“I had the green tea ice cream and it was awesome! :)“

“I placed an online order with Panda Express, but when I arrived, they had no record of it. Luckily, I had my email receipt. Even though the place was absolutely slammed during the lunch rush, Yesenia took one look, said “no problem,” and got me my food right away. I even offered a small tip for the team’s hard work, and she just smiled and asked if I could leave a review instead. They were hustling non-stop with a line out the door, and Yesenia’s service was top-notch. I couldn’t recommend them more—big shoutout to Yesenia for turning a mix-up into a great experience!“

“Six of us adults had fun selecting the food for the table. Everything was nicely prepared, clean tasting, easy on the tummy, and comfortably filling. We were well served, questions enthusiastically answered, and glasses were kept full. We met the new manager and easily give him five stars. If you haven't been there in a while, it is well worth a visit. Real Chinese food.“

“Best noodles I’ve ever had“

“The sweet and sour pork at Shang Hai Restaurant is pure comfort food perfection—crispy, golden, and coated in that irresistible tangy-sweet sauce. One bite and you’ll understand why this place is a local favorite. Absolutely delicious! 🥢🍍“

“China Pavilion is hands down one of my favorite restaurants ever, and absolutely my favorite place to get dim sum. The food and tea are always delicious and the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Everything is delicious, but some of my favorites are the shrimp and chive pies, Szechuan wontons, baked bbq pork buns, and egg custard buns“

“I don’t know what’s better: the vibes, the food or the bartenders. We loved our experience here! Such a hidden gem off the beaten path. A local told us to try the Reuben egg rolls - I don’t even like corned beef - but we still got them, they were amazing. We got a second order and a cheese burger. Such a great spot and memory.“

“Solid convient food.The eggplant was done right and i liked the coconut shrimp. Everything was good and the traditional spices were notable. Also black pepper chicken?Service was warm and welcoming, cozy inside. Larger seating area in the back with seating in the front if your eating quickly.“

“It’s just a regular Panda Express, though i would say some of my rice was a little bit dry but it didn’t bother me that much. Pretty cheap, good place to go if you’re a student like me. I paid $13 for a plate and a small drink, I could say that they could add more stuff to make the atmosphere less, plain?Staff was nice, another good thing is that this place is a lot less busy than the one in la cumbre since most people go all the way over there and forget there’s one in state but other than that, it’s just a normal Panda Express?“

“Su’s Bowl had some solid chili noodles with great flavor. However, the takeout experience wasn’t the best — the noodles were clumped together, and placing the order took longer than expected due to some communication issues. Despite that, the taste was pretty great overall.“
