Reviews for Panda Gourmet in 2700 New York Ave NE, WA
I?ve loved this place for years and have primarily eaten in, but my take out experience tonight was super disappointing. $5.70... for a large wonton soup and there only 4 small, hard filling, tasteless dumplings in it?! Not to mention the broth itself whichis normally a perfectly balanced blend of ginger and sesame, tasted like greasy water. We didn?t end up eating it. We alsoordered the Dan Dan noodles, which were okay, and a pork dish with fermented veggies that was again okay, but overly greasy andlacking the usual complex flavors this place is known for. While I?m not ready to give up on panda gourmet, this meal that was$40+ did not leave a great taste in our mouths. Read more
Don't come here expecting the usual Panda Express type of fare. Do come here expecting delicious, authentic Chinese food at a... reasonable price! The dan dan noodles are particularly flavorful. Read more
A True Gem! This is my favorite Chinese restaurant. The rabbit is delicious but be cautious of tiny bones. The boiled fish is my... favorite. If you like spicy food, you should definitely give it a try. The cabbage dish is very rich, but quite good. Whenever Ihave a guest seeking good Chinese food, this is where I go. Read more
Visiting and read reviews so decided to try since we didn't want regular Chinese food. The beef noodle bowl was best ive ever... had and the Chinese burger was amazingly different. The pork seasoned and tender and bun soft. Wish we had this place back hometo continue to enjoy. The menue is very unique and large. Dont go there expecting "Chinese Food". Read more
This place was awesome! It was so good I came back the next night for another dinner here. The menu seemed to be mostly... authentic Chinese food but there were a few American-Chinese options like sesame chicken. Definitely get the ?Chinese Burger? Read more
I rarely give a place a second try, but Panda Gourmet got it and wowed me this time around. Probably the best double cooked... pork I've ever had. Got four things this time: hot-spicy chicken ($17.20) chicken fiery pot ($17.20) mapo tofu ($17.20) doublecook pork ($18.35) I asked for "da ma - da la", and while I didn't get as the numbing I wanted, I got the flavor and heat I waslooking for. The hot spicy chicken is what most places call chongqing chicken. It was pretty good. The chicken fiery pot isbasically boneless chicken filet in chili oil. Probably the hottest dish of the bunch. The mapo tofu was nothing special. Abit more expensive than others, but this was good and would have me come back for these. Read more
I was skeptical when someone mentioned this place for good Sichuan food?and then more people backed it up so I HAD to try it.... Very good! The cold beef and tripe salad, the fried chicken bits, and eggplant were so good! Will definitely be coming back. Read more
Definitely worth the hype! Everything was amazing. The staff as well were so kind. I definitely enjoyed my time here and the... food. Read more
