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.

I organized a friendsâ outing to Lunasia on a Saturday morning. Having never been there and knowing my lady friends were totally unfamiliar with Dim Sum, I was a little worried that they might not enjoy it. I had heard that there was a tremendous wait, even at 11AM, but we sat outside for what seemed like just a few minutes before we were called. As I suspected, my friends left all of the ordering up to me, so I dove right in and ordered various dumplings, green beans, sliced pork, noodles, pork belly and a few other things. I even decided to order dessert so that we would not have to call the server later in the meal. To my amusement, the first thing that arrived was the dessert! There were also a few items being offered at the tables by the servers. One of the ladies spotted some buns that looked delicious and indeed they were. Another server came by with what looked like long thin bread rolls â they were a sweet item with custard inside. Everyone oohed and aahed! Everything was very tasty, especially the green beans and the pork belly item. Service was OK, with little contact from the servers (everything ordered from a form on the table via pencil check marks). As busy as it was, I expected to be rushed, but there was rushing us at any time and we spent quite a while just catching up. This was well worth the drive from the Westside.

We had to go. This is the original Panda #1. The place all the other Pandas express come from. Extremely good food (try the orange chicken) and friendly service. We went on Christmas day. They serve an incredible Sunday brunch too.

standing in a line like a fast food restaurant and drinking out of a pater cut kind of ruins the experience. Only the view of the gardens saved this experience.

This location is by far more relaxing to eat at than the Alhambra location. We came in to have lunch and there was no waiting in line. I ordered my favorite Pad Thai and asked for it to be spicy. We also ordered the Combo Rice, Chicken noodle soup, and a thai ice tea. It didn't take long to get our food and there was plenty of it, enough to feed me for a couple of days. The only thing I didn't like that the Pad Thai was not spicy like I requested it to be, I had to add sriracha sauce to spice it up.

Reviewed By MarktheWay
We had to arrive at 4:30 pm to get a table for an early dinner on Motherâs Day. No reservations accepted. Parking is very crowded in the lot but they have valet parking. There is also parking on the streets if lucky to find one. We had a party of six and ordered the Family Dinner for $54 which included 5 dishes - House Seafood Soup or Sweet and Sour Soup, Clams with Hot Spicy Sauce, Kung Pao Chicken, Sauted Pea Sprout, and a Steamed Whole Fish (Tilapia). Our main dish was the Newport Special Lobster (market price). A medium lobster was sufficient for our party of six. Everything was fresh and delicious! The lobster was all gone but we took the spicy lobster sauce and leftover rice home to make a fried rice dish tomorrow. This was a very good value for a lobster dinner! In a per person basis, each person cost approximately $50, including tip.
