Our Guestbook
“ Been coming here since in the late 90s when the restaurant was in that small corner with a big parking lot. The place is much bigger now and the foods have remained the same, if not better. Tasty. Yummy. Savory. Bec we went on a Friday, and just 2 of us, we stick to no-meat dinner. We started with mushu shrimp and got veggies and seafood meals only. Great service, Ray! You made our dinner more special. Best to come with the family and devour on our favorites: beans, crispy beef, honey walnut shrimps, kung pao, pan fried noodles, shrimp fried rice. The place is so clean. There's a bar. Has 2 function rooms. ”
“ My girlfriend and I were about to head home to the Bay Area and needed a place to have lunch. We learned about Panda Inn from a friend who LOVES Panda Express so we wanted to give it a try. Honestly, I had low expectations since my friend mentioned "Panda Express" but my overall experience greatly surpassed my expectations. We got there a few minutes after they opened so there was no wait and there were few customers. We were seated and the environment was very nice and clean. Even the bathrooms were beautiful. Considering this was our first time at Panda Inn, we wanted to order things that we could not find at Panda Express. We ordered panda rice, fish in black bean sauce, hot and sour soup, and a fortune cookie milk tea. Yelp had a check-in offer so we also got a free order of vegetable egg rolls. The food was absolutely delicious. I feel bad for having preconceived opinions of the place because the food and experience was greatly better than getting food at Panda Express. The panda rice was addicting and we could have honestly ordered more. The fish in black bean sauce was really good with good texture and not too salty. Hot and sour soup was really yummy and a must-have with your meal. The only downside from our meal was the fortune cookie milk tea. It was supposed to taste like a fortune cookie but it's not noticeable to me or my girlfriend. Our server, Carla, was very sweet and even gave us some fortune cookies to compare the tastes. Truthfully, it's not too noticeable and it tasted like a normal black milk tea. The staff here were so friendly. Carla took care of us and made sure we had everything we needed. She visited the table frequently but not to the point of it being too much. Plus she was kind and chatted with us a bit about our visit to LA. At the end of our meal, Carla was very sweet and gifted us a bag of fortune cookies to take home. Best friendly service I've had at a restaurant in a long time. I very much recommend stopping by here. By the end of the meal, I was already messaging friends and family about the positive experience we had at Panda Inn. My girlfriend and I had a 6 hour drive back home to the Bay and we kept talking about lunch at Panda Inn. We can't wait to come back and try the other dishes. Thank you Carla and Panda Inn! ”
“ We were truly amazed by how good the service was! The waiter and waitress were very friendly, and very attentive to us. They kept making sure that we had everything we needed. The food was excellent! We ordered lemon chicken and honey walnut shrimp. We were surprised they also offer sashimi! We love this restaurant and we are absolutely going to return soon! ”
“ Found out this is the brainchild restaurant for Panda Express. it did not disappoint. The food was fresh & plentiful and although busy the service was quick for lunch time. Ordered wonton soup which came with huge shrimp and veggies. Not your typical wonton soul ”
“ I love coming to this location. Delicious food always and great location. Today the service was incredible. Thanks to 'Simon" he has got to be the best server on the planet. Its very rare these days to have exceptional service. What a treat! Just hope we are always served by him in the future. ”
“ This a very quiet, clean and high-end service restaurant with quality food with affordable prices! The menu is very rich and it is not easy to get tired of the food served here. The staff is very prompt and kind and attends all customers in a timely manner! Thank you for your business here in lovely Glendale. ”
“ This is my second time at Panda Inn and it is worth the visit. Some might say it's the same as Panda Express, and let me tell you, it's not! The service, food and options as well as the portions, is worth every dollar! The Honey Walnut shrimp is amazing!! Panda Express always gives me 5-7 shrimps, but that isn't enough for me so that's how I ended up here for my first time earlier this year. Haha! OH!! The Crab Wontons... If you're not allergic, please do yourself a favor and order this delicious delicacy. Fortune cookies are a bit different too - don't forget to ask for them. ”
“ We finally came here for dinner a few weeks ago and already can't wait to go back!!! They have generous portions (the regular size portions was enough for 3 of us) and the food is top notch. Service was quick and curtious. The one dish that won us all over was the Panda Beef!! It was so good!! We couldn't get enough. Prices are a bit up there but the food is worth it. Expect to pay above 18 a plate (regular size). My favorite part was the white chocolate dipped fortune cookie that came with the check. Restaurant is clean and fancy. Definitely come here for a special occasion or date night! ”
