Yes great food ♥️ and good location.

The Best food 100 % recommended

It is a nice upscale Chinese restaurant. I have been here, only once. It was in the middle of October, 2021, during my birthday week! Of course, I came here on a weekday. Nevertheless, it was crowded. However, I did not mind the wait. Since my meal was prepared. At the same time, they had a good selection of cocktails. Furthermore, the service was prompt, helpful, and attentive. The prices, though, were on the expensive side. Still, if anyone enjoys Chinese cuisine, I would recommend a visit to this establishment. Though, I would recommend to look at the pocket book!

Service was slow, but the server was swamped; doing the job of two people is difficult. The wok fried edamame had a good flavor but was greasy. The hot and sour soup was delicious! I would go back just for that. The fried rice was a little bland. The Phoenix chicken is a highly recommend. The sweet and sour pork was tasty as well. Everything was fresh and worth the wait. Just give yourself lots of time when going there. It will be a minute.

Very beautiful restaurant.Food is amazing and our server was super nice and helpful I forgot his name.Good vibe

Generous portions of food hot and fresh. Decor is awesome. Great experience. The white chocolate covered fortune cookies are the best. ?

It is a nice restaurant, located near the I-10 Freeway, in Ontario, California. I have been here once, in middle of October, 2021. I have visited this establishment during my birthday week. It was in the middle of the week. Still, there was a wait line, to get seated. Nevertheless, I did not mind the wait. Since, I was seated after 10 minutes. The meal, that I have ordered was delicious. The cocktails, at the same time, were well made. Since quality of food and service was good, the prices were on the expensive side. Nevertheless, I do not regret spending my money, in this establishment. The next time, when I have disposable cash, I will return again.

A couple weeks ago I got to try Panda Inn in Pasadena with a few friends. We had a great time and tasted several menu items family style.We started with the minced vhicken with lettuce cups, a mix of chicken breast and toasted almond strips with oyster soy sauce and iceberg lettuce. These were actually really good. They were like Chinese protein tacos and very yummy.For our main courses we tried an array of dishes. My favorite was the Kon Pao San Yan with chicken breast, sliced beef, succulent shrimp, fresh ginger, green onions, red jalapenos and roasted peanuts stir-fried in spicy soy sauce. It had just the right amount of heat and peanuts. All the meats were cooked well too.The next best thing was the family style fresh ramen noodles tossed with parmesan cheese in an Asian garlic sauce with shrimp. These were a huge hit and a great accompaniment to the main dishes. I wish they had a little more garlic though. Some bites tasted just like noodles and butter.Now for the dishes that weren't as good in my opinion. Wanting to get a good sampling, we had the Ma Po Tofu in a spicy garlic sauce with diced water chestnuts drizzled with green onions. To me, the tofu had the consistency of mush. I asked my friend if that was normal and he said yes, so I guess I have a problem with textures. Besides being a gooey mush, the flavor of the sauce was decent.My least favorite dish was the sliced beef with snow peas, shiitake mushrooms, and bamboo shoots in an oyster sauce. Again, this might be my personal preference, but the sauce was not good at all. It made the beef slimy and inedible for me. I couldn't get past the taste or texture. I don't know if that's just the way it tastes, but I wouldn't order it again.We all shared and sat in a large dining room with a beautiful panda stained glass window. When you walk in you're immediately hit with the delicious smells coming from the kitchen. I'd definitely give it another try and taste even more new foods.

My wife and I decided to try something new since our favorite place local did not survive the Pandemic. Since, I have longed for a decent sizzling rice soup and shazam, the search is over. In addition to the appetizing soup, the courses following were also very delicious. Very polite and professional throughout the night. Looking forward to the next opportunity to enjoy the Panda Inn!Thank you

Food was plentiful, but lacking in flavor.
