“A Journey Back to Panda: The Hidden Gem (right before my eyes)

Our normal takeout spot was unexpectedly closed. We were hungry. We were spiraling.

There are moments in life when the universe conspires to remind you that greatness doesn’t announce itself with gilded menus or sommeliers in bow ties. Sometimes it whispers from a small takeout counter in New Kensington , where it has been whispering for thirty plus years.

I stood there, right before my very eyes, watching steam rise from those containers like incense from a temple. And in that moment, decades collapsed. I was transported back to the 90’s—a hazy, beautiful memory of my younger self clutching a paper bag from Panda, not yet knowing I was holding something extraordinary. But time has a way of validating what we once took for granted.

Fast forward to now. The order arrives. I open the General Tso’s chicken, and I am struck motionless. This isn’t just food—it’s an aria. Each piece: impossibly juicy, fork-tender, draped in a sauce that somehow manages to be both savory and subtle, bold yet restrained. It’s the kind of balance that five-starred kitchens chase and rarely capture. I’ve eaten at renowned Chinese restaurants where celebrity chefs command three-hour waits. I’ve tasted the handiwork of masters in San Francisco’s Chinatown, New York’s Flushing, even Vancouver’s Richmond. And right here, right before my eyes, in this unassuming New Ken takeout, I found something better. The portion? Gargantuan. The value? Almost embarrassing in its generosity.

Then came the chicken lo mein—a mountain of perfectly cooked noodles tangled with vegetables and tender chicken, each strand glistening with that ineffable wok breath that separates the pretenders from the masters. It was huge. The lo mein is the only item that I would offer a mild suggestion: it needed slightly more liquid smoke flavor and the addition of green onions. Portion size means nothing without soul. Add those two ingredients and you give it soul.

And the Hot & Spicy chicken—oh, the restraint! The sauce was light, almost humble, allowing the vegetables to maintain their integrity, letting the chicken speak for itself. No drowning in cornstarch slurry, no aggressive assault of heat masking mediocrity. Just perfect clarity of flavor, right there before my eyes.

For three (maybe four) decades, Panda has been doing this. Quietly. Humbly. While the food world chased trends and accolades, and buffets while “authentic” became a marketing buzzword, Panda simply kept being magnificent. It stood there, a landmark, waiting for those wise enough to notice. Now I notice.

I notice.

I have seen the light, and it glows from a takeout container in New Ken. This is not hyperbole. This is testimony. Panda doesn’t just serve Chinese food—it serves a masterclass in what happens when skill, consistency, and care simmer together for almost forty years.

Just wow. Simply, unforgettably, wow.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​“

“Awesome sushi!! Never disappoints!“

“Came in for takeout and there was no one inside eating . Lady at the counter was really nice and my food maybe took 15 minutes got a lunch special and it only cost a little bit over $10. Not bad for the amount of food I got. Said it was supposed to be spicy and it wasn't to me, but still was good :)“

“Very nice.
Most food had a greasy, oily consistency to it. The sticky white rice, for example, was not dry and sticky. It seemed like it had oil. And the lo mein noodles were good, just oily.
It's not terrible, I just wish it didn't have that consistency. Kids liked it.“

“Very delicious, not a lot of places like this in my area.“

“We love the taste and freshness of their food. Their wonton soup has the right blend of saltiness and spice. The shrimp cashew has nice big, flavorful shrimp and fresh veggies. You sometimes have to be specific and tell them exactly what you like and they will oblige. My only criticism is that their egg rolls have a funny taste, like they add ginger (which I don't care for). Other than that, this restaurant knows how to cook your favorite Chinese meals.“

“been getting take-out here for 10+ years, one of the most consistent, tasty, & affordable places in the local area. loooove the egg rolls, my 2yo son loves the rangoons & you get a bunch of rangoons with the order more than I see at any other place“

“Taipei is by far the best sushi and Chinese restaurant in the Fox Chapel area. The servers are courteous and the specialty sushi rolls are noticeabley larger and tastier than Jimmy Wan's. In my opinion, Taipei also offers a better selection than Jimmy Wan's. We also appreciate Taipei's complimentary fried wontons served before each meal and orange slices provided at the end of service. This family-friendly restaurant always make us feel at home.“

“Jimmy Wan's Foxchapel is one of the standout restaurants in all of Pittsburgh. Amazing food, excellent drinks, great staff, and wonderful ambiance and lighting. I recommend to everyone.“

“Best Chinese food around! They hit a home run with every order! From the crab ragoons to the General Tso's Shrimp & Shrimp Pad Thai... everything was served hot & delicious. Will definitely be back again!! Really friendly service and reasonably priced, too!!“

“Best in da Burgh! Been going here since I was a kid and it never disappoint. The people making the food are the best! They are really friendly, hard working, and produce a quality meal every time! God bless America, God bless Verona, and GOD BLESS DRAGON CHINESE!!!!!“

“Hot & sour soup. (Rainy day? Easy fix)
Pork lo mein!! (Do it)
Sauteed string beans (vegetarians take note)
Steamed rice please.
No. 5 spicy!!!
Lunch special, yes
A working class delight!“

“Very good food! I got the Hunan Delight, my husband got Royal Family, and my son got Crispy Honey Shrimp. Everything was fresh, hot, and quickly served. Lots of big pieces of tasty vegetables, and served with white rice. The waitresses were very pleasant and the price was right. We'll be back again!“

“Cannot speak for the service or atmosphere since I always DoorDash but this is truly the best Chinese food in Pittsburgh and possibly even in the area. Affordable and delicious.

Best sushi I’ve had in Pittsburgh that wasn’t overpriced

Best sweet and sour chicken

Just all around great.“

“Decent price for a meal. Food was mostly fresh but I doubt the hot food was at proper holding temperature. No issues with the refrigerated food. Staff was attentive with the plates. Some food looked really old and gross so we bypassed those items.“
