I had 2 basketball games today. My mom says she is going to get Chinese during my games. We lose them both so I'm mad. I'm hungry too. I remember the orange chicken that would be waiting for me. I take a bite. It's mid. I'm so sad now. I try the fried rice and it's above mid. Anyways Cajun grill at gurnee mills is better.

Kung Pao chicken, average, lots of juice, not spicy at all, not a lot of chicken, more vegies than other restaurants I've ordered from. Egg rolls pricy & not worth it, bland w/cheap filling, Ragoons shaped in flower style and tasteless. Final straw was fortune cookies with guys in underwear on one side, fortune on the other. Really??

First time here in many years. We decided to try it for our annual Christmas carry out order. We get a wide variety of dishes and meats. Everything was well prepared and good quality. The food was ready for carry out when they said and also packaged well. It got home with no spills and messes. Anyone who has ordered Chinese food before knows this can be an issue. The crab Rangoon were very good. Our favorite dishes were the twice cooked pork and the hunan vegetables. We will order from here again.

The last time i was here was probably 10 years ago. I did not like their food back then so i was a little reluctant when my boyfriend wanted to go here. Take Out orders seems to be on the slow side. He was told the wait would be half and hour. Maybe because it's only the wife and husband working? So if you are really hungry, be prepared to wait. He ordered chicken fried rice, garlic chicken, and hot and sour soup for me. Obviously this place is faaaaaaaaar from being "authentic." It is very Americanized but can't blame them due to the location. The garlic chicken wasnt bad at all tbh. It just looked kinda scary lol. It was just very gooey with reddish sauce. The look isnt very appealing but it doesnt taste bad. If i had to go there again, i wouldnt mind ordering it again.The fried rice is "normal" as well. It's your very basic kind of fried rice. I actually did not really like my hot and sour soup. Edible. But wont order it again. There was only three ingredients in there. Eggs, bamboo shoots and a ton of mushrooms. Even the non authentic ones around the area has tofu, water crescents, black mushrooms, carrot slices, and pieces of meat. To me, this was the most skimpiest of the skimpiest hot and sour soup i've ever had. It's like someone picked out all the stuff they dont like and gave me the soup. bleeeeeh. The soup looks like egg drop soup from a distance because of the amount of eggs in the soup.So, if you feel like eating chinese food, Hunan Hibachi Buffet in Waukegan is a little better. A tad better... I would recommend going there for a slightly better quality chinese food. I just dont see myself ordering anything else from them. Especially if you can skimp out so much on the most basic soup.

This Chinese restaurant just changed owners after over 20 years of being run by Sue and her husband. The interior has been nicely freshened up, and the food is good. My major complaint is the lack of customer service and attention. I have been there about 4 times with the new owners and there is just a lack of enthusiasm. You are greeted, order taken, food brought out and then, they forget you're there. It's a small restaurant, so it's not because they are overwhelmed with business, they just seem apathetic. I will return occasionally, but would hope for a more attentive, outgoing attitude.

Well, for years and years Best Panda was my go-to Chinese joint. New management in 2018 has come in, and the food I have ordered has been horrendous. Lo Mein was awful. Beef and pork fried rice was awful. Here's hoping they get their act together soon because I would like to see them succeed.

Well I tried this place out of hunger for chinese food and I just don't think I'll be going back..My order came to 20.35 all together which isn't to bad but its just not the same as normal chinese food..I ordered Orange chicken and instead of getting deep fried large chicken chunks with orange sauce like a normal place will give you I got small chunked chicken in a spicy orange sauce that I'm not very fond of I'm 7mos pregnant and don't really like spicy stuff..The crab rangoon was a little off as well amd came with no sweet and sour sauce which is also pretty unusual..The egg drop soup most is usually yellow broth due to egg yolk but this ones white I'm just so confused I don't quite understand what kind of Chinese food this is but its definitely not normal lol..Not to my liking...

The service here is not very good. The waitress was on her phone and just hanging out when we needed her. The food is okay. Not loving the fried rice. I so wanted this place to be great. I have only been here for lunch and have not ordered take out. I have been here twice. Both times, the same.

Ordered takeout a couple of days ago. Ordered sweet and sour chicken, orange chicken, beef and broccoli and wonton soup. Chicken was so over cooked it was dry and tough to chew... this was in both dishes and literally every single piece of chicken... the rice was undercooked and hard... talk about unwanted roughage. The beef and broccoli was ok, and wonton soup left much to be desired. Likely low quality meat (spares) in filling. Not sure what I should have expected for $60 in this economy but if you can't serve edible food at these prices then raise the price!
