Quite possibly the worst Chinese food I have ever had. The General Tso chicken tasted like they used sugar-it’s supposed to be a spicy dish- way too sweet. The Crab Ragoon was also sweet which was weird. The fried rice had the nastiest tasting pork in it. Completely uneatable. I was really hoping for good food cuz there just isn’t a local Chinese place around in the Boone county area. The cashier was super nice though .

I love this place. Best authentic Chinese food within a decent travel distance so far. Finding good Chinese food here has been such a task for me when I first moved north. This place is still my go to

It's a rarity to find good Chinese food in the area, and Panda doesn't disappoint. Most Chinese places, if you have leftovers, heating it up the next day is horrible, especially the rice. With Panda, you can tell they have quality food. Their portion sizes, especially with meat, in comparison to price is on the higher end for me, but the quality and does compensate depending on what you get. I love their thin rice noodle dishes. I would just plan to spend a little extra. I haven't had bad service here, but no one is exceptionally friendly either. Inside is always clean, but the dining area is small. Then again, I am sure the location doesn't allow for that much traffic for dine-in orders. I wish they had a delivery option.
