About Panda Inn

Let me introduce you to Panda Inn, a Chinese restaurant that locals in Centralia tend to talk about with a knowing smile once the subject of comfort food comes up. Sitting at 806 Harrison Ave, Centralia, WA 98531, United States, this spot feels easy to find and even easier to settle into, whether you’re dropping by for a quick bite or planning a relaxed dine-in meal with friends or family. From the moment you walk in, Panda Inn gives off that familiar, welcoming vibe people look for in a neighborhood Chinese restaurant, where the menu is broad enough to satisfy different cravings without feeling overwhelming. I usually point people here when they want classic comfort food with options, because the offerings stretch from small plates you can share to heartier dishes that make a full meal on their own. It’s also nice that Panda Inn doesn’t box itself into just one type of visit; you can come for takeaway on a busy night, sit down and linger over coffee, or enjoy a casual drink thanks to a solid selection that includes beer, wine, cocktails, and other spirits. For those who like to plan ahead, the availability of a private dining room adds flexibility for small gatherings, while happy-hour drinks create another reason to stop in after work. Vegetarian options are thoughtfully included as well, which makes it easier to bring along mixed groups without stress. Overall, when I’m introducing Panda Inn to someone new, I describe it as a dependable, comfortable place that understands what people want from a Chinese restaurant: good food, flexible service options, and an atmosphere that works just as well for a fast lunch as it does for an unhurried evening meal. I often mention how the relaxed pacing and approachable menu make first-time visits feel simple, especially for travelers passing through Centralia who want something reliable, flavorful, and familiar without fuss, while still enjoying thoughtful touches that elevate an everyday meal.

Reviews

Panda Inn is special. A very friendly and attentive staff serving generous portions. Tasty hot food in a nice quiet atmosphere was well worth the experience.

What a total unexpected delight! This place was delicious and so fast I can only assume they knew what I wanted to order before I did! The egg roll was the most interesting, it's like a giant burrito and oh so yummy! The pan fried noodles are also killer and a must get! The only thing I was not super thrilled about was the soup (egg drop), it's more cornstarch than anything and almost chewable! Nevertheless this place gets all 5 of my daily stars!

This place was wonderful! The service was great. The food was amazing! It was a hefty bill for 3 people, little over 90 bucks, so take that for what it's worth. It's worth every penny. The food is so good and my go to from now on, even tho it's over a half hour away. I had the number 3? I think? or 6, cannot remember at this time. Pork chow mein, sweet and sour pork, fried shrimp (which went to my mom), and pork fried rice. This is like the combo that every chinese restaurant usually serves, but it's usually their house combo. This was just a number. Food was served HOT and FRESH and FAST! Egg flower soup to begin with, DELICIOUS. The tea they serve, is very good too, and I hate tea. The atmosphere was great too, except for someone in the corner, (another customer) on their phone with their volume turned up. It was my birthday and I wanted to walk over, which was across the room and take his phone and stomp on it. A few times. Anyways, my mom asked if they did anything special for birthdays...they did not however, she brought out 2 spring rolls, freshly fried. VERY tasty. Was so very nice of her, as she did not have to do anything. They were HUGE too. The food portions are huge. This place is AWESOME. Be careful of your surroundings on the OUTSIDE. Saw at least 3 "homeless". Recommend this place!
