The original Panda Inn in Hastings Ranch (Pasadena) reopened last week after a 2 year reconstruction project. Panda Inn is part of the Panda Restaurant Group (headquartered in nearby Rosemead) that also includes Panda Express and Hibachi San. There are also Panda Express take-out locations at selected Vons/Albertsons/Pavilions stores and at many college campuses. PRG is a big donor to Cal Poly Pomona, where the hospitality management school has a classroom named after the founder Mr Cherng and is also the first college campus outlet for Panda Express and Hibachi San.
Grew up in the area and this restaurant will always have a special place in my heart. Spent many casual dinners, birthdays, and graduations here. I live a little further now and it’s been a couple years but this definitely motivated me to make the drive to relive those memories.
The food they serve at Panda Express is selected to keep warm in their hot trays, and be easy to plate up and serve to customers in line. It's good stuff. But the difference at Panda Inn is that they can cook it and serve it to your table right away. The secret to really enjoying Panda Inn is to order the items that are unique to the "Inn". The appetizers, soups, and meat dishes all are really good. It's a go to place for birthdays, etc. because they handle large groups really well!
Ontario is one of four Panda Inn locations, the others being in Glendale, Pasadena and La Palma, although the Pasadena location is temporarily closed for remodeling.

Gonna visit the Pasadena location after they finish remodeling it to see how it is 🐼
@@delafoxchecks Same here. I live in the South Pasadena area, so it's a quick drive up there.
I think there used to be one in Barstow too.
Has it been a week already??
It’s a step up from 🐼Express that’s why the panda in the 🐼Inn logo is standing not crawling lol jk 😂
Higher quality 🥡tho
Pasadena is the original Panda Inn, not Glendale Galleria, which was 2nd.
Yes they just reopened the Pasadena location I hope to visit it soon

When going to a full service restaurant, you really should remove your hat.

Your not wrong some fancy sit down restaurants don’t allow hats to be worn but this one doesn’t have that rule
