Delicious Chinese food, with great service and ambiance. We got the Panda Beef and the upside down noodles with chicken and shrimp. I also added a cup of egg- drop soup. They’re always consistent with their flavors and service. Highly recommended. 5 stars Reservations highly recommended, or else you’d either wait or sit at the bar like we did.

Went out for a nice meal and Lincoln was our waiter. He was very kind and attentive to my little guest, which I truly appreciated. We ordered broth soup with white rice for him, and I had the Chicken with Garlic Sauce — it was so yummy, I ate every bite! The food was great, and when you pair good food with excellent service, it makes you want to come back. Thank you, Lincoln, and the entire staff at Panda!

Flew in from Las Vegas for the day with my son for an appointment next door, and we decided to have lunch here. We ordered a few appetizers (Hot & Sour Soup, Edamame, Mu Shu, Mussels, Lettuce Wraps, Lobster & Shrimp Won Ton) to share, and my son had the Panda Inn Special. The service was amazing — very attentive and friendly. The food was great and perfect for sharing. A bit on the salty side for my taste, but my son absolutely loved it. Some of my photos may show the dishes after we had already started eating! We sat outside and enjoyed the beautiful weather — the patio area was lovely. Overall, a very nice restaurant and a great dining experience. I would definitely recommend this place if you’re looking for some good Asian cuisine.

We visited Panda Inn in Pasadena for the first time, and our experience was incredible. Our server, Joana, was absolutely amazing — she took the time to share the history of Panda Inn with us, which made the visit even more special for first-timers. Her service was warm, attentive, and truly memorable.
And the food… WOW! Honestly the best Chinese food we’ve ever had. Everything was delicious, but special shout-outs to the Wagyu Chow Mein, Lobster Wonton, and Tuna Crispy Rice — absolutely outstanding!
We left extremely satisfied and can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend!

First time visit, a fan of Panda Express and wanted to try the elevated version. The service was excellent, and the ambiance, however felt food was just ok. Ordered the lunch special, honey walnut shrimp $22, orange chicken $18, beef & broccoli $18 comes with egg roll, rice, and soup (egg drop, hot & sour), Requires reservations and no guarantees for booth seating will be a round table instead, outside or bar seating is available.

Delicious!!! Definitely recommend making a reservation. We had a friday night res, but still took and additional 30 mins to get seated. Food was yummy and like an elevated panda express. Beautiful, clean and massive restaurant

Had a good time with friends. Food was good. We celebrated a friend’s birthday. Got a little push back from the manager when I wouldn’t let them take my credit card out of my sight. I will go back again.

A renewed pasadena classic. I hadn’t been in ages. It was good then, but great now. The atmosphere is as good as the food. Most large restaurant spaces this style are noisy and crowded. This has been perfectly designed so that it feels comfortable and inviting. The service is spot on with such attentive staff. The family that brought us Panda Express really honor their commitment to quality food and tradition. I’ll be coming back more often.

Panda Inn Pasadena has been completely transformed after the restaurant was rebuilt from the ground up. The refreshed location has a beautiful interior that tells the story of the family behind Panda Express. Panda Inn has familiar dishes like Orange Chicken and Beef & Broccoli but with extra flavor you’d expect from a full sit down restaurant. Restaurant features a bar for drinks, a Japanese sushi bar with limited sushi selection, along with indoor and outdoor seating. Service could be improved as on a Saturday night the staff all seemed frantic and you had to flag down waiters as they weren’t able to check on their tables. The dinner menu is family style that is good to share for 2-3 people if you order a few dishes to share. The lunch menu is suited for individuals with a main entree and soup. Panda built a 4 story parking structure behind the building so bring your parking ticket inside to validate for 3 hours free.

Beautiful restaurant with good food and the most amazing service! Bin was our server and gave me the princess treatment on my birthday! 10/10 drinks made at the beautiful bar inside. I had the lychee martini and yuzu drop martini. Delicious and unique drinks! Must try!
