Panda Express

It’s Panda Express, not top of the line authentic gourmet Chinese food… but it’s not bad and reasonably priced for someone like me. I’m always in and out very quickly within a couple of minutes, which is good considering I only have a 30 minute lunch break to run all the way over. Good to go!

It’s Chinese fast food. You get what you pay for. The reason for the high rating is the staff. My family and I frequent this location often and the staff is always hard working and friendly. They dish good size portions and get you in and out. There is one girl in particular who is always working when I come in and she’s awesome. Do recommend!

This seems to be a crap-​shoot depending on what time you go and who’s ordering what. The quality of the meat often varies. I lean towards the Beijing Beef and have received it fresh with the right amount of texture at times, and crunchy/​stringy, losing it’s appeal at others. There’s nothing worse than getting stuck with some bad Beijing Beef on your panda plate. It’s definitely not cheap even in comparison to some sit down American-​Chinese joints, if it was more consistent, I’d lean more towards four stars.

6:06 pm big and clean, surprised there was no line! I reviewed the offering, before ordering. however almost every entrée dish only had 2 or 3 serving… Which made me wonder how fresh it was. Well my orange chicken & chow mein was dry and the Angus beef was just fine.
Now if I was going to make any recommendation to this Panda Express location: please discontinue the use of the plastic to go containers use the cardboard containers that I see at most other panda locations: let’s stop using valuable resources to make these plastic containers.

Absolutely my worst experience at any Panda Express. I had beef and husband had chicken. Quality of meat was absolutely the worst I have ever tasted. Husband spit his out. Never eat here.

I stopped by this Panda Express today to satisfy my Panda cravings. I haven’t eaten it for years, literally, so I was hoping that this would live up to the hype. I ordered my usual — orange chicken, sweetfire chicken, and fried rice.
One interesting thing also: As if orange chicken couldn’t get bad enough for your arteries, there is now orange chicken WITH BACON. The sample didn’t taste bad, but I couldn’t bring myself to eat that over the regular orange chicken.
One thing I did not like at this Panda Express was the to-​go plastic boxes that they used (maybe this is standard now, but it wasn’t the last time I ate at a Panda Express in California). Due to the shape of the box, it gives the servers a nice little «target» in relation to how much orange chicken to put on your tray. Before, the grooves weren’t as «tall» so I would get more orange chicken that flowed into my fried rice. Now that there is a clear delineation of the compartments, the server has no real obligation to give me more chicken than what will fill up that nice little spot… Please see the attached pictures and tell me if it’s just me, or if I’m right about this.
Anyhow, I shall revisit Panda in another few years. 2 stars because it more or less tasted like how it was supposed to taste.

I’ll make it short, Not my first Panda, just the worst. Dry, stringy, Well like its been sitting for 2 days just waiting for me. Wife and I ate little, tossed a lot and went next store for yogurt.
Me return, I’d eat grass first. A different Panda, yes I would.

I’ve eaten Panda in the past and it was always what I expected; clean affordable «fast» Chinese food… My reasonably low expectations were not met when I ate at this location on Wednesday night (after a long flight). The place was filthy and the steam trays of food left me with easy choices to make. Let me see… I’ll have some of that dish that is not completely dried to the bottom of the tray! Sorry Panda, but you need to get out to your Franchisees and protect your brand!

The food was good… not the best… but good! It was somewhat busy but not crazy. Getting through the line was a bit slow to start. What really impressed me with this location… when I got to the register… they gave me my meal for free. I asked why and the guy running the register said «because my manager said». I was very puzzled. Then the manager stepped up and said he was sorry I had to wait so long and it was on them. WOW… I thought it was a little slow… but not worth complaining about.

I’m Chinese, and I’ll admit, I think Panda Express is much better than some other places. I’ve been to a lot of them and never had anything bad to say about PE… until I came to this one.
So Nic Batum was in the area signing autographs, so my fiancée and I went there to get an autograph. My brother eventually joined me. Well he was hungry after the signing so we went here since it was… there.
The place was full of people so there were no tables to really sit at. We were lucky to score a table when one person left. The food wasn’t really that great. PE has been known to move food out and replace it with fresh food but this wasnt the case. I got old green beans that blech. My brother wanted rice, but changed his mind to noodles and all the sudden he had half and half. Ok…
But the worst part was the floors. It was sticky. Like public mens bathroom sticky. I’m not sure if they used soda water as a cleaning agent but I almost lost my shoe when it got stuck on to the floor.
You think that from my point of view after running a family restaurant that maybe a manager would tell somebody to clean up the place, nobody did. I saw 4 – 6 employees there, half of them on their cell phones talking or playing games. All the while while the floor was sticky. The sound of people walking by just urks me.
The guy that was filling the straws at the fountain machine, on the cell phone, yap, yap, yap, yap. Nothing says akward than a bunch of guys huddled in the little room tot he side checking their phones, while the FLOOR NEEDS ATTENTION!
Yes I finished my food, I didn’t throw up, I didn’t choke or anything. The place lacked manager oversite, on that day at least.

I think I was desperate and lost all good judgment…

It was around 8 30 ish when we went in and they were making fresh trays. woot.
Your average Panda experience… what freaked me out was that Asians were actually running the store (which is usually not the case where I live).
