Growing up around family<br \/>\nmembers&#8217; Chinese restaurants in Westchester<br \/>\nCounty, he had ample opportunities to learn<br \/>\nmore about both the cooking and business aspects<br \/>\nof running a restaurant.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, he and his wife, Crystal, opened Panda<br \/>\nGarden Chinese Restaurant at Midtown Shopping<br \/>\nCenter, 119 Main St., in South Glens Falls.<br \/>\nCrystal&#8217;s family did not have a restaurant, but<br \/>\nher father enjoyed cooking and so she learned a<br \/>\nlot from him, she said.<\/p>\n<p>After working for many years in his family&#8217;s<br \/>\nestablishments, Yang had decided it was time to<br \/>\ngo out on his own. He said his recipes are derived<br \/>\nfrom family recipes from the south of China, but<br \/>\nhe has tweaked them to make them his own. <\/p>\n<p>He is also willing to adapt the menu to accommodate the tastes of individual customers, he said.<\/p>\n<p>Panda Garden has seating for 20. Much of the restaurant&#8217;s business is takeout or delivery. Delivery radius is about five miles from Midtown Shopping Center.<\/p>\n<p>Yang said he has been pleased that if a customer calls from outside the delivery range, say from Queensbury and finds there is no delivery, they are still happy to come in to pick up their order because they have been that pleased with the quality of the food.<\/p>\n<p>Yang says that General Tso&#8217;s chicken, lo mein, and crab Rangoon are customer favorites. Panda Garden is open 10:30 a.m. to 10 p.m., Monday through Thursday; 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. on Friday; and noon to 10 p.m. on Sundays. The phone number is 812-0909.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Rong Yow Yang and his wife Crystal own Panda Garden Chinese Restaurant at Midtown Shopping Center, using recipes from Rong&#8217;s family developed in southern China By Barbara Brewer La Mere Rong Yow Yang he has loved to cook from&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":121,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,34],"tags":[57,98,110,122],"class_list":["post-14499","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-business-news","category-new-businesses","tag-business-news","tag-new-businesses","tag-restaurants","tag-south-glens-falls"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.6 -
