Panda Chinese Restaurant

I moved to Bluffton 1 year ago from Southern California. My life had been filled with many amazing times in the Chinatown district of Los Angeles. We would go to Hop Louies .. a location used for many movie sets on a regular basis. It was a family tradition. Jasmine tea, egg foo young, and pork fried rice. I have been looking for a Chinese restaurant since we moved here that served a good egg foo young. There were some ok experiences, but tonight - oh tonight! Panda was clean and had soft, sweet music playing.. the smells were amazing, and the service was professional and courteous. I have driven past it many times. Tonight, we stopped in. A variety of Egg Foo Young on the menu! I ordered Chicken Egg Foo Young! Husband ordered Orange Beef. We ordered pork fried rice, and white rice came with the entrees. My order was perfect. Crispy around the edges, freshly made with chicken and vegetables in a wonderful large patty. 3 large patties with brown gravy to the order. The Orange Beef was great, according to Husband. Pork fried rice was incredible, but I've found my Egg Foo Young! I'll sample other types and other items , but honestly? This is it for me. I miss a lot from California, but the beauty and family we have here far outweigh my "other home." I have kids here and will take them to Panda to create memories for them here and tell them stories of wild nights in Hollywood and late suppers at Hop Louies. I'll also tell them that Panda's Egg Foo Young shines bright. I'm so glad we stopped in. Thank you, Panda!

One word I would use to describe my food was clean tasting ... like, it was all super fresh and healthy food where you tasted flavors and the natural textures were there. They didn’t try to over fry / oil / fatten the food to make it better, so it felt like the real food rather than what food critics call an Americanized version. The spring rolls were the perfect crunchiness and suppleness and did not fall apart, and were perfectly sized and rolled. The vegetable and bean curd soup has a flavorful, pleasant broth, the bean curd (tofu) and vegetables are perfectly cooked, and the soup warms and fills you but makes you feel brighter and fed rather than heavy and weighed down. Even the fried noodles they give you on the side were fresh, light and not over done. I will definitely be returning!

So everyone knows Chinese in the area is pretty rough. I actually really enjoy the kung pao chicken here. Likes it's really good. The guy always running the counter and answering the phone is super nice and the restroom was very clean

Really enjoyed their food. The portions are good. Egg rolls are great. Ordered Roast Pork with Mushrooms, really good. My wife ordered Boneless Spare Ribs.

Very clean, great value, I think it depends on what you order. Believe it or not the chicken wings are outstanding, the other day I got the egg foo young with pork and it comes with what they call pancakes, it was a huge portion and I will probably get five meals out of it for about 11 bucks, thought the quality was outstanding
