I’ve been getting takeout with my family here for years, and occasionally dining in. The food is delicious of course, and it’s such a great value. The people who work here are so lovely and nice. I was especially grateful for this place during the height of the pandemic – they have a drive thru pickup window, and they always were careful with safety precautions. This is my go-to for consistently good comfort food, and I will be back again soon

I LOVE the Panda Garden!! Been eating there for years and NEVER had a meal that wasn't delicious. The owners and staff always make me feel welcome and it is a pleasure eating there. How many places can you say that about? My 93 year old Mom won't let me take her ANYWHERE else!! Thank-you, Panda Garden for always making our visit so pleasurable. Want a suggestion for a great dish? Close your eyes and just put your finger down anywhere on the menu. I guarantee you will love it!

The food today was delicious. I had the lunch special and it was a great value for all I received. I would definitely be back soon. Plenty of parking space available out front. Friendly staff. Take out or dine in.

I love this place. It reminds me of childhood.

OMG! This was hands down the best thing I found in Memphis. I haven't had this kind of authentic Chinese cuisine in decades. At so many places it's like eating what is in the grocery store freezer.
Thier hot & source soup...amazing! Thier house fried rice...off the chain! The owners seemed like good nice people. Huge portions great prices!

We were too late for the lunch special so we ordered combo meals and added soup. The service was good and the food was hot. The restaurant was clean and tidy. My husband ordered sesame chicken expecting the dish to come with sauce but it was more like fried chicken nuggets. I ordered snow peas and chicken. The soup, egg rolls and crab puffs were very good. My husband didn’t like the fried rice.

Panda Garden is a great local place to eat. Their dishes are delicious, the service is very friendly and accommodating, and everything is prepared consistently and served quickly. You can eat in or take your food to go, and there is a drive-thru for quick pickup.
The parking lot is spacious and tidy, and the restaurant is easy to find and central to Memphis. I would consider it a hidden gem on Summer Avenue. Definitely go there if you're craving Chinese and a Chinese-American food.
I nearly forgot to mention - the chicken and shrimp fried rice is mind-blowingly good and features actual chicken and shrimp. Compared to other Chinese restaurants, I would rate it as top notch.

Need to try this place. The staff there is super friendly and are on top of assisting their customers. The food is good and the setting is nice as well

I usually get a pickup order at the drive up window. Delicious Asian style food with a big menu to choose from. The sweet and sour chicken pieces are so big and delicious. The Romeo and Juliette was a surprisingly great combo of flavors as well!
Kenneth Lecco
Very good experience, will be back for sure
Stevo Stevens
Simply fantastic. Everything here is outstanding--you really cannot go wrong. Their prices are reasonable. I have been ordering from this restaurant for years, and their service has always been excellent, every single time.
Definitely the best Chinese food in the city.
Dale Lewis
I have come here for a few years now and the food is always amazing. Quick service, great location. Love u guys.

Very quiet and cozy environment. The staff are friendly and the food is presentable and also good tasting and affordable! I come here a couple times a month.

Best Chinese food in Memphis hands down. I have eaten at Panda Garden for almost ten years now, and every time the food is fresh, hot, and delicious.
The service is always excellent. I have probably ordered take out from Panda Garden over 50 times, and every time my order was ready in 20 minutes and never once was have I had a problem.
As for what to get, you really cannot go wrong but I highly recommend their spring rolls, fried rice, and Kung pao chicken.
Oh yeah and they now have a drive through window, and it is fantastic--super convenient and super fast.
The only thing I think they could improve is maybe offering a buffet for lunch. However, their lunch entrees are huge and reasonably priced, so maybe they should just stick with what works.
Butch Bucy
We went there for lunch a great atmosphere the place was super clean service was excellent and the food was superb AAA+ just enough food to fill you up tea glass was never empty I highly recommend this place for sure!!!!!!
Chuck
Has been one of my favorites for 20 years, but last 3 visits have been increasingly off. Taste is just not the same and quality isn't there
Merionly83
Everything they serve here is pretty good, better than most. But they excel at 3 things:<br/>-hot and sour soup<br/>-sesame chicken<br/>-chicken fried rice<br/>On those 3 things no one else comes close.<br/>Other bonuses:<br/>No msg is ever used.<br/>It's a clean place.<br/>The people are nice.<br/>Service and price are very good.<br/>
Thomas
Standard American/Chinese menu but a tad better than the average. Each dish we had was very fresh and cooked perfectly but nothing surprised me. Nothing stood out to make me want to return but if you like the standard American/Chinese menu this place is a good choice.The restaurant is very clean and our server was charming and efficient.
Nikita
This take-out place has got excellent reviews (4.5 as of 2016) but it didn't live up to my expectations. The food was strictly average and at most a bit better than average but nothing going gaga over. Don't set your expectations very high if you are getting take-out food from Panda Garden!
Sugarsnaps
My favorite Chinese place in Memphis!! The food is delicious, authentic and they do not use MSG which is great for people with sensitivity to that. I highly recommend! I love the fried shrimps, string bean beef or chicken, pork fried rice, sesame chicken. Pretty much anything is good!

I LOVE Asian food. Because I crave it so often, I've tried most (yes, really) of the Asian restaurants in Memphis; Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Vietnamese. Panda Garden is my co-favorite (along with Sekisui Bartlett's hibachi table). I'm telling you-the soups at Panda Garden have to be among the best foods on this planet. I could eat their egg drop soup every single day. And if you're not feeling well, egg drop soup with it's chicken broth base has healing properties. Give this place a try. You won't be disappointed.
Ricardo Morales
This place is great! We have ordered take-out from Panda Garden twice and were amazed at how good the food was. Service has been very friendly and fast both times we have gone as well. I am looking forward to dining in at this restaurant soon and trying more of the dishes on their menu. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for some good Chinese food in Memphis.
Pamelab
Our favorite Chinese place. We've been coming to Panda Garden for years. Love the service and the food. Can't beat the lunch specials and my favorite dinner is the Orange Chicken. Delicious.
Tammararitter
Horrible. Took my family for super and the service and food was the worse I ever had. Rushed us to take our order, waited 30 mins for our drinks and 1 hour and 20 mins later we received our foos and it was cold. 3 of us ordered the same exact meal and got 2 different kinds of rice. Chicken was over cooked and dried out. Never again will we eat there.

Best Chinese In Memphis. Superb food and service!
Altoncullen
Excellent. I have been eating in/ordering takeout for 25 years+ from Panda Garden, formerly Formosa. There is none better. Come to Berclair and see how it is properly done. You will not regret the trip.
Daniel
Neighborhood Staple. What can I cay? Everyone else seems to have covered it. It's a staple in the Berclair area and has been there for years, formerly as Formosa, but the food has always been the same. It's spoiled pretty much all other Chinese places for me, if you go there will see what I mean. The Fried Rice is spectacular, whether you just get egg fried rice or something meaty; it will be delicious. General Tso's, Sesame, Sweet and Sour are all good ways to get your chicken. If all that isn't enough; they have fried wanton, which many places in Memphis don't seem to have, and they are very good(the wanton soup is also really good).
Blake.allgayer
Best restuarant I have ever been to. This is possibly the best restuarant i have ever been to, period. The food is delicious, and it doesn't take more than 10 minutes from the time you order it to when it gets to your table. Not to mention the servers are incredibly polite and stay on top of keeping your drink filled. It is also very clean. I will go out of my way to come here again.
Jean
The food and service have been outstanding in the 20 plus years we have patronized them beginning as Formosa and continuing those traditions by the new owners. Recommend heartily!!!!

Great Place to Eat. I really enjoy eating at Panda Garden! The food is freshly cooked and delicious, and the service is exceptionally friendly. My favorite dish, the honey chicken, is not on the printed menu. This is fabulous with white rice, not the fried. If you are looking for quantity, Panda Garden will not let you down, especially at lunch. The lunch dishes include a small piece of chicken, a donut, soup, AND an egg roll. Of course, this is in addition to your entree. The atmosphere at Panda Garden is also great. Small, intimate, great place for dinner with a friend or a date.
Lauren Buresh
Sweet and sour chicken was very light and crispy! Delicious!<br/><br/><br/>-----28 Jan, 2014-----<br/><br/>Hands down the best Chinese place in Memphis. I was so impressed with how light and flakey the crab Rangoon was. I also love how the sweet and sour chicken came with the sauce in a large container and the chicken in a separate container to keep it from getting soggy! The ladies that worked this evening were very nice to us and it was a very cute little restaurant inside. Again, best Chinese I've had in Memphis! We won't go anywhere else again.
Mollymarie1113
THE VERY BEST. You will never eat at any other Chinese restaurant!! Their food has to have crack or something in it. IM HOOKED and crave PG atleast twice a week.
Jayden
The food at Panda Garden was disgusting!!! I've never experienced Chinese food like this before... It was under seasoned and over cooked. The house fried rice had no taste to it. I was extremely unsatisfied with the food, I spent over 55.00 on a family meal and my kids didn't want to eat it. I will never order food from there again.
Adrie
I have been meaning to leave a review for this fabulous place! Everything is great here! The best Chinese food in memphis. My personal fave is the sweet and sour chicken. When I say that they have the freshest ingredients, I am telling the truth! The onions, green peppers, and pineapples in this dish ate sooo good and even after reheating the food, my onions n green peppers still crunch! Love this place! Only slight downside is that sometimes I get stale fortune cookies :( but I give them a pass since they aren't actually made there lol.

Best Chinese Restaurants in the world!. One of the best Chinese Restaurants in the world! <br/><br/>I am originally from Hawaii and am part Hawaiian and Asian. I have lived across the Pacific Rim. Had Panda Garden been in Hawaii, there would be a long line of hungry customers around the block waiting to eat here. As it is now, Panda Garden is a best kept secret in the middle of Memphis with few customers.<br/><br/>The food at this quiet, little Chinese restaurant in the middle of Memphis Tennessee is such a pleasant surprise. The vegetables are crisp and fresh. The rolls and dumplings are freshly made with the freshest ingredients. Unlike typical Chinese American restaurants, the food is not overly greasy, salty, burnt or smothered in bottled sauces. The cuisine tastes more healthy and homemade like my Chinese grandmother Bo Lin made back in Hawaii.<br/><br/>The prices here are very affordable while the decor is crisp, clean and professional. Clean, crisp linen napkins and quality service ware is used rather than typical cheap plastic plates found at most Chinese fast food restaurants and buffets.<br/><br/>Thus, if you are looking for healthy, tasty, fresh, authentic Chinese food, Panda Garden is definitely one of best places in the world--except for my grandmother Bo Lin's kitchen!

Yum!. This is my favorite Chinese restaurant in Memphis, and the owners and staff are so nice! They are friendly and accomodating and the food is awesome. No MSG and we just got it to go tonight and they don't use styrophome to-go containers, which is great. I've been to this traditional Chinese place with large groups, and only heard rave reviews from everyone.
SB
This is simply some of the best Chinese food I have had in Memphis. The sweet and sour & egg drop are great. Mongolian beef is outstanding. I have not had a bad or even remotely close to being bad item on the menu. You have got to try this place. I am sure it will be one of your favs as well.
Estoyhambre
I've eaten in this restaurant a few times. It was very good both times, but i dont remember what I ordered. My fave takeout Chinese place on summer (taste of china) seems to have new owners, and I've been not so thrilled with their food or service as of late. So when I was craving Chinese takeout this Friday I decided to try panda garden's take-out. I read the reviews and ordered the sesame chicken, crab wontons and hot & sour soup. The fried goodness did not disappoint. It was finger-lickin good. The crab wontons are like food crack. I could have ordered healthier, but I wanted to try the things the rest of you guys have been raving about on here. Oh, and no MSG in the food was a nice plus. I like how the sesame seeds are fried into the breading. They're hard to see, but they're definitely there and extra tasty.
Allie Mounce
Favorite Chinese in Memphis. I don't think I've ever felt the need to review a restaurant I've technically never eaten in, but Panda Garden has become a weekly call-on-my-way-home-pick-up-bring-home staple at my house. The General Tso's chicken is wonderfully garlicky and just barely breaded, the fried rice is perfect, and I'm convinced the hot and sour soup has magical healing properties. Really, everything I've gotten there has been delicious. Plus the owners are really nice.
Matt
I think their Hot & Sour Soup is the best in Memphis. I also think the service is always great.
Midtown Lover
Just had the Crab Rangoon and I feel the reviews may only be from family of Panda. I am only speaking about crab rangoon!!! The sauce was great and wontons were cristy. But....that was it a crispy wonton with creamcheese and NO crab. I will pass
Southernsouthpaw
One of my favs!. I've been eating here since the early 80's (was called Formosa, then). Best traditional hot & sour soup in town, and great, fresh, dishes. I go for the spicy, so it's the onion/pepper dishes for me. Their lunch specials are a bargain and a half.
Tara Burnett- Smith
Not only are the prices great... The food is the best and freshest that you can find. Check it out. You will not be disappointed. The staff are very nice and service is always great. Best best best Chinese ever!!!
Pastrygirl
Great chinese! Great service. The only place that might beat it is Chang's House in Bartlett. But Panda Garden has a real dining room.
Mojo
Best crab rangoon ever. If you want Chinese and you're in the area, eat here. They have the best crab rangoon I've ever had, hands down. Service is friendly and fast. Their main dishes are good but not spectacular. It's worth the visit just for the crab rangoon.
AlishaD
Best Chinese in Memphis. Great service! Try the General Tso's, hot and sour soup, and crab rangoons none will disappoint.
Michelle
This is the best Hot & Sour Soup in town. Their Sechuan Chicken (spicy!) is outstanding. The kids LOVE the chicken wings appetizer. This is my favorite Chinese Restaurant.
The Charles
I finally respect Chinese food again. The food, service, and prices were great!
Coley.farm
Great!. One of my favorite asian restaurants in the city. The crab ragoon, sesame chicken and hot and sour soup are a must have!
Power Diner
Always Great. We eat (take out) here several times a month. Food is always great, order is always correct, order is always ready at the time promised. If I could complain the only thing I would say is it is hard to get enough hot mustard or soy packets, otherwise this awesome establishment gets a 100% awesome!!!!!
Jets
Wonderful Chinese!. I agree that the hot and sour soup is outstanding. I have never had anything on the menu that was not hot and freshly prepared, and the service is perfect. I love their steamed and fried dumplings. I adore spicy, and the Chinese chef is a master at getting your attention in a very good way if you state your preference. Yum!!
Troy Gurley
Very delicious food. No buffet but you get more than enough at lunch for around $6. Awesome service and atmosphere. The best hot $ sour soup ever hands down. I believe we should get rid of the buffet and do it the way this restruant dose.
Logan Guleff
I usually order the Da Chen chicken- a nice spicy chicken dish with a rich brown sauce and chunks of veggies. Then again I love the lo main a Chinese noodle dish with a nice sauce-yummy. I also enjoy the szechuan beef ( it is a dinner item and comes with a fancy cut carrot.) It is very good. The sesame chicken is thin strips of fried chicken plain but tasty. and the sweet and sour chicken
