	Reviewed by : Chris_Wiliams93 On: 7/14/2013 9:59:28 PM I just <3 Your Food
	Reviewed by : jltanner96 On: 5/20/2013 12:34:34 PM I sent my daughters to pick up food and the people had the worst customer service we have ever experienced!!!! VERY CONDESCENDING AND RUDE!!!!
	Reviewed by : Ben N. On: 3/28/2013 1:42:00 AM I get the impression that the food here is all made ahead, just waiting for the right neon colored sauce to be ladled on. I've seen phone in ordered show up in 5-10 minutes.In the days when I would actually go here for lunch, the "Top 10 USA Today" thing was new. We would joke about how did they get that rating? It makes no sense to me, because this food pales in quality to even a chain like Ling & Louie's or PF Chang's.
	Reviewed by : Timmy L. On: 2/5/2013 11:14:00 PM Been here a few times. Food quality is good. Service is fast and friendly. Interior is plain and boring. Bunch of booths. Good for take outs and a quick bite.

	Reviewed by : u_c_its_me On: 3/19/2013 5:51:18 PM Your food is delicious, but your on-line menu does not show any prices of the dishes. Why is that?
	Reviewed by : akpiggy On: 3/13/2013 12:58:22 AM The website is misleading and false. No prices means they charge you inflated prices. Meats of various kinds are substituted for chicken and beef. Pretty sure there are no cats or dogs any where around thier kitchen.
	Reviewed by : Luvmee87 On: 3/10/2013 12:38:02 AM This place use to be good along time ago. I can't believe they are top 100. It must been years and years ago reward. They went totally down hill with there food but the price keep going up. Not worth my money anymore.
	Reviewed by : ellbob44 On: 1/24/2013 10:07:39 PM I called the Panda to place an order for a lovely man who broke his ankle and wanted to place an order to Panda and pay with a debit Card as i am from the state of CT and wanted to have it delivered to the person and they right out told me that they would not let me do that and i just dont understand why not . i then called another Chinese restranunt and they were wonderfull in Anchorage Alaska . so now panda has lost a great patron whom has been ther very often and will now go with another . I just want to say Ty for being so rude to me when i tried to place a very nice takeout order with yo Pand .trust me i would never want to visit you when i do move to Anchorage .
	Reviewed by : we3kids1 On: 1/24/2013 8:52:00 PM Have been ordering their food for a long time and the last time we ordered, it came in smaller boxes instead of the lunch containers but that isn't why I am writing this. I broke my leg so my girlfriend ordered food for me and tried to order using her credit card. The man said they didn't take orders over the phone using a credit card which I have done numerous times. The bottom line is the gentleman was very rude and hung up on her and would not take her card. I will never order from them again.. We ordered China Lights and the portions were much bigger and better food....
	Reviewed by : little_bit39 On: 1/22/2013 12:24:18 AM I went in to dine at the restaurant and the ladies were rude and snappy from the moment I walked in. 10 minutes from ordering, everything was paper bagged and ready to go to my confusion. The Mongolian beef I ordered was mushy and had no spice, the fried rice was not fried, rather it was steamed with oils sprayed on. I would dodge this restaurant, it's terrible
	Reviewed by : firenice09 On: 1/15/2013 9:26:37 PM That was great! I was slighty worried because of a bad delivery experience once, but now I can say,..Nice Job on the whole package of service, delivery and incredible tasting food.
	Reviewed by : K_sch_03 On: 12/22/2012 10:00:34 PM The customer service was HORRIBLE!! While I we were still eating the lady came by and starting picking up our food and then kept asking for our card! I then said that we weren't finished yet. She appologized and put our plate back. Then when we paid for our food she then rang up the wrong price. Not only that, she did not refresh our drinks through out the whole meal!
	Reviewed by : amberramos1980 On: 11/7/2012 12:29:18 AM its not number 1, but its pretty good. half the bad comments dont really make sense of the food that i get from panda. as for the prices. they change more than the website can be updated. an average cost of a chinese meal is about 13.95$. doesnt make sense to dislike for not having prices. maybe going in and getting a menu will help with that. good job panda keep it up
	Reviewed by : foodsucks On: 11/4/2012 1:10:17 AM Been eating at Panda for years and it used to be great, but now it sucks the big one! First it took 1 1/2 hours to get to us..it finally arrived 1/2 hour before we left work for home and of all things...the delivery driver solicited a tip after taking too long to deliver and he lied...the food was colder than the ice in Barrow! The chicken chow mein had dry noodles and the chicken tasted like crap. For the amount of money we paid...I really believe we got the bottom of the bowl because the amount of food was next to nothing..or maybe there was not enough cats and dogs around the place to get our money's worth. Overall...SUCKS THE BIG ONE!
	Reviewed by : Firenice09 On: 10/22/2012 9:28:27 PM A very disappointing evening. Ordered at 7pm, called at 7:50 only to find my order had slipped through the cracks. 8:15 delivery guy calls me twice to ask about my street address. (I live 5minutes from Panda come on! I cancelled at this point.
	Reviewed by : michelle.merrington On: 10/17/2012 8:21:53 PM If something places an order, then moments later cancels it due to the in unsatisfaction of their brief visit and you already brought out the drinks but we did Not touch them nor no longer want them, you have NO right to tell them you have to pay for the drinks. We do not. The waste IS your problem, not ours. Considering I am a shift manager at a franchise, I'm pretty sure I know wether I have to pay or not. I am lost where you honestly thought you had the right to order me to pay for the sodas, then tell me that it the waste of them isn't your problem, it's our situation. You're very much wrong.
	Reviewed by : rose_aj13 On: 10/4/2012 9:41:53 PM Delivery was terrible. Once the guy got here, it was a hour since I called and the food was completely cold. Never going to get delivery again. And the food was so-so.
	Reviewed by : t.payne On: 10/2/2012 1:31:17 PM I used to live in Anchorage and when we had to move, I was SO sad that I would be able to eat at Panda anymore!! We would eat there sometimes 3 times a week. The staff knew us by name and always knew what we were gonna order. I would do anything to have some Panda. I can't find a Chinese restaurant that even comes close!!
	Reviewed by : housler42 On: 9/28/2012 11:20:10 PM I ordered two chinese specials and the website says it comes with soup, egg roll and your choice of steamed rice or pork fried rice. Our dinner did not come with the soup as advertised. Called the restaurant and said it dont come with soup...
	Reviewed by : darkdad42 On: 9/7/2012 1:23:26 PM Been getting lunch there for years and food contuinues to go dowhhill. Just got Mongolian beef and not sure exactly what they are using place of beef. Mushy something with no consistency. Portion size keeps getting smaller but price doesn't. Too bad, this place used to be pretty good. I'm done

	Reviewed by : traveller On: 8/3/2012 12:30:08 AM I travel a great deal and have eaten at many restaurants. I am also Chinese. I have a hard time believing the food at this place is in the top 100. It was literally inedible - it was so bad I could not finish it.
	Reviewed by : lorifischer214 On: 7/16/2012 1:22:46 PM Requst for "exrta spicy" Mongolian barbecue was agreed to but the result was actually quite bland. Bare minimum effort on sweet sour pork, no vegetables at all, taste of old, used frying oil. The person taking the order argued over difference between 'Mandarin style'
	Reviewed by : klynee3 On: 7/11/2012 7:54:55 PM I have been coming into your restaraunt or ordering takeout for mamy years and then tonight, I received my order that I placed via the telephone on 07/11/12 @5:59pm. I ordered 2 DINNERS, the Deluxe Vegetables w/Shrimp and the Almond Chicken both with steamed rice. According to YOUR website menu, I should have received an eggroll and soup with each dinner, what I received instead was 2 a-la-carte dinners. After 2 phones calls back to your restaurant and NO satisfaction...just a lot of arguing....YOU will not receive my business any more.
	Reviewed by : jselzler On: 4/1/2012 1:47:40 PM tea was lukewarm and no taste. fried rice and almond chicken was excellent in taste and appearance but luke warm. tea cup was not clean, windows (inside) were filthy with soil - outside can understand but definitely had not been cleaned for a long time. Serving quick but given bill at same time food came so felt rushed though there were tables open. Won't return due to lukewarm food and lack of cleanliness
	Reviewed by : mollyminky76 On: 3/10/2012 7:14:13 PM I have enjoyed the Panda for over 10 years. I am happy that you now have a website with a menu. Prices definetly need to be added and if I were your web administrator, I would edit out the comments that contain profanity. The food is delicious, consistent and there is something for everyone's taste in my family. I hope you continue to grow and have many more successes.

	Reviewed by : pqs_koz On: 2/12/2012 1:57:44 PM The food was good, but I don't like the fact that they don't bring enough change with them. I think thats the way they get more money by not bringing any change and saying they don't got any change. Thats a lot of bull. I will inform family and friends, also not order from there anymore!
	Reviewed by : www.plz_dont_eat_here On: 2/11/2012 8:48:18 PM when ordering take out it seems like it cost more then when dinning in that's maybe why they don't have prices on there menu they have over priced me many times
	Reviewed by : cdj.83 On: 2/4/2012 1:17:56 AM I ordered 1 chicken teriyaki and 1 kalbi rib which was $28, they charged my card for $42. I asked for a receipt, so they emailed me a receipt which was for $35. I went on my account took my phone and took a pic and emailed it back, they said no email, no picture, after they got it, they said it was tip. They could have atleast given me a free egg roll or something. Oh not to mention they went to spring hill when Im at quality suites, I waited almost 2 hrs. Never ordering from them ever again. I'll stick going out to eat.
	Reviewed by : daffodil On: 1/12/2012 3:49:57 PM I've been going to Panda pretty regularly up until a year ago or so. My favorite dish was the Shrimp with Lobster sauce. It was the only thing I ever ordered there for about 8 years. Today I picked up my lunch and dinner, as I would be working late and ordered Shrimp w/Lobster sauce and Almond Chicken lunch specials.Both looked fabulous, but when I began to eat the Shrimp w/Lobster sauce I was dumbfounded on the lack of taste!! It looked great and I was soo excited to have it after such a long time but it was absolutely tasteless. Disheartened I threw it away and tried the Almond Chicken and so thankful I had actually ordered something else. The Almond Chicken saved my faith in Panda, but now I'm forever cautious on that Shrimp dish. Hope it is improved upon in the near future or I just may have to find another place that makes it as good as Panda used to. Oh, and the friend rice was very odd.....a few cubed carrots and peas, with a little yellow food coloring? That can't pass for Fried Rice anywhere, or at least it shouldn't..... :-(
	Reviewed by : rubert On: 1/1/2012 5:29:55 PM food smelled and tasted like cigarette smoke. i Know they smoke in the kitchen. i walked in the back door one day and yes they all had a butt hanging out of there mouth.
	Reviewed by : cbeakley On: 12/23/2011 5:40:22 PM I like the food but get frustrated when I have to sit on hold for over 10 minutes. That alone will have me calling somewhere else for dinner.

	Reviewed by : sweet_hart203 On: 10/23/2011 4:56:10 PM today was my first time ordering from panda. the food was blah and greasy. then the won ton soup had a freaking bug in it. looked,like a centipede or something. I called for a refund and all they said they could do was credit me for the soup. I am one pissed off customer.
	Reviewed by : baybie_phat89 On: 9/22/2011 7:27:29 PM Loved the food, so amazing it changed my thinking on chinese food forever!
	Reviewed by : greeneyedladyx2 On: 9/15/2011 3:01:01 PM The only positive thing I can say is the delivery was quick, the food however was bland and greasy. Major dissapointment, so much so I don't think I'll try it again. :(
	Reviewed by : 911Alaska On: 8/23/2011 4:12:34 PM You need to check your web page ad, it looks great but Sears Mall is spelled Sars mall, then Top100 should be Top 100. Your food is great just want your web page to be great too!
