SILVER LAKE RESTAURANT REVIEWS

The food was pretty good, and the egg rolls were exceptionally well. Would definitely recommend coming for lunch when it's less busy. Decor was quite good, too. The tables were well cleaned. The wait staff is quick to take orders, keep drinks full, and remove empty plates in a timely fashion. Overall experience definitely deserves five stars.

Food was great and service very friendly. LOVED the crab rangoons! The sweet sauce served with them was very good, and the hot mustard was actually hot. Bubble tea was delicious and drinks were strong. We will definitely come back.

Fantastic service! Very positive atmosphere, and amazing food! Restaurant is clean and pleasant to dine in. Definitely will be coming back.

GEE N JAYS REVIEWS

First time here and won't be the last! Pleasant, and friendly service, welcoming in today's hurry up world! Food was outstanding especially the fried rice and shrimp and fried rice and chicken combo. Was looking for a good Chinese restaurant. They have my vote, stop by and order, you won't be disappointed!!!

Frequenter of Chinese restaurants. This one is the best in the area. My go to is the Mongolian BBQ pork. Never wait longer then thirty minutes when ordering online. If you're looking for Chinese, this is it.

This is the best Chinese food around town. The combination rice is the best ever. The BBQ pork is always good. Everything on the menu is good. Thanks for being in existence.

LITTLE PANDA CHINESE RESTAURANT REVIEWS

Wonderful place. My sister introduced me to this place instead of going to big-chain restaurants. We order here now, affordable, good size portions, and always a nice and clear process when ordering and picking up. Highly recommend. Great place to eat!

We’ve been getting Little Panda for years and it is always our favorite despite trying others. General Tsos, Singapore Noodles, and Mongolian Delight are our go-tos. Recently love the Lo Mein noodles too.

The food here is amazing! We've catered from here a few times and it's never disappointing. Fresh and quality food done right all the time. The lunch specials are a great value!!
