Panda Garden — Restaurant in Fairbanks

I used to order a bit more when my grand lived here in Fairbanks so we could eat together. I have issues with food so her and I eating together mad it easy for me to eat . But have not been ordering out at all since her and her other half moved. I am a professional cook by trade so I also have a love affair with food just don't have an affinity to eat. I ordered from panda garden yesterday 10/15/24 and got sick specially after got a mouth full of hair on my noodles with chicken and I proceeded to worship my toilet there after it's currently 5:13am 10/16/24and my gut will not stop turning over have spent the night in the ER n just got discharged and am now home but still having vomiting now have to take meds that I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE ER BILL I HAVE TO PAY FOR AND THE ENDLESS DRY TOAST ,TEA,AND GINGER ALE.* ALL FOR REAL BAD FOOD THATS NOT CHINEESE !!!! OH YES ADULT PIDIALITE TO BALANCE MY ELECTROLYTE!!.. OH DID I MENTION IM DYING. So getting that sick so violently so fast is not,not on the menu. Thank you!! In a kitchen clothes should always be freshly laundered,HAIR SHOULD BE PULLD BACK AND UNDER A HAIR NET ,FACIAL HAIR IN A COVERING AND MASK SHOULD BE WORN WHILE COOKING NAILS SHOULD BE CUT AND CLEAN BEFORE ETERING A KITCHEN TO TOUCH COOK WEAR AND ESPECIALLY FOOD. AND ABOVE ALL AFTER S.M.O.K.I.N.G. HANDS AND NAILS SHOULD BE SCRUBED WITH ANTIBACTERIAL FOAM SOAP AND DRYED WITH A PAPER TOWL,!!!!!!!! YOU ARE PUTTING THE PUBLICS HEALTH IN YOUR HANDS AND YOU M.U.S.T.VALUE THAT AT ALL COST. SO AS A PROFESSIONAL COOK WE MUST ALWAYS,ALWAYS PUT THOSE WE SERVES HEALTH FIRST. WHST WE LEARNED AS CHILDREN OF CLEANLINESS IS CLOSE TO GODLINESS IS SO TRUE. AND HAS THAT BEEN THE CASE I WOULD NOT BE THIS SICK. I SO BELIVE IN GIVING SECOND CHANCES NUT NOT...

This is a review update. You can see my previous review below however, they must be under new management or ownership because the quality, taste and customer service went from a 5 star to a 1 Star. I’ve ordered the same dishes for 5 years and they used to have plentiful veggies in them. Now the veggies are sparse to non-existent. Food is now flavorless and they began charging for duck sauce when they use to provide it complimentary. I think an egg roll should come with duck sauce as it does at every other Asian restaurant I’ve ordered at. I will not be ordering here again because I no longer enjoy the food or the service. It’s quite a shame.

The portions are huge and the staff (usually one lady and her chef) are very good. They remember me and my order. Once I forgot to ask for my special modification and she double checked with me to make sure that’s what I wanted. I always ask for extra sauce and I get it without extra charge. In my opinion, Best Chinese food in Fairbanks, hands down. This is a takeout...

Ordered a pickup order today (2/18/18) and was so excited for some damn Chinese food... We drove to a park to eat to find NO utensils, I thought “wow that’s a first” luckly I had some in my truck.. then no napkins... okay whatever, maybe they forgot. I ordered wonton soup with my combo plate.. tasted like STRAIGHT CHEMICAL WATER, wontons had NO flavor. So I moved on to the egg roll... bit into it.. STRAIGHT CHEMICAL taste AGAIN.. I’m pissed by now but hoping the meal itself is better. I got the chicken in garlic sauce, NO FLAVOR WHATSOEVER.

On the up side, the pork lo mein I got was very yummy and their fried rice is tasty.. but after $35.00 and giving them a $4 too all I want is my money back for at least my meal (since my husband was able to eat his).

So bummed...
