Food is not good. I was hoping for a hole in the wall good food but this place tasted bad. Service was okay. Definitely a communication barrier but I wouldn't even bother trying. read more

Very mediocre Chinese food. Not to be confused with the outstanding Panda Gourmet nearby. My wife and I ordered from DoorDash and were excited since we love all things pandas. We got the Fried Chicken Dumplings and Steak Cheese Egg Roll for our appetizers which were good but our entrees the Orange Chicken had chicken with little flavor and the Pad Kee Mão (Drunken Noodles) lacked spice. The General Tso's Wings we saved for the next day were decent but lacked meat on some of the wings. Also no fortune cookies. This place makes me quite a sad panda. read more

Once again, Ordered food prior to them opening, email confirmed order. Order was not processed. Food quality is good. Last time ordering read more

Great food . Always go here . Best of all carry outs . Definitely a 9 out of 10 . Periodt

this place is extremely mid. I will be honest they do make a nice fried chicken. My fries are ALWAY over cooked and in my opinion over priced. The service and pushy energy is horrible, they don't even get out the car to "deliver" your food! You have to meet them at the car. I called and had a few questions about pricing along with the $4 delivery fee (not including tip) the owner starts huffing and puffing and said "why didn't you have your order together before calling? My goodness" EXCUSE me? now you can actually cancel my whole order. They will not get another penny of my money. I don't beg ppl to take my money and certainly don't spend it where I'm not respected or appreciated. These ppl must have forgot who pays their bills and send their kids off to school. The building is horrible, filthy on the inside and out but they could care less because I'm sure they don't live in the community where they run a business. I will never order from them again! I actually hung up and found a BETTER choice. The days of accepting horrible service are OVER. read more

I order from here all the time but today I'm not sure what's up.... it was supposed to be shrimp with lobster sauce.... but it looks regurgitated. It smelled as if it was mixed with oil that had been burned. It smelled and looked like cat food. I called to report this and the woman who answered laughed as if it were comical. When the driver arrived he told me the reason the food was wrong was because there were so many orders at once.... ok, we'll try again with another dish maybe. read more

Panda of DC - "Shrimp w/lobster sauce" - Chinese Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Went on the hotel recommendation! Visiting DC and late night hunger pains. It was pretty good with very fast delivery. The hot and sour soup was piping hot and full of flavor. Rich and thick the way I like it. Spring rolls were spring rolls, lol. The fried wontons were soggy. But the main dish, Kung Pao bean curd was very good. Packed with bean curd. More bean curd then veggies and what I liked is the veggies were sliced so thin. Really full of flavor. We also had the Pad Thai. Stir fried with dried bean sprouts, egg, sweet turnip, red peppers, and chicken. Didn't disappoint! read more

We've been twice for Chicken Wings and fried rice/fries and BOTH times the food was FRESH and good! I think I finally found a carryout in DC that can will make wings and mumbo sauce and it not taste like it was pre cooked and then refried in old grease!! Definitely my go to spot now!! read more

Always my go to Chinese place, ever since they left a menu at my door almost ten years ago! Their food is consistently hot and delicious, especially their appetizers and lo mein. Online ordering makes things really easy. I see from other reviews that people have had issues with delivery drivers, but I've always thought they seemed kind and cheerful. I tend to meet drivers streetside at their car anyways, though, and that seems to be most people's complaint. All in all, I'd definitely recommend this place! read more

We ordered from this place this evening and when the delivery arrived my brother went to grab the food. My brother was near the front gate (5feet from the door) waiting for the man to hand him the order. Then the man said out his window that he "does not get out of the car in THIS neighborhood" and refused to come to the door/gate of our row home to carry out the delivery. When my brother went to his window to get the order and upon looking at the reciept, the delivery driver then rushed him by saying "just sign the receipt" and had a nasty tone. Will not be ordering here again. If you and your employees are afraid and hold this policy then stop exploiting (and "delivering" to) our black neighborhoods with that fried garbage! Happy Juneteenth. Seriously stay away! Update: I am still anti Panda of DC! I have re- warned my friends and am warning the innanets again! You're welcome and order elsewhere! We need to stop supporting businesses that do not support us and our communities. I may have a Chinese takeout opening called Andap of CD opening soon! Stay tuned. read more

The food isn't the greatest but it's cheap, it's consistent, and they're stupid fast when it comes to pick up and delivery. The best things I've had from them come from The deep fryer, unfortunately I can't say the same for their stir fried dishes. Nevertheless it's not bad by any means and is still worth ordering (my caliber of Chinese American food is an endangered species that does not seem to exist within district lines.) wings unfortunately are not my favorite here (I'll rather go to china town in mtp). read more

No chicken in my General Tso's Chicken I paid an extra $2 for white meat and got batter. There were small micro bits of chicken in a few.. never a whole piece of chicken. Just a waste of money. Don't order this. read more

Meh stir fry, too greasy for my taste. Eggroll was crispy and not too dense; also could've used more draining before bagging. Fried rice was a little dry. Not a proud moment in Americanized Chinese food. The white rice was fine, and really that's what we needed other than a vegetarian supplement. read more

Get an extra spring roll And the dumplings are the thiccc skinned Foods good and cheap read more

Food was great but they are disrespectful to customers I have a speech problem and I couldn't repeat the credit card number correctly she was extremely rude about it and they forgot my wings. Delivery driver won't come up to the door read more

the chicken taste funny but the rice is good..it tatsted like the fat on the chicken didnt get cut off before putting it in the fried rice. Fix that please other wise their chicken is bomb as hell read more

I have eaten here for the last 10 years. Consistently good, sometimes better than others but always good....and great for the price. Plus you can still call them up and order the old fashioned way without having to go through an app. İt is sure nice to have your 30 dollar order actually not have a third party turn into a 42 dollars to get it ordered and to your door. I hope they stay the way they are. read more

The reviews about the delivery driver not wanting to come to the door is true. I had to go outside to get my order but I didn't completely mind as I was prepared. I am visiting D.C. for a conference and found this option for my mom and I. We ordered on their website which was really easy and actually really fast. I wasn't sure when the food would arrive because there wasn't a clear idea of how long it would take. When the food came it was packaged great. And really easy to spilt with my mom and put on plates. All of the food was hot and tasty. I would recommend ordering online and going that route. I also paid cash so I didn't speak to anyone when ordering. read more

Like another reviewer, I got Panda's menu in my mailbox. Being new to town, I thought I'd give it a try. I ordered online, which went very smoothly. The food came about 35 minutes later, which was very good for a Sunday evening. The food itself was ok, not the best Chinese I've ever had, but far from the worst. The quantity was what I was most impressed with. For the price, I expected a lot less food. I'll have plenty of leftovers for the next few nights. I'll definitely be ordering from them again in the future. read more

Who knew that actually ordering from a place that puts its menus in your apartment building's lobby would turn out to be the smartest idea all day? I ordered a small wonton soup, a large veggie lo mein, and a dinner-sized order of orange chicken, all for a grand total of $17. Completely worth it! Panda serves the biggest portions I've ever seen from a DC Chinese restaurant. When the delivery driver handed me my bag and left, I honestly called him back because I thought he'd given me someone else's order in addition to my own. The sheer weight of that bag was enough to be excited! While the wonton soup was just ok, the lo mein and chicken were delicious. Tons of veggies in the just-greasy-enough lo mein made for a great lead in to the spicy, saucy, tender chicken. And there was enough for 2 more meals for both me and my Hoover of a boyfriend! Next time I have a craving for soy sauce, Panda will be on speed dial. read more

I was extremely skeptical about this place when my friend and I decided to order take out. I was not sure how I felt about ordering non-Chinese food from a Chinese place. However, I ordered the gyro and potato wedges and it was quite good. The gyro had "lamb" but I really felt like it was soy or turkey meat. The tzatziki was okay, but not as thick as I am used to. The pita was fresh which is my favorite part about a gyro. The potato wedges were fantastic! I scarfed those down. I don't think I would order the gyro from there again. The non-Chinese food is okay. The seaflood platter is not bad and there is so much to choose from and my friends says that pretty much anything is good (I will take his word for it). Super fast delivery and I love the online ordering system. read more

I've read the reviews prior to ordering and decided to take a risk. I live near the carry out, so I was expecting the speedy delivery majority of the few past customers raved about. It took an hour for one luke warm spring roll and shrimp with broccoli. I was expecting the driver to pull the exact move of what the pervious reviewer stated...drive up and hand me the food from his car. Then had the nerve to smile and ask for a tip like it's required. I gave him a tip alright that .50 cents he kept because he did not have change. The food was plied with broccoli and little shrimp, plus the broccoli looked old. The food had an awful odor and so some odd reason a weird sweet taste (which was not pleasant). I normally make my own chinese food at home, but having a lazy Saturday I thought I could afford to waste $12.50. And a waste it was. Never again, I'll stick to cooking fresh food myself by simply following simple recipes online. read more

I've ordered from this place on two occasions and it's not bad. I've only had the Singapore Noodles which are quite tasty. The service has been prompt both times and the menu is quite extensive. read more

Classic chinese carryout. I got the shrimp & broccoli and it was great. Arrived quickly and was under $10. Would definitely go again.

Enjoyed General Tso's vegetarian chicken dish. Also tried the chicken with broccoli and garlic sauce. Chicken & vegetables were cooked nicely, but sauce was way too salty. We were stuck in our hotel, and called for a delivery during the huge DC snow storm. I'm sure they had a million orders to deliver since they were the only delivery option we had. Totally not going to hold a salty sauce against them. Not to mention, it was a quick delivery. read more

Ordered shrimp rangoon, spring rolls, sweet and sour chicken, and shrimp egg foo young from yelps ordering service though the app. The order took about an hour to get here, which seems about average, the food was still hot. Now when it comes to the food itself, it's not too bad not too good. If you're craving Chinese food/carry-out and don't have a lot of options in the NE area this is solid a go-to. read more

The delivery was fast and the food better than I expected. The only thing I didn't like was how there was barely any meat, shrimp etc. with the meals we ordered. In each meal there was more vegetables peppers, onions, zucchini etc. than anything else unfortunately. read more

these people have the worst customer service ever! when you decided to set up your business in urban areas, (because if you thought you could get rich in downtown dc & and afford that rent- that's where you should have set up shop) don't think you can take our money, get rich off of us, and mistreat and handle us anyway you choose!!! that delivery driver who is probably a family member by the way he conducts himself when making deliveries has no idea of what customer service or delivery service means!!! when i pay for delivery that means you deliver it to the customer inside of the place of business or residence - not outside!!! and not having an attitude when i have to tell/ask you to come inside to deliver my order when you as a delivery person should already know that!!! then you start speaking in your native language obviously saying something derogatory because you don't want to do your job!! we spend a lot of money keeping you in business and this is the shit we have to deal with?! i'm pretty sure you realize at this point that i nor my co- workers will never spend another penny at this business!! i would also advise anyone else in this area to stop making them rich since they don't know how to treat people who spend their hard earned money with this restaurant that keeps them in business!!! read more

DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS RESTAURANT. The food might taste alright but I found a little surprise in my meal. Yes folks, that is a ROACH! GROSS! Never ordering from them again and I have notified the health department. read more

Panda of DC - I FOUND A ROACH IN MY FOOD, DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS RESTAURANT!!!!! - Chinese Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

This is THE ONLY carry out I will order from. Either from home or work, the food tastes great and delivery has NEVER been more than 30 minutes tops. Great spot. read more

On a whim we ordered from this menu we found in our apartment mailbox and were very impressed! I have gluten allergies so had to get a special order, which they followed perfectly--steamed tofu and veggies with white sauce on the side. Wide variety of crisp steamed veggies and TONS of tofu. The sauce was GREAT. My boyfriend ordered egg drop soup and shrimp and lobster with extra snow peas. The food was all awesome, huge proportions, great flavor, and not greasy at all. And we love the prices! We'll definitely be calling again!!! read more

This is my go to carry out. I really enjoy their wings, they are good the first day and even better the next. The delivery comes in a decent amount of time and everyone is pretty friendly. I think they do a pretty good job of both Chinese and American food. I'm certain that there is one chef who can really cook, but isn't always there because some days the food taste not as good as a previous experience but it's still pretty good. read more

Pretty average Chinese food delivery/carry out, though things might be a little overcooked. There are definately better Chinese delivery places in the area. read more

It was late , very cold out in DC I didn't feel like going anywhere to eat so I just ordered Chinese for delivery....I order the chicken lo mein , side garden salad ,& Shrimp egg roll...The delivery was quick , the food was hot and PLENTY I couldn't finish ass the Lo mein . I'm going to bookmark this place as my go to for Chinese delivery in DC.. read more

This is the best Chinese food I've had in DC. To be honest, I've never even been to this establishment but I have ordered from here 3 times now. The delivery time is usually about 30 minutes (which is awesome!). So far, the food has been great! My new obsession is the pork fried rice. It comes standard if you order any of the dinner specials. Basically, the food here is awesome and I felt it was my civil duty to leave a positive review. read more

If you live in North-East don't bother with delivery my experience was not so pleasant: The driver drove right up to my house and sat in the parking lot. I called him back and asked him to please come to the door, but he drove off. I called him again to tell him that I saw him drive off and he said that he was outside. I tried several times to tell him that he was in the wrong parking lot and began to flash my porch light. I asked him if he could see the flashing light and he said yes. After speaking to people at the resturant he finally came back. I went outside for a third time in the cold and rain to stand at the bottom of my stairs. He pulled up right in front of me and waived angrily at me to walk all the way out into the parking lot. I held up my soaking wet bedroom slipper to show him that I was not wearing shoes, but he waived me into the parking lot again! I understand that the driver is worried for his safety, but my neighborhood is not even a little dangerous. It is a very safe neighborhood. Furthermore, I recieved a flier from your business. Panda DC sent ME a flier to deliver to ME. If you do not want to deliver my food with respect then do not send me any advertisements. I am very disappointed in the level of service and if I had not prepaid, I would have cancelled the order. read more

Yah gonna have to give this place 0 stars after we found a piece of metal in my wife's food. She cut the roof of her mouth and the health dept has been notified. read more

When I order Chinese, I typically go for lo mien, Panda was disappointing. The Lo mien tasted very heavily of garlic, which in my opinion is not what lo mein should taste like. Additionally, the rice tasted like it had been buttered, steamed rice should be just that; steamed. Further, it took 3-4 separate calls to place the order. I had 4 bars the whole time, but the calls kept dropping out. read more

This was so good! So So So Good. I am vegetarian, or try to be. Options for vegetarians are usually dismal and punitive, but Panda Gourmet has an option for "fake" aka soy protein "meat" TVP OPTION - it tastes just like the real thing once it's seasoned! read more

Basil Fried Rice was awesome! 5th star missing because it was about 8 teens smoking inside the place while I was waiting for my food and no one said anything to them. They were actually entertaining, but that smoke smell stuck in my clothes and winter jacket to the point I had to put it in the cleaners (not a smoker) read more
