So we've passed by this little take-out restaurant, situated prominently at the top of the road through Occum center, on our trips to and from UConn. Always curious as to what it was like, we finally took the plunge. It's take-out only, no dine in, and the fare is solidly typical American-Chinese style, nothing special, but not bad either. It'll satisfy your pork fried rice/won ton soup/egg foo young cravings - and servings are generous and quickly prepared. The proprietress who took my order and served it forth was kind, cheery, and friendly, and told me they've been around for 20 years! read more

Mr. Pan's continues to be the best Chinese in the Norwich area, but it also continues to be some of the, if not the, most expensive. Take-out only, I recommend calling ahead. read more

Typical hole in the wall Chinese food place. Tried several apps and rice. Adequate nothing special. It's been there for years I don't live in the area but my curiosity got the best of me and I tried it. Was ok. Nothing worth driving to for me. Very friendly family local small business. read more

Their food could be improved, it tasted ok, but not the best on the area. I think if they put some effort they could improve the taste.

Tried fior the first time....AND LAST. VERY DISSAPOINTED. Dumplings over cooked ...very little chicken in the lo neiin Even w extra soy sauce rasteless read more

Great food. Always consistent. Happy to have them close to home as we can walk there. They are always nice and helpful.

Mr pans consistently hits! Best take out chinese place around. The general tsos, orange chicken lo mein and dumplings are all me and my families go to's. read more

The food awesome. The rice is just as good as China Village in Westerly RI (older folks would know)

Great Chinese food especially for a very small take out restaurant. Not really a dine in place but definitely will come back when I want takeout again. Thanks Mr Pan. read more

Pretty good spot for American Chinese food. The food taste has changed a lot since 2008. More recently- their chicken wings dont have that chinese/cantonese flavor with the yellow grease anymore. There isnt much flavor to their chicken... Their crab ragoons r smaller but still with the same wonton skin. Foods always ready in 15mins. I dont eat other commecialized forms of cantonese food from takeout places, but my friend who lives locally like their orange and general tsao chicken. read more

Local FB page raved about this place. We figured it was worth trying. Food was hot and tasted okay. Disappointed that there was a piece of plastic in the pork fried rice, luckily I noticed immediately and didn't swallow it. The piece of plastic was a corner of a packet of soy or duck sauce, that leads me to believe they could be recycling rice from other customers. Otherwise they use those individual packets to season their rice, which seems unlikely considering cost of packaging. Won't be headed back as food was not as good as our usual place that is five minutes from our home. read more

Not a fan of their food. With most Americanized Chinese restaurants you know what to expect, it's quick, easy, usually not the healthiest but great for busy nights. However, this was my first experience ever with a Chinese restaurant where I felt the food to be inedible. I hate leaving bad reviews but this restaurant is just a no for me. read more

I love this place has the best Chinese food around. It's the only place I go even though they don't offer delivery service it is well worth it read more

Nice, fast service, and good food. I had the String Bean with Garlic Sauce, which comes with white rice. It was sweet and nicely spicy. read more

Just got veggie Ramen and beef Ramen because we heard good things about this place. It's no good , barely anything in the Ramen besides noodles and pretty tasteless , Never go back there again . I'd rather eat the microwave stuff from the market read more

Best Chinese food anywhere near this area. The food is always hot and fresh. This place has been consistent for years. Would recommend: chicken teriyaki sticks, shrimp lo mein, general tsos If Mr. Pan is real.. someone better give that dude a high five. read more

I had the steamed dumplings last night and either I've never had them before, or I have and they were different- the steamed dumplings were FANTASTIC, fresh and made in-house. they did not have a thin wrap like you would find at an authentic dim sum, more thicker/ dough-esque, but they were great. read more

Good people and good food. Mr. Pan's has the best Chinese around, sometimes they slip up and the portion sizes change or an ingredient is different but when it comes to reliability and reputation this place is still king of the mountain. The food is always hot, warm, and fresh and the owners are friendly and polite. I actually walked there to get some Wanton soup during a blizzard one time because power had gone out and I wanted something to warm me up. read more

By far, the best Chinese restaurant in Norwich. Mostly a takeout place (there are like 2 little tables). I recommend calling ahead to place the order. Food is usually ready in 10-20 minutes. Pricing is good, selection (vegetarian options, keto options, steamed/healthy options) is great, food is excellent. Worth an extra few minutes drive! read more

Absolutely love this place!! I always order the steamed dumplings or wanton soup, garlic chicken and the general tsao's chicken. They are quick and inexpensive. Very little parking in the back and front of the building, but spots open quickly as the service is pretty quick. You can also see into the kitchen, which is a fun aspect to see the food be made. Will always return here!! read more

Food was good, now no idea what's going on at that place. Last few times been there, food just did not taste right

I love their dumplings and get them and their fried rice weekly! They know I love spice and eggs so they always make my fried rice spicy and with Extra egg. Trust me... tell them you want extra egg and your fried spicy and you will thank me. read more

Love this place have not had anything bad. If you are craving some good old comfort food this does the trick for me! Delicious! Great on a cheat day! read more

best chinese food in the area, been ordering from here for 10+ years and they've never failed us all the tofu dishes are amazing for vegans

Mr. Pan is the best food Chinese food I've ever had! I don't usually like Chinese food but when I do it's Mr.pans!!

I recently moved from Florida back to Connecticut and was really excited to get some good Chinese and pizza. Let me tell you that Mr. Pan's is the absolute best Chinese place I've ever had. We love it and find their combos to be much more creative than other places. Hopefully once this Coronavirus situation is over they will reopen. read more

The outside of this place is sketchy at best- once inside I was amazed at how clean it was. You can see kitchen from counter and everything sparkles and shines- the cleanest Chinese restaurant I've ever been in. Food was good fried rice, crab Rangoon, chicken lo mein ( my daughter was disappointed because it had mushrooms) garlic chicken were what we ordered- everything was good- def recommend the crab Rangoon read more

Meal portions are generous and our take out order was awesome and done in less than 15 min. Great take out place.

Great Chinese food! They serve you through a take out window so you don't even have to go into the building.

Food is good and prices reasonable. The staff is efficient and a large order takes about 15-20 minutes to cook.

I live close and they are the only Chinese restaurant I will order from. No delivery but its worth the trip there. The dumplings are good, I prefer them fried. read more

foods great! love there pu pu plater small out of the way place , you wouldn't believe how good the food is. read more

I get take out from here. The food is good, and it doesnt give me diarrhea. I have diarrhea all the time, because my butthole hates me, but when I eat here my turds are normal. read more

Not sure if I was here on a bad day or what. Ordered Gen Zso chick - Wife ordered beef broccolli. we shared a hot and sour soup and egg-fu-yung. tasteless, all so very tasteless. The food LOOKED incredible, bright, artisticlly cut, great presentation but it had no flavor. NONE. I can't say it tasted bad because there was no actual taste. /shrug. Not to offend anyone giving this place five stars, but you really need to branch out more. read more

No idea if Mr Pan is an actual person but if he is I'd let him bang your sister for making food this good!

Best Chinese around Norwich area. Everything is made fresh the atmosphere inside is clean and the staff is always helpful. A place your order will always be correct! Pricing is approachable for the portion size you receive. read more

We ordered an insane amount of takeout and everything was delicious everything from the chicken wings, shrimp fried rice, crab rangoons, orange chicken and the soups! This family of 6 had food for 3 days! This is our new go to door for good Chinese food. I wish I could give it an extra star for being clean read more

I left a review 4 years ago saying they were average. I change my mind! After eating at more Chinese places around here, I say hands down THE BEST rice egg rolls, and crab Rangoon you will find. We moved half an hour away and still come back here for Chinese. Also their food is always the same, you don't go some days its good and some days its bad like other places in the area. Its always good! read more

Definitely the best Chinese food in this area! We have tried other places and none are as good as Mr Pans. Consistently good food every time we order. Highly recommended. read more

There aren't too many places to get Chinese in this area. This place serves standard Chinese American fare, but gets an extra star for actually being clean! read more
