I moved to Bluffton 1 year ago from Southern California. My life had been filled with many amazing times in the Chinatown district of Los Angeles. We would go to Hop Louies .. a location used for many movie sets on a regular basis. It was a family tradition. Jasmine tea, egg foo young, and pork fried rice. I have been looking for a Chinese restaurant since we moved here that served a good egg foo young. There were some ok experiences, but tonight - oh tonight! Panda was clean and had soft, sweet music playing.. the smells were amazing, and the service was professional and courteous. I have driven past it many times. Tonight, we stopped in. A variety of Egg Foo Young on the menu! I ordered Chicken Egg Foo Young! Husband ordered Orange Beef. We ordered pork fried rice, and white rice came with the entrees. My order was perfect. Crispy around the edges, freshly made with chicken and vegetables in a wonderful large patty. 3 large patties with brown gravy to the order. The Orange Beef was great, according to Husband. Pork fried rice was incredible, but
I've found my Egg Foo Young! I'll sample other types and other items , but honestly? This is it for me. I miss a lot from California, but the beauty and family we have here far outweigh my "other home." I have kids here and will take them to Panda to create memories for them here and tell them stories of wild nights in Hollywood and late suppers at Hop Louies. I'll also tell them that Panda's Egg Foo Young shines bright. I'm so glad we stopped in. Thank you, Panda!
Oh my god I love this place, I just got off a long day of work and ordered from this place. It was INCREDIBLE. The foods nice and hot (despite me walking back to the hotel AND taking a shower before eating it), it's incredibly saucey and flavorful, the egg rolls were perfectly crunchy, the service was amazing and fast, and I only spent 16 dollars?? You need to try this place, best Chinese food I've ever had.
One word I would use to describe my food was clean tasting ... like, it was all super fresh and healthy food where you tasted flavors and the natural textures were there. They didn’t try to over fry / oil / fatten the food to make it better, so it felt like the real food rather than what food critics call an Americanized version. The spring rolls were the perfect crunchiness and suppleness and did not fall apart, and were perfectly sized and rolled. The vegetable and bean curd soup has a flavorful, pleasant broth, the bean curd (tofu) and vegetables are perfectly cooked, and the soup warms and fills you but makes you feel brighter and fed rather than heavy and weighed down. Even the fried noodles they give you on the side were fresh, light and not over done. I will definitely be returning!
