Panda House

So I’m not a Chinese expert. I like my chicken and broccoli and lots of noodles. The mei fun is fantastic. Skinny noodles with chicken or vegetables, sorry, no beef for me. Easy to order, and always ready quickly. We always pick up. My Dad lives by the lunch specials as his go to meal. Chicken fingers are like sweet and sour chicken, breaded, fired, and served with red sauce. My husband loves them, but I consider then pretty standard. Enjoy!

We order from Panda House often and really like it. We get delivery and they are always coming within 20 minutes of ordering. Everything is fresh and I always think it is funny when the 10 yr old that works there picks up… you will see if you call. :) Great food and good prices. Recommend this to anybody in the Meriden area.

It makes me sad to not give them more stars, but I just wasn’t a fan of the food I tried at Panda House. Everything else was great, but there was something less that terrific about every item I tried, except for the beef teryaki, which I really liked. Panda House does get a couple of important things right. They are extremely friendly, very reasonably prices, and they are lightning fast. Our delivery (granted, we’re just at the top of the hill) arrived in less than 20 minutes, easily. I wasn’t watching the clock, but I was surprised when they arrived since it seemed like the phone had barely been hung up yet.
The basic chicken and broccoli was bland and a bit too oily. I didn’t have extremely high expectations to begin with, since it is a pretty unremarkable menu item that I chose to order. I own that. But it just didn’t have much flavor to it. I will say, it was a kid-​friendly dish. If you have picky little ones at home who happen to like broccoli, I bet they’d eat this without complaining that it was too exotic. I’m imagining they have a good vocabulary. Anyway, the portion was certainly generous, and if you like it, you’ll easily get two meals out of it for less than $ 5, which is a real bargain. My parents loved the Szechuan wontons, which were basically regular wontons covered in a spicy sauce, which somehow also tasted bland to me. There were tiny bits of meat in the wontons, so you end up eating mostly wonton wrapper. I didn’t try the wonton soup, which seemed to have actual meaty wontons in it, so maybe that would’ve been better. I did like the beef teryaki skewers though. They were just what I expected. I also enjoyed the few bites of General Tso’s chicken (ordered extra spicy) that I snuck off my dad’s plate.
I’d give them another chance, for sure, especially on a crummy day when I just want dinner to come to me. In like 5 minutes.
