Traveling on the 101 North I stopped for a break and found China Panda. I'm glad I found it. The reviews looked good so I went in. It was super clean and the Chinese decor was nice. The reviews suggested the eggplant dish. It was delicious! I was in time for the lunch special so I also enjoyed the hot and sour soup and fried rice with my entree. The waitress was very kind and always made herself available. The additional benefit of the restaurant was it's an easy off and easy on for the 101. I will stop by and my way back home.

Family was craving Chinese food tonight and we didn't want panda. The restaurant was empty inside, almost left thinking they were closed. Owner greeted us and sat us though, commenting it gets busier later on in the night...we opted to stay and order. Glad we did! Food came out hot, fresh, and fast! The orange chicken is awesome! Very flavorful. Big fan of the shrimp fried rice and chow mein. We ordered 4 plates to share and it was plenty for family of 4.

You're right I'm giving China Panda a 5! It deserves it. The old kind of Chinese restaurant where people served you. It wasn't cheap but the sweet and sour chicken had well done deep fried bits of chicken and a non-vinegary red sauce. For me, I hate red sauce that has that tanginess. Plenty of carrots onions and bell peppers were added. Yan had a shredded spicy potato dish. That made her happy. What's the ambiance? It's a wide open place, the place had been a Chinese restaurant for years. The old way to eat Chinese food... The waiter owner was a nice friendly guy! Try it!

China Panda 272 E Hwy 246 Ste 106 Buellton, CA 93427 (805) 688-1291 May 26, 2024. *It was our last night in Buellton, after spending the weekend in Solvang and Santa Barbara. I was craving honey walnut prawns. We were staying at Quality Inn-Buellton and the Front Desk recommended China Panda. *Located at a small strip mall. Greeted immediately with a smile. *We ordered combination chow-mein, combination fried rice, string beans in black beans sauce with beef and my favorite honey walnut prawns. Everything was delicious, compliments to the honey walnut prawns. Seasoning of the dishes were just right, not to salty, not bland, not oily as well. *Overall, great service and delicious foods.

We LOVE China Panda and go here every chance we get! This is saying a lot because we rarely go out anymore since the pandemic ended and most places' prices shot up, selections and portion sizes declined, and service became nonexistent. Not here! Portions are hearty, prices are very manageable, ambiance is great, food and service are outstanding. While we'd love to have a Chinese buffet in this area (we have to go to Santa Maria for that), we are very very satisfied with this restaurant and its people (particularly William!) working there. We always can count on a good experience, plenty of comfortable booth seating, a spacious room where customers aren't on top of each other, very convenient parking right out front, etc. We have no bad things to say!

Service was fantastic. Ambience was beautiful. Food was not too exciting a little bland for me. Maybe I'll need to order the food that is hotter.
