They have large portions. The bbq pork is really good. We also like their chow mein. I've also had the war won ton many times and it's fresh. read more

Another try of Simi Valley eateries. Sort of a rushed decision so we made our way in. Steamed veggies, chow mein, Kung pao chicken, beef, orange chicken, and Japanese chicken. A good menu mix. Sweet young server that waited on us and a clean interior as we waited for our takeout order. But unfortunately, everything was quite average taste wise. We have no desire to return. read more

Ordered a plate of orange chicken and jalopeno chicken with noodles for 15$ and barely even got any meat, also I door dashed it. Hard pass on this place. read more

This place is pretty decent. I have been a few times to get the orange chicken and fried rice which tastes good but always leaves my stomach hurting! They stack up the plate so you definitely get a bank for your buck but stomach aches in return! My friends have also had the same issue but nonetheless we all agree it still tastes good! Go at your own risk for sure! read more

New Panda - Chinese Near Me - Simi Valley, California

I come here when I'm planning on sitting for a few hours to play video games and want a fat plate of food that will last me awhile. I usually grab noodles, some sort of chicken (like teriyaki chicken) and then sweet and sour pork. The container is usually pretty well packed so you get quite a bit of food. As far as ambiance goes, I've gone here on and off for maybe 15 years and it always looks the same - very "hole in the wall", which is really all I expect from it. read more

Fairly decent food sitting around in heated trays. Typical Chinese fast food, maybe slightly better than some, but nothing beats freshly prepared. When in a hurry this place works for us. A nice change from burgers or nuggets. read more

New Panda is the best for that quick Chinese food fix. Generous portions and great flavoring. Love their orange chicken and beef and broccoli. read more

Food is absolutely amazing, slightly dirty around the place but none the less great food. Service is okay and would definitely recommend to try out sometime. read more

This place used to be really good 10 years ago I don't know what happened to this restaurant they completely let it go. The quality of the food has gone downhill! The employees are rude. The restaurant is very dirty and not to mention T-Mobile is currently doing renovations next door because theirs a rat infestation currently at New Panda. I'm completely surprised this restaurant is still open. read more

Very good panda has great food clean and lots of different foods food good service Great

I'm not sure why this place has low stars, but it's amazing. The flavor is 100% there. I order tofu every time, and I have never been disappointed. The chef/ owner is amazing and always eager for you to try new flavors. I accidently discovered this place a few months ago, and I can't get enough. I have stopped going to any other Chinese place after trying this. Oh, the portions are plentiful as well. I wouldn't recommend eating in the restaurant as the place is not tidy. read more

New Panda - Noodles and black pepper tofu - Chinese Near Me - Simi Valley, California

4.5 stars (+) First of all, the servings are generous, almost uncomfortably too much at first but once you try the food... you ask yourself why can't these portions be the norm at other places? And isn't it fun to see if they can still close the boxes after? :) (+) Bbq pork is totally worth the extra charge. That tender glistening red colored meat can't be found anywhere else nearby that I know of. And you really can't go wrong with any of the chicken options... from orange to zesty to I think the Japanese style one. (+) They cook up fast if low or missing a particular standard item. Just ask and wait patiently for a few minutes and you'll get some of the next fresh batch! (+) From my personal experience with the staff, it's always been kosher. Maybe there is an individual worker that's been deserving of some recent negative reviews, but usually I've seen the Asian chef (so it's legit right?), maybe he's the owner, in the back doing his thing in the kitchen. The young women cashier and servers in front grind too to take orders and help you get your food. Having said that, there may be off days and stressful bad days for folks on either side of the food counter... everyone is going through something. I also can't imagine the random crazies and rude people that food service has to encounter on the daily. Empathy and respect goes a long way in general, but esp for the food industry. (-) Only knock I can think of is the inside is janky, but it is what it is. Frfr... if it was too clean, then you know the Chinese food woudn't be that great! read more

My 6'5" nephew (with a matching appetite) loves this place because you get a LOT for your money. The food is amazing, tasty, and delicious if fresh. My nephew makes me accompany him whenever I'm over to visit and attest to the deliciousness when fresh. We've had staler/older food a couple times and it wasn't so good. All dishes are appetizing and with extremely generous portions. We were there once when the own was present and he's a chill guy. Some of the cashiers need a lesson in customer service however. read more

I really hate to say this, but this by far the worst imitation asian food I've ever had. :/ Their fried rice is mush, their chowmein is below standard (even for fast food asian food) and their entrees are bland. I can bypass the messy interior of the store because I typically take things to go, but let me tell you, this food is just really bad. I took no more than 3 bites, and threw my whole combo plate in the trash. I'll take my $10+ loss and move on but I'm very much disappointed. read more

First off I want to mention that my Togo order sat at home for about an hour before I rate it. ( FYI ) I walk-in for a Togo order I ordered orange chicken with 1/2 and 1/2 rice and chow. The orange chicken had a good flavor. Nice and crispy Tho there were some chewy parts. The rice was GOOD. Nice moist and fluffy. The noodles were tasty too! Not to greasy but just enough oil for flavor. Over all everything services,food , and customer services was good. Just wish I stayed in and take my food fresh and hot. The ambiance was cute. Typical small Chinese food vibe. There's a number of small table if you want to eat there. read more

For me when I'm craving some Chinese food & I don't want to wait in long lines at Panda Express... pshhh this place is just as good! Just get the half chow mein half fried rice with Orange Chicken & Zesty Chicken & BAM! You're good! I love this place cuz they give nice portions for a good price! Being from Simi I like supporting the local businesses & the owner is nice! Orange Chicken & Zesty Chicken, can't go wrong! I might try the Terriyaki Chicken next time, that looked pretty good too! read more

I hate writing this review. I just went and picked up my dinner and only 1 out of 4 people behind the counter were wearing masks (the cook wasn't even wearing a mask) and no one was wearing gloves. Seems to be under new ownership, which is a shame because it looks dirty and very run down. I used to come here back in the 90s when it opened and it was AMAZING. I threw the food in the trash and got Panera instead. Will not be coming back. read more

This Chinese restaurant (mom and pop restaurant) was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!! For $10.00 I got a Amazing Feast for 2! The Owner Michael was Soooo extremely sweet and let me sample his delicious food.

My buddy Mike recently moved to Simi. We both like Chinese food so he recommended New Panda. After the 10 minute drive to get there, I saw from the outside of the place your nondescript, run-of-the-mill cheap, Chinese place in a typical strip mall. What awaited me was nothing ordinary at all. The first thing I noticed was that each entree looked fresh. Usually, any Panda Express type place has a tray of food that's been sitting out for a while. Everything looking fresh here was definitely a plus. I got the 2 item combo which was reasonably priced. I ordered fried rice and noodles to start. The portions were enormous! I chose Mushroom Chicken and Kung Pao Chicken. Each looked good, and again, huge portions! I started with the fried rice. The flavor was outstanding. I'm not sure what they added to the rice to make it taste that way, but it was moist, flavorful, and damned good. The Van powah noodles. were standard fare Chinese noodles. Good flavor. The mushroom chicken had lots of big chunks of mushrooms and chicken. The sauce it was mixed with was good as well. The chicken was slightly overcooked but tasty. The Kung Pao chicken was very mild. It was ok but nothing to write home about. It did, as other yelpers reported, have a lot of celery in it. It wasn't bad, there were just too many of them. Overall, this was a great meal. The huge portions, the tasty food, and the affordable price tag make New Panda a place I would definitely return to. Good job Mike. You picked a great place to have lunch. read more

The food is soggy. Place is a little dirty I won't be going back anymore. Service was so so.

When my sister asked if I wanted to eat here, I was a little hesitant. I have been vegan for almost a year and haven't had Chinese food since. This is mostly because I heard that panda express put chicken flavoring in everything and I didn't really want to risk it. However, I figured I would go in, see what they have, and run to Del Taco if I needed too. The second I walked in, it looked like a family owned restaurant. It wasn't terrible, but it definitely wasn't even as "high class" as even McDonald's. The tables weren't anything special, they were using some of the dining room for storage, and overall, it just looked old. But hey, some of the best food comes from hole-in-the-wall places, so not judging. Now, I've seen some of the reviews on here mentioning the service, but the employee who helped me was outstanding! I asked if their chow mein or fried rice was vegan, she informed me that they were not. My hopes weren't high, but i was a little disappointed. However, then she informs me that they have plain white. I said yes, but wasn't too excited because I could literally just go home and make my own white rice. But then, she also asks me if I would like 'orange tofu' (like orange chicken, but with tofu). That's where they got me. I was so excited I could hardly wait! When I got home and started to eat, I realised what a great choice it was. The portion size was huge, the rice was good, and the tofu was great! Granted, it wasn't the best thing I ever ate (hence the 4 stars) , but it was still pretty dang good. read more

Spent 65 dollars tonight to have my order messed up. I ordered 4 two entree plates and two were messed up. I even double checked and asked if they gave me a specific item and they said yes. I also ordered 2 order cream cheese Rangoon's which should be 12 pieces and they gave me 5.5 pieces, so not even one order. The food was old and stale as well. I also asked for mustard and double checked by asking again if they gave It to me and they did not. Yikes. I will not return here at all and I will be informing people about the quality. read more

Way too small portions for the price!!! It used to be a better place to get Chinese food .

Tasty and cheap! I got the orange chicken and broccoli beef. Both were great, broccoli beef was my favorite. Serving size is generous and staff is very friendly. I paid around $10 for this two item combo. An extra dollar or two for the spring rolls. Worth checking out if you feel like some quick and tasty Chinese food for a reasonable price! read more

I should have taken a photo. I wasn't intending to write a review but yelp asked me too. $15 for chicken fried rice is absolutely ridiculous!!!! The woman only filled the larger portion of the 3 part square styrofoam container with rice and sent it to the back to add chicken. I received my container with rice on the front part and 2 empty sections next to it. I was better off ordering a 2 item combo with fried rice and 2 chicken options. Never again! Lost my business. read more

Excellent orange chicken and great service. I like coming here because the food is always hot and fresh

the food is disgusting, the restaurant is dirty. im surprised they are still open. someone needs to report them.

Came in 4 nights ago. There was a woman (host maybe?) at the front wearing purple leggings and black boots. She was arguing with a guest then was immediately rude to a postmates driver. I overheard her tell a co-worker to not worry about the postmates order. When the woman there for postmates asked if it was going to be much longer the woman in purple replied, "If you want to argue you can leave." We ended up walking back out. Whoever that employee is, she should not be working with people. read more

The orange chicken that I ordered was delivered and it didn't even resemble orange chicken. It was a very dark red color, no breading, and no orange flavor. It was swimming in oil too. I must say however that it didn't taste bad, but it's not what I ordered. The egg rolls were flavorless and mushy inside. The spicy garlic shrimp plate my husband ordered lacked flavor and was overflowing with juice - like a soup. Again, it didn't taste bad, but for the total tab of $50, not good. read more

I would say 5 stars on the portion. Food and taste wise.. very bland fried rice and chow mein. May need extra soy sauce and hot sauce to do the job. Not planning on going back. Drop a comment if I am missing on some good food off the menu. Service was up to par since it was not that busy read more

Great food! Simple, clean and tasty. I believe most of the bad reviews are about serving or bad customer service not food and i was right!!

The Good: The food here is good I must say. The hot chicken wings are very tasty as well as the Mongolian Beef. They always always are playing good music here lol. The portions are also generous The Bad: The price is a little high compared to most Chinese food joints. And they are very sticky with the napkins and condiments which is very annoying. The place dirty on Sunday's The Ugly: The service. The lady in the picture that I include is very rude to say the least. They need to keep her in the back and ostracized from the paying customers. Must you be that mean lady! read more

I absolutely love New Panda for buffet style Asian Food! The food is always hot, fresh, and delicious. I will hands down pick this place over Panda Express any day of the week!

Watch out in the parking lot though because people fly through it. Bonus points you can pick up frozen yogurt for dessert right next door. read more
