"Chef-owner Lucy Ye runs this affordable, allergy-conscious Asian restaurant on Aurora Avenue. The kitchen is nut-free and seafood-free by default, and the restaurant caters well to those with other dietary restrictions. There are plenty of gluten-free options on the menu too, including gluten-free teriyaki, which is hard to find in Seattle. The spicy fried chicken sandwich and the minced pork rice are highlights. Hangry Panda is also known for its milk teas with house-made syrups — the Panda Milk is made for sesame lovers, with a slightly nutty taste and a salted milk topping. The restaurant focuses on to-go orders, but there are four bar seats available to dine in." - Sarah Engstrand
