Chinese Cuisine
The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.
Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.
There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.

Well I tried this place out of hunger for chinese food and I just don't think I'll be going back.. My order came to 20.35 all together which isn't to bad but its just not the same as normal chinese food.. I ordered Orange chicken and instead of getting deep fried large chicken chunks with orange sauce like a normal place will give you I got small chunked chicken in a spicy orange sauce that I'm not very fond of I'm 7mos pregnant and don't really like spicy stuff.. The crab rangoon was a little off as well amd came with no sweet and sour sauce which is also pretty unusual.. The egg drop soup most is usually yellow broth due to egg yolk but this ones white I'm just so confused I don't quite understand what kind of Chinese food this is but its definitely not normal lol.. Not to my liking...

Worst Chinese ever! Everything taste like they put a whole bottle of soy sauce. I had a bunch of people over and no one liked it. If you want traditional Chinese food don't order from here. The beef chopped suey was tasteless and the general tso was so hard you couldn't. Chew it. One of my friends eats everything and he even said that it was tough to swallow. The host said that they don't make bad food well I think she needs to try eating at other places because that was really bad food. If you want fresh and healthy this is not the place. When you walk into the place you get hit by a smell of musty moldy almost like the place flooded and they just left the carpet down. If the smell is that bad in the dinning area I would hate to see what the kitchen looks like.

Was staying at Key Lime Cove and kids wanted Chinese food. This place is what I call old school Chinese place. Dingy, smelly, and an old Chinese Lady who couldnt care if I was there or not. You would think that it couldn't get any worse...and it didn't. We were there for lunch, and typical fare with lunch entree came soup or salad and egg roll. The soup (hot and sour) was actually really good. The mongolian beef was not bad, surprisingly good. The mean lady even softened up near the end. My daughter did not like the smell or the LoMein with vegetables, but then she likes fries and Subway. My question is why are these Chinese places getting so lazy. They wont admitted, and I'm too suspicious, but why do all the spring rolls, egg rolls, and pot stickers taste so alike? Dont they hand make these anymore? Overall, food has better than good taste, decour is WHAT DECOUR? Chinese dont waste their money on decour. I would actually go back for the mongolian beef.

My Husband and I love Best Panda. We have never ordered anything we didn't like!

I'm not sure why you often go towards loving what you grow up with, but Best Panda is my favorite Chinese joint. While the service can seem a bit rude, since it's primarily a take-out place. The workers (mainly run by a female cashier) will warm up to you, especially if you have a familiar face. The food is the tastiest! I love their sweet and sour chicken (even though it's boring but has a pineapple-cherry flavor to it), chicken fried rice, fried wontons, and lo mein. Some of the best and the red S&S sauce shows it!!

Decent, but not great, Chinese food. I originally came here for the Sesame Chix in the original review, but that is mediocre. They do have decent Govenor's, Lemon Chicken, Hunan Beef that we have tried to date.

I tried this place on my never ending search for the perfect General Tso's chicken (the best so far is Hunan Palace in Libertyville). I ordered that and the cream cheese wontons. The General Tso's was good (they give you about 5 big hunks of chicken and a ton of sauce) and piping hot, but I was disappointed by the wontons. The service was not good. There were two tables of diners and I came in and placed the order for take out. She said 30min. 30min? really? I've been to almost every other chinese place in the area and never been told to wait that long no matter how busy they were. So I went to the walgreens, came back 30 min later. I was told 5-10 more min. At about 40 min my order was ready. Way too long to wait, in my opinion.

I'm not sure Jonathan K has the right place, cause I've never seen that deal. Anyway, I go here pretty regularly and they're the best in the area, for me. Love the potstickers, spicy red sauce, and sizzling rice chicken (eat-in) or chix fried rice (take-out). Plus they've modified dishes to suit too. My family MAKES me take them here when they're in town (my sister loves the crunchy beef). They are usually busy, even if no one is eating in, so I can see why sometimes there's a wait, but I always call ahead. I agree with Richie D that it's better once they know you.

Great rice, they have this rice that has everything in it, Beef, pork, shrimp, chicken, pretty good

dang i really dont like giving less than 3 stars...im gonna spit some yelp integrity tho. i compare the food here to panda express, not that panda express isnt good...just that the quality and taste of the food was no better. on the bright side, for $6 u start with the fried chips, good-sized entree w rice, and your choice of soup. the price is actually better than panda express, but that doesnt mean im gonna give 3 stars.

The food quality has really decreased over the years. The egg drop soup is lacking in flavor and the meat is poor quality. The prices are high for the quality of food.

Oh my god. This place has some of the BEST sesame chicken I've ever had in my life. The meat consists of huge chunks of white meat, and the sauce it's in is incredible. They've nailed it. Admittedly, the fried rice here is so-so, but the crab rangoons did hit the spot...and the sesame chicken, alone, is more than enough of a reason for me to want to order from here again!

I've been coming here for years and it rarely disappoints. I usually go for the Kung Pao Beef. The combination of vegetables, crunchy peanuts, and tender beef in a spicy brown sauce is hard to beat. The Mongolian Beef is good for when I'm not in the mood for something quite so spicy. Service here can seem a bit abrupt at times, but it is understandable when things are busy. Although they have a small dining area, this place is mostly for take-out. I have them on speed dial.

Sure, the hostess is not the friendliest......as she generally refers to me by my phone number. If I come in to pick up my sweet and sour chicken she will interrupt me and just blurt out: "phone number??" I've gotten used to it over the years! As others say, eating in the restaurant is absolutely no frills and if anything, a little depressing because the hostess also acts as the waitress, and it seems as if you are really putting her out by eating in the restaurant. So it's best just to give them your phone number and order take out! Now the food is good for a Chinese take out place. My favorites are the lo mein, beef chop suey, beef fried rice and pot stickers. If you ask, they will make your fried rice "spicy"----which is really good! The pot stickers as an appetizer are very good---especially pan fried. The egg foo young is ok, but the shrimp is not really cooked in with the egg---just separate, which is a little odd compared to other Chinese joints. I give this place 4 stars because I find them endearing for their unfriendliness (think Seinfeld Soup Nazi)----they don't mean to be unfriendly, it's just the way they are. I have eaten their food for over 15 years now, so they must be doing something right. "Phone Number?"

I have been going to Best Panda for ten years now. Conveniently located 1/2 a block from where I live, it's the closest Chinese restaurant to me. The food is consistently tasty. Favorites on the menu are moo shu vegetables and pork, Kung Pao chicken, Mongolian beef and garlic scallops. The prices have risen a bit over the years, but the quality is there. I always order the hot and sour soup, which is nicely hot and sour. Ask for fried wonton strips to add some crunch to the thick broth. Food usually takes 20-25 minutes to prepare. The same family has been working there for years and its taken the hostess a while to warm up, but and sometimes she even smiles at me. The interior of the the restaurant is absolutely no frills, but they have good value lunch specials with soup, fire rice and an entree. I recommend this for take out.

Best Panda? No - WORST PANDA. I don't know if the other 4-5 star reviewers ever ate food before; let alone Chinese food. I would eat Panda Express (with 2 guns to my head) before I would eat this food. I will ignore the rude hostess and speak to what is really important. I am rating this based on fast food Chinese take out. This food is disgusting. I got carry out 3 times. 1) Lo Mein. Can't screw up Lo Mein, right? Dry, salty and vegetables cooked to death. 2) Pot Stickers and Egg Rolls. Again, nothing tricky here. Wrong. Gummy, all dough and the egg roll contents - just mushy and nasty. 3) Spicy Shrimp. What was I thinking after #1 and #2? Shrimp were small, very few, super tough, sauce was grainy, thick, over powering and just nasty. This is my harshest review of all. Just nasty. Worst of any restaurant in Lake County. Worst Chinese I have ever had.

I will never eat here again. This used to be my favorite Chinese place. The last time I ordered it was awful. Mongolian beef was dried out and smelled weird. When I picked it up I noticed how filthy the phone and counter were as well. Makes me wonder what's going on in the kitchen.

Have been eating here for over 15 yrs. LOVE it! Have introduced many and they all love it as well & return. Every time I eat Chinese elsewhere I compare it to BP & still the BEST.

The last time i was here was probably 10 years ago. I did not like their food back then so i was a little reluctant when my boyfriend wanted to go here. Take Out orders seems to be on the slow side. He was told the wait would be half and hour. Maybe because it's only the wife and husband working? So if you are really hungry, be prepared to wait. He ordered chicken fried rice, garlic chicken, and hot and sour soup for me. Obviously this place is faaaaaaaaar from being "authentic." It is very Americanized but can't blame them due to the location. The garlic chicken wasnt bad at all tbh. It just looked kinda scary lol. It was just very gooey with reddish sauce. The look isnt very appealing but it doesnt taste bad. If i had to go there again, i wouldnt mind ordering it again. The fried rice is "normal" as well. It's your very basic kind of fried rice. I actually did not really like my hot and sour soup. Edible. But wont order it again. There was only three ingredients in there. Eggs, bamboo shoots and a ton of mushrooms. Even the non authentic ones around the area has tofu, water crescents, black mushrooms, carrot slices, and pieces of meat. To me, this was the most skimpiest of the skimpiest hot and sour soup i've ever had. It's like someone picked out all the stuff they dont like and gave me the soup. bleeeeeh. The soup looks like egg drop soup from a distance because of the amount of eggs in the soup. So, if you feel like eating chinese food, Hunan Hibachi Buffet in Waukegan is a little better. A tad better... I would recommend going there for a slightly better quality chinese food. I just dont see myself ordering anything else from them. Especially if you can skimp out so much on the most basic soup.
