Ordered take out and got the garlic chicken upgraded with special friend rice with a side of hot and sour soup. The soup was fire I would go back just for that alone. Garlic chicken was great too. The pork in the special fried rice looked a little lower quality but other than that everything was delicious. Had to wait a little bit at the front desk but they were probably short staffed. 10/10 would go back
Photos on menu or environment might not look that good. But the food is the most authentic and best taste Chinese food in Charlotte.
Amazing! Had general ssos. Excellent crunchy. Spicy. Fried rice was the best ever too. We have been coming here for years. Except the past 5 years. We haven't been around this side town. I came back and a Wow It is even better than I could remember before.
The owner is very welcoming, warm and super nice. I always went to this place for Rice with stewed minced pork (卤肉饭), quite authentic! I remembered sometimes when I ordered pick-up, he would provide some side dishes for free. I was so touched as by then I was a student. Highly recommend this place! Now I moved out of town, but will definitely visit there if I have a chance back to Charlotte.
It's difficult to find an actual table service Chinese restaurant these days, much less one with an actual Chinese language menu, so we were excited to try the homestyle authentic Chinese dishes at Panda's Den! There are also pictures and we had the help of a translation app. Hot tea came in a familiar metal pot and small cups for $1.95/person, and rice in a big bowl.
Our unanimous favorite dish was the eggplant with shrimp (P10)--thick slices of the long Chinese eggplant in a delicious garlic sauce. Other recommendations are the salt and pepper fish (P8) and Pork Udon (P18).
They also had stewed egg 滷蛋 and tofu (G19), but they were a bit salty. The Sa Cha green beans (G8) were good, and only $6.95.
The crab Seafood soup is a big bowl for sharing and has a decent amount of shrimp and scallops, with some crab, underneath the egg white layer on top.
The food is always freshly prepared and delicious! Their crab rangoons 🦀 are delicious as well. I always get the broccoli with garlic sauce with the crab rangoons. Always professional and polite!
Me and my boyfriend stopped by during for dinner after he got off work. The staff was very very friendly. The food was good and I definitely will be back.
If you haven't tried this place, definitely try it out and support the nice owner.
So far, so good. I've only tried the Orange chicken, but have had it 3 times.
This is my absolute favorite Asian restaurant in Charlotte! The spicy wontons are amazing and the chicken in garlic sauce is the best in town
Panda's Den has some of the best food and service you'll find in East Charlotte (some would argue all of Charlotte). Absolutely worth a visit.
