The service was okay--but, although the wait staff was nice-- the food was incredibly bland and uninteresting.

Don't go to this place if you don't want to be strong armed!



My girlfriend and I went to this Panda Inn last night for dinner and were horribly treated. We sat down and were never asked for a drink order. We then ordered and when the food came out, the waiter brought me white rice instead of the fried I had requested. He also had no pacing on the food and brought out the dinner at the same time as the appetizer. The food tasted OK, better than most Chinese fast food,but not as good as several other Chinese restaurants such as China Dynasty, Happy Dragon, Hunan Lion, or Hunan House. At the end of the meal the waiter didn't ask us if we wanted anything else (my girlfriend was thinking of trying one of their sweet drinks as a desert) but instead just threw the bill down on the table and disappeared. Because of the mediocre service I left what I thought was a generous tip all things considered of 10%.



As we got up to leave, the waiter came over to our table and told me that I needed to leave more of a tip, that 15% was standard.



I asked to see a manger and tried not to disrupt the other patrons. I took the manager to the side and explained myself to him. Instead of agreeing that the behavior was unacceptable, the manager AGREED that I should have left more of a tip. I politely but firmly explained that tips are not required, that I would not change my tip amount, and that I would never return to that restaurant again. Save yourself the trouble of being harassed and head to Hunan Lion 2 blocks up Bethel Rd. instead of this place. Hunan Lion has better food, better atmosphere, the same prices, and a far superior waitstaff.
