Yummy! I absolutely love Evergreen Panda! Their garlic string beans are my favorite!!! I also really like the combos they offer. The fried rice is great, and the broccoli beef is flavorful too. We ordered on the phone 30 minutes before pickup, so by the time we arrived, we just went in, paid, and grabbed our food. It was quick and easy! I wasn't a big fan of the sweet and sour chicken or the orange chicken, though. Overall, a solid spot!
The food is good but only complaint that I have is the place needs to be cleaner. Front and back of the restaurant needs to be clean is very disgusting to see shoes under the table.
This is hands down still one of my fave and go-to spots for cheap and GOOD Chinese food! Even with the unfortunate inflation situation, the prices here for the amount of food can't be beat. The food has generous portions and always comes out piping and I mean PIPING HOT! My go-to is the beef chow fun (hold the bean sprouts and carrots). The walnut prawns are also good too but sometimes, they're skimpy with the sauce. I have also recently tried the crab rangoons and while they're not my fave since I prefer thinner wonton wrappers, the cream cheese rangoon filling is generous (as expected). The orange chicken portion is also huge and to me, tastes better if it's air fried afterwards to achieve necessary and respectable levels of crispiness. As for the service, they're usually pretty prompt on the estimated food times if you order in-person or over the phone. Now if you order by phone, be prepared to potentially wait because of a busy tone and have the patience to call back since they don't have call waiting (yeah, even to this day (side eye roll)). But this aside, the food is good and has big portions so it may be worth the calling game. The inside is actually kind of big since there are no tables to eat at but it's a fast-food joint so no surprises there. Definitely try this place out if you're looking for good and affordable Chinese grub!
Walnut shrimp was delicious! Walnuts tasted a little stale/plain but the shrimp tasted so good! Perfect crispy texture without being made soggy by the sauce. Salt & pepper tofu had the perfect seasoning, but the tofu pieces became soft and lost crispness too quickly from being steamed in the box. Decent prices and pretty good value. Will come back!
Huge portion and affordable prices. Highly recommend for a quick Chinese food meal. Ordered and food was ready in less than 10 minutes!! Got the 3 item combination with sweet and sour pork, chicken chow mein, and fried pork wontons for around $13. I would pass on the fried pork wontons but sweet and sour pork was on point, super crispy!
