I'm finally reviewing Royal Panda in San Dimas. My family has come here often, especially my parents. I come often enough. Because sometimes it's really good and feels like a great restaurant value. But this place is nothing if not inconsistent and so you never know if you're going to get decent or really terrible food that gives you a bellyache. As often as I've been here since I live locally, I have never once felt that they recognized me as a returning customer and they have never been particularly friendly or even smiling. They never say hi, ask how are you, how've you been? This review is for my meal last night which was pretty terrible. My favorite dish that they make when it's good is the sweet and spicy fish, which is little battered filets in a slightly spicier sweet and sour sauce. I've been getting it the last couple of times here and it was fresh and delicious with tender lightly breaded perfectly cooked fish. Last night it was not. Last night I couldn't find the fish in the overly dried out crunchy batter. All it was was batter and I had a stomach ache after eating it. My second entree was the black bean chicken which was better. But I didn't get much of it because they filled the container so full of noodles and the fish entree. My other choices are usually black bean chicken or green bean chicken. I didn't get the green bean because it looked cold, and pushed to the side like they were about to add some fresh and hot since I was there earlier before dinner hour, eating between 4-5. I should have waited for the fresher hot green bean chicken I guess. The fish bin looked full like they had just put in some fresh. But they must have dumped the cold old stuff on top. And they felt just fine about serving it to me that way and filling my container to get rid of it. It'll be a while before I feel like giving them another try. Usually I wouldn't have known it was bad until I get it home. I always get it as take out. This time I was still Christmas shopping and running errands so I ate there in the restaurant. I heard how other people order there. They sell a lot of fried battered dishes. Orange chicken and sweet and sour pork are 2 of the most popular. Those dishes are all the same as the fish. Sometimes it's good and sometimes it's all batter which is terrible. They continued to be unfriendly even to a customer seated and eating in. Looked annoyed that I had put the hot sauce squeeze bottle on my table and took it away while I was still sitting there. (No other eat-in customers at the time.)

I've been here a few times. The tangerine chicken is good. The broccoli beef also good. The teriyaki which is thr reason I usually go to Chinese food spots is very salty. That is very disappointing. Hopefully they can taste thier food and adjust the salt.

As expected for fast Chinese food. Plus, the portion is huge.

Visited for the first time yesterday. Food was really tasty and reminded me of when I was younger and experienced the same flavors. Great value, fresh food, and lots of choices! I went back to get more for dinner so my wife could try it, too!

Plenty of food with low price. I have been going to this Chinese fast food place for almost 20 years. Even though they keep the same menu and cook the same food, but I have not seen the quality goes down, or the price going up too much. Especially in this inflation everywhere Era, I have seen many restaurants raise the price, or just give you half amount of food, this restaurant is really doing an honest business. Therefore, I think that it is a very good place for you to eat something good and fast.
