Panda Express

Where to begin. Absolutely rude workers. NEVER get the order correct. When you call to let them know they are horribly rude. They will ask for your ID only half the time and whe questioned why they are not consistent are even ruder. Food us always old and small portions. I drive to the Eubank location for fast, friendly, correct and all around great service.

Welp I suppose their ‘new’ recipe for fried rice is just tasty-​fine sans the egg & with the drive-​thru window post that gives reason «due to the Nation-​wide shortage of eggs our recipe for fried rice has changed, tell us what you think!»
It’s lacking egg & hence protein, that about sums it up… no real taste difference,
The drive-​thru wait was excessive though & not sure why… from the time I entered ‘The line you are fully committed to once entered’ til I got my simple order of rice n egg rolls took approximately 8min. Kinda lame but whatever. I think what bugs me is that you cannot drive off, you’re in median Hell bound by its ridged confines, unless you have a four-​wheel drive!

I don’t find this place nearly as offensive as some of the other options. The drive thru does get really backed up but if you know that, just go inside. The benefit of going inside is that you can see what is freshest. The food right out of the wok is the best option even if it’s not what you had initially planned on getting. The busy lines usually means fresher food.

Wow. I used to be a big fan of panda but that was long ago. IMO, food quality at panda has really taken a steep nose dive since the days I was eating at panda 3x week (UNM location.) And this location has always had its issues but its close to the crib and sometimes we crave panda so Im like what the hell, right?
Well, tonight was the last time I EVER EAT at panda express. I ordered the chow mein and 2 entrée dish (kung pao & sweet fire chix) and all of it was junk. Just look at the picture of the sweet fire chicken… there’s no chicken! Its all batter! WTF?!
Needless to say the plate went in the trash. Peace out, panda.

Worst Panda ever.
Food made me sick, employees were rude and stand-​offish. Took the food back (barely eaten) and they didn’t care to even apologize, much less refund or replace my meal. Will not be back here, ever.

Faster to come inside than go thru drive thru… For it being lunch hour I was able to get my food, sit down and eat! It’s no hayashi hibachi but food is good and not expensive

Twenty-​six minutes from order to pickup in the drive-​through last night. I figure this is similar to getting bad service at a restaurant, it shouldn’t necessarily taint the review, every restaurant can have an off-​night, etc. But this chain should have the to-​go lane down to a science, Express is in the name, after all. Terrible experience, it totally screwed up our evening, I will be issuing a corporate complaint.
I did manage to chuckle, however, as we sat there waiting. These guys are still using pandas to promote their new chicken and steak dishes. We didn’t have anything better to do, so we Googled «what do pandas eat». 99% of the diet is bamboo, less than 1% are small rodents, didn’t read anything pertaining to cow, but what are you gonna do. I would’ve loved to be in the board room when this stroke of marketing brilliance was suggested.

I’ve never been disappointed or thrilled by this Panda Express. The food is good, but pretty forgettable. It’s just one of those I go just because it’s close, inexpensive, tasty, and filing. The restaurant is clean, the service is fast and accurate, and they’ve been incredibly consistent over the last year. Great spot for a quick meal, but it’s not exactly impressive.
In case you’ve never been, they have a buffet style set-​up and let you pick two or three entrees in addition to chow mein or fried rice. Most of the dishes are things you’ve heard of before, like Orange Chicken or Sesame Chicken, along with some more interesting house creations, like the fantastic Beijing Beef. Most of them are pretty good, with a few duds and a few that are very good. Avoid the egg rolls though, they suck.
Surprisingly, the food is almost always freshly made and new, even when the place isn’t busy. That’s just good management there. They’re pretty generous when doling stuff out, such that I usually get two meals out of a three item plate. Great deal.
