Panda Express

Service needs Help. Today, waited 5 minutes for someone to show up at the cashier stop. Two sitting, in the dinning area. Other workers walking by but not checking me out, or getting some to take my money. Food is good, although they are always out of some items, then you have to wait not 5, but 10 minutes.

I actually had the nerve to always make fun of this place before I ever tried their food. One winter evening, while in a hurry, we decided to stop in for some reason. What a surprise! While it’s not top tier Asian, it’s actually good. Plenty of variety and it seems they add new dishes regularly. I’d classify it as somewhat fast food but it’s more expensive than most fast food ($ 25 for two adults and a kid’s meal). One negative is it can get pretty cold in here during the winter with all the in/​out traffic.

Besides the mall food court, Fort Wayne has 2 stand-​alone P.E. locations. This one is the better location — by far. My teenage son asks for P.E. alot. We drive the extra miles to get to this location. (The new store on Lima Rd is in desperate need of a well-​trained manager!)
Very delicious food! I give it 4 stars, my teen son would give it 5.

I have never been to a Panda Express before, but my teenage son loves them. So, I was running an errand at lunchtime, and whoa– saw one at Jefferson Pointe — freestanding near the Dick’s store (yes, buying my son even more basketball stuff). I went throught the drive-​thru, and was worried, because it was busy and I didn’t want to hold up the line by studying the menu too long. I quickly reviewed it and decided on the Orange Chicken. So I ordered it. She asked if I wanted fried rice, and I said yes. She gave me my total and that was that. I hate it when drive-thru’s try to suggestive sell, but in this case — it would have worked. I had no idea what (if anything) came with the orange chicken and rice. An egg roll or drink would have been nice. But, like I said, I was trying to be thoughtful to the people behind me in line. Just Orange Chicken and rice, but that’s ok because I really eat too much anyway :) The chicken was flavorful and tender, and the rice was fluffy. The rice could have had more flavor, but it was good. I will definately be back. Too bad they don’t have a free-​standing one on the North side closer to where I live.

This Panda always seems understaffed. However it is still very delicious!
