china panda — Restaurant in Brunswick

I hate to write this review but it was awful. After 75.00 I included a tip as I always do. We were expecting Chinatown...cannot compare. The little lady was sweet as can be. The buffet to the right was filled with stuff..odd like a yard sale stuff.. As a retired chef and frequently going to Chinatown restaurant this was a huge disappointment. Sad. First off the Pupu platter was just plain awful. The grease was old and smelled rancid. The chicken sticks were uneatable. Over fried and tasted bad. The sweet and sour chicken bites tasted like freezer burn. Everything was over fried and tasted bad. The egg rolls were soggy. Don't get me started with the egg foo young...large balls of egg goo zero vegetables in the foo. ...and the sauce was like soup with no flavor..the shrimp chop suey had no flavor and like 6 shrimp. The Mongolian beef was like shoe leather and funky taste of beef. The hot and sour soup was just hot. Actually the only thing that was good was the rice. Needless to say that we threw out the food. Horrible. I hope that you read this review. It's not to pick on your food but to make it better...if Chinatown only knew. Y'all are family? You need to come back. Good luck China Panda we will never go back again. God...

I was completely unaware that the previous no longer ran the place. My wife had me order sesame chicken, egg roll, and crab ragoon. As soon as my wife taste the rice she immediately spat it out. "This must be the same people cooking". Then she when to eat the sesame seed chicken and gagged after tasting it. The fried rice tasted weird I cant describe but it does not tasted good at all. Like they said Ouu let's try cinnamon fried rice today and use the same sauce for everything. The sesame seeds chicken tasted old, tough, gritty and sesame sauce just had the nasty taste. I tried the crab ragoon and I nearly vomited 🤢, because the texture and taste of it. I dont what they attempted to create or make but the food is not good at all. Then I called to let the owner know about the encounter with the taste of the food and she was defensive. She told that I was wrong the food is good and they have been in business for over 30 years. I never asked for a refund then the jumped to saying we dont refund money, when i simply trying to inform her of the quality of the food. She was receptive and frankly I dont think these people care about...

This is not china town anymore, I don't know we're Cindy and her family went, this place is ran down and food is not the same as it use to be, I went in a few months ago and was told they were cousins and they would be back, food was gross tasted like soap and oil, well I go back and it's the same people they changed the name from China town to China panda food was totally uneatable, 3 rd timeI ordered lo mein crab ragoons and egg roll the amount if grease in the bag alone told enough, and a fountain drink and went to get pink lemonade it came out the machine orange colored and spoiled in my cup and she hands me a bottled lemonade aid and pretends what just happened didn't happen. There is a buffet bar when u walk in with all kinds of junk on top of it like nick nacks and pictures purses etc. This place has been ran down. I'll never spend my money here again. I've have this place 3 chances and not one of them have...
