Panda Wok — Restaurant in Toronto

I am a customer of this restaurant since March 2018, had dined in and took out many many times. Their decoration is not attractive but the food is good no doubt. Day before yesterday i went with my family to dine in. Ordered 3 items. Table was empty, after 10-15 mins there came some small disposable plates with disposable forks-spoon. After asking for a jug of water and glasses the Chinese middle aged lady told me many unexpected things, what i understood in a nut shell was - she is the only person takes care of this and that, this place is mostly for takeouts and if i call her and ask for something i should pay her tips. I don't know what happened in between her and the previous customer before me, but she took the frustration upon me. I said i'm a customer since 2018 and another young lady Juliana knows me quite well. She said "i didn't see you in 3 months" I said "you don't need to know me to behave properly". I usually pay tips whatever i can wherever i dine in, but this lady kinda pressure me to get my assurance to give her tips before serving water to my table. My family didn't want to spend a single moment there and we left cancelling our order. I won't be going there...

Pad Thai - absolutely abysmal, it was sugary and sticky and tasted as if someone dumped noodles into a mixture of ketchup and sugar. There was no chicken in our food but tofu instead even though we ordered chicken and shrimp pad Thai. 1/10

Chili beef - after the pad Thai this was surprisingly good, it was spicy and the beef was tender 8/10

Garlic chicken - very garlicky, and well sauced. It was crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Although I would ask for less sauce next time. 8/10

Chili chicken - tasted like it was fried and then dipped straight into a jug of soy sauce, there's no chilli aspect of it just salt. It's edible I guess. 5/10

Mushroom fried rice- well seasoned, large chunks of mushroom, and overall a good meal. But I am deeply disappointed in the use of canned mushrooms. 7/10

Shrimp fried rice - again well seasoned and no real complaints here. 8/10

Overall the food was pretty good, a few things were lacking but the real issue I would say is the service. I asked a staff member a question and she looked at me like an idiot and told me to Google it.

It's a great place for takeout but I don't recommend sitting...

Panda Wok has been a part of my life since high school—and the food still tastes just as good as it did back then. I stopped by recently and ordered the lunch special (just over $10), and the portion size was more than enough for one person. After a library study session with my brother, it brought back so many memories.

Their chilli chicken is hands down my favorite—juicy, flavorful, and with the perfect kick. Over the years, I’ve also tried their pakoras, Manchurian chicken, ramen, and vegetable spring rolls—every dish has been consistently fresh and delicious.

This place has been around for a long time in the plaza, and they’ve never compromised on taste or quality. If you’re looking for comfort food at a great price, Panda Wok is definitely worth it.
