    Moo goo gai pan chicken.
    Tay E.

    Good fresh chinese takeout tried the moo goo gai pan and garlic beef on the suggestion of the owner and was good. Also the jumbo shrimp with snow peas was tasty. Not like a big city takeout but good for lunch. Will definitely come back.

    The food was delicious. The service was great and the food came in a timely manner. Everything was reasonably priced. The portion of food you get also was good. One meal was enough to feed 2 people.

    In the Kroger shopping center. Grand Opening 12/14/15!!

    So, there are a couple of booths and 2 tables but it looks like they're set up mostly for takeout. The menu is pretty standard for an East Tennessee Chinese storefront. And it still has that new Panda smell! Very clean very prompt. I ordered beef and broccoli and asked them to make it spicy; it was sort of spicy but not too hot. The hot and sour soup was good. They opened about 2 weeks later than they expected to open. More will be revealed.

    Big take out menu -- friendly service

    First of all it is nice that there is a local Chinese restaurant for takeout and dining near the university now. So bravo and I am happy you are here!!! The Kroger strip mall is becoming food central with all the recent and existing restaurants now - there are at least 6 at my count. This is great for us locals - I hope it will be good for the restaurants that have opened as well. I was excited to go to Panda House for the first time to check it out. I spent some time talking to the manager that opened this location - apparently the owner is in MO and has a few locations -- she has done a great job getting this one open and is very enthusiastic to see this one do well. So I asked what menu item she would most recommend. She came up with General Tso's Chicken - this was one of the most expensive (for this location) item on the menu coming in at $10 which is pretty high for an item for take out at a Chinese restaurant here. I took her advice anyway .. I was surprised I was not asked what type of rice I wanted -- so I got white rice which was okay. I also order the Hot and Sour Soup $2 which is excellent!!. Everything is cooked to order which is great. General Tso's chicken was overly sweet and ( my own fault) not very healthy. I will be trying healthier options in the future. But I would call it average .. not great but pretty good. The lunch menu has great prices and I will try that next. All orders come with won tons and of course a fortune cookie. I really want to give a higher rating in the future but for value and taste for the food I got I would call this place average thus the ratings. Never the less I am glad they opened and will give them more chances to increase my rating.

    The chow mein noodles are dried up. They must've changed their supplier. Very poor, poor quality.

    Really went downhill. Food is bland and has unexpected ingredients. Hostess who took my call was short and almost angry.

    Not. I ordered the spicy broccoli and shrimp. Very bland and tasteless. The chicken wings tasted like they came from frozen banquet.

    Well the food has been great and the service was always professional, until this last visit in…read moreOctober of 2025, when I looked closely at my bill. They had run the credit card in "authorize" mode with an estimated total plus tip amount in tiny print, then took that amount and printed it in bold as the actual receipt Total *without tip*, and then put a line below that to add MORE tip, effectively doubling the expected tip. When I noticed this and asked a manager about it, she gave an answer that was "yes we know this is happening but don't know how to stop it from doing that, golly gosh technology is hard" and we specifically marked on our receipt we were fine with the first estimated tip amount but did not agree to doubling that, completely scratched out the prior written amounts before we understood what was going on, and left feeling not so great but hopeful we would only be charged for one tip. Days later the statement comes in, we were double charged for the tip even though we signed a receipt with only one tip amount. That's not legal guys, that's fraud. Look I understand, tech is hard, running a business is hard, running a restaurant these days is really tough. But you can't let your credit cards get charged incorrectly, and I'm pretty sure you know this and are doing it anyway.

    Wow! Outstanding food in this cool bistro. Don't let the location fool you - just because it's in…read morea strip center doesn't mean the experience is low brow. Ate in the bar area because the main dining room was closed for a private event. About 10 tables dot the room, plus 8 at the bar. The vibe and decor is French bistro. Started with burrata and prosciutto cheese board. A creamy ball of fresh burrata is served with slices of prosciutto, crackers, crisps and basil. Everything is bright and fresh, the contrast of the sweet cheese and the salty meat with the crunch of the bread. And the presentation is as mouthwatering as the food. Next, tried the ahi tuna. A nice portion of tuna, cooked perfectly (seared on the edge and raw in the center), and then adorned with sesame seeds. The tuna is topped with sliced avocado and scallions and drizzled with a sweet teriyaki sauce. Plus a scoop of sticky rice. An excellent rendition. Lastly, a chocolate souffle. It takes 15 minutes to cook, but it's well worth the wait. The thin souffle rises in the ramekin as it cooks. Tableside, you puncture the souffle to add the scoop of vanilla ice cream to the molten chocolate inside. One of my favorites, and this was really really good. This place is a must try. Go!
