" I had a terrible experience. My food came out cold and the staff didn’t seem to care. I ordered Beijing beef, which I expected to be great, but it was chewy and tasted off. I won't return to this location, and I've shared my experience with friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" Panda Express is our go-to for quick meals. The teriyaki chicken is fantastic when made fresh, but I've had my share of dry rice. Most visits have been great, though, and the staff is usually very friendly. I'm impressed with their pace of service even during rush hours. " (*Curated Review*)

" I loved my experience at Panda Express! The food was fresh and tasted very good. My family enjoyed their meals too. The best part was the lovely staff who made us feel welcome. We will definitely be coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I came to get a quick meal and was shocked by the prices. The food is pretty predictable for a chain, and unfortunately, it didn't seem freshly prepared. The sweet and sour sauce was too heavy and had a weird flavor. Service could definitely improve; they seemed overwhelmed, and I waited longer than expected. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited Panda Express during lunch; it was busy. The staff were hustling and did their best to keep things moving. My food was hot and tasty - no complaints there. A good variety on the menu, though the prices feel a little high for fast food. I'd recommend it for a quick meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointed with my visit to Panda Express today. The honey walnut shrimp was overcooked and the rice was sticky and cold. Service was fine, but the food quality was not up to par. It's a shame, as I wanted to enjoy my meal more. I left feeling unsatisfied. " (*Curated Review*)

" Went to Panda for a quick bite between classes. The wait wasn't too long and the food was decent, but nothing memorable. The staff were polite and efficient, but I didn’t feel welcomed at all. The flavors could be bolder; I’d rather spend my time at a local restaurant for better authenticity. " (*Curated Review*)
