    Dinner was okay

    The food was okay and not something extraordinary. They provide a large serving of dishes. So my advice is to order less number of dishes

    Dinner

    We are all locals, but haven't eaten here in a couple of years. The pu-pu platter was greasy. The ma-la scallops were average. The Schezsan chicken was dry without any veggies. Just not worth going, especially with several Asian restaurants within a couple of blocks.

    Good food and service

    This is a better than average Chinese restaurant. The only strange thing I found was in a chicken dish, the cut up chicken had the skin on it making it sort of slimy texturewise.

    This is the best authentic Chinese restaurant here

    TripAdvisor is totally wrong, this is best authentic Chinese restaurant around here. Forget about those America Chinese food , Japanese Chinese food, they are not authentic. This is taste like china town flushing.

    Or any night of the week is a decent night for Panda East. The food is pretty but the scorpion bowls are even better. The service is on point, especially with all of the college students on Thursdays and Fridays.
