I wanted to try Panda Inn because I figured it's the "original" Panda that started all the Panda Express. I did like the food and everything, but it just feels a little pricey than some other Chinese restaurant in SGV. The food is decently good. We ordered honey walnut shrimp, hot and sour soup, and of course orange chicken. I prefer the honey walnut shrimp over the orange chicken, I think it was a little too salty for me, but the honey walnut shrimp was pretty standard and flavorful. The hot and sour soup is pretty mild for me. Another highlight for me is their fortune cookies. They're so cute 😍
The service was exceptionally friendly and attentive. The food came out quick and super delicious. The drinks were made perfectly. Beautiful atmosphere.
My favorite Chinese restaurant in Pasadena. It’s more of a formal sit down style restaurant with excellent decor and white cloth tables. I love their calamari and it was the best but they stopped serving it. Hoping they bring it back, but I highly recommend the phoenix chicken, chicken corn soup & the fish with black bean sauce. It’s Chinese food done at a high level and customer service has always been on point. I highly recommend this spot.
Their sunday brunch is among very best in LA. $35 comes with cocktail or mimosa plus a lot different variety of food and all the major Panda Inn (Panda Express) dish for the price is a very good value. Service were very good and is something many Chinese restaurants in the area still lack and need to learn. This restaurant does well about every area just lack dome authentic Chinese dish in the brunch but overall is a solid 5 stars.
Panda Inn (not express) has always been one of best places to eat. Orange Flavored Chicken ,Honey walnut shrimp, and Kung Pao chicken are good entrees
Authentic Chinese taste. Not like Panda express.Has it's own unique taste. The honey walnut shrimp 🦐is the main attraction. 🥢
Great Food & Experience We finally made it to the original Panda Inn. The decor inside it very nice with Chinese artifacts on display. The tables were clean. You could say this is Americanized Mandarin and Sichuan cuisine at its best. The food was very tasty. What is neat about this place is that they have three different sizes of a dish: small, regular and family. We tried the vegetable fried rice, sweet and sour pork, kon pao chicken and string beans. In order to try several dishes and not end up with too much food to take home, we went with the small sized dishes. The vegetable fried rice was clean, non-greasy and lots of veggies. The kon pao chicken was also great. The service was good, not great. The staff was friendly and courteous. No chop sticks given unless you ask for them which we found to be odd in a Chinese restaurant. Plenty of parking in the private lot. No wait on a Sunday evening. We will definitely go back to try other dishes.
Great place for a family meal or a couple. Big portions so expect to take food home. Great service and make sure to save room for the white chocolate fortune cookies.
