Reviews of Panda Chinese Restaurant (Restaurant)

Joyce Sanabria

The food here is gross it did not taste fresh at all! The pork fried rice was just a mess the pork pieces were grey and did not smell good. The chicken wings were given to me refried. I threw all the food away money wasted. I wish it was good since it was close and convient but I guess it was a learning experience. Never again....

Kristyn Evans

Costumer service woman up front is racist and incredibly rude. She seems to be the only one that speaks at least minimal English. If you can look past their costumer service, the food is actually really good.

JEROME SHOCKLEY

Great food. Friendly customer service. One of the best Chinese restaurants around the area.

Karen Gros

We have visited Panda Chinese Restaurant many times and have dined in and ordered take out. Service is great here for a 2 to 3 person operation and the food is very good. I have to say we do take out mostly and the wait time is only about 5 to 10 minutes at the most. Dining is also good with a 5 minute wait for your food. You order when you come in and food is delivered to your table. This is all the table service offered but if you need anything all you have to do is ask. My favorite on the menu is the pepper steak. It always comes with fresh pepper steak that isn't over cooked. The meat is also very tender. Other items here that we love are the egg rolls, hot and sour soup, beef lo mein and their fried rice. You cant go wrong here! Large servings and fair prices!

Vatekeh Corlon

Very bad service. when ordering from the phone. The lady in charge did not let me speak to the manager and hung up

Buzz Kill

for a rural town, this is actually a pretty good chinese joint. Their lo mein is very good, and their chilli pepper sauce is powerful. Not bad at all.

Thomas Barss

Food is amazing. Very quick to order. Wait time is very low. Always clean and tidy.

Mitchell Lafferty

The orange chicken is a must have

Kris Rhodes have a

Great food! Big portions

Derrek Bertrand

Every 1 & 2 star review misses the point of this restaurant. Cash only. There's an ATM towards Wal Mart if you need one. This is a restaurant for people who love Chinese American cuisine. Not for people that are emotionally invested in fortune cookies or think that everyone in the world needs to speak perfect English.

Teresa Armstrong

Everything

Best Chinese in town... sure the place is dirty and sure they are rude but who cares the food is great

penny sun

这里距离沃尔玛超市很近……其实就在拐角处的位置，如果不是门口的open字样，我都以为没有这家店。我点了炒米粉和炒面，口感和国内的味道差别不大，而且店家上菜速度很快，个人对口味很满意。我们去的时候正好有旁边的装修，有点影响店家的生意吧……无论如何，口味不错，我很乐意推荐大家来尝试一下……

Abby Burkhalter

This place is dirty and the staff are rude.

Walt Fredericks

Food is very good. Had the chicken wing which are huge and moist. BQR were very tender. The best was the chicken and broccoli. The best one in town and I have try them all.

Gail Dugger

OMG - just visited Panda and the "women owner" dropped an egg roll on the floor. Looked to see if anyone see her and boxed it up for a call in order. A few months ago they were cleaning the vents over their cooking pots. I walked out that day. I'M DONE WITH PANDA IN KOKOMO IN.

Barney Butler

Love their fried rice and egg rolls

Mike Rhine

Food is decent. People are not that friendly, and is cash only. As a side note I am pretty sure this place is not part of any chain or franchise, and definitely not to be confused with "Panda Express"

Tania Smith

Have ordered take out several times from here. Always hot and tasty, am very happy with the quality of the food and the prices. Will be eating here again.

Sleauxguy .

The owners are always pleasant and smiling and happy to see you and the food is good with good sized portions. When I walk in they know what I want and how I want it prepared and thats good customer service.

Victoria S

This is the single best place in town to get orange chicken. Their location is unfortunate, because the wind blows all the trash from the shopping plaza into the corner they're in, and the new signage for planet fitness partly covers the sign for Panda. Don't look past them, though! The last several times I've gotten food from there, it has been excellent.

Mr.G

I deleted my Past review to post this one..... "BE ADVISED".. On 08/05/2019 This place was shut down by the Health Department!!!! But the Owner still opened up to still serve the Public. The Health Department Sign that was on the door was flipped over by the Owner so the public would not see it!! Once I seen the sign... I demanded my money Back!!! He gave it back with No problem. With him being so deceiving.... I will no longer purchase any food from this Establishment.... EVER AGAIN!!!

James Jones

Some of the best Chinese food I've had in a long time awesome place

Michael Watts

Great food friendly service !

FaZe Rogue

I have always gone here and like the food. Had my 1st bad experience tonight. Sweet and Sour chicken - chicken tasted spoiled (bad). Had a slimy feel to it.

Austin Fidler

Best Chinese food in kokomo amazing prices. Where they lack in hospitality they make up with quality and price. Would 100% recommend if you are in the mood for take out.

Stacy Pipitone

Called, asked if they delivered, the woman said "no, well what do you want" I told her and then asked how much was min delivery and she said you need more, like $15 or $20, I said ok, and then she goes on to say sorry, I can't deliver to you and hung up. Ummm yeah...customer service???

Andre Lewis

Best Chinese food in Kokomo In..

david meredith

For a TIny tiny little town like this I was shocked to find such a great place. Good food good ingredients and good service.

Terri Jones

Great food wish they had chicken on a stick

Sue Z

WHAT A DUMP. I walked out.

Juliana Daniels

Food was good.

Adrian Owen Jones

I don’t know what I would do without Panda. Pretty standard Chinese cuisine, which is a real luxury in Clinton. Healthy and delicious takeout options. We love the Szechuan tofu and the double delight!

Tim Tom

I saw lady, she is not welcoming really, lost my wish to eat

Renee Gaines

Was ok, for the average Chinese Restaurant.

Chris Bousum

Always delicious!

Gerald Kishel

Good food, price reasonable.

Shane Lear

Great food and great prices and they're fast. They don't take credit or debit cards for some reason, though.

Timothy Swaney

Chicken and Broccoli was banging they added carrots as I requested...and only 5.00.

Matthew Mead

Good food and the people are very nice

Laurie Parent-Popken

Great price and Good area

Alisha Matthews

Best Chinese In Town it only received 4 stars bc the staff is sort of rude!!

KOKI Vasquez

From outside don't look good but food is awesome

Kamen Ballow

Good food

joyce Nason

Person at counter can speak minimal English. Could not understand a word that she spoke. And being to lazy to get with the program and start excepting plastic is ridiculous. Have always enjoyed eating at Panda everywhere I've lived but won't be going back to the Kokomo location.

nina perez

While the lady behind the counter may be blunt and short I don't believe she intends to be rude. Either way the food taste and PRICE makes up for it. You can also snag a free cup of hot tea while you wait for your order or while you eat there. -did I mention the prices? The lunch specials are really cheap. A great place for a quick lunch. TIP: you can call and order ahead of time and pay when you get there.

Felix Rodriguez

I always eat here it's better than most places.

Tim Bourff

Great food, always consistent order is always right. lady is hard to take sometimes, but always friendly with.me.

Debbie Gross

The prices were good, they delivered my food within a short period of time, the food is delicious and the portions perfect! Also I asked for no onions, which in other similar restaurants they seem to have a hard time understanding but...no onions as I asked! I'd recommend this place to anyone! (They are making me put a review for the decor but as I had my food delivered I really can't say but I'm sure it IS excellent!)

CrimsonJewel07

Great!

2nd time here and both times got my order wrong. The girl in the front is rude... talked over me when I ordered, probably why my order wasn't made right. Go somewhere else...

Mutt Pup

I can't speak about the food, i never got a chance to eat any. After placing a large order on the phone and then driving from outside of Kokomo, i was greeted with the salutation, "Cash only, no credit card!" Since i was buying for my co-workers and it was a business credit card i was using, there was no way i could pay for 9 meals with my money. Maybe let phone customers know they need cash before they head your way. Also, the Google ad takes you to PANDA EXPRESS when you try going to their menu, which makes ordering for new phone customers rather difficult, especially with the language barrier.

Rich Ripple

Tasty, fast and inexpensive!

Karen Armstrong

Good food owners are always nice

Tiffany Black

Best Chinese food in Kokomo

Mrs. Madd

This was my go to place but they recently got shut down by the health department and while they were supposed to be closed. They were still servicing customers with a closed notice on the door and had the notice upside down and the door wide open so no one could see it. If it wasn't for a lady that said they have a notice on the door we would have eaten their food and not known it was shut down. When we asked the owner why they were closed he said something like oh the floor was dirty. And acted as if it was a minor issue. Well I'm done at this place. Good luck to u if ur going to risk it.

misaVR .

This is NOT "Panda" Panda. They just named private takeout restaurant that way.

Stacy Stewart

Food is consistent in taste and service is always the same-good. Just wish the owner would speak clearer when answering the phone. If I didn't call all the time I would not know where I was calling.

Cindy Thibodeaux

Always hot and delicious not to mention large portions. Best Chinese hands down! And I mean anywhere!!!

Vinnie Vegas

Awesome food!!!!! I can't stress this enough!!!! Best Chinese in town!!! But be warned they DO NOT accept debit or credit card. Cash only!!

Quazonia Quarles

Great choices but they need to fix up the inside.

Francesca Perry

Good food

Scott Freeman

Best Chinese carry out

Marie S.

The shrimp and broccoli is delicioussss! The chicken wings are nasty too; not that flavorful. But customer service sucks. The lady working the front; her attitude alone sucks. That’s why they get 4 stars. But otherwise, the food is really good.

Brian Graves

Fast service and always smiling.

Daina Walker

haven’t even tasted the food yet but the lady at the front is very rude and i’m not a fan.

Simply Me

Great comfort food...

Ambrosia Rimmer

Alex Aguilar

Good Chinese food place

Katie Moore

We love tgeir general tsaos chicken! Cheap and delicious!

Heather Rowan

Absolutely terrible customer service!

Leigh Schanot

They remember my order, make it the way I ask and it's good. As a pregnant lady, I couldn't ask for more than exactly that.

Kimmie Dillman

Amazing food! I normally do take out and they put a lot of food into their containers. I can just about always have two meals out of the dinner size meals and for the lunch size I'll end up eating the rest as a snack later.

Barby Suffield

Had not eaten there in several years , the food really has gone down hill. Couldn't eat it(hard,chewy&bland) returned it the next day & my $$ was cheerfully refunded.

Kristen Zilempe-Mills

I love the steamed wontons there, but everything has been good so far!

P dot Miller

My wife and I went here and the place was filthy. The lady at the register was rude. Our last time eating here!!

Jon King

Love eating here! Best place in kokomo!

Angela Smith

Pretty good food

Jan Mar17

Great food!

Brian O'Neill

The best chinese food I have ever had! Shrimp in garlic sauce was awesome with little portobello mushrooms, luscious shrimp, and quality veggies. The price was right, too. It matters not that the cashier was a bit bossy. She's all business 'cause the food speaks for itself.

sharon ellwood

Very nice place. Great staff

Kanika Brown

Good food long wait

Ricky Hanson

Delicious and fast.

Ming Gao

Hi Gail, The woman that works at the cashier unfortunately doesn't speak English well to understand the sanitary customs in America. In China, a lot of food is actually recycled and have a higher than average probability of containing trace chemicals that the FDA/Sanitation Inspector would deem grade F. I have spoken to her regarding the quality of life here is much different than her home country, as she is now aware of the circumstances. The vents have to be properly maintained and while cleaning, the restaurant woks are flipped upside down (so you see a dome instead of a normal wok in cooking). There is usually nothing in the woks during closing/cleaning and the woks are cleaned/scrubbed with stainless iron wire sponges which probably has an infinitely higher chance of leaving a residue than the actual 'residue' that would be collected due to cleaning the vents. I hope you can understand Panda is a competing fast food restaurant: this means the food will be cheap vs getting P.F. Chang's or some 3 star eatery. All in all, I would suggest raising your concerns with management... the woman is not the manager but the assistant manager. Thank you for your patience and understanding! Best, Ming

Chad Cook

Best Chinese food within 100 miles!!! Wont eat Chinese food anywhere else!!

CMBarbarian

My family has eaten at Panda for years- best eggrolls in town!

Chad Warner

Just so so

Ellen Schwartz

At the risk of seeming boring...I eat their food at least 4 times a week. And for those of you complaining of the 'atmosphere'...close your eyes, the food is great!

Cool Hoosier

Food is usually great -- once in a while tastes old. The woman at the counter is VERY Rude. She acts like it is such an imposition when you ask for a Fortune Cookie. Prices are pretty good for lunch, but please don't ask for a Fortune Cookie

Andy Pandy

Horrible. One of the worst Chinese I've ever been to with dull unappetizing not flavorful food which is extremely greasy.

Pamela Durham

Always ready when I get there. Can't always understand them, but they always understand me, and my order is always correct.

Lauren McMillan

The food was mediocre, but the service was worse than the DMV on a 90° F day. When I called up Panda Restaurant, the woman on the other end delightfully began the conversation with, "Hello, Panda Chinese, what your order?" I asked, "Do you have delivery?" to which she replied, "What?!" I repeated the question. She began speaking to a customer in the restaurant and hung up on me. I gave her the benefit of the doubt that maybe a finger slipped and called back to repeat my question. This time she stated that they stopped delivery so I placed an order for pick-up. I began: "General Tso's Chicken combo..." which elicited another lovely back-and-forth. "Whaaat?" she cried, unsure of what I meant. So I explained in the simplest terms possible: "General Tso's Chicken, broccoli, pork fried rice..." She responded, "Okay, general chicken, broccoli, fried rice. OK. What else?" I gave her the rest of the order without incident. So I got there 15~20 minutes later and told the women at the counter the last 4 digits of my phone number so they could find my order. Initially I was given the wrong order. I repeated the digits and eventually they got the right bag. Before the transaction was finalized, another hapless soul wandered in to pick up their order. "Hi, I called ahead. Just Lobster Lo Mein," the poor lamb told the women running the desk. They stared at her blankly and responded, "Shrimp Lo Mein?" Confused, the patron repeated, "No...Lobster Lo Mein." As the two women continued to stare at the customer next to me, one began to speak to the other in Cantonese. After speaking in her first language, she said one last time, "Shrimp Lo Mein," in hopes that maybe that would have changed something. After much confusion, they finally agreed to make the girl another dish and finished my transaction. Without verifying their contents, I checked that they gave me the three containers of food I had ordered and headed out. Once home I sat down with my boyfriend ready to enjoy an unhealthy indulgence and opened up the entree to find chicken & broccoli. Too tired to call them to complain, we resigned to eat the slightly healthier dish which, had it been what we wanted, wasn't that bad. The moral of this flowery story (or TL;DR): Don't go here, people! I have no idea how this place is still in business considering that not only did they hang up on me and screw up my order, but the person who walked in while I was there also had THEIR order messed up! Reading other reviews it looks like it's also pretty common for them to hang up on people. There are other options close by, so avoid this place if you can.
