Flew in from Las Vegas for the day with my son for an appointment next door, and we decided to have lunch here. We ordered a few appetizers (Hot & Sour Spup, Edamame, Mu Shu, Mussels, Letruce Wraps, Lobster & Shrimp Won Ton) to share, and my son had the Panda Inn Special. The service was amazing — very attentive and friendly. The food was great and perfect for sharing. A bit on the salty side for my taste, but my son absolutely loved it. Some of my photos may show the dishes after we had already started eating! We sat outside and enjoyed the beautiful weather — the patio area was lovely. Overall, a very nice restaurant and a great dining experience. I would definitely recommend this place if you’re looking for some good Asian cuisine.

It was our first time dining at Panda Inn tonight, and we had an absolutely incredible experience. I couldn’t wait to write this review! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the gorgeous space, the elegant exterior, the warm lighting, and our beautiful marble-top table, which set the tone for such a special evening.
Our server, Alexis, was wonderful, charismatic, knowledgeable, and attentive. She guided us through the menu with great, spot-on, and delicious recommendations.
Another highlight was the cocktails. We had the pleasure of meeting Helena, the talented bartender, whose drinks were perfectly balanced and beautifully presented.
We enjoyed every dish: the oysters with yuzu foam, crispy crab wontons, hot and sour soup, panda beef, and the spicy eggplant, all bursting with flavor and plated with care.
For our first visit, Panda Inn completely exceeded expectations. Everything was flawless, from the food and cocktails to the warm, professional service. We’ll definitely be back!

A renewed pasadena classic. I hadn’t been in ages. It was good then, but great now. The atmosphere is as good as the food. Most large restaurant spaces this style are noisy and crowded. This has been perfectly designed so that it feels comfortable and inviting. The service is spot on with such attentive staff. The family that brought us Panda Express really honor their commitment to quality food and tradition. I’ll be coming back more often.

Was looking forward to trying this place but left disappointed. For the price tag I was not impressed. The walnut shrimp was good but everything else was just ok and portions weren’t very large for family style. Food took a very long time to get to the table a good 35 mins and it took quite awhile just to get water and a cocktail we ordered. Barely came to refill waters not until wait staff was chased down and it wasn’t even that busy at the time. After the good amount of time for our food 2 dishes took an additional 20 mins to arrive and no apologies were given or compassion from waiter just oh yes I will check. For an almost $300 price tag for 1 cocktail and some lemonades and about eight dishes not super fancy ones except the shrimp I expect amazing service not having to chase down a water refill, okay chinese food and meh waitstaff. The atmosphere is very nice but the service doesn’t rise to the level of the price tag. I honestly have received better care at panda express

Great option in the area. Love the upside down noodles, Mongolian beef and the sweet and pungent chicken
Beautiful restaurant with good food and the most amazing service! Bin was our server and gave me the princess treatment on my birthday! 10/10 drinks made at the beautiful bar inside. I had the lychee martini and yuzu drop martini. Delicious and unique drinks! Must try!

Had a good time with friends. Food was good. We celebrated a friend's birthday. Got a little push back from the manager when I wouldn't let them take my credit card out of my sight. I will go back again.

The only thing this restaurant has going on is atmosphere. The beef in the beef and broccoli has absolutely no taste at all. The orange chicken is generic, nothing special. Staff is rude and nasty to people they feel don't belong there. Never giving this place anymore money. They need to close, a waste of space in Pasadena.

Beautiful interior and the service was good, but the food was a bit of a let down. Very common
