DOORDASH/DELIVERY REVIEW Just moved back to the 626 since I was a child and asked around about the best American Chinese fast food spots. Everyone said this place and ohhh boyyyyy it was perfect. In order of my favorites: 10/10 the spare ribs. Little sticky 1-2inch amazing bone in ribs. Definitely get a large order and they're still amazing heated up the next day. 10/10 the bbq red pork. Deep flavor and so tender and juicy wish I would have gotten a large of this. 10/10 chow mein veggie tray. Huge portion that fed two people for days and I love the thick chewy noodles with great flavor and fresh veggies versus dry skinny Panda Express noodles. 9/10 broccoli beef and cream cheese wontons. Nothing too crazy just executed exactly as you expect 8.5/10 tangerine chicken. It's gotta be on the plate and it's super decent. But no one can compete with Panda Express for this one IMO. would still get again. Overall, fast hot delivery with amazing portions for the price. My wife and I ate like kings for at least two days delivered with doordash for about $60. Don't be scared of the other reviews, this is the spot to order if you want to sit down on the couch with chopsticks and a ton of Chinese containers filled with flavor bombs. I would get at least a medium size....the small containers were a little bit small but perfect for two people trying out the whole menu read more

First visit - walked in on a Saturday afternoon We stopped in after doing some back-to-school shopping nearby. Totally spur-of-the-moment decision, and honestly? Pretty happy we did. We ordered a few combo plates--rice, chow mein, a mix of meats like spicy chicken and beef & broccoli. Everything tasted fresh and was hot off the grill. Rice was cooked just right, chow mein was flavorful without being greasy, and the meats were solid. Orange chicken especially had a nice balance--not overly sweet like some places. Big bonus: they gave us free sesame balls, which none of us had tried before. They were way better than expected--crispy outside, soft and chewy inside. That was a nice surprise. Service was quick and friendly. Nothing fancy, but we got what we needed without waiting around too long. Free sesame balls bumped the experience up a notch too. Only downside: the seating isn't the most comfortable--it's wooden, and if you're in shorts, your skin might stick when you're getting up after sitting for long. We also noticed spiderwebs under the table, which wasn't a dealbreaker for us, but definitely something they should clean up. All in all, good food, quick service, and a chill spot to take a break. We'd come back, probably more for takeout unless they tighten up on the cleaning. Solid 4/5. Great food, just needs a little polish inside for dine in. read more

This plate is extremely small and they make it look like you are getting a lot of food when you aren't. They charged a convenience fee for what?? The soda machine doesn't work. The beef is thin and the broccoli is think. read more

Royal Panda - 2 item combo - Chinese Near Me - San Dimas, California

I go when they open. Buffet style served by employees so you don't have to worry about dirty hands touching the serving tools. Super hot and fresh and they let you sample every dish to ensure your happiness. They stuff the to-go box so you can never complain about leaving hungry. My go to dishes are the teriyaki chicken with sauce on the side and mushroom chicken. I also enjoy the green bean chicken. you can get rice noodles or chow mein and tasty fried or white rice. Friendly helpful servers and tasty food. Only advice: They need a shoji screen in front of the employee table and extra drink storage in the corner to hide this unsightly area. read more

I had lunch plans with a co-worker the other day. She picked Royal Panda. Funny, the biz name is Royal Panda, but its sign says Chinese Food with a tiny Royal Panda on the side. Well, I guess it's important to emphasize what they are selling. It makes sense. They were not too busy at the time. We were greeted right away. They offer 1, 2, and 3 items plates at various prices. Selection of foods was good. Some items were spicy. My friend got 2 items. I got 3 items... teriyaki chicken, black pepper chicken, spicy fish filet... with half white rice and half noodles. Wow, I was impressed with the flavors and taste for a Chinese fast food restaurant. Quite tasty! Portions were huge! Staff was friendly and nice. They spoke Cantonese amongst one another. I know because I understood what they were saying LOL. Their English was decent so no worries... if anything, just point at the items. We did dine-in for about 30+ mins. It was a nice and yummy visit! I would come back here to try their other food items. read more

I had a hair-ible experience. This is my favorite local Chinese food spot always has been since growing up. Today I noticed a string of hair tangled into my teriyaki chicken. This is a rare occurrence but this is unacceptable. I would love this comment to be taken into consideration for future long hair employees to be more cautious. Thank you read more

This place is such a gem on a day I'm too exhausted to cook! The prices are wonderful for the portions they give. There's always hot fresh food when I go and quick service. Servers are always polite and joyful. I always have to get some wontons when I'm here. This is a combo B, with 1/2 fried rice and chow mein with two entrees. I tried the black pepper chicken super yummy with the bell peppers and veggies and the classic broccoli w beef. You will get your moneys worth and more. read more

I really liked this quick and easy to find Chinese take out spot after work and on my way home. I ordered the 2 item combo for under $11 and a wor wonton soup perfect for the rainy weather. I loved the noodles and spicy pork! Service was friendly- no complaints. I will return soon! Cheap, quick, and on my way home from work. read more

3 Star is the perfect rating for this place. They give you a lot of food for a small price. That gets them 3 stars. But the food itself is basic, bland, and they clearly skimp on the quality/quantity of their ingredients: bbq pork has A LOT of fat, tiny pieces of chicken in the orange chicken, almost no veggies in rice/noodles). If you need a lot of food for not a lot of money, this is the place read more

One of my go to Chinese fast food places for years. Staff has always been friendly, if you come at their peak hours food is super fresh.

I was waiting in line and one of the ladies helping the girl in front of me sneezed while getting her food. Will never be going back.

I came in for food was ready to step out with my order and asked May for specific condiments and he refused to help walked away and continued his own thing totally awkward when I was asking the girls for his name the pretended to not understand what i was saying all of a suddenly when previously they took a whole order in English! Not cool not professional clients come first don't just ignore people when asking for help. Not coming here again also cuatomer serve previously was also horrible. This is what unfortunately happens when u mistreat clients. If u do t want a bad review be respectful it's common sense read more

Best bang for the buck in Chinese food. Nice portions and large variety plus cost friendly. The staff is courteous and friendly.

People are rude. They want to find any excuse to charge more. I asked if they can separate one of the spicy meats into a separate plate because I was sharing with my 2 year old and instead they wanted to charge me more just to separate the meats. I wasn't asking for more but just a separate plate due to the spicy meats. When I questioned she had attitude and said sorry that's the way it is. So I said forget it and she said ok bye don't take it. read more

All food and service were Amazing... been looking for this Chinese cusine!!! You will not regret eating here and will defintely return!!!

This will FOREVER be my favorite restaurant - thank you guys for you amazing food & service over the years! This place serves XL portions read more

Food was so delicious. Very healthy portions. Definitely one of the best Chinese food spots I've eaten in a while. 9 out of 10 and that's only because o haven't had other dishes...YET. read more

Food 7/10 Noodles are bland and it has no veggies just plain. Fried rice was also pretty bland. The entrees look really good and the spicy string bean chicken definitely hit. The workers are very nice! The eating area is kind of neglected with dirty floors and tables. Overall good value for the price! read more

Royal Panda - Green bean chicken - Chinese Near Me - San Dimas, California

This is my favorite fast food Chinese place. Always people in line and everything is always freshly made. Yummy!

TERRIBLE!!! Dirty establishment, RUDE employees, and gross food. I came in on Thursday night at 8:15 and ask them what time they closed. They told me that they closed at 8:15 so I walked out and I went to the donut shop next-door with my family. About 20 minutes later, we walked back out and they were still serving more customers. This should've been my first red flag, although, I really wanted to try it so I came back the next day. The employees literally yelled at me when we asked for salt. She raised her voice and said "no salt!!!"... my kids like salt on their steamed rice. They were SO MEAN!!! we moved a table over to fit my whole family together and one of the employees came out and yelled at the top of her lungs "hey hey hey you can't put that there!!!" ... absolutely no manners at all. Now let's get to the food, the tangerine chicken was soggy and nearly flavorless! The broccoli and beef, the broccoli was fine, but the beef was mushy and questionable. Even if the food was good, I would never go back just because of their hospitality... so undeserving of my business. read more

Cheap food and quick service. I've had the food here a few times already but I've always gotten take out so I can't comment for the dine in experience, but the place looks clean enough to sit down for lunch or something. A combo costs $9.69 and they give you A LOT of food. They really pack it in the styrofoam box so it looks like it can barely close. The food is pretty good here too, it's takeout Chinese. So don't expect anything mind blowing, it tastes like you think it will, but it's not overly salty or greasy. Overall, decent food for when you're getting the craving for Chinese takeout. read more

Food disappointed and got family sick. Orange chicken tasted disgusting like a wet moldy rag and noodles tasted like they were reheated in micro. For the most part they taste decent but not today. read more

Recently ate here thinking I should support a local business, but how could I when the food is really bad? I got: 1. Chow mein 2. White rice 3. Tangerine Chicken 4. Kungpao chicken 5. Bbq pork Literally everything was DRY. Both chickens were super hard to bite into and DRY. The chicken on both, especially the Tangerine chicken was just breading!! Hardly any chicken!! Bbq pork tasted off and old!!! Very fatty which I don't mind but it was also just dry. Rice was hard and noodles had legit no flavor to them. Never coming back again. I guess people like this place because they pack you plate to the brim, but it's not worth it when it isn't even edible. ***adding on*** Some people are making comments that you can look at the food, obviously right? The chicken and other meats I got sure did look juicy, plump, and healthy looking pieces of meat. How can you tell that's there's going to be no meat and assume half of the size is breading? How can you assume that the meat is going to be dry when you can't tell unless you eat it? read more

She and I came here on April 25, 2023. The food is really greasy. We ordered: 2 combos $18.64 4 egg rolls $3.40 Total: $22.04 Plus tax: $2.09 Convenience fee (3.5%) $0.77 New total $24.90. I am not sure what is a "convenience fee"? a fee for walking in and being an inconvenience? Quantity: a lot Price: Good Taste: Poor The parking is shared with all the local businesses within the shopping center, such as IHOP, a gas station that is adjacent, etc. Depending on the time of day, it may or may not be hard to find parking. Moreover, the food was not great, and we did not finish it and ended up throwing it away. We won't be coming back. read more

My family and I favorite Chinese food place ever! My family and I have been coming here for almost 20 years now and never been disappointed. It's so delicious and Chinese food is my favorite so I get excited when I have leftovers for lunch the next day. The employees pack a lot of food and it's worth the money. During the pandemic, the place held pretty strong. If you haven't already, give this place a try. My go to order here is, all chow mein, spicy green bean chicken (or broccoli beef), and orange chicken. read more

All food was cold. Offered to reheat in microwave. We had a party of 5 and none of liked any of our food. I DO Not recommend this restaurant!!!! read more

When you're starving and you just need something quick and not necessarily drive thru food. Stopped in at royal panda for quick eats. I had the rice noodle, shrimp veggies and spicy fried fish. The noodles really didn't have any flavor from what I can tell. The spicy sweet sauce took over so it wasn't horrible that the noodles were flavorless. The shrimp and veggies were fine. Shrimp tasted fresh and cabbage had a decent crunch. You get so much for less than $10. You can't really go wrong, unless something really makes you sick. read more

I've seen this place for years and decided to give them a shot for lunch. Their food is along the lines of Tasty Goodie, Panda Express......I did not opt for the noodles/rice as I saw some orders before me, and it looked to be all noodles/rice. I just selected 2 entrees (Shrimp/Vegetables & Pepper Chicken) and had more than enough food. The food tasted fine, nothing memorable....for $10 bucks, I got 2 meals. I wouldn't go out of my way to return, but if in the area and craving fast Chinese food I would return. read more

When I saw Raina stop by here I knew I had to stop by because I'm local. For less than $13 you get three item combo with chow mein or fried rice, portion was decent. I'll definitely be returning because there are no other real chinese fast food around! read more

Saw this place in a video who recommended it. Went today and very happy with it. Jenny was also very sweet as my server! Will definitely go again! Loved the food and portion size too! read more

The food here is horrible. I had chow mein, mushroom chicken and beef & green beans. No flavor whatsoever. My apologies for being honest - my honest. Let me explain...I am Asian and probably had no business coming here. Unfortunately, even Panda Express is 1000% tastier than the food served here. That said, it's your call. And to the couple who said it was good. SMH Try Upper House or Mama Lu's. Then you will know what flavorful Chinese food is suppose to taste like. It's out there. I do not recommend this spot. read more

What happened to this spot ? They used the have the best Chinese food ,now they serve crunchy hard tangerine chicken . Not worth it anymore read more
