Panda Kitchen Carson City

UPDATE: The food is still great here, you just really have to know what to order. Some of the basically fast food American items will not be the greatest, like the sweet and sour anything or any basically deep fried meat nugget covered in sweet sauce. One thing I tried that was NOT GOOD, was the Pad Thai .... nowhere near quality of taste of a Thai restaurant. Lesson: Don't order Thai food when you are not at a Thai restaurant! The other stuff I have pics of are good. ... and NO there is no Vietnamese food here at all! Panda Kitchen has been around for decades and has a new owner now. Sushi is available if you like, but I love the Chinese food here. They are open for indoor dining for now with distanced tables and masked staff. They have the usual lunch specials here such as generals chicken, broccoli beef and kung pow chicken. But what really is good here are some of the ala carte dishes, like the egg foo young, fried chicken wings, and all the fried noodles thay have. They even have chicken lettuce wraps, just like PF Chang's, but BETTER! I'll tell you what, I;ve had egg foo young at other Chinese places, but this version here is like no other! Instead of just some egg patty with gravy on top, Panda kitchen serves it as one huge plate with the egg patty on the bottom and topped with all kinds of meats and veggies with a delicious sauce, just look at the pics! I was very surprised with the food here as Panda Kitchen was not my usual Chinese eatery of choice, but my fave is only take out now, so here I am having a nice safe dine in experience. The food here is way better than expected.

Great food for great value. Paid around $10-20 for a full meal with large portions. Service was quick and friendly, and the food is always delicious and consistent. This place is a staple.
