    Orange chicken fries
    Ivette z.

    I used to go to a Mongolian BBQ place in Westwood when I went to ucla and I have been trying to find one in OC. This place definitely scratched that itch. It was SO good. They also have a Chinese food buffet, but my favorite was easily the Mongolian bbq. Also, everyone kept coming in to get the orange chicken fries so we of course had to try it...I get the hype. Super yummy. Will be going back soon!

    A friend and I wanted to try a Mongolian BBQ place near us, but they are closed on Monday. I found a few other options, and we decided to come and try Panda Mongolian BBQ. They are located in a strip mall, and we arrived around 6pm. There was plenty of parking and a lot of seating available inside. We walked in, and I told the woman at the register it was our first time here, and she told us how it works. The restaurant is spotless. They apparently had an ownership change in January, and it looks like a brand new restaurant. There are three booths along the front window, and a good number of tables as well. There are two food stations, one for Mongolian BBQ and one Chinese food, and the price for both is $7.99 per pound. For the Mongolian BBQ, you grab a bowl and fill it with your ingredients. The four available proteins are beef, pork, chicken, and shrimp and they were all very chilled. There is also a big spread of veggies and noodles at the end. All of the veggie containers and noodles were full and very fresh, as they appeared to be ready for the evening dinner crowd. Once you have loaded up your bowl, you take it to the cook and tell them which combination of the six sauces you would like. I loaded my bowl with beef, shrimp, a little pork, jalapenos, green peppers, mushrooms, and noodles. I took my bowl to the grill and told the cook I wanted the #1 Spicy Garlic Sauce which the host said was very popular. The cook then prepares it for you, and puts it in a to-go container. Take the container to the register to weigh and pay, then grab a seat or head out. The Chinese food is buffet style and is already prepared. You just load up your container, weigh, and go. They are apparently known for their Orange Chicken Fries which I'll have to come back and try. My container was a little under a pound and cost a tad bit over $8 after tax. The food was cooked perfectly, was fresh, flavorful, delicious, and filling. I went heavy on the protein and light on the noodles, it's all the same price. I don't know where you're going to find a better bargain than this for delicious Mongolian BBQ.

    First time here with the new ownership and it was great. Delicious food and good customer service and nice and clean environment

    $7.99 per pound ~ $16 plate

    At $7.99 per pound, fresh of the wok entrees, you can have some real fun DIYing a plate! Lots of self service but staff is attentive to make sure you get taken care of! They're under new management and they actually had a 20% promo when i went too! Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating as well! Food quality is actually my favorite part. Plenty of tasty options like honey shrimp, orange chicken, bbq pork!

    To go menu.

    Stopped for the weekend buffet since we came to Starbucks. Food is fresh and tasty. Lots of shrimp dishes, coconut and salt & pepper were really good. Hot & sour soup was really good. Fresh self serve Mongolian bbq. It's of options and lots of sauce options Jazz music and intimate. Wasn't busy at 338 pm. Great service. Worth a try.

    Went back a few days ago with some friends. We used to go here once a month years ago. Glad to say we'll be doing that again now! We had no issues with the service so that's great. Food was delicious, even my pickiest eater friend loved it. The Chinese food buffet area was hot and fresh. Overall it looks like they're off to a great start!

    (Friday 3pm) I absolutely loved it! Service was beyond amazing! Explained to us the options and the steps since it was our first time there. Ambiance was very open friendly and casual. Definitely can see myself with a group of friends here. Portion size definitely depends on how much YOU want to eat. They have two plate sizes; small and large (Mongolian) Each pound (1lbs) is $7.99. They have Chinese food or Mongolian, can do both if you choose. I will say this place needs more decor and a bit more of ventilation but besides these minor details I highly recommend!!! Cleanliness 9/10 Service 10/10 Location 8/10 Ambiance 8/10 Portions 10/10 Overall 9/10 I will definitely be going back! *everyone has different experiences, remember to be kind.*

    Amazing Food amazing service customer service on point. They have an open buffet and I love it. Joanne was the best. I'm highly satisfied.

    Orange chicken fries
    Cha L.

    What a hole in the wall gem of a place! You pick out your items in a bowl and take it to the grill where you can pick your sauces! I like the garlic ponzu sauce the best. Teriyaki one was a bit sweet. The fire dragon sauce is like black pepper. Try all and see which one u like! After it's cooked, you take it to the register and you'll weigh it and pay. As of the date of writing this, it's $7.99 a pound. You can also get Chinese food by the pound, they have like honey walnut shrimp, char siu, fried rice, chow mein, orange chicken, etc. The place is very clean and well maintained! Customer service is also A+! Also... GET THE ORANGE CHICKEN FRIES. IT IS SO GOOD!!!!

    Orange Chicken Fries

    I came to try out this place because I saw that the store has changed owners and changed into something completely different. I was so excited to try this place out, especially with how great the marketing was about their promotions and menu items. I have been here quite a couple of times already previously to this, so here are picture references to what I've bought: Mongolian BBQ and Orange Chicken Fries! I always do the build your own per lb. with the #4 Dragon sauce because I think it's the most flavorful. Every other sauce is good as well, but I just preferred #4! This place is very self-explanatory--you get a bowl and you just stuff it with all the things you want. And if you need another bowl for noodles separately you can do so and they would still cook it altogether for you. The buffet area goes by $7.99/lb, same concept as the previous, but pre-cooked and all you need to do is weigh at the end and pay. The owners and the staff are all so generally nice! The middle aged man and woman that's usually upfront is always so so kind and happy to see new and previous customers which makes the mood so much more pleasant and not as unwelcoming. There's lots of seating areas with warm lighting to sit so you have plenty of space to chill. It's always so clean when I come in and that's something I think says a lot about this place. 100% recommend you to try out this place and if it's not your thing, at least you said you tried it! Food is absolutely delicious and the price per lb doesn't hurt anyone either!

    I love the atmosphere here. We have our go-to table. We have our go-to orders and every single time they have really nice staff that always care and try to make it a good experience. The food is amazing. They have a hot section and they also have the raw section. Highly recommend going to the hot section and getting some coconut shrimp and some wings. For the actual food itself, get a ton of meat because it's light and just keep going with a lot of protein and then you can fill up on the other stuff as extra. Remember it's $7.99 per pound so you can get a lot of food at a cost-effective price and it's delicious. I highly recommend only one sauce. You should also give the orange chicken fries a try. It is delicious and always comes out very hot!! Come check this place out!!!

    My family and I have been coming here since they opened. Staff is super friendly and helpful. The self serving area is always clean and fully stocked. The food is great, they have different options of protein like, chicken, pork, beef and shrimp. They have lots of veggie options to add to your plate. The food is cooked in front of you, so it's always hot and fresh. Tables are always clean. Our family loves coming here. Staff is great and makes coming here wonderful.

Now they build the bowl for you, but it's still just as good. I came for the lunch special, which includes a bowl, a drink (Pepsi products), and an egg roll or wonton. I added a biscuit pocket too. I wish the biscuit pocket was part of the lunch special because it's one of my favorite things here. The meat is good, the veggies are fresh, and the sauces have a lot of flavor. The staff was really welcoming and brought the food out to my table once it was ready. They checked on me a few times, and it wasn't too crowded, which made for a nice lunch. My total came out to about $24, which isn't bad for how much food you get. I ate about half my bowl there and had enough left for dinner later. Definitely worth it if you're hungry.

When I looked it up, I was surprised to discover they have been there since 1989. They are located at the far north end of the shopping center on Harbor Blvd and Imperial Highway in Fullerton. There is plenty of parking. It looks pretty cool when you first walk in with wallpaper that makes it look like you are in the forest. It was very hot inside when we entered. I don't think the air conditioning was working, and they just had a few floor fans in the dining area. A Mad Wolf BBQ bowl costs $16.95 and includes one serving of any ingredients you choose, assembled by a staff member. The meats are beef, chicken, and pork. There was a wide selection of ten veggies, and nine different sauces to select from or mix. The bowl also comes with a large serving of noodles or steamed rice. Once you have selected all of your ingredients, they cook it up on the griddle and bring it to your table. The bowl was good, but it was heavy on the noodles and not as much on the meat. You can order extra meat for $2.75 which I would definitely do next time. The kind woman at the register brought us some chile oil so we could kick up the heat on our bowls. It was definitely filling, and I took a portion home for later. The staff was friendly, delivered our cooked food to our table, and cleared the table immediately after we got up to leave. I would normally give this place four stars, but it was very hot outside, and with no air conditioning, it was uncomfortably hot inside also. I don't know if this is a permanent situation, but I wouldn't return on a hot day.

We ordered combo C while making a few substitutions to our order along with a few additions. This combo fed 4 people and there was plenty of food left over. We did have a slight language barrier with our server who unfortunately brought out our meal incorrect multiple times. Our server however was quick to correct his mistakes and very apologetic. Good customer service in spite of mistakes goes a long way. The atmosphere is casual, and low playing 80's rock echoed throughout the dining area. The restaurant had a relatively small dining room which wasn't overly crowded at 6pm-ish on a Friday night. The bar counter hosted a couple guests as well. The honey walnut shrimp was arguably my favorite meat, while the house chow mein was my favorite side. The restaurant provided complimentary fried wonton crisps complimented by sweet and sour dipping sauce. This was the perfect starter prior to our food coming out.

Not too thick, great flavor and nice and hot! Some large egg rolls were included. A little oily for my taste but again, Irene liked hers. You can ask for some S&S/mustard dipping sauce. A slightly different take on how they prepared the mustard. The sweet and sour was decent breaded chicken with good homemade sauce, chopped onions and peppers. No pineapple darn it. My Kung Pao could have been called Kung zucchini! That was okay as the portion was huge and I shared some. Plenty of peanuts too (I wished they had been cooked inside the wok..).

However, I do agree with other reviews that it is bland. I even asked for extra garlic and extra spicy to add more flavor. Even with adding all the sauces they offer, it seemed a bit bland. I did not want to add the soy sauce packets as it would ruin the flavor. I ended up having leftovers and wanted a new to-go container as there was a pool of oil at the bottom. I knew this would leak and didn't want my extra noodles to soak it all up. I went up to ask the staff for a new smallee container but they refused to give me a new one. I almost brought my container to show them the amount of oil, but just gave up and decided to leave. Another diner must have heard me so I shared that there was a lot of excess oil and he said his was like that too. I just bagged it up with one of their plastic bags.

The flimsy forks we were using had no chance of cutting the pork into smaller bits but our server brought a knife and that worked pretty good. The taste exceeded my expectations. I would order this dish again. Our other order was Kung Pao Delight $11.50 ... this dish is a nice spicy mix of thinly sliced beef, chicken, three little shrimps, chopped celery, zucchini slices, peanuts and diced carrots. A nice sized portion served with steamed rice. I wish I had just ordered the king pao chicken as the "shrimp" was not great... small and kind of funky? Easy to put aside. The plentiful beef strips were tender (a little chewy) but had a nice texture/flavor along with the rice. I really liked the chicken and that is how I will order it in the future. Lunch comes with thick egg drop soup served nice and hot. The way I like it. A crispy egg roll and cream cheese wonton that was really good as I dipped it into the accompanying sweet/sour sauce and hot Chinese mustard (comes with a little plate of fried noodle bits) - always a hit with me. The hot jasmine tea was very good as well. The old school menus could use a little cleaning but what the heck - I'm not eating off them! My question to myself is always will I come back again? I will definitely return and we were glad that we rediscovered this place once again!

I wasn't asking for anything unreasonable, yet I was treated as if I was an inconvenience. His tone was disrespectful, his attitude was hostile, and the entire interaction left me wondering why someone working with customers would choose to speak to people that way. What frustrated me even more was that when I calmly asked for his name, he refused to give it to me. He also wasn't wearing a name tag. If you're willing to treat customers poorly, you should at least be willing to identify yourself when asked. The other employees I've encountered here have always been courteous and professional, which makes this person's behavior even more disappointing. One employee shouldn't be able to damage the reputation that the rest of the staff works hard to build. I don't know what was going on with him that day, but there is simply no excuse for treating customers with that level of disrespect. Hopefully management takes this seriously because nobody should have to deal with that kind of behavior when they're simply trying to enjoy a meal.
