| - I absolutely love Chinese food so I knew I had to try out Singing Pandas as soon as possible after I saw it come up on Yelp! The front parking lot was only about half full when we went there around 8pm (an hour before they closed) on a Friday but the restaurant was still really busy. We were greeted and taken to a table fairly quickly, and then given a couple of water cups and time to browse the menu.
My boyfriend got the Lucky Buddha beer to drink and the Mongolian Beef to eat, per recommendation of our waitress, and I got my usual pick at Chinese places, Kung Pao Chicken. We upgraded to egg fried rice for $1 extra each. It didn't take too long for the food to come and everything smelled so good! I had only a couple of bites of the Mongolian Beef but it was really tasty. The sauce was definitely the best part of the dish, and the beef was really well cooked. I thought it it tasted good with the onions and scallions. My boyfriend really enjoyed this dish. The Kung Pao chicken was good too with chopped onions, bell peppers, zucchini, and peanuts. It was only a little bit spicy and more so just really flavorful. Both dishes had just the right amount of sauce to mix with the fried rice! Yum.
Looking around the restaurant, it seemed like there was a variety of dishes ordered. From everything I saw, it looked great and smelled even better! My only recommendation is: skip the fried rice. $1 isn't much but it wasn't worth the cost as it pretty much just tasted like white rice with a splash of soy sauce. Like I previously mentioned, the dishes had enough sauce so getting plain white rice would have been just fine.
The service was spot on throughout the time we were there. Our waitress as well as other waitresses came by to check on us a few times. I'll definitely be back to dine-in or grab a take-out order.
