3.5 stars, as there are items that I would come back for. On my mission to try every Chinese restaurant in Stamford, this was one spot I hadn't gotten around to yet. I'm glad I placed my order online ahead of time because it was pretty busy when I arrived for pickup. Overall, I'd say this place is decent, but not one of my favorites. Here's what we ordered: - Beef Mei Fun - I actually meant to order the Beef Chow Fun, but it turned out to be a happy accident. I was worried the mei fun would be dry and bland, but it had good flavor, and my kids really enjoyed it. - Beef with String Beans - I was expecting more of a dry stir-fry, but it came in a brown sauce instead. It just wasn't my preference. - Bean Curd with Garlic Sauce - I wasn't sure what to expect since there wasn't much of a description on the menu. It also came in a brown sauce, and I honestly couldn't taste much garlic, so the name was a little misleading. - Plain Chicken Wings - Definitely the standout of the meal. Crispy, flavorful, and something I'd order again. - BBQ Ribs - They were okay. Nothing particularly memorable, but not bad either. Overall, the food was solid, and the pickup process was smooth despite how busy they were. While I don't think this will become my go-to Chinese spot in Stamford, there were a few dishes that made the visit worthwhile. read more

I'm happy to find a Chinese take out that still have great quality like this one. Don't miss the fried Chicken wings here, it's crispy outside juicy inside and good size. General tso Chicken & shrimp broccoli are good, although the sauce taste slightly different but still very close to what you find in traditional Chinese restaurant 20 years ago. Food are fresh and very nice people. Spacious with restroom, good place to go as an alternate choice to Indian restaurant next door. Both are my favorite now. read more

A true hidden gem in Stamford! I found a gem right in my own backyard. Panda Garden is a cut above the rest when it comes to Chinese food. The quality is excellent, the flavors are on point, and the portions are generous. Honestly, it might be the best I've had in Stamford so far. I've tried a few different items from here and they've all been hits: * Chicken Egg Foo Young - flavorful, and the gravy ties it all together perfectly. * Pork Fried Rice - savory with good quality pork. * Beef and Broccoli - tender beef, rich sauce, and fresh broccoli. * Half Chicken and French Fries - not greasy at all, crispy fries, and a solid portion. * Pork Egg Rolls - some of the best I've had anywhere, big and full of flavor. * Spare Ribs - juicy, good flavor, and great size. The restaurant is pretty spacious inside, clean, and brightly lit, which makes it a comfortable spot to dine in. The staff is friendly, and there's convenient parking right out front and around the side. My only complaint is that it can be a little pricey for what it is, but the flavor and quality make up for it. Overall, Panda Garden delivers great food, great service, and a welcoming vibe. If you're craving Chinese, skip the chains and give this place a try -- you'll probably end up coming back like I did. read more

While in Stamford for an annual meeting, I found myself looking for take out to bring back to the hotel. Panda Garden was conveniently between the meeting site and hotel. I placed an order online and it was ready and waiting for me when I stopped to pick it up. I had the pork egg roll and a small sweet and sour chicken. There are a few tables and chairs should you opt to dine in, but this is a great place for takeout! Even with the small order, I had leftovers. read more

I had previously only picked up fried rice at Panda Garden, not much of a test of any Chinese restaurant's food, and since the place was kind of a dump, I was hesitant to try anything else. But on Yelp and elsewhere it has avid fans, so last night I tried their cashew chicken. There were a surprisingly large number of cashews, but the real surprise was the tiny morsels of what was supposedly chicken. It was wet, slimy, and mushy, and resembled no chicken I had ever eaten before in taste, appearance or texture. I really doubt it was actually chicken. It was vile. The gloppy sauce didn't help--not that anything could have helped. I threw it all away. I hear tell the place recently passed to the founder's kids, which may explain the discrepancy between past reviews and my experience. I'll never go near it again. read more

Panda Garden is one of the better Fast Food Chinese restaurant in Stamford. I have been here on several occassions. The food smells and tastes really good. I ordered boneless rib tips which were tender and juicy. I also had the General Tso Chicken, Shrimp with Broccoli and both dishes were really tasty. The General Tso Chicken wasn't soggy it had a nice crisp to it and of course the Shrimp with Broccoli was good with crunchy Broccoli. The best thing about this restaurant is that it was clean. You can actually see them preparing your food which is a good thing. I highly recommend checking out Panda Garden. read more

We ordered the Sesame chicken, dumplings, spring rolls, and vegetable lo mein. The chicken was flavorful and crispy! 6.7 out of 10 The dumplings were very doughy. 5 out of 10 Spring rolls, very good. Thick yet well cooked. 7 out of 10 Lo mein, noodles were also doughy. But the flavor was good. 6 out of 10 read more

"Oh Panda Bear, you can't seem to win No matter how hard you try" (Jefferson Airplane) I was visiting family in downstate Connecticut and we went the Panda Express route for lunch. Their menu is gargantuan! How about 13 appetizers, 11 soups, 8 fried rice variations, 7 chow meins, 7 lo meins, 6 mein funs, 7 pork dishes, 6 chicken dishes, 6 beef dishes, 3 sweet and sour dishes, 6 seafood dishes, 8 vegetarian dishes, 6 egg foo youngs, 12 Chef and Cantonese Specials, 6 diet dishes, and 6 combination plates. I mean seriously, you could eat here for the better part of six months and have something different every day. I had an Egg Drop Soup and Chicken with broccoli. The soup was unusually good. Sometimes the egg threads are so light and wispy, they are like eating cotton candy. Not so here. The egg threads were much thicker and substantial -actually quite good. My chicken and broccoli was a good sized portion with plenty of tender chicken, nicely cooked broccoli, a tasty brown sauce that left no pools of oil behind, and a good portion of well cooked white rice. I had zero complaints at all about my food. I'm not one of the bloggers who take off points because something isn't authentic Chinese, I grew up eating Chinese food from Jade Garden under the elevated subway on Jerome Avenue in the Bronx. I like American-Chinese food, and Panda Express sure did a great job with my lunch as far as I'm concerned. read more

Panda Garden - Chicken with broccoli and white rice - Chinese Near Me - Stamford, Connecticut

This place is the reason why I love fast Chinese food! They have been a neighborhood staple for many years and you can tell by the lines that the food is the best for miles around. The staff is very friendly and they remember you by name even if it has been years. Consistency is the word that describes their food, it is always good and I have never had a complaint about a dish. My go to is the shrimp with broccoli with garlic sauce and their general tso chicken. When I tell you this is the best and no need to go anywhere else, believe me. This is the place! read more

The best local spot i can't believe I've been missing. We ordered here for the holidays and loved the lo mein. They give you the old school Chinese takeout boxes if you ask! I recently ordered the boneless spare ribs, which I think were the best I've had, and a small vegetable fried rice, which, when mixed together, is euphoric. Great value for the amount of food and super quick delivery. Will be coming back frequently. read more

20+ years serving disgusting CT Chinese Takeout deceiving CT denizens in believing all Chinese food tastes like crap. I had ordered take out, Sesame Chicken and 2 orders of Singapore Mei Fun, no vegetables and they managed to serve it as disgusting as you could imagine. The wonton soup tasted like kidney stones dipped in castor oil and the mei fun was dry, spicy and somehow tasteless. They did throw in a free coke to compensate for the pain of $50 and the garbage they sent. In turns out Coca Cola was the star of the meal. This seems to be on par with Asian cuisine in lower Fairfield. Tasteless and mixed up. Bottom line I can't recommend this or many places In this area that serve any type of cuisine quite possibly other than Burger King. Zero stars Panda Garden on 15 High Ridge specializes in reconstituted garbage. read more

Will never go anywhere else, the best Chinese takeout! Lady at the front is incredibly sweet, has given free soda just because! Good food never disappoints and the place is clean. One of the few Chinese spots where you still see people dining in. read more

Very good service, food was just the way I wanted and I am picky/a fickle customer. Clean atmosphere does justice as well. Thumbs up.

Saw a good write up in Nextdoor app. Ordered take out online. Arrived 20 minutes later. They never received order. Waited almost another hour while it was "rushed." Arrived home, sampled each dish and threw the $80 bag of food into the dumpster because everything tasted and smelled off. read more

beware not acceptable for human consumption. i found feces (poop) in my food! they do not clean their food whatsoever! they also gave me at least a week old dumplings with some kind mystery meat in them! and they have fried chicken that are still full of feathers! i filed a complaint to the health department! do not eat here you will get sick and can contract e-coli or food poisoning!!! read more

Been going here for over 10 years, Helen treats you with care while also making sure everything is taken care of in a timely manner. The food and service is amazing. If you're looking for great food with amazing flavors this is absolutely top on the list. They have a variety of foods and meats from fried chicken and fries to shrimp lo mein. I recommend Panda Garden to anyone and everyone. You simply can't go wrong with any dish on the menu, not to mention the at home feeling you get while being there. read more

Long time favorite! It's a must-go anytime I'm in Stamford. The same people have been serving up delicious food there for at least 15 years (as long as I can remember going there) and neither their kindness nor the quality of the food has changed. It's certainly not the fanciest place out there, but the food is great and the prices are reasonable. I love their bean curd with mixed veg and veg fried rice. Their veggie spring rolls are great too--tastes like there might be a hint of ginger in them which is excellent! read more

Not a fan, both dishes had same sauce, suppose to be garlic sauce, but more of a sweet red sauce. Bean curd was not sautéed, but just cooked in this sauce. Better choices in town. read more

I ordered a large beef and broc, a large general sow, and three egg rolls. The egg rolls were way over cooked and hard like a rock. The portion size was a joke. Both of my large were small orders and I know for sure because I ordered there many times before at lunch, so I know the size and the price. $52 for this order of garbage over cooked fat and breading. Then to make it worse they messed my general sow order up by giving me broccolis with it rather than pork fried rice. Then the woman tells me on the phone that you have to order the combination to get the pork fried rice. Who the hell asked for broccolis I asked her. My general sow chicken was clumps of overcooked fatty breading with a tiny piece of chicken inside. I ate maybe 4 pieces of the chicken out of 10 or so pieces. Total waste of money. I'm telling you these people have taken greed to a new level. NEVER ORDER FROM THEM. You have been WARNED. They plain outright STINK! I believe they pay people to give them positive reviews because it does not make sense for people to glow over these losers. read more

I had the "House Special" Chicken Luncheon Special (11am-3pm) today. It was delicious! Full of fresh vegetables, tender chicken and a slightly spicy sauce, brown rice and hot tea. Large portion. Nice people, Covid protocols. WOW! Highly recommend. I will be back asap! read more

Amazing food and such a beautiful place to dine me and my mother absolutely love this place especially their scallion pancakes a must try!! And their Apple sake!!! read more

The food was perfect. Everything is fresh and well cooked .The owner is very nice and pleasant to deal with. Prices were reasonable.

Food was recommended to me by one of my clients, it was horrible to say the least. I had house fried rice and a shrimp roll. How can you manage to mess up house fried rice ? The chicken was undercooked, white and slimy and the beef was gray meaning it had to be very old. The shrimp roll was subpar to say the least. The place is very unclean as well, don't get me wrong I'm use to eating Chinese food at places that resemble a hole in the wall but they don't have built up grime on the floors just take a look in the corners of the restaurant very filthy! read more

Lady on the phone is rude. The food has gotten bad over years. Just found a nice juicy bug. I'm done with this place. read more

My aunt and uncle in CT rave about this place and recommend it to all of their friends. They even get this food for parties, in large quantities. After an hour long drive from Long Island, NY, my uncle proposes that I look over the menu and pick something so he can go get it. After much reluctance (and knowing I would not be eating til much later that night), I ordered a Shrimp and Veggie Lunch Special. Thank GOD I did that! I was ravenous and tore open that container after smelling the wonderfule fare. BOUNTIFUL SHRIMP! BOUNTIFUL AMOUNTS OF VEGGIES! To my surprise, this was no MSG-laden, carbon copy chinese take-out spot. It was seriously fresh. For the $7 my uncle shelled, he got a great deal. I ate everything and left the rice. I did eat a couple of spoonfulls and it was good too. Great take-out! I don't know about the sit-in but I heard that was good too! read more

Fair prices ,good food, fast delivery. No frills solid Chinese food. My go to for delivery and takeout

I normally don't ever review Chinese take out places as they are all normally standard across the board. But I've got to give this place a shout out. The interior is actually really clean and there are plenty of tables to sit at (normally I'm used to questionably dirty take outs with one or two tiny tables). The portion for take in is amazing! They give so much and it's not drenched in grease, which I appreciate. The prices are phenomenal with lunch being $5.50 and dinner around $7 for massive portions. The owner was very friendly and my food came out within 5 minutes. Overall highly impressed and would definitely go back. I think I found my new favorite Chinese take out. Highly recommend you guys try it out as well :) read more

Called for a deliver but ended up waiting over an hour for it. By the time it gets to me it's already cold and I didn't even get an apology.

This is my favorite Chinese restaurant in Stamford. The wonton soup is just great and they give you lots of it. I like to eat at the restaurant and I'm satisfied with their food and their prices. Everyone is nice and it's a nice walk to get here and go home after. They let you bring in yours own drinks which is also great. read more

So - I am the yearbook advisor at Westhill High School. We ordered lunch today for our class to take a "working lunch." Upon opening the bag, we were short an order of Sesame Chicken with white rice. I - the teacher/adult - called Panda Garden to let them know, and see if there was any way they'd deliver it for the one kid who was now left out. The woman I "spoke to" - and it's hard to say spoke to, because she wouldn't let me get a word in edgewise - informed me that NO mistake had been made, they "were not busy" when we placed our order, the chicken must be in the bag. I said it was not, I had eyes, and it was not there. She said "a kid must have taken it." Again - I ordered this food FOR MY CLASS. We are sitting together working on yearbook pages and eating it. No one came in, stole the food, and left. She told me that not only would no rectification be made, but that "Westhill High School should lose their number" and "never order from Panda Garden again" she'd "had it with all of us." Okay then. We won't. read more
