Panda House was closed for a few years so it's been a while since I've been there. My band was playing in marathon on New Year's Eve and I needed some takeout so grabbed some. first of all they were crazy busy in there with huge orders going out the door for 50 people 60 people 100 people. And they told me my order would be a while. Very friendly staff am my order came really quick. I'm thinking like about 15 minutes. so my thought was that maybe things were pre-cooked but it wasn't the case. I got several appetizers several entrées and to my amazement. everything was excellent- wasn't too salty. It wasn't oily it wasn't overcooked and it was so hot. It clearly was cooked fresh. wonton soup could've had a little more vegetables for me, but the wontons were tender, steamed dumplings, tender, juicy excellent chicken wings maybe be the best I ever had not greasy not salty not too much bread. Broccoli and garlic sauce not overcooked not too salty no oil. Same for some Chinese noodles and shrimp I couldn't have been more pleasantly surprised and pleased. It is so hard to find decent Chinese food anywhere. This was takeout and food was well packaged. Nice inside, great staff, excellent food!!

Amazing! The owner is so nice and the prices are reasonable. It's take out only for now. Just happy to have it back

While the food here was not spectacular, (I come from a family of restaurateurs, am half Chinese, and prefer my food well-seasoned), it was fresh and tasty and a welcome respite from overpriced, not-so-great seafood. For the taste, the portions, and the reasonable price, the food was well worth it. I will go back again the next time I am in the area.

This food has no flavor. Having lived in NYC, and on the west coast, I know great Chinese food. This is awful.

Enjoyed everything, potstickers are very crispy and thick, wonton soup still very tasty. Pork bao were nice, slightly sweet pork with cucumber and cilantro. The fried rice also very good with a very nice flavor, again we over ordered but we still pretty much took it all down. Service is great, staff super nice. And if I ever come back to Key West I know where I'll make a few stops. It's very nice to have the variety in this area. Definitely recommend.

Instead of being accommodating, the owner clearly showed frustration on his face. That reaction alone was surprising. Later, when we decided to order more food, he came to our table with a tablet and told us that next time he would not allow us to add more orders. Seriously? I was there with kids, and they were hungry. Because of that, I chose not to walk out and go to another restaurant, even though I wanted to. The food itself was burned, and combined with the poor attitude, it made the experience even worse. I didn't travel all the way to Key West to be treated like this. I would strongly recommend choosing another restaurant.

3.5, but I'll give it a 4…read more Takara -- ThaiSushi with personality (and a few rules you need to learn fast). First, this place is busy. If my dining room shot looks oddly empty, that's because I was explicitly told not to photograph people. Apparently someone recently went full creep mode taking pictures of diners and had to be removed by police. So yes--AI cleanup it is. I'm here for dinner, not a misdemeanor. Now, the food. The chef-owners are from Burma (Myanmar) and Thailand, and that absolutely comes through. This isn't your standard Americanized Thai-Sushi mashup. They claim to make many of their curry pastes in-house, and based on what we tasted, I believe it. But before you order, you need to understand how this place works: *Vegetables are cooked softer than most Asian kitchens *Spice is opt-in only -- if you don't ask, you're getting no chile *Levels are blunt: nothing / medium / hot / Thai hot *Even at "nothing," you're still getting fish sauce--so there's baseline funk *The crowd leans older, local, and very much the boating set--which explains some of these defaults We started with soups: The tom kha gai is excellent, but not the creamy coconut-heavy version most people expect. This leans closer to a tom yum with a touch of coconut milk--lighter, sharper, hot/sour/sweet, and very drinkable. The wonton soup--house-made chicken wontons in a clean vegetable broth--was simple and very well executed. Then things got uneven. The spicy herb noodle (tofu, medium) is listed as egg noodle with egg, chili paste, vegetables, and curry powder--but what actually shows up is closer to a yellow curry noodle stir-fry hybrid. The flavor is excellent. The chili paste + curry powder combination gives it real depth--warm, slightly sweet, properly spiced. But the default egg noodle is a problem. It comes out completely overcooked--soft to the point of collapse. When I asked, I was told that's just how it is. They also ignored the "no bell pepper" request. Which is frustrating, because the base is strong enough that this could be one of the best dishes on the menu. The obvious fix: order it with flat rice noodles instead So we pivoted. The drunken noodle (Pad Kee Mao) with flat rice noodles (tofu, no bell pepper--this time honored) was much better structurally and just as flavorful. But it's worth noting: this isn't a textbook pad kee mao. It eats closer to a pad see ew with heat--slightly sweeter, less aggressive on basil and aromatics--but with a noticeable chile kick. At medium, it was actually spicier than the spicy herb noodle. Still, this was the better noodle dish overall. The massaman curry was the service hiccup. It first arrived as chicken instead of beef. They insisted I ordered it that way--which, no--but they did remake it. And it delivered. The curry is clearly not from a paste jar--layered, slightly sweet, and consistent with everything else we had. There's a mild sweetness across the menu, but it's controlled. Next time I'd go hotter than medium. Final take: Takara isn't sloppy--it's idiosyncratic. This reads like Thai food filtered through a Burmese lens--softer, slightly sweeter, less aggressive on herbs, with chile doing more of the work than aromatics. There's a real kitchen here doing legit work, but the execution depends heavily on how you order. Defaults are tuned for a conservative crowd, not for precision or intensity. If you order casually, you may leave frustrated. If you direct the experience--protein, noodle type, spice level, exclusions--you'll eat very well. Would I go back? Yes. Would I be more explicit next time? Absolutely.

We love this place, but be prepared for a wait. Usually 1 to 1.5 hours from being seated to paying…read moreyour check. Food is fresh and made to order. They have a lot of take out orders which sometimes seems to take precedence over customers eating in house. Would still highly recommend!

Located near Publix on the waterside (not to be confused with the Fleming Street location), it's easily the best Chinese restaurant I've experienced. Who knew Key West had such a hidden gem? From the moment you walk in, the fresh, inviting aroma sets the tone, paired with a spotless, welcoming dining area. The service is top notch, provided by professional, knowledgeable staff, and the whiteboard in the dining room features daily specials. The "Happy Family" was outstanding, expertly prepared, full of flavor, and made with incredibly fresh ingredients. You can tell they use high-quality oil, and the generous portions and consistent quality impressed me throughout. We sampled a variety of appetizers, all delicious. The homemade wontons were a standout both fried and steamed were great, though the steamed were my favorite. The beverage selection is excellent. With its immaculate setting, fresh ingredients, attentive service, and consistent excellence, this place blends comfort and sophistication beautifully. Capping it off, a leisurely stroll to the nearby shops and grocery store next door made for a perfect ending.
