Standard Chinese meals round out the menu at this compact, family-owned eatery with a low-key vibe.

I am visiting from out-of-town with family. This place has the best Chicago-style Chinese food I’ve had in the last thirty years. We loved everything! Beef Broccoli, Pepper Steak, Egg Foo Yung, Crab Rangoon, Hot Sour soup, Egg Drop soup, etc. Even the fortune cookies were better than anything we can get in Utah. There really isn’t a dine-in, but you are missing out if you skip this gem with either pick-up or delivery. The extra bonus sesame balls were the top prize.

I come here once a week because it’s the closest to good Chicago Chinese food that we can get. But going there in Christmas Eve, didn’t realize everyone and their mother was going there too. Their parking lot sucks for busy hours but they make up for it by including a little extra free desert. Can’t be mad at that. Plus, with the huge crowd they had on Christmas Eve , my beef and broccoli tasted amazing still. Good quality beef and not mushy broccoli. Tried their lo-mein for the first time tonight and it was okay at best.. hardly any veggies or meat. All noodles but the sauce was pretty good. Love their chicken in a stick as well!! Overall good place and will keep returning every week

We recently moved to the area and have been searching for good Chinese food. We’ve eaten at multiple places, but they all felt like they were missing something. We randomly stopped by this place, because it was kind of early (10:30 am) and they were open. SO happy we did. The customer service was great, and the food was amazing – best sesame chicken I’ve had in a very long time, maybe ever. My husband and I got 2 lunch specials and an order of dumplings, and it was $30 for SO MUCH food. We found our new go-to place

First time customer. Stopped by after church. The customer service is helpful. The food was prepared fast. Tastes wonderful.
I noticed various people who called in an order were promptly greeted and provided their orders when they stopped in for their food.
There’s a few places to sit. Nothing fancy. Given the small size of the restaurant imagine most business is to go on Saturday evenings.
They’re opened Christmas and New Years. Closed on Tuesday’s per the menu.
I will definitely return.

I ordered takeout tonight and was seriously impressed! I called in my order for sweet-and-sour chicken, crab Rangoon, and dumplings. The service was fast, and pickup was super easy. When I got home and tried the food, it was absolutely delicious — truly the best I’ve had in town.
On top of that, they even included complimentary cookies, which was such a nice surprise. Highly recommend this place for great food and great service!

This, by far, is the best Chinese food I have ever had. The food came out piping hot, it’s was fresh the portion size for the price was spot on. Their egg rolls, fried won tons, dumplings, apperziers are the best in town. The main dishes are very filling, and they came out very hot, temperature hot, and simply delicious. The Chinese donuts melt in your mouth, and if you want a great dessert, i encourage you to visit them to encounter this little piece of heaven. The pictures don’t give their food any justice. If you don’t know what you want for dinner, go to Panda Lin for a great dining experience.

Staying in Cedar Rapids for the weekend and my boyfriend and I were looking for a good place to pickup some dinner. Saw this place and could not be happier we tried it out! Love to support a family-owned small business and the food was great! All was hot and delicious! They even gave me a call when my food was ready for pickup. Reasonably priced and gave almond cookies with the takeout! Highly recommend!

On this day I ordered pepper steak and general taso chicken. The general Taos chicken was riddled with bones so much so that my husband LOST PIECE OF HIS TOOTH i did go back to the restaurant where I received a refund for the meal and a replacement meal. Staff did state that their supplier will have some soft bones or cartilage in the meat and they do their best to process it out….

I am a regular at Panda Lin and have tried multiple other Chinese restaurants.
However, none come close to the taste and quality that Panda Lin provides
They have amazing customer service, and they are pretty efficient as well.
“Exxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxtra spicy!”
Is what I normally tell them, chef even told me, he would add some extra hot spices to try something new!
10/10
Anytime the family or friend get together and we want Chinese Panda LIn is the one and only choice!
