"Formerly one of two Panda's restaurants, this elegant and almost pathologically busy little restaurant in Interbay is now run by a husband-and-wife team who are making it more "pan" than ever. Thus, the magnificent mu shus and kung pao chicken and homemade noodles have been joined by Thai satays, Malaysian curries, and a small supermarket of "Asian Tortillas". Such experimentation succeeds with dishes such as tuna, mahi-mahi, jasmine rice, and spiced with curry and mango chutney. But the old faves, such as the veggie chow mein and the sesame orange beef, keep winning points. Pandasia's takeout is as efficient as ever, and while price tags are a little steeper than some, serving sizes make up for the difference."

"The next time you make your way to Magnolia, take note of this stylish little restaurant in Interbay.It was originally opened as one of the
two Panda's restaurants; now it
is its own kingdom, run by a husband-and-wife team who renamed it and expanded the already long menu to reflect the "pan" part of the name. Thus the superb nu-shus, kung pao chicken, and homemade noodles are joined by Thai satays, Malaysian curries, and a small supermarket of "Asian tortillas." We like some of the recent additions, such as the elegant game-fish tortilla, laden with swordfish, tuna, mahi-mahi, and jasmine rice, and flavored with curry and mango chutney. But it's hard to avoid backsliding into ordering old favorites that still ring true, such as the veggie chow mein, which stars those wonderful thick noodles; or the sesame orange beef, a crispy, extra sesame, deep-fried concoction that is as decadent as ever. Pandasia's take-out is extremely efficient. They specialize in large group orders and can put together a "flash buffet" at a moment's notice. Delivery is free within a certain area. note that dishes are a little pricier than those at other Chinese restaurants, but they're well worth the extra coin. plus servings are very large."

"What was once Panda's is now Pandasia. But that's the only change you'll find at this neighborhood Chinese hot spot. The sight of steaming pot stickers, plates of rich orange beef, and sautéed eggplant in a spicy sauce has been known to tempt customers into ordering too much. It's hard to go wrong with the extensive menu, and even harder to find a time when the line of waiting customers isn't spilling out the door. Somehow Pandasia handles a busy take-out and delivery service as well. The same terrific specialties are at both locations: mu-shu pork with homemade pancakes perfectly cooked, dry sautéed green beans with almonds; a stand-out General Tso's chicken, which quietly explodes inside the mouth with tender meat and vibrant seasoning. There are almost 100 dishes from which to choose."
