2026 Price Update: Combo A: one item with chow mein or fried rice is $7, Combo B: two items with chow mein or fried rice is $10!! What a deal!! 😋 *Panda Kitchen is one of the only places that still serves cheap Chinese food in Oakland! Located right across the street from the Main Oakland Public Library and a few steps from Lake Merritt, they've been in business for more than 8+ years! I used to come here all the time when my daughter went to school nearby, we would come after school to have a quick affordable dinner, and we would share since the portion has always been huge! They used to display hot food in the front, and the lady would serve then and there. Now, when you place an order, it comes out hot and fresh, so the food will be ready in 10 minutes. If you're not sure what to order, they display food items on their walls so you can pick them from there. They also display the total prices on the table so you know exactly how much you are paying!! 😂 The portion is big and sharable. Such a hidden gem!!! 💎 Highly recommend it if you're in the area and looking for a hole-in-the-wall spot! 🥢🥠

The honey walnut prawns were hella good. They were nice and crispy and I like that they added the honey mayo sauce on the bottom and a bit on the side to keep it from getting soggy. I also liked the Kung Pao beef and the tofu. The sweet and sour chicken was OK. I would highly recommend ordering online

Food was incredibly cheap, good and satisfying! One combo meal was enough to feed two and then some! Recommend if you're strapped for cash and want some decent Chinese food!

Loved the place! I was on the way from point A to point B and I forgot to add food to my stomach... Looked around - there's Panda! For just over $10 I got a load of delicious deep-fried shrimp, enough rice to feed 2 people AND a delicious Thai Milk Tea. Thank you Panda Kitchen

Thought about gatekeeping this place, but it's my go-spot for solid 'americanized' Chinese food. The portions are huge, the service is fast, and the prices are super affordable. You can't beat their 1-item combo deal. Everything is made to order and delicious. I'd eat here every day if I could...

Small dinning area. This place is probably primarily for carry out food. The (one) food combo can feed two average size Asians 5'7". The food is very tasty but you won't feel great afterwards because of the amount of salt or msg in the food. HOWEVER, the food is very delicious, like crack! I would come back again!

Food and service are great! The atmosphere right outside is really sketchy due to many unsavory characters hanging out right in front of the restaurant. Please be careful!

Cashier lady is kind of rude, but the food is really good, and sold at very reasonable prices.

I dine here quite often. The menu is extensive, featuring classic dishes like orange chicken, Kung Pao shrimp, and beef chow mein. Portions are generous, perfect for sharing, and the flavors are comforting. However, the ambiance is fairly simple and no-frills, focused more on the food than decor. It can be slow during busy hours, especially for takeout orders. Despite this, the staff is a sweet older couple; very courteous and accommodating. Panda Kitchen is a reliable spot for quick, casual Chinese food in Oakland Downtown. It’s not the fanciest option, but it certainly satisfies cravings for traditional Chinese-American cuisine.

Their food is flavorful! I especially like their version of sweet and sour chicken, it tastes like Peking pork chops with a little bit of spiciness!

Sorry delivery was not available. Food was great. You can get 2 main entrees with rice in 1 takeout carton. I had orange chicken & mushroom chicken with fried rice. Friend had to go & do the pick up but we both liked our meals. The vegetable spring rolls were so good I wished I had ordered extras.

This is a mom-pop family run restaurant in downtown Oakland CA, in an area near several government buildings. So street parking was limited and time restricted. I ordered two separate meals and the food was good, even days later. If ever in or near the Oakland CA area I would visit this restaurant again! Sorry no pictures!

Amber Ambuehl

Good spring rolls or veggie rolls. The lady taking our order was rushing us for some reason even thought there were no other customers. We would have ordered more food but she kept ringing me up and telling me the total after each item I ordered so I just said fine guess that's it and paid.

Food is delicious, portions are large, prices are fare. Shame it is located in an extremely unsavory part of town. I would recommend only stopping by during the day and even so, be prepared for the riff raff around.

What can I say? I love this place! When you get food to go... I promise 30 minutes later it's still hot! Everything I've tried here is delicious. I usually get shrimp fried rice with no soy sauce, beef and back bean or beef and oyster sauce, and another dish. The reason for this 4 star 🌟 is because, i dont know if they had a different chef the last time i went. I was highly disappointed. The chow mein had NO flavor at all. Also, they usually use larger shrimp. This time they were teeny tiny tinnnny shrimp. Maybe they're cutting back because prices are getting higher for food. 🤷🏾‍♀️
