"Panda House Takeout: A Feast for the Senses If you're craving fresh, flavorful Chinese cuisine, look no further than Panda House for your next takeout adventure. My recent order was a symphony of deliciousness, leaving me utterly satisfied and already planning my return visit. The star of the show was undoubtedly the General Tso's Chicken. Crispy, golden nuggets of perfection bathed in a sweet and tangy sauce with just the right amount of bite. Each piece burst with flavor, offering a delightful contrast between the crispy exterior and the tender, juicy chicken within. It was the kind of dish that had me reaching back for more long after my plate was clear. The Vegetable Lo Mein provided a welcome contrast, offering a satisfying blend of colorful vegetables cooked to crisp perfection. The noodles were perfectly al dente, holding onto the light sauce without becoming mushy. It was a delightful textural counterpoint to the richness of the General Tso's, and a healthy balance to boot. But the true hidden gem of the evening were the Fried Pork Dumplings. Each delicate dumpling held a juicy, savory pork filling, with a hint of ginger and scallion providing a delightful aromatic element. The thin, pan-fried wrapper offered a satisfyingly crisp contrast to the tender filling, making these little morsels an absolute joy to devour. Overall, Panda House's takeout is a winning proposition. Fresh, flavorful ingredients, perfectly cooked dishes, and generous portions all come together for an experience that will leave you with a smile on your face and a satisfied hunger. Whether you're a seasoned Chinese food aficionado or simply looking for a delicious and convenient meal, Panda House is definitely worth a try."

"What a find! This well established Japanese restaurant has a separate, SIX page separate vegan menu, using vegetables, veggie meats, and the vegan tuna product called Ahimi for some of its sushi and hot dishes. Their menu has more options than most fully vegan Japanese restaurants! If you haven't tried it yet, Ahimi is made by a vegan company called Ocean Hugger and is made from tomatoes and looks like raw tuna without the fishy taste, and has a super smooth mouth feel. So yummy! We have really enjoyed all of the specialty rolls which are all beautifully prepared (see accompanying pics). I personally much preferred the Satay Roll to the Siesta Roll because I found the mango salsa a bit overpowering on the Siesta. Other favorites were the Veggie Thunder Roll, Super Green, and Hippie Roll. A number of the rolls and nigiri use tempura vegetables so there's an added punch. The Gyoza (dumplings) were pan fried and wonderful. We tried the Hibachi Teriyaki Tofu which was great if you're up for a BIG dose of fresh tofu. The Gardein Chicken and Herbivorous Butcher Steak entree was more interesting and really tasty. We also had the vegan KimChi Udon noodles which was very good but I would be better with less oil. Overall I think the vegan sushi is the real specialty of this place and besides the Gyoza, I would be perfectly happy just doing an all sushi dinner here and going lighter on the hot dishes. When we ate there preCOVID, the restaurant was spacious but very comfortable, and service was very attentive. Ask for Kim if you call to place an order. She curated the vegan menu and was super helpful, although isn't there every night. Updated from previous review on 20210217"

"To say I am disappointed will be an understatement. After waiting for 1 hr 25 minutes for a patio seat, I finally got in. I was with a party of four people, which the restaurant people knew from the very beginning but still they made us sit in a small table which could barely accommodate plates glasses along with the grill. That’s a big negative for me from the get-go. The server, he was in such a rush that we could barely understand what he was saying. Now the food, which we got after a long wait. It was utterly disappointing. There were no flavors in the meat. They were bland and super boring. Even the miso soup was yuck. It’s a tapas style restaurant, so you are looking at really really small portions of meat. We tried the set menu for two people, which was not enough at all. We had to order extra portions of meat. Basic things were missing in this restaurant. I don’t know why people gave such high reviews about this place. Food was served, but there was no chopsticks/spoon or anything. When I asked a server, how do I drink the miso soup he says in Japan people drink it from the bowl. HELLO we are not in Japan so that was a very stupid answer which I got. Asked for four spoons got only one. Multiple reminders had to be given to the server for plates and tissues, etc.. The ambience to be honest sucks in this restaurant. Inside was so noisy and claustrophobic with people speaking on the top of their voice it will give a headache to anybody. Outside was dirty. The heaters were not enough and the service was pathetic. Dave your money go somewhere else. Skip this place!! Parking: Parking is terrible, specially in weekend. Good luck finding space to park"

"I was in the mood for sushi and since relocating from San Antonio, I wasn't sure what I was in store for. They place has a clean look, I was seated quickly, and the wait staff was friendly. While I didn't partake, I did notice they had a full bar. The restaurant has an upscale feel to it, without making you feel like you were under dressed in a T-shirt and shorts. They had fry aged steaks, a hibachi grill, and a large alcohol selection. I ordered Gyoza and two roles. It honestly took a lot longer for my food to arrive than I was expecting, especially because the restaurant was basically dead when I arrived. The gyoza was alright, nothing special. It was roughly the same quality as an HeB gyoza. The two roles I ordered I've since forgotten their names, but I'll use my photos as a reference. The role with jalapeños was well balanced in flavor and had a good level of heat to it without being overly hot. It wasn't anything revolutionary in terms of flavor. The second role. I'm not really sure how to describe. I don't know who decided to put arugula on a sushi role, but their judgment should be re-evaluated. The arugula's naturally bitter flavor did not melt with the creaminess of the sauce that went on top. It was a car crash of flavors. I would definitely eat here again, but order a different set of roles. However, if I'm craving sushi I may just drive to San Antonio."
