Ew!

I agree with other reviewers saying the quality and taste of Panda Garden's food have changed for the worst since new management took over this past year.

As former regulars, my boyfriend and I had many favorites, which have all been ruined now. The steamed vegetable dumplings look and taste completely different; the cashew chicken has a different sauce, which is too watery, and low grade chicken which is full of stringy rubbery -- what is that, tendon?; the sesame chicken does not taste as good; the sweet and sour chicken is all breading and no chicken. Even the sweet and sour sauce has a different, more watery consistency; the fried rice is now almost completely devoid of any ingredients besides rice and grease.

Tonight I ordered take-out from there (forgetting it was not the same old P.G.!) which was entirely too greasy. All of it. I took a crab puff out of the box upside down and it literally poured grease down my arm and onto my pants forever staining them. Thank goodness it wasn't still hot!

I want old Panda Garden back. You could always trust the food was going to be delicious and the prices reasonable.

Great Restaurant!

Panda is a great restaurant at a great price. The food is very good-- American style Chinese food, but they do thier dishes very well. The best part is the service, which is why we go back constantly. The service quality is the level of the most expensive restaurants in town, so you get a great restaurant experience at a really good price. You will never see the bottom of your iced tea glass! Moo shu is great here, so are the steamed dumpings. Also, very easy for groups!

• Pros: Service, Meal Specials
• Cons: No Liquor
