Panda Chef in Chula Vista's Eastlake Village Center serves Cantonese-American fare from its storefront at the intersection of Otay Lakes Road and Eastlake Parkway. The salt-and-pepper chicken wings — double-fried and tossed with garlic, jalapeño, and cracked black pepper — have built a following among the same Eastlake commuter base that stops for afternoon espresso at Better Buzz Coffee Bonita on the Sweetwater Road corridor. A 93-out-of-100 county health inspection score covers the wok station, the deep-fryer bank, and the steam table that holds lunch combination plates. Large-portion family meals pack chicken fried rice, orange chicken, and egg rolls into tray-style containers sized for four to six diners, a format that appeals to visitors staying at Ayres Hotel San Diego South and other Chula Vista lodging. The honey walnut shrimp coats battered prawns in a condensed-milk mayonnaise glaze and finishes them with candied walnuts, producing a sweet-savory entrée that outsells every other seafood item on the menu.
