We ordered the egg rolls, Steamed dumplings and spicy beef bulgogi and that was served with all these different sides. It was so good! Excellent flavors. Not much of a place to look at but some of the best food in this area that I've tried so far. We will definitely be back!

The best and only Korean restaurant in ETX. I live over an hour away but I enjoy coming here when I'm in the area.

Very nice people. The restaurant is clean. The food was fresh. We ordered egg rolls, chicken and beef fried rice, and Sesame chicken. Everything was great. I would eat here again.

There's no reason why Panda Korea should not be packed at lunch time. Dad and I tried this restaurant after having read up on it from the reviews, and we were not disappointed. The atmosphere was very typical Asian restaurant, which was very cozy. We both ordered the Hot Stone Bibimbap (Dad got Spicy Pork, I got Spicy Beef), plus an order of Shrimp Tempura and an order of egg rolls. Plus, our entrees came with all the typical fixings of a Korean BBQ restaurant (kimchi, soup, cucumbers, bean sprouts, etc.}. The rice on the bottom of the bibimbap had crispened up, which is exactly what you want from a good bibimbap. All the vegetables were fresh. They had this sauce that came with our order that had a sweet heat to it. I think it might've had gochujang in it. I flippantly added some to my entree, mixed it up, and basked in the immediate burst of flavor that it brought to an already delicious dish. If I had one criticism of the entire meal, it would be to cook the shrimp a tad longer, so it crispens up even more, but that's mainly a personal preference issue. Since moving here, I have not had an excuse to give a 5-star rating to a Longview based restaurant off the first impression. This just might be it.

No one told me that 할머니 (grandma) was back there! Y'all in Longview got blessed with a legit Korean restaurant. This reminds me of Song's kitchen ins Elizabethtown, Kentucky. No one would have expected it but were pleasantly surprised Abuela is back there making it happen! I ordered the Bulgogi and the Gimbap (to go). The beef was perfect. Well marinated and a great portion to share (for two). The banchan (side dishes) were on point and I even got some Ssam (lettuce) and Ssam Jang (the traditionally accompanying soybean paste for the lettuce wrap). Needless to say, this is my go to spot in Longview. Disclaimer: Service isn't the best, but most mom and pop Asian Shops are like that but it's above average. The food is the highlight.

I was stationed in South Korea many years ago and loved to go out far from base and enjoy the local favorites. Instantly I was taken back to those days. Food was excellent and price was spot on. Service was very nice. We went after the lunch rush but plan to go back and try some other items from the dinner menu. You could order from both but wasn't dinner time hungry.

As a bodybuilder, I plan my "free meals" at the beginning of every week. Panda Korea has been on my list for awhile, so I wanted to give it a try. I was thoroughly impressed. We walked in and the inside was a little underwhelming. But any true foodie knows that usually the more "hole in the wall" a place looks, usually the more promising the food can be. We were greeted pleasantly by the waiter, and the service was consistent the whole time. I ordered the teriyaki chicken bibimbap, and it did not disappoint. They gave us some watermelon at the end. I'm not sure if that's a Korean tradition, but it was very refreshing. Great service, great food, and at a great price. Definitely recommend if you're in the area.
