Panda Dumpling - San Carlos

Amazing food, good portions and affordable price! The service was also fast and great. We ordered crab meat XLB, spicy victories (the sesame sauce was thinking and amazing, and minced noodles. Everything was amazing. Din tai fung is great, but who wants to wait in a long line to get the same experience? #SupportYourLocalBusiness :

Came to Panda Dumpling for the first time after a friend recommended it to me. We sat and served very quickly, even the staff was friendly and helped us to order our meal. We all went here and ordered the hot and sour soup, pot stickers, xiao long boa, and the porcupine dumplings. Everything was so delicious! It was also very favorable. Our meals were so good that we were almost all done and remained very happy. I recommend Panda Dumpling!

RUN DON’T WALK!!! Update: Cam back for a second round, this time not hot, fewer people. Amazing food here, that's what you're looking for! Original review, to the city with a great hunger. Door advertised “climates” we knew what that would mean, it will be hot AF! We were not disappointed. Sa beside the kitchen, so it was even hotter, but we had to watch the masters at work. A few ice-cold Tsingtao helped a lot. Ordnete Spicy dumplings, Chive and Pork and Chicken. The Spicy had a peanut butter sauce, they were so-so. The Chive and Pork were excellent. Also order Mongolian Beef, excellent, but not sharp enough. Finally we found what we wanted, the steamed “flowers” with pork and soup inside, they are very hot and pop in your mouth. You are #1 in the menu, if you come here and don't order them, enter the face immediately! Hot or not, AC or heating at full load, we will be back. This place is so good that you feel bad, not all your family and friends to show them what is on. Enjoy!

The food was okay, at least for Bay Area standards. The best dish was the roasted salt and pepper fish, although it was a bit soggy to sit in the box. The taste of the food was average. But the parts were quite generous. The hot sauce they gave us was not spicy, tasted like oil!

It was so hot in here omg. The kitchen is set on the side of the building and not behind. So the heat from the kitchen goes all into the restaurant. The AC, fans, and open door could not stop us from steaming inside. It wasn't crowded, but a lot of people seemed to order to-go instead of eating inside. The food, however, was very tasty. We ordered sweet and sour fish, shanghai stir fried noodles, xiao long bao, pan fried pork buns, tofu clay pot, and rice cake with peanuts for dessert. The food came very fast and was really hot. Prices were fair and the portions were pretty good. We probably would not eat inside, but ordering to-go from here would be good.
