Panda Garden

Hey first time I order here; my veggie fried rice was ok! BUT my go’s prof friend rice was not good; she says «it was blah» … so what ever that means is a 2* in my book. Will probably be back due to the fact that it is the closes to the east end of LB!

This place is awful.
I ordered sweet and sour chicken and they are the only place I know that puts the sauce all over the chicken instead of on the side — it was drenched and awful
I ordered chicken pad Thai and got rice with some sort of egg and peanut sauce
Edamame was soggy and the hot and sour soup tastes like egg drop with red pepper

A-​OK Chinese takeout from Panda Garden! Expecting nothing when I walked in, I was pleasantly surprised after all was said and done. No outdated 70’s menu pic on the wall here, you’re ordering from a normal looking menu here. The menu is pretty standard, although they have Japanese dishes too. I stuck with some soup and steamed chicken with a garlic sauce on the side. The eggdrop/​wonton soup was above average as was the chicken (it actually looked like chicken!). I’ll never understand why it’s $ 3 extra to get a steamed chicken dish, as opposed to a combo platter of chicken, pork fried rice, soup and soda, but whatever. My body loves me spending that extra $ 3. Overall, not too bad! Would come back when I’m in need of a quick bite.
Protip: call ahead. There isn’t a great waiting area inside the joint
Bonus points: the inside looks way better than the outside. A few normal booths inside.
Loss of points: handwritten sign for ‘cheese wontons’ taped to the window.

Grease central ! Delivery is fast but it really isn’t so hot… I couldn’t even say three stars to give the A-​OK… it’s just alright, not even a-ok…I wouldn’t waste your money… since it is delivery you can call someone else who will deliver (I love Kam Cheng– spelling?)
I ordered shrimp toast and it was just greasy beyond edibility…
Super nice people though lol. My kids go there pretty often (teens) since it’s around the corner and it’s fine for them. I actually had the beef/​broccoli the other day and that was actually good… soooooo salty but I guess that is the thing that makes us crave Chinese food :)

One of my favorite rainy Sunday activities is eating Chinese food, on my couch, with my dog, while watching tacky tv. In my sweatpants (i know what you’re thinking… this girl is SO HOT).
This place is ok. Not great, but not bad. They’re quick on the delivery which is great and they have decent deals (if you spend 15 dollars they give you noodles, stuff like that). The sushi is ok, but it’s heavy on the rice and light on the fish. From the Chinese food side I’ve tried sesame chicken (ok), general tsos (ok) and chicken chow fun (I think that’s what it’s called, I like big flat noodles!) but it’s actually bland. Is it possible to have bland Chinese food? Yes, it is.

my favorite takeout chinese. generaltso chicken nice and spicy. peper steak fresh red peppers and onions. egg roll good. spring roll not ctrispy or tasty. chow mein did not look or taste like chow mein. very goodfried wonton in oil. so more good on menu than bad

Solid Chinese take out at Panda, it’s been here for as long as I can remember, the same owners I believe as well. The food has always been consistently good, the inside of the place is clean and not greasy looking at all, no mess ups with the orders and deliveries are typically within 20 minutes. And you know if you live on Shore road in Long beach you are not willing to move your car after 5pm! Delivery here is the way to go!!!
