About
Convenience Meets Comfort in Kaimuki
When you are navigating the bustle of Waialae Avenue in the heart of Kaimuki, finding a quick, reliable meal is essential. This location serves up the familiar menu that has turned American-Chinese staples into a household standard. Whether you are grabbing a post-work box or fueling up before heading toward Diamond Head, the scent of sizzling ginger and soy sauce provides an immediate olfactory welcome as you walk through the doors.
Signature Flavors on the Go
The star of the show remains the Original Orange Chicken. You will find the kitchen staff tossing the crispy, battered bites in that signature sweet and tangy glaze, a process that happens continuously throughout the lunch and dinner rushes. For those looking for a bit more heat, the Kung Pao Chicken offers a crunch from peanuts and a bite from dried chili peppers that pairs perfectly with their steamed brown rice or chow mein.
The Local Experience
The dining area is efficient and functional, tailored for those who need a satisfying meal without the wait of a full-service sit-down establishment. It functions as a perfect pit stop for families or students from nearby schools looking for a familiar bite. Be prepared for a bit of a challenge when finding parking during peak evening hours, as the lot here can get quite active. Despite the tight maneuvering, the speed of service ensures your meal stays hot and ready to enjoy, whether you choose to eat at the communal tables or take your order to go.

Panda continues to raise prices and cutting portions of food items. Not worth it for an $11.20 bowl when cheat on the portions. I’ve eaten there at least twice a week not any more. Today I ordered a bowl but asked for my money back.

This time around the food was okay. I guess it’s because we came here an hour before closing time. We had to wait for the chow mein. When the server gave us our food she just handed to us with no bag, napkin, utensils and sauce. Hubby got the 2 item entree and tried to tell the server he wanted 3 items instead but guess she did not understand. He ended up getting just 2 items because of the miscommunication. There were a few tables you dine there. We’ve been to this local and did not have any issues.

3/2023 Didn't take a pic of my plate because I woofed it down, but, like any other Panda I've been to, they rock it. I'm particularly glued to the wok masters when I go, but the upfront service is ALWAYS quick, courteous, friendly, and helpful. It would have to be considering the amount of volume they do. Keep up the great work in these challenging times. I'll try and remember to take a pic of my food next time before I devour my food. 😉🤙✌️ 7/2023 Winnie, July, and Anna, very QSR savvy. They're quick, courteous, and efficient, just how you have to be in today's world of food service. Always a go-to at some point in the month. 3 choice dinner for $12.50, you're foolish if you go anywhere else regularly. Great work, including the two hard-working chefs! 😉🙏💪🤙✌️ 1/2024 Still kicking it in the New Year! Live the grub!! 😉🤙✌️
