Panda Garden, A Haven For Good Food and Good TImes

"This has been a favorite since the 1980’s. My coworkers and I would do the lunch specials but now I can enjoy dinners !! Go to dishes are Imperial Shrimp, almond chicken, chicken lo mein and Mongolian Beef. We love the Moo Shiu Pork but we always get the Hot Sour Soup to start. Not salty. Lots of flavor. Great value for the price with decent portions." - Patty Thompson

We look forward to serving you!

Customer Reviews

It's hard to find good Chinese food in San Diego. We were up in San Marcos and saw the 5 star reviews and had to stop in. This is a family business and they treat you well! Our food was delicious and we will be back. The Sweet & Sour pork was tangy and cooked perfectly. The Kung Pao Chicken was also very tasty. You have to love that their fried egg rolls are crispy & hot! See you again soon!

I previously worked in San Marcos and Panda Garden was a frequent lunch spot for my team. Known for it's hearty lunch specials and have all different options for everyone. I almost always got the Sweet and Sour Chicken or the Spicy Honey Chicken. This always came with Egg Drop Soup with some wontons as a starter. Then rice and an egg roll with the main entree. Always satisfied after leaving and really fast service.
