" Panda Express is a solid choice when you're seeking a quick bite. I love their fried rice and the orange chicken. The service was fast and friendly, a definite plus! However, I'd argue the food isn’t the most authentic Chinese cuisine out there. It's just good for a quick meal, but don't go in expecting traditional dishes. Despite this, I do enjoy the flavors and would recommend it for a quick meal on the go! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food at Panda Express certainly had some flavor, especially the orange chicken! However, I found the portions slightly off. It felt like more rice than chicken, which was disappointing. The staff here is always friendly, and the atmosphere is clean and bright. Don't expect authentic Chinese cuisine, but it serves its purpose for a quick meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Panda Express yesterday and the environment seemed a bit chaotic. The menu looked appealing but when I received my meal, the portion sizes were a little underwhelming. The staff tried their best to keep up, but I believe they need better organization during busy times. Tasty food, just don't have high expectations on the authentic taste. " (*Curated Review*)

" Not going to lie, my family eats at Panda Express often. The food is generally tasty but less authentic than I would prefer. But the convenience is great! I had an experience where my order was incorrect, and when I brought it to the attention of the staff, they were quick to correct it which I appreciated. Keep an eye on your portions, though; I've noticed they can cut back on how much they serve sometimes. Still, if you're in a hurry and need something quick, this is decent enough. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited the drive-thru at Panda Express last week and I was mainly drawn in by their orange chicken. They always prepare it well! However, I wish they could offer more authentic flavors. It’s not a strong representation of Chinese food, but I appreciate their speed and the value of getting a decent meal in quick time. That means I would probably return again. " (*Curated Review*)

" Today, I visited Panda Express and I had an okay experience. The food was decent but feeling processed. The service was quick, but the staff didn't seem very engaged, which made the visit feel less welcoming. The honey walnut shrimp was good but not outstanding. I left feeling neutral about the meal, good to fill your stomach but lacking that authentic flavor I was hoping for. " (*Curated Review*)

" This is not my favorite place, I find the food doesn't resemble traditional Asian food at all. It's fast and indeed serves its purpose during busy days, but I can't shake off the feeling that it lacks flavor and authenticity. The chow mein, for instance, was a bit dry during my visit. Nonetheless, the space was clean and refreshing which is always a plus. " (*Curated Review*)
