I ordered the bulgogi and it was delicious and the portions were generous. And my takeout order - on a Friday at lunchtime was ready to go quickly.
It's my favorite restaurant of all time! Absolutely delicious!
I've been going to Panda Garden since they opened and it's still one of my favorite Korean restaurants in the Midwest. Some things have changed over the last 20+ years but the food has always been good and I enjoy the mom and pop atmosphere.
Best Korean food around! The owners Mr and Mrs. Cho are always incredibly kind and hospitable. Our family has been frequenting Panda Garden for almost 20 years and we always look forward to our visit and that wonderful kimchi!
I use to LOVE coming to Panda Garden. After Korea House closed, it’s one of the few places here in Lincoln that I could order Korean Food. My most favorite meal being the Korean Short Ribs, served with white rice & Korean side dishes (typically Kimchi, seaweed salad, etc.) My last visit 4 visits have been disappointing. When the husband of the eatery is cooking, the food is hot, seasoned & usually very good. He always gives a decent amount of side dishes, along with the main dish. I’ve attached photos of the amount of Kimchi I received after paying $17 for my short rib meal. The wife of the shop is so stingy when it comes to giving side dishes out, and her cooking is always rushed with poor quality. There was no “juice” or “sauce” on my short ribs, just dry, bland meat. I paid $17 for my meal and she piled my side dish container with some sort of spicy potatoes, mixed with jalapeños? I went looking for my kimchi, the best pairing with short ribs & rice. The amount I received with my $17 is ridiculous. I suppose that I should’ve paid an extra $2 to receive a decent amount. I understand times are tough, and I don’t mind paying up for a good meal. Kimchi is relatively inexpensive to make, there is no excuse not to provide customers with an amount that reflects the price of the “meal” that doesn’t even include a drink.
My go to for the best Chinese food!
The food wasn't that good at all like I remembered
Small, personal, and friendly. Simple decorations and very clean. Bibimbop and a little kim-chee, and she come over to "show" me how you were supposed to eat it. CUTE Just the 2 of them run the shop. She is especially proud of her tea. Enjoy.
Awesome place hot food steam coming right off plates never got cold while eating nice owners and good prices unfortunately was wanting to have kimchi bar but covid 19 ruined that right now I will return again I had the tofu lo mein my mom had the panda garden lo mein(beef,chicken,shrimp) both loved it and soup was amazing $1.25 for cup of soup best egg drop I had in a long time and free hot tea I hope they don't remove that
The employees were very kind, and the food is inexpensive and good. It is also one of the only restaurants I know the get kimchi that is also cheap.
