ACCIDENTAL DINE AND DASH?
Not sure why but these guys left in a hurry. We let them know to pay up front and they just walk straight out. Typically we try to figure out if they are regular customers and made an honest mistake. We all do. Hoping they see this and don't feel too embarrassed. I have everything in 4k but I figured I give them the benefit of the doubt.

Forgot to make a reservation at a fancy restaurant. First come first serve. Come Lady and the Tramp some Noodz.

Pang Zi Noodle Shop stands with the Eastside of Santa Barbara all the way to Minneapolis. We asked our staff if they would like to close and protest. They voted to work and to stay safe inside, even if we don't get one customer today that's OK. Sorry for the inconvenience our ICE machine is broken, NO ICE!

This Thanksgiving and Black Friday we will be open for Dinner Only! Last year we had to make an emergency trip to China and closed for the long weekend. So we don't know what to expect. Wait time will vary!

UPDATE: SANTA BARBARA SHERIFF'S HAS MALE SUSPECT IN CUSTODY.

Not something we like posting… but this couple dined and dashed on Saturday night — and left a counterfeit bill behind to buy time to leave.

Santa Barbara Sheriff’s Office has all the info they need, and what could’ve been a small mistake is now a felony.

We’re sharing this so other restaurants stay alert — small businesses work hard, and it’s never okay to take advantage of that.

Whatever you happen to choose, we will be here waiting for you.

Our first year flew by — and we couldn’t have done it without you.

Thank you for all the support, love, and amazing reviews. We’ve never advertised — it’s all thanks to word of mouth and your kind recommendations that our tiny team of 3 has now grown to 12.

We’re excited for what’s ahead in year two and beyond.
From all of us at Pang Zi Noodle Shop — thank you! 💛
