    Plate with 2 Entrees (Spicy Orange Chicken and Broccoli Beef.. if you can even see the entrees)
    Kimberly P.

    [ Food ] We ordered the plate with 2 entrees, it was for the $5 deal when the Dodgers win a game and they were heavy on the chow mein to compensate for the lack of protein for the Spicy Orange Chicken and Broccoli Beef... [ Service ] The person who gave us our order seemed nice. [ Parking ] There's free 90 minutes parking in the back or metered street parking in front of the restaurant.

    I only get 1 item at Panda and that's their scrumptious, slightly charred and satisfyingly crunchy chow mein. For $6 large box, it's also unbeatable value. This location in south Lake does not disappoint. Also got their watermelon mango drink, it's bland and watery, but can't complain at $3. Nice upscale ambience for a Chinese fast food place.

    I had super low expectations based on my experiences in the east coast but I was pleasantly surprised. I don't know if all (west coast) panda locations are like this but the service was great, the food was fresh, and they have craft drinks! I got the plate which came with 2 entrees and a side. I went with chow mein, honey sesame chicken, and eggplant. What impressed me the most was that they were refilling the options constantly and if it was running low, they gave the option to wait for the new batch which was already on the way. I'm not much of a fast food Chinese American eater but this will definitely be a location to add to the books if I'm in the area shopping and starving.

    Overall a good experience from this Panda! I stopped by for lunch after doing some shopping nearby and thankfully it wasn't busy at all. The parking lot in the back leads directly into the restaurant which is convenient bc finding parking on Lake is... not happening lol. Service was great I was greeted as soon as I walked. In. I ordered steamed rice with orange chicken and honey walnut shrimp. The orange Chicken was very good as per usual, but the the shrimp and rice were a little under and over cooked for my liking. I still enjoyed my meal though!

    Bigger Plate

    Update: I returned to give them another try. The food was good and the portions were finally reasonable. However, the service was horrid. A man cut in front of me and the staff took his order while ignoring me completely. It was a strange and frustrating experience, so I won't be back. It seems you have to choose between good food or good service here, but you can't get both. It is a shame because the location and interior is really nice. I would go there for WiFi or to meet someone publicly to get tea, but not to get food.

    Officially my new favorite Panda Express location. Orange chicken PLUS special teas? Yes, please! Not to mention they have some of the nicest, most on point staff here. There is a parking lot in the back or street metered parking out front. Clean, well stocked, organized and efficient location well stocked with tons of options. I had the pineapple pomegranate lemonade and it was so delish. My orange chicken bowl was the usual hot, crispy and tasty I've come to expect from Panda.

    On Lake Avenue near Cordova.

    Refreshing New clean Panda Express restaurant with Tea Bar. Simple clean organized restaurant inside. Stopped by for a quick bite as the day permits. Grabbed some quick comfort food rather than sandwiches and healthy joints nearby. Ordered the plate with 2 entrees, started with Half Fried rice, Half chow mein with popular Orange Chicken and Beef with Broccoli. Parking is available on the street or in the rear parking lot in the rear of Bldg. Good location and option to eat on Lake Avenue just south of Colorado Blvd.

    Terrible food!

    See all

    Usually good. Food poisoning! Please check your fried rice. It was cold and stale. Was up all night. Accidentally deleted my prior reviews.

    If I want to go to a Panda Express, I would go out of my way for this location. Is the only location that doesn't skimp in servings.

    I absolutely love this place. Their soufflé pancakes are to die for! Such a delicious light sweet…read moretreat! I have been here a few times over the years & I always get an order of soufflé pancakes. I've tried the Oreo , the strawberry shortcake, the berry one, they mango & I think the mango option is my all time favorite (: I had ordered a few drinks from here, the cocomelon is my ultimate favorite light refreshing drink but it's only seasonal! Wish they would keep it on the menu for good! I have also tried the berry cheese smoothie & it was good but not to get over n over again. Last night I tried the milk tea. I wouldn't order it again it wasn't my favorite & I've had better elsewhere! My boyfriend like it though!(: This spot is always busy so good sign! I 1000% recommend the pancakes! Must add to your list! You won't regret it (: You can always see them making the pancakes which is super cute & cool to see! They have 2 tap to order screens so super easy to work with & then they bring the dishes to you. Seating inside & out, working bathroom!

    First time trying motto tea. It was nice to order through a digital kiosk. I always get intimidated…read morewith what I want. At least with a kiosk I can play with the add ons. Overall it was a nice refreshing drink. Matcha tea with less sweetness. This is a plus since you can change the sweetness of it. There's plenty of outdoor seating and it's in the shade too. Stopped by here after my visit to Japanese BBQ. Needed caffeine to get me going after a large meal. Recommend checking out this place if you're in Pasadena.

    All I can say is WOW. I accidentally discovered this gem a week ago, and I'm so glad to have this…read moredelicious option for my morning pick me up! Despite not living close by, I went back again today I've had the Pistachio Iced Toddy Latte and the Nutella Iced Toddy Latte...both with oat milk, and they were DIVINE. Full disclosure I like sweet drinks, so if you have a sweet tooth like me, these drinks are perfect. The interior is cute with a few tables and bar seating, and there is also a cute patio with tables too. Parking is street parking, unless I'm missing something. The staff is warm and helpful too! You can earn loyalty stars from your purchases, which is awesome. If you're in the hunt for a new spot, definitely make a visit!

    Home Brewed Bar had been one of my favorite spots for tea or coffee for the past decade plus…read more When I worked in old town Pasadena, I used to frequent their previous location, which was closer to my office. It wasn't the closest place to grab a cup of tea or coffee, but I always felt like it was worth the walk. They have extremely creative and premium drinks with innovative flavors. Service is very strong. They offer great suggestions. I am very happy that their standard base for milk tease is non-dairy, something I usually end up paying extra for. Their new location has easier parking and is a very cute building with a courtyard. I recently met a friend there, but we were on limited work breaks, and I was so distracted that I forgot to take a photo of my pistachio latte. I really enjoyed it. This is one of the tea shops in town that I will continue to frequent.
