Panda Garden 2: Reviews & Ratings
One of my favorite Chinese take out restaurants in my local area, the food is great, staff is extremely kind and the prices are reasonable. We have been ordering from here since I was a child, never a disappointment. Dining in is not a preferred option at this location. This is a typical take-out bring it at home Chinese restaurant. One thing keeping this from being 5 stars for me , LOL, is the fact their Crab Rangoon's are very expensive and not deep fried to perfection. I don't believe most people realize that it's all just cream cheese filling. I don't taste even the smallest sample of crab in the Rangoon's. I have made Crab Rangoon's before at home with an equal amount of crab / filling and I have deep fried loads at home that taste way better and 10x crisper, and it's significantly cheaper. Other than that, great small town restaurant!
I've been going here since the early 2000's and the food never disappoints. My go to is always off the special menu C28 Szechuan pork, chicken fingers and pork. SO GOOD!
Food is always fresh, correct, and delicious! Friendly staff make ordering and checking out easy. They even have Mapo Tofu, which is hard to find around here!
This review has been a long time coming. We live around the corner from this place and have tried it on and off for years. While their dinners were always great we were never a fan of their fried food. It always had a taste the we thought may be old oil. I have no idea what changed this year. I don't know if the kind of oil change or if they started changing it more whatever! This place is now our go to for Chinese food. The food is always fresh ready on time and fantastic!! If you haven't tried Panda Garden 2 in awhile give it a shot. If I could have given it 10 stars I would! And we are picky on Chinese food.
The Panda Garden in Southbridge closed and I loved their food but thankfully the Panda Garden 2 is just as good . No worrys here just great Chinese food so go there and enjoy .
The building is unassuming ,but the people and food are great and the prices are reasonable and that is what really matters most, I have been eating there for at least fifteen years and usually once or twice a week and have not a single complaint.
We decided to try this restaurant after seeing the sign for years. VERY pleasantly surprised. If your looking for a visually appealing restaurant this wouldn't be the place, nor do they advertise this. A few tables to sit and eat but their main business is take away/delivery. BUT the food was REALLY good! We'll definitely return :)
