Panda Gourmet
You can walk right in at Panda Gourmet and find a table. Even better, most of the tables are tailored for big groups eating family-style at this classic Szechuan restaurant. Located off of a Days Inn in Gateway, (yes, the hotel chain), it's easy to overlook Panda Gourmet. But if you follow the signs, you’ll find a restaurant that delivers a solid food experience at a great price. The extensive 14-page menu includes traditional dishes like mapo tofu, beef burgers, and double-cooked pork alongside Americanized faves like general tso chicken.
