Score
The health department has logged nine inspections at Panda Wok, the earliest from 2022. The most recent visit was on Dec 12, 2025. Diners should read medium risk as a signal that some issues exist but aren't extreme.

The most common issue across all inspections has been “ice buildup in chest reach-in freezer at entrance of kitchen”, showing up six times.
That's lower than the typical Hallandale Beach restaurant, which scores around 80. Nothing in the record is alarming, but there's room to improve.
