320 Fairgrounds Dr Vallejo, CA 94589 Annie's Panda Garden has seen better times. This restaurant has been around for a very long time. I remember meeting an out of town friend here for lunch back in the mid-1990's. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place has old school decor, and a great location near the freeway and down the road from the Discovery Kingdom Park.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I was there on a Saturday over Labor Day weekend. It was dinner time (6pm) and the place was empty.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The hot food steam table was no longer in use. They have the same old style tables and booths. I was greeted by my server/waitress Janet, and she offered me a booth by the window. Service was great! Grade (5/5).....because for about 30-mins, I was the only customer in the dining room. They had lots of pickup and delivery orders. My server told me they lost alot of business after they raised prices. I ordered Wor Won Ton Soup and Walnut Prawns. The Walnut Prawns were very good. The prawns were fresh and plump. The sauce was creamy and the flavor was good. You get 14 prawns and lots of chopped walnuts. Price: $14.95. The Wor Won Ton Soup was average. This is my favorite dish to order. My bowl had 8-9 dumplings, lots of bok choy, some shrimp, and some beef and chicken strips. The broth was mild. I wouldn't order this again. Price: $11.95. Food Grade (3/5). [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's only one working restroom. It was clean, but was very stuffy. They had the window locked shut, so no fresh air.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant looks rundown from the outside. It could use some fresh paint. Grade (2/5)[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Off-street parking. Overall, 3-stars. Good location near freeway, less than 2 miles from Kaiser Hospital, and down the road from Discovery Kingdom. Would I return? Yes! Old school Chinese food at reasonable prices. Fairgrounds Drive goes straight to the freeway heading South. read more

I have not been here in years. The place got run down. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Inside is now clean with new upholstery in booths and on chairs.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Greeted quickly and served quickly by a very pleasant young lady. I ordered Schwann chicken. Vegetables are bright and crisp. I asked for medium heat. It was a little too spicy for me. Good sized portion and priced right. read more

Annie's Panda Garden - Szhuan Chicken and chow mein - Seafood Near Me - Vallejo, California

I ordered the food for one combo. It came in one container slopped together. The noodles were extra greasy. The meat tastes old and rotten. The combo chow mein only had mainly chicken in it and two small slices of beef. The double mushroom chicken was disgusting. I love mushroom chicken usually, but i am not even sure what kind of mushrooms they use.. maybe shiitake mushrooms, but these were rubbery and tasted horrible. I ordered the buy one get one free potstickers. I'm pretty sure these are just made from a frozen bag and put in an air fryer because they were not like normal Authentic steamed pot stickers at all. I have lived in Vallejo my entire 53 years, and this was the first and only time I ate here. Now I know why. I'm sorry to leave such a bad review, but this food was horrible. I threw the entire order away as I was afraid I was going to get sick. Hopefully this was just my experience. read more

I recently went in for an order and I come frequently. My family loves the orange chicken. When staff recognizes me from outside of the restaurant they tend to be nicer as opposed to when I come in looking different. I came in and just buy rice and egg rolls . Not much conversation happened she checked the payment, brought out a bag, and said okay. So I grab the bag and go. I sit in my car to see if this is my order and as I check the items I realize it isn't. So I pack it up and start to head to bring it in. Then as I turn the woman is at my door. I open it and she immediately stands in front of my door so I'm unable to close it back and starts asking about the food. Did I order door dash? Did you have two orders? No I accidentally picked up because you brought out a bag said okay and left the room. I start to continue the conversation speaking my point and apologizing but when I realize she isn't listening and won't move on past me grabbing the bag. She couldn't comprehend why I'd grab the bag/ already had her mind set. I disengaged repeating thank you until she left. She gives off the vibe of stealing. Personally id leave the parking lot if I wanted to steal food. My car wasn't even on. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Service, Food, Ambiance all could be better.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This is always my last resort for Chinese food because it's very greasy. I love the veggie egg rolls they are a good price. Great honey walnut prawns. But I don't eat pork and beef so this is specifically talking about the fish and veggie dishes. I think most Chinese places that are delicious. Come with a bit of attitude so it's up to you if you would like to come here and deal with everything. Good luck! read more

Very dissapointed! Ordered garlic chicken and received 3 flat chicken wings. Menu said garlic chicken not wings. The chow mein was so mushy it was inedible. ​ read more

Fried rice was not fresh ! Noodles were stuck to each other not fresh! just those two items and they charged over $30 bucks WTH

I was leaving on a business trip and was out and about getting stuff and grocery shopping with my Dad. We decided to give the new owners a try in person since the dining room was open! Stopped in for lunch and had a couple combo plates. These came with an egg roll and fried wonton. These didn't come with soup of the day for some reason. The price for the combo wasn't bad I want to say around 13-14 and that is with subbing out calamari. The flavors were really good, the plates came out hot and fresh and it was just overall good! I was happy, he was happy and we will definitely be back! read more

I grew up with Annie's Panda Garden as the go-to meal for casual dining, celebratory lunches, and many other occasions. It is cheap, offers large portions, excellent customer service, and tasty food. This restaurant is actually the reason why I do not like Panda Express because I know I can get way better Chinese food. As I always did in my childhood, I opted for the Dinner for One. I got fried rice and salt and pepper chicken. Their fried rice is bursting with umami flavor. The pork in it added a layer of delicious meaty flavor. The chicken was juicy and wasn't full of breading at all, unlike many other restaurants that serve their version of deep-fried boneless chicken. The Dinner for One option also comes with fried egg rolls, wonton, and egg-drop soup, which is a delicious set of appetizers. Over time, they did increase the price of their dishes but not by a lot. The price is still quite affordable compared to other places. The serving size is still a lot! I am glad that that has not changed over the years - I always have a second meal when I take home my leftovers. Nowadays, it seems like the restaurant is empty, and that's kind of depressing. This place used to be filled with customers, and finding parking was always a challenge. However, I did notice that they receive a lot of online orders, mainly party trays - which I think is such a good option for food at parties. read more

I'm a believer! It's said that people who live in certain parts of Vallejo have their fav Chinese restaurant and I can testify for the area that votes Annie's as #1! (I'm from a different part of town. Don't tell nobody! lol) This review is dedicated to the one dish that keeps me coming back which is the Salt & Pepper Prawns! Wooo Weeee! The chef has mastered the salt to pepper ratio so every bite is evened out with slithers of onions, green onions, and chopped jalapenos so you will be dancing and eating in Flavor Town! PROMISE! Hahaha what makes it RIGHT is also the way it's coated and fried, it's a nice portioned size headless shrimp that's fried to perfection to achieve that perfect crisp! Other restaurants cook what seems to me to be salad shrimp because 85% of it is the breading! Tsk tsk tsk. Wondering if it'll taste different if you were to order for take out or DoorDash??? It won't! I DoorDashed the lunch combo which comes with soup, 1 fried wonton chip, and 1 egg roll. One SO GOOD combo! The shrimps were still crispy! *I recommend ordering it with steamed rice! So you can fully appreciate the flavor of the dish. Thank me later! *Restaurant is open for dine in. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Annie's Panda kitchen has a very impressive establishment![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was fast and the food came just as fast; from the first bite I knew I had found a quality Chinese food restaurant worth eating at.

The food is not the same as it was years ago, but it is getting better. Personally the food tastes better when you dine in verses when you take it togo. read more

I used to come here many years ago and loved the food. I was in the area and decided to try again. Pulling into the parking lot I had second thoughts but decided to go thru with it. I was greeted right away and directed to the menu. I had a lunch special with sweet and sour chicken and lemon chicken with chow mein. I waited at one of the table for may 10 minutes if that before the food was ready. I went home and dug into and it was good. Lemon sauce was not as thick or tangy as I thought it would be but still delicious. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance not the best I suggest get it to go.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Annie's Panda Garden - Seafood Near Me - Vallejo, California

Shitty a$$ food! We ordered 4 items via Food App for delivery and spent nearly $75, not including the cost of delivery and gratuity. The only item that was worth eating was the Salted Fish and Chicken Fried Rice as it was tasty. Everything else that was garbage! Egg Fu Young was dense and all flour. Where was the cabbage or egg??? It was a thick, dense peice of flour puck heavily drowned in sauce. This item was all Carbs. Honey Walnut Prawns lacked Walnuts and was also saturated in sauce. This item is usually first to go, but sadly, it didn't fully get devour at our dinner table. Ginger Beef was skimpy. Dish should have been called Ginger Straight Up. 75% was ginger and larger pieces of ginger. The beef ratio was skimpy. Disappointing item. The order came with a small single serving of chicken salad tossed in dressing. Yet it was also sitting in a pool of dressing that look like simple syrup. We won't be ordering again. The restaurant lacks good quality ingredients and maybe even needs a new chef. read more

09.12.25- Birthday and needed a quick food for to-go. Ordered via phone and the voice of the lady sounded like she was awaken from her sleep. Ordered Honey Walnut Prawns, mongolian bbq, beef chow mein, chicken fried rice and orange chicken. Was given 10mins and here I am, picking up my order. [[HIGHLIGHT]]As I walk in, there was an old musty smell. This restaurant needs a deep cleaning as you can see items all over and maybe a little renovation might help.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The appearance and rug was very old. That was since the last owner's items; it's time for an upgrade.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cleanliness is traced from eating area and what more inside the cooking area? If the dining is not appealing, what more in the kitchen where customers could not see?[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] No itemized english letter on the written receipt. So idk what I am paying for. The receipt is just the total that you have to pay which can be questionable for some. 5 items mentioned total was $72.54. The cashier lady was okay but needed more energy when dealing with customers. And a litle smile won't hurt. It's not the same as it used to be for idk how many years ago. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I have heard from a famous person that when you walk into a restaurant and notice that the door is dirty, expect that the kitchen is dirty, too. (and it was!)[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]For me, if the smell that will greet you is musty, what else would be expected going deeper in?[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I have seen a lot of horror chinese food restaurants when it comes to cleanliness. This Annie's has gone down and only two people were eating inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I guess it's time to google and yelp other Chinese restaurants nearby to try and compare state of cleanliness. Something to think about. read more

Waste of money for a pick up order Beef and oyster sauce not what I was expecting. Normally beef and oyster sauce served over rice. They prepared order with no rice more of a beef and vegetables stew. Dried fried ribs nothing but thin pork chop cut into cubes bones included deep fried. Combo chow fun terrible more slices of onion than the combo shrimp and meat which was salad shrimp small diced sweet sour pork lack of flavor. Nothing smelled or tasted like authentic Chinese food. very disappointing no flavor of a Chinese meal with sauces and seasonings. read more

So we thought we'd give Annie's PG another try and have it delivered. Bad mistake!! We ordered: Combination Chow Mein- chewy noodles tasted cheap, and had no flavor. General Tso's Chicken-more like chicken and broccoli soaked in sugar water. Egg Foo Young-a hockey puck dough that can't even absorb the watery sauce that had no flavor, and it all drained out of the container and into the bag they put it in. Szechuan Beef- It looked nothing like the picture you see here on Yelp. It was sliced beef with vegetables, and like the rest of the meal, the sauce was watery, had no flavor, and was floating in the bag. Overall, the worst Chinese food ever. We'll never eat here again! Now, for what little positive we could find in this meal: all the vegetables had texture and crunch, and the shrimp in the combination chow mein was good! read more

All tasted good and was really warm! The only complaint is there was so much sauce from the Double Mushroom Chicken that leaked out of the box. Great prices and found deals for these items! Will order from there again. read more

I've recently tried their roasted duck. It's well prepared and delicious. Also their chicken fried rice, great seasoning every bite. I came in to order in person. The lady upfront was not very friendly not welcoming. She was quite snooty in my opinion. The second time around I called in my order instead as I didn't want to encounter her again. This time I picked it up and the older gentleman gave me my order, he was very nice and I complimented the roast duck again that it was delicious. Also, this time I also ordered the veggie egg foo young. The veggies and sauce were delicious. Sadly I thought the actual egg foo young was a bit firm. I didn't care for it that I did not eat it. I only ate the vegetables. So, that was a waste I thought. I will mention it next time I order from them. read more

We loved this place! The parking was a little difficult only because a giant truck was in the way, but that was no reflection on this wonderful place. It was still a super spot in our eyes. To go was simple and no problem. Our order was correct and delicious by the time we made it home. The portions were generous and the service was excellent! The steam rice and chow mein was perfect. The walnut prawns and ragoon are A1!! I can't wait til we come back and maybe dine inside because it's nice inside too. Very calm and peaceful. read more

I really liked their salt and pepper calamari but I was so disappointed there were only seven pieces on the lunch special plate. There were more onions and scallions vs the calamari. The other dish I ordered was a pork dish which was quite mediocre. Too much sauce and the meat swimming in it was dry underneath the crunchy breading, Next time I will just order the calamari a la carte. read more

This place used to be the go-to after a long day of being at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom, Cheap lunches during the summer while you were on summer vacation, or Sunday Dinner with the family after a long day of church and galavanting. Something I wash the pandemic hadn't robbed us of. Some would say "it's gone under new ownership" and so on. But what a lot of us have been missing is, Annie's Panda is a staple to Vallejo, CA. Despite the new owners, the taste and flavors are the same and this place remained at the same location and kept the same name. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I hate to see this place empty the way it's been over the past few years.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This is still a staple. It is history. I hope you guys support them so we can keep this custom alive read more

After Moving away from home into another city it was very hard finding the best Chinese food restaurant that resembled what we previous had. Most restaurants although they tried just could not scratch the itch that we were looking for. After enjoying many establishments but not receiving the whimsical feel of the past restaurant we gave up. One night on grub hub this location popped up and I'm not quitter. It was definitely the best decision we made. Orange Chicken: Carried a lot of flavor , tangy but also sweet the perfect combination , the chicken was cut smaller which was easier to eat, portion size was enough for us but if you love it order two Honey walnut Shrimp: My personal favorite. Great flavor, The sauce was abundant, the shrimp were huge and deveined, the shrimp were still crispy when the order arrived, also the number or shrimp you will receive is on the menu and they gave the exact amount. Chow Mein: Light on flavor, heavy on meat , straight to the point , balance of veggies throughout, --Only downsides were the amount of grease at the bottom and the light flavor. ( more garlic ,soy and teriyaki sauce were added it was great) Shrimp fried rice: Great balance of flavors, Loaded with vegetables a big plus for us, rice perfectly cooked with a lot of shrimp, --Only downside was the shrimp which were not deveined because they were so small and I did not see the option to upgrade the size read more

For one. We came planning on ordering a little bit of everything and asked for a large table and the guy was concerned about us taking up space... NO ONE else was in there.... We place our order. Apps come out cold as if they been sitting out all day. Ended up getting food to go to save the headache. Eggplant tastes old and was so soggy it was completely inedible. However honey walnut prawns were good I will say that! I highly recommend not eating here unless you want crappy food. read more

I ordered the beef chow fun and Peking spareribs both came to $26.99 Both was a disappointment, the beef chow fun was literally noodles and a few small pieces of beef, the Peking spareribs has no flavor and at the bottom of the container (Pail) was cabbage to make it looks like there a lot in it. Come at your own risk. read more

I think it would help for this business to have some constructive feedback and that's what I intend to do. I ordered a takeout two item lunch special with orange chicken, beef and broccoli, and chow mein. However, I was incorrectly given sweet and sour chicken, despite being upcharged an extra $2 for the orange chicken. I enjoyed the beef and broccoli a lot, but the chow mein and sweet and sour chicken were below my expectations. I expect chow mein to usually be oily, but this was deeply drenched in both oil and soy sauce which I didn't like. While the food was okay, I felt very strongly about the price to portion size. There are very few places where I'd enjoy paying for a $20 meal. This isn't one of them. I decided on two stars because the service was at least timely. I'm not sure if GrubHub's online order prices and the prices inside the establishment are conflicting with each other, but that needs to be fixed for pick up orders like mine if that is truly the case. I wish I could come again, but not unless my feedback is respected. read more

As locals, Annie's has been a go-to takeout staple for us. Originally we were pretty happy with the food. Unfortunately, as of early 2023 the quality seems to be going down. I know food prices are soaring and restaurant business is tough, so I understand it's challenging as a small family business. After our last few experiences I don't think we will be going back. They would not let us order fried rice or chow fun with tofu instead of meat. I have no idea why. Instead, we came home with a container full of mostly rice and barely any veggies...so disappointing! We've noticed the portions getting smaller and my hubby's beef dish wasn't as flavorful either. It's sad to see the prices going up and quality and portion size going down. Annie's could also use some landscaping to spruce the place up a bit. We sure hope they can spring back and step it up. If so, we'd love to go back! read more

A good spot for chinese. I always order take out: pick up and delivery. Delivery is a great option when I'm feeling lazy. Their food is tasty and flavorful so you can't go wrong. I order the same food every time: honey walnut shrimp, and fried wontons lol delicious. This time I picked it up on my way home from work. It's conveniently located right by the freeway. Parking is plentiful and they are open for indoor dining. Of course I plan to order other things but I'm happy with my occasional order. I am a returning customer. read more

Came here for dinner w my mom. The restaurant wasn't busy just yet and we were quickly seated. I hadn't been here in years...the interior hadn't changed much. The menu was plentiful with lots of selections. We settled on steamed flounder. They did not have any snow peas for the snow peas w chicken...substituted with green beans and we asked if they could add some tofu. Accommodated for us. The flounder was perfectly steamed and seasoned. Between my mom and I the flounder was devoured It was a good thing we did not order a 3rd dish as we ended up packing 3/4s of the green beans w chicken and tofu home. Food was very good, service as exceptional and attentive. Thank you n my Mom gives it a read more
