If you are ever in the Alpine area STOP BY PANDA MACHI! craving definitely satisfied.I was leaving Viejas casino and decided to stop by this place because I was craving sake. Right when I walked in I was greeted and seated right away. Customer service was on point, they were very attentive. My rolls I order were fresh and sake smooth. I didn't get too take too many pics due to me inhaling my food. I don't go by this side of town often but when I do I make sure I stop by. read more

Panda Machi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Alpine, California

Staying the night in the Alpine area and we found this place based on their review rankings on here. Despite being very busy, service was great, food was plentiful and superb. Great price point and great food for kids as well. Cant beat the Chinese AND sushi options. Would highly recommend! read more

Great service! Delicious and affordable. Plenty of parking a small shopping plaza. Would definitely be back :)

I love the fusion type menu with Chinese or Japanese dishes. We opted for the honey walnut shrimp, crunchy roll and garlic edamame. Each item was the best we had ever had. The shrimp were huge! Service was quick even though they were very busy. Oddly the edamame was probably my favorite even though it was such a simple thing. Highly recommend. read more

Food was great and service was good. Very willing to take your order. Oddly less willing to bring you the check Recommend the salt and pepper chicken. So good!!!! Please be aware price increases are everywhere. But the food quality and portions are the same! read more

Excellent Selection Excellent Taste Excellent Service Prices have increased, but what hasn't in recent years? Great Quality Asian Food Definitely Worthwhile and Very Satisfying! read more

Great service, quick and reliable. We love their Special salt and pepper chicken wings, they're delicious and crispy. Also, they have great bobas! And we'll continue to try all the varieties of dishes they offer. read more

ALWAYS a great experience! The only thing that would make it better is a bigger restaurant LOL!! Food is always good and fresh. Big portions. And the staff are so great that if you come often enough they become your friends. read more

Love panda machi. Their orange chicken, pepper chicken, and fried rice are our go to. It's always consistent.

I'm probably the happiest person right now. I'd post photos of the food but the second it was set in front of us it was devoured. Soooo good. Packed though because if this so be patient. The sushi chef is a charmer, suggested the best rolls and he was of course correct. Japanese beer to choose from and some delicious fruit teas that are made to order. Boba and fruit jelly to choose from. We ordered too much. Ate most of it and hope some of it will save in the fridge for lunch. Highly recommend this place. Actually. Scratch that. Don't come here so we can have it all to ourselves read more

Cashew chicken is amazing chow mein noodles are so good and the sushi chefs give such nice hospitality very welcoming

Less than happy; the waiter & server were both very pleasant, but I ordered PORK egg foo young (specifically asked if it could be made with NO shrimp, was told yes!!!), only to get home, 15 miles away, & discover it has SHRIMP in it. When I called I was told 1) it was a miscommunication on my part, 2) if I come back, they'll remake it for me. I resent the implication that it was MY fault, & I'm no longer confident in their ability to get it right...Lesson learned! read more

Good food, great staff and fast service. Sushi is my favorite but the other menu offerings are also delicious. I LOVE the egg drop soup and gyoza (which they offer steamed or fried). Today, I had the shrimp and veggies which is always tasty and a generous portion. read more

Panda Machi - Shrimp and veggies, egg drop soup, fried gyoza and steamed rice - yummy! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Alpine, California

Every dish and I mean every dish is amazing. I'm not big on sushi so I can't make a review on that but the salt and pepper chicken wings, the lo meins and chow meins are very yummy. Service is always great and they're very quick to getting the food to us quickly and fresh read more

The specialties are good.The soup is usually good.The sushi is just ok but not particularly good.Most of the other menu items are poor quality.The last time we were here we ordered curry chicken.My husband said it was a plate of slop.Sadly he was right.The quality of the chicken is horrendous.The curry sauce was poor.Nobody cared who was making this dish.I think this place could be a lot better.I don't think we will be coming back. read more

Competent and the fish was good. The crew was friendly and helpful. Best ever? Just never you mind. Enjoy your meal and be happy it is here.

Food tasted very good. I love panda machi. The dynamic mix of flavors from the sweet and spicy creaminess of the spicy mayo to the salty notes of the soy sauce combining in one delicious bite. Might be the best sushi/Chinese food in SD. read more

Well on the drive home out of San Diego heading toward Phoenix I had a little town called Alpine and stopped in this Chinese Japanese restaurant. It's nice looking place and service is really good no complaints. The soup was really good I had wonton soup was really awesome and I had four spring rolls with sweet and sour sauce which were awesome. The Jasmine hot tea was wonderful. The only thing that really went wrong was the main course I got a chicken and rice bowl with teriyaki sauce with the teriyaki sauce was kind of like a dark Smokey Teriyaki one that I've never tried before and it just left a bad taste and it's kind of didn't do it for me personally. Now, someone else might like this particular brand of teriyaki sauce I just didn't work for me. Other than that everything else was good it's a nice little place that I'm probably stop at again and try something else read more

Panda Machi - Teriyaki and Rice Bowl - Sushi Bars Near Me - Alpine, California

Love their food and only down side is there aren't any desserts. The owner is so fun and nice. Service was awesome

This had to be the worst meal out I've ever had. I ordered teriyaki chicken and the chicken tasted off, like it was too old to eat and it wasn't even stir fried, it was boiled and had teriyaki sauce dumped on it. The chicken wasn't cut into bite size pieces and had fat on it, so it wasn't edible. The vegetables were mushy, not crisp like normal stir fried veggies are supposed to be. It tasted like it was left over from yesterday and microwaved and then it was lukewarm at best when it was served. My meal was rushed so I didn't get to finish my first course (soup and salad) before the main dish was set down in front of me. The salad wasn't cut up into bite size pieces and tasted like it hadn't been washed. I didn't eat it! The whole meal was disgusting! I'll never go back to eat there again. I know wonderful Chinese restaurants in San Diego that serve great food steaming hot, fresh cooked and delicious! Well worth the trip to get a great meal, but not at Panda Machi! read more

Fast delicious sushi and Chinese food. It's always busy and I never leave disappointed. Great value and service

Probably wouldn't go back. The fried gyoza with dipping sauce were delicious! But the sushi didn't taste very fresh - we had nigiri, 2 rolls and a California handroll. The handroll just had rice, cucumber and a stick of imitation krab - not krab salad, no avocado. The Alpine roll had SO much 'chefs sauce' it was inedible. read more

This place was good. I got an orange chicken bowl. It was about $10 and the portions were very generous. The orange chicken flavour itself was good, but I still like Panda Express's flavour more. This one was more crunchy and it has a peculiar sweet taste. I got it to go and waited like 15 mins. There were people seated and they seemed to be enjoying themselves. I probably would be back in the future if I am very hungry and I'm in the area. read more

My girlfriend and I love this place! Always the best food, best service, and best prices. I know it's weird, sushi in Alpine? We thought the same thing upon eating here the first time, but have never looked back since. Sushi is always fresh, tasty, and served quick. When it's NFL or NBA season, the games are always playing which is an added plus and makes the ambiance even better. We highly recommend this place to any Sushi lovers out there! Shoutout to our favorite sushi chef, Tu. He always makes our rolls, nigiri, and sashimi perfectly and is always personable and friendly when we come in! read more

I've been going to this place almost once a month. But this place is extremely dirty. I don't understand why they don't do a deep cleaning everywhere I look is dirt in the corners of the room. The floor is slippery. You can tell that they have not done a thorough cleaning in this place in years. The food is good, but I just don't understand why they don't keep the place cleaner. The bathrooms are dirty, and if the bathrooms are dirty, the kitchen's gotta be dirty too. I've tried to overlook how dirty it is, but I will not be returning anymore. read more

This is our second time trying this restaurant. The first time the sushi was terrible and we were not happy with the service. This trip our friends suggested we try take out Chinese Cuisine and the second time was much better. The sweet and sour pork was very tasty along with the gyoza. The customer service this time was better as well. Overall we suggest you give them a try and roll the dice. read more

So delicious! We have lived in Alpine since 2003 and Panda Machi is a restaurant we love and eat at monthly. Whether you dine in or take away, the food is fresh and tasty either way. Their staff is always dedicated to their customers. When you dine in, no matter how busy they are, the entire crew are dedicated to great service, fresh food and fair prices. The atmosphere inside is excellent and ambience is just right. Always, always a great meal, we often bring guests who are visiting and everyone loves it as much as we do! Our favorites are broccoli beef, orange chicken, fried gyoza and vegetable LoMein. Thanks Panda Machi for your years of dedicated service to our community of Alpine read more

Fantastic service and the sushi and vegetable fried rice was delicious! We will definitely be going back here!

We are from out of town and decided to stop in. We come to Alpine about once a week. This is the best Chinese food I've ever had. My husband had the lemon chicken and I had the orange chicken lunch specials. WOW!!! They came with egg drop soup which was bursting with flavor and a salad that was heavenly. It had a cream cheese wonton and a potsticker on the side, yum!!! Love the Murals on the walls, A very pleasant atmosphere. The staff was extremely attentive, friendly and efficient. They even made up our drinks so we could take them with us when we left. This is my new favorite Chinese restaurant and we will be returning. I wish they were in our town, I will be suggesting a second location! Lol . Thank you to the chef and the staff for making it a great dining experience! read more

Great food and portions! The food is a bit pricey but definitely all shareable or enough to always have leftovers. The employees are all very friendly and they are always welcoming. Sometimes food for to go takes a little longer than elsewhere so make sure to leave yourself time they make things fresh. If dining in during typical dinner time they are usually busy so you may have a wait! But I definitely recommend panda machi! read more

The quality of the food here always amazes me. I feel like they became much better than they used to be. I was never disappointed. Their General TSO chicken is amazing and so is the orange chicken , but you should try the salt and pepper wings. Sushi is very good. I like the fried calamari roll. Their nigiri is always high quality, you can tell their chef is very talented. read more

Variety variety variety, that's what I love about this place! There seems to be something here for everyone, which is nice. But yet it doesn't have that "so many options that all of them are crappy" quality to it either. While everything might not be 100% authentic, it's still all well-made, really tasty, and nicely presented. I never come without ordering the Hot & Sour soup. No, it's not actually spicy at all. But it's got a really hearty quality you don't see a lot at other Chinese fusion places. Full bodied flavor and lots of stuff inside. My boyfriend also got a pretty yummy Tofu Vegetables dish. My favorite thing so far though has been the Szechuan Shrimp and Vegetables. Not as fiery as at actual Szechuan places, but still really really enjoyable and packed with yummy bamboo and veggies. They also have an extensive sushi menu, which I fully intend to try next time. I like that it's a place you can suggest to a group with everyone wants a different style of something read more
