Royal Panda - San Dimas

Although the Entreé selections are somewhat limited compared to the 'Kette' store the street called Panda Express, they give you more food, larger portions overall for your hard-earned (dollar).

Not TOO Americanized, offer chow mein AND rice noodles and the cooks are even Asian! The Mongolian beef had slight smokiness that made it my favorite so far. The first thing I tried here was the pepper chicken and I tasted both pepper and chicken instead of that fake flavoring sort of taste. Personally I would prefer some stronger flavors overall, but I haven 't had anything I didn 't like so far. I think I like orange chicken over tangerine chicken, but the tangerine chicken is good. Not overly sauced or chewy, the chicken is tender. I think I like the rice noodles over the chow mein. They have less oil. I 've also tried the black bean chicken and I think the green bean chicken. So far, the food has a fresher, real food taste to it compared to most places. It doesn 't TASTE prepackaged/pre-prepared, even if it is, and it makes a great lunch stop.

This is an amazing Chinese takeout place! The portions are generous, the food is fantastic, and the staff is very friendly—all at a great price! I learned that they've been around for nearly 40 years, and I really wish I had discovered it sooner. I highly recommend it! They give you so much food that they even use an extra container for the three-item combo!

I often visit from Diamond Bar. The food is delicious, and the portions are generous. The prices are also very reasonable.

I'm not sure what has changed since Royal Panda, but the food is definitely better than it was a few years ago. I dine here around once a month, and the portions are generous and delicious!
