Panda Express is always a treat. The food is hot and tasty, the environment is clean and inviting. It is located next to Super King, our wonderful neighborhood market, and the 24 Hour Fitness gym! Parking can be tough, but there is dedicated parking in the lot near the front door.

No carts, but check-off sheets for what you want and the servers are wired so they are calling in your order even as they walk to ring it up. Food arrives as it is prepared: piping hot, dish by dish. Because we know our way around dim sum, we stuck to the traditional items on the menu: shrimp dumplings, pork dumplings, etc, and tried the fried carrot dumping, surprisingly delicious. Our party of four ordered WAY too much because they believe in the entree type of order. We also split two soups: the hot and sour and the dumpling kind. Both well seasoned and turned out. Also spicy salt and pepper fried calamari (exquisite; get this, though one does not usually see in a dim sum restaurant) and chicken lettuce wraps, which I would not recommend because it does not seem dim summy. The fried sesame balls with sweet red bean paste are one of my husband's taste tests, and these did not disappoint, though not the best we've ever had: a little large and too little bean paste, but served piping hot. Note issues about seating. We arrived about 8 and scored the only open table. Not sure I would try this place at lunch time. Sure the carts are better, but our service was excellent.

A nondescript, hole in the wall, shack primarily for take out and delivery, but they do have a few tables. The food is excellent and made fresh to order. Most items will feed 2 to 3. Have yet to find better Chinese food in the area.
