I've stopped in at New Panda for quick lunches several times whenever I was in the mood for some good Chinese takeout at reasonable prices. This strip plaza eatery is very casual, which is an order at the counter place with open kitchen and a few tables for eating in. The menu offerings include the standard Chinese dishes/items including several Cantonese, Hunan, Szechuan, and Mandarin special dishes. 20 Daily Luncheon Specials served with pork fried rice and soup or soda ($5.30-$5.65) and 24 Special Combination Dinners served with pork fried rice and egg roll ($6.80-$8.30) are offered. The prices here are reasonable, most dishes/items priced under $11. On my last two visits to New Panda, I ordered the L8 Chicken Lo Mein ($5.50 plus tax) with Pork Fried Rice and Hot & Sour Soup, which is my favorite lunch special here. The portion of hot food is generous for the price, which means I can get about three lite lunches out of this order. The lo mein noodles are cooked just right and tossed with tender soft chicken pieces with a mix of vegetables (cabbage, carrots, onions). The fried rice (light yellow color) has a firm texture with scallions, red pepper, and small pieces of roast pork (minimal fat). The hot & sour soup has a nice mild spicy flavor with a good mix of whipped egg, vegetables, bean curd, bamboo shoots, pork, & spices. The place is quite busy here during the lunch rush. My food is usually ready in about 5-10 minutes and I'm back on the road in no time! DELIVERY ($12 minimum) read more

Quick and great! The spring rolls and egg rolls were the best I have ever had! We also had pork fried rice. More than enough for 2 people! Reasonable! read more

Very disappointed in this take out restaurant. I've been ordering from them for many years and have been satisfied with their food and prices. With today's order I wasn't paying much attention to the final cost (my bad) but, bottom line, they charged me a delivery charge for an order over $20.00, The $2.00 isn't going kill me financially, however I think this was very sneaky and disrespectful. Thet have lost my future business. read more

Solidly average Chinese takeout. Fried dumplings were very greasy and the dough was very thin. Wonton soup was barely warm and nothing special. Hard to find the restaurant no matter which direction you're coming from. read more

Above average and Typical chinese fair. Predictable, cheap, always fresh, no complaints. What I like is the kitchen is wide open, you can see everything going on, it's clean, vegetables are bright and vibrant. As I said above average, made to order chinese food! Check it out! read more

The food is good! It has fast service! The price is amazing for the food you get. Just not take out! But very nice! I will be going again!

Vegetarian diet food I just had the absolute best food that Ive had since the pandemic started. Delicious! Negatives first...I am a vegetarian and dont like to eat much fatty food. So, maybe, if you're the same, but stricter , you might not want to cross those lines. They probably use the same oil to cook meat as the items I got, and it's fried food, so it's got fat. I'm not sure. I didn't ask. In spite of that, saying it again, I just had the absolute best food that Ive had since the pandemic started. Delicious! I got vegetable chow maifun, but with tofu instead of the other options, steamed vegetable dumplings, and a vegetable egg roll. The chow mai fun isn't on the menu with tofu, but they substituted the one with shrimp. I got this yesterday. I still have the egg roll. It was a lot of food! Really good food. And I think I might indulge a lot more often now. I got delivery. It was quick, and it's a lot less expensive than any other online deliveries I've gotten. Give it a try. They have other steamed vegetarian options, too. read more

Very good Chinese food here, typical takeout spot. Cheap food but so good. Its filling and everything tasted great. Definitely a good spot for Chinese! read more

Standard Chinese takeout/delivery. Extremely consistent. Very quick with delivery. Very accurate with orders and we've never been charged if we substitute this or that. Never had an order get messed up either. We frequent this place on nights when it's getting too late to cook or we are just too wiped out from the day. read more

Great prices for a good food and large portions. The egg rolls are delicious. The food is always hot when I pick it up so I don't have to worry about warming it up when I get home. read more

Food lacked in flavor. Vegguebfri3d rice tasted like plain white rice. General tso's chicken had no spice. Chicken was not seasoned well.

I had a craving for take out Chinese food. I normally avoid going to Asian restaurants in cities that do not have a large Asian population, since they are usually full of Americanized Asian restaurants (which can be good or bad depending on what you're expecting). I stopped by here hoping they would have Beef Chow Fun, which is my favorite Chinese dish. A lot of Americanized Chinese restaurants do not offer Beef Chow Fun, so I was extremely happy to discover that New Panda did have it. The portion size (as with most Chinese restaurants) was enormous -- basically it was 3 regular sized portions, so I had plenty of leftovers to save for the following day's lunch and dinner. The Beef Chow Fun was better than average, which was about as good as I can expect from a place in Latham, NY. I don't think I'd ever want to actually eat in at this place... though, they do have a few tables and it's not as dirty as some other Chinese take out places. The kitchen area in the back is wide open for everyone to see, which is kinda neat. I've always been fascinated by how quickly Chinese restaurants are able to whip up their food. Also, I appreciate that they are not afraid to let people see what goes on in the back. They also let me use my credit card for my $8 order and did not give me grief about it, which I appreciated. read more

Why do I bother? I know better than to order from Chinese Take-Out. I KNOW BETTER. And yet, I found myself craving shrimp and broccoli (Boring, I know - but I LOVE broccoli and shrimp is a pretty safe bet since pork, chicken and beef at Chinese Take-Out places is usually some pounded out unrecognizable particle board meat.) I read Peter's review and thought . . Beef Chow Fun? Sounds fun. I have had shrimp Chow fun before at a place in Catskill and it was pretty decent. So, I went with Peter's recommendation and ordered the Beef Chow Fun and Shrimp and Broccoli. It was ready in . . you guessed it . . 10 minutes I live about 7 minutes away and it was blazing hot when I got it home. Shrimp and Broccoli: Broccoli was mush. That made me sad. Very very sad. I hate mushy broccoli. Know, I know what you're thinking . . you are saying "But you ordered it to go, you knuckle head! That's why it's mushy") But you are wrong. Plenty of places, much further away, have managed to figure out how to under cook the broccoli so that it stays crunchy. TOO much sauce. My fried rice (Ordered the combo meal) was swimming in sauce, like soup. Although the little bit of rice that was not wet tasted decent . . the fact that 95% of my rice was swimming . . made it inedible. The sauce itself had ZERO taste. Points for being not salty . . but there was no taste at all. The shrimp were also MUSHY. . so they were either very old or had been refrozen and defrosted many many times. I ate one shrimp and bit off a piece from another . . both so mushy that I refuse to eat any more. After about 5 bites: I THREW THIS IN THE TRASH Beef Chow Fun: Although I trust Peter's judgement and believe he probably did enjoy his dish - mine was awful. I did expect that pounded out particle board beef stuff . . so I don't deduct any points for getting that in my dish. The noodled were ok . . . but again no flavor. It was as if they used the very same sauce from my Shrimp and Broccoli. After three bites of this . . IN THE TRASH The only saving grace: The egg roll was crispy and not too bad. Don't get me wrong - I don't have high expectations when ordering Chinese Take Out. But I do expect to be able to gag it donwn . . instead of throwing it out. read more

Greatest place ever I go here everything's me the cats bus is in that area can't get me enough of the crab Rangoon's and boneless red meat Dam that's so good shit read more

Better than most in my opinion. I mean it is a Chinese restaurant, limited seating mostly deliver and pick up. Like anyone you can find in your neighborhood.,but it's just a little better read more

Was disappointed that they didn't deliver when I'm only 4.6 miles away, but the quality was worth making the drive myself. My standard chicken lo mein and steamed dumplings were delightful, and from walking in to walking out, it was only about 10 minutes, which is a great turnaround during dinnertime on a Friday, so kudos to them for their great service! read more

General Tso's and the Eggroll had absolutely NO taste. When I got there ladies was very rude when I ask a question, and still never answered me. If it wasn't for my father that wanted Chinese I would have told them to take their food and shove it up their asshole. I don't even want to give them a full star. This place is a joke. read more

This has to be the favorite Chinese in the area. I come here at least a few times a month. I have never had anything bad from the menu. Beef and broccoli is probably my favorite and they have a really good fried rice. It's a must-have if you are in the area. read more

This place is always consistent I have moved and they still go out of there way to deliver to me and continue to provide quality food with quality service! The best Chinese takeout in the capital region! read more

Great take out Chinese food. Delivery is normally unbelievable fast. Food is always hot and portions are large.

The best steamed dumplings I have ever eaten, including visits to Chinatown in DC and NYC. They are the perfect balance of thin noodle and flavored meat. We also like the pork fried rice. Yum! read more

First time here, the smell walking in was awesome. Clean, people are immediately friendly and the food is really tasty. Price decent for lunch, plenty of food! There are a few tables so you can sit to eat here if you like. read more

Great food and service. The vegetable lo mein and fried rice were delicious. The vegetable fried dumplings were good, but I've had better. Great prices! I will be back! read more

Ive been coming here for America Chinese food for about 6 years. The staff is usually friendly to deal with and the service is speedy. I have tried the fried scallops, fried chicken wings, boneless spare ribs, and the donuts. i love that they have the condiments (duck & soy sauce) out on the table for customers to grab. Nothing annoys me more than ordering food for 6 people and being given two of each sauce as if that will suffice. Anywho, I suggest going in to pick up your food because the only time that I have had an issue with an order was when I had it delivered. read more

Stopped in at supper time to get some quick takeout. I remembered it as being a good place for lunches. I (and dinner partner) were terribly disappointed with the flavor snd quality. The Szechuan chicken was flabby, pale, tasteless-- certainly NOT spicy. The roast pork wi oyster sauce was equally flabby and tasteless and remarkably similar to the chicken dish! Bleaahh! Not going again! I don't quite understand all the glowing reviews. read more

There was a long black hair in my hot and sour soup, I had it in my mouth! That was really gross. I almost threw up after that. Our family didn't like them at all. We ordered 2 dim sum, 2 small hot and sour soup and wonton and egg drop soup,1 general TSO chicken, and 1 Sesami chicken. It was really wasting my money. read more

Good portion sizes, ready very quickly. A bit expensive, we ordered 2 combination dinners, one sesame chicken and one beef with broccoli both with white rice. Both were very tasty and not too salty! Staff was very friendly and got us in and out very quick. read more

All their dishes are really good , fast delivery and easy pick up. The hot and sour soup is fantastic!

most chinese food tends to be cheap garbage in my opinion. new panda is different. fresh broccoli that isn't over cooked, good sliced chicken in their dishes. Unlike most places, when you order General Tso chicken, you actually can taste the chicken and not just skin and breading....its a solid chinese place, you won't be thrilled, but you likely won't dislike anything you order either. been going here for years. read more
