New Panda in Ephrata

Food was cooked perfectly and ready in only 5 to 10 minutes. Would highly recommend it.

Great food.

There's about 3 or 4 different Chinese take out places around in Ephrata. Personally, I always order from Jade House because 1) it's good and 2) it's under 10 mins away from my residence.

I ordered plain Lo Mein to eat with my bourbon chicken because that's my ultimate favorite combination and it was very good. I still prefer the...
