude, but they were also dishonest. I went to mama pandas with my parents, and niece. We left, and I know I accidentally left my phone on the table. I immediately realised when I got home, and drove back. I inquired about a phone on the table, and was met with silence and odd stares when I first asked the two women who were responsible for clean up. I then talked to the "supervisor" and her initial response was hostility. She pushed a phone toward me and said "call 911". I told her it would be silly to call 911 as this is not an emergency and I'm not looking for trouble. Her exact words were "Trouble? OH we love trouble. We welcome trouble". I knew they had security cameras, and when I first asked to see them I was told she wasn't allowed to view them, nor was I. So I called the local police department. When I told her I was waiting for them to call me back, she then asked for the time I was at the restaurant and said she'd go check the tapes but I couldn't go. Needless to say she said she didn't see a phone. Easily the worst experience I have ever had at...

The food was really good and the service isn't that bad (they could be a little more attentive). However, whenever I've eaten here (twice thus far) there's always some obnoxious group of people that are being really loud and degenerate. It was really uncomfortable to sit around trying to enjoy a meal, especially when other families/small children are around, and having to be subjected to the lack of self awareness from some other patrons. The staff should have been less passive and asked them to be more respectful - or to leave. I don't think I'll go back.

Update: I noticed the waitresses talking for extended periods of time with the group of people that were being degenerate/having explicitly sexual conversations while other patrons (with their young children) were trying to enjoy their meals. The waitresses gave the impression that they knew these people outside of work and were friendly with them. Keep better company and do better. I won't...

We came to eat here in their last hour of operation (as part of a celebration). Not only did we leave feeling hungry but massively disappointed in being cheated out of $75. Upon arrival they said the kitchen was closed & to visually check what was left, to which what was left was visually fine. What we did not know was that everything was going to be hours overcooked, unbearably dry & hard or saggy. They ended up taking away plates of uneaten food because it was too gross to eat, we actually felt sick. Unlike some costumers, they know that at that time of the day the quality/value of the food is not at all worth $25, as everything is next to going into the garbage. All we asked for was a discount, but not only could their "morals" not allow that, they also tried shorting my friends change on purpose because they did not have the correct change. Such a waste of money. We were deceived, therefor we feel scammed. After $75, we then had to go eat...
