Panda Inn is a chain of sit-down Chinese restaurants in California owned and operated by the Panda Restaurant Group .[1] [2] [3]
The company's original founding goal was to bring new varieties of Chinese cuisine, such as Mandarin cuisine and Sichuan cuisine dishes, to Southern California , which had traditionally favored Chinese Cantonese cuisine .[4]
History
[ edit ]
The first Panda Inn was founded by Andrew and Peggy Cherng and Andrew's father, Master Chef Ming-Tsai Cherng,[5] all of whom used to live in the Yangzhou region of China's Jiangsu province. Their first location was opened on June 8, 1973, in Pasadena , California .[6] A short time after Ming-Tsai died, a second location was opened in 1982 in nearby Glendale.[6]
A few months after the opening of the Glendale location of the Panda Inn in 1982,[7] the Cherngs were invited by the developer of the Glendale Galleria to open a quick serve version of the Panda Inn inside the mall.[7] This new concept was called the Panda Express and it opened inside the Galleria in October 1983.[6]
The first Panda Inn in Orange County, the sixth in the chain, opened in La Palma in 1990.[8] A Panda Inn in San Diego opened at Horton Plaza in 1985[3] but closed in January 2017.[9]
Andrew Cherng and his wife Peggy Tsiang Cherng are alumni of Baker University in Baldwin City, Kansas .[10]
