I have always said that there is a place in life for good bad Chinese food . In this usage, good bad Chinese food refers to a type of Chinese food that is not 5-star restaurant level fanciness, or necessarily the most authentic to traditional cuisine, but packs a great taste and great value. Unfortunately, my visit to Panda yielded what I can only refer to as bad bad chinese food . Not only is the restaurant not remotely fancy, but the food is quite tasteless, and ultimately presents a bad value. Having lived in the Bay Area, and being new to Kentucky, I wasn 't quite sure what to expect for its Asian food, but all of the Yelp reviews of Chinese restaurants that offered takeout in the area left me thinking that Panda was the best option. After experiencing Panda firsthand, I really really hope that there are better options in Bowling Green that I just happened to miss. The Chicken Fried Rice is 110% the most bland Chicken Fried Rice I 've ever had in my life. If I was at home, I would have definitely taken what I recieved from this restaurant, and re-fried it, with some seasonings that actually add flavor. I am almost to the point where I 'd say that I wouldn 't be surprised if they weren 't actually frying the rice, but just taking some steamed rice, adding chicken and food coloring, mixing it, and sending it out in nice little takeout boxes. If you are absolutely in a pinch and for some reason can 't find other Chinese food, give Panda a shot, but I honestly cannot recommend this restaurant in any other situation.

The food always taste freshly cooked and not like it has been sitting under a heat lamp. The eggs rolls taste homemade, and not premade and frozen. I cannot think of one time they have ever gotten an order incorrect. Seriously cannot recommend Panda enough!
