    Hot table
    Gloria G.

    The place is located on Azusa Ave near Chuck E Cheese, it has a few tables inside but most order to go. It is clean and welcoming. They have a wide variety of items and will make soup, fried rice and special dishes to order. The service is friendly and quick and the food is always fresh and tasty. The combo meals are enough for 2 adults or 3 children when you order combo B. This place is a must every time we are in West Covina/ Covina .

    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!

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

    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.

    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 .

    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.

    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

    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.

It really goes to show how the surrounding community that has a balance of different ethnic group comes to appreciation the good flavor and quality of this Chinese cuisine. The services here are very friendly and attentive. The only thing to keep in mind is that if you come in an hour before they close they will let you know that in advance. I think the intent is so you order fast and don't linger. Not a negative for me since my family usually is pretty quick about eating and going. They are also pretty good with customizing their ingredients. My wife is gluten free so we would ask that they not add in soy sauce or oyster sauce in some of the dishes that we know can still work without those two ingredients. You would need to know how to customize it yourself as I don't think they would know what to do if you simply say no gluten. Overall, I really don't have anything negative to say about this place. We walk in hungry and happy and we come out full and satisfied.

I responded with no, party for 2, and another lady comes running over and says "but we close at 9" in which I responded, I'm well aware, but can we still order? they both responded with yes so i said okay can we seat? in which she responded with again, "but we close at 9." really not sure what's up with the people running this restaurant, but if you don't want the business or if you just want to close earlier, then do that. there are plenty of sichuan places in the SGV (and quite honestly probably better tasting) than this place. take your business elsewhere. PS - also seeing recent yelp reviews about trending terrible service, please just run from this place. if they don't want your business, don't force your time and money down their throats. i'm not interested in eating bloody chicken anyways.

I want to say there had been at least 10 orders before I finally set foot into the restaurant, only because my nephew's birthday was being celebrated there. The place looked like it had been newly remodeled/refreshed. It was nice and clean inside, but as lots of restaurants did during and after Covid, they ended up using some of dining space for excess storage, so there was a little section that was a bit cluttered, but that didn't bother me. I was there for the food (oh, and a birthday party...hahaha!) The food here is solid, and consistently delicious, even after they changed owners. Some of my favorites that I order on repeat: Orange Peel Chicken Honey Walnut Shrimp Salt & Pepper Pork Chop Salt & Pepper Fish French Style Filet Mignon My only gripe, is when it changed owners, the prices jumped quite a bit, so I had to cut back on the frequency of my orders. When I was shopping around for catering party trays, they were higher than all the others. Still though, the food is that good, so while I may not be willing to spend the money on party trays, I'll continue ordering from here for regular meals.

I asked an employee in Spanish if I could have a straw. She acted like she didn't understand me, so I asked again in English, and she still said she didn't understand. I just said never mind. But a few minutes later, my aunt asked the same employee in Spanish for more water, and suddenly she understood perfectly. That honestly left me confused. The employees also come off as rude and unfriendly. Then, when it's time to pay, they practically shove the tablet in your face while standing there watching you. We were a party of four, yet there was a $16 gratuity added, and on top of that they asked us how much extra tip we wanted to leave. It feels like you're being pressured into tipping twice instead of it being your choice. It's honestly sad because this place used to be so good. I've noticed fewer people eating there lately, and if the food quality and customer service keep getting worse, I can see why. I hope management takes this seriously and brings Thumbling back to what it used to be.

The minced chicken lettuce wraps were fresh and super flavorful, and the egg drop soup was pure comfort in a bowl and came out piping hot. The absolute standout was definitely the deep fried fish fillet. The batter was super light and airy, and the fish inside was perfectly flaky and tender. We paired it all with the vegetable lo mein, which was loaded with veggies and the noodles weren't mushy at all, which is always a win. Portions are good, everything feels fresh, and it definitely hits the spot. We have been dining here for years and will continue to do so!
