Provided by YP.comLove their orange chicken bowl and chow mein! The do take a while for preparing the orders, but it's forgivable during that time since it was crowded.

Provided by YPmobileLong story short, they hung up on me when I called to place an order. This happened multiple times.

Provided by YP.comI love coming to Panda Inn for my favorite dish: the honey walnut shrimp! Delicious food, great service, and great atmosphere.

Provided by YP.comWe love this place when entertaining visitors from out of town. We usually ask them if the have been to a Panda Express and if they have we tell them, "This was the original one!" Of course, when we get there they realize we were kidding and are blown away by the variety and complexity of each dish. The Honey Walnut Shrimp is to die for and the Lettuce Wrap is excellent. We have never been disappointed by anything new we have tried, and, that is unusual in a Chinese restaurant.
The bar is fun because of the bartender who actually talks to you if you are waiting for a table. They drinks are well made with the good stuff.
We will usually take something home with us because we order more than we should, but, it's hard to decide on just 2 items per person! :o) This is one place I would recommend reservations for dinner or for Sunday Brunch.
I've made myself hungry just writing about this place... "Hey, hon, let's go grab a bite to eat!"

Provided by YP.comThis place has very good Americanized Chinese food. Most Chinese places fail to differentiate themselves from each other but the taste of the fare at Panda Inn sets it apart. The food has great flavor and is very fresh. The interior is nice as well.

Provided by YP.comMy co-workers and I go to Panda Inn for lunch and sometimes we have large groups and each time they have handles our group size very well from small 5 to large 15 people. The portion and quality of food is very good and the same each and every time.

Provided by YP.comMet a friend here on a recent Saturday to gab and get our grub on. We were seated fairly quickly, especially given that there seemed to be something like five large family functions going on here all at once. Every time I looked up there was another group of people coming in with wrapped gifts, dressed in party finery. I thought we'd have to wait a while for service as well, but this too was pretty prompt. However, our server seemed confused by some of our inquiries. I'm allergic to shellfish and mushrooms, and have to be careful when ordering Chinese. I know this can be dicey in a busy place like this, and as accommodating as most places are, I try to look at the menu online before I go so that I don't have to burden my server with lots of questions. Still, the few questions we had for clarification on a couple of menu items were mostly met with a blank stare. The other odd thing about this place - and about where we happened to be seated - was that we were very close to the doors to the kitchen. I witnessed some pretty gnarly collisions between wait staff, and some nerve-racking near misses. All in all the food was good, however, and I'll go again, though I'll be sure to order only what I know, and request a seat away from the swinging kitchen doors.
