    We've been to Panda Wok a few times now, and honestly, it never disappoints. I usually get the 2 item combo with chow mein, broccoli beef, and orange chicken, classic and comforting, with good flavor and solid portions. BUT the real star? The cream cheese wontons. Crispy, creamy, and lowkey addictive. We came back specifically for those. They hit the spot every time. The restaurant itself is usually pretty empty when we go, but it's super clean, and that's always a win in my book. The service is great too, the woman working the counter was really friendly and made sure we had all the sauces, plates, and utensils we needed. Not to mention, she hooked it up with portions, and definitely gave me my moneys worth! Hot tip: if you're planning to order the BBQ pork, it's not ready until 1:30 PM daily, so time your cravings accordingly. Would definitely keep coming back when I'm in the mood for a quick, tasty bite!

    Combination plate , can't beat the tatse and price !

    I rarely eat out, but this has always been my go‑to Chinese food spot. I would go anywhere else because I'm always disappointed. Today I visited the location an hour away near my friend's place since I saw the same name and I just found out they're the original owners !!!! and wow, you can taste the difference. The moment I took the first bite, it felt like stepping back eight years. The flavor is exactly the same as I remember before the owners sold the other location. I still love both spots , but the other location spot never tasted quite right after the change, but this one? This is the real deal. Fresh, flavorful, consistent, and made with the same love and quality I fell in love with years ago. Tiffany was in the from for service and was a delight giving me the history as I sat with the big ambiance window before I drive ! It's absolutely worth the drive. If you want authentic, delicious Chinese food that hasn't lost its magic, this is the place. All Panda Wok's I guess are the true gems .

    WARNING GRAPHIC: Me spitting out the food on the left side on my first bite. Worst experience ever here for a first time visit.
    Roger M.

    Sadly...They gave me almost rotten meat going out. You could taste it that it was already going bad The meat was part of the beef and broccoli also, the person that was taking care of us was very rude older lady. The egg rolls tasted bad as well. Teriyaki chicken was very dry. I will definitely not recommend anybody come to this place if they continue with unethical practices. I didn't call the FDA or reported this place. That will be up to the next person. I would advise the owner to dispose of any meat past it's expiration date or going bad. Food poisoning and lawsuits are a subject of real matter. I will NOT be back here ever again.

    Bbq pork, orange chicken, chow mein, steamed rice

    Food is always good quality. Exactly what I expect from Chinese fast food! Best bbq pork I've had! But they only put it out after 1:45pm.

    Front of the panda wok, it's missing the last two characters for the sign.

    Terrable experience. I got there after 11:00 am and ordered two plates. I then drove back home, which is about nine and a half miles away. After taking care of a few things at home, I sat at the table to start eating; upon my first bite of the chicken vegetable dish it turned out to be extremely Terrable. The same with the chow mein. All I had left to eat was a salad in the refrigerator. After completing the salad, I then packed up the Tainted panda wok food, gathered up some other items I need to take care of and headed back out. Now, on the road, I stopped at the places I needed to stop at, because they were the closest. The last stop was back at panda wok, where the female clerk refused to give me a refund for the Tainted food, because I was there about three hours ago. She kept saying I should have called them, but being upset about the Tainted food they served me wasn't a good idea. Eventually, she asked the manager about giving me a refund, however he said the same thing, three hours is too long, even though 99% of the Tainted food is being returned. Plus he didn't even look at me or talk to me about the situation. The female clerk acted as of she was calling another manager, but stated he's not picking up the phone. Regardless, we argued back and fourth until she finally gave me a refund, but refused to give me the receipt back. I tried to argue about this as well, but she absolutely refused to give me the receipt back. I gave up on trying to get the receipt back and just walked away. Stay clear of this establishment, it's not even worth trying.

    Combo B  All chow mein Orange chicken  Bbq pork

    Was in the mood for chow mein and I wanted to try the tic tock trend to see how much food they'll give... lol Came around 5pm and it was empty and the lady behind the counter looked intimidating and mean. It didn't look like she wanted to work or serve us. Food was mediocre and ok. Orange chicken wasn't crispy 6/10 Bbq pork 8/10 Kung Pao chicken had a lot of celery 7/10 Spicy chicken 7/10 Would I come back... ummm no Place was clean but we took our food to go

    I was craving Chinese Food and it was late. I couldn't resist the temptation, So I  went to Panda Wok about half an hour before closing time. The place was crowded. Something happened that night, because I found out I wasn't the only one who was craving Chinese food,but there were many people who had the same ideas! The line was long but it moved fast. They had 3 types of combo plate; one item, two or three items. I got 3 items for my first two orders including barbecue pork, beef broccoli, barbecue chicken and half rice / half chow Mein. For the third order I chose shrimps with half chow Mein & half rice The food was really delicious, the amount was enormous. I also ordered wonton & cheese roll, but they were not that good. The lady who served us was super nice and friendly. The place was very clean although they were close to the closing time. They kept bringing out hot delicious trays from the kitchen while I was waiting to receive my orders. There were plenty of parking spots in Covina plaza, it was so easy to find a spot. That restaurant is a very nice spot with fast and good service, in addition to their yummy food

    Chow Mein Fried Rice Terriyaki Chicken Orange Chicken

    This place is super clean and the workers are really nice. The food was amazing. I definitely recommend stopping by. They are quick and good priced!!

Definitely not something I'd order again. That said, my mom would probably give this place 5 stars based on her favorite dish alone. While my experience wasn't quite at that level, the entrée itself was still enjoyable. Overall, I'd return and would recommend.

The egg drop soup arrived first-- golden, gentle, familiar-- and with one spoon I was a kid again, sitting at some long-ago table where life felt simple and safe. Then the feast spoke for itself: Mongolian beef shining with sweet fire, vegetable chow mein bright and honest, orange chicken like cheerful sunlight, garlic edamame and pepper wings crackling with flavor and joy. Everything tasted fresh, unhurried, as if it had been waiting just for us. The waitress cared for us like family, never rushing, always near, guarding the peace of our small evening.

Food is stellar and of value (6 XLB for $8!), portion sizes are good, and everything is piping hot! The soup dumplings have soo much soup IMO beating out Mama Lu's which is what I would consider to be their nearest competitor. The spicy shrimp wontons are also good, but I think the flavors don't quite hit as well - big pieces of shrimp are enclosed though! The Peppered Beef Udon was great the beef pieces were tender and juicy and great textured noodles. Onion pancakes are a staple along w/cucumber salad (not pictured) , and their pan fried pot stickers are my favorite along with the sauce it comes with. Sooo crispy.

The udon was decent, but nothing memorable. The xiao long bao was also just okay, which was surprising since that's usually a standout at dumpling-focused spots. On a positive note, the staff were great, very friendly and helpful, and most spoke Cantonese, which I appreciated. Ordering is done through a QR code on your phone, which is convenient if you prefer minimal contact, though I personally still like having a server take our order. Overall, nice service but the food just didn't deliver for me.
