    All four food groups, plus soda
    Byron C.

    When I saw that this would be my 100th Yelp review, I knew that it had to be somewhere special, and when I saw that Panda Hut had opened, I knew that this would be the place. I used to eat here back in the dark ages, when it was a Jack in the Box. This was *way* pre-2016. The only person who had a camera phone at the time was Data from the Goonies. At a certain point, in the early '90s, a few kids died from eating tainted beef from Jack in the Box. Tacos dropped down to three for a dollar--a price unimaginable in Joe Brandon's America. We started eating there even more often, and believe it or not, I never suffered so much as an upset stomach. The Lord meant for me to eat here. I was surprised and perhaps a bit concerned to see that the interior of this place is nearly indistinguishable from how it looked 30-plus years ago, as if it had somehow been preserved in amber like that mosquito in Jurassic Park--this despite the fact that it sat boarded up for years. I'm surprised a squirrel or something didn't get in there. Based on the name, I assumed that this was a knockoff version of Panda Express, and I was hoping that it was full-on copyright infringement, like McDowell's in the movie Coming to America, with only slight differences in the names of menu items, e.g. Citrus Chicken instead of Express' signature Orange Chicken; Mighty Greens instead of Super Greens. Instead, this place could more accurately be described as a version of that Dollar Chinese place that used to be down the street, but with a more conventional pricing structure. (If that place still existed, they'd have to change the name to Two Dollar Chinese, amirite?) Rather than paying a dollar per scoop of various warmed over mall food court-style Chinese entrees, you can get combos with one, two or three of them and a side of your choice, either noodles or rice. I asked the Yung Guy who was working there if he had any recommendations. He asked me if I liked spicy food (this must be an issue there). I explained to him that I'm a grown man on the wrong side of 40 with the capacity for discernment, so... uh, yes. He recommended the Chef's Special Spicy Chicken and even let me try it, as if we were at a 31 Flavors. It was delicious, and I noticed it looked fresh and abundant, like maybe they'd just brought out a pan. Which brings me to an issue you're likely to have with this place, especially if you dine in. This stuff just sits under heat lamps and may or may not be fresh. Everything I had was surprisingly good for what it was, but only the entree was truly fresh, and even that may have been a lucky coincidence. None of it was that old, but why would I want anything at all that wasn't still alive when I walked in the door? This is a Chinese restaurant, not a McDonald's.

    Noodles, orange chicken, General Tso's Chicken

    I don't want to hate on a local business, after trying three of their entrees, I was not encouraged to come back and eat more. I got their noodles, orange chicken and general tso's. I was so so hungry and everything looked so good. I had one bite of everything and instantly got disappointed. I had seen so many influencers describing how delicious the entrees were so maybe I had really high expectations. The noodles were oily and flavorless and the chicken was overly saucy, tender, and tangy but that's it. I don't think I'll come back. The restaurant is in an older restaurant so it looks dull and unattractive inside but it did look relatively clean. I picked up my order so I can't say much about the service.

    This place is new and has a lot of things to work on. It's really nice on the inside and spacious. The service was really good as well but the food was bad for me. To me reminds me of a lower Panda Express I got the two entree plate with crab Rangoon and eegroll. The rice - was super mushy and tasted really salty I got the orange chicken and General Tso chicken but when I ate it I couldn't tell the difference. They tasted the same to me. The Rangoons and eggroll I didn't like at all. Maybe I'll come back in a couple months or year to see if they improved.

    They are a local and family owned business offering fast casual Chinese food that you can dine in, take out, drive-thru and order through multiple food delivery apps. Their menu features multiple staples such as General Tso's and Kungpao Chicken but also chef's specialties as well. I was so excited because everything looked delicious. They got good deals for the combos. I got 2 entrees and a side for $10.99. They did give generous portion because look at this big plate. FYI, For the side you can also do half noodles and half rice. In addition, to the combo, I had to try some appetizers as well. Out of the entrees I tried today, my favorite would be the General Tso's chicken and the Chef's specialty spicy beef. They definitely packed some flavors and were seasoned just right for my taste. The beef was especially tender from the Chinese velveting method. The appetizers were also a hit for me. The crab Rangoon was crispy and loaded with creamy filling and the veggie rolls were light and flaky. Overall, I enjoyed my meal a lot and this might be my go-to spot for comfort food. I highly recommend pulling up to their drive-thru next time you are in the area.

    I walked not knowing what to expect. This restaurant recently open. I remember when it was Jack in the Boix. Now it has Asian decor. I like what they have done with the place. The staff was busy. They took our orders. They were friendly. I still couldn't get over the changes they made as I used to work at that location many years ago. The food was delicious. They modeled this restaurant after Panda Express. You get to choose 2 proteins withe rice or noodles. I chose noodles.

    Sweet and sour chicken with noodles and crab ragoon.

    New Chinese restaurant at Ashby and Page. Used to be Jack in the Box. Quick Service restaurant doing it right. My take out combo meal, Sweet and Sour Chicken with Noodles added Crab Ragoon was delicious. See pic. Plenty of seating. Very clean. Extremely helpful staff.

    It's mainly breading on the orange chicken. Not much meat on any of the pieces.
    Faye C.

    I was anticipating this place to be much better than it was. I ordered in the drive through and the employee taking the order in the window was inattentive (I sat there for long time before they looked over) The price is okay but the flavor does not make up for the meal while there are other/better options in the area. The chicken is all breading and no meat and the pepper steak hardly comes with beef, it is frustrating to look past that considering they had just opened. The positive is i actually liked the flavor of the noodles.

    Very good Chinese food, I definitely will come back again! Best black pepper chicken!

    Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers

    New location . Speedy drive thru service . I ordered a kid meal with Fanta soda. Pricey value meal…read more. Staff friendly. Lot well lit!

    In the time since I first had the privilege of dining at a Raising Cane's, years ago, chicken…read morefingers have emerged as the official food of Gen Z/YN. Some of them, especially if they're neurodivergent, won't eat anything else. If their supply were to run out, they might die--like one of those unfortunate individuals who stays awake for weeks at a time playing some video game, only to be found permanently fused to a lime green office chair, his fingers curled around a can of Mountain Dew Baja Blast. There was a guy at the location I visited today picking up a DoorDash order, and I imagine he was taking it to someone like that. Otherwise, why wouldn't the guy just go get his own Raising Cane's? This place has such a well designed drive-thru. It's a much more elaborate setup than any of the other restaurants in this new strip mall. And on a corner lot, no less. They must have paid a premium. You can't get anything other than the aforementioned chicken fingers at Raising Cane's. It's an even less varied menu than Dave's Hot Chicken, which I recently visited, which has milkshakes. Those milkshakes might come in handy if you order chicken fingers at the burn-your-face-off spice level. Whereas, I don't think you can get anything on your chicken fingers at Raising Cane's other than Cane's Sauce. I guess you could put ketchup on them, if there's something wrong with you. But why would you do that? If I worked there, and I saw someone doing that, I'd take down their license plate number just in case. I ordered what I'm pretty sure is the most expensive thing on the menu, the Caniac Combo. It might be the most baller thing I've done in my entire life, for what it's worth. It comes with six chicken fingers, fries, slaw, Texas Toast and a 32 oz fountain drink, and it costs $16.99. That seems like entirely too much for what basically amounts to a $3 chicken finger basket at Dairy Queen that some recovering drug addict buys for his child during court-supervised visitation, but it's still $10 less than I paid for a burger, fries and a shake at the nearby Five Guys, and for a sandwich, chips, soda and a cookie at the also nearby Jersey Mike's. There were no desserts on offer at Raising Cane's. Otherwise, I would have gotten one, for the sake of citizen food journalism, even though the food there is disgustingly unhealthy. I already consumed so many calories. An ice cream might have pushed me over the edge. I wouldn't even be writing this. But it's quite possible that the food at Raising Cane's is low in sodium. The chicken fingers could definitely use a little salt. My little brother, who has no taste in anything, not just food, can't stand them for precisely that reason. He's not completely wrong, except that the chicken fingers are perfectly fine if you drown them in Cane's Sauce. They'd probably be fine even without the sauce, if you salted them yourself. I'd say they're still in the running for best fast-food/casual chicken fingers. They feel premium, like they're hand-breaded, made from chickens raised in relatively sanitary conditions. They may have even slept on pillows and been given individual names. The fries, weirdly enough, were perfectly salted, but otherwise they weren't anything to write home about. They taste like the fries at White Castle would taste if they were prepared correctly and not allowed to get soggy from steam in that cardboard box. (I still love them.) The coleslaw was like something you'd get at KFC, meaning it was delicious. I feel like maybe you should get a little bit more of it if you're getting the Big Baller Box. They do give you two cups of Cane's Sauce. It's the only meal where that's the case, and I definitely took that into consideration when I was ordering. You could just order another cup à la carte, but that seems weirdly extravagant, like having a live-in maid who's technically not allowed to leave your house. The Texas Toast was fine, but it's easily the least essential part of this meal--and the entire menu, for that matter, since I think this meal contains everything that's on the menu. It's soft, fresh and buttery. It almost looks like it could be garlic bread, i.e. the best thing you can eat, but it's not. They should seriously consider swapping it out for a biscuit. Just imagine, you could put the chicken fingers on the biscuits and make little sandwiches. I'd eat there daily, if that were the case. It's the rare overstep at a restaurant that otherwise seems so well thought out and well executed. This place is blowing up for a reason, and it's not just because tomorrow's thought leaders refuse to eat anything else.

    This location is my favorite chick fil ever!!!!…read more Service is always top quality!!!! Pretty fast in my opinion, always very friendly, and welcoming. The atmosphere is happy, and dining inside is clean and peaceful. Highly recommended.

    It's my pleasure…read more Honestly, I do not see what everyone else sees in this restaurant. The only reason they got me to come in was advertising their new Jalapeño Ranch Sandwich. I'm a jalapeño addict, so I wanted to give it a try. I'll break the sandwich down for you. I had my chicken filet done spicy, I thought it would compliment the jalapeños. Spice level was low-end. The cheese was my favorite, Pepper Jack, so that was a winner. The Candied Bacon was a total disappointment. It was tough and chewy. I removed it from my sandwich. The bun is billed as a unique buttermilk ranch bun. It was nothing special. The pickled slices of jalapeño were good, but the sandwich could have used more. Jalapeño Ranch Sauce was served on the side. I used it to dip my Waffle Fries. Again, spice wise it was mild. The Waffle Fries were soft, they did not have a crispy outside. Positive point, they had minimal salt. I always heard their Lemonade was to die for. In my opinion, the packets of Crystal Lite that I put in my water bottle, have better flavor and taste. I thought it was interesting how they control supplies by putting them in a bag saying, "Little Bag, lots of extras". I'm sure that helps the bottom line. Dining room was super clean. As soon as someone got up, the associate working the dining area was sanitizing it as if we were still in COVID. Cleanliness is a good thing. Staff was polite and I heard their catchphrase, "It's my pleasure." numerous times. Will I return? I doubt it. Service was good, but the food did not impress me. The service saved them from getting a 2 Star rating.
