Panda's Restaurant and Bar

When I used to live in Dallas, I used to eat at Panda's all the time. The food was great. I came into town this week (12/07/09) for a business trip and was staying close to Panda's. I ordered from Panda's two nights in a row. Both times the "hot & spicy" dishes tasted sweet, even though I asked them to make them EXTRA spicy. The second night Panda's charged me 25 cents for one pair of chopstick and 50 cents for extra chili oil. They did not do that the first night. Both nights my order was over $20. I didn't care about the charge for the sauce, but for CHOPTSTICKS! You are a CHINESE restaurant!!!! It would be like the Blackeyed Pea charging for forks and spoons. Come on! Nonetheless, the food quality had definitely gone downhill. Won't be eating at Panda's ever AGAIN!

Pros: They Deliver

Cons: Everything

Pros: Open Late

Cons: FoodPoisoning Alert

OMG, no one should eat here. I ordered food for delivery & paid for the food with my credit card. Well when the delivery guy came I signed for my card & put 0 in for the tip because I was going to give him a cash tip. When I handed him the receipt and was trying to tell him to hold on a minute while I got the cash he instantly started cursing me out. " oh you not leave tip?" "next time I bring you bad food" and the real kicker was when I opened my mouth to explain to him how he had just ruined any chance of getting a tip now before I could say a word he yelled out "Fu* k you b!tc%" all of this at 2am in my quiet apartment complex. When I called to report the incident the owner merely stated "well, did you get your food?" then he said well when he gets here I'll talk to him" there was no apology or anything. Not to mention that someone who delivers food with that kind of attitude simply.... shouldn't... and with the owner knowing the full situation yet still allowing that guy to deliver must encourage them doing nasty stuff to people's food when they get mad. So there's no telling how many plates they have put insects in, coughed mucus in etc. I just wouldn't recommed it. It's not safe.

Pros: that one funny waitress and her mom, cute as can be...

Cons: Everything else $uck$

I call ed over 30 times no one would answer at all... there were a few times the lines were busy n i would cal back and the line rang but no one would answer... By the way i called all three lines on there menu and no answer... I never had a problem with pandas until now... That is a very unproffesional restaurant or just lazy employees that dont want to pic up a phone and take an order

I like eating this food: yes, I have heard the worst things about this place but still love eating what i am served..

BooHoo I have had tough chicken and bad service a couple times out of countless orders. I have also had great food and delightful service.

At four o'clock in the morning what server wants to deal with a drunk ass*d mother fuc*er. I love eating here or getting to go. I love Chan. This is not my absolute favorite Chinese food but when I do want it, I love that it is there to be good enough.

I give it great stars for what it is. it is a great chinese place for a bunch of drunks, maybe not consistent,. but good for what it is.
.
if it is as bad as these hateful drunks make it out to be then why the hell have they been there for twenty years. It is a solid restaurant, with solid standards for its own solid excellence.

Pros: great wonderful food for drunks,

Cons: that the servers have to deal with your drunk asses. sometimes the food is inconsistant .

i just ordered from panda's...what a mistake. should have read some other reviews but ordering. the food is barely edible -- noodles taste very strange and the beef is either all cartilage or junk meat, or severely overcooked. now, perhaps it's the kind of thing where people in dallas will go to this place because they don't have too many other alternatives, but wow, panda's is really, really bad. i will caveat this by saying that i am chinese american and was born and raised in new york, so i had the good fortune of having excellent chinese food all the time...but even if i lower my standards to that of a homeless person, i'd say this restaurant deserves two stars at best. avoid this food at all costs, unless you were thinking of serving it to the worst of your enemies (but even then, that might be considered cruel and unusual punishment).

Spare yourself! Do not order food from this establishment! Tonight I experienced the worst chinese food, nay, the worst FOOD I've ever had in my life. The chicken was nothing but burned cartiledge and fat, and it wasn't inexpensive either. Disregard the 8.9 ranking.

Terrible!

Pros: none

Cons: price, quality, service

I only tried it for take out, but I've become a regular. good food, decent prices, friendly people. Haven't tried as many take out places, but I can't complain about this one.

Orange chicken was great
