Panda Korea is awesome! We visited while out of town picking up family at the airport and decided to try this place out! We walked in and it was very quiet and only one other patron. The place is definitely older but everything was clean and comfortable. We were sat right away and asked for our drink orders. Drinks came back to us within a minute or two and then our waiter (probably the owner as well) took our app orders. We ordered the Kimbap and and a Kimchi pancake. A few minutes passed and the sweet older lady brought out our Kimbap and WOW was it amazing! Warm, fresh, and oh so delicious. The best I have ever had! Then we got the kimchi pancake and again wow! Hot, crispy and so, so tasty! And lastly we ordered the Bulgogi Jeon Gol Hot Pot! It arrived to the table bubbling and steaming and smelling so yummy! We started to dig in and there was sooo much meat and veggies and the glass noodles were just perfect! We ate until we could not eat anymore. I wish we lived closer because we'd go back over and over again especially with the cheap prices but we will definitely try to return when back in Longview! GO EAT HERE! read more

Authentic Korean food in Longview - my fiancé who lived in South Korea for 6 months agrees! The owners are very attentive and our food was served quickly. Kimchi pancake was a great appetizer. The beef comes out sizzling fajita style and has great flavor. Interior of the restaurant is dated, and the vibe is casual. read more

This place is a real gem! The portions and prices are amazing, i really don't know why it's not as popular as it used to be. My fiancée and I drive 45 minutes anytime we crave Korean food.

Panda Korea - Beef Bibimbab, Kimchi Jeyuk Tofu, Kimbab (1 Roll) - Chinese Near Me - Longview, Texas

As a bodybuilder, I plan my "free meals" at the beginning of every week. Panda Korea has been on my list for awhile, so I wanted to give it a try. I was thoroughly impressed. We walked in and the inside was a little underwhelming. But any true foodie knows that usually the more "hole in the wall" a place looks, usually the more promising the food can be. We were greeted pleasantly by the waiter, and the service was consistent the whole time. I ordered the teriyaki chicken bibimbap, and it did not disappoint. They gave us some watermelon at the end. I'm not sure if that's a Korean tradition, but it was very refreshing. Great service, great food, and at a great price. Definitely recommend if you're in the area. read more

Panda Korea - So much food... ordered the spicy bulgogi beef, steamed dumplings and egg rolls. They brought us all these different sides. - Chinese Near Me - Longview, Texas

No one told me that 할머니 (grandma) was back there! Y'all in Longview got blessed with a legit Korean restaurant. This reminds me of Song's kitchen ins Elizabethtown, Kentucky. No one would have expected it but were pleasantly surprised Abuela is back there making it happen! I ordered the Bulgogi and the Gimbap (to go). The beef was perfect. Well marinated and a great portion to share (for two). The banchan (side dishes) were on point and I even got some Ssam (lettuce) and Ssam Jang (the traditionally accompanying soybean paste for the lettuce wrap). Needless to say, this is my go to spot in Longview. Disclaimer: Service isn't the best, but most mom and pop Asian Shops are like that but it's above average. The food is the highlight. read more

There's no reason why Panda Korea should not be packed at lunch time. Dad and I tried this restaurant after having read up on it from the reviews, and we were not disappointed. The atmosphere was very typical Asian restaurant, which was very cozy. We both ordered the Hot Stone Bibimbap (Dad got Spicy Pork, I got Spicy Beef), plus an order of Shrimp Tempura and an order of egg rolls. Plus, our entrees came with all the typical fixings of a Korean BBQ restaurant (kimchi, soup, cucumbers, bean sprouts, etc.}. The rice on the bottom of the bibimbap had crispened up, which is exactly what you want from a good bibimbap. All the vegetables were fresh. They had this sauce that came with our order that had a sweet heat to it. I think it might've had gochujang in it. I flippantly added some to my entree, mixed it up, and basked in the immediate burst of flavor that it brought to an already delicious dish. If I had one criticism of the entire meal, it would be to cook the shrimp a tad longer, so it crispens up even more, but that's mainly a personal preference issue. Since moving here, I have not had an excuse to give a 5-star rating to a Longview based restaurant off the first impression. This just might be it. read more

I was stationed in South Korea many years ago and loved to go out far from base and enjoy the local favorites. Instantly I was taken back to those days. Food was excellent and price was spot on. Service was very nice. We went after the lunch rush but plan to go back and try some other items from the dinner menu. You could order from both but wasn't dinner time hungry. read more

Let me start by saying I was stationed in South Korea over 15 years ago and absolutely loved the food and culture. Ever since, I've tried Korean restaurants as often as possible. THIS is the best Korean BBQ I've had stateside. Their yaki mahndoo (Korean fried dumplings) were incredible and the dipping sauce for it was the best I've had including korea. ($3 per order) The Bulgogi (thin sliced marinated beef) was cooked tableside with onions, garlic paste, large lettuce leafs to wrap it in and rice. It also came with bap chan (various lil pickled or seasoned snacks to try between bites that come with your meal) of cabbage kimchi, cucumber kimchi, potato, and apple pieces in yogurt. All of it was fantastic, there was plenty of everything, and it cost $19 per person, which is really reasonable. We'll be back very soon. read more

Staying overnight for a business trip. Longview is sleeping on this place. It was delicious. I had the stir fried squid, and it was too much food for one, but so satisfying. The banchan was a plenty. I like eating at locally owned restaurants as much as I can. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in town. Give them some support!!! read more

Time for a update!!!! Just got back to Longview 2 weeks ago having been gone for 6 years. I was super surprised this place is now a Korean place. We love Korean food having grown up with it while living in Southern California. This place is just as good as the places you would find in LA's Korea town. Lemme say i was shocked to find a Korean resturant inn East Texas but more shocked how good the food was!!!! Even my picky daughter loved her food!!!! read more

I've gotten take out and dined in for Korean bbq. The food is good and authentic. Was a relaxed quiet atmosphere when we went, and the service was good and speedy. Just feel like the building needs an update for a refreshed look and atmosphere. read more

We ordered the baked Mackerel and pork belly dinners. Although we came at almost closing time the lady (wife?) was very hospitable. She did not appear to speak much English but was very attentive to our needs. The food was very good and we enjoyed all the little sides that came with the meal ie Kimchi, potatoes, pickles etc. The chef (husband?) came out to see if we were enjoying our meal which was very nice. All in all a good meal and a good experience. The restaurant was clean, well appointed and comfortable. read more

Best Korean food we have found after having it in Korea. Very good l. The kimchi pancake and bibimbap were yummy!

Wonderful bulgogi! Everything was delicious and we can't wait to go back to try other menu items. The bulgogi comes sizzling on a platter, served after the table has been set with small bowls of kimchi, soup, rice, and several different pickled vegetables and lettuce leaves. Service was good and the food excellent. read more

Was not impressed with the Korean soup at all. Unfortunately, it was quite bland, with little meat and a bunch of cabbage. Not appetizing at all. The kimchi wasn't tasty like I know good kimchi can be. I usually devour every bit of my kimchi but not today. I barely ate half of the small side item dish. But there's hope! The seafood pancake was not only big & thick, I thought is was very delicious!!! Especially the sauce that comes with it. It will certainly be my go to item from now on. The Asian woman who served me seemed nice enough. Koreans don't pet their patrons or constantly come to check on you while you're eating so I had to call her once or twice. Unfortunately, she seem a little nervous but considering the recent Asian brutality and being a black woman in America...I get it. Food is decent but not the best I've ever had. I'll be back. read more

I love this place and always come here whenever we're in Longview. The seating areas are very clean and decor is typical of Chinese restaurants. The service is fast, polite and very good.

Prices are very reasonable. read more

Food reviews are all about the food and not the interior of the place, I believe. It could use an update on the interior design to give it an alluring and visually appealing quality, but it lured me in with the pictures of food and good reviews on Yelp, so they know what they're doing. Our server was very welcoming and sweet, she immediately invited us in. I was so excited when I saw the menu!!! Omg!!! I needed this in my life! The food was excellent! Probably the best Korean food I've had!! I want to eat here for every meal of my life!! You can tell this is a traditional restaurant by the home cooked taste of the dishes. I was in heaven and I wish we had a place like this in Washington state. It's affordable and feels homey to me and that's what a restaurant should be. Thank you for your amazing service. You made my visit here unforgettable. read more

Panda Korea - All Yummmy!!! - Chinese Near Me - Longview, Texas

I was thoroughly surprised with Panda Korea! I grew up in K-Town in Dallas and I missed having good Korean food that I didn't have to cook. We tried the bibimbap, the soondubu jjigae, and the kimbap. All those choices were solid! I don't think this place could survive in Dallas, but for East Texas? Heck yeah! It definitely satiated my cravings. The soondubu jjigae was a little on the saltier side, so make sure you eat it with rice. The bibimbap flavor wasn't 100% there, but it was good enough for me to be satisfied. Don't come expecting the best Korean food of your life, but if you need a fix and can't get to Carrollton - this will do it! read more

We live out of town, so we hadn't had an opportunity to try Panda Korea yet, but I'm certainly glad we did! The fried dumplings are yummy, and I would buy the dipping sauce by the bucket if I could. Although the octopus was very chewy, the spicy octopus and vegetables dish had a delicious flavor, and the teriyaki chicken bibimbap was a crowd pleaser. I shamelessly scraped the sticky bits off the stone pot at the end of dinner. We will definitely be back. read more

From the outside this restaurant comes across as dated but assure you that you cannot judge this place just by looking at it.
