I have ordered take out from Panda Express quite a few times already, but I have never had the chance to take photos of the food and write the review. Not this time! Usually we just dig into the food as soon as it gets here because it is so delicious, but this time I had the chance to take some photos (which everyone can see in this review) and write everything here for everyone to see and read. I always order Panda Express through doordash - it's just more convenient in my case. I always order the family pack, which includes 3 large entrees (of your choice) and 2 large sides - also of your choice, which from my experience is reasonably priced and completely worth the price. Now, here's what everyone really needs to know about Panda Express; their food is just absolutely delicious! I strongly recommend the Kung pao chicken (if you're not allergic to peanuts in any kind of way), I honestly can't completely describe the taste because I don't know what kind of seasonings or spices are used to make it, but I can completely and honestly say that their Kung pao chicken is the best I have ever had. It is profoundly tasty and just the right amount of spicy. Their Orange chicken, Sweet Fire Chicken Breast, Black Pepper chicken, Mushroom chicken, and Grilled Teriyaki chicken, among others on the menu are all exquisitely tasty/delicious! In my opinion the food from Panda Express is the most precise and authentic tasting Chinese food that I have had the pleasure of eating. The fried rice they make is perfectly cooked, not overly done and not undercooked - it's perfect, exactly like the vegetables they use as well. Everything is always delivered rather quickly and still hot (not just warm), fresh off the wok - or whatever they use to cook! I absolutely, without a doubt, recommend that anyone/everyone who is looking for some exquisite, abundantly flavor full, Chinese food - give Panda Express a try. I personally guarantee that you will not be disappointed!

Food flavor is great but the quantity of entreé added to a normal bowl is really low. For 11USD it is better to eat somewhere else. Here you can see how much orange chicken my bowl had…

Absolutely the best Chinese buffet open in the valley. They offer a salad bar, sushi bar, Mongolian grill, and of course the buffet rows. You have a little bit of everything, Chinese, American, Mexican…etc to comfort foods and maybe outside of comfort foods to try. Some items can be hit or miss, but for the majority of the buffet the quality is superb. Staff is always friendly and attentive. This is my second time going this week. We went before closing and it was so nice of them to let us grab a bite after a long day. 10/10 would recommend.

Our first time here. You pay at entry. They had a big lunch time. All the.food was hot and fresh. I like all the variety of children. Their jalapeno checking was my favorite. My wife liked that they had shrimp in a lot of dishes. Great service. The line was kept clean. They even had enchiladas. They were OK. The brisket was a surprise. Very tender. Well worth a visit.

Well, this happened at the Dai Tung on Nolana in McAllen. I ordered this on Sunday and didn’t notice these little guys until all the food was gone! I remember this happened at the Dai Tung in Mission and now it’s happened here. I loved going to the McAllen location because I thought the food quality was better than the other location. Won’t be going back for sure. I spoke to one manager but nothing came out of it; they asked for the pictures but nothing was done. I called this morning to speak to the manager and they said he was working and was “busy”. I said I’d call in 20 min. Decided to go in person and the manager I spoke to was not there. The woman who we spoke to admitted that sometimes the produce can have worms and it ends up in the food. First she said that she would give us a credit for next time; we refused since obviously we are not going to come back. Then she only wanted to refund for one plate; the worms were in all the food! We ordered beef broccoli, shrimp and veggie noodles, two orders of eggrolls, soup, orange chicken and general tso chicken. They refuse to give us a refund for the $80 bucks we spent for worms to be included in our food! In a time where everyone is experiencing financial strain to just exist, the kind/easy thing to do was give us a full refund. They have lost us, our family and friends as customers. For sure will call the health inspector, local new stations, and we will make this as public as possible!

My wife and I love Dai Tung, we usually go to the one in Mission since we have had some mishaps in the past here. We ordered take out, and I found a hair in my plate. I called to let them know and they offered to replace the meal. I told them I didn’t want it replaced today because I lost my appetite, and I just wanted a refund for my plate. He said I needed to take the food back in order to get a refund, but I didn’t want to take it because it’s inconvenient for me to go all the way back. I asked if I could get a refund for the whole meal if I took it all back since all the food was going to be cold and for having to take the plate back for proof and they got upset. They insisted they needed to see the hair so I sent them a pic and the conversation is below in the picture. Terrible customer service. If you plan to do take out make sure to check the plates there or be prepared to prove their lack of cleanliness by returning the plate. We certainly will not be returning or ordering taking out from here.

Went to Lotus as soon as they opened was craving beef broccoli and my wife was craving pati. The serves was amazing as soon as we sat down they took our drink order. The outside is deceiving thought the inside was going to look terrible but looked clean and well kept. When we ordered our food it didn't take long to receive it. We also ordered an appetizer of shrimp puffs which my wife said tasted good. I received an egg drop soup which was also good. When we get our main dishes they were nice and hot. My wife said she loved the taste of the pati and I also loved the beef broccoli. Over all loved our food and service here would recommend trying it if you are skeptical.

Valley people! After a long wait and no sign of Lotus opening up again I found a replacement! The plate I would get at lotus is the same quality flavor and texture as is the new place. It is delicious you should all try it. Although the prices are a bit more because they don't have specials like lotus.

I always order ahead or go through the drive thru it's quicker, and if you can manage to pick up your order via drive thru, I'd recommend that! Other than that, great food great service (slower inside) 🙄 but that's it's only downfall. I was 15 minutes late picking up my food and it was still hot, so that gets 5 stars in my book! Photo (my togo order properly secure and wrapped!)

Loved the Cub reference in the menu. The food was fresh, the staff was really polite. We order the bowl meals and it was the perfect size without been too much. The rangoons were really crispy. While the employee was cleaning the table next to us, she asked us how everything was doing, and I asked for a lid and they brought it over along with a bag for me. The restaurant is really nice, and new and fancy. It also has drive thru. And they welcome you as soon as you enter.

I’m not a buffet guy! Usually too messy, chaotic, and just not my thing. But I got invited to a graduation luncheon at China Cafe and ended up really enjoying it. This buffet was much cleaner and more organized than most I’ve been to. The food? Solid. The tonkatsu was crispy and flavorful, and the grilled meats—chicken teriyaki, BBQ pork, and pork ribs—were absolutely on point. I skipped the rice (protein real estate is precious) and loaded up on all the good stuff. Our waitress was incredible! She handled our large party solo, kept everything running smoothly, and never missed a beat. Fair play to her! Overall, a pleasant experience. If you like buffets—or even if you usually don’t—China Cafe is worth checking out.

This food was really amazing !! It was super tasty nice and hot and the dessert option was fantastic I definitely recommend this and their service is amazing too

Stopped by today for the 1st time to give this place a try. Employees were friendly and helpful. The servings were very generous and the prices were excellent. We enjoyed our food and the establishment. We will definitely be back.

Good customer service. The food was good. Hot. There was a lot of food to choose from. All the trays were food. Lobby was cleaned. There's free soup and fruit. The place just needed a little bit of more lighting inside. Parking lot is not too big. A really good and useful and important thing is that it has outlets to charge ur electronics.

The staff was kind, the restaurant was a vibe and man, the food was so good!!!! I tried the cucumber salad- very flavorful (but still very refreshing!) The veggie crispy spring rolls - crisped to perfection! The lettuce wraps- so good, it was completely eaten before I could get a pic! Definitely my fave appetizer of the night! 10/10 highly recommend! As a plant based girlie, I tried the fried rice (without egg/ green onion). I did add some of the sesame sauce from the cucumber salad on top, which made it chefs kiss to the power of 2! This was my first time here and I’m obsessed. For 3 people, 4 appetizers, 3 drinks, 3 entrees, and 2 soups, it was $101! That’s not bad pricing at all!! (Yea, we’re big backs)

The food was good as usual, this is more about the impeccable service. I always appreciate an attentive server. We had: 1. Pork dumplings 2. Artichokes 3. Orange chicken 4. Fried shrimp 5. White rice

Food is phenomenal they always busy and long lines but it’s worth because the food is coming always fresh and excellent costumer service thank you.

I went there because a friend recommended the place saying it was really good, tried it out for the first time and it was amazingly good! The service was also very good! Abril helped me out telling me how to order since it was my first time and she was really nice and polite! Definitely going back in the future!

Most of there meals are tasty I'm a fan of there general taos chicken and fried rice with a side of chicken dumplings you won't get a better deal than here I take my gf atleast once a week here

I bought a 3 entree plate and asked for general chicken and grilled teriyaki and grilled jalapeño chicken. Tell me why every thing is fried not grilled I only noticed once I was home such a disappointment .

Not the best food, but above average for the price. Very good service (catering for the Spanish speaking audience, which makes sense for their location). Highly recommend the wings, I love their sauce!

This restaurant is not what I expected. I have been to the one just north of Nolana on 10th and its WAY better than this one (across from the mall in McAllen.) I don't understand how the quality and variety could be so different from the other restaurant. Even the building is looking rundown. The glass inside by the tables was dirty. The walls right next to the tables was dirty. I was not impressed with the food here and I probably wont be coming back.

The chow mein is very bland and simple it could use some more veggies to make it more flavorful, the teriyaki chicken is pretty decent, the honey shrimp is to much sweet. Overall a just okay Chinese restaurant, there are better options at the mall.

This used to be a good place and good tasting food. Recently tried it again and it’s just nasty. Not even my dog wanted to eat it. Sorry but they need to bring back the quality food and taste or else this place is going to close soon.
