"Unfortunately, they've had issues retaining delivery drivers, so they no longer offer that service. However, their food prices are fantastic for the portion sizes—probably some of the best deals around. The food is very good overall. Their rice is decent; it's the usual yellow, fried rice that most Chinese restaurants in the area serve, often lacking in vegetables and eggs. What sets them apart is their extensive appetizer menu, which includes some Spanish options like boquitas and fried sweet plantains. My go-to dishes include their bourbon chicken, chicken wings, soups, fried scallops, spare ribs, chicken fingers, beef teriyaki, various broccoli dishes, and egg rolls. I usually request extra bourbon sauce for the bourbon chicken to prevent it from being too dry; it's flavorful and grilled just right. They make their own egg rolls, which I like to order in large batches to snack on for a few days. Unlike many places that serve frozen, store-bought egg rolls mostly filled with cabbage, theirs are made with plenty of cabbage and minced BBQ spare rib meat. I also enjoy their fried sugar donuts, which remind me of tiny fried dough bites, but softer. Their fried apple sticks are great when they’re crispy and sprinkled with cinnamon sugar, although I once ordered them and they turned out chewy, without any cinnamon sugar, tasting quite doughy. Most of their lunch and dinner combinations are solid. Overall, I highly recommend giving this place a try. My rating reflects the quality of the food rather than the dining area or its location."

"Yikes. 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."

"Some of the best, most authentic Chinese foods can be found in the area! Upon arrival we were pleased that the restaurant had its own parking on the back. The hostess welcomed us kindly and we had our choice either a stand or a table. The interior of the restaurant was well furnished, and we appreciate the natural lighting and the abundance of plants that really brought the place to life. The menu was absolutely extensive, and there were practically endless options for us to choose. Fortunately, the menu was well organized and we could consult our waiter according to recommendations. We ordered the hot and acid soup, the spicy sommes and the shrimp toast. All came fast and piping hot, and tasted fresh and very tasteful. They were also very accommodating for the vegetarian of the party that is unusual for some other Chinese restaurants. We ordered a few entrees to share, but by far was the highlight of the lobster. It was perfectly and delicately cooked, and the lobster itself was fleshy and juicy. The sauce was delicious savory, and we could taste the skill of the cooks in every bite. Our other entrees were just as happy and you can really not go wrong with something on the menu. Overall, the waiting staff was attentive and helpful, the servings were appropriate and very full, and our culinary experience was very pleasant. We will definitely come back and take if we can't come! You can't miss this place!"
