Happy Panda

We were looking for a place near my dad's home for Chinese take-out. The options were limited with similar reviews, so we decided upon Happy Panda. It was only 5 miles away and my niece and nephew liked the name "Happy Panda!"The food was good overall. We ordered the Chicken with Garlic Sauce, Bean Curd with Mixed Vegetables, Sweet and Sour Chicken, Lo Mein and Dumplings. The chicken and bean curd were delicious and flavorful. And, had we only ordered these two items, this review would easily be a 4 star review. The Dumplings, Lo Mein, and Sweet and Sour Chicken were not the best. The dumplings were very doughy, something about the Lo Mein was off, and the sweet and sour chicken pieces were overly fried and dried and some were hard to bite into.

Food quality is the issue here. Recently ordered 5 items, all 5 had significant problems. For example, the Cold Sesame Noodles were made with spaghetti instead of Asian noodles and the sauce was watery and not to style. The beef used in the Beef with Snow Peas had a such a strong off taste it was truly inedible.

They used spaghetti noodles for their lo mein the texture was off, and I was not a fan. The egg rolls were good. The lo mein was my meal though so it kinda ruined the experience for me

Kind of good. However, the "fried rice" is yellow??? It looks like boxed Spanish rice. If you just need Chinese to scratch an itch, it's adequate. Pretty average though. Unfortunately, there aren't many options around. Bear, DE has better choices.

We order from HappyPanda at least twice a month. The food is always fresh and delicious. There sweet and sour sauce taste authentic. They have the best white rice around. I use to eat at great wall in Elkton, but their sesame chicken, rice, and sweet sour chicken was consistently awful all of a sudden. Delivery can sometimes be sketchy, so if you're starving you might want to go pick it up yourself. Love there szechaun shrimp, lemon pepper wings, fried wings, and sweet sour chicken.

2 1/2 hour wait for food that never came. Lied too me every time i called until they finally just hung up on me

This place isn't super but it isn't bad at all. I feel like the beef sticks that I had were great. And the pizza roll was pretty damn good. I'm saying that the food isn't over the top but it tastes pretty damn fresh and good.

I am a Chinese takeout (American style "Chinese" takeout food) regular.Pre-Pandemic HAPPY PANDA was 3 star OK. Now in 2022 they have a cook who prepares food "Chinese style" - he uses lots of oil in the wok and at the end of cooking he adds more oil. I have experienced this when young new cooks are at the woks. Apparently Chinese people (in China, especially Fujian province) like extra oil in their food. To my taste that much extra oil makes the food too oily/greasy. Not going back.

I ordered from the place a lot during the pandemic and really supported this business. Now that things are clearing up, they can't be bothered to deliver to my area. What a joke!

You can order Chinese food from any number of places, skip this one. The kitchen is so gross, the staff is disgusting, and the food is weak. We have all had a decent general tao's or pepper steak, but somehow this place even screws up those standards. Save yourself the time and hassle and skip this place.
