Best Family Style Restaurants in San Gabriel

I always love going to Agnes but honestly last night was something special. 1000/10

★★★★★ Outstanding Food, Exceptional Service, and a Wonderful Dining Experience! We’ve dined at Panda Inn in Pasadena on numerous occasions, and the experience continues to be consistently excellent. The food is always delicious, freshly prepared, and served piping hot. However, what truly sets this restaurant apart is the outstanding service, particularly from our server, Elaine. We’ve had the pleasure of having Elaine as our server multiple times, purely by chance, and every experience has been exceptional. She is warm, welcoming, extremely friendly, attentive, and genuinely makes her guests feel appreciated. Her professionalism and attention to detail are remarkable. In fact, we’ve enjoyed her service so much that moving forward, we intend to specifically request seating in her section whenever we visit. I would also like to extend special recognition to the kitchen staff for their consistency and excellent coordination with the servers. One of my biggest frustrations with many Chinese restaurants is when dishes arrive several minutes apart, leaving some food cold before the entire meal has been served. At Panda Inn, the food consistently arrives hot, fresh, and promptly. That level of execution reflects excellent teamwork between the kitchen and dining room staff. We’ve visited many Chinese restaurants, but Panda Inn continues to distinguish itself through both its food quality and exceptional hospitality. Great food may bring customers through the door, but outstanding service is what keeps them coming back. Elaine is a perfect example of that. She is a tremendous asset to Panda Inn, and I sincerely hope management recognizes the value she brings to the restaurant. Thank you, Elaine, and the entire Panda Inn team, for consistently providing such an enjoyable dining experience. We look forward to returning!

As always an amazing experience. Vongola and the branzino are the stars of the show.

Authentic Taiwanese food. Very friendly service… also a great welcoming atmosphere

Our Server, Evan was the best and made a difference in our experience. He was attentive, kind, knowledgeable, respectful, courteous and absolutely on top of everything. He didn’t miss a beat. He had wonderful recommendations and if a plate wasn’t delicious he took care of it. Evan is the reason we would return!
