Panda Garden - San Marcos

Firstly, I usually don't go out of my way to give negative reviews. I only rarely do this and if I feel that there is a very good reason for it. I want to say that people are very friendly there. The manager/owner welcomed me pleasantly and the waitresses were also very nice. Normally I go to the Pan Asia buffet from Nordahl to and from Walmart. The food is exquisite EVERY time! Ironically, people there are not terribly friendly, but the food is absolutely excellent! But I was tired after work today, and my bank is on the same parking lot as Panda Garden (Citibank of Del Taco I don't feel the whole way through the city to the always reliable Pan Asia buffet, so I thought that good as I am here why not... I ordered the very simple honey spicy shrimps with a few added pieces of chicken. Both the shrimp and the chicken were SUPER hard and hard and I could hardly chew them honestly. I ate about 1/3 of my dinner and I just couldn't finish it. It was terrible, I didn't want to take the rest home. I told the waitress, almost apologetic, that the food was just too hard and I couldn't finish it. Interestingly, no excuses were given, no comments, NOTHING... And, to supplement injuries, although I left about 2/3 of the food on the table, they still had the nerve to calculate me the full price OHNE APOLOGY, COMMENT, NOTE! So I paid the $20 or so for about 5 or 6 pieces of hard, almost insensitive chicken and shrimp. I see people go in there, and I guess they have their regulars. I cannot imagine what they order in hell, but what I had was really anxious AND I really do NOT appreciate that they made absolutely NO effort, even to apologise or adjust the price, again, NOTE! So, I felt I really had to come here and leave this review. I'll just never go there again. I will make the trip over the city to the Pan Asia Buffet, whether HOW is **** tired I am, and for about the same price, maybe a few dollars more, I can make an absolutely LIEBELY dinner with delicious food and a HUGE variety (I recommend most the teriyaki chicken, it is too frigg'n DIE for! ?

Very disappointed. This is the first time I ever wrote something... it was so bad. Read all the good reviews and was thrilled for some good Chinese cuisine. Something had to be wrong with the cook today, based on what I read. Sweet and acidic chicken was extremely dry and quite unusable. Pork fried rice had a strange taste and taste. Won ton soup was very bland. The lucky cookies were even stable! And the worst for me were the egg rolls. They were more like spring rolls and mushy? inside. I was really excited about a good egg roll!!

Lunch on Monday at 1:30. The restaurant is clean and the service is very good. Unfortunately, the food seemed to sit on the bottom of a pot for 4 hours, not fresh, a little over boiled. Not delicious.

I love her cream cheese competitions!! I'm going there to order her. I like the other dishes vegetables and chicken spicy style, but CC Wontons are the bomb.com!

Very delicious Chinese food. Panda garden provides Chinese food that not greasy and oily, all dishes are yummy and the meat are fresh. For me, Panda Garden is the best Chinese food in SD.
