    I was on my way home from work. ( working with animals all day and didn't want to cook so I seen panda express drive through. I usually go in but I was full of animal hair and wanted to be respectful. I ordered beef and broccoli. Got home and there was 2 tiny pieces of meat. I called and talked to Mia ( The manager). I told what had happened and I took pictures. I told her I was just there 5 min ago and ordered through drive through and did not get a receipt. She could look on the cameras. She said there is nothing she could do about it. I told her I will bring the food back down and show her and she said there wasn't anything she could about it. I called the next day and was told the Managers ( Guy) was busy interviewing that he would give me a call back. This happened 4 days ago and still Manager. Wow.

    This store is ALWAYS out of stuff. CONSTANTLY. There is one younger man who works at this location that is super nice, everyone else isn’t very friendly. I swear they will stop making fresh food by 7:30

    I was not impressed with the food at all. I went inside and ordered. The food was apparently "fresh". However, when I sat down, the noodles were dry and stale. The Orange Chicken was drinched in sauce. I didn't enjoy it. The eggroll was the only good thing about the meal. I was not impressed.

    Stopped in to get food at the drive-through for my family as we were driving across the country. Fried rice, grilled chicken teriyaki, and walnut shrimp for the win! Food hit the spot, reasonabley priced for the quality/quantity of food, and the drive-through staff were friendly and on point.

    Good place to eat at every now and then. I usually get orange chicken, and during peak hours there may be a wait for a new batch to come out since it’s a popular choice. On my recent visit, I had to wait for orange chicken in the drive thru so they had me park and they would bring it out to me. They may have forgotten I was there, so I went in and they apologized for the wait and offered me a spring roll or chicken egg roll. Usually quick service and consistent food.

    Went into the drive thro and the intercom was so bad I can barely hear the woman for food wise the rice was dry barely any flavor the teriyaki chicken was the boom as always beef and broccoli no flavor Sesame chicken was pretty good had lots of flavor the drive thro woman was cracking jokes with her coworker barely paying attention to us I guess thats what you get going there at 6:50 AND on top of all that MY HUSBAND ALMOST DIED he had an anaphylactic shock because of the fact that the egg rolls were fried in the same oil as shrimp and they do not have a disclaimer stating that there might be cross-contamination from shellfish to any other food that could possibly have an allergic reaction

    I ordered the bowl. I got to work and it was half full the noodles were all broken up. The sesame chicken on top ,which was only like 5 pieces was old and soggy. Even hungry I couldn't eat this. I guess thats what i get for having a 130pm lunch. PLEASE KEEP YOUR FOOD FRESH!

    The honey sesame chicken we got was cold but was quickly corrected upon request. The Kung poa chicken was good. Spring rolls were good but the sweet n sour sauce they gave us was cold. We were also disappointed there were no tea drinks. The staff was nice and the place was pretty clean.

    Went through drive thru had wonderful & friendly service. It was fast and reasonably priced. Got to hotel room there were no soy sauce packets unfortunately which was ok with the entrees but the side of fried rice didn't seemed fried. It was quite dry with no sign of soy sauce or whatever the sauce they use in fried rice it was more like it was a mixture added to rice then actually fried rice. I had the 3 entree plate with the original orange chicken, walnut shrimp, and black pepper Angus steak. All three were delicious. Other than the fried rice and lack of soy sauce which wasn't offered and I guess I should of asked about all was great. I would definitely recommend Panda Express to my friends and family. It was a very good first experience for me. My sister had been before she had the orange chicken with noodles bowl that she also enjoyed! Thanks again for the wonderful experience and food.

    Honestly really do enjoy eating panda. However it just seems like every time we've been coming back to eat here. At this particular location there always seems to be some excuse from the younger employees. For example: one shows up to this establishment. the posting says that they will close at 9:30 Pm. When we arrived we intended eating in the lobby. Also posted a said time the lobby will close. This was closed a lot sooner. So we ended up taking the drive-through. When in the drive-through still at about 8:18ish, we ask for a particular a particular entrée. The employee on the headset explained that they no longer were serving that entree and that they were not cooking any more fresh dishes at this time. That they were sorry for the inconvenience. What was weird about this encounter still was asking the employee why?! When they close at 930? No response to the question, just proceeded to order what 'was left.' When we reached the window to pay they completely forgot what one had ordered and did not charge correctly. The food was cold and very bland. Now today's encounter, 2.22.22. We were able to eat in the lobby early this time lol. The rice was not fully cooked it was soggy. Bland with no flavor. The meat was overcooked (Angus steak) The only real safe thing to eat was the Orange chicken. ******************************* However, There is a manager who's food tastes amazing and the establishment is clean. She is actually the one that's pictured on the television. Not sure when she's working, but I'm going to try and avoid eating here unless I know it's safe to eat when she's is working. If you are willing to have an upset stomach, come on in to Panda....if not, again just enter at your own risk. 😷

    The food was good until the young lady cleaning around us used the same broom she used on the floor to clean the seats... I'm sure that broom gets used in the bathroom as well...never again... that's nasty..

    I like Panda Express and this one's no different. The food is served hot and ready. It tastes good and is priced fair. Download the app to earn points for discounts on food. Also the chili sauce is pretty good when added to the rice.

    Fast & speedy service. Excellent chef in cooking the food. I had the Honey Walnut Shrimp in a large "a la carte" box. Taste was so delicious and I could taste the Honey flavor. Highly recommend this Panda Express because the chef knows how to cook food for deliciousness.

    Good Chinnese food. For 3 plates we pay 37 dollars. Not a bad deal 😄

    My experience with this Panda location #2382 save your money and enjoy the food from another restaurant. The food here has a nasty taste when you order a meal you get a huge portion of rice and the side meat choice would be either all vegetables in one small piece of chicken or maybe no chicken and a lot of vegetables for example, I ordered a bowl of lo mein with mushroom chicken. The portion of mushroom chicken was all mushroom and no chicken after I tried calling back the site every complain is through the website that never gets answered. The trick behind serving this way is to avoid expenses pasta is cheap rice is cheap and vegetables is cheap. If they have to put any meats, they reduce it by a lot so they can earn more with less expenses this is basically cheating the customer and by the way that simple plates cost me $15.

    I got Beef with broccoli and there were a pieces of beef and all the rest broccoli. I also for Beijing Beef and it was way too breaded. My side was the rice. NOTHING had any flavor!! I am so disappointed in them and wish I could get my money back!! Lesson learned and I will not go back!!!

    Great food and service here. I accidentally left w/o getting a drink I paid for and they got it for me on my next trip. You never have to wait long in line, they're very efficient. Highly recommend this location!

    I came in to eat Friday afternoon and the table I sat at had been wiped down with a dirty stinky cloth. The smell ruined my appetite and I threw my whole lunch away and left.

  • 3/5 Priscilla P. 1 year ago on Google
    The food is less than average. Although I did like their egg rolls and Rangoons, everything was edible but not palatable. Just save your money and try another place. This location sits on a corner of a very congested intersection. Getting into the location is challenging to get in and out of. Easier to exit on i10 feeder side to prevent hitting Garth rd. traffic.

    Food was good. Servers don't pay attention, like they had other things to do. Being a customer was an inconvenience

  • 3/5 robert l. 1 year ago on Google
    Went through the drive through and Ordered 2 orange chicken bowls and they only gave me 1 plastic ware and 1 fortune cookie! So my coworker didn't have anything to eat it with!

  • 4/5 LAJ S. 4 years ago on Google
    Ordered as takeout for the first time. Food was great! Lots of food for the price. Made me wonder why we had never gone before. Will definitely go back.🙂

  • 1/5 Malcolm A. 1 year ago on Google
    Never get my order right one time even forgotten I had ordered I was in the waiting section for 45 mins food never fresh and I have no idea what they are saying English is very broken 😞 I love Panda Express but this one is not one I’ll go to ever again!

  • 3/5 Chase G. 1 year ago on Google
    Was given a few rancid old shrimp buried under a pile of nuts as camouflage. Surely there's a policy on giving clearly spoiled food to customers. Most of my experiences have been positive so I will leave my review at three stars for now.

  • 2/5 Tonya R. 1 year ago on Google
    I understand people think that doordashing and doordashers can just wait however long but I was given two separate orders for two separate people one from Panda Express one from another full service restaurant I went to the full service restaurant first because I figured Panda Express would already be ready when I got there if I did I had to wait for them to make biscuits got to Panda Express and was informed it was was going to be seven more minutes after I had already waited about 7:00 minutes because they were waiting on steak why would my order not be ready if I had went to another order first and it took them 15 minutes to get it together so basically what I'm figuring is it takes 35 minutes for Panda Express
