The pu pu platter was fantastic for just $13, featuring delicious, meaty ribs and well-fried wings that weren't greasy at all. Everything was excellent. I also gauge a restaurant by its fried rice, and once again, Panda Wok impressed me. Unlike some places that use store-bought frozen peas and carrots, their fried rice included hand-cut onions and carrots, perfectly seasoned and mixed with the rice. The pork pieces were generous and flavorful, resulting in great fried rice.
I also tried their wide rice noodles with chicken and was equally pleased. It’s common for noodle dishes to be overly oily, but that wasn’t the case at Panda Wok.
Additionally, I appreciate their open kitchen setup vi...
I ordered a range of dishes for my mostly vegetarian family. The positives: they paid close attention to our special requests online, and overall, the food was quite good. On the downside: the spring rolls were mostly just wrappers with very little vegetable filling, and the TVP (textured vegetable protein) entree was not appealing at all. It might not be fair to compare it to meals from Vegetable Garden or Yuan Fu, but at Panda Wok, the veggie 'meat' consists of small, slimy pieces of obvious TVP. They don't seem to make any effort to make it look or taste meat-like.
I ordered online and requested no soy sauce in the special instructions , and the chef literally called me while he was cooking my food to suggest that he could use a different sauce in the dish to make sure there would be no soy sauce in it. How thoughtful of him! Great service! Thank you! Dietary restrictions: Very nice about making my food gluten free, no soy sauce.
My hidden gem for Chinese. Everything is cooked a la minute, meaning the proteins and veggies on your dish will have at most 10min in the wok, so if it's a little bland, make sure to coat it in its sauce, which will have most of the salt.I hope they don't give in and overly salt their dishes just like every other restaurant out there.

Panda Wok, this place is very very nice! There is nothing not to love in this place. Only problem is that it’s way too busy! That’s good for the store but not for me. Food is very good but it takes some time to order. All in all very good place but is just too busy for me.
Pork chow mein was fatty pork, celery, sprouts, and a watery, tasteless sauce. They forgot the noodles. The moo shoo was way more overbooked, and very salty. I don’t usually complain but this was bad.
Ordered delivery (all vegetarian dishes) and it arrived early and was delicious Vegetarian options: Large variety of vegetarian options
The vegetable fried rice was very dry and lacked flavor. I ordered takeout, went home, and had to season the rice, to make it edible.
