About Panda Garden

Panda Garden is a Chinese Restaurant located at 99 Stafford Rd, Ellington, CT 06029, USA. You can contact them by phone at (860) 872-7700 or +1 860-872-7700.

As a Chinese Restaurant, Panda Garden primarily offers takeout services. Based on recent online reviews, customer experiences with the food quality appear to be divided.

One customer expressed significant dissatisfaction with their recent order, describing several dishes as poor. They found the rangoons flavorless and not crispy, the chicken fingers subpar with an undesirable sweet and sour sauce (though duck sauce packets were available but strangely salty), the beef teriyaki wet and unappetizing, and the general tso's chicken inferior to typical gas station quality. This customer stated they would not return.

In contrast, another reviewer had a highly positive experience, stating that the food is the "best anywhere for Chinese" and praising the excellent prices, freshness, and lack of excessive oiliness. This reviewer, who claims to have tasted Chinese food across several states, considers Panda Garden the best they've had in Connecticut and beyond. They also noted that it is a takeout-only establishment, that prices are fantastic for the quality, and that orders are typically ready for pickup within 10 minutes after calling ahead. Pickup is now conducted inside behind a virus partition.

Given these contrasting opinions, it's challenging to form a definitive overall assessment of Panda Garden's food quality. However, it is consistently noted as a takeout-only restaurant with potentially good value for the price, according to one positive review.

No specific promotional information was mentioned in the provided reviews. To inquire about any special offers, it is recommended to contact Panda Garden directly.

Food was so bad that my wife is mad at me. Rangoons are flavorless and not particularly crispy, the chicken fingers were not up to snuff, they had the terrible red sweet and sour sauce instead of the good orange duck sauce, but they did have duck sauce packets that were strangely salty and just weird tasting. Beef teriyaki was very wet and gross, general tsos chicken was significantly less appealing than most gas station chicken. Overall would never go back, very disappointed. The most humiliating aspect of this ordeal is that everyone was very hungry so we ended up eating it anyway and just complaining the whole time

Food is the best anywhere for Chinese. Prices are excellent. Everything is fresh and not overly oily. Best tasting I've ever had in Ct, NY, Nj, Mich, Pa and Del. It is, however, takeout only. Prices are fantastic when you consider the quality. Call ahead and they are always ready for you in 10 minutes. Pickup of food is no longer outside. You can go in and behind virus partition.

Update: tried the house fried rice for the first time, highly recommend! Hot and sour soup is always excellent. The menu prices have gone up a little (about 50¢ more per entree type item) and the hours a different now too. They are only open on Tuesdays in December. Otherwise they are closed on Tuesday. Good Chinese, very friendly, very fast. The prices are reasonable and you get a good amount of food. I find it better than the other Chinese restaurant Hang's in Stafford. Be aware that there is no indoor seating. There's some picnic tables in the grass but appears to be mostly take out.

The only thing that confuses me more than how bad this food was is how many positive reviews they got. I am by no means a food critic, but this is by far the worst chinese I have ever had, no question. The crab rangoons were stale and had almost nothing in them. The chicken fried rice had three ingredients....chicken, rice and onions....they forgot the flavor(pictured). The orange chicken was just....spongy. If you do decide to go here please look at how they painted their trim in the waiting area...that is the same level of effort you will have in your food.
