Yuk!. Quite possibly the worst Chinese I've had in the US. Their menu is largely Mandarin ... lots of white sauces, even on their "spicy Szechuan" dishes. Half the menu is Thai dishes, lemongrass, Pad Thai, coconut milk, lemongrass, curry... yuk, I came here for Chinese!

Their Szechuan dishes aren't even close, and they have no Hunan. The owner told me the only difference between their KungPao Chicken and their Cashew Chicken is one has cashews and the other peanuts. He wasn't kidding, their KungPao is a flavorless mild sauce. Their breaded dishes, like Sesame Beef and Szechuan Beef are awful; the meat is undercooked and chewy; the breading is soggy and pasty.

Unfortunately they are 4 blocks away, and the nearest good Chinese is 4 miles away, so I eat here every couple of months for the past 4 years .... when I am desperate for Chinese and don't want to drive for 45 minutes. They do get points for consistency; the food has been tastless, undercooked, and soggy for 4 years.

Great Food, Great Service. Appetizers were really good. I had the cream cheese crab wong tongs---delich. Dinner was really good, quick service, sometimes over helpful, but didn't leave us waiting for anything else. I thought the Thai Tea would be similar to Chai Tea....no, was orange in color and totally disgusting!! My bad for ordering it. This place is very clean, friendly & prompt staff, great food. Good place to have a casual dinner.

The Go-To place for quick Chinese Food.. Me and my brother used to order sweet and sour chicken and chow mein from here alll the time. They always give you a quick delivery time on the phone, and then show up ten minutes early. How excellent is that?

I love Chinese food, I've tried all the places Ive run into in the Hillsboro area, and this place hands down dominates sweet and sour chicken. Nobody comes close.

Pretty tasty. While shopping in Tanasbourne, a worker at one of the stores had Happy Panda delivered and it smelled so wonderful we had to ask what she was eating. She told us and gave us the info so we drove over( less than 2 miles) from the shops and really enjoyed what we had. We tried the bbq pork appetizer which is made from white meat pork loin. It was not too saucy and very lean. The soup was just okay which is typical. It is either great or fair. I would not fill up on soup anyway because the entrees were fab ! We tried the special of chicken ( all white meat - yeah !) and asparagus. Very flavorful and nice quantity of both ingrediants. We also had the beef and broccoli which was made with tender, lean beef and big pieces of the broccoli crown. We asked for it a little spicy and they gave us just enough heat without overdoing it.

Awesome food. Oh, and the menu says no MSG which shows the skill and flavors the chef creates on his own. If you are in the area I say go ! I am sure you will enjoy it

Best Sweet & Sour Chicken We've Found in the Area. Our family likes the sweet & sour chicken the best. The service is fast and the wait staff is good and very family friendly and the atmosphere is nice. The only drawbacks are the water and the soda. The water is tap and tastes horrible. And the last time I ordered Diet Coke it tasted like diet cola, but not Diet Coke. That said, I still recommend Happy Panda.

Terrible food. The food was bad, the hot and sour soup was awful, I didn't eat it. The Broccoli beef was salty but otherwise tasteless food. Would not recommend nor go back myself.

Worst Chinese food ever!. We ate here a few years ago and were unimpressed. With all the good reviews, we decided to give it a try for take-out since its close by. Without a doubt, this is the worst Chinese food we've ever had. The sweet and sour chicken was soggy, the beef and broccoli sauce poured like water, and the beef fried rice was dry. The preparation was very quick, but the food was like it had been sitting for an hour.

Best General' tso Chicken. Our family love going there, The food comes out quick and the price are very reasonable. The chicken dishs they cook are white meat. I am a white meat chicken lover.

General Tso's chicken and Crab woonton are my favor. kung pao chicken asked for extra spicy.

must try...
