The iconic Panda Inn has been a fixture of Pasadena for the entirety of my life. Its Chinese American dishes, even in my childhood, remained consistent; the space ideal for large family gatherings.

Go for the classics, stay for surprisingly in-depth sushi menu with tangy sashimi preparations that act as palate openers before the main event; glamorous venue; and easy, seamless service.
