"panda inn is part of the panda restaurant group inc. who. yes, they think it is panda express a subsidiary. Of course, this should be a formal culinary experience. there opened the first restaurant in pasadena, about 1973 by andrew and master chef chef Ming-Tsai cherng. according to panda inns website everything began with its vision to create timeless mandarin and Szechwan dishes with an innovative style. I think it is definitiw innovatiw. if they know food, then they know that Szechwan dishes for its seasoned, heat-treated are highly regarded! something that most Americans cannot take, unless his tabasco! soo the cherng were smart enough to create a fusion and adapt to their new environment. they serve on the basis of their apron, in contrast to szechwan feeding seasoning. we came for a family meeting of a lost loved one, it did not take long until the server begin to bring out the eating. they were fast and friendly. I enjoyed the decor and noticed a full bar. lo my – 4/5 beef in oyster sauce- 5/5 sooo good, I made some of the next week fish in black bean sauce – 5/5 glad the soße was not all fish crushed or it would have been soggy. baked rice – 5/5 white rice – 4/5 orange chicken – 4/5 I would rather have the panda express version."
