Panda Restaurant — Restaurant in Lemon Grove

Panda Resturant is our go to place for the BEST teriyaki chicken in San Diego. The chicken is pan seared on the outside and moist on the inside. The sauce is savory in the sweeter side and really makes the chicken complete. This also comes with the freshest veggies and a side of white rice. I highly recommend ordering this! Depending on if you are ordering a small or a large the prices range from $7-$9 but can feed 2 people!

My equally favorite item to order here are the chicken and pork banh mi sandwiches. It included picked cucumber, carrots, daikon, and sweet grilled onions, cilantro and pepper to top it off! Beware of the jalepenos! Those are hot for me but really give it a kick.

I usually stick to these items, but their chow mein is also very tasty. And my mom loves their won ton soup.

If you are in the area stopping here is a must! This restaurant doesn't get a ton of people that eat in and is mainly delivery or pick up. Don and his brother are very friendly and we love...

I ordered here via BeyondMenu and I am saddened that quality control slipped to a 3 out of 10 stars.

I ordered two appetizers and two entrees. One entree was incorrect (right dish, wrong protein) and the appetizers ..well let's say more care could have gone into the food prep.

There were shells present in the shrimp entree. (When, I ordered Kung-Pao Chicken).

The BBQ pork fried rice had huge chunks of fat and tendon sitting in it .. and there was no bbq to be found. and the fried rice was a bit scorched this time around.

The fried shrimp appetizer .. had clearly been fried hours ahead of time based on the fact that it was served at room temperature, and rock hard.

It is really a shame, that service was absymal enough that I am here posting this. Normally Panda-house is our "Go-to" place for easy Chinese takeout. But this left a bad taste in our mouth's. Figuratively...

2.5 STARS - This was my first time eating here and I will say prices are pretty decent, lunch orange chicken was a very small portion for $8+, I also ordered the house chow fun and it looked amazing but had absolutely NO flavor AT ALL. It was bland, unfortunately. I got home and seasoned it myself. Cooks definitely need some classes or something to get that right and get food out quickly. My wait was 37 minutes in total (ordered otp). Although, I will say the man in the front was very nice and welcoming.

Will I come again? Maybe. Will I ask for...
