Tried this place on a whim and so far have been a fan. When I come into Montrose for shopping and such, I usually like to grab some lunch. I had this place pop-up on yelp or something decided to head on in and give it a try. I have two main staples that I usually get. One is the barbecue pork appetizer and a side of steamed rice, which is huge and the other, barbecued spareribs. Both of them have always been good and hit the spot. I've always had great service from all the staff here. With a minimal wait time. read more

I've been meaning to try this place for a long time. Unfortunately, it was not what I was hoping for. The lo mein had almost no vegetables, just strips of meat. The sauce was too sweet and there was so little of it that it was almost dry. The white rice was dry, too. Egg rolls were good but had a lot oil. Disappointing. read more

We were passing through Montrose and had dinner here, on the recommendation of our grandson when he was in town with a fire crew last summer. We weren't disappointed. All three of us had something different, and all of us were very happy with our food. It was hot and very tasty, and the service was excellent. We'll return for more the next time we are close to Montrose! Georgia read more

Not very many gluten free options, their dishes don't have descriptions in the menu, and my dish wasn't very flavorful or substantial. I am a vegetarian and I have a gluten intolerance, which I acknowledge is a very difficult combination, but lots of Asian restaurants I have gone to in the past have good options for this combination. In their menu the names of the dishes were listed in Mandarin and English. I understand listing in both languages but I would have also appreciated descriptions of the ingredients and what type of sauce went with each dish. Not only does this help choose a dish you will enjoy but helps people with allergies find dishes safe for them. My waitress was very nice and helpful but the dish she recommended was super underwhelming. It was a plate of seemingly raw snow peas, a few water chestnuts and carrots, a very light white sauce, and rice. I would have appreciated a better veggie distribution (fewer snow peas and more other veggies), a more flavorful sauce, and enough sauce to flavor the rice. I saw many other people enjoying their meals here so I don't want to claim my experience was representative of the restaurant as a whole. Besides the food the staff were kind, helpful, and attentive. The interior of the restaurant was clean and nice. read more

Panda Palace - Snap pea and water chestnut meal - Chinese Near Me - Montrose, Colorado

It is very expensive for what you get. Had to wait for 15 to 20 minutes each time, seems like a long time to wait for takeout.

We've consistently had great food and service here. Portions are excellent, waitstaff is fast and efficient. It's not fanciest joint in town but who cares. Great food, decent prices by modern standards, great service. read more

Our takeout dinners were chicken and vegetables and honey walnut shrimp..both with steamed rice. The rice was fluffy and moist. Vegetables were crisp not soggy. Chicken was perfect as well as the shrimp. Servings were quite generous...enough for another meal. A+...we highly recommend! read more

Great service, great food, friendly people and very clean environment. Very happy to be able to eat there and calm and relaxing and such a blessing to be able to walk in and smell wonderful food and see a smile when you walk to the door with all the crate customer service I appreciate this place and this establishment is wonderful to eat that if you have any business friends or even on casual night out, this was one place I would go read more

The food is always hot, fast and consistent. We have been eating here since 2001 and we have never been disappointed.

Food was great! Got a to go order and they were huge services and super yummy! Fast service too' read more

Just rolled in to town . Was excited to find Chinese delivery . 65.00 later I'm very disappointed. Nothing was good , from the soup to walnut chicken to moshu pork Lomein..... well u get the idea Nothing was good ! Delivery was quick let me give them that !! read more

My go to place for Chinese food in Montrose. Good service and fast order fulfillment. The majority of the business has been take-out since COVID as far as I can tell so I can't really speak to the overall atmosphere but I can vouch for the good food and excellent service. read more

Stopped here again this year on our way thru CO and disappointed for first time! Both ordered spicy dishes and no spice at all, didn't even have hot Chile pods in either dish, and more bland tasting. Hot sour soup was only thing very good! read more

After spending the day exploring Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park just outside the city of Montrose, Colorado....I had a craving for Chinese comfort food. On a whim, I found Panda Palace and it was EXACTLY what I was looking for! Stepping inside the restaurant on a Sunday evening, the place was relatively crowded with a pleasant atmosphere and I just knew I had a good omen about coming here. One entire page of the menu is dedicated to Combination Dinners. This is pretty much the only section you need to look at on the menu unless you're interested in something specific. They offer 4 options... A - Canton Dinner - $15.95 per person. B - Peking Dinner - $16.95 per person C - Panda Palace Dinner - $19.95 per person D - Complete Dinner - $11.50 - $12 per person. I chose Complete Dinner D. It came with soup to start. I chose Wonton Soup which was served in a small cup and just enough as a quick starter. You then get an appetizer....BOTH egg roll AND a piece of fried shrimp that was unique, tasty and different to what I'm used to seeing at typical generic Chinese restaurants. AND THEN...I got my entree, chicken and garlic sauce with fried rice. WOW THAT'S A LOT OF FOOD! ALL FOR $11.50!!! BARGAIN OF THE CENTURY! And being honest...the food surely met my expectations. The whole meal offered so much that I took home half my dinner. It was just hard to believe getting a 3 course meal for $11.50 with the food being prepared fresh to order and hot! I really have to say Panda Palace deserves a lot more recognition....unless maybe all the restaurants in Montrose are like this. I'm just a tourist from Florida, lol. Finishing up, all Combination Dinners have 3 courses and for your entree, you have 7 - 8 options to choose from...more than enough to find what you're looking for. Also, service was fast...you could tell this is a no frills, no messing around kinda place. People were ordering carryout and pickup, though I'm not sure if they do deliveries...but I would think so. Overall I couldn't have asked for anything better than Panda Palace....especially coming from running all over, hiking and spending a full day at Black Canyon of the Gunnison. This was a satisfying way to end my evening and I'm grateful to have found this place. read more

The worst service I've ever encountered. They were very very rude. The food was awful and very overpriced. Please do not waste your time or money! read more

Shrimp and Eggplant was very good. Shrimp and Tofu was mildly sauced but fresh with lots of crunchy veggies. I love this place and the owners and staff are kind and helpful. Not the most "authentic chinese" experience, but the food is fresh and the place is clean. I love it. read more

Food was quick, but average. Our lomain was overcooked, but the tofu and vegetables was good.

Truly some of the best Chinese food we've had in CO ever. We were greeted right away and enjoyed our meal. The honey walnut shrimp was phenomenal and my husband thoroughly enjoyed the BBQ Pork. Daniel, our server, was attentive and considerate during his time helping us. Highly recommend and a gem in Montrose. read more

Great food,good value. Out of town and have eaten here twice. Very good.I would recommend this place.

Good quality food, satisfying proportions, priced well. Service was just fine, overall a decent nice place to grab a quick meal.

Food was outstanding. We had the egg rolls, chicken chop suey, pork egg foo young, and pork fried rice. It was very different from what I'm used to in the Chicago area, but in the best way! Didn't care for the sweet and sour sauce and no hot mustard with the egg rolls but still deserving of a 5 star rating. All food is large size only so it adds up but it's plenty of food! read more

Garbage food made by people with terrible attitudes. If I could give ZERO stars I would. Lo mein is dry and has terrible flavor. Orange chicken is DRY as hell with terrible flavor. I mean, how do you make something so oily with literally no flavor? Schezwan chicken taste like dirty chicken water. Tastes like plastic with a touch of "I don't give a heck" Just terrible all around. Been here three times to try to give a local place a chance....I'm sorry but not sorry...can't do it ever again. read more

The food was good and we will go back. It is easy to either call ahead or stop by and the food is ready quickly.

The food was good and the service was very fast. It was in a reachable area and cheap.

OMG! So good. So fast. So friendly. A coworker suggested this place during a recent work trip to Montrose. I had about 45 minutes for lunch between meetings, and I was in and out of this place so quickly! The food was hot and fresh. I was worried it would be reheated frozen food, but the veggies were crisp! I am slightly confused on the reviews stating this place is full of rude workers. High school students were in and out of the place while I was eating due to the location being across from the high school. One student, while joking around with other students, spilled his take out all over the floor. The staff handled the situation with grace and were never annoyed with the students being high school students. read more

Appreciate that they were open on Christmas (had to do the classic Chinese food), but the food was super greasy. Got veggie fried rice. It was ok, just not a ton of flavor or that "OMG" feeling you get with really yummy Chinese takeout. Felt like I had to wash my face after eating it. Definitely a classic Montrose spot though. read more

Probably the best value in Montrose. Great food good service and the price can't be beat.

Food has gone way downhill, the last 4 times we've gotten take out from here it's been pretty awful. Use to have really good food they are just cutting too many corners and the quality has really suffered. Staff are pleasant restaurant is clean the food just isn't as good as it use to be. Won't be going back anymore, thought it was a one off but it's not. Much better places in town to eat!!! Sad hate to kick a small businesses to the curb but it is what it is!!! read more

Terrible service, food is mediocre, I had a server disagree with me? I ordered the B dinner, 19.95 per person, 2 people at the table and he brings dinner for 1 ? The manager said that they can't read minds? I wanted to ask if she or her employee could count to ? You guessed it, 2 read more

Never consistent. Worst "fried rice". Just colored with soy sauce. No egg or veggies. Doesn't taste fresh....They need some competition! Try harder!! read more

Boring food and very Americanized. The chicken was dry. The take out we ordered came out so fast that I realized that they must keep it in steamer bins instead of cooking to order. Traditional Chinese is cooked to order and really fresh. The fried rice was also dry and gummy. I have traveled in Asia and was an ESL teacher for many years and many of my adult students came from all over the East. They loved to invite me to their homes where I got to enjoy the best Chinese food and we often went to very authentic restaurants where the food is cooked as it is ordered . I am really disappointed that we don't have a really good Chinese restaurant in Montrose anymore since the only good one has closed. read more

We spent time looking for a place, and just loved it! Good food, good portions too! Enjoy and go get some!!

Food was good. A bit overpriced. Had the food delivered and that was crazy expensive. The delivery person was very friendly. Don't know about the atmosphere as I had food delivered. read more

My Dad and I were passing through and had a craving for Chinese food! Found this place and we were both very impressed! Their lunch specials are so affordable and had huge portion sizes! The quality and quantity of food was superb. If I lived in Montrose I would be a regular here! read more

It's good. But they don't have gluten-free soy sauce. Vegan food is easy. And the portions are large. My husband loves this place. Me? It's good, but I could go somewhere else too. read more

This place is a bit scary. The staff are rude and just downright unfriendly The food is below average and to tell the truth I just did not feel well after. I try to not even look in general direction When passing by. read more

Enjoyed an early dinner of Kung Pao Chicken and Shrimp with Mixed Veggies. Decent Chinese food in this little town, shrimp and veggies were fresh, crunchy and perfectly prepared. Kung Pao Chicken was tasty, though I'm always expecting more veggies than the dish provides. This is no fault of the restaurant, it's more what we Americans expect from this preparation, I bet if I asked they would toss in some zucchini, mushrooms, etc. Love the speedy service and the convenience. read more

A visitor to the city, craving for Asian dish. The food is surprising good. I ordered Singapore fried noodle with chicken and shrimp for take-out. It is well cooked with a lot of vegetable, chicken and shrimp. Very tasty. Strongly recommend! read more

This place was so good that we got it on the way to Telluride and then couldn't wait to have it again on the way back! Portion sizes are very large, so we had enough for the next day. Veggies were crisp and fresh, and just can't say enough about how flavorful the beef was! Way better than most places near us in Dallas. read more
