Panda China Garden

China Panda Garden is a small Mandarin/Szechuan restaurant run by a husband and wife team.  Reminds me of my favorite neighborhood Chinese restaurant Shanghai Cafe.

Won ton strips were crunchy and had a delicious fresh fried flavor.

Wor wonton soup had bbq pork, shrimp and chicken along with snow peas, napa cabbage, and carrots.  Bbq pork was tender and had a 5 spice powder based flavor.  Shrimp had a nice snap and light shrimp flavor.  Chicken was tender, dry, and did not have much flavor.

Won tons had a pork filling and had a nice white pepper flavor.  Pretty good dish which made for a good size lunch.

Fried chicken wings had really crunchy batter.  I was a bit worried seeing a few blackened spots.  Wings were a bit dry.  Flavor was good with lots of salty flavor from the batter and a little bit of sweetness.

Bbq pork lo mein had lots of bbq pork.  Bbq pork had a tasty 5 spice powder flavor.  The pieces were sliced thin and well done.  I liked the soy sauce they used to season this dish.  Noodles had a nice mild flavor that reminded me of Quon Yick Chinese style dry noodles my mom bought.  Pretty good dish.

Service was fast and friendly.
