Panda Express

Chinese Restaurant $ 4.0 (537)


Panda Express is a fast-casual dining spot that offers a range of American-Chinese fast food options, though with limited authenticity. Many patrons appreciate the user-friendly service and the cleanliness of the location, but concern arises regarding the freshness and true Chinese flavors of the dishes. While it may not capture the essence of authentic Chinese cuisine, it remains a popular choice for quick meals.

" I went to Panda Express thinking I'd get a great meal but was disappointed. The food took longer than expected to arrive, and the orange chicken didn't taste as fresh as it normally does. The service was adequate, but I wish I could say it was exceptional. As someone who frequents other Chinese restaurants, I feel like Panda Express needs to step it up a notch when it comes to flavor and freshness. " (*Curated Review*)

" Panda Express always is a safe bet for a quick meal, but the service can be hit or miss. The last time I went, my order was incorrect, but they fixed it without hassle. The food is okay for fast food Chinese, but not exactly what I would call authentic. The chicken teriyaki was decent but didn't blow me away. Prices are average, but I question if I’ll return anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited this location recently and found the food lovely! I had the kung pao chicken which had the perfect kick and paired well with the rice. The employees were particularly friendly and let us sample a new dish they were trying out. The prices felt fair for the portion sizes. I appreciate that they regularly maintain cleanliness in the dining area– a big plus! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been a long-time fan of Panda Express, and this location did not disappoint! From the moment I walked in, the staff was warm and welcoming. I ordered the orange chicken, which was crispy and flavorful, paired perfectly with their fried rice. Although the atmosphere was casual, it felt clean and inviting. The only downside was the portion size seemed smaller than I remembered, but overall, a solid meal! I will definitely be back for more. " (*Curated Review*)

" I must say, Panda Express has lost its charm for us lately. We frequently order takeout and have noticed a pattern of inconsistent quality. One day the food is fresh, and the next, it's lukewarm. The chow mein can sometimes taste stale, and the honey walnut shrimp can be overly fried. We are loyal customers, but we are starting to question our reliability on their quality for our family meals. I sincerely hope they improve. " (*Curated Review*)

" I used to be a big fan of Panda Express, but after ordering the Beijing beef, I found it to be surprisingly underwhelming. The first few bites were promising, but it quickly became evident that it was overcooked and lacking flavor. I feel like the chain has fallen into a trap of sameness. I think they're riding on the name recognition at this point. I hope they can bring back their signature flavors. " (*Curated Review*)

" I love that this location keeps getting better! The staff is friendly, and the food is steadily improving too! On my last visit, I had their signature dishes, and they were on point – fresh, well-cooked, and not greasy. I typically recommend taking the time to ask for extra sauce because they can be a bit stingy with portions. I think they could still work on their interior decor to enhance the dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)
