Best food ever ! Very family friendly , my kids love Friday evening Chinese night ! Best food ever ! Very family friendly , my kids love Friday evening Chinese night ! read more

Not bad for regular Chinese food, but always out of everything on the menu. They should redo the whole menu and start over! Frustrating to ask every time for something and they don't have it! read more

This hits the spot for classic Chinese American takeout! I love it. Reliable, flavorful, and large portions. Can't wait to try everything on the menu, but I'm a sucker for shrimp with lobster sauce. Tasty! read more

I called in and my food was ready in 15 minutes. It's cheap and honestly really good. I asked for small and I swear it looks more like a large. Really please! Going to start suggesting this place. read more

This is a good place if you're in a pinch for takeout Chinese food. They currently do not have any seating options to dine-in. The food and prices are good. Overall, I'd recommend this restaurant. read more

Visiting a relative and said let's get Chinese food locally. So we decided to go here. The food was tasteless, and cold takeout food. Ordered and was told to pick up in 25 minutes. Arrived within 15 minutes, food was ready. 5 minutes to get home and everything was already lukewarm at best. The won ton soup was tasteless and cold. The steamed dumplings were cold and my egg roll was cold. The egg foo young chicken was hot but had no taste. I get this dish because I Iove brown gravy but it had no taste. Worst of all was the fried rice which was yellow Mexican style rice. This was a one and done visit. read more

For the Hampton Roads area, it's probably the best American-Chinese you'll find. Been going here since 2011 when we moved here from the west coast -you won't find Chinese food here that compares -unless you go further north...maybe. Also depends on the region you're looking for, as "Chinese" food, as most people in the area are familiar with is really an adaptation of Chinese food made to appease the local palates with accessible ingredients; kinda like all other foods from other countries. Dishes authentic to Chinese cuisine is based on region and can differ greatly in ingredients and styles of cooking. Their service is by far the most hospitable in the area -not just in comparison to other Chinese restaurants but to all other restaurants -fast food and sit down. They remember their customers, are always friendly, and do their best to accommodate special requests without grievance and a salty attitude. The ingredients they use are fresh and the food is always made to order. Though they cater to the local pallate, simply requesting "Chinese" vegetables -for an up-charge, or less sauce, is easily accommodated. Despite stereotypical misconceptions of Chinese restaurants -or just people's sheer ignorance/racism- the establishment is always clean and well maintained. read more

Food is great! prices are affordable, staff is always friendly and it's a breeze to order online and pickup. They are close to my work and I can easily get a nice lunch from here. Highly recommend! read more

Food was tasteless, portions small for the price. The restaurant can use a good and thorough cleaning. Not a good experience.

Just had my first meal here. Chicken/Black Bean Sauce Chicken Curry Spring Rolls Boneless Spare Ribs. Great meal and much tastier and seemingly healthier than another local takeaway I tried recently. The only thing I would change would be to have a thicker curry sauce. That being a personal preference. Will definitely be making this my regular Chinese Takeaway. read more

Nothing exceptional, but will do in a pinch, for something take-out. The BBQ Wings were very odd...the sauce on the wings tasted like orange-infused molasses instead of a BBQ sauce. Wasn't too crazy about that. The Won-Ton soup isn't bad...but the broth could use some flavoring. The main dishes are okay; pretty much the quality level you'd expect at a small place like this. read more

Between the overcooked, oddly flavored food and the hair that comes in every order; I don't recommend this location despite the lack of choices in the area. read more

Hours vary to much. Never know if they are open or closing early or closed. It's a hit or Miss as to whether the call in order is right. Have paid twice for food I didn't get. Server was more interested in talking to folks at bar then taking the order. In fact the phone was laid down on the counter and I could here her whole conversation. I hung up then the phone stayed busy so I couldn't even complain. read more

It's been too long since this place has been reviewed so I'm back to let you know it's still good food. This has continued to be a regular take-out spot for us and we've never been let down. read more

This is a great take out option for the area. Clean kitchen. Quick service. I appreciate that although they have zero competition in the area they still do a decent job. Have never gotten sick from eating here and the food is pretty good for the price. read more

We have taken out twice from Panda Chinese Kitchen. The first experience was disappointing, except for the wonton soup. The second time was a better experience for our entrees. The place is convenient, and the people are friendly. With few local options, one must lower expectations. read more

This is our go to Chinese place. It's not overly greasy, and it's quick and friendly. Better than any Chinese restaurants in Charlottesville by far! read more

Great food. The staff is always friendly! I definitely recommend this place to anyone who loves Chinese food

Horrible customer service. I used to spend quite a bit here until I had a question then it went awry

Best Chinese in fluvanna. Get the chicken curry! We have tried a few other places but always keep coming back to Panda. Dumplings are also good. And then we always get the egg roll! read more

So, after spending a few minutes trying to understand what on earth Beth was trying to say in her review, my wife and I decided to try out Panda. Glad to report that is pretty much what you'd expect from a local Chinese place: tasty American-chinese food at a reasonable price. The staff were kind and quick, so no problems there. I'd probably give this place a 4/5, and we'll likely be ordering out from here again. I'm going to leave a five star review for this one in order to counteract the incoherent review Beth left. read more

LOVE this restaurant, even more because it's in Fluvanna county and doesn't require a trip to Charlottesville or Richmond. I'd give 4.5 stars if I could, but Yelp only lets us give whole star ratings, and Panda doesn't (quite) rate 5 stars (yet). The lowdown: This place is pretty much take-out only. The place is clean, but the floor is tile, the few tables are shoved against the walls and you've got a straight on view into the kitchen, complete with employees (family members?) hanging out. The place is LOUD, even if it isn't packed with people waiting for their orders. Don't get me wrong, I'm perfectly happy with this arrangement! I call my order in, they make it in their clean kitchen, and I get to eat yummy food in the comfort of my own home; what's not to like? However, I can see how some others might be put off by the lack of painted screens and jolly-faced Buddha decor, particularly if they were expecting a sit-down meal. The Moo Goo Gai Pan (chicken & veggies in white sauce) was the best I've ever eaten. My family spent three years in Beijing when I was a child, so I know what I'm talking about. The chicken was amazingly tender, and man was there a lot of it! None of this "load it up with bok choy and hope the customer doesn't notice the lack of chicken" bamboozle other places try to pull, no siree! The hubby, kids and I have tried a lot of items, to include Cashew Chicken, Beef with Snow Peas, Bourbon Chicken (a specialty beloved by 3 out of 4 family members, what can I say, darling son is a rebel), and House Special Lo Mein, to name a few. The egg drop soup is smooth and velvety, the fried dumplings were tender with the right amount of crisp on them from the pan, delicious! The appetizers are a mixed bag: the pork egg rolls were a hit, the spring rolls a bit heavy (though tasty). The fried pork wontons were crispy with good flavor, but the Krab Rangoon, which I expected to have a savory cream cheese/imitation crabstick filling, instead had a SWEET cream cheese/imitation crab filling that was...weird. However, the BBQ ribs were fantastic so I'll forgive them for the weird Krab Rangoon. So, why only 4 stars? Where the Panda stumbles is when it comes to the spicy dishes. They have them on the menu: Hot and Spicy Shrimp, Hunan Beef (and chicken and shrimp), Kung Pao Chicken, and so on, and we've ordered quite a few of them. The flavor is good, and the quality of the meats and vegetables are fantastic, but there's no HEAT! I should mention that I love spicy food. If my lips are tingling and my eyes are watering and I need another glass of milk, then it's just right as far as I'm concerned. The hubby likes his food slightly less incendiary, but even he agrees with me: Panda doesn't add enough kick to the dishes listed in red on their menu. If I had to guess, I'd say the chefs are concerned about scaring away customers with sensitive palettes. My philosophy is, if you order from the red-listed items, you are announcing, in no uncertain terms, "BRING IT ON!" Twice now I've told the person taking our order over the telephone that I wanted our spicy items EXTRA spicy, and they've still been lackluster in the hot pepper department. Next time I order I'm going to strenuously try to convince them that I want it spicy enough that I need a box of tissues on table beside me to handle the waterworks! If Panda can bring up the level of spice on their spicy dishes, I'll bring up my rating from a 4 to a 5! read more

They do not like when a mistake is made although you show them what they did wrong sometimes the food is ok and sometimes it's not I asked for the manager and no one knew who he or she was then they all acted like they didn't speak English will not be returning there! read more

Consistently great Chinese-American food. You can often see the cooks in back chopping up mounds of fresh vegetables. Favorites include curry (all of them),egg foo young, teriyaki beef, hot/sour soup, and steamed dumplings. VERY fast and courteous service. read more

this is a great "go-to" restaurant, never had any bad experiences. egg rolls are a must for any order.

Go to place for Chinese food at Lake Monticello, I've ordered General Tso's chicken, Kung Po Chicken and Hunan chicken, all were good, and like the other poster said they don't make them hot enough (spicy) but the portions are generous, and the workers pleasant. read more

There sesame chicken is so delicious. It's similar to sweet and sour chicken but tastes so much better. Highly recommend. The only thing I don't like about this place is their wonton soup--- it basically just tastes like water with just a little bit of salt in it. read more

Panda is great! Staff is awesome and best Chinese food around! Highly recommend! Best dumplings we have had and wonton soup is excellent!

Was recommended by more than one person, I have to say this isn't the greatest, I can always judge how good a Chinese restaurant is, by the quality and flavor of their Sweet & Sour chicken, So I ordered a portion of S&S chicken and fried dumplings The dumplings were half fried and slimey very disappointed! The meat inside wasn't the greatest either. The batter on the sweet and sour chicken was tasteless and overcooked, and the sauce was too mild it just ran over the batter and since it was overcooked, the flavors never mixed I'm not saying I wouldn't give this place another chance , but on first impressions there's a lot better out there! then again it was very late in the evening when we visited! read more

I love going here. The food is wonderful, generous amounts on everything I've tried. They have lunch specials and dinner specials that are worth the money. Reasonably priced. you get your moneys worth. The people there are nice and very polite. My favorite place for takeout. read more

Revolting. Just got an order of vegetable chow mein and all I received was a container of slimy vegetables (seriously, think Slimer from Ghost Busters and you'll get the picture). No noodles at all! Restaurant claims that this is what chow mein looks like. Says I should've received a bag of crunchy noodles on the side, which I didn't, but even if I had, this still wouldn't be what any chow mein that I've ever seen looks like (or smells like! So smelly that it had to be thrown into the outside garbage bin). Disgusting. read more

Look, Mom, they shrunk the eggrolls. And now the brown rice is yellow! (Otherwise the food is o...kay.)

We live at Lake Monticello and this is one of our go-to places for takeout. Excellent Moo Goo Gai Pan and General Tso chicken. Fast service and generous servings. read more

Lunch specials every day, including weekends! Dinner specials as well so you can get a good sized meal with fried rice and egg roll or soup. Their hot and sour soup is excellent, egg drop is very good and not too salty. If you're out at the Lake, I highly recommend this place. Fast and friendly service as well. read more
