" Panda Express is generally reliable for a quick meal on campus. However, if you're expecting genuine flavors, it may not meet your expectations. I usually order the orange chicken, which is decent but not very traditional. This time around, the wait was particularly long, which lowered my satisfaction. Service staff were nice enough but they definitely need to work on food preparation and delivery speed. " (*Curated Review*)

" Not my first choice for Chinese, this place can be quite hit or miss. When I entered on a weekday lunch rush, I was met with long lines and an even longer wait for my food. The staff, while polite, seemed stressed out. As for the food, the lo mein was bland and the chicken was overcooked. Definitely felt like I paid more than what I received in terms of both quality and portion size. Wouldn't rush back unless I was really in need of a fast meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have to admit, I'm often tempted by the convenience of Panda Express, but this time, I was really disappointed. The chow mein was overcooked and lacked the heartiness I expect from the dish. The servers were friendly, but they seemed overwhelmed by the lunchtime crowd. I couldn't help but feel the food didn't match the price, especially for the small portions. While it satisfies a quick craving, it lacks the authenticity that would make me a regular customer. " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, I am torn about my visits to Panda Express. I appreciate the convenience when I’m on campus, but the lack of authentic flavors makes me hesitant to go back. My last meal left me feeling unsatisfied; the vegetables seemed overcooked, and the overall taste was flat. The staff was great, they handled the rush well, but I can’t ignore how subpar the food was. Without a doubt, it needs improvement overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" Panda Express has been a campus staple for quite some time now. I've had a love-hate relationship with it. On good days, their orange chicken and fried rice hit the spot perfectly. On bad days, it can be overly greasy and the portion sizes leave you wanting more. What really bothers me is the inconsistency—sometimes the food is piping hot, and other times it’s lukewarm by the time I get it. The atmosphere is always busy but that's to be expected at a popular spot. I'll probably keep going because it's convenient, but I do wish for a bit more care in the preparation. " (*Curated Review*)

" I stopped by Panda Express during a busy weekday and was surprised at how efficient the staff was. The food is what you’d expect from a chain; adequate but not outstanding. The sweet and sour chicken was decent, but the side portions seemed smaller than before. Still, if you’re not expecting gourmet, it's a manageable option when you need something quick. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is perfect if you need something quick to eat. Although the food isn't the most authentic, you can always count on it to be decent. I particularly like the orange chicken. That said, their portion sizes seem to shrink every time I visit! If they could work on the size and maintain the taste at the same time, I would probably come back more often. " (*Curated Review*)
