I've been living in Germantown since 2019, and my husband recently moved in with me. As we explored Chinese food options in the area, we discovered this spot. It's a short drive from us or, on a nice summer day, a good 35-minute walk. While it's a bit farther compared to other places, it's absolutely worth it--it's by far the best Chinese food we've tried, and the freshness really stands out. I ordered the shrimp and broccoli, asking for it to be prepared with less sodium, and it was perfect. The dish wasn't drowning in sauce, which let the shrimp and broccoli shine--a rarity in many places. Their crab rangoons were equally impressive, with a light, crisp fry that wasn't overly greasy. Despite being a small place, their service is top-notch. You can tell it's family-owned, and the care they put into their food and service really shows. If you're looking for fresh, flavorful Chinese food with great service, this place is a true gem. (By the way it's not a place to sit and eat it's more so take out although they have seating for your wait time. read more

This is a take-out food restaurant. I always call my orders in first rather than sitting on one of the few chairs. It looks like one of many cheap Chinese restaurants around the city with its bulletproof glass and old food pictures. Don't be fooled by that. The food is really good. And I like that they will make special orders (nothing crazy; just substituting bean curd for chicken and black bean sauce for another). They've never made a mistake. Their vegetables always taste fresh, I might add. read more

Horrible Chinese food. Meat was completely over cooked, I believe the chicken is the new bioengineered meat so do not order it. The pork was definitely old and refilled in sauce then microwaved before placing in my rice. Do not order from here. read more

This is the best in the mt.Airy area of Philly. Seriously. I love anything that they make with the BBQ pork, it's real and real tasty. The meifun, chicken wings, fried rice, soups, egg foo young, and spicy dishes all excellent. Aside from what I listed, you're on your own but I can say that if you are craving Chinese, this place hits the spot. This is a family owned biz and it shows in the care that they prepare and package the food. I gave an extra star for excellent Covid safety practices. read more

From recently living in West Mt Airy, I have appreciated the cooking in this family owned restaurant. During some main holidays, I valued the restaurant being open and both the owner husband & sometimes his wife have been behind the wok and stove to prepare dinners with very good sauces, and fresh vegetables, etc. I have ordered their vegetable soup, which is one of the best in the city, with a very good broth along with plenty of vegetable including some unusual as a ridged cut zucchini & carrot, some water chestnut, broccoli, tofu, mushroom, & others. Some years ago, there could have been other owners (from some prior reviews) but this take out restaurant has excelled in the past couple of years. Richard read more

Friday, April 5, 2024. I came here like I normally do expecting the great food and service I've always gotten pre-pandemic. This time I was in for a surprise: nothing tasted like usual and the food didn't look appealing. wasn't sure what meat was in my chicken and broccoli and when I bit into to try it caused me to gag. Even the egg rolls had a weird taste. My wife said this didn't. one from the same place. I snatched all the food and threw it out. $55 down the drain. Disappointed is the nicest word I can come up with. Never again! read more

This is my go to Chinese spot in my neighborhood. I work very long hours, and Thursday's are always particularly busy. After being on my feet/walking for 12 hours I'm often too tired to even think about cooking. Panda garden is always there for me! I love the food here and it is so well made. Especially the Chinese Chicken wings. Other menu items I recommend are the beef and broccoli, sautéed green beans, chicken on a stick, pork lo mien, pork fried rice, and the sweet and sour chicken. I get those all pretty often and they have yet to disappoint. The pricing is really great for the quality you get. Also, the delivery guy is either always on time or early which I appreciate since I usually think I'm dying of starvation. read more

Since we've moved here, this place has been my standard, go-to Chinese takeout. It's fairly average, yet consistent as a takeout place, and I've definitely encountered worse around here. Staff is always very polite and accommodating, service is quick. Minor frustration... I live literally 1.3 miles away and while they do deliver (I've called multiple times and had delivery) for some reason when I try to get delivery through the app, it says they don't deliver to my apartment. Not a major problem, but something weird is happening. read more

This is the only Chinese take out I even bother with when I am in Mt Airy. It's a small little hole in the wall type of spot on the corner or Mt. Pleasant and Lincoln Dr. They also deliver, but I have never personally used their service. First off the food is always fresh and flavorful; typical fare. I've been disappointed by so many take out spots that I have become extremely picky. But Panda Garden hasn't let me down yet. I almost always go for lunch and make use of the specials which are $6.50 and up. The servings are typically a bit smaller than most take out spots but it is still filling. Did I already mention I don't bother with any other Chinese take out in the area? Allow me to repeat myself haha. read more

NOTE: This place is cash only. This was the first time I've eaten here. My boyfriend and I have had quite the adventure in finding decent Chinese food since we moved to Germantown. This place is 2 miles away so we called only to be told that we were too far away and they didn't deliver. We actually called back again to speak to the woman, who was quite friendly, to check to see if she actually knew where we were and she said yes, it was too far to deliver. We found that a bit weird but decided to just go pick it up. My boyfriend said the place was nice and the people that worked there were friendly. The food however wasn't that impressive. Overall, it's standard Chinese fare with below average flavor. Here are some highlights: Sesame Chicken - fresh, hot,soft, not hard and crunchy with just enough sweetness, however after it cooled off a bit- chunks of it hardened and weren't chewable White Rice - tasted metallic and old, like it had been pulled off an old box in the back of a shelf - I couldn't eat it Fried Rice - decent but a bit bland Egg Rolls - just enough crunch, good size, good but still lacking some flavor Crab Rangoon - delicious but the outer corners of the pastry were so hard that I had to break them off before I could eat them Sweet & Sour sauce - standard, sweet, tasted good In a pinch, I might order there again as it's close by and has friendly people but it's definitely not my first choice if I'm craving some good Chinese. read more

My stepdad did call the man out but, the fact that he did such a thing is absolutely disgusting! There are so many stereotypes about how Chinese restaurants do dirty things in their restaurants and this just proves it to be true! This place needs to be shut down ASAP!

They have great, fresh tasting food that's never too greasy. The menu has a really nice variety of delicious food. I usually go for their boneless ribs or General tsos chicken, both of which are fabulous. I always ask for my food to be extra spicy and they always deliver on my request.

You are ordering the wrong things! Get out of your comfort zone and order something different for a change. You think they like cooking the same old General Tso's Chicken, etc., over and over, day after day? Two suggestions: the Ho Fun is straight tasty comfort food. Trust me.

The food is consistently strong, and the signature dan dan noodles are a must-order. We also tend to get the chicken potstickers, scallion pancake, kung pao chicken, and dry pot beef, along with white rice for the table. It's a menu that rewards repeat visits. We've had both takeout and dine-in here, and we definitely prefer dining in. The food is at its best when it comes straight out of the kitchen. The staff is always friendly, helpful, and kind without being overbearing. For seating, we prefer the cozy but small upstairs dining area, so making a reservation on OpenTable is usually a good idea. There are a few high-top tables downstairs near the kitchen and windows, which are also great, but if you prefer a quieter or cozier spot, we think the upstairs is best. They also offer a happy hour with good prices, and overall, the value for the food quality is excellent. We often bring out-of-town guests, and it's always a hit. Sichuan cuisine remains distinct from typical American Chinese, which helps Dan Dan stand out. We've also noticed their Ardmore location, which appears to be a strong alternative. Consistently good, well-run, unique, and worth visiting, especially for the dan dan noodles. Highly recommended and hope to be back soon!

This place was packed, which is always a good sign, and even with that the staff stayed super prompt and professional. The house special was my favorite. I got it with the knife-cut noodles and it was perfect with the broth. The noodles had that slightly uneven, chewy texture that really holds onto the soup. I never thought I'd be the type to talk about "mouthfeel" but here we are. The broth itself was rich and savory with a deep beef flavor, a little bit of oil on top that adds body without feeling too heavy. It's that classic, comforting Chinese beef noodle soup done really well. I added a braised egg, which had great flavor soaked into it, though it was served cold, which threw me off a bit. The mapo tofu with noodles was also really solid. It had that signature spicy, numbing kick from the Sichuan peppercorns, balanced with a savory, slightly salty sauce. The tofu was soft and silky, and mixing it with the noodles made it extra satisfying. It's got some heat but not overwhelming, just enough to keep you going back for another bite. The shrimp stir fry was lighter but still flavorful. The shrimp were cooked well, tender with a slight snap, and the sauce leaned more on the savory side with a mild sweetness. It felt like a nice balance alongside the heavier noodle dishes. Couple practical things: it's cash only, but there's an ATM right by the seating area which makes it easy. And the portions are generous for the price, so it feels like a really good deal. Overall, super satisfying spot. Busy, a little chaotic, but the food absolutely delivers. Definitely a go-to if you're craving hand-pulled noodles.

The soup dumpling wrappers are a little thick and some have less soup than others but flavor were good. The yeung chow fried rice was a miss the fried rice was a little wet so maybe they use freshly made rice. The marinated pork slice was good in flavor but had a good bit of fat like some pieces were pure fat basically which I didn't like. The scallion pancake was okay it was a little thick so I didn't like it much. The pork chop with rice cake had good flavor and was probably my favorite The place inside is not big because but was nicely decorated and the staff was okay they weren't very attentive and never ask us about how was everything the only time we saw them was when we order, when we get our food, and when we pay.

When I made the manager aware of this via telephone, he promised to take care of me if I ever by. Well I stopped by and it happened to be his birthday. The manager took such amazing care of me and my family. I will never forget it. He made my day. He deserves to be recognized for his extremely wonderful customer service.

A bit on the higher priced side for this dish but as I've had some great food from a different Han Dynasty location I didn't mind trying them out. Portion size was average on the chicken. The spice level says 8/10 but it was definitely on the weaker side. Maybe the peppers themselves were older / dried out and the flavor faded too much vs fresher peppers right before cooking. Maybe a bad choice of dish or an off day but as compared to a few other Sichuan dry pepper dishes from other restaurants around Philly it was a clear step below them. Might try a different choice if I order again.

Our table enjoyed pickled cucumbers and I had the beef noodle soup, which included bits of pickled mustard greens among the bok choy greens, which I found simply delightful! The restroom is upstairs, so I got to see a second dining room. Perhaps used for private events?

The service was good, for the time of day. The server was friendly and attentive. I will say the best item in my opinion was the Pork Shu Mai. It was top notch.

These orders have more portions than other places. Soup dumpling order had 8 pieces and the bun order had 6 pieces! Fried pepper beef was on salty side and the hot sauce may not be needed besides the long hot green pepper. The place is spacious! Well occupied on a Thursday night.

Visited with a friend for a meal, and I thought it was really good. Great prices for good quality…read moretraditional food, and tastes pretty authentic. We shared an order of scallion pancakes and each got a bowl of noodle soup - mine was roast pork with wonton noodle soup. Everything tasted great - scallion pancakes were nice and crispy, and the soup had great flavor. Service was easy and quick, and server seemed pretty friendly. My friend did most of the talking, as he's fluent in Cantonese, but everyone seemed pretty smart. Not a huge space in there, and didn't look quite as "popular" as some of the other restaurants nearby, but great for what it is, a traditional Chinese spot with good reliable selections.

Best roast duck in the City. Not fattening meat like other establishments. Same with roast pig too…read more Always get ginger sauce & extra duck juice for dipping. My fav is duck,roast pork, add wontons w/ Thick rice noodle soup. Game Changer with that option instead of Egg Noodles. Slurps broth more easily. And add side roast pig. Oh yea!
