I visited Panda Garden for the first time today and was very impressed! Food was delicious and the service was friendly and fast! The atmosphere was friendly as we chatted with some of the other patrons, the server and the owner. Lovely folks! Will definitely go back again.

Not authentic flavors but they work. E.g. General Tao has a more ketchupy taste. Solid. Prices are very reasonable. I'd give them another shot.

Food is delicious and very large portions. Lunch special deals with sweet n sour chicken balls is very cost effective and portions are large. Hot n sour soup is very delicious. Beef is very soft and nicely cooked Service is very efficient. Place is nice and clean. Ambiance is great. Furniture very comfortable. Parking is an issue.

Restaurant with pretty interior and friendly staff. We arrived on a Monday morning just right after their opening time so it wasn’t busy. The staff were very welcoming and kept checking in (quietly) to make sure we had what we need while not making us feel uncomfortable. The food was so yummy and the portion was huge so after the meal, we were full until bed time! If you can’t finish everything, the staff will be more than happy to pack up the food for you to take home ❤️

Great new Chinese restaurant in Owen Sound! We ordered the dinner for 5. Placing the order was easy and staff are very friendly and attentive. Food was ready in 25 minutes and nicely prepared and packed. Food was also hot and remained hot for the ride home until we enjoyed it. Great spot!! We did not eat inside however the atmosphere looked great and we will be back.

This restaurant just opened about a week ago. Very nice- food was delicious- we had two combos: the sweet and sour pork, chicken chop suey, and chicken fried rice; and the sweet and sour sesame chicken, beef with broccoli, and chicken fried rice; and an egg roll and a spring roll. Took no time at all for the food to come out, and they were very generous portions. Brought some of mine home to enjoy tomorrow. Waitress was very friendly and the price was good. We will be back!!

Fantastic value and good food. The chicken balls are mainly chicken with perfect, crispy breading. Huge portions for their ~$10 combos, we took almost an entire one home because the two of us could only finish 1! Ordered another plate for home because it's such a great bang for your buck. Atmosphere is great, very bright and clean. Service is also fantastic. You can tell they really care about giving you a great experience and securing regulars. It will be a regular stop for us on our tips through Owen Sound, for sure. Photo is after I ate a good bit! Forgot to take one when it was brought to the table.

I dined with my daughter there this evening (Oct 24th, 2024). I am very picky about product quality, cleanliness, and proper execution of the dishes. This is a new place, and they absolutely know how this style of food should be done, and they delivered an unexpectedly high level experience in all areas. Best part was the pricepoint being very conservative.

Panda Garden is my favorite eating spot in owen sound! The food is delicious and the staff are very friendly with great service!! An excellent selection on the menu for all, including my vegetarian diet. Prices are exceptional starting at $10 for a meal which is a full size plate so expect to be taking home some leftovers!!

5 stars. Just tried Panda Garden for the first time. Hot & Sour soup was the best I ve ever had. Everyone at my table said that the food was amazing. General Chicken,Tai Dop Voy, rice, vegetables, won ton soup the sauces - all beautifully done and flavourful. Service was wonderful as well. Might just be our favourite Chinese food place in Owen Sound now. Wheelchair accessibility: They have ramps for wheelchairs.

A new, friendly and Wonderful Chinese restaurant. The portions are amazing and fairly priced. I heard about this new restaurant through family and they did not disappoint. The staff are so welcoming and wonderful with children. My family and I will be ordering from The Panda Garden for our Chinese cuisine from now on. Kid-friendliness: The staff were so incredibly supportive after my son experienced a verbally abusive older women shout at him. He was humming a tune. (4yrs old) they offered my children some snacks and entertained them while we waited for our large order. I was so very upset about, and the staff and owner were immensely supportive.

Seen good reviews for Panda Gardens. So we ordered takeout drove to owen sound to pick up. Ordered 2 combination meals with sauce on side as my wife dont like it. Got home was covered with sauce! Called to inform of order being made wrong. Remade and by time it got home my dinner was cold. The meal had good portion but we were not fans of meals. We will not return and they should also work on customer service!

Old school Chinese eat in spot. Very friendly staff, and portions are very big which is great. The food needs to be crisper as it is too mushy for me, but the flavour is on par with what you would expect. This is definitely a good addition to the neighborhood if you want an OG Chinese eat in. Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetable rice and noodle dishes. Kid-friendliness: Very friendly for kids, its a family restaurant.

Excellent food! Portion sizes are huge! Friendly courteous and quick blonde haired waitress who was attentive and gracious! Prices are excellent! However could loose the Asian child/waitress sleeping at the front counter it s a public dining room not a bedroom! Second Asian staff member seemed to be standing around watching the blonde girl work. I hope my generous tip went directly to the blonde haired girl and was not shared!

Honestly I grew up in Markham all my life. Chinese culture and food has been part of my heritage. Now I will admit the menu is very Canadianized, as it should be expected in this area. My combination dinner was AMAZINGLY SOO FRESH!! Even my boneless pork which anywhere else it s always overdone. Welcomed addition to OS that s for sure! Please keep up your service, food quality, portions and cleanliness!!! Your food was very appreciated by my soul

It said reservations recommended and I believe you probably should for dinner, its decorated tastefully modern, almost seemed a bit fancy for lunch and it was no problem to be seated immediately. They said they had only been open for 5 weeks, but I think once people find out it will get busy. Prices were very reasonable and portions super generous, as well as a good mix of vegetables and lots of chicken, not even one green pepper chunk which I appreciated. The service was amazing and the gentleman serving us was a delight Dietary restrictions: Just a dietary preference but they were happy to make my Cantonese Chow Mein with only chicken(normally comes with every kind of meat) and add a generous amount of almonds.

1 STAR * First time here. Not overly impressed. Ordered two meals. Both the A3. The rice was basic, the chop suey was better then i expected.Portion size was better than most as well. But the issue I had was the quality of meat they used. the chicken was gross.!!!!!!!!!! odd tasting as well as txture when you cut it open it reminded me of a neck off of a turkey at thanksgiving time.... white meat would be best........ later on today - so we went at 3pm around 9:30pm I died in the bathroom!!!!!!! and this is all Ive eaten in several days so Ik it was the meal from here that gave me AN UPSET TUMMY. I wont be back that is for sure. Not worth the pain I suffered in my tummy. Parking: I parked across from the little Roxy. Free parking.

Ok after having our take out order time for a review. First off we had honey garlic spare ribs, chicken fried rice, sweet & sour chicken balls, chicken with mixed vegetables, breaded jumbo shrimp & 2 egg rolls. The honey garlic spare ribs, chicken with vegetables & chicken balls are exactly the same as Chef Wok. The chicken fried rice was just ok. Chef Wok rice you get much more in the container and is better tasting. Egg rolls Chef Wok are still the best!! But as for the breaded jumbo shrimp, well Panda were totally amazing because unlike chef wok or any other place, these ARE jumbo shrimp not like the rest say jumbo but are breaded cocktail type shrimp. Would I go back hmmmmm, maybe to eat inside to sit down. So in other words our rating is just ok. Chef Wok and Channing are still the best for Chinese Food take out. They all need to improve some of their food to give any fantastic ratings in Owen Sound. Our option for this review.

I had the Pad Thai and it was amazing! The price and portion size were great. Im very picky about my Pad Thai, and it was so good. I recommend asking for peanuts on top and adding their hot sauce and soy sauce to take it over the top. I always add these toppings to my Pad Thai. Yummy! Side note: they are so friendly!

Went here with a friend after passing by randomly, and decided to pop in cause Owensound doesn t get many new spots. Super happy with pricing and the food. We sat in, service was super fast, and food was putting the local Chinese spots to shame unfortunately (chef wok and yummy yummy). Honestly I hope this place blows up and garners more attention because this is exactly what this town needs.
