“Five stars for everything for a solid Chinese lunch spot. Easily the best Chinese we have found in the Columbia and Irmo area. Sesame chicken and house fried rice was exactly what I’ve been looking for. Better than Sun Ming. Would definitely recommend.“

“It's a nice place to eat if it will more variety of food than it's perfect they have the same things that other Chinese buffet have exact same so if change few things here and there that will be good

Kid-friendliness: Somewhat

Wheelchair accessibility: Not sure“

“Great clean restaurant with phenomenal Chinese food! Since the ownership changed the food here has been excellent! Really enjoyed everything I’ve tried from them. Much better than most Chinese restaurants around this area. I’d like to mention that the customer service is great also!“

“I was craving some good pho, so my husband and I decided to come try this place out. It was very quiet, clean, and nice. The beef pho that I had was a decent size. I wish it had a little bit more spice to it. But never the less, it was amazing. Definitely have to check them out. They are behind Still Blazing smoke shop. A true hidden gem“

“Did a quick pick up for lunch. Called my order in. The food was ready by the time I got there. Staff was friendly. My only issue with this restaurant has always ever been their parking lot. It is a tight squeeze. I needed to get back to work fast but I was blocked in by a delivery truck. For a popular spot, I wish the accessibility of parking was better.“

“I'm SUPER picky about my Chinese food, and was nervous trying here for the first time, but MANNNNN it DID NOT disappoint! The best, and most flavorful mushroom fried rice I've ever had, and my husband's sweet and sour chicken was the best he's ever had! Nothing was greasy! We are extremely satisfied with the taste and portion sizes! We'll be back for sure!“

“This is the best Chinese I’ve had in the metro area of Columbia. Most Chinese restaurants have greasy entrées and fried rice and lo mein. Everything I’ve had here is good from the spring rolls to the crab Rangoon to the entrées and the gohan.“

“First time ordering from Tony’s and I can say that I was very happy !! The portion size was great. I was able to eat off of this plate for two days. Lol (I’m that person) The Crab Rangoon was good and my wings were flavored well!! Love the many different flavors to choose from. Try them out for yourself!!!“

“I’ve got nothing but good things to say about Good Day Chinese! The food is amazing, especially the wings—they’re my go-to every time, along with the egg rolls. The owners are super friendly and always treat you with respect. Honestly, I have nothing bad to say about this place or the people behind it. If you haven’t been yet, definitely stop by and give it a try!“

“Pleasant atmosphete with plenty of seating.Very courteous no matter who takes the order. Excellent variety of dishes most offer small and larger sizes. Food quality is high! Never a mistake on the order and I get two ample dinners from one small size Moo goo gai pan or broccali beef. 8 minutes from my house doesn't hurt.“

“I ordered over the phone. Took about 10 min for them to prepare my food (I wasn’t far) walked in the restaurant was clean. I ordered orange chicken and fried rice. When I got my food it was very fresh. The chicken was hot and steaming so was the rice. It also had a very good taste. Very impressed. I’ve been to a lot of Chinese food spots and they always miss on quality and flavor. This deserves 5 stars. Everything was fresh and hot.“

“Been getting my Chinese food from here since I moved to the NE side of town. The lady who picks up the phone is always so nice and pleasant, the food is honestly always good! Never have I ever gotten cold or nasty food! Definitely would recommend 10/10. Them wings are GOODT!“

“This restaurant gives u the most food for lowest price
The quality of food is supreme the honey wings and sasmee seeded chicken is top of line stuff
I rate them best Chinese in south Carolina and in the top 20 restaurants of columbia
I eat out 7x a week so I should know“

“My first time was the lunch specials (recommended by a friend). Fantastic.

Tonight I got dinner takeout.
Egg rolls
Wanton Egg drop soup
Roast pork lo mein
Coconut shrimp

It was all fantastic. I will be eating their food again soon.

Tip: Call in your order. Doordash prices are about $2 more per item.“

“The crab rangoons, egg rolls and wings were fantastic. The main meals were small compared to what I’m used to for the price but they did have a lot of meat and not all full with noodles and rice as fillers. Would eat again but probably not the main meals. They’re expensive for what you get.“

“Great food. Very good price. Great portions. I have been eating there for at least 12 years. The staff is super nice and try to get your food air as quick as possible ��“

“Great food but that night service was terrible! not the same staff that normally is the . Girl had attitude arguing with the lady beside me.“

“I've been going to Jin's for almost 10 years and I can say that the food is always good. It's inexpensive, and you can get a plate for around $10-12. I love their egg fried rice. I always recommend this place whenever me and my friends are looking for someplace to eat.“

“delicious food and they give a gargantuan amount of sauce which in my opinion is pretty awesome. the only reason this establishment is not getting five stars from me is because they put my noodies in a strange to go box. the first time i opened it i was baffled to find a large knotted cube in a small styrofoam container. still very delicious but makes it super messy in my fridge and counter and stovetop. best place in the area i would have to say after getting extreme food poisoning from all the other local spots.“

“The food here is amazing!!!! Highly recommend Pepper Steak, House hibachi Lo Mein and House hibachi fried rice. Portions are huge. Come from out of town to order here. Only reason service is a 3 is because the young boy taking orders can be a bit rude and impatient. 🙄“

“Kind of tried this place randomly when I first moved to Columbia last year, and it's pretty much the only place I want chinese food from. This place is amazing! They've never given me a wrong order, and the hospitality is a 10/10.“

“I went to Panda tonight and overall the experience was positive. There was a good selection of entrees and plenty of each. Some changes had been made since my last visit probably due to pandemic precautions but nothing I couldn’t live with. Of particular note was the great attitude and politeness of the staff. An employee said, “welcome to Panda!”, a first at this location. The employee who fixed my plate was cheerful and willing to fix it to my liking. I don’t usually write reviews, I read some of the reviews for this location and could identify with most of them. However, things have changed for the better and I hope it lasts.“

“Definitely a hidden gem the best in Columbia and the chicken is omg good asf man I almost give up on Chinese food because others changed the rice to yellow rice this Chinese restaurant right here is definitely a must try everything is still original.Thank me later“

“In my opinion this is the best Chinese food in this area. Inexpensive, timely, cooked to order, generous portions, and the fried or steamed dumplings are excellent. The prices are fare also. The location is set up more for take out but has some table's for dine in.“

“Always love their boneless chicken and egg rolls! Wait time isn't that long either.“

“The food was excellent. It was my first time eating here. Ordered the House Lomein. It had shrimp, streak, and chicken in it. The portions were outstanding. House Lomein, Fried scallops( a good bit) and 2 egg rolls cost me 27.00. Worth the price“

“Came in Sunday night for a large family meal and the staff was very helpful and patient as we tried to figure out which items we wanted to meet everyone’s requests. Everything tasted fantastic and was cooked well. Looking forward to eating there again.“

“The food is shockingly amazing, especially when you consider the price. One of the best bargains around. The staff is friendly, variety of dishes. Fast. The same food at a traditional sit down restaurant would cost triple. Love this place. Kids love it too.“

“One of Best spots in Columbia. Great service and food.“

“AMAZING SERVICE I ordered online and made a mistake and the online system up charged me. Completely on me! They cleared it up for me at the counter when I showed up and they previously called me before I got there to make sure I ordered correctly. They gave me the money back, a ten dollar bill for the up charge . Very honest and amazing food ! ❤️❤️every time I come here the food is great and the service is great. Definitely recommend! Left it as a tip for their honesty and concern for when they called me to make sure.“

“The only place I go for the best Chinese food once you go you can't stop. Delicious food all the time

Vegetarian options: Just tell them what veggies you want in your meal and they will honor your suggestion

Parking: If you can't park out front, you can park in Food Lion parking lot too“

“Completed an order over the phone. The guy who took my order asked me about my wing flavor. I provided 2. Honey mustard & light lemon pepper. When I came to pick up my order, I fixed my favorite peach drink. The Ice cub section had splashes of other beverages in the inner filter. I noticed once my food was prepared that instead of half & half flavors, they were combined on the whole 10ps wing meal. When I asked the guy about it, he stated I didn't state I wanted half & half when he asked about my flavors. This was the first for me. I only assumed that 2 flavors meant 5 wings, one flavor, the other 5 wings, the other flavor. I will say the food was fresh hot, and actually, the blend was very complementing, I just wished I had a little more honey mustard sauce and a little more of the lemon pepper seasoning to cover all the wings. I was not provided my ranch sauce, which i had asked for over the phone, and I was only given 1 celery stick cut in half. Overall, the meal was delicious. They could be a bit more generous with the celery. My peach drink was delicious. It could have been a bit more sweeter, though.“

“love their food they know me by NAME!!!!!“

“If you've been here before you'll probably challenge me on the 5 ⭐'s for atmosphere. But anyway I ordered the lunch special of shrimp and broccoli for $10. You get a large serving of meat and veggies and rice. Not bad for the price and it's always flavorful and delicious.“

“the owner is very nice. Their food is absolutely delicious and always fresh. they give large quantities at a good price. I would highly recommend that you try this place there five cut wings and shrimp fried rice with sweet tea is absolutely the best.“

“Called in a to-go order, and they said it would be 15 minutes . I got there in that time frame, and the food was ready. The fried rice was the best I've had in a while. I also got the fried calamari, which, in my opinion, was not so great. It was too greasy for me and did not like the texture of it. They do give you a lot, though. I would go back it's worth a try.“

“Food was delicious. Customer service was outstanding. Our order was taken with no problem. It was available with exceptional speed of service. They also allowed me to purchase an extra order made by a disgruntled customer that he ordered and did not want. Thanks!!!“
