I had a perfectly good take-out meal the other day. Highlights: -Open late enough to grab after a long-night of work. -HUGE portions - I had lunch the following day -Tasty - I had General Tso's Shrimp and enjoyed the spice without being blown-away. -Cost about $11 for a huge portion of food. Lowlights: -It was good, but this is carry-out Chinese - it's nothing mind-blowing. read more

We got carry-out from here and were not all that impressed. This is the second time we have ordered from Panda Cafe and the food is just so-so! read more

Really great for delivery. The crab Rangoon is obviously not hand made but you get a ton of them. The Kung pal doesn't have enough spice but that's par for most Chinese around here. Great speed though and no real complaints on the food. read more

This is my regular, local choice for Chinese take out. It's in a strip mall with convenient parking. It's no frills, but the quality is good and the service is quick and friendly. The vegetable fried rice is great, and so is the Kung Pao Tofu. read more

Excellent! Ordered 5 items for delivery and they were very quick. Delivery dude was very polite and food was very tasty. I had pork low mein, chicken fried rice, crab wontons, moo shi pork, and cashew chicken. I would highly recommend! read more

I'm very picky about my Chinese food take-out. My husband and I tried many options in Silver Spring, MD, without ever hitting on one that I liked. So what a surprise to find this gem once we moved to Arlington! Not only does it taste fabulous, there is no "bloated" feeling after we eat. My husband always gets General Tso's, and I always get Kung Pao Chicken. These have been so yummy, we have yet to try anything else. The accompanying fried rice and spring rolls are good, but it's really the entrees that keep us coming back. The service has always been respectful; we do take-out rather than delivery, and our food is always ready when we arrive. All in all, it's worth trying! We love this place!! read more

On a scale from grasshopper to dragon, I give this place a rat. I can count the number of times I haven't finished a meal in the past 10 years on one hand, and my order from Panda Cafe was one of them. read more

Definitely just another "cheap" Chinese restaurant. We needed a quick fix before heading out of town and this was the closest. Paid over $35 for just dumplings, fried rice, and sweet and sour shrimp (ended up being fried. We ate in and they gave us flimsy plastic forks. I've had better "cheaper" Chinese food. read more

Need a computer system so you don't have to keep giving them the same info. These people know me!!

Here's the deal. Good cheap Chinese takeout/delivery places are hard to come by at my place in Ballston. Sichuan Wok-Awful. Hunan Gate-Worse somehow. Panda cafe? Pretty darn tasty! It's a tad on the expensive side for what it is, but the drivers are friendly as is the lady who works the counter. Additionally, they delivered on Christmas Day! read more

I ordered the sesame chicken dinner special and was not impressed. The chicken was tasteless and the chicken fried rice tasted like shrimp. I will not be ordering food from them in the future. I recommend you pass and find something more satisfying. read more

As the description for 2 stars goes, "Meh. I've experienced better." Is this place a great value? Definitely. Large amount of food for the price. Will it satisfy a craving for decent chinese? No. It is more of a poor imitation. I tried this place because of the high rating, but I think that's due to the quantity, and not the quality. I'll keep searching for my go-to chinese take-out. read more

I have order two times at this place because reviews were good. I love the chicken brocoli, combination fried rice, steam dumplings and crab rangoon. The food is not grease, the chicken is clean and the taste is good. read more

Very impressed when i open my carry out with the generous portions. Everything tasted delicious.

This Chinese delivery place actually has General Tso's Tofu on the menu! Typically I spend 10 minutes explaining over the phone what I want when I try to order General Tso's Tofu, but this place gets it right. I also like the consistency of the General Tso's sauce. The spring rolls are wrapped too many times and end up being more roll than stuffing. The delivery service is fast and friendly. They have several coupons in their delivery menu that are useful if you are making a large order and want some free extra food. read more

Got the chicken egg foo foo young dinner combo and it was delicious! The spring roll was nice and crispy. The combo came with 2 egg foo young pieces, good size, full of veggies and good sized chicken and veggies, not greasy - very tasty! The chicken fried rice was great too! read more

Panda Cafe is my favorite Chinese food in this area. I have been there many times, I and love their food. The prices are cheaper than other places. read more

Just finished eating Panda Cafe. I was so surprised with this place. I recently moved to the area from New York and was itching for some chinese food. I saw the good reviews and decided to try it. I called this evening, the woman was very polite in taking my order and didnt rush me off the phone like others. Said delivery was going to take 45 minute which is normal because it was dinner time. Delivery took less than 30 and the delivery man was very nice. On to the food; it was nicely packed, and the food was very delicious. The portions were big because I was unable to finish haha. I will most definitely be ordering again. Sesame Chicken and Wonton Soup with Delivery $12.50 read more

Probably the best Chinese carryout in Arlington, at least that i've found. Delivery is quick and food is good!

The BEST Chinese in Arlington. Dialed to order delivery at 5:47. Driver called with my order at 5:57 - everything was on point.

Picked up cashew chicken, shrimp and snow peas, beef w brocolli, and Kung Pao chicken. Lots of food for the price. I like that. Food was pretty good, but my favorite dish (kung pao chicken) was not even close to authentic. I might get food here again, but more because cheap eats. read more

This is a nice, clean restaurant. Friendly, busy, busy atmosphere around evening time. Only a few small tables but suitable for a quick, enjoyable meal. Much of their business seems to be in take-out and delivery. read more

The Lo mein,Hot crispy Beef,General Tso's Chicken ans spring rolls are GREAT. Also have tried shrimp dishes--large and many with dish and House special fried rice is good. Also with amount spent can get free Lo Mein or Gen Tso Chix with coupon. They cook with good oil and don't use MSG. I have gotten carry out there many times and always happy with it all.A good place to go. read more

This is where to go for Chinese in the Wilson corridor. Don't go to no chain when you can visit this little gem. Located in the same plaza as Super Pollo and Two Chefs this chinese may change your life. Order the Chicken with Cashew Nuts it's the best thing on the menu. The prices are cheap if you grab something of the Chef's menu, it comes with spring rolls. read more

Great Chinese take-out in the Ballston area. I generally stick to the General Tso's or chicken & broccoli and both have been consistently excellent. My wife really enjoys their sweet and sour chicken. Prices are good. read more

Great place for a lunch. I got the Kung Pow Chicken this week during my first visit. Never had the selection before anywhere. Seriously was a great choice if I say so myself. You will not be sorry getting Chinese food from this place. Really amazing stuff and fast service. I had lunch and dinner from the same meal! read more

This is a awful restaurant and terrible costumer service. I ordered some dumplings for delivery and because you needed fifteen dollars, I decided to order a extra dumpling, a drink and some egg rolls. When the order came I was missing a order of dumplings and had no sauce for dipping the other egg rolls. My total was twenty dollars so I called back to see why I hadn't received my other dumplings. The lady was not willing to help but instead kept saying that I hadn't ordered two orders of dumplings but only one. Even though the receipt said two orders. Finally I decided to give up. To make the story short, terrible costumer service! read more

Just moved to Arlington, and first may I say it's wonderful here. So the family and I are still unpacking and we ordered some Chinese food, a lot things, like beef lo mein, chicken fried rice, beef and broccoli, and some soups along with egg rolls. It took them about an hour and half to get here, but the food was amazing. I will definitely be eating here again, just remember to add in the waiting time. read more

The Hot garlic chicken was not good. And the server was rude.

This place is fantastic! Growing up in NY and having spent some time in China, I have very high standards when it comes to Chinese food. This place was great! It's not super authentic, but its good American Chinese take out. read more

I read the reviews and expected a decent meal. What I got instead was tasteless chinese food. Everything-and I mean everything!- was completely bland. The egg rolls were disgusting; they tasted like they were stuffed with soggy lettuce. I am not picky when it comes to Americanized chinese food, but I would not recommend this to anyone. I'd give it 0 stars if the woman on the phone hadn't been so pleasant. Also they delivered pretty fast, so that was nice. read more

This is good food for a good price. I mean the customer service is not bad it's dry, probably due to the fact that they cannot speak English well. If you want something quick and food try this place. read more

I love this place. We have been going there for 10 years? Not sure, as long as they have been open, though. They have a fantastic mooshi chicken. There General is really good as is their kung-pao. Everything about this place is fantastic. read more

This is the only Chinese place I'll eat In arlington. I live in clarendon and they will deliver. I don't trust most Chinese food places but this place is legit read more

The delivery was speedy and the customer service was great which is why io hate to do this to them, but they have got to do better with the food!! The egg roll was dripping with grease, My Hunan shrimp were tiny as if they belongd in the Shrimp Fried Rice, not as a main dish, and the fried rice was bland, and did not have that authentic chines taste i was hoping for.. Overall the food was bland.. read more

Friday Jan. 28th ordered Sweet/sour Chicken, Double Cooked Pork, and Beef and broccoli. Both Wife and son got very sick from Food Poisoning and were Vomiting within 30 minutes of eating the food. Wife is Chinese and said never have such Bad Chinese food in her life! read more

I would definitely recommend Panda Cafe. We ordered delivery for dinner last weekend and the prices were reasonable and portions were great for sharing. We ordered the vegetable fried rice, kung pao chicken and shrimp with mixed vegetables; all of it was good and delivered quickly, and we will order from here again. read more

Chinese-American Comfort Food - We're close to this Chinese joint and do pickup rather than delivery with great regularity (1x/wk). We feel really fortunate to have such a good kitchen near our house. There are times we have felt they were "off", but almost always, they are spot on: broccoli beef is crisp, salt-pepper squid is crispy, and sesame chicken is perfect for the kids. The lo-mein noodles leave something to be desired, but the hot & sour soup is a great starter and the mu-shu pork never disappoints. You will not think you "died and went to China", but this place is solid. They have a few tables, however delivery appears to be their forte. GOOD STUFF! read more

I ordered my food at 9:43pm and it is now 11:50pm.I ordered two fried rice combos and was told food would arrive in 45mins. I called multiple times but it was past their closing time. I wanted to eat before going to work at midnight. Absolutely ridiculously and I will definitely being going in tomorrow to have a word with the manager and get a REFUND to my credit card. I am extremely dissatisfied & upset. read more

This place is perfect for a delivery chinese food type establishment. It was excellent food portions, were wonderful, and my girlfriend and I really enjoyed eating this food. We live in Ballston and we now will use this place regularly as a lazy don't want to get off the couch chinese food go-to type ordering place. We very much look forward to the future and our new chinese food delivery place. read more
