We have been going to Panda Inn for several years and have always enjoyed it. The food is reasonably priced and very good. Since the portions are a nice size, we usually split one appetizer and one entree. The white chocolate covered fortune cookies are a very nice touch at the end of the meal. The parking lot next to...

Food was really very good! I know that a lot of people are visiting this place for some years, and this is not accidental. Prices are also very good for this quality.

I have been away for many years but this is my home style taste bar. Today as I saw all of the new buildings, I was worried that this restaurant was gone-but there it was and in minutes I was having my favorite kung pao chicken and green beans with garlic and it was just as good as I remember...

The Panda Inn is famous for serving Chinese food without a long menu. I had a good vegetarian lunch/dinner at the location two blocks from my cousin's apartment.

As I understand it, this is the original restaurant on which Panda Express chain was based. Their orange chicken is excellent and they have a number of tasty traditional Chinese dishes in an upscale atmosphere.

I LOVE panda express so went out of my way to eat at the upscale version, Panda Inn... however the food was not even as good in my book, meat was tough and the sauces were only comparable or worse than the express versions. I would not go back, especially considering how much I had to pay I hope I... More

I am never disappointed eating at the Panda Inn. Their orange chicken and beef and broccoli is really good. I really like their excellent service and entree selection. I am probably going to have some today.

We've been going to this restaurant for years, way back to when Paul was the manager. It was like a nice, family restaurant. Prices were quite reasonable, food was excellent and the ambience was terrific. We particularly liked the friendliness of the staff. It felt like we were renting one of our favorite booths where they ushered us into every... More

I've frequented this restaurant for years, although less so recently (prefer fare at another restaurant in south Glendale, a better value). Adjacent pay parking (in busy section of the city, parking can be problematic, although there's a sizable lot on west side of Maryland Ave., which runs south of Wilson Avenue, on which the restaurant is located). Decor nice. Personnel... More
