Nestled in Eureka, California, Panda Café is a popular dining spot for locals who enjoy Chinese cuisine. The restaurant is 1,200 square feet and has the capacity to hold up to 70 diners. Panda Café opened its doors in 2000. Facing fierce competition from Chinese restaurants in the surrounding area, Panda Café has made itself a winner by sticking to its roots —quality food at a reasonable price.

Like most Chinese dine-in eateries in America, Panda Café features extensive selections of Chinese cuisine, ranging from traditional Cantonese dishes to modern fare with Americanized twists. To better cater to customers’ needs, the owner Mr. Liu has slightly adjusted the tastes of his dishes.

With more than a hundred items to choose from, signature dishes at Panda Café include Orange Peel Chicken, Kung Pao Chicken and Deep Fried Prawn. While these dishes seem very standard at first glance, chefs have actually altered their cooking method to make these dishes healthier without sacrificing flavor. What really sets the restaurant apart is the special homemade sauce. The secret sauce is derived from over years of experience and has been updated to keep up with changing customer tastes. Of course, the recipe is a secret but customers won’t mind as long as it continues to be offered.

To guarantee the superior quality of its dishes, Panda Café sources its ingredients from a distribution company that provides the freshest vegetables and poultry. However, the luxurious dining environment and diverse menu choices do not mean unaffordable prices at Panda Café. In fact, each item is priced properly. $10 is enough to enjoy a delicious lunch and dinner. If you are in or near Eureka, California, make sure to stop by this culinary gem.
