The group was on the hunt for something other than the traditional burgers, home cooking and Mexican food so we selected one of the first places we ate as a family when we moved to North Texas, Panda Chef. The restaurant is located in a strip mall and has plenty of parking. When you enter, you place the order and have to use QR Code which surfaces during the lockdowns. The boys really are conservative with their Chinese food and selected orange chicken, the smallest monkey is satisfied with his noodles, and I got the beef and vegetables. As a quick start we shared the egg rolls. The cashier was so friendly and funny. She made us feel comfortable in an empty restaurant. The egg rolls were very hot but chispy and good. The food arrived very fast and after praying to HIM, we enjoyed our meal. The orange chicken was not that sweet like other places. The beef and vegetables had a good taste yet the garlic sauce a bit bland. With all the plates, appetizers and customer service it was a good experience. A bit heavy on the price at $66 but warm and fresh tasting Chinese is...
Read moreBeen ordering from here for several years, I'd say in the last year the food quality went down. Not sure if they changed food suppliers or what. We usually order their apps, which taste good, but even there we're noticing changes in the way those apps taste.Like the chicken sticks. To me it seems like they're using lower quality ingredients and it reflects in the taste/appearance. This time we had family visiting and we ordered about $60 in take out, I tried their Chicken Teriyaki, it was the worst Chicken Teriyaki I've ever had. it was thick cut grilled chicken breast served on some vegetables, rice and teriyaki is on the side. The chicken had a off taste and it was super dry and sauce just lacked any real flavor, both me and my dad had 3 bites and threw the rest away. The sweet and sour chicken was also fried but was real dry and lacked flavor. This has been the trend over the past year of ordering from here and now we're just done. It's too bad because we've given this place 5 years of business. But because of this experience we will look at other options when...
Read moreNew to the area and in the mood for Chinese. Its always a little worrying to try a new Chinese place but Panda Chef was a good choice! Overall Im completely happy with our order and will definitely be ordering from them again!
The portions are huge! I'll get 3 meals out of my Sweet and Sour Chicken. The Sweet and Sour sauce is that really rich red type - my favorite, and they gave a big bowl of it. Chicken was good quality and well cooked. Hot and Sour soup was perfect! Good flavor and not too spicy. My husband got Egg Drop Soup and Broccoli Beef and really enjoyed it too. Also, they put all appropriate silverwear in the bag - thats important sometimes!
Only a few minor complaints: delivery was slow. Time quoted was 45min-1hour. Food arrived at 1hr and 15min. The rice and sauce were not very warm. The rest was good though. Also, the Crab Wontons are made with huge chunks of onion. I wasnt a fan of that. (Who puts onions in a Crab Wonton??)
Overall great food, great portion size, great prices! We will probably just pick up next time to avoid...
