Panda Bowl Restaurant in Arlington

Panda Bowl is our go-to Chinese takeout place. They're very quick and the food is always to our liking with big portions. If you do pickup, the parking lot is very cramped and difficult to get in/out of, but that's never stopped us from getting food there!

This is probably the best Chinese food on Columbia Pike. The meat is fresh and tender. I assume it's primarily rescue dogs and stray cats. Not tough at all. I don't see any cages out back so probably a fresh catch daily. I do see a lot of missing pet posters around.I order here probably once a week. Keep up the good work! Thanks!

I ordered from Panda Bowl Restaurant for the first time. To be honest I was a little wary. Chinese restaurants with Panda in their names are normally hit or miss with me. But I ordered the Sweet and Sour Shrimp, the Spicy Steamed Shrimp, and the Spring Rolls (2). I ordered the Spicy Shrimp at the Medium level of spice not knowing what THEY thought that the medium level of spiciness was. Always have to be careful about that. The delivery was delivered in a reasonable amount of time and the driver was well mannered.The Springs Rolls were HOT. Very, very, hot. The Sweet and Sour Shrimp was still warm. And the Spicy Steamed Shrimp was at room temperature. It wasn’t rare. It had been cooked. It was just room temperature. And to Panda Bowl medium means almost no spice. I have had potato chips with more spice than these shrimp.Also while the Sweet and Sour Shrimp was good I, at one point, checked to make sure it WAS Shrimp. Because Panda Bowl’s Sweet and Sour Shrimp also tastes like Sweet and Sour Chicken.Now the delivery also came with two plates, a couple of forks, two fortune cookies, napkins, and sauce packets. Which is good. But I still feel I should take away two stars. It wasn’t bad. I didn’t get sick or anything. Just not really great either. Just...okay.
