Paid $10 for bbq spare ribs; I received 4 very small pieces of rib that looked chopped in half. If I put them together it looks like 2 ribs, besides being overcooked. Never again
Honest Reviews
This had been hands down my favorite Chinese food in the Knoxville area for close to 20 years. It's been a while since I was here last and it's not the same. All meals used to be served with pork fried rice, now just plain fried rice. Portions were enough to either last for several meals or to split a meal with another person but now it's just enough for 1 person to make 1 meal. All meals used to be served with a pork eggroll but now that's an add on if you request it. The cost for a single meal has now doubled from just a few years ago. Paying more for less is the standard with nearly all business now.
My overall review, the food is fair but it's lacking the extra level of care that was once seen here. It's worth a visit from time to time but I won't be making any special trips here any time soon.

I stopped here with my husband and Mother-in-law and wow. The food was amazing and we all have enough from a combo meal each to all eat another two or three times!!! Even my mother-in-law gave samples of her orange chicken and bragged on how delicious it was. My husband got the Bourbon Chicken and I got my all time favorite Moo Goo Gai Pan. The egg rolls are double size!!! We are so pleasantly stuffed and smiling ear to ear. We all 3 recommend Panda Garden to everyone who wants delicious Chinese food. So thankful to have been led there by Google. Definitely going there when we go thru Knoxville needing to stop and get some good food.

I tried it for the first time and I don't think I'll go there again. Not a fan of the taste and the chicken had chewy hard pieces. Everything was super sweet and the rice had a strange texture. Just not for me.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t very good. Crab Ragoon was rubbery, shrimp in lobster sauce was inedible, and spring roll was o.k. I was really hoping it was going to be good since I’ve been unable to find a really good Chinese restaurant on this side of town.

The food was swimming in sauce, almost like a soup. Just very bad food, we threw away. Service and atmosphere are fine.

This is one of the best Chinese restaurants in Knoxville. The General Tso Chicken and Crab Rangoon are definitely recommended. Generous portioned and affordable menu all around.

I ordered delivery and it was done quickly. The shrimp with vegetables had a brown sauce and there was way too much of it. The general tsao was decent and crispy...dark meat so keep that in mind. The fried rice wasn't typical to authentic Chinese but it was fine. Overall a decent place but not the best. Lunch specials are a good deal.
Ordered through DoorDash. They sent the wrong food. Sent shrimp in a soupy mess. When we called them about it they refused to do anything to fix it. Food was uneatable.

Went here a little while ago because i was in the area, food was very bland and didnt seem fresh. However, it was the cheapest Chinese food I've seen in the knoxville area. We're talking I went at lunch and are for less than $10. So do with that information what you will lol.

A simply decorated but cozy dining area. You have to order from the counter area and they call out your dish when it's ready. The price for my chicken and vegetable lunch was only $8.50 and it was a generous portion. I will go back again to try more dishes.
