I've been meaning to review this place for some time, because it really is a hidden gem. It's at one end of a small strip mall. It seems to be a mom and pop kind of place, and some of my favorite Chinese restaurants have been that kind. I've mainly had their beef broccoli or some sort of lo mein, but my wife has been more adventurous and shares my high regard. We don't get that way too often since we live on the lower East side, but we do make a point of including a stop here in any plans that take us down 38. Like many similar restaurants, they seem to be mainly a take out place, but they have a nice row of booths and some tables, and the service has been fine. It's a very unpretentious place but worth checking out.

I'm editing this review because our visit today was somewhat flavorless. The price has gone up and the flavor has gone down. Not sure what happened. Also they did not restock with food with any urgency so bins were empty during our visit. The staff in the eating area was the same gal and very pleasant, helpful and attentive . But overall we were not as impressed as with precious visits.

General Tso's Chicken

Edible = yes. Good = no. As someone newer to Oak Creek, I've been trying lots of local restaurants to find my "new favorites". Yelp rarely stars me wrong so seeing the 4 star average, felt Panda Gourmet was worth a try. I foolishly ignored the reviews referring to the fried rice as "rice-a-roni". Ease of ordering online was nice. My order was ready on time and was accurate. However, the food was not very good. The chicken fried rice was awful. It should have been called "onion rice". Where were the eggs, peas, carrots, etc.?? I've never had fried rice like this before and I hope I never do again. All you could taste or smell was onions. The only other vegetable in the dish was bean sprouts. For entrees, we ordered the General Tso's chicken and Orange Peel chicken. They were just OK. The breading was not very crispy or flavorful. The sauces were both sweet, which was expected. Even though the Orange Peel has peppers and is advertised as spicy, there was no spice to be tasted. They just missed the mark. Overall I will not be back to Panda Gourmet. Too bad because I really wanted to like them.

I had high hopes for this place because it was one of the busiest Asian places I can remember in a long time and people kept coming in all for the buffet and I was the only one to grab a lunch combo to go. The place is nice and small that looked very clean with a friendly staff to greet you as you walk in. The buffet is either cheap or the best one in the area because everyone was eating it. I ordered the General Taos chicken lunch special with pork fried rice that has a choice side and I ordered the hot and sour soup. The General Taos chicken was not hot or spicy at all with the puffy dark meat style of chicken, thick spongy breading by the time I got it home. The pork fried rice was average at best with bean spread, half cooked onions and tiny pieces of pork mostly with al dente rice, not over cooked. The broccoli had some crunch left in it that I liked. Overall it was a solid average lunch combo but not one of the really great one and I thought it would be better judging by big lunch crowd.

Sweet and sour lunch special w/wonton soup + vegetable fried rice

Their food is pretty delicious and hit the spot. This is probably enough food for at least a couple of meals. I like that the sweet and sour chicken has a hint of garlic in it. I am still on the hunt for sweet and sour chicken with green peppers, onions, and pineapples in it though. The vegetable fried rice had a nice variety of fresh veggies mixed in. The wonton soup broth was perfect, but I wish you could opt for an appetizer other than soup with the lunch special. Feels a little crazy eating soup in the heat lol. I'll likely be ordering from them again.

This is one of those word of mouth places you continuously thank which ever friend/family member that told you about it. Stand out item for me here is the Crab Rangoon. I have not had a Crab Rangoon that comes close to the quality of China House. I have been a loyal customer for over two years now and don't plan on deviating anytime soon!

NOTE: the pictures of the menu/prices on Yelp are VERY outdated. Some items may no longer be available, and the prices are higher, but fairly reasonable. This restaurant does a brisk phone/carryout business; however, there is a small dining area in the next room. In any case, you place your order at the counter and pay in advance. We were able to order the items we wanted; however, a few errors were made with my sister's order (Shrimp and Vegetables). Thankfully, she was able to pick out the vegetables she couldn't eat. She also ordered Crab Rangoon, and it was about average. My Shrimp Egg Foo Young was delicious. The portion size was generous, and I was able to take home more than half of the order. The Veggie Spring Rolls I ordered were small, but hot and crispy. I was disappointed that I did not receive the hot mustard that I requested, but there were other dipping sauces available, so I made do. Both of our meals came with our choice of white rice or fried rice, so we both chose the fried rice. We received our food quickly, and everything was piping hot. We both felt that they did a very good job with the food, despite the minor errors. I do believe that there may have been a slight communication issue due to language, but if you don't have a special request, you should do just fine. In any case, we both liked it enough to say that we would go back again. The restaurant is not fancy, but it's casual and welcoming. The lobby and dining area were clean, and the bathroom was clean, well stocked, and it smelled fresh.

It can get really loud in here so you may have to shout a bit at your dining party. I would definitely recommend having a reservation. I don't think there was an empty seat in the whole place the entire hour and a half that we were there. Service: Really helpful and kept our waters filled and did pretty decent with the tempo of the meal. The entrees came out before we were finished with the appetizers and with how small the tables are it was an insanely tight fit and basically a juggling act, but that's minor. Drinks: We got the sake flight and I highly recommend this, it was delicious and a good variety of different flavor profiles, yum! Food: We ordered the xiao long bao and shu mei for appetizers. I preferred the shu mei and my partner preferred the xiao long bao. Which was nice that we each had an opposite preference. We also ordered the tonkatsu ramen and the mapo tofu. The tonkatsu ramen was a bit bland and it was interesting with the corn in it...however the chasu pork that topped it was delicious and plenty! The mapo tofu honestly might be the best I've had. I would order that every week if I lived in the area. The spice level was perfect on it with ample amounts of pork (I LOVE spicy food and this was exactly what I was looking for, my partner took one bite and started to sweat so be careful lol). Since I can't find this level of mapo tofu where I live I'm going to add this of things to learn how to cook at home, yay!

We started with the pork belly bao and an order of soup dumplings. The pork belly was heavily sauced with a hoisin-type sauce and the dumplings were quite bland. I definitely recommend eating them with the vinegar and s side of hot pepper oil. I had the Szechuan beef noodle soup and my daughter ordered the Miso ramen. Both the soups pretty much looked the same. It seem like they use the same broth for both soups. My soup is very planned I had to add the vinegar for some flavor. The food was okay. Service was friendly. The interior is a basic eat in restaurant.
