My hidden gem for Chinese. Everything is cooked a la minute, meaning the proteins and veggies on your dish will have at most 10min in the wok, so if it's a little bland, make sure to coat it in its sauce, which will have most of the salt.I hope they don't give in and overly salt their dishes just like every other restaurant out there.

The vegetable fried rice was very dry and lacked flavor. I ordered takeout, went home, and had to season the rice, to make it edible.

Ordered a variety of food for mostly-vegetarian family. The good: they closely followed our special requests online and the food was pretty good overall. The not so great: The spring rolls are mostly wrapper with almost no veggie filling, and the TVP (fake meat) entree was gross. Its probably not fair to compare that meal element to Vegetable Garden or Yuan Fu, but at Panda Wok the veggie 'meat' is just small slimy slices of obvious TVP....they don't even try to make it look or taste meaty.

Panda Wok is a GEM! The prices are simply unbeatable and the quality is second to none. Every time I try a new Chinese place (American Chinese that is) I order the pu pu platter to get a taste of their appetizers, pork fried rice as an essential dish, and usually some noodle dish. I think that’s a fair sampling of what an American Chinese place should be good at. And Panda Wok knocked them all out of the park. The pu pu platter was amazing for $13. Big meaty ribs, big meaty and well fried wings. Nothing was greasy or over fried. Excellent all the way around.I really judge a place by its fried rice, and again Panda Wok shines. You won’t find the obviously frozen bag of peas and carrots some places throw in their leftover rice. Onions, carrots, etc, hand cut, well seasoned and mixed perfectly with the rice. The pork pieces were substantial and again well seasoned. Great fried rice.I tried their wide rice noodles with chicken and again, couldn’t be happier with it. Sometimes noodle dishes can get quite oily, but not at Panda Wok.I also appreciate their kitchen set up; wide open and in view from the counter. You can see nothing is premade, that each chef individually seasons their creations by hand, eyeballing the amounts, the mark of an excellent chef that knows exactly what they are doing and has been doing it for years.Seriously the best American Chinese I’ve had in the entire DMV area.

Pork chow mein was fatty pork, celery, sprouts, and a watery, tasteless sauce. They forgot the noodles. The moo shoo was way more overbooked, and very salty. I don’t usually complain but this was bad.

Skip it. In fact, skip ordering food anywhere between Olney and the District line in Silver Spring - totally not worth the chance you'll be taking. I ordered Egg Rolls - I've never tasted anything quite that nasty. I spit the first bite out into my wastebasket. Foul taste! I opened up the egg roll to find some very sketchy RED item - a sausage? - that I've never ever seen in an Egg Roll before. Threw both of them into the same wastebasket. Ordered some General Tse's combo plate and that food had been sitting under a heat lamp for a good 12-24 hours - hard as a rock, tasteless, with all the appeal of 3-day leftovers. Into the same wastebasket, it went. Also ordered Shrimp with Lobster Sauce - lots and lots and lots of white rice, a cup or two of Sauce and about 6 shrimp, watered down, tepidly flavored. Also ordered Hot and Sour Soup. It was water primarily with some undercooked mushrooms and beansprouts. Just a total tasteless, gut-upsetting, disappointing, anger-provoking experience. This area was once filled with careful menus, spotless service, and a satisfying food experience, but NO MORE. Truly - make yourself some scrambled eggs and skip this whole idea of ordering from this place OR any place in this area.

I ordered Chicken and broccoli and just got broccoli ??
Panda Wok, this place is very very nice! There is nothing not to love in this place. Only problem is that it’s way too busy! That’s good for the store but not for me. Food is very good but it takes some time to order. All in all very good place but is just too busy for me.

I ordered online and requested no soy sauce in the "special instructions", and the chef literally called me while he was cooking my food to suggest that he could use a different sauce in the dish to make sure there would be no soy sauce in it. How thoughtful of him! Great service! Thank you!Dietary restrictions: Very nice about making my food gluten free, no soy sauce.
