Panda Paradise — Restaurant in Rialto

Was here yesterday. My go to place in SB is closed for renovation, so had to find an alternative. This was the closest for the time we had.

I had the 2 entrée combo, Kung Pao and Brocoli Beef, with Chow Mein only. My Friend had 3 entree, fried rice and chow mein. We also tried a veggie eggroll and chicken, i believe. We tried some of the oil with chili sauce.

First off it felt a bit overpriced for what we had, we paid $35. Also for my friends Entree, the third item should've been placed in a separate container. It was spread over the top of food below.

The egg rolls were subpar, at least the meat one, didn't taste like it. Chili sauce didn't taste like nothing more than what it is, oil and chili.

My food was Average tasting, nothing over the top. I tried some of my friends Orange Chicken, i felt that one tastier and a good crunch to it. Noodles were a bit greasier than what I like.

As far as freshness, its hard to say, we got there 15 mins before close time, so they're not gonna be cooking anything at that time.

Most likely won't visit this place again. For the price and taste, someone might be better off going to Panda Express. Just not for me.

But i do gotta say, Lady...

I recently visited Panda Paradise on North Riverside Avenue in Rialto, and unfortunately, the experience was anything but paradise. Upon walking in, the ambiance felt uninviting— tables were visibly dirty, with remnants of past meals scattered around, which left me questioning the cleanliness standards of the kitchen.

Given the unsatisfactory environment, we opted for takeout instead. We ordered Fried Rice, Chow Mein, Orange Chicken, and Kung Pao Chicken, hoping to salvage the evening. Unfortunately, the food did not live up to expectations. While it was edible, everything tasted quite ordinary, lacking the bold flavors and fresh ingredients that one typically anticipates from a Chinese restaurant. To top it off, the prices seemed steep for what we received, making it hard to justify the spend.

I would love to be able to recommend this place, but the combination of a messy dining area and underwhelming, overpriced food left a lot to be desired. Hopefully, Panda Paradise can work on improving both their cleanliness and culinary offerings. For now, I’d suggest exploring other dining options in the area. Not coming back to this place...

I had an exceptional dining experience at Panda Paradise! The ambiance was warm and inviting.

The service was top-notch - our server was attentive and rhe food was outstanding, with each dish expertly prepared and presented.

The highlights of our meal were the spicy wings, which was spicy and savory. The egg rolls were crispy and delicious, and the fortune cookies were a lovely touch at the end of the meal.

The prices were very reasonable, especially considering the generous portion sizes. Overall, I highly recommend Panda Paradise to anyone craving authentic and delicious Chinese cuisine.

Favorite dishes: Kung Pao chicken, beef and broccoli, egg rolls

Price range: Moderate ($15-$25 per entree)

Will I return?: Absolutely!
