I apologize I haven't raved about Great panda Oriental Cuisine here in Yelp. But I do with many people. I have been ordering for all my parties or even simple Sunday get together. Best tasting. The Eggrolls are the best. Great price point! Try them! read more

When I have a gathering at a home to attend in the area, this is my go to place to pick up some lumpia shanghai, officially on their menu as pork egg rolls (25 pieces for $10.95). They are always a hit wherever I go. The ambiance could use some work, but it's mostly typical of a fast filipino food place. They had my order ready on time. read more

The best lumpia in the city, and awesome price. $20 for 50 pieces. Or $35 for 100. The lumpia's stay light & crispy even after a few hours. Honestly that's what we mostly come here for, but the food we've tried has been good too. Service is always good. read more

The food is not good. I just bought some foods today was not totally satisfied. The beef Caldereta is taste bad. Not recommended this restaurant read more

Been wanting to try this place out because it's a Filipino Chinese fusion restaurant. I was looking for some good beef steak, but when I arrived today for the first time I noticed there were no options to pick from. I don't know if they were sold out & not making more or they just don't have a wide selection of dishes to choose from. The food was just okay. If you're really hungry it's decent, otherwise I'd recommend you pass on this place. read more

Oh my goodness, last time I came here was such different experience. We entered the establishment and the lady behind the counter kept her back to us and was scrolling through social media. After 3 minutes, she finally turned around and acknowledged us and acted like she was annoyed we even came in to give them business. She was unfriendly and was so skimpy on the portions. Mind you, it looked like the food had been sitting out for so long. There was only one family eating there and us, we took our food to go. The place and ambiance was so depressing and the experience and food was suboptimal. There is Pacific Island Grill that's a 5 minute walk from this place. I have always tried to give this place business, but this is the last time. I see this place closing soon if they do not improve their food and staff. read more

The food was so good I was I was not expecting it to be so good. I thought this place was Chinese but it is actually Filipino food and some of the best I have ever had. read more

Amazing small Mom and Pop shop with amazing lumpia. My kids love it, we order on the spot or call in bigger orders. Service is great, highly recommend read more

The lady was not friendly - not rude, but no hello or smile. I asked for 2 combos. One of the side was chicken wings and she only game us 2 pieces. The portion was very small, smaller than any Filipino turo turo place. We took it home but when we tasted it, it was just okay. The wings were dry, the meat for the beef caldera was tough, and the dinugoan was okay. The best part of the combo was the rice, which is sad. Will not coming back here and will not recommend. read more

"The food is great, but the customer service leaves much to be desired. The lady at the front always has an attitude whenever we dine in. It feels like you can't even ask her a question without being a bother." Ambiance is fine. read more

Ordered the orange chicken, beef and broccoli, lumpia and adobo. The adobo was super dry and the soup was 100% oil. I had to pour it out Bc it was such a turn off. The beef and Broccoli was sort of good but the broccoli was smushy which leads me to wonder how long it had been under the heat lamp. The lumpia wasn't actually bad. Had a nice crisp. Sauce was good. Orange chicken wasn't half bad either. But the main turn off was the oil from the adobo. read more

I have to admit, it is pretty pricey on the food. They need to bring the prices down because they give you such small portions. Panda Express gives way more portions and they charge less. Love the Steamed White Rice (1 order) and ordered the Chicken Barbecue (10 Sticks) Pretty good. Also ordered Great Panda 2 Entree Combo . Came with rice but like i said the 2 entrees were small portions. I also asked for chow mein but gave me rice instead. They have good food but just wish they can give bigger portions and bring the price down. My only complaints. Solid 4 stars. read more

My aunt ordered a lechon for her birthday, and we were told they'd have to cut it in half to fit it in their oven. It seemed like an odd way to cook a lechon, but we went with it. What wasn't acceptable was being served a burnt lechon that cost over $400. To make matters worse, the restaurant blamed us for it being burnt because we picked it up 20 minutes late. They left it inside the oven??? And they left the oven on??? The customer service was terrible, and the lechon was even worse--completely dry and bland. None of us could eat it, so my aunt had to turn it into paksiw just so we could salvage it. read more

This place is located just down the street where I live and never knew it was a Filipino restaurant until a friend told me. The name threw me off because it's called Great Panda, normally any place with panda is associated with being a Chinese restaurant. The people are nice and the food here is not bad as well. It's a very small restaurant more like a turo-turo style and have a small dine in area as well. It is kinda nice to have a Filipino place to run to when you have a sudden craving for it and it's just down the street from your home. The owner is nice and friendly as well. read more

A very nice couple recommended Great Panda to us while we were in queue at a supermarket cashier. The couple said Great Panda has the best (kambing) "Kaldereta" (braised goat meat in tomato sauce) and "Papaitan" (goat meat in ginger-braised bitter-gull soup). Recommendation is to call Great Panda one day in advance to order either or both kaldereta/papaitan. We called it in. The next day we picked it up. Our review: Kaldereta - to die for, BEST one my family ever had! The goat meat does not have the gamey after-taste, which is typical in any goat dish. The meat is fork-tender, the sauce is great with a little touch of heat. Papaitan - interestingly, the signature "bitterness" of this Filipino delicacy is absent from Great Panda's Papaitan menu item. The meat is tender, complete with the skin, fat and ingredients of the authentic dish. No gamey after-taste, ginger flavor neutralizes any funky smell or taste. There is mild heat in the soup. We also ordered dine-in combo meals for lunch: Pork Sisig, Pork Nilaga, and Lechon Kawali. To sum it all up, we went home very satisfied. All items tasted like it was just freshly-cooked. I want to thank the couple who recommended this humble, tiny hole-on-the-wall restaurant. Great Panda is located next to the Duke's Broiler, behind Bank of America and The Coffee Bean shop visible from Ynez Road and Margarita Road. The restaurant has a small sign, covered by the tree so it is easy to miss it. The actual location is on Margarita Road, just before the carwash and Island Pacific Market. This restaurant is worth your visit, and hopefully the community's long term business. I wouldn't mind patronizing Great Panda for our daily Filipino food cravings even if I drive 10 miles out, that's how good they are. Congratulations to the owners, chef, and staff of Great Panda! We pray for you to flourish because we love eating quality food like yours! read more

I had family gathering and ordered food at great Panda. I was craving for authentic Filipino food. Kare kare - plenty of tripe and vegetables! Very good. Crispy pata - yummy but maybe presentation can be better. Tortang talong and fried pompano- both good. Palabok - I like it! Tasty and has good ingredients. Korean beef ribs- this is tasty but the only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 stars is because there's a bit of too cooked / some burnt ones. Overall I really enjoyed the food. They were ready when we arrived for pick up. There's ample parking. I am very happy and would be a "suki" here. Two thumbs up - delicious Filipino food! read more

Marketed as chinese, it's really a filipino restaurant... may be a bit misleading. This is the longest running filipino restaurant in the temecula valley, they've been open for over 20 years!! I like their party tray of chicken wings, pretty good!! Check out my chocken wings party tray!! read more

Definitely won't buy food to them again. Overpriced food they Charge $ 2 extra for a piece of hard sausage that you can barely bite. I do not recommend buying food to this store. read more

This place should be closed. It's a health hazard. The food has been frozen and re served again. The ceiling is leaking water it almost landed on my rice. The server sneezed close to the food read more

The best Filipino food in the area with the best prices! So much more better than that overpriced, overrated Filipino joint inside that supermarket around the corner! And the folks serving couldn't be nicer! Everything was flavorful and the portions were great not like that other place! Like General MacArthur said, "I shall return!" Again and again!:) read more

Went and visit twice with this restaurant called Great Panda at margarita road. It is authentic Filipino food except the server is so stingy and she served the food I ordered like almost half of the container for each menu, it supposed to be full. I'm unhappy customer and will never go back there again. read more

This is authentic filipino food and they have some groceries available too ! Lunch is priced very well , you'll probably order more than you will be able to eat because of the large sized portions. I highly recommend this place . Also the family that runs the place are super nice ! read more

Small hole in the wall with delicious Vietnamese food. I can't speak for the Chinese food bc I didn't have it, but the pansit, egg roles, and adobo were so good. They also give you a lot & the girl at the counter was really helpful. read more

I have never tasted anything else from here besides the LUMPIA! I've tried lumpia from lots and lots of places, but this place makes them the best!! $30 for a tray, they are crispy and delicious. read more

Don't bother. Just save yourself the time and go to Panda Express. The food is not fresh. The orange chicken is mushy. Everything is very salty. Don't know how this place has been in business for as long as it has. read more

First of all I love Filipino food. The food here is mediocre. Secondly the service here sucks,it needs immediate attention. The time my wife and I came in here, there was no one in the front. They were in the back eating their lunch. They told us to ring the bell. When my wife rang the bell,this woman answered very rudely "can't you see I'm washing my hands!". My wife and I didn't want to bother arguing back. It just a waste of time with these people/business. So we just told them it's ok we'll just go eat somewhere else. I just hope they got the message. So in conclusion, the food not only mediocre but the service and the workers are worst. I wouldn't recommend this business to anyone. read more

I like pilipino food, and this is one of the best places to get it. The food is very good and the staff is very friendly and helpful, their home made chicharon is the best, esp. the chicken. I have visited this place several times. read more

Be careful, the lumpia and sauce is very addicting. read more

Nasty. Thought this place was a Chinese Fast food place. I wanted to get teriyaki chicken. As soon as I walked in and saw the food, I knew this was no chinese place. Oh they had teriyake chicken, but it was dried up and soaked in the teriyaki sauce. I immediately wanted to leave, but felt weird because I was the only person there and the lady was staring at me. They had orange chicken which looked okay, but I can't have spicy stuff for the kids so I opted for the gross looking teriyaki chicken. $3.50 for a serving of it. Cheap, but still not worth the nastiness. Everything else looked so questionable. Oh man, I think this place was a filipino place. Oriental cuisine my butt! I don't know filipino food all that well even though my husband is filipino, but this stuff looked straight up nasty. I think unless you came from the phillipines, you would not want to touch this stuff or even look at it. Okay the egg rolls/lumpia stuff looked okay, but I didn't get any. I went home, my son who wants to drink soy sauce told me the chicken was too salty. I tried it before I gave it to him and it was edible, but the chicken was dried out and absorbed a lot of the sauce into the meat. I think it was there in the heater since it opened that day. And I got there at 6:00pm. I've never been so horrified in my life. I will absolutely never come here ever again. Never ever never never never. Ack! Can't believe I don't have the balls to just walk out. read more
