Panda Garden — Restaurant in Town of Bonnyville

Panda Garden in Bonnyville, Alberta, offers a distinctive take on Chinese cuisine, but regrettably, it doesn't quite hit the mark in terms of authenticity or service.

First and foremost, the adaptation of Chinese dishes to suit Canadian tastes seems to have led to a loss of authenticity. While fusion can be exciting, it's important to maintain a balance that caters to both sets of flavors. Unfortunately, this balance seems to be missing, leaving diners longing for the genuine Chinese culinary experience.

The service experience during our visit was less than satisfactory. The attendant who served us appeared rushed and disengaged. I, being a hearty eater, started to order some appetizers, only to have the menu pulled out of my hands. A warm smile and an engaging attitude were conspicuously absent throughout our interaction.

What astonished me even more was the speed at which our order arrived – my party's six-item order was served in less than 10 minutes. While efficiency can be appreciated, it raised concerns about the freshness and preparation of the dishes. Quality should never be sacrificed for the sake of haste.

In conclusion, Panda Garden in Bonnyville, Alberta, might offer a novel twist on Chinese cuisine, but it falls short in terms of both authenticity and service quality. Dining experiences should be enjoyable and welcoming, and it's regrettable that our visit didn't quite meet these...

Customer service is horrible. To the owner of this restaurant, I’m sorry but you need to do something with your business. Our friends are supposed to join us dinning in your restaurant. After what happened we went to the other Chinese restaurant in town and earned...

I ordered Beef and Broccoli, Veg Fried Rice, and Beef Chop Suey. There was a mix of onoins, carrots, celery, in the Beef and Broccoli. The same vegetables in the Chop Suey, and no mushrooms, snow peas, and water chestnuts. It's like the chef just threw in all the same mixed vegetables in every dish and cooked it in different sauces. This was a takeout dinner, which I included tip when I ordered. My husband went to pick up, and the person at the front hovered over him to ensure he put in...
