Great food and great people! We came in tired and hungry with 2 little kids. The food was fast and hot. They were so kind, too :)

Crab ragoone was $12.00 for 8 doughy fried fake crab BS . Stopped going there because everything taste the same . read more

I always order takeout on the shrimp Singapore noodles as im familiar with this dish whenever i crave for this. They cooked it like it is in Singapore. Made of bee hoon (rice vermicelli) with chili spices (spicy) and shrimp. Decent amount of shrimp but i add a few more cooked ones when i get home. Fast service and decent eating place. Could be better but they have been in this same spot for years as i see different family members helping out. I believe they tried hiring new cooks but retaining staff is a difficult responsibility for a small eatery. As for those who commented about plastic melts....that can happen when piping hot food is contained in plastics. Hot soups can spill over so be mindful when you carry them out to be eaten at home. A good renovation at the seating area (revamp menu board) and kitchen will give a boost in outlook but this business is about family survival...paying their bills. read more

Food was good! Hot, tasty and chicken was very good quality. Service was great, friendly and quick.

I've been eating here for 20 years. The food is always super. They were totally slammed today and despite some people being super rude to them for the delay, they kept chugging along and got our orders out! Love this place. read more

Prices have gone up and food has gone down. Service was good. Don't waste money and then have to go home and cook because you're paying for adult meal but get kid meals. Not cool read more

Great Chinese restaurant. best tasting food , always fresh ingredients and always kind and friendly service

Been going here for 5 years, a family favorite. Must have each time are the appetizer order of boneless spare ribs, made crispy or extra crispy, sweet soft and a little char. Beef with snow peas, super tender beef. Crab Rangoon, egg foo Yung, and Mongolian anything. If you want anything spicy you must ask for extra extra spicy. Mostly a takeout place but they do have seating. Good almond cookies too. read more

We've eaten here every few weeks for five years. It's always at least decent and prices are fair for Chinese takeout. But lately the food has been better than usual. Most recently we had chicken with broccoli, orange chicken,pork fried rice and crab rangoon. Only the fried rice was just average, but the rest was really good. It even heated up well the next day. We enjoyed it. read more

For years I avoided this restaurant because the food wasn't good, the packaging leaked all over my car one time with a big hole in the lid of the wonton soup, and the last straw was getting sick from eating there. But after many years we tried it again and it was just fine. Food was good, service was good. I suspect it now has totally different owners or managers. We have been back now a couple of times and it has consistently been fine, and the lady now taking orders is so pleasant. I'm very glad this place is not like it originally was. For quick Chinese pick up locally, it's good! read more

wrote bad reviews in the past on this place so after a couple years I figured maybe it got better,, it only has gotten worse, I ordered kung poa chicken it was 90% celery what a joke, hope they close this place, we need a real Chinese place in this town read more

Very good food and nice service! Some of the items are on the pricier side, but it's definitely my go-to Chinese takeout place! My favorites are the beef lo mein, orange chicken, crab Rangoon, and fried dumplings. read more

Very Friendly service but did not like the taste of the food. I ordered a combo plate. Pepper beef and tomato, egg drop soup and steamed dumplings. Pepper beef had an ok flavor but kind of bland and all I can taste is the tomato flavor. Rice with the combo plate was extremely dry and no real flavor ( white rice would have been better) Egg drop soup was the best thing that I ordered but still it was just averge. The last thing was dumplings.The filling was minimal and I ate one and tossed the rest out because of the taste. I ordered from here because I was in the area and the reviews on Google were mostly positive. The reviews here on Yelp were more mixed and I wish I would have also checked here before I ordered. Maybe they have other dishes that are really good. I am not sure. read more

The portions are good and food is made quick. For a Chinese restaurant in Wauconda, it works for me. It's fast, convenient, and above all, everything I've ever ordered from here tasted good. read more

I am done with this restaurant. I usually order beef with pea pods and it's mostly pea pods. Recently I've ordered veggie egg foo young and when I got home it was pork. Wasn't happy and not to mention the egg foo young was sitting in a container of oil. I was not feeling good the next day. read more

Panda Chinese Restaurant - an omelet in a bowl - Chinese Near Me - Wauconda, Illinois

I don't agree with all the bad reviews. The food is good, the service is good, the prices are in line with other Chinese restaurants, and Jenny (the owner ?) is VERY friendly. If you want to complain about the prices call the people that are responsible for inflation--- Washington D.C. read more

Service, generally take out, is very fast efficient and friendly. Prices are a good value for the portions you receive. I like the chicken dishes and the combo fried rice. All done nicely and not dry. The luncheon specials are the best value if you get there during the noon hour. Local worth supporting. read more

Decent but nothing to get overly enthusiastic. The Kung Pao Chicken was acceptable but way too much celery used as a filler in my opinion. The chicken was cubed smaller than expected. The General Taos Chicken was pretty good. The portion was more than expected. The Sea Food Delight appeared to be bland. No negative comment from the person who ordered it. However, apparently nothing to cheer about. The big plus is the female owner is very nice and accommodating. read more

This is the BEST Chinese food in IL! My entire family loves it. We always get the orange chicken, crab Rangoon, egg rolls, fried wontons, and chicken fried rice; it is delicious every time. We tried the chicken noodle soup as well and sure enough it was delicious. The lady at the front is so sweet and appreciative. We can't wait to order again next week! Thank you Panda:) read more

We are lucky to have the BEST Chinese Takeout in Wauconda. You all know what "Chinese Takeout" should taste like. All these restaurants have the same suppliers. What COUNTS is the local attention to detail and this family-owned/run shows it. With the COVID situation, I can order in from an incredibly wide range of Chinese food. I don't order from them. The family finally contracted with a delivery service to satiate their customers. In person pickup is also available. Call in your order, pay by credit card, and have your amazing food handed to you at the door. My family favorites: Mongolian Beef (white or fried rice), pot stickers, shrimp in lobster sauce, hot & sour soup, egg fu young, etc. Lastly, whatever you order, not only will you get the best food, but you will also get good value for your money. Order what you want from this restaurant, and you will get the tastiest food for good value spent. read more

My family has been going here for years! My family and I highly recommend the garlic chicken (without vegetables because you get double the chicken), beef and broccoli, sweet and sour chicken, orange chicken, shrimp fried rice, pork fried rice, and the egg rolls! We like to order the lunch combos because you get your choice of meat, rice, and you get either a soda or an egg roll for less than $6. read more

Panda Chinese Restaurant - Menu as of Aug 8th, 2017 - Chinese Near Me - Wauconda, Illinois

Never again besides prices going up now now there is a automatic tip that they don't tell you about 15%

Kung Po chicken. No spice lots of celery very poor. Would not order again. Crab Rangoon kinda sweet.

They have the Best crab meat rangoons & coconut shrimp! The Shrimp egg roll is delicious! Always fresh food. read more

Typically I like to use humor when I am going to slam a place ... just don't find the humor in spending $53.00 on takeout when almost ALL the food was inedible. This Chinese is worse than low grade dog food. I simply cannot believe they have been in business for as long as they have. The beef was pure rubber and under cooked. The chicken was grisly and disgusting and the egg foo young was flavorless, like everything else. We will NEVER order from here again, nor should anyone else! read more

I trust their food. Been going there for years. They always pay special attention to detail and their family eats there too. If they entrust their food to their family members, then I will definitely be bringing my family and friends too. read more

Wauconda is my home town and I love this place. In fact it is the best Chinese food I've ever had. I've traveled a lot and I've lived in other states and I can never find a place that comes close to comparing. The food is never overcooked, which seems to happen far too often when you deep fry little chunks of meat. The sauce on the meats is always plentiful and flavorful. Panda has: The best sesame chicken The best general chicken I've ever had The best mongolian beef I've ever had The best crab rangoon I've ever had The best pot stickers I've ever had The 2nd best hot and sour soup I've ever had also-I've never been to China like Brian F so all I've had is Americanized Chinese food, and that's just fine with me also-I don't know what MSG tastes like like April H does so I don't really know if this place will give you cardiac problems read more

Worst orange chicken we've ever had from a Chinese restaurant. The chicken was really dry/old and the orange sauce was absolutely terrible. The inside area seems really dirty. Wish we would have read some of the reviews before eating here. read more

First time going to this place and I loved it! Prices were great as was the food. Was a little hesitant since it was my first time eating here but would highly recommend this place to anyone if you're looking for more authentic Chinese food. Ordered the hot and spicy garlic that came with roast pork fried rice as well as an egg roll! Asked for it to be extra spicy and didn't quite get that extra kick but overall can't say it wasn't good. Just the right amount of sauce to go with the vegetables and shrimp. The rice tasted great as well The crab rangoons were great as well! Would definitely return if i were ever in the mood for Chinese food, which happens quite often. So glad we came to this place, definitely going to return. read more

Not worth my money, food was pretty bland, egg rolls disgusting. After spending 10 years in SF bay area, I have a hard time finding decent Chinese restaurants. Maybe one closer to the city. read more

Worse place I have ever been for take out!! Do not go to the Panda in Wauconda!!! the Mongolian Beef was tough to chew & a lot of fat!!! I have had Chinese food better then at this place...food for me here is a no no!!! read more

Still the only place for takeout Chinese in Wauconda, but prices have gone up like 25 percent and the portions have been cut big time. My rice is now Thumb Size to go with an entree. No joke. I used to rate this place higher for the value. read more

Pretty good fist time here and they had a whole system for paying and receiving things it was funny trying to figure it out. Heads up I believe you need to buy $10 or more worth of things to pay with card so be prepared with cash. Food was pretty good I enjoyed it the fried rice is bomb no cap read more

Great fried wonton app! I would definitely recommend for anyone looking for an easy night Chinese place!

went and ordered an assortment of dishes- found all to be missing some ingredient? It seems that none of the sauces were thickened and those that should of had garlic did not. Had the ribs - but they unfortunately for me had little or no taste. It's a shame- this restaurant could make some real money if only they could get a decent cook that actually knew what they were doing read more

Been coming here for decades. Good food, reasonable prices, friendly service. My go-to place for crab rangoon.

We are so glad to be able to go back. We've been ordering take out literally for generations at the restaurant. Our grown children say that Panda's food has spoiled them for all other Chinese food restaurants. Vegetables are fresh and crisp, spices are done well, great value meals. We find a wide variety in recipes for Crab Rangoon at different restaurants and we like Panda's. We keep them on speed dial! read more

Fresh food, decent staff. It's Americanized, Chinese take out, if your expecting more go to a sit down place.

Panda is DEF. not my favorite place to eat. The flavor is just not good. It taste like fake Chinese food. I know that sounds weird but thats the only way I can describe it. I loved dragon China in Wauconda but its gone now, even golden house buffet was way better. The owners of panda are so rude its unbelievable their still in business. Prob still in business cause its the only Chinese food place in the Wauconda area. Our family loves Chinese food and its such a shame that panda is our only option for Wauconda. I will admit that the sweet and sour chicken and chicken and broccoli is one of the better dishes they have. The owners really need to work on their people skills. Customer service is very important and if you are rude to you're customers then you better be prepared to lose them. read more

Typical cheap carry out Americanized Chinese food. I agree with April H in that they do tend to use a LOT of MSG, but it's cheap, tasty, and the service is good. So, I'd give them a solid 3 stars. read more
