Panda Heaven

A friendly environment awaits you at Panda Heaven, located at the Coventry Mall on route 724. You are greeted and seated within minutes, shown to a table with a white leather table cloth and wooden chairs with blue cushions and deep rich in color to the wood. A tiny vase adorns the table with carnations, alongside of them are condiments-usually soy sauce, salt, and pepper.

You are fitted with the menu and a paper placemat. Next you will be asked if you would like something to drink, and if you are ready to order.

This restaurant is of triangular shape, with some long tables but mostly small tables. There is a high counter off to the left as soon as you walk in, about four and a half to five feet tall with a deep rich texture and color to it. Behind this is a shelf against a wall full of a multitude of liquors. Beyond this you can see a doorway leading into the kitchen where there usually are numerous chefs stir frying something.

In the far left corner there is a sushi bar, where you can sit and watch the sushi chef prepare his delicate works of art. This corner of the restaurant brings in a multitude of tacky decorations. There is a string of multi-colored triangular flags hanging above this section. Along with a giant erase board with the daily specials, this is never fully erased so that you can still make out the words from the day prior. To the right of the opening near the sushi bar there are two giant vases, clear with water and fish in them, they look like goldfish but one can never be sure. Next to these "fish bowls" there is a small table holding a register.

Despite some of the tacky decorations, I have never had an unpleasant experience here which is why I believe it deserves four stars out of five. Every time we stop here, the food is great, the service is better, and the plating design is spectacular.
