- portionsMy experience at this restaurant was wonderful. The family that works here are incredibly generous with the portions and are very kind. I visit at least once a week, and the food is always yummy.
- Chinese foodMy experience at this restaurant was that it's the best Chinese food place that doesn't cook to order that I have tried in Vegas.
- black pepper chickenThe server was exceptionally friendly and patient, especially as I struggled to decide what to order because everything looked really good. I ended up choosing the beef and broccoli and black pepper chicken with noodles. It seemed like I arrived at the perfect moment, as a rush of people came in right after I got my food and sat down to eat, lol.
- orange chickenThey offer good size portions and reasonably priced combo specials that include an egg roll. Our favorites are General Tao, orange chicken, teriyaki chicken (ask for extra sauce), and Kung Pao chicken. The crab rangoons are also really good.

How are the prices at Panda Bowl?
You’re looking at roughly 12 per person – reported by 61 diners. That puts it in the $11–$20 category. For a Chinese Restaurant, it’s comfortably mid-range: not a steal, but not bank-breaking either.
Looking at what people actually spend, we see a lot of diners keeping it super budget-friendly, with many spending in the $1–$10 range. But theres also a good chunk opting for meals in the $11–$20 bracket, which pulls the average up a bit. So, its a nice mix, leaning towards affordable.
Here’s a quick look at what guests spend per person, based on the latest 61 reviews.
How this restaurant’s value stacks up against similar spots in Las Vegas.
Overall, we think the pricing here feels pretty fair for a Chinese restaurant, especially in Las Vegas. You can definitely find a good meal without breaking the bank.

Blown Away by Efficiency!
I stopped by today and was blown away by the young lady's efficiency! I was grabbing a bite, and I watched her zip back and forth between the cashier and clients. She was lightning-fast with her attention to customers and rang us up in no time.
I ordered 3 plates, and she had everything ready in under 5 minutes - impressive! This young lady deserves serious recognition; she's definitely due for a raise, no matter what she's making now.
