Baby Panda

A delightful surprise. We drive by this restaurant all the time when we are in Windsor but never stop in. We decided to give it a try this weekend and we happily satisfied. The service was excellent. I believe the owner herself was serving us. She cared a lot about this business, and she told us they serve authentic Chinese food as well as the “Canadian Chinese” food. Our meals had great portions and the food was well prepared. Service was very fast as well. All in all, a nice stop.

wow. given that Windsor isn't exactly known for its asian food, I wasn't expecting a lot walking in to Baby Panda, but man was I wrong to assume. we had Jenny as a server who gave us excellent recommendations, was extremely charming, helpful, and welcoming. one of our party ordered from the regular menu and the rest of us asked for the authentic menu, and I couldn't recommend the authentic food more! definitely ask for the other menu, it's a must. also I feel it necessary to mention there are awesome vegetarian entree options, the eggplant potato one is great. we all picked out fun exotic drinks from the fridge (again with the help of the lovely Jenny) and found TsingTao beer, which is a rare find in Nova Scotia! This is an excellent example of how you should never judge a book by its cover, because in this case the story inside is worth a read :)

Usually it’s a really reliable place, but today I got two #7’s and the chicken was so unevenly cut that there were parts of the chicken that were rock hard and others that were soft. Also the rice was chicken fried rice but there was also just random white rice mixed in. Not at all what I expected and I hope it was just an off day. I’ll try again next week I guess.
