" Best service I've had at a fast-food place in a long while! The staff at Panda Express were welcoming and engaging. I really enjoyed what I had, which was the walnut shrimp and fried rice. The shrimp was tender, and the rice was flavorful, though not quite authentic. It's a bit Americanized, but I’ve come to accept that with such places. The atmosphere was clean and cheerful, making for a pleasant dining experience. It's a good place to satisfy cravings quickly. " (*Curated Review*)

" My latest visit to Panda Express was pretty solid! I often go there when I’m in the mood for quick Asian food. The staff is friendly, and I usually order their teriyaki chicken. There can be a long wait during lunch hours because it’s so popular among students, but it’s worth it if you don’t mind the wait. Overall, I will definitely return for a quick and cozy meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" I adore Panda Express for its convenience, especially during busy weekdays. The portions are generally large, and I always leave with a full stomach. My favorites include the sweet and sour chicken and the chow mein; they pair together wonderfully. It's fast food at its core, so I don’t expect authenticity, but it certainly satisfies my cravings. I would recommend it for a quick meal or takeout, as the staff is usually quite friendly, making the experience pleasant. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been a loyal customer for years, but I’ve noticed the quality starting to decline. I ordered the shrimp with walnuts that used to be my favorite. This time, the shrimp tasted a bit leathery, and they skimped on the walnuts. It seems like they are prioritizing speed over quality lately. On a positive note, the staff was still friendly and attentive. I hope they get their act together because I love this place too much to give up on it. " (*Curated Review*)

" I stopped by Panda Express today and was pleasantly surprised by the service. The staff was very friendly and made sure I got everything I needed quickly. I ordered the orange chicken and kung pao chicken with fried rice. The flavors were decent, but I did find the rice a bit bland. While I recognize it's Americanized Chinese food, I felt satisfied with my meal overall, and the portions were generous. I'll likely come back, especially since it's so convenient and close to campus. " (*Curated Review*)

" I brought my family to Panda Express last weekend, and we had a mixed experience. While the food was filling, I felt that the chicken dishes could've used a bit more seasoning. The ambiance was casual and suitable for a family meal, though I did notice that some tables needed cleaning. The service was okay, but I wished they had communicated better. I enjoyed the meal enough to come back, but I will definitely keep my expectations realistic. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Panda Express last weekend, hoping to find a reliable option for a quick dinner. While the service was friendly, I noticed that the tables were not cleaned well, which was a bit off-putting. I ordered the new walnut shrimp, which sounded amazing but was somewhat underwhelming in flavor, primarily because the shrimp seemed a bit overcooked. I also think they skimped on how many shrimp they gave compared to rice. Overall, not my best experience, but I may give it another shot since convenience matters. " (*Curated Review*)
