It’s a great place to wind down in after a long day at work, the staff is very kind and friendly and they have a cute little gift shop section inside too! The food is immaculate and just what I expected from a place as cozy as this one. Would recommend coming back over and over
Food was good. A little strange when I walked in. The first question was "how can I help you? As I stood waiting to be seated with my two toddlers. Maddy, our waitress, was great. So was her helper. Good food, moderate pricing. If you love cabbage order the wonton soup.
Never been believe it or not, I know understand there is a difference between Panda Happy and express. And I doubt I'll ever go to express anymore. While we found out after, and it made sense. For a short handed staff, they really did great. The wait was unexpected but I had great company and we were not in a hurry. Plus the Sapporo was ICE cold. I ordered Chicken Pad Thai, hubby, the Happy family, Postickers for Start. Everything came out hot and tasteful. The sauce for the potstickers was amazing! Hard not to lick off the plate frankly, but I just spooned it like a good human. Good portions so we had plenty of Leftovers and despite the hustle and bustle our waitress remembered we ordered Fries rice to go in the end. I believe had they had a full deck of staff, the wait would have been in half and the Darling waitress who was carrying the brunt of everything but still held out good customer service, could have let her full fun personality shine. Good place to stop for sure.
After My Son’s soccer game we had been there. We ordered Sesame Chicken, shrimp noodles and Mongolian Beef. So delicious and yummy. Crews are kind and fast service. My kids were happy. Restroom is clean and restaurant is clean, neat and organized.
