Excellent food and prompt friendly service.Food is quickly prepared after ordering and comes out hot.

We ate here as a last resort as we were traveling through and didn't have a lot of options. Being in the middle between Wake Forest and Durham, options are scarce. We ordered our usual order at other restaurants and were quite disappointed by our food. The General Tso's didn't even have any broccoli in it. The noodles were very over cooked and the general taste of the food was quite bland. They asked if it was for here or to go, and we ate in the dining area. They essentially dropped the to-go containers on the table and walked away. No discussions, no asks for feedback, not even a smile. Seems like there is a complete disconnect. The restrooms were clean, and the feel of the dining area was sterile. I hope they can find some effort to turn things around. read more

Long hair dude behind counter insists on yelling non stop. Super annoying. Get your food and go. The atmosphere to sit down is awful as a result. read more

On a Sunday afternoon, there is a conundrum on Creedmoor when it comes to ordering Chinese takeout. There is only 1 decent takeout place in the Creedmoor/Butner area, and it was closed. So, I talked my buddy into ordering for his family and I ordered takeout for my bride and myself from Panda Garden. I decided to try something on the menu I had never had before, anywhere, the Singapore rice noodle. Decent dish, I really liked it. Not as spicy as I hoped it would be but I have a variety of hot sauces at the house that can really liven dishes up. The Crab Rangoon were also good. The order was up quickly and back up the road to Creedmoor we went. All in all, Creedmoor to here, ordering upon arrival, cooking/prepping and then back to Creedmoor was right at 1/2 hour. Quick service and better food than what was available in the immediate Creedmoor area. It seems it might be worth the drive to keep coming out here or to see if GrubHub will deliver. read more

This is one of those places that has the pictures of the food that you can order. Many people will say stay away but I'm here to tell you the food here is good! They have a big menu of all kinds of classic dishes to some that are for those of us who like to eat different type of Asian food and authentic food. The service here is fast and they are Asian, which is probably why all he dished we have had have been pretty dang good. My only complaint is that the breaded chicken in dishes like sweet and sour chicken is thick but they give you so much chicken, I can overlook the amount of breading. Ambiance...it's in a small strip shopping center, so it's nothing fancy. You can eat in, but we never have as they restaurant is 3 mins from our house. read more

The broccoli is so good. Actually, all the veggies are fresh and perfectly cooked. My favs are the Four Season, Chicken and Vegetables, and Sesame Chicken. But my fav is THE BROCCOLI! They're always so friendly and food is always ready for take-out when we arrived. My go-to for fresh, great Chinese takeout!! read more

Ordered here to takeout and it was very meh to me. We got tofu schezuan, Four season, lo-mein, and wonton soup. The tofu wasn't cooked at all, to the point of it still be super soft and retaining no flavor at all. The four season was decent, besides the fact that the beef had a very off-putting flavor and there were 2 shrimp in the entire dish. Lo-mein was good, had great flavor, but the noodles were a bit thin and therefore got crunchy when fried. The wonton soup was good to me with more authentic noodles; more filling than noodle unlike other places, although the side of crunchy noodles they gave were very stale. Overall- I got takeout on a busy Friday night, but I am not sure I will be back. Service was quick to take my money, but the food did not live up to my expectations. read more

I'm a repeat Panda Garden customer for a few years but this might be my last visit. Picked up Pork Lo Mein tonight. On about the third bite I chomped in something so hard I thought I damaged a tooth. After inspecting it appears bone, cartilage or hard gristle was served in my meal. The meat was loaded with this substance. I stopped looking after finding 8 pieces of it. Gross. At best, the attention to detail is lacking, at worst is an attempt to save a buck. It's disappointing I called the store but the preteen on the phone was apologetic but wasn't equipped to handle my complaint. Probably my last visit. read more

The food can be on point and sensational or it will lack any flavor, I assume it depends on who is cooking it. The service is quick and the staff was friendly. We went through the drive thru so I can't rate the ambiance. read more

Having been here dozens of times in the last 8 years, I can say that I have never had a bad meal. The egg rolls are A+, always freshly made and just perfectly fried. All the soups are delicious, particularly the won ton. And I have had a dozen or so of the entrees and found them all excellent. The fried rice dishes are particularly good. Highly recommended. The recipes are the closest you will find to New York Chinatown. Quick service. Owned by husband and wife who are always on site. read more

It has bee about 4 months since I ordered from Panda Garden. Today I ordered the Hot and Sour Soup and the Triple Szechuan. I was surprisingly DISAPPOINTED. They must have changed chefs because both the soup and entree had very little taste. Hot and Sour soup was bland mostly sour and no heat. Szechuan had little taste. I guess I will be looking to try other Asian take outs. I am very disappointed, I have been going here for years. read more

This place was a lot farther than I expected because it has a Wake Forest zip code. It is actually closer to Creedmore and North Raleigh! Don't let that deter you though. This is currently my favorite Chinese Restaurant, despite the distance from my house, and despite that there are at least 3 other Chinese Restaurants near me. My family and I usually order the Sesame Chicken, Mongolian Beef, House Special Lo Mein, and Four Seasons. Each of the dishes that we've tried so far has been delicious. The flavors are well balanced, the meat and vegetables are well cooked, and most importantly taste just as good the next day. These four dishes give us leftovers for at least 2 more meals, with the rice that is included with each dish. It's a small establishment with a small dining area, so all of our orders have been takeout. This doesn't take away from the quality though and the prices are reasonable. I highly recommend this place! read more

Love the convenience of having them so close. Food can be really good but also the other way. Need to work on consistency.

This was our favorite Chinese food to carry out. It was always fresh in the past but, something has changed over the last couple of months. We ending up not feeling well and the taste was off the last 2 times. We will not be back again. read more

Panda Garden doesn't look like much, and the menu is what you'd expect from any Chinese takeout place... but everything is very high quality, delicious, and freshly prepared. This is our favorite of its kind in Raleigh. read more

Fresh and delicious Chinese food. Best around in my opinion. They're super fast and the potion sizes are great.

Went on a hike at Falls Lake and saw this place on the way home and I am SO glad my husband and I stopped! We had the General Tso's chicken with white rice and sesame chicken with fried rice and both were fantastic. We ordered via phone in the parking lot and it was ready within 10 minutes. My husband went in to pick up our order and said that their sanitation measures are impressive and he felt really comfortable about their takeout process with customers. The lunch special value--price ($5.85) and how much food you get--is amazing and we both will have lunch tomorrow. We've been looking for really solid Chinese takeout for a while now and we have definitely found it in Panda Garden! read more

I have been to Panda Garden twice now and both times were very good. I have tried the wonton, egg drop, and hot & sour soups and all were quite good with my fav being the latter. Entrees have all been very tasty with very good sauces, and the fried rice is delish. I will definitely be back soon! read more

Good Chinese food at a good price and generous portions too. You couldn't ask for more.

Saw Kyle B review and also being from the North East (CT) I haven't found any decent Chinese food . This place was right on point !! Delicious Chinese like I'm used to . Ordered the beef n broccoli. Was yummy. General Chow was off the hook (White meat)ordered Xtra spicy and they delivered!! Crab Rangoon was also yummy. Wish it was 20 miles away which in NC means a good 40 minutes. But I will definitely be back. And bill was $25. For 2 combos and an app. read more

Panda continues to provide great Chinese takeout. Had Hunan chicken combo with fried rice, hot and sour soup, and egg rolls. Everything was fresh, spicy, and tasty. We are lucky to have this local option. read more

It has been a journey to find decent Chinese food down here in North Carolina. We took for granted how many great Chinese places we had back in New England. Panda Garden's owners are originally from New York and the food here is authentic New York style American Chinese food. The chicken is all white meat, it isn't over breaded and the quality is much better than any other place we have found in Raleigh or the surrounding area. The crab rangoons are really good, the dumplings were above average and the egg rolls were delicious. All in all, a great experience. read more

Some of the best Chinese I've ever had - super fresh and made quickly! Nice portion sizes too so we can feed our hungry family of 6 with 3 entrees read more

A wonderful new Chinese place in wake forest! We ordered dinner to go, and were very pleased! The service was friendly and fast! The inside is very clean and bright. The dining area is not very big, but that's okay considering most people probably place "to-go" orders anyways. We ordered a small hot and sour soup, egg rolls, orange chicken, and moo shu vegetable. The food was packaged very thoughtfully so that it would make it back to the house without spilling, etc. The soup and egg rolls were good, about what I expected. I really liked the moo shu vegetable! It had really good flavor. The orange chicken was my favorite. It came with the perfect amount of sauce, and even contained small pieces of real orange peel! The chicken was meaty and crispy too! Can't wait to try more dishes from here! I'm so glad more restaurants are finally popping up in this area! read more

Happy Dance.... We got a Chinese take out way out here in the boonies. So so happy they are here. Food is fresh and made to order Endless options on the menu, every classic item and more. Peanut free for friends with allergies. I love the simple chicken noodle when feeling under the weather. Service is friendly and fast too read more

Best Chinese in The Lake Region. The Singapore Noodles are great as are the rolls and chicken wings.

Broccoli chicken is my go to dish. Taste great, good portion, consistently fresh. dinner portion can feed one adult one toddler. The lady who runs the shop is super pleasant to deal with too. My son loves it and it's a winner to get him eating every single time! read more

I ordered delivery via grub hub only to receive my food and my order was incorrect! I really tried to be patient but to get simple things like shrimp vs. chicken, large vs. small, house special lo mein to get it with no meat! Come on....where is the quality control! You have lost a customer, I will give another local business my business! read more

Finally! Good Chinese food! We just had our first order from Panda Garden and we will be calling them again. They have the best steamed dumplings I've had since we moved to NC, the shrimp in my shrimp and broccoli were nicely cooked. My husband enjoyed his pad thai and said the egg rolls were the "right kind" but that they could have used 30 seconds longer in the fryer. We look forward for trying additional dishes from their menu. read more

This place is my go-to Chinese take-out in the Triangle. I make the drive from Brier Creek to Wake Forest -- it's that good. I'm a born-and-raised New Yorker, and this place checks all the boxes for the Chinese food I had back up North (to be fair, it's Americanized, but that's what I'm after). Everything's always super tasty, and the staff couldn't be nicer if they tried. Even on busy days orders are ready quickly and accurately. read more

Awesome food! Much better than the run of the mill Chinese takeout joints. The chicken isn't fatty or gristly here like many of those places & they don't over bread the chicken either. Steamed dumplings are amazing as well ! However on a different occasion I ordered the pad Thai and it is disgusting! Completely bland. Extremely disappointed. read more

Very good Americanized Chinese / Tai takeout in Harris Teeter / Bojangles plaza on 98 Durham Rd just west of the 50 Creedmoor intersection. Clean. Quick. Accurate. Great General Chicken. Very Tasty Moo Shoo Pork. Perfectly spiced Pad Tai. Try Mei Fun dishes - especially Singapore Rice Noodle. Killer Crab Rangoons. read more

This has been my favorite Chinese take-out for just over 2 years now! My favorite is their broccoli with garlic sauce with brown rice. General Tso chicken, Kung Pao, Singapore noodles and sweet and sour chicken is also really good. I do have to agree with another review and say their pad Thai wasn't good both times I've tried it but they definitely will continue to get our business regularly for our other faves. Very nice staff and always quick! read more

Best Chinese I have had in the Wake Forest area with good prices and large servings. Good quality food and fast service. The owners' are very nice and remember your face too. read more

This is by far one of my favorite for takeout. Quick and easy but yet very good. Not as fast foodie as most others in Raleigh.

It was ok had take out Boneless ribs --not good dry tasteless Hot and Sour Soup Pretty good not top notch but would order again Szechwan chicken pretty good decent flavor and a bit spicy would order again Limited choice in the area but not a bad choice read more

Take out. Food was ready in less than 10 mins. Sesame chicken was soggy and not at all crispy, also lacked sesame seeds.

Me and my coworkers eat here at least once a week! Fast and friendly service! Never been to a take out Chinese place that actually let me change my order as much and offer white meat chicken with out it being a hassle. Owner is super nice. Love this place. Only complaint is its a bit small inside but for a take out joint it's nice n cute (: read more

This was the first and last time to go here. Food was less than appetizing. I had Szechwan chicken and it had NO spice. The pork fried rice, part of the plate, had no pork and the rice tasted stale (how can rice taste stale?) not going back. read more

I eat from here at least weekly. It is delicious and a refreshing change from all of the other Chinese take out places in the Raleigh area.
