Panda Chinese Food - Hawthorne

A traveler handed us the takeout menu for Panda King, and my family decided it was the ideal option for dinner since our budget hotel lacks a restaurant. Noticing the absence of Chinese characters on the menu and their warm response to us, it seemed they don’t get many Chinese customers. We called for delivery to our room, and a lovely lady arrived with our order in under 30 minutes. We chose three dishes, all of which were delicious. The won ton soup featured carrots and shrimp but no noodles, while the fried rice was packed with beef, shrimp, chicken, and pork. The chow mein was similar, loaded with plenty of meat and vegetables. The portion sizes were generous. For anyone who complains about poor service, I recommend being courteous, especially when speaking over the phone. Being clear about your order and avoiding complaints also helps. And it wouldn’t hurt to learn a bit of Chinese, whether Mandarin or Cantonese!

This freshly prepared Chinese food is the best I’ve had in a long time. The Beef Broccoli was incredible—the broccoli was steamed to perfection, and the seasoned beef was tender, moist, and flavorful. The Shrimp Fried Rice was bursting with juicy shrimp; I felt like I had a shrimp in nearly every bite. Absolutely delicious! The portions are generous and the prices are quite reasonable.

I've been ordering from them for several years, and I've always been pleased with the food. They make an amazing tofu dish in brown sauce topped with chopped green onions that is unbeatable!
