Their crab noodle smells bad and gross. My friend and I didn’t have any of it because it was stinky. Their dumplings and buns are not recommended. They are not as good as frozen dumplings in my fridge. Don’t go this place!

Good Pan Fried Bao and Shanghai Noodles. Bao had a thinner skin and on slightly sweet flavor which is a good complement to the pork filling. Shanghai Noodles had the smoky wok flavor with combo of salty from soy sauce and sweet. The Pork dumplings were good but not spectacular. The Meatball was big but just like eating chicken broth with a mushy meatball. Price was reasonable for the portion and actual size of the dumplings.

This Panda Express gets straight to the point, but I would recommend avoiding overcooking certain dishes. As someone with a deep appreciation for Chinese cuisine, I believe its essence lies in simplicity—quick, precise cooking that preserves crispiness and texture. Overcooking changes the dish entirely, losing the distinctive qualities of authentic Chinese food. It’s all about fast frying and maintaining the right balance of flavors and textures. There’s no need to simmer or let ingredients sit too long, as that can lead to an overly Americanized version of the cuisine. Overall, as a neighborhood spot, this Panda Express is quite decent, but a little more attention to these details could make it even better.

Nice and clean restaurant. Limited and fixed menu. Would like to see more spicier options. My favorite black pepper chicken is not available at this location. I always see a couple of items empty, and they ask us to wait for 8 minutes to prepare.

One of my favorite things about Koi Palace Contempo is that they serve dim sum later in the day! Very few places do that. We ordered Har Gow, Chicken Feet, Sesame Balls, Shanghai XLB, Crab Claws, Chicken Shui Mai, Poached Gailan, BBQ Pork Rice Crepe, and the Pineapple Bun. It looked like we hardly put a dent in the menu too, lots of good items, with some decent vegetarian options as well. All of it was excellent and I would recommend these items to my friends. The staff were friendly and welcoming and quick too! I was not expecting that. Henry was our server and he packaged up some of our left overs for us and gave us a complimentary pudding dessert. The atmosphere was calm and well lit. Lots of space! They also have WiFi. I can say for sure that we will be coming back.

The fish here is incredibly fresh, with tender and juicy meat, absolutely delicious! The chicken feet are well-seasoned, soft, and full of flavor. The beef is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, cooked to perfection. The service is also very attentive. Overall, a great experience, and I will definitely come back next time!

Food: 5/5 Service: 2/5 The bbq grill there is awesome. You can basically order any types of skewers and you won't go wrong with your choices. It's a little bit pricey, for example, $2.5 for a small beef skewer. The warning is that 1) the restaurant is small so it filled up pretty quickly. 2) the skewers come out super slow. Beef and lamb skewers are quick but we waited 1 hr+ since we placed the order for the quail, tofu skin, etc. Even the appetizer took 45 min to be ready (!?). The fried pork tender (锅包肉) never came since we have to leave after spending 90 minutes at the restaurant, by that time, the fried pork tender was still not ready. I was shocked at how bad they managed the order preparation process as the wait time for the food is insane. It's definitely a waste of the chef's talent and ingredients if they can't find a way to improve the management.

Good prices, good food. I personally recommend the lamb, beef (!!!), chicken skin, bacon wrapped mushrooms, intestines, and chicken gizzard if you aren't afraid of that. For their dishes, I love the sweet fried pork. It's so good when fresh, hot, and crispy. The service can get quite slow because they have so many takeout orders but I just love the beef skewers and sweet fried pork here.

First time visiting this Panda Express location. It has the typical Panda Express food. However, I won't return here as they filled the plate with noodle and rice while the serving portion of the main items (much) smaller than other locations. It was about 1/2 to 2/3 full of their measuring scoop where some other locations would be 2x of that overflowing the scoop. Either the apparent increase in price from inflation and other factors was insufficient, or the mode of operation is not conducive to the cultural characteristics of Chinese food - good food, ample portion, and value!

Super nice & friendly staff members. I like that this Panda Express actually has bamboo & the feel of more “panda vibes.” Quick service even when there have been long lines. Great go-spot and they’re always making the next batch in time so you’re not waiting for 5-8m for your plate to be ready.
