Crema's Take
“This beloved Memphis institution has earned its loyal following over decades with consistently excellent Chinese comfort food—think perfectly balanced lo mein, standout orange chicken, and a hot and sour soup that keeps people coming back for years. The real magic is the warm, family-owned atmosphere where regulars feel equally at home whether they're grabbing a quick lunch special or settling in for a leisurely meal, and the owner Linda's genuine kindness toward every customer is woven into the restaurant's soul. Whether you're a 20-year regular or stopping by for the first time, you'll find good value, attentive service, and the kind of place that feels like a comfortable second home.”

I been coming here since i was 15 . Im 36 now. I love this place its almost like a home to me i feel so comfortable. And linda is the best. The food is so good no better wonton soup anywhere else.
I ordered the House Lo Mein at Panda Garden, and it was excellent! The noodles were cooked just right—soft but not mushy—and coated evenly in a flavorful sauce. The mix of beef, shrimp, chicken, and egg gave it a hearty balance, and each bite had plenty of protein, not just filler. The portion size was generous and definitely worth the price. I also appreciated that they served both regular and low-sodium Kikkoman soy sauce at the table, which let me season to taste without overpowering the dish. Paired with a cold glass of iced tea, it made for a satisfying meal in a comfortable, classic dine-in setting. If you’re craving a well-made, filling noodle dish, the House Lo Mein at Panda Garden is a great choice—I’d absolutely order it again!
My favorite dish is their orange chicken with beef rice noodles! Their hot & sour soup is an absolute must! Also, the people who own this restaurant are sooo kind and go above & beyond to make your experience good!💌
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.
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.
