Panda Garden

Lathe Of Heaven (Lathe Of Heaven)

Firstly, I normally do not go out of my way to give negative reviews. I only do so rarely and if I feel that there is a very good reason for it. I DO want to say that the people there are very friendly. The manager/owner greeted me pleasantly and the waitresses were also very nice. Normally I go to Pan Asia Buffet off of Nordahl drive in front and to the left of Walmart. The food there is exquisite EVERY time! Ironically, the people there are not terribly friendly, but the food is absolutely excellent! However, I was tired after working today, and my bank is in the same parking lot as Panda Garden (Citibank by Del Taco) I didn't feel like going all the way across town to the always dependable Pan Asia Buffet, so I thought that well since I am here, why not... I ordered the very simple honey spicy shrimp with a few added pieces of chicken. Both the shrimp and the chicken were SUPER tough and hard and I could honestly barely chew them. I ate about 1/3 of my dinner and I just could NOT finish it. It was so awful, I didn't really want to take the rest of it home. I politely told the waitress, almost apologetically, that the food was just too tough and I couldn't finish it. Interestingly, NO apologies were given, NO comments, NOTHING... AND, to add insult to injury, even though I left about 2/3 of the food on the table, they still had the nerve to charge me full price WITHOUT ANY APOLOGY, COMMENT, NOTHING! So, I quietly paid the $20 or so for about 5 or 6 pieces of tough, almost inedible chicken and shrimp. I see people go in there, and I guess they have their regulars. I can't imagine WHAT the hell they order, but what I had was truly atrocious AND I really did NOT appreciate that they made absolutely NO effort even to apologize or adjust the price, again, NOTHING! So, I felt that I really had to come here and leave this review. I just simply will NEVER EVER go there again. I will make the drive across town to the Pan Asia Buffet, no matter HOW bloody tired I am, and for about the same price, maybe a few dollars more, I can have an absolutely LOVELY dinner with delicious food and a HUGE variety (I most highly recommend the teriyaki chicken, it is to frigg'n DIE for! 😁)

VERY disappointed. This is the first time I’ve ever posted anything- it was that bad. Read all the good reviews and was excited for some good Chinese food. Something had to be wrong with the cook today based on what I read. Sweet and sour chicken was extremely dry and pretty much inedible. Pork fried rice had a strange taste and after taste. Won ton soup was very bland. The fortune cookies were even stale! And the worst for me were the egg rolls. They were more like spring rolls and ‘mushy’ inside. I was really looking forward to a good egg roll!!

I love their cream cheese wontons!! I go there just to order them. I like the other dishes veggies and chicken spicy style but CC Wontons are the bomb.com!

I always come here for American Chinese food. The food is great because they are not oily. They taste excellent. I drive 1 hour here every weekend just to have dinner. Great food. Excellent service. Must try.
