Panda Kitchen

Service was slow and not very warm or welcoming. They weren’t busy and had two servers so that wasn’t an excuse for the slow service.
The appetizers tasted like they were fried in old oil.
Although the Sweet and Sour Chicken was slightly better than what we experienced last week at another restaurant the Kung Pao was alright.
We had to flag down our server a couple of times as she never came by to see if we needed anything and when we did get her attention she forgot our request promptly and we had to ask again.
All in all, not an experience we will be repeating any time soon.

Love the sesame beef, one of my favorite dishes. Eat lunch here often, get it to go and take it back to work.

Took the wife last night and was disappointed :-(
Service was slow, how slow? So slow that when the food got to us it wasn’t hot but barely warm. Walnut shrimp wasn’t crispy, it was soggy and yep, you guessed it barley warm! The only dish hot was the pork chow mien which was above average.
Hope the owners will read and correct these issues!

Meh. Friendly and fast service, but the food was mediocre. I had the orange chicken which had a lot of garlic on it. Those just don’t mix well, in my opinion. The water tasted terrible, which made the tea taste terrible. Not a fan.

My favorite place to eat Chinese food in Carson! Whenever I pass through the Carson City from Lake Tahoe, Panda Kitchen is where I must stop by to fill my Chinese food craving. Great food, and great service! Family style portions and can feed a hand full of people. Love this place!

I’m a fan of Panda Kitchens history, they’ve been in Carson for almost 20 years… but their food makes me wonder how they’ve managed to pull off such an impressive feat. I’ve eaten here a handful of times and have always been disappointed. The staff is friendly, service is prompt, the prices are reasonable, and the atmosphere is nice, but the food is some of the lowest quality Chinese food I’ve eaten. I do not recommend eating here with so many other great options available in the Carson City area.

Team BunnyRanch used to go there every sunday night and loved it. We had not been there in a while since they close on sundays, I took madam suzette for her favorite Asian chicken salad, its was super and way cheap! like $ 6.95, I had the Egg flower soup and we shared some Won tons, we walked out full and happy for $ 12, WHAT A BARGAIN. I support small biz and the owner Steve is a great hard working guy, I LOVE HIS TV ADS, NO MSG! The fresh orange at the end is a nice touch.

I remember this being decent Chinese food. We tried to call in for a work dinner tonight. My co-​worker tried to call in the order. About the time she got through the first item on the order, fried rice, the lady said «we’re too busy» and hung up. I called back, the owner answered. He took the full order, and said it’d be about a half hour. I ended up at the store 45 minutes later, and they seemed surprised, and started making my order. The store was only half full, so I didn’t really see why they were so harried looking. 30 minutes later, they gave me the food, with the total coming to 61 dollars even. I was semi mad, but still gave a 10 percent tip, mostly because of the old guy there is cool. So, 67.1 later, I’m on my merry way with what would turn out to be mediocre food. And, apparently they weren’t happy with the tip, because it magically turned into a 20% tip by the time it hit my account, for a total of $ 73.20. I’ll be calling them tomorrow. And never eating there again, while doing my best to ensure no one else does either.

I consider myself somewhat picky when it comes to good Chinese food. I like my rice fluffy, the veggies fresh, and my chow mein flavorful and non-​greasy. Panda Kitchen accomplished all of the above and then some! The pork in the fried rice and chow mein was lean and flavorful. I tried my friend’s cashew chicken and it was terrific as well. The restaurant was very cozy, clean, and the service was good. And something you don’t see much anymore is the chef (owner?) coming over to check on how we enjoyed our meal. Kudos to Panda Kitchen!

Love, love, LOVE it! We moved away from the Carson area for seven years and seriously one of the things we most looked forward to is coming back to Panda Kitchen. I have yet to eat anything there that I haven’t loved. I stick with things I normally like, so I’m never surprised or disappointed with something new. But I’ve tried at least 10 different dishes and they are ALL delicious. My favorite dish by far is simply their deluxe fried rice. Yum. Steve and his wife are the best too. It will be a sad day when they retire.

Secret Family Recipe??? Well you had lousy cooks in your family. I spent most of my life traveling all over the world and this one of the farthest from traditional chinese food I have ever experienced. We don’t have many choices in Carson City but there are several better than this. Won’t be back.

Great food, all around very good authentic cuisine. The generals chicken is the best!!!

We ordered a take-​out feast; basically half the menu came home with us. Maybe it would have been better a little fresher because we ended up with greasy noodles, questionable meats, bland vegetables, and in general, not the best Chinese food. The sesame beef, however, was sweet and tasty, however Americanized. In general that may be the problem: there’s no taste for authentic or traditional Chinese food in the area. I understand a certain amount of customer loyalty because the food’s not at all revolting, it’s just… I’ve had better. I’ll give it another go, maybe eat in, and hope for a better experience. It’s not your fault, Panda Kitchen, I’ve just had better.

Great simple fast, we’ve been coming here for years.

Lunch with the boss to go style. He had chinese vegetables, white rice and egg roll. I had special chow mein with pork fried rice and won ton. So much food I was able to share! Totally delicious and great price!

I love this place, but only because, for the entire 10+ years I have been going there I only order one thing: the shrimp with lobster sauce. It is divine. However, I acknowledge that the other food is standardized Americana Asian. Their lunch special gives you a lot of bang for your buck, as it comes with soup of the day, egg roll and a wonton. The staff has been around for years, and sadly, most of them don’t have a good grip on English. They have a regular following, but I would not recommend this place if you want a true taste of Asia or anything spectacular. Unless you have a taste for shrimp with lobster sauce.

I have eaten here twice and been impressed. Yes, it is «american-​style chinese,» and yeah, they have hispanic workers, but the portions were large, They give you like twice as much of the main dish than rice, which I love! And, It tastes great! I personally recommend it above any other in town that I have tried… It’s hard to find good chinese here!

I have been going here since I was a little girl. I live in Las Vegas and have yet to find better Chinese food. I love this place. great variety. The meal comes with soup, tea, egg roll, and a wonton for a very cheap price. It has a family feel to it. Steve, the the owner, is very friendly and remembers what we are up to. The service is quick, the food is fresh, and it’s a very clean place. My absolute favorite place here!
