Avg Americanized Chinese food with a friendly staff. Chicken in general tso and sesame chicken is quite chewy. Lo mein is done as you'd expect. Dumplings tasted homemade and had good flavor. Teriyaki beef sticks were the hit of the night. Chicken with garlic sauce is good and would recommend. Beef and broccoli was also tasty. Fried rice was average. read more

We tried it again. Much better. Food was much better. Egg roll was fairly bland but everything else was good and good the next day leftovers. Not the best Chinese take out I've ever had but it's a good, solid, last minute Chinese take out place. We will order from here again read more

good food and variety to choose from. love the bone in ribs kid behind register is a bit young to be working and doesn't understand customers. forgot my egg rolls in order button far to go back read more

Been getting takeout from here for years. It's a fairly typical takeout place which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Not really the kind of place you want to sit down and eat in but the food is good, no real complaints there. Decent prices and friendly cashier. Orders are quick usually ready in 10 minutes. Plus I don't think they've ever screwed up my order. I have no qualms recommending this place for good, basic Chinese takeout. read more

This is basically a takeout spot in a small mall on the outskirts of town. There are a couple of tables, but the restaurant is dingy and takeout oriented. There's a weird vibe here - probably left over from Covid where there's a giant plexiglass screen across the entire front counter they want you to order by phone, even when in the restaurant. I ordered ahead, was told 10 minutes, and the food was ready when i arrived. The girl on the phone and filling my order was pleasant and cordial. BUYER BEWARE - the Yelp page says they take cards - and they do - with a $20 MINIMUM order. Luckily I had cash on me, so it didn't become a big issue. I ordered the General Tso's chicken lunch special with fried rice and a side of shrimp toast. The general's was cooked well and tasted good. It was not overly sweet or spicy, and the was a nice amount of broccoli with it. The fried rice was good as well, cooked fresh with nice bits of pork in it. The portion size is large and reasonable at the price point. The shrimp toast, however, was fried to fuck. It was burnt and crunchy and a big miss for me. I could tell the basic flavor WOULD have been nice, if it were cooked properly, but unfortunately it was not. All told, this is a better than average Chinese takeout that i would return to. 3.5 stars read more

Overall the quality of food is pretty poor and the service is nothing to speak of . All the dishes we had ordered have a heavy oil taste and lack of flavor . I wish I could say one positive thing but honestly there was nothing I could come up with other than the order was ready when they said it would be . read more

Was a bit reluctant due to location and appearance of inside of restaurant. Primarily take out with a few tables inside this small strip center. However, the food is very good, reasonable and ample portions. The choices are endless and it appears the family run business strives for excellence in food preparation and politeness. The wonton soup and shrimp rolls are terrific! If looking for a local Chinese take out, give them a try. read more

This is the best chinese food in all of NJ I love everything they make! All the food is hot and delicious. I'm hungry for it again read more

First time! So far so good. The food was flavorful and not greasy. Okay, well, the egg rolls were kinda greasy but really good anyway.

Great food, brilliant service I like the ambiance Amazing place in general! The food taste fresh and they give huge portions for the money you pay so it is 100% worth your money. read more

Ordered Kung Pao chicken, broccoli with chicken, and spare ribs. Chicken and ribs were dry and tasted bland. Not sure why. Cooked early and reheated? There are better places with tastier food. read more

They are back open!!!! We are very relieved that Panda has returned. The moo shu pork is amazing. I tried the garlic chicken the other day. Was outstanding. They are very quick and pickup is easy. Oh and great wonton too. Super happy they're back. read more

This is the second and last time I'll try this place. First time I couldn't even eat what I ordered - it was that bad. And it was just fried rice and dumplings, which are typically good everywhere. Tonight I figured I'd give them a second chance since they are in town and seem to be busy. Pork fried dumplings were soggy, tasted old and maybe reheated in the microwave? Lo mein was just edible. Fortune cookies were beyond stale. And in place of the typical fried chips I got a bag with a soiled, dried out and scrunched up wet wipe inside?! read more

It's consistently up to par. The only things I've had here that I really don't like are the seafood and bean curd soups. Hot and sour and wonton are both really good. The tofu dishes are surprisingly decent too. The staff is always pleasant. They are accommodating when you want to make changes to your order. Chicken and broccoli is always a nice option, and so is kung pao chicken. The cheese wontons are awesome, and they give you a ton of them. read more

Honestly, _exactly_ what I was looking for for a neighborhood Chinese carry-out. Will be back, often.

This is a typical Chinese-American counter order/takeout type of place. Nothing fancy but the food is pretty solid. We get takeout from here maybe once a month. We usually get broccoli/meat dishes, sesame chicken, egg rolls, and wonton soup. Tried the Chow Fun today for the first time and it was perfect. The ribs were good too. I just really wish they delivered! read more

We just found out that Panda Bistro reopened after being devastated by Hurricane Ida in 2022 so stopped by to make that long awaited order. Took the menu out to the car to order via phone and was so excited to see everything I loved. When I got home with my very heavy bag my husband asked if I left anything for the rest of Lambertville! The food was better than ever! So happy and well fed once again! Can't wait to finish the leftovers and order next week! read more

Food was ok at best. Staff was fine. Inside (ambiance) is dumpy. Would not recommend.

This is a great spot for inexpensive Chinese food. We've ordered at least a dozen times and every time our order has been 100% accurate, hot and fresh. We like the Crab Rangoon and the combo platters are a great value. read more

What a disappointment. Was really happy it had reopened after a long period of closure after the Ida flood, but something in the kitchen has clearly changed during that time. We ordered the same things we always get, and ended up throwing almost all of it away. I am typically forgiving of average take-out food for low cost , but there was no forgiving this. Won't be back. read more

Only take out orders but I've gone there many times. The food is always good and the portions are huge. General Chicken is as good as it gets. I don't have enough time to list everything we had but let's just say - everything we've ever ordered has been terrific. I don't hand out 5 stars easily read more

This place is a hit or miss. Some days the food is excellent then another day is real bad especially bbq spare ribs 99% are to old reheated.

Best egg rolls and lomein I've had in such a long time! Very nice family owns and runs the place. Great food and the people couldn't be nicer. read more

Best general tsos tofu I've ever had. Eaten here many many many times. Also best white rice ever

Been supporting this local gem since they opened around 8-9 years ago. While there have been some flukes with food here and there I couldn't be more happy that a local Chinese food place opened so close by! read more

Portions are large and prices very reasonable. Usually on time with the order as we come from New Hope. Just make sure the woman understands the order. There has been mix ups where we had to go back. Well prepared not overly greasy as some are. If you are expecting gourmet Chinese for your taste palette though, this is not the place. Big portions, good price, not fancy. Reminds me of take outs in Flushing, Queens where I go often enough. read more

Ordered food. Told 15 min. Waited 20 to leave the house which is 10 min away. Then sat for another 20 min and food is still not done. People that walked in after I got here ordered and got their food before me. This happens very often and I'll never be back again since it seems like it's every time we order food here. Don't eat Chinese food often but every time there is an issue. Done giving this place chances. Call placed at 6:45 food ready at 7:32 but was told 15 min. Lmfao read more

Very solid take-out. Huge portions for a good price and the people are very friendly.

So somebody had to step in and balance out the negative nancy... Panda Bistro is awesome (and no, I'm not affiliated). The old standbys are all great (particularly the chef special orange chicken, which is divine). Their house special won ton is also very nice. Prices are reasonable, less expensive than anywhere else within driving distance, and in my opinion the food is of a higher quality. Chin's in Doylestown is very meh, as is Sunny, as is the place in Pipersville. Ming up in New Britain was good but they're gone. Wing Lee in Warrington is better, but also farther than I'm willing to drive for Chinese lest I'm up that way seeing a movie or some such. So Panda Bistro FTW. I've been going since they opened back in 2012 (I think) and will continue to go so long as the food remains good and the service courteous. read more

Located in an old strip mall, but this place is Clean inside. General tso's is too breaded and I could barely taste any chicken. Egg roll was also not very good...didn't like the flavor. The Fried rice was just ok. In general, I likely won't return. read more

As far as Chinese take out restaurants go this one is a definite keeper. Every week I go and try something different and there are always tons of leftovers. Excellent value and food quality. So far my favorite has been the Singapore noodles. read more

Excellent Chinese food and nice size portions. I've been to many Chinese food restaurants and this is one of the best. I've ordered over nine items and very pleased with all of them. read more

All I have to say is their won ton soup is amazing! It's full of big chunky pieces that are delicious. Tried their vegetable rolls and they were pretty average, not nearly as amazing as the soup though. I Haven t had anything else yet so that's why I gave it four stars. I am interested to try some of their other offerings! read more

Considering the options for Chinese food is pretty limited - This is the best chinese we have had here in a long time. Fu Li was always so expensive for moderate to Ehhh chinese. They were always so stingy on the fortune cookies too. I have liked the shrimp and veges here. My kids like the egg rolls and so far every dish we have tried has been pretty good. I wouldn't say this is the end all be all of Chinese. However consider supply and demand. This place is good. B+ read more

Not very good. The New Hope Chinese is much better - Hong Kong Jack's. This place needs to step it up greatly in its preparation. Thick, doughy dumplings. Gelatinous hot and sour soup. Not at all savory or well prepared. read more

Just dropped in for General Tso lunch special. This dish was absolutely disgusting. The chicken (if it was chicken) had no chicken taste whatsoever. And worse - it was the toughest, chewiest meat I have ever eaten. Imagine a leftover cut of chicken 2 weeks in the fridge, dropped into sauce and then fried. It was so tough, my jaws and my teeth hurt after 4 bites. I thought maybe it was just the smaller pieces. Nope - I worked my way through 4 pieces, sampling the larger ones in search of something edible. No luck. I am not sure how chicken this chewy could even be safe. Baking a breast on high at 500 degrees for 2 hours would result in some dry, tough chicken. It would at least be edible, and safe for dental work. This dish was not. Incidentally, it took 25 minutes for them to prepare this. The problem should not have been that I was eating something made earlier in the day, but who knows. read more

Food is good, however the wait is ridiculous, they tell you 15 to 20 minutes, go there after a half hour and wait another 15. Just tell me it will be an hour! And people calling you tell them 15-20 minutes too! Really? read more

Pretty good takeout for lunch. Not gourmet, but generous and flavorful. A few tables inside, but really a take out joint. Reasonably priced, big big portions (unusual for Lambertville/New Hope), and very very friendly service. The classic pepper steak with onion is very good, the sesame chicken better than passable, leftovers are virtually guaranteed, under $10 with a drink. I like it! read more
