Panda Express

We visit this location every 4 – 6 months, hoping it will improve.
Today was a visit and it has not improved.
They still need to clean the place! Weird smells from bathroom or drink dispenser (couldn’t tell, didn’t want to investigate further). The floor was sticky, and there’s a 2′ wide pothole at the entrance (bad feng shui, Panda).
At the lunch hour, when you think the place would be on top of things, half the pans were empty but not because there was an army of people. A few dine-​in customers and drive-​up steady but not busy. Except for our February visit (see below), I always have to wait for them to cook a fresh batch of mushroom chicken or steamed veggies or brown rice==it’s always something. My dining companion never knows to start eating or wait politely till my order is filled.
We visited in February and were astonished that they hit on all cylinders. Unfortunately, it was the once-​in-​a-​lifetime successful day.

This place is fairly good for fast food but a bit pricey. Some times they are out of what we want and that can be frustrating.

Really yummy. I’ve loved Panda Express since way back in the 90’s when they became a mall food court staple. Food has always been good. I’m sure someone will tell me it’s unhealthy or something, but it’s still yummy and I don’t get to indulge myself of their chow very often.
Only issue I have is with the specific location in the Greeley, Colorado, location at Centerplace — They’re chronically slow when busy and chronically under-​staffed. Obviously lots of people love this food as they get really, really busy.

Panda Express is cheap, American-​ized Chinese food. Unfortunately, I have had the same items taste drastically different on separate visits. This is concerning. When it is good, it is pretty good. When it isn’t, I question coming back. But I eventually do. They are a little better than decent most of the time. I wouldn’t go out of my way, but if you are craving this type of food, why not?

This place is Soooo good. The best location of all panda expresses by far! Although, they have a ton of employees that speak very good english… they always have the same lady taking drive thru orders and I can never understand her. not sure why they’d put her in drive thru… but it’s overall a great place.

They forgot my chopsticks but it was good I like they have drive thru

It’s a chain with greasy food. It’s about what you expect to get at a (proper) mall food court. it’s fast and it tastes halfway decent. They have the calories on the food as your order it if you care about that sort of thing.
I always get the Chow Mein, the Steamed Veggies and the Veggie Egg Rolls (which come with a yummy sauce). It’s pretty good for the price and how fast you get your food. It’s nothing special though.

AVOID RUSH HOUR. I work across the street from Panda Express and have frequently had to alter my choice for dinner because it’s backed up. The food is average panda express… since the wheel turns so fast there though the food always seems to be freshly cooked, which is a definite plus!

This is our favorite Chinese/​Asian restaurant in the area. We go as often as we can. Love it!!! We get mushroom chicken or mandarin chicken or the honey walnut shrimp. Service great too

Five stars for service. The food isn’t bad for fast food either.
Every time I go in the staff is all smiles and the manager is visibly making rounds, talking to guests, and often behind the line helping the other employees. I think that’s above and beyond for a fast food establishment. You can tell that this guy really cares about his job and strives to make every experience a good one and his attitude rubs off on the other employees.

Chinese fast food. ahem – I’ll revise that to Americanized Chinese Fast Food.
Spreading over $ 700 million dollars (in sales as of 2005) worth of Chinese food across North America like a rapidly growing fungus.
With locations in Longmont, Fort Collins, and Loveland, how did I end up at the Greeley location – twice? I go to Greeley about once a year, so that may always remain a mystery.
In fact, upon entering this most recent time (²⁄₂₁), I had no recollection of ever being there before, MSG induced amnesia might be an explanation…(Actually I have no idea if they use MSG at all, so that statement is actually unfair to PE.)
I was really surprised to see Asian people actually working there. After carefully investigating my options, and having the wait person explain how the food is served, I ordered Peking Beef in a bowl, over Fried Rice, to go. I also got 2 orders of veggie spring rolls.
I ate about ½ my order. Hmm. Actually I ate exactly ½ my order, even throwing away 2 of the eggrolls. Nothing in particular was wrong with the food, it was just not tasty enough to entice me to eat to my usual state of immobilizing fullness.
Although I’d like to support a minority, family owned (yes, family owned, the more than 700 locations are not franchises, but all owned by the original family) business…
I simply can’t swallow it.
