Panda House — Restaurant in Chantilly

Let me start by saying, "I HATE CHINESE RESTAURANTS." They smell like used cooking oil, the food is over or undercooked and greasy, and the staff does not want to be there much less deal with customers. However, Panda House has completely changed my perspective. From the moment you step inside, you'll be impressed by the immaculate establishment that's free from any lingering greasy food smells.

The friendly staff immediately makes you feel welcome, greeting you with warm smiles and attentive service. Despite the bustling atmosphere, our food arrived remarkably fast, allowing us to dive into our mouthwatering dishes without an excessive wait.

I opted for the Singapore Mei Fun, and let me tell you, it was an absolute delight. The noodles were perfectly cooked, not a hint of stickiness in sight, and the flavors were simply divine. The curry sauce was a standout, with a rich, vibrant hue that suggested freshness and care in its preparation – no pasty or dull appearance here.

The portion sizes were generous, ensuring that you leave feeling satisfied without the discomfort of overeating. The attention to detail in the presentation of each dish further elevated the dining experience, making it a feast for both the palate and the eyes.

Panda House has single-handedly restored my faith in Chinese restaurants. From the impeccable cleanliness to the prompt and friendly service, and most importantly, the incredibly flavorful and expertly prepared cuisine, this establishment stands out as a shining example of what a Chinese dining experience should be. If you're looking for an authentic and thoroughly enjoyable meal, Panda House is an...

20220105 I haven't been here since it was opened, and it was because the food was OK. I stopped by to give it another chance, and the food is still ok. I love beef chow foon but they cooked it differently (with veggies) than the last time I ordered it. Beef chow food is usually beef, chow foon and spring onion with a soy sauce like sauce. The way it should be. I got the eggplant, and it has an interesting sauce that has a bit of sour like flavor. I don't think I will come back here ever again. The sesame balls were good. Reminds me of the ones I got from the Korean grocery store frozen section. There might be where they got them. 🤣

Pretty good for Chinese Fast Food. Their menu has a lot more options than the standard Chinese Fast Food restaurants, and some dishes are priced at more than fast food prices. The service is excellent and very friendly and polite. I ordered the Spicy Beef Stew with thick foon noodles. It was express food quality. The noodles weren't the foon noodles that I love. These were thick, too wide, and break apart easily... kind of rectangular shape The broth, beef and veggies were good, but it wasn't spicy. The beef wasn't in thick tender cube meat, which is what the spicy beef stew noodle soup that I have had at other restaurants. I don't think I'll order it again. I do want to try other dishes on their menu. I did order some BBQ ribs for my dogs, and they loved it. They looked delicious. I didn't try...

The Chinese restaurant has pretty authentic home style dishes with large portions. Tucked in at the corner of the Franklin farm shopping mall, this carry out place offers a few dining tables, which is more than enough for occasionally eat-in's. I drove by the mall a hundred times and finally was brave enough to try out this place because carryout places can be hit or miss, and I don't like regretting over a lunch. The first impression was great because the inside was clean and organized. I especially like they have two kiosks where customers can take time to go over the menu, so I don't gawk at the long list behind the counter like an idiot. I ordered the "hot pepper pork" from the Chinese menu and the taste was pretty close to what I find in China or my wife's kitchen. The portion was so large I wasn't hungry for dinner. I made a note to come back at the...
