Panda Wok Restaurant

Every town has one of these places. Some are good, great, or just okay. Panda Wok is, well, Panda Wok. Prices are good, food is good, servers are good, and the bar is good. I mean, what more can you ask for? I am giving it a 4 bc it stands out among the Chinese food restaurants in and around my area. There are over 6 Chinese restaurants similar to this one that I frequent. The only other one I rate higher is Asian Imperial, Lunenburg. I will say this, Panda Wok makes REAL Mai Tai’s where Asian Imperial’s are some fruity version of something totally different than what a Mai Tai should be.

I ordered a plum wine and it was disgusting– tasted like syrup and anything but wine. They refused to take it back and off the bill since it was «too expensive.» So I ordered another glass of wine and they charged for both. They also forgot about some of the food we ordered and the last two dishes didn’t come out until we were almost done with our meal.

I was here for lunch, yes I’m still here :-) … it was good I had an J23 alaskan roll and L23 kung pao chicken and shrimp. Everything seemed fresh and prepared well. I was here a few years ago and I was not impressed. but I’m glad I gave it another try. As another reviewer mentioned not as good as Bamboo in Westford but a lot better than Yansee River in Littleton…
Glad I gave it another try. I will return to try their Sashimi, that will be their true test and will write another review on the quality and freshness of their sashimi :-) The true test in my book :-)

Sitting at the bar is your best bet. Ivy is a great and attentive bar tender, drinks and service are usually better at the bar. Sushi is delicious and always fresh. My boyfriend and I go here on the regular, mainly sticking to sushi and the hot wings which are amazing! Soups, appetizers and Peking duck are our go to other than sushi.

It’s American Chinese food. Don’t expect the world, but it is absolutely passable. Since there’s a dearth of Chinese food in the area this place will do. Full bar, good drinks.

Terrible food was bland and old. Everything was all dried up like it had been reheated several times. A total disappointment.

One of the better chinese restaurants in the area. My son loves the white rice and chicken fingers. I did try the white fish (sushi) and it was fresh and very good… although I think the rolls need to be a bit smaller as I prefer bite size and its too large for that.

Good food if a little bland. Sushi isn’t bad, but sometimes the pieces are smaller than they should be.
Dining area is clean and modern. Not bad given the local options.

Came back to edit this reveiw (⁴⁄₁₄). The little bar is better than the restaurant. All the staff is a bit stand-​offish. The mai-​tais used to earn a rave review but after some staff turnover, they’ve slipped a peg. Nice TV’s, good place to see a game if you can get one of the 8 or 10 seats at the bar.
I frequent on weekends and rarely see anyone eating inside, they seem to live on take out. Décor is Asian of course, but non-​descript and very plain. Well lit, not too dark like some places. The food is decent, nobody’s sorry, but nobody says wow either. Good hot n sour soup and I know my H&S. They rarely make mistakes in a take out order, I’ve had only one after many visits. Take out is well packaged and stays hot on the ride home. Definitely not somewhere to avoid or drive a long distance to try.

This place hasgone down hill so much and the owner/​manager doesn’t seem to care. He was even on his cell phone while seating customers.

I went back! (It’s on my way to work sometimes, it’s super convenient, damn it.)
I had a salmon roll, and I am happy to report that the quality of the fish was much better this time. Maybe I just went on an off day. The sushi chef is very friendly and helpful. And my entrée this time had a great flavor. Not «oh my god this is the best food I’ve ever eaten» great, but certainly «Oh man I need to update my review on Unilocal!» good.

Not fresh, loaded with msg. The one in New Hampshire is much better.
What a difference a good cook makes!

We had been going to Panda since they opened back when we were across the street in high school.
Up until about 2 years ago I had zero complaints about this place and had given it 5 stars. Sadly their food AND service quality have gone downhill quite a bit. Help changes frequently and the food has gotten very, very bland with most vegetables and such pulled out of basic things (like pork fried rice being… just rice)
Atmospherically the place is great… clean, nice soft music (though sometimes quite random!), clean bathrooms, easy parking, etc.
Though I’m not a sushi guy I definitely recommend trying it has always looked amazing when my friends order it!
And their drinks… wow. If there’s something Panda is known for this is it!
Prices are average I suppose. Couple entrées and a pair of drinks runs around $ 35 or so before tip.

Disappointing meal. Everything was bland, like it was missing some key ingredients.
We ordered takeout as we typically do. We did our usual litmus test of the standard appetizers, peking dumplings, an order of General Gau’s and some una-​avo maki.
Combination plates were somewhat generous with the appetizers but light on the rice and entrée. Everything was lacking flavor, and wasn’t very enjoyable. The peking dumplings were pretty good, with the chicken wings probably being the best of the bunch, though that’s not saying much. General Gau’s wasn’t terrible, but I’ve had much better elsewhere. My una-​avo maki was pretty good, but had a very slight off-​flavor to it. I couldn’t quite put my finger on it.
Prices are a bit higher here than other Chinese restaurants in the area, and the sushi menu seemed rather expensive as well. Service was very pleasant, though, and the interior of the restaurant was rather nice. Though now I’m not surprised why the place was completely empty on a Saturday night.
With better options in the area, we will not be rushing back anytime soon.

Good chinese food, not my absolute favorite in the whole area but I always enjoy it. Great General Gao’s chicken.
