“China 8 is amazing. Found it by mistake and now I know this great secret. Food was hot, not heat lamps. Very fresh, and customer service was top notch. We will be coming back here. I had sweet and sour chicken yum! Fresh brewed ice tea too. 8-7-2025“

“From Florida where good Chinese is hard to find. This place was blocks from the house. Went during lunch and the food was really good. Potstickers, shrimp, hot sour soup, mixed Kung Pow and Sweet and Sour soup Chicken with fried rice, egg roll and bbq pork and a couple of Tsing-Tao’s. Large portions which we took home. Hot and tasty. Will go back again. It is American style Chinese so if you’re looking for some kind of authentic taste or style, keep looking. This is what we know as good Chinese growing up on the west coast.“

“Hard to not love getting a fortune with your meal ,) mine was Happiness Lies in the Road Ahead. Place is a pretty good standardization of chinese fast food...probly better than half the strip mall chinese take out on every other block in SoCal.“

“This was such a great experience from start to finish. We were able to get last minute reservations and the team welcomed us from the moment we stepped in. It was my wife's birthday and they made us feel very special and even sang a song for her along with a free desert to wrap up the evening. The staff was wonderful and food did not disappoint. We will be back for sure!!“

“This is a beloved locals’ spot! I thought this was just a typical Chinese chain restaurant, but it is not! The ingredients are fresh and a lot of healthy dishes here especially the soup and salads! Reminds me of Hosum Bistro in Newport Beach, CA. Always a good casual go to! Also great daily happy hour, 3-6p!“

“This place has been in PS for a very long time. Pretty decent food in comparison to any other Chinese restaurants in the desert. They remodeled which updated the resturant a bit. They have a good lunch menu where there is a decent portion of food for the price. Family run which is nice. If youre in the mood for Chines food worth the stop!“

“all pandas are pretty much equal because they are chains and pretty consistent across the board. but sometimes you get a particular server who is beyond helpful and friendly and tonight i have to say that alexiia was that server.

she had service with a smile, offered me a drink because i had to wait a mere two minutes for some fresh orange chicken, and then made sure my food was packed up quickly and efficiently.

just had to point out that she was great.“

“As far as fast food goes, this place is pretty consistent…. The food is usually pretty fresh and the serving sizes are good too. This location is always clean and well maintained. The staff here tonight were efficient and helpful, even though there was a line out the door. This happens occasionally mid week when they do a school fundraiser.“

“We stay at a timeshare near this restaurant. It is in the shopping center where I shop for groceries and I have seen it for years.\nLast night we wanted to go somewhere close by, so we tried it.\nIt was really good. The service was excellent and the food was very good. This will be a new regular spot for us when we visit.“

“Was looking for a place to dine on my recent trip to Palm Springs Happy to find Wangs on Open Table Food was excellent and portions big enough to have a second meal from the leftovers Went with Mongolian Beef and Chicken Fried Rice Both were excellent choices Certainly worth a visit if you are in the area and looking for Chinese food“

“11/5/24 - I just visited this panda express for the very first time, and I'm highly impressed with the customer service, food, and atmosphere. I ordered orange chic, fried rice, chow mein. It was packed and during lunch, but the handsome manager and entire staff were super fast and efficient. I agreed to wait for fresh fried rice, and I'm glad I did. It didn't take long and everything tasted delicious. The young man who bagged the takeout was very kind as well. Even the restroom was clean.

Thanks guys!

“I had a fantastic experience at this establishment! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by a friendly and attentive staff. The manager was especially impressive—juggling multiple tasks with ease. Not only did they take the time to personally interact with customers, but I could also see them ensuring the cleanliness of the facility and overseeing the staff prep the food. It was clear they care about every detail, making sure everything runs smoothly and customers are well taken care of. Excellent service all around! Highly recommend! Thank you Tiffany!“
