We went after the lunch rush on Sunday and had a wonderful experience! Ashley, the manager, was extremely helpful in helping us decide on drinks as well as telling us about the backstory of their special spice blend. All of the food and drinks were really good! Personal favorite was the Korean corn dog. I loved the alternating cheese and sausage chunks as well as the Chinese mustard. I would highly recommend and will definitely be back. They deserve all the business

This restaurant was the cutest! Me and my best friend went, thought we should try something new. We had both been craving Asian food and this was the first restaurant it suggested. We had no clue what to do at first because we had never been in there, but the staff was so sweet! The guy at the counter asked us if we had ever been there before and we said no, it was our first time. He came around and showed us the QR scan menu’s that were on each table and said we could choose anywhere to sit. Let me tell you, the atmosphere was so comforting. I usually get really anxious in new places but I felt really cozy here. The playlist was awesome. The food we ordered was delicious, we tried all kinds of different things and the other staff, a sweet lady brought us some sauce that she suggested we try with one of the burgers- she was precious. This is by far my favorite restaurant that we’ve ever tried (and we have tried PLENTY) we are foodies, no doubt. Everything about Glass Panda was amazing and I would recommend to anyone in the area ❤️

Glass Panda offers a unique twist on flavors, and I thoroughly enjoyed the food! I had the Smashin Kimcheese burger and Pork Gyoza, both of which were delicious. The burger had a fantastic fusion of flavors with the kimchi and cheese, while the gyoza were well-prepared and flavorful. However, I was a bit disappointed by the lack of customer service—there weren’t many servers, and it felt like they could be more attentive. Despite that, the food quality was excellent, and I’d still recommend Glass Panda if you’re in the mood for something a bit different!

We happened upon this place and we are glad we did. The food was fresh and tasty. The staff were helpful and pleasant. The atmosphere was clean and inviting. I had the chicken sandwich which was fire. My wife enjoyed her teriyaki chicken. The smash burgers were great as well.

We were excited to check out Glass Panda after their soft open and they certainly didn’t disappoint! The sliders had a unique kimchi zing and the mac & cheese was so smoky and delicious! The staff were all so friendly and all exceeded expectations! They’ve got an impressive sake selection and the boba cocktails are fun too. We’ll definitely be back!

It’s not just good—it’s amazing!
That Korean corn dog is unforgettable! I already know I’ll be craving it forever—the batter was so light and crispy, and that cheese pull was absolute perfection. The shrimp tempura? Spot on, especially with that sauce.
The bao buns were like fluffy clouds, packed with flavorful kimchi and bulgogi. And the glass noodle dish? A perfect balance of sweet and savory, with just the right amount of spice.

Absolutely blown away by this spot! The Korean corn dog was a total game-changer—crispy, cheesy, and downright addictive. The tempura shrimp, perfectly crunchy and paired with an incredible sauce.
I went for the tonkatsu ramen, and it was the best kind of paradox—subtle yet bold, rich yet delicate. And don’t even get me started on the bulgogi bao… insanely good, especially with that punchy kimchi.
This is the kind of place made for sharing, so grab some friends, order a little of everything, and taste your way through the menu!

The food was good. The service was great. I believe Angie was our server Spoke with the owner for a few minutes. He is a friendly guy.
Nice ambiance.
My wife loved the KFC. She said Colonel Sanders is in trouble. I loved the Asian Chicken Sandwich. The chips are average. They made need to go with french fries or bagged chips for a better experience.
My youngest daughter liked the Kimcheese burger.
The K-Dog was a very good appetizer we shared it as a family. We got it Hot Cheeto Style.
The milk teas and fruit teas we tried were good! (Sweetheart Sipper & Sparkling Pink Lemonade)

Where to start…. I first visited Glass Panda several weeks ago during the soft opening. I never received my food after over an hour of waiting and several claims by the owner that “they’re finishing it up now” only to finally be told that they couldn’t make what I had ordered and issued me a refund. I promised that I would not write a harsh review without trying it out again, which I did tonight.
And after my second attempt at ordering takeout from here, I have determined this place definitely deserves a 1 star review. My husband arrived to pick up our food at 7:33 which was also when I received a text that the food was ready. 45 minutes later he finally received the food and drove it 2 minutes home. We opened up the food and immediately noticed the bao buns were cold. Not lukewarm, cold. They also did not have the slaw or pickle on them that was advertised, just a dry piece of meat and one random piece of lettuce. They were not good. We then tried the 2 different ramens we ordered which were bland and tasteless. The noodles were mushy and stuck together. There was no flavor to the broth at all. Just bland chicken broth with a boiled piece of meat in it and mushy noodles. We paid $66 for our food and we were hungry after because we couldn’t bring ourselves to finish any of it.

It’s our first time to try Glass Panda and we like it! The egg rolls were unique and delicious, it’s different from other egg rolls we’ve tried. Not in the picture was their KFC Korean fried chicken, my husband enjoyed its crunch and taste. Service was fast and good, great ambience and clean surroundings. We’ll definitely be back
