    How in the world does the fork break when I stuck it into the white rice. Flavors on all items were definitely off today. Drink station was sticky. Yes they greeted me when I walked in but I didn't get the same vibes at the counter. Seemed very rushed and not friendly. 14th of October 2025: my last review this location was hanging on with 2 stars but not it's got to be 1 star. I won't be returning till 2026 so hope you make some improvements to your friendliness and make some softer white rice.

    I've been to this location a bunch of times the last few months, because of the promo code for $5 (thank you dodgers win !). Two item combo. Otherwise I, I feel their pricing is high . I order on the app, and they always have it ready. You walk straight to the cash register area (no , don't need to wait in line ) They are very helpful, and I'm always in and out. (No pun on in n out hamburger join, hahaha) Quality is good, I can't disagree.

    Gotta update my review since it's been a while since my last. Have to say since I shifted to online ordering everything has been great. Order online, pay online, get a "ready by" time and show up and it's generally always ready. It's convenient, efficient and the employees are always helpful and pleasant.

    Writing a review for a "Panda Express" is kinda absurd but I just had to give this location a shout after today. This is my go-to location, the employees are always kind and efficient, and the food is always solid. Today they gave me a particularly abundant plate and I was really happy about that.

    This is the slowest location I've ever been to. Not because of the workers efforts, because they were all hustling, but because this location prioritizes online orders. For every 1 in person order, they would try to fulfill at least 2 online orders while live customers weee standing right in front of them . People actually walked out. When I went, there were only 3 people ahead of me but it took me over 25 min to get my food which is ridiculous for Panda. The Mason location is much better. So, unless you place your order ahead of time or have tons of time to wait just standing there, then this location is for you. I, for one will never come here again even though it is a closer location . Also, the online orders were just sitting there piling up waiting to be picked up while the in person customer line kept growing . Bad business practice IMO

    Order showing two item entree but it was not included in the meal.

    When we came in, we were immediate greeted. We were shown to seats and we guided to choose which…read moreseats we wanted. The waitress asked if we wanted anything to drink, so we asked for iced water, and it came really quick. The menu is decent, with a decent selection. It's very basic Chinese menu items. Inside is very clean and spacious. We ordered: Sweet and sour chicken Fried pork chops with spicy salt Beef chow fun Yang chow fried rice Everything was great! The Sweet and sour chicken hits the spot, without being over-flavoring. The chicken pieces are a good size and they are well-fried. The pork chops were perfect too! Not overly salty. The beef chow fun was great too! The yang chow fried rice was a bit salty, but eating it with everything else was fine. If there was less salt in that fried rice, it would have been a perfectly good dining experience. Anyway, I would recommend this place. It is good.

Most of the takes are round which is the best for group dining and conversation. On top of the round table, each one came with a lazy Susan for easy sharing of dishes. The staff was super friendly and attentive which is great. The menu is basic and easy to read with a simple layout but nice options. So why three stars? Well the food was hit or miss on this day. It was the first time I've eaten at hot wok. But others in the party frequent the restaurant. One person ordered the sizzling rice soup and said it had been better on other occasions. For the tale we ordered a pork dumpling starter, which was fine. Our main dishes were the orange chicken that was good. The kung pao chicken that was bad. A tad dry and flavorless. Ma Po tofu for a vegan eater which the said wasn't the best representation and for some reason the kitchen didn't add onions to help it be vegan. We had vegetable chow fun noodles that were good. We had sautéed green beans that were sautéed with ginger and not garlic which weee bad. You add it up and there's your three stars. I'd eat there again but be more directive on how I'd want the dishes done if possible.

    Very honest opinion: Not sure if I'm eating the same food as everyone else leaving reviews here,…read morebut I got the signature beef (Lanzhou) noodle soup combo and it was incredibly disappointing~mediocre. Server guy was chill. The food is served in a paper bowl, unlike the nice bowls you see in their pics. Tl;dr: if you're curious, don't waste your time, bafang is open 5min away Preface: I KNOW it's mall food, but for a restaurant that continuously pops up as #1 on Yelp whenever I search for food around the northridge/chatsworth area, I'm going to treat it as if it were a #1 spot. Beef noodle soup: to be very blunt, this was quite flavorless. The beef was dry as bones and looked like it was sliced with a mandoline. The noodles seemed undercooked and it felt like I was eating al dente spaghetti noodles. I got a medium spice level which didn't even seem that spicy, just a lot of cough inducing chili oil with no burn. Pan fried dumplings were ok. It honestly tasted like it was deep fried and not pan fried. Unsweetened black tea: hands down the best of the 3 things in the combo, which is quite telling. Honestly you get a decent amount of food for $15. But to constantly take the top 5 for recommended on Yelp in this area and waste my time to even look at it, it definitely doesn't belong remotely close to top 10.

    Finally popped in after constantly seeing it on my FYP and it did not disappoint. I ordered the…read morespicy beef noodle soup combo which came with 4 dumplings and a beverage. The service was friendly and the wait was reasonable. Its located in the mall which means that you don't really get much of a vibe from this place alone but of everything surrounding. The soup was not spicy imo, I have a high tolerance, but it did have a good flavor. The noodles were thick and soft but they lacked a bit of flavor. The beef was soft and flavorful with the smaller bits of beef, which resembled ground beef, were very tasty. The soup was good overall but felt a bit too oily. The dumplings had a light crunchy exterior and the inside was juicy but it felt just a bit too mushy for me. Overall a good place and I would return to try something else.

We had another Chinese food choice and afterwards, we wished we had chosen the other place. This restaurant is a dumpy little joint located in a truly gross strip mall. That being said, there were plenty of people eating there, and people getting take out. So, for the area, I guess this is considered one of the better places if you don't feel like driving far. They had a new item - NY style egg rolls. As a New Yorker ex-pat, I take these very seriously and look for them all the time. Unfortunately, these were chicken. You know things are going wrong at a Chinese restaurant when the egg rolls and pot stickers are chicken instead of pork. Clearly catering to people who are not Chinese food aficionados. The egg rolls were edible but in no way good. The pot stickers were meh and the size of gyoza rather than potstickers. We got the chicken with garlic sauce and the kung pao shrimp and begged them to make them extra, extra, extra spicy. As in all non-Asian areas of town, the waitresses' eyes went wide as if we didn't know what we were asking for, but she said okay. Sure enough, both dishes came and were not only not at all spicy but completely bland. I mean super, duper bland. It has nothing to do with my rating or my meal, but watching a family at the table next to us trying to eat mu shu pork and not knowing how to eat a simple age old dish like that was somewhat frightening or amusing or both. I don't know. It was like watching a train wreck in slow motion and I was captivated. Anyway, bottom line is I actually like Americanized Chinese food and even crave it sometimes to mix it up from the standard SGV authentic stuff. This just is not a good place and reminded me of all the horrible Chinese restaurants I tried throughout LA when I first moved here from NYC back in 1994. Can't recommend. Don't go.

The place was a little empty probably because we got there shortly after they had just opened. Maybe like one person dining in and 2 others ordering take out as well. The vibes in here take me back to my childhood with the carpet floor and booth seating. It was also very dark inside. My family and I would go to the A&W down the street for every Sunday dim sum and also for family parties and that's what it reminded me of. We took our food home to enjoy and loved everything!
