Chinese Restaurants near Santee

“the waitress was very nice and the food was good 👍 😋 👌“

“First off, we LOVE the lady behind the counter. If you don't like her, you don't appreciate the hustle. And furthermore, the food is delicious.“

“We've ordered from this restaurant through DoorDash three times now (most recently on 6/21). We really enjoy the Vegetable Lo Mein and the Salt & Pepper Tofu, they've both been delicious every time.

The only issue we've had is with the rice. Each time we've ordered, the rice hasn't been included, even though the DoorDash menu and item description state that the meal is served with rice. After the first two orders, I reported the missing rice through DoorDash.

Today, before placing our third order, I called the restaurant directly to make sure the rice would be included. I was told that rice does not come with the meal and is an additional $2.50. I tried explaining that the DoorDash menu says it's served with rice, so the menu description should probably be updated if that's no longer the case. Unfortunately, there seemed to be a communication barrier, and I was simply told again that rice costs $2.50.

I couldn't find an email address to contact the restaurant directly, so I'm leaving this review in hopes that someone will update the DoorDash menu to match what is actually served. I also noticed the restaurant's online ordering website lists a side of steamed rice for $4.99, while I was quoted $2.50 over the phone, so there seems to be some inconsistency there as well.

The food is good, and this review isn't about the quality, it's simply to help correct what appears to be a menu error so future customers know what to expect.“

“Panda has gotten extremely expensive for food that was once inexpensive and a great value. Preparations are basic and well prepared and you do get a lot of food for the prices. A four item combo is 12$+ but enough for two meals.Staff was friendly and courteous and the restroom was very clean. Overall a recommendation.“

“So today my family wanted pick up stix and I didn't want to get pickup stix due to the odd interaction I had last time I went in. I have been going to this location for years and have never had any issue besides the last visit. There is a cashier that is an older gentleman who refuses to give extra sauce and will literally go back and forth over a couple sauce packets. I am buying for 3 people and the 2 siracha that he said is already in the bag is not enough. I decided oh well it probably will not be a thing today, but unfortunately the same guy today did it again. I asked him what the issue was and he stated that the sauce is in the bag already. I asked do I need to pay for extra sauce and if so I will, he stated no I don't need to then finally agreed to give me sauce. I have never ran into this situation ever at any restraunt where when I am paying for the meal I have to argue and ask several times for a couple extra packets of sauce. It's wild and unprofessional to think you need to argue with a customer over 4 siracha packets.“

“The salads are great, salmon is yummy❣🚀👍👍“

“I want to start off by saying that the service alone should be the reason why you come here. I am always greeted with so much joy and happiness. The owners and their daughter are running this place beautifully.

Now the food!! I have tried the chicken wings, chicken and broccoli, beef lo mein, veggie fried rice and plenty more… every single time they execute each meal wonderfully, so much that I don’t even consider any other restaurant in the area. I highly recommend this place, When you are looking for some comfort food and great hospitality This is the place to go“

“The Chinese food was good!“

“This was my first time visiting with my best friend. Since we were both craving dumplings, we decided to give this place a try.

When we arrived, we were warmly greeted and invited to sit at any available table. Ordering was simple through a QR code at the table.
We ordered the Orange Flavored Chicken, Cucumber Salad, Xiao Long Bao (8), and Crab Meat & Pork Xiao Long Bao (8). I also ordered the Mongolian Beef to go.

The Orange Flavored Chicken was crispy and flavorful without being overly sweet, making it a great way to start the meal. The Cucumber Salad was light, refreshing, and finished with a pleasant aromatic flavor. For the main dishes, the Xiao Long Bao had a rich, savory broth that paired perfectly with vinegar. The Crab Meat & Pork Xiao Long Bao was especially satisfying and filling but a little dry. The Mongolian Beef is spicy and savory. It goes well with rice.

Although the restaurant is small, it feels comfortable and welcoming. During our visit, the atmosphere was quiet and relaxing, which made for an enjoyable dining experience. Overall, we had a great first visit and would happily return.“

“The food is great ! ordered the chicken with ginger along with rice. My girl friend ordered the pork with hot pepers. Food was served very hot and delivered within 10 minutes. What really impressed me is how tasty the food was. The portions of food were large.“
