I find myself coming here more and more often and whenever I do I always leave anywhere from a 15 to $20 tip they do excellent service theyre super nice their food is amazing and I love to see them get more customers. They take very high standards of sanitation food preparation and taste and flavor I would recommend if you like Asian food specifically Chinese food to try this place if I could give a six out of five or an 11 out of 10 this is hands down my favorite place to go. My order will always be the broccoli beef the barbecue pork and their noodles I also get the wonton soup and the egg drop soup very rich in flavor very filling and always good for a small party.

Exactly what you would want from a Chinese food restaurant. Delicious food with generous portions. Good prices and very friendly staff. Always very clean when I go there and even when there is a line they have quick service.

The food tastes authentic to me. My mouth gets watery when I am typing this review. The staffs are welcoming and friendly. I love the way that they push as much as food into the box as possible. I dunno if they are just pretending they are but they REALLY make me feel satisfied when they do it.

Great Chinese to-go spot! Large portions, excellent food, friendly staff, and all at an excellent price! They told me theyve been here for almost 40 years. Wish Id found them sooner. I highly recommend! They give you so much food that they have to use an extra container for the 3 item combo!!

I am not from this area but wanted Chinese food and this is where we went. I ordered a 1 item plate with rice, chow mein and orange chicken. My husband ordered a 2 item plate with rice, chow mein, teriyaki chicken and egg rolls. I also ordered fried wontons. The orange chicken wasnt even orange! It was a grayish color and did not have any flavor. Nothing had flavor! It was all bland. The wontons werent even good and they dont have sweet and sour! Needless to say, we wasted money and we are still hungry!

Soda from machine are all flat, I ordered combo c : tangerine chicken( shall I say white chicken ) nasty wierd looking, plain no flavor, teriyaki chicken was dry almost tasted like teriyaki, broccoli beef was the only thing worth having again ( IMHO ) Chow mein was okay mainly just chewy..

I should’ve believed the bad reviews!! Very disappointing I ordered the spicy chicken and the chicken tasted old or maybe they mixed up leftover chicken cause it had a refrigerated taste to it. I wanted the orange chicken but it looked white with no sauce so I skipped it and got the fried shrimp it was cold and definitely frozen boxed shrimp. Never agai!! I threw it all out!!. I should’ve listen to a reviewer that said, Panda Express is right down the street and much much better!!

I used to come here a lot. But after multiple times of getting stale tasting chicken and vegetables. I stopped coming here. Only consistently good thing is their fried, sweet-and-sour fish, and the red bean balls.

This place has great food. Always has. But when being served you want the older lady. If you get the younger lady she is less friendly and she is not at all as generous. The older lady gives you your moneys worth, but the younger one barely fills your container. Good luck there is only 2 of them! Lol

Review №12

2022-05-08 22:01:17

Awful experience. I came for a combo and I don’t eat noodles or rice so I wanted them to switch it to vegetables. Apparently they don’t substitute vegetables for the chow mein or rice. Not only did they charge me for the combo before I got my food but they gave me a very hard time to get a refund. Lady was very rude and almost threatened me by saying “never do that again or else” They don’t have any signs up saying they don’t do substitutions and if I had already paid they should have made an exception and told me for next time.

This place used to be good. Today, I went there for lunch. The chicken was cold on the inside, it tasted like refrigerator, it was hard, & I couldnt chew it. I knew immediately it was reheated. Serving customers food from the day before is disgusting! I will never go there again.

The wonton soup tastes very good

Review №15

2018-01-05 04:35:22

Not TOO Americanized, offer chow mein AND rice noodles and the cooks are even Asian! The Mongolian beef had slight smokiness that made it my favorite so far. The first thing I tried here was the pepper chicken and I tasted both pepper and chicken instead of that fake flavoring sort of taste. Personally I would prefer some stronger flavors overall, but I havent had anything I didnt like so far. I think I like orange chicken over tangerine chicken, but the tangerine chicken is good. Not overly sauced or chewy, the chicken is tender. I think I like the rice noodles over the chow mein. They have less oil. Ive also tried the black bean chicken and I think the green bean chicken. So far, the food has a fresher, real food taste to it compared to most places. It doesnt TASTE prepackaged/pre-prepared, even if it is, and it makes a great lunch stop.

Ordered and paid for two plates with three entrees, but the ladies were laughing and not paying attention. They were rushing and being very short when taking my order. I assumed when she closed the container my items were in there. Very unprofessional.

Nice and you must try sweet and sour fish. Egg soup is also tasty and warm. Nice stop for workday lunch.

Review №18

2022-09-22 01:03:45

Never again. This place food has no flavor at all. The only thing that gave it flavor was the teriyaki. My chicken was grey. My wifes orange chicken wasnt even orange. The sweet and sour sauce was literally duck sauce. No sweet and sour pork. Like seriously what Chinese food place doesnt have sweet and sour pork. Anyway save yourself a trip.

The hot sauce they offer is terrible it’s super vinegary awful ruins the entire meal they need to go back to the original hot sauces . Terrible hot sauce they give you .

Service was great, but the food was extremely disappointing. We got the tangerine chicken, teriyaki chicken and beef/broccoli. The tangerine chicken had no flavor, was cold, and mushy. The teriyaki chicken was oily, and cold just like the tangerine chicken. The beef and broccoli was warm, but very chewy and I only had about 4 pieces of broccoli. The portions are good, but compared to other restaurants that offer the same type of food just bland food all around. Id go elsewhere.

Arrived early before lunch. Food was cold even though I ate it right away. Rice was way overcooked. Tangerine chicken was ok taste but slimy and cold. Chow mein was best part but also cold. Panda express is close by and is better in my experience.

Review №24

2021-01-08 00:35:30

Great spot with the best bang for your buck Ive ever seen! If you think you can eat a 2 item combo because other chains have skimped on ingredients, you will be in for quite a shock. R.P. doesnt hold back in the least. A 2 item combo will easy be a 2 meal combo for most people. And the food tasted great! The spicy pork chop is a personal favorite of mine. Great flavor and nice spice. Staff is friendly and the prices are NUTS for the amount of food. I love this place and try to get here as often as I can

Been coming here off and on nearly 20 years. The food over the last 3 years is just not good. I didnt finish my food last visit and just tossed it. Staff are okay, slight communication issues. They stop preparing food around 8, so come in early if you want something cause they will likely run out the closer it gets to closing. I personally wont be coming back anytime soon. Much better food can be found across the parking lot. Lots of parking, easy to get to. Accessible parking, entrance, counter and seating (during non-COVID times).

Unfortunately I had to throw my whole plate away since the teriyaki chicken was almost just fat which gross me out. $8 and some change wasted.

Review №28

We have been coming year since the late 1990s. They are consistently tasty and no chance of starving! My roommate, who is not a big fan of chicken in general but their teriyaki chicken is his MUST-HAVE. I am partial to their spicy pork chop.You really wont go wrong trying anything there; just be advised that there will be sufficient leftovers for an entire meal!

Royal Panda is awesome, I wish we had a Royal Panda where I live now. The portions are huge and the food is fresh! Ive seen the ladies in there peeling green beans themselves, and the chefs make the sauce there, so I assume a lot of the food there is fresh and made in house. The service is just the way I like it, I dont need someone to kiss my feet, just put the food on my plate and get me through the line. Love this place! Would eat here a couple times a week and never disappointed!!

Review №31

2017-08-05 20:13:15

2020-02-23 00:13:58

There is no flavor in the food at all, I tried the beef and broccoli, chicken teriyaki, sweet and sour chicken, fried rice, egg roll and a crab rangoon. I did not like any of it, this is my first time having bad chinese food. My husband also agrees with this review. We do not recommended this food and will not go back.

Review №33

The prices of food had risen like anywhere else, but the price increases arent as bad. Also, the quality of food hasnt changed much.

Though the entreé choices are a bit limited compared to the chain store up the street named Panda Express, they do give you more food, larger servings overall for your hard-earned $$$ (dollars).

The service was excellent, people were great & the portions were generous! Although the food wasnt terrible, it was bland. The artificially red colored pork tasted like nothing Id ever had.

2019-10-28 20:35:48

Love this place! I used to be a regular, but then we moved 100 miles away. Now every trip north we MUST stop by for a fix. Spicy Pork Chop is to die for.

Review №39

2019-08-08 22:16:23

Terrible, I took my granddaughter we were the only ones there and the two ladies are behind the counter and didnt even help us. 10 minutes we stood there waiting, the food was terrible the place is dirty dont recommend this place to anybody. The girl that was handling the food was also handling the money without washing her hands.

Review №40

2018-07-04 10:24:58

I’ve been going there for more than 10 years… I agree that the food there is good but the service is horrible. As far as I remember they always have been rude, so I think its about time that I should start going somewhere else even if the food might not be as good.

Review №41

2021-01-24 00:23:24

Delicious food and reasonably priced. Also they were willing to customize a soup order me to exclude peas. Not many places wil do that for you.

Review №42

2020-01-24 20:44:10

Weve nicknamed this place The Bulk Chinese Place because the servings are gigantic. Hungry for Chinese and dont want to spend a bunch on yummy food? This is the place to go. Get the 2 item combo and youll be all set.

I am addicted to their Wor Wonton soup, beef, chicken, shrimp and veggies. It is made to order, but worth the wait. Try calling it in before you leave to save some time.
