Panda Garden

I use to LOVE coming to Panda Garden. After Korea House closed, it’s one of the few places here in Lincoln that I could order Korean Food. My most favorite meal being the Korean Short Ribs, served with white rice & Korean side dishes (typically Kimchi, seaweed salad, etc.) My last visit 4 visits have been disappointing. When the husband of the eatery is cooking, the food is hot, seasoned & usually very good. He always gives a decent amount of side dishes, along with the main dish. I’ve attached photos of the amount of Kimchi I received after paying $17 for my short rib meal. The wife of the shop is so stingy when it comes to giving side dishes out, and her cooking is always rushed with poor quality. There was no “juice” or “sauce” on my short ribs, just dry, bland meat. I paid $17 for my meal and she piled my side dish container with some sort of spicy potatoes, mixed with jalapeños? I went looking for my kimchi, the best pairing with short ribs & rice. The amount I received with my $17 is ridiculous. I suppose that I should’ve paid an extra $2 to receive a decent amount. I understand times are tough, and I don’t mind paying up for a good meal. Kimchi is relatively inexpensive to make, there is no excuse not to provide customers with an amount that reflects the price of the “meal” that doesn’t even include a drink.

Awesome place hot food steam coming right off plates never got cold while eating nice owners and good prices unfortunately was wanting to have kimchi bar but covid 19 ruined that right now I will return again I had the tofu lo mein my mom had the panda garden lo mein(beef,chicken,shrimp) both loved it and soup was amazing $1.25 for cup of soup best egg drop I had in a long time and free hot tea I hope they don't remove that

I've gone here for so many years since I was a little girl. The food is always so comforting and delicious. I do think they should focus on specializing in only Korean food as the couple that owns this place is from Korean decent as to my knowledge. I have never gotten chinese food here but I do know that their Korean options never disappointment. Come here if you want actual good food!
