We were in the area shopping at Target and Super Saver and decided to try this hole in the wall restaurant right between the two. What a unique experience! It appears to be a husband/wife combo working, they take your order and cook it right there in the open kitchen. The Beef Bulgogi and Cashew Chicken with Egg Drop Soup was so good! While I would definitely eat the same food again I would probably try something different on my next visit just to trying something new.
My wife being a plant lover was super delighted to see all the plants in the restaurant that are for sale.
This is truly a whole in the wall place with really good food. If the dining room is empty when you walk in, don’t let it deter you. Just order your food and enjoy, you won’t be disappointed.

I went to Panda Garden twice during my trip to Lincoln.
My wife and I ordered Korean food with Jajangmyeon and Bulgogi on the first visit and picked up Chinese food with Monglian Beef on the second one. Both foods are so delicious. Especially, Korean food includes the Kimchi bar which you can take many Kimchi ingredients at the bar. It is good menu if you are appetite.
Chinese food does not include the Kimchi bar but the price is cheaper and so reasonable.
When I visited there last about 20 years ago, there were different menu. So, I noticed the owner must be changed but the foods are still delicious which is good for me.

I wish I could give this place more than 5 stars. We tried it for the first time today and it was delicious! I asked the owner for a recommendation and he suggested the bimbap. It was wonderful! Would strongly recommend this place.

You always find the best food in a strip mall and Panda Garden is proof.
I’ve tried a lot of things on their menu but have to call the sesame chicken my fav. It’s loaded with a lot of veggies and of course yummy chicken.
The portions are right sized to eat, so no wasted food. You’re not getting 1.5lbs of food
Inside is very welcoming with tons of plants, some of them are for sale. I got a huge snake plant for $20

A Culinary Journey Through Flavorful Delights at Panda Garden Korean Cuisine. I recently had the pleasure of dining at Panda Garden Korean Cuisine, and it was an experience that left me utterly delighted. From the moment I stepped through the door, the warm and inviting ambiance set the stage for what turned out to be an extraordinary culinary journey. You wouldn’t believe you were in a food establishment. I thought I was in a enchanted forest from the center wall created with six foot pothos species aligned perfectly to the ceiling and two additional walls of tropical plants that were very attractive and available for purchase. The menu boasted an impressive array of Korean dishes, each thoughtfully crafted and prepared with utmost precision.
To start, we indulged in an appetizer Crab Rangoon’s which is my appetizer of choice. Crab Rangoon’s are one of those foods I must have when I go to any Asian Restaurant and they’re always slightly different. I’m happy to announce that Panda Garden Korean Cuisine gets my rank of ‘Best Crab Rangoon’s’ in the United States! The explosion of flavors in each bite was a testament to the chef’s dedication to authenticity and quality ingredients.
In conclusion, Panda Garden Korean Cuisine surpassed all expectations, delivering a memorable dining experience that will undoubtedly beckon me back for more. The combination of exceptional food, attentive family business owners, and a welcoming atmosphere makes it a standout in the realm of Korean cuisine. If you’re seeking an authentic and delightful culinary adventure, Panda Garden Korean Cuisine is a must-visit destination.

I was seeking an authentic Korean spot here in Lincoln. And I found it here at Panda Garden. It’s a peaceful spot. And the food is made fresh in the kitchen as you order. I was impressed with the hot and sour soup. The entrees were delicious. And I liked the little buffet by the drink stand that you get included with a Korean menu purchase. If you bring cash you’ll save %4 off the order, versus a card payment. Not a big deal to me! I will be back to this spot and try some spicer entrees next! Check this little place out, you won’t be disappointed.

I use to LOVE coming to Panda Garden. After Korea House closed, it’s one of the few places here in Lincoln that I could order Korean Food. My most favorite meal being the Korean Short Ribs, served with white rice & Korean side dishes (typically Kimchi, seaweed salad, etc.) My last visit 4 visits have been disappointing. When the husband of the eatery is cooking, the food is hot, seasoned & usually very good. He always gives a decent amount of side dishes, along with the main dish. I’ve attached photos of the amount of Kimchi I received after paying $17 for my short rib meal. The wife of the shop is so stingy when it comes to giving side dishes out, and her cooking is always rushed with poor quality. There was no “juice” or “sauce” on my short ribs, just dry, bland meat. I paid $17 for my meal and she piled my side dish container with some sort of spicy potatoes, mixed with jalapeños? I went looking for my kimchi, the best pairing with short ribs & rice. The amount I received with my $17 is ridiculous. I suppose that I should’ve paid an extra $2 to receive a decent amount. I understand times are tough, and I don’t mind paying up for a good meal. Kimchi is relatively inexpensive to make, there is no excuse not to provide customers with an amount that reflects the price of the “meal” that doesn’t even include a drink.
