Steam Panda - Wenatchee (WA)

5 /5 Elisa Drazba: Steam Panda is such a gem! They have a huge, varied menu and everything looked delicious. You order at the counter and they bring the food right out. Its quick, fresh, and super reasonably priced. I don’t live in town, but I’ll absolutely be back anytime I’m in the area!

2 /5 Scarlett Griffin: Food is alright, but they have you pay and tip prior to service. You then self-serve (seating, drinks, etc.) every aspect except for the fact that they bring the food to your table. When it popped up recommending 15-30% tip prior to service, it put us on the spot, so we tipped at the base level, as we didnt want an unsatisfactory tip to result in poor or late food. In the end, it was either not enough of a tip or tipping didnt matter. Eel was pretty good, as was the fried mushroom roll. However, the two shrimp-based rolls had little to no crunch as the shrimp appeared to be pre-made. Either way, food was edible. Not dramatically slow, and atmosphere was alright. Sriracha and soy sauce seem watered down, but passable. Payment and service experience kinda spoils the experience though. Pics included.~

3 /5 Darnell Kebo: Nice spot and really friendly staff. I ordered the lunch special with pho and pork bao as well as chicken wings. Loved the chicken wings. Nice and crisp. Bao was okay. Filling was good. Pho didnt have enough broth, flavor was okay. Menu is very extensive and will likely come back to try other items.

5 /5 Summer Schoening: My first time here was today with some friends who love this place. I really enjoyed it. I ordered the juicy pork steamed bao(2 for $8), the avocado salad ($7), and the mango fruit tea with popping boba ($6). The popping boba are mango flavored, which is was nice with my drink. The food arrived quickly, and everything was very fresh. The staff were friendly and helpful. They have plenty of vegetarian options as well; about 1/3rd of the menu potentially.

4 /5 Jenifer M: Food was tasty and filling. Sushi was decent. We ordered the lunch special so no specialty rolls. The dumplings (all kinds) were good. The bao would have been much better if there was more meat. There was just a small meatball in the center rather than being full of meat as weve had other places. Overall good and would return if we were back in town.
