Pandasia used to be one of our favorite restaurants. Sadly, that changed recently when they changed the name to the "New" Pandasia. We went for an early dinner the other night expecting to enjoy our usual dishes. Everything was wrong. Our server never did bring the hot and sour soup. After one bite my husband spat out his pork potsticker and refused to eat any more (he used to rave about them). The spinach potstickers were no longer prepared with spinach wrappers, and the filling tasted funny. The General Tso's chicken was chewy and gristly. Every visit prior to this one, the Mongolian Beef was made with lots of tender beef and scallions; this time it was loaded with big chunks of onions, to which my husband is violently allergic. When he brought it back over to the kitchen window and pointed out that the dish never had onions before and that he has an allergy, he was told "well you should have ordered it the old way - this is the NEW Pandasia." He pointed out that in that case they might want to update their menu because he had no way of knowing there was a "new" Mongolian Beef. The kitchen finally agreed to remake the dish "the old way" but that apparently sparked a battle between the server and the cook who proceeded to scream at each other at the top of their lungs in Chinese throughout the rest of our meal. The "New" Pandasia is a sad shadow of what Pandasia used to be. Order a pizza instead.
Cons: staff fighting throughout our meal, food quality has gone downhill
