    Me and a friend decided to do some take out Chinese cause it's way too freakin hot to do any real cooking at her house. She lives near this Panda South Chinese Restaurant, so this is where we went. Service was fast and efficient in placing our order, we actually went inside instead of a phone order, just so there won't be any miscommunications with what we wanted. We got some pot stickers, beef chow fun, and cause Yelper Howie S. mentioned they had Tomato Beef Hong Kong noodles, we got that. They packed the crispy noodles separate, so they didn't get soggy with the toppings. All the food was still very hot when we got to her house and unpacked it all. The pot stickers lost some temp, but no biggie. The noodles of the chow fun were tender and not chewy and there was plenty of beef. The tomato beef over crispy noodles was very good with the sauce having the proper amount of vinegar for that little zing and not too sweet. I'd get food from here again.

    Wish I could give no stars. Yesterday, I ordered hot and sour soup along with other entrées for pickup. I ate most of the food last night and saved the hot and sour soup for lunch today. Unfortunately, when I opened the soup, I discovered an unwelcome "extra protein"--a roach. Understandably, I was horrified. I immediately contacted the restaurant to inform them. While they offered a refund/ replacement, I declined. I explained the severity of the issue and urged them to address their food safety and cleanliness standards urgently. This experience was deeply unsettling, and I now regret eating the rest of the food. Taking laxatives for peace of mind shouldn't have to be part of dining out. I hope the restaurant takes this as a wake-up call to prioritize their customers' health and well-being.

We ordered from the Lunch Special menu, which was from 11AM to 3PM everyday. The entrees came with Soup of the Day, Egg Roll, and either Steamed Rice, Pork Fried Rice, or Chicken Chow Mein. We ordered the Chicken with Snow Peas with Steamed Rice for $11.75, Vegetable Bean Curd with Steamed Rice for $11.55, and Beef with Oyster Sauce with Chicken Chow Mein for $12.55. The Soup of the Day was Hot & Sour Soup. The soup was really good, delicious, and not spicy at all. The Egg Rolls were crispy and too oily. The dipping sauce for the egg rolls was good. All the dishes were descent, but way too salty. We were told you can request the dishes to be light on the salt. We wouldn't mind returning next time as the flavors were good, but we would request the dishes be less salty.

Let me tell you!!! As someone who lives in the Bay Area, I get real excited when I see good prices like here, especially from Asian restaurants where normally every entree other than an appetizer is about $15-$17. You can't find good chow mein for under that price where I live in San Jose. This restaurant was fresh and delicious, flavorful and overall everything you'd expect from a Chinese restaurant. The place overall is quiet and soothing, a nice atmosphere to just sit and have a decent meal in peace. They even got some classical music playing subtly in the background, like a spa. The staff are very polite and welcoming, mostly women in the front, very kind and sweet. They smile a lot and refilled our drinks without us asking. Everything we had ordered was splendid. Chow mein was firm, not soggy, sauce stuck into the noodle, full of flavor, didn't even need to add soy sauce. Had a nice "wok hei" flavor to it too, for those that don't know it basically means savory and smoky like how Chinese food should taste. Garlic chicken was delicious and not too spicy at all, just some chili flakes. It didn't really have a garlicky flavor but more of a sweet, sour and mild kind of flavor. Great portions and a nice balance of veggies, sauce and meat. Nothing here tasted bland. The broth of the sizzling rice was perfect, not too salty and for once they actually put the toasted rice on the side so it doesn't get too soggy within the soup. I love this place, if I'm ever in the area again I will definitely be back, maybe even during the night when the bar is open. I've never been to a Chinese restaurant that had an open bar and tv which I thought was pretty classic. They closed my favorite local Chinese spot in my neighborhood and I've been all over the bay but this place up in Redding is the closest to it, very happy we came across this on yelp. It was worth turning around 10 minutes just to try it. We had ordered the lunch special (11am to 3pm) combo plate with chicken chow mein, chicken with garlic sauce, it came with an egg roll and your choice of egg flour or sweet and sour soup. My hubby got shrimp fried rice and I had ordered the sizzling rice soup because I came across another review that said it was the best they've ever tried. I had to get me some, it's a childhood classic for me and I agree it's the best. Also we only paid $41 plus tip for a lotta food. I rate this place 12/10!

    Food here has gone downhill over the last few years. They are nice but really not terribly good.read more

Me and my daughter and my husband selected up place.
