    Mongolian beef, shrimp fried rice
    Jessie D.

    Unfortunate. This was my first time sitting inside and it was not good. The smell of smoke is awful and made it hard to focus on the food. The fried rice was... okay. Plain, but hot and filling. The Mongolian beef was a train wreck. The beef was chewy and sparse, the onions were basically raw.

    Took a quick pic of their hours- Yelp has them wrong. Great food, casual place, owners are local and friendly.

    ***Overall: 3.75 stars*** Service: 5 stars We were seated, served, and tended to right away. Excellent! This smiley lady checked on us and kept an eye on us the entire time we were there. Facility/Location: 5 stars Everything about the facility and location is 5 stars -- from the restaurant being easy-to-find in Aptos Village, parking is ample, restaurant space is large and clean. Even the ambiance has just enough decor to whisper "Chinese restaurant" so they didn't need to put the description into the name. Decor was simple and looked family-owned. Menu/Price: 4 stars A decent menu with reasonable prices. I like that they offer lunch specials, but it doesn't say anything other than a lower price, so I guess that just means you get rice and the dish for a slightly discounted rate? It'd have been nice to get a side with it, like potstickers or a salad and a drink. Some authentic Chinese dishes aren't on the menu, but then again, this is also the first Chinese restaurant menu I've seen that is in all English, so perhaps that gives me a hint why. Food/Flavor: 3.5 stars The food came out super fast and it tasted good, though the noodles lacked flavor. My daughter had to add salt to hers and I reached for the spicy chili -- both things were uncommon actions by both of us! Other than that, the food tasted good and was freshly made. We did like that food and plan to order from there again.

    Sichuan boiled fish. Delicious!

    Jessie D doesn't know how to order real Chinese food. You don't go to an authentic Chinese restaurant and order American Chinese food which is not authentic Chinese food from China. More people order Chinese food from here than all others in the area BECAUSE it is authentic. If you want to start off with an amazing dish order the Sichuan boiled fish and a bowl of white rice. Eat them together in your mouth. You won't be disappointed. Americans don't now that boiled food in other countries is 5 star, packed full of flavor and makes meat melt in your mouth. By the way, vegetables should be crunchy, not mushy. Asians know how to cook food.

    Shrimp in lobster sauce

    We saw this place on Yelp and decided to try it. Every dish we ordered was delicious and we were well taken care of. We ordered chicken salad, sweet and sour pork, shrimp in lobster sauce, bbq pork chow fun, eggplant, and rice. The colors on the vegetables were so beautiful and vibrant. It's one of the best Chinese food places we've eaten at, and we've eaten at a lot of them.

Upon entering, an employee named Jason motioned for us to walk over, handed us an open iPad, and walked away without any explanation. As first-time visitors from out of town, we were unfamiliar with their ordering system. When I asked for assistance finding a specific dish listed on their website, he rudely told us they did not offer it. He then made a comment in Mandarin or Cantonese to a colleague, and both men looked at us. At that point, I returned the iPad and let him know we would not be ordering. As a mixed-race couple, with my husband being permanently disabled, we were left wondering if this unwelcoming behavior was motivated by discrimination or if it reflects the restaurant's typical customer service. Regardless, the interaction was extremely uncomfortable and disrespectful. Fortunately, we went to Yan Flower nearby instead, where we received kind, welcoming, and excellent service. Yes, the food was good too! Sometimes food isn't the most important thing you receive from a restaurant, don't get me wrong it is a strong motivator, but for me, service is everything.

I am so bummed. I was soooo busy that I hadn't eaten the day before and was craving Chinese food. A friend suggested we grab food and head to the beach, so I decided on Panda Inn, which I'd been wanting to try for some time now. I ordered Singaporean style rice noodles, which is said to be cooked with eggs, and vegetables, and curry sauce. That sounded delicious! On the phone, they asked what protein (ie, chicken, pork), so I chose tofu, which I didn't know at the time had an additional cost. It was +$3 for tofu! (He should have informed me, I think.) The order was prepared quickly and was hot. It was seasoned (salted), but there was no curry flavor (I was surprised to read this in the menu!) I also saw, smelled, felt, and tasted NO TOFU. *sigh*. It wasn't a huge deal, except that I really wanted some substance since that was the main thing I was eating in 2 days, that was what I ordered so I was expecting to see it, AND I had to pay extra for it! All in all, I was quite disappointed.

From the outside, it doesn't look like much, and inside it's tiny tiny. maybe 6 to 8 tables total. Honestly, it could use some updates or a bigger location, but don't let any of that fool you. The second you walk in, you get that old-school family restaurant feeling. The kind of place that's been around forever, where the same family is working every shift and knows half their customers by name. No room for a Togo box hidden storage, no trendy décor, just people focused on making great food and taking care of their customers. The owner was incredibly kind and even brought us a complimentary order of their veggie rolls to try. They were absolutely delicious and such a thoughtful touch that made us feel genuinely welcomed. And the food? Absolutely incredible. Every single thing we ordered was packed with flavor, fresh, and cooked perfectly. Not one dish disappointed. It's the kind of restaurant that reminds you why local family-owned spots are worth supporting. If you're looking for fancy, this isn't it. If you're looking for some of the best food around in the Monterey area, this place is a 10/10 and well worth the visit. Don't judge this place by its location or appearance, the food speaks for itself.
