Panda Inn - Chinese Near Me - Pasadena, California

This place 10000% hits the spot. I'm so happy I finally got to give this place a try. I've been here three times since and everytime I'm left feeling completely satisfied with my order. The space is beautiful. There are also things on the menu that you can only get at this specific location. Some of my favorites included the chargrilled beef short ribs, braised pork belly, and the lo-mein. You also can't go wrong with the walnut shrimp and the panda beef here. You'll wrap up your evening with their complementary white chocolate dipped fortune cookies which is such a great way to wrap up the evening. Would highly recommend this place to anyone! read more

Growing up eating Panda Express, I finally decided to try Panda Inn! Food: 5/5 The honey walnut was crispy, juicy, and flavorful. The pieces of melon mixed into the dish gave it a pop of freshness! The organ w chicken actually had a hint of orange. Unlike Panda Express, the flavor of the chicken tasted natural instead of artificial flavoring. Keep in mind that the dish does have more chili flakes than Panda Express. The popcorn chicken was our appetizer and it was a great was to start our meal. Despite the dish not including any dipping sauce, the chicken itself was flavored with 5 spice and had a nice crunch. The portions were very generous! The peach yuzu highball was very refreshing. However, I was missing the peach flavor as it was stronger on the yuzu. Service: 2/5 The service is what lost a few points for me. Our server rarely came by. However, when she did she didn't seem like she was in a good mood. When we needed to ask for something, we felt hesitate due to her body language and mood. When we paid for our check, we handed her the final receipt with a tip and said thank you. She took the check and walked away without a word. Ambiance: 5/5 The interior and exterior was very clean and well kept! The decor felt grand as if I was in a high end restaurant but without the crazy prices! Overall: The food was delicious and I'd definitely return. The interior and food presentation were beautiful! However, the service was disappointing and if I were to return I'd hope to not get the same server. read more

Overall, everything was really good! I went with a large group, so we decided to do family-style dining. We sat on the outdoor patio, but the inside of the restaurant was clean and pretty. Service was good. They were attentive and packed all our dishes to go for us. All the dishes tasted delicious, but the egg drop soup and lettuce wraps were my favorites. I could honestly finish the entire egg drop soup by myself :) that's how much I loved it! The mapo tofu wasn't too spicy and paired perfectly with steamed white rice. The orange chicken and fried rice are always safe options. I didn't try the sushi, but it wasn't a big hit at our table. The only dish that fell short for me was the upside-down chicken crispy noodle...the sauce was pretty bland. This is a great place to come to, and it feels fancier than your average dine-in restaurant. read more

Lunch date with my mom and she wanted to go to Panda Inn in Pasadena. It's my first time back at the newly renovated Pasadena location. We used to go here all the time before the renovations. Huge difference in ambience, but same good customer service and food quality. They used to have Brunch on Sundays with Mai tais and Mimosas - wish they'd bring that back!! We ordered several things Cucumber salad, chicken lettuce wraps (order more lettuce wraps), the cashew chicken was good, but still prefer their Kung pao chicken. Mongolian beef, upside noodles with chicken, and brown rice. ALL DELICIOUS and portions were great - we had plenty for dinner too. For dessert, we ordered the warm rice pudding with coconut milk and vanilla ice cream. Sooooo good. Great for family lunching - 10 out of 10 for me! Enjoy. read more

Have been wanting to try this place for so long and I am so glad I finally did for my brother-in-law's birthday! Food: 11/10! Everything we ordered was incredible. From what I remember, we ordered the egg drop soup, green beans, orange chicken, honey walnut shrimp, shrimp fried rice, and mapo tofu. The stand out for me was the honey walnut shrimp and the orange chicken. The flavors were insane! I loved the textures to it as well. Service: 10/10! From the nice ladies in the front to help us to our table, to the actual waitress taking our order and making sure we always had water in our glasses... the service was outstanding! Ambiance: 10/10. Inside was so clean, beautiful, and spacious! Even the outside seating looked beautiful. Overall, this was my first time here but definitely not my last time! Can't wait to come back! read more

My third visit, mainly to try their mapo tofu. OMG it's the best-tasting version I've had in a long time. Most restaurants either make it Cantonese-style (silken tofu, no Sichuan peppercorn), or Sichuan-style (soft tofu, too much peppercorn). The Panda Inn version is an ideal balance of the two -- soft tofu, mildly tingling peppercorn in a highly aromatic dark brown sauce. Eating it with white rice is mandatory. It reminds me of Iron Chef Chen Kenichi's signature mapo tofu in Tokyo. My compliments to the 'Iron Chef' of Pasadena Panda Inn! read more

Food: 5 Service:5 Ambiance:5 Wow. This place sure beats Panda Express. The orange chicken is better. The panda beef is mind blowing, cocktails are great. Waiters and hostesses were all friendly and gave the best service. We had a 4 person business meeting and ate like hogs with 5 dishes, desserts and cocktails. With 20% tip the bill was $200. We are coming back. Flavors are bright and not heavy but great protein dishes that are not hidden in some sauce. Try it out. Bon appetit read more

Every time we dine in here we always enjoy the food. The service is usually pretty spot on as well. I do recommend making a reservation because they always are busy! We have sat on the patio the last few times and enjoy the scenery. read more

Panda Inn truly did not disappoint! My wife is from Altadena and she would always tell me about Panda Inn and how it's the origin for Panda Express. Last week we were able to bring our family for dinner! My wife order the cooked sushi, sorry I forgot the name of it BUT IT WAS GREAT!! We had Shrimp Lo Mein, Orange Chicken, Shrimp Fried Rice, Beef Fried Rice and it was delicious!! I have a mushroom allergy and they were so nice to ensure they didn't have it in the food. Definitely a 5 star express, thank you all so much for the experience! The building is beautiful and ambiance was great! read more

So I finally made it to the famed Panda Inn. I've been wanting to check it out for a while, especially since it's the birthplace of Panda Express. Luckily, I now work nearby, so I was finally able to give it a try. The place has been recently updated, and the dining room is spacious with a modern feel. I sat at the bar for a few drinks and a meal. Unfortunately, there's no happy hour, which was a bit of a letdown. Both the drinks and food are a little pricey for what you get. I ordered the famous orange chicken because you have to on your first visit. It was definitely better than Panda Express, but you're also paying about three times as much. Overall, I came for the history and to say I've been. That said, there are plenty of better Chinese food options in the area at a lower price point. Still, if it's on your list, it's worth checking out at least once. So if you gotta go you gotta go. read more

We had a great experience at Panda Inn in Pasadena, and a big shoutout to Jaycob W and David for their outstanding service. They were both incredibly attentive and took the time to help us choose the right amount of food for our group of four, which we really appreciated. The service was fast and completely effortless from start to finish. This isn't our first time dining here, and it definitely won't be our last. We keep coming back for the consistently great food, top-notch service, and overall experience. Highly recommend! read more

Panda Inn in Pasadena is slightly further out than the main parts of the city. There's plenty of validated parking and street parking for the large prettily decorated restaurant that also has a patio. The staff is friendly and moves quickly. We over ordered but were happy to have leftovers. The orange chicken was great. We opted to get kung pow shrimp as opposed to chicken. The chow fun (with chicken) was an item the table next to us asked about. The Mushu Pork didn't quite live up to my childhood memories but was tasty. I'd go back again but perhaps for lunch so there could be less traffic. read more

BEAUTIFUL SPACE TO DINE ====================== My first time at the renovated location and it's beautiful. The food is a bit different. It is much more spicier than I remember. We used to go to the old restaurant quite often and it has totally changed. My husband and I took advantage of the lunch menu that is available from Monday to Friday from 11-3 PM. See my photos with prices. I chose the Spicy Tofu Eggplant. That comes with a choice of Egg Drop Soup or Hot and Sour Soup, an eggroll and white or steamed rice. My husband chose the Orange Chicken. We both chose the spicy Hot and Sour Soup. We shared our entrees. First of all I hate to say it, but I like the eggplant and tofu and orange chicken a bit better at Panda Express. Call me crazy, but I am honest. The service started out great, but by the time we paid our bill it dropped off. No more warm and fuzzy if you get my gist by the time we left an hour later. I was happy with the Mai Tai and I indulged because it was my early Valentine's Day lunch. I'd definitely order that again. You can get your parking validated for three hours I believe. read more

What I had: - Eel and mascarpone roll ($19) - Filet mignon chow fun ($28) - Orange chicken ($24) - Pork mapo tofu ($23) - Honey walnut shrimp ($30) How it tasted: - The chow fun, orange chicken, pork mapo tofu, and honey walnut shrimp didst stand above the rest, and were wondrously delectable. Why I gave it a five? - My kin hath frequented this establishment long ere its embellishment, I reckon these five and twenty years or more, yet never before did I deem to set forth a review. The bounty of fare, the service, the pricing, and the ambience be most excellent and remain so still. Verdict? - Verily, it be the most exalted form of Panda Express, yet in truth, a journey well worth undertaking. read more

Honestly great food. I like a lot of Chinese restaurants from mama Lu to mayflower to Tao and everything in-between . I think the service here was great for the most part. Jacob was amazing and kind. Always had a smile on his face and was warm and welcoming. I wish I got the name of this other lady as she seemed unhappy and upset as if she was rushing to get people out fast. She was the lady that asked if we wanted our leftovers boxed and the one that took our empty plates . I should have asked for her name but I missed it. But aside from her all the others were kind and nice. The food was great and the ambiance was nice. Very interesting and aesthetically pleasing interior . Definitely coming back. Only other negative thing is that they don't take Apple Pay ? Kinda old school. Makes me wonder if I should bring a check book. Jokes. But I still can't believe they don't take Apple Pay. Sometimes I don't even bring my wallet and only use my phone. Luckily this day I had my chase sapphire card on me Ps the fortune cookies here are nice. read more

I dine here every so often, since I live nearby. Most recently I tried their DineLA lunch menu. This was a day after I did DineLA at Yakiya across the street, which is also owned by the Cherng family. I booked a reservation at opening time, just as I did at Yakiya. And like Yakiya, Panda seemed short-staffed early on. My waiter was attentive, and there were several chefs at the sushi counter, but the food took quite some time to come out, which would have been an issue if I was a worker on a lunch break. That being said, the food was good to great. The DineLA menu comes with 2 apps--tuna with crispy onions and spicy pickled cabbage. Both were tasty; the albacore tuna was a bit haphazardly sliced. My lychee and Jasmine green iced tea was great. Next there was a choice of 6 entrees. I chose my go-to, Honey Walnut Shrimp. This version was fab, clearly freshly made. The shrimp were still hot and crisp, the sauce not yet making the shrimp breading gloppy, as happens at Panda Express. There were loads of candied walnuts, plus some slices of honeydew melon as garnish! I would say in general that any dish that's offered both at Panda Inn and Panda Express will taste better at Panda Inn because it is made to order, and sometimes comes with additional garnish. It will be more costly at Panda, however. Dessert was a choice between cheesecake or rice pudding. I chose the Japanese-style cheesecake, which was more cake-y and less cheese-y than a traditional cheesecake, but fine. There was ice cream on top. A fine lunch. read more

The food and experience just wasn't there. Our waiter was kind and helpful, but it took quite a long time to get our food. Something was off in the kitchen the night of 1/25/2026. The wonton soup was bland and cold. The shrimp dish we ordered was excellent Dumplings great Fried rice was ok Noodles ok Japanese cheesecake was ok Also we learned that the different locations have different menus. So items we were looking forward to that are in La Palma, are not offered at the Pasadena location. If you find a panda inn location you Rick with, keep going to that one. The Pasadena location is beautiful and has the perfect ambiance. But I will take the windowless box that is La Palma because that food is magnificent! Parking was easy. There's a structure located next door. read more

One of my favourite fast food places in the USA is Panda Express, so when I found out that the original Panda location and the place it all started at was located only a half an hour away in Pasadena, it was a must try immediately. My wife and I came here last Sunday for lunch and it was a much different experience then I expected. For parking, it's a big parking garage located behind the building and the restaurant validates parking. I knew this was a big upgrade to Panda Express, but I did not expect a beautiful restaurant like this. This place is absolutely massive on the inside and offers a ton of seating. I was absolutely blown away by how cool the art and glass inside were, super cool Panda stuff. The menu here has versions of all the Panda Express favourites you are used too, but also a ton of different Chinese food options as well. I absolutely had to order the orange chicken to see what the O.G. tastes like, but I also had to order the Taiwanese chicken since that's the best form of the chicken around. I didn't expect to say this, but I want to start with the orange chicken and say that I honestly prefer the fast food version to the $24 version here. The sauce was good and so was the chicken, but I honestly think the cheaper/fast food version does in fact taste better. The Taiwanese chicken gets a thumbs up from me as well, but I will say it's not the best I've had, even in the Los Angeles area. Overall, my lunch at Panda Inn was pretty solid and an overall good experience. I'm going to give this place four stars because the food was good and the restaurant itself was very nice, even if the fast food option would probably be my first choice in the future. read more

Being at the original location really does make a difference. If you already like Panda Express, this is that but way more dialed in. The orange chicken somehow slaps even harder here. The beef and broccoli surprised me too. The broccoli was actually cooked so well and the beef was super tender. The sweet and sour pork was another standout with juicy pieces, pineapple, peppers, and onions all working together. We also tried the Taiwanese chicken, which came out crispy with a lemon pepper kind of zest, and the cream cheese rangoons were stuffed way more than you'd expect. Everything just felt a level up. Service was fast and accurate the whole time. He kept the Sapporos coming and stayed on top of the table without missing a beat. The atmosphere feels much classier than what people might expect. Great Pasadena location, parking right on the side, and a setting that feels more like a real sit down experience than a quick chain stop. read more

I'm not usually a fan of Chinese food, but a friend insisted we try Panda Inn after its recent renovation. I reluctantly agreed--and I'm so glad I did. I enjoyed it so much that I went back again with my family. First, the restaurant itself is beautiful--modern, inviting, and thoughtfully redesigned. More importantly, the food was outstanding. I typically shy away from the sweet, heavy sauces common in Chinese cuisine, but every dish we tried was balanced, flavorful, and genuinely delicious. Across two visits, we ordered the Panda Beef, Orange Chicken, Mongolian Beef, shrimp and lobster dumplings, chow fun, shrimp lo mein, honey walnut shrimp, and the mango and duck salad. My favorite dish by far was the dumplings--so flavorful and perfectly prepared that I honestly liked them better than Din Tai Fung. I truly have nothing negative to say about a single dish. The cocktails were also excellent and thoughtfully crafted. Service was attentive and friendly throughout. Be sure to make a reservation, as the restaurant gets busy and the wait without one can be frustrating. Parking is available with three-hour validation, which is a plus. I will definitely be returning. read more

The place has been re decorated and is beautiful! We had two parties here. There are separate rooms that are perfect for an event up to 36 people. We had one as a surprise. The rooms were perfect and kept the surprise going. The food was amazing! Everyone and everything was delicious and so flavorful! Some of our guests also went back to celebrate smaller parties. There really isn't anything you can order here which isn't spot on delicious. The service is awesome. They are attentive, friendly and helpful. I will definitely be back for dinner and probably another celebration! read more

It may be tough to get a reservation on a weekend, but it's well worth a try at least once. Parking is easy in the parking garage. The interior is quite nice, although it was a bit toasty. The service here is good, and they were gracious enough to comp us 3 desserts during our visit. If you're wondering, they do offer high chairs. Here's what I tried: Salt & Pepper Crispy Calamari - Well seasoned and crispy. I'd say above average Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken - On par with what you can get from any kind of boba shop. Nothing more, nothing less, which could be an issue for some people. Beef Short Rib with Brussel Sprouts - Very tender and tasty. It comes with a variety of sauces and is really great to share. Orange Chicken - I was a little surprised with this one. At the minimum you'd expect it to be just like from a Panda Express. But it wasn't, it was worse. Excessive breading. Honey Walnut Shrimp - Standard from what you'd get from your average Chinese spot. Quite delicious! Chocolate Lava Cake - A really well-rounded dessert. Creamy and not too sweet. read more

This was our first visit since Panda Inn's remodel, so it's definitely been a while! It was a busy Sunday night, but we only waited about 20 minutes for a table for two. Panda Inn has a modern, upscale vibe that caters more to American diner. Forks are the default setting, and you have to request chopsticks, which is the opposite from traditional Chinese restaurants. Our server was friendly and accommodating; when we mentioned that our table was uneven, he quickly moved us to a more spacious one, which we really appreciated. We share the Lobster Crispy Noodles, Steamed Chilean Sea Bass and Seaweed with Oyster Mushroom as an appetizer. We also ordered a pot of jasmine hot tea to warm up since it was a chilly evening. The appetizer came out quickly, though the entrées took a bit longer--but the sea bass was absolutely worth the wait. It was perfectly steamed, tender, and easily the best one we've ever had. The lobster crispy noodles were decent, though the lobster meat wasn't as bouncy or fresh as we're used to at traditional Chinese spots, seems likely from frozen. Overall, it was a lovely dinner date. I still like their signature chocolate-covered fortune cookies at the end of the meal. Though if my memory serves me right, they used to be fully coated in chocolate when I was a kid, not just dipped at the tip. read more

Panda Inn - Chinese Near Me - Pasadena, California

I was so excited to try this place, after all it's hype on social media as well as a podcast I listened to on the history of Panda Express. I had been to the Glendale location as a small child, so I had fond memories of their white chocolate-coated fortune cookies. The servers were patient with my large party. We started by ordering our drinks. The Sour w Absinthe was a small serving but refreshing. As for the Mai Tai, it was well endowed with alcohol and syrupy in the best way a rum drink can be. My parents are regulars, so they took the reins on placing our order. We ordered the Honey Walnut Shrimp, Mongolian Beef, Sweet & Pungent Chicken, and Lo Mein. The Honey Walnut Shrimp was everything you love about the original, with an extra oomph through the chunks of melon. The Mongolian Beef was melt-in-your-mouth soft in its savory, brown gravy. The Sweet & Pungent Chicken was a much better option to trade for an orange chicken. It was lighter and more sour rather than oppressively sticky and sweet. As for the Lo Mein: dare i say it was better than Din Tai Fung? The chicken pieces were incredibly tender and the sauce soaked up by the thick noodles was flavorful. With such a well-designed ambiance to go along with all this, I would recommend coming here to everyone I know. read more

The food was absolutely delicious! The service was even better. We had Lincoln as our server and he was wonderful, so friendly, attentive, and welcoming. He made sure we had everything we needed and checked in at just the right times. He was even accommodating when I didn't like the drink I ordered and kindly helped me switch it out. Everything was very flavorful. My favorite dishes were the Filet Mignon Chow fun noodles and Orange Chicken (Mild). You can really tell they put effort into both the quality of the ingredients and the presentation. The whole experience was wonderful, and I would definitely come back again. Highly recommend! read more

Panda Inn - Mai Tai cocktail. - Chinese Near Me - Pasadena, California

The Pasadena Panda Inn recently went through a major glow up and my family and I went to visit for lunch. The food served here is not all authentic Chinese, but is mainly inspired by Taiwanese, Japanese and Chinese cuisine. They even serve sushi here. They did a great job of renovating the new space, it's absolutely beautiful and I love the bar area and how spacious the whole restaurant feels. There is a big multi story parking lot in the back so parking isn't an issue. I heard they plan on building an apartment building in the back, so we shall see how that affects the parking in the future. Service was friendly and my family thought the food was good. We ordered: Chicken Mu Shu wraps Taiwanese Popcorn chicken Wonton Crisps Spicy Nachos Hot & Sour Soup Panda Beef Honey Walnut Shrimp Sweet & Pungent Chicken Braised String Beans Taiwanese Braised Pork Rice Because my kids are allergic to nuts, they were nice enough to put the walnuts of the Honey Walnut shrimp on the side. The mu shu wraps were so good, and the hot & sour soup just brought back so many nostalgic vibes. The family thought the pork rice was only ok. My only complaint is the Sweet & Pungent Chicken dish. It looks great when it arrives to the table like you're getting a lot of chicken, but is disappointing once you eat it. It was made of thinly sliced chicken (think hot pot thin slices) covered in batter and fried, then tossed in a sweet & sour sauce. I could barely taste any chicken, so I basically ordered a big pile of fried batter. I didn't enjoy this dish at all. I love tea but wasn't willing to pay $8 a cup. Fun desserts like chocolate lava cake and rice pudding are available to end your dining experience. read more

Our first visit to Panda Inn made us want to be regulars on the spot! We started with the Crab Rangoon, which had REAL crab with a garlicky punch that hit just right. The Shrimp, Chicken & Pork Spring Rolls were loaded with perfectly cooked, tender shrimp, and that dipping sauce?! We had to ask for another one! The Egg Drop Soup had this beautiful, rich chicken broth that felt like a warm hug, and the Hot & Sour Soup was velvety and had just the right amount of acidic heat. We sipped on the Yuzu Lemon Drop (so refreshing!) and the Ginger Mule, which had a great tang and a satisfying kick. For entrees, the Orange Chicken completely blew our minds. We love the Panda Express version (no shame!), but this was on a whole other level. Crispy, juicy and tender, boasting an elevated depth of flavor with citrus zest and savory richness. The Honey Walnut Shrimp was cooked to absolute perfection and it was such a large serving for the price. We skipped the white rice and went with the plain Lo Mein instead, which was the perfect complement to everything on the table. And dessert! Their cheesecake was a fluffy, light twist on the classic that was the ideal sweet ending to the meal. Now let's talk about the vibe. The interior is open and modern, but it never gets uncomfortably loud. Aside from the main dining room, there are nice private dining rooms along the perimeter. Our server was fantastic, and extremely attentive, warm, and genuinely helpful when it came to navigating the menu. We are already planning our next visit. If you haven't been to Panda Inn yet, close this app and go make a reservation. read more
