Panda Express

Haven’t been to this Panda Express (or any other one) in a long time, thought I would give it a try. Got the mushroom chicken and honey-​walnut shrimp. For $ 1.25 extra, the honey-​walnut shrimp should be pretty darn good, it was just ok. Like the rest of the meal (and what other reviews have said), ok place to stop by if you are hungry but not for really good food.

Not recommended. 9pm Wed nite. 50% or more entrees not available. Ordered simple orange chicken because most bins were empty. Nuggets were like rocks. Dry and flavorless. Customer service? There is none. Rude, bored employees. If I was the owner, I’d spend more time here. You won’t see me back here again. This wasn’t the first time I ve been disappointed with this place, but tonite is the last.

Customer service was very terrible most especially the filipino woman named COOKIES! She’s acting like a SHIT! Second, they put a little bit. I got orange chicken but it was only 5 pieces and got some brocolli chicken but mostly are just the brocolli. Got some kung pao chicken but only peanuts and vegetables inside not too much chicken. We we’re so dissapointed we will never come back again!

I had to post this from my early dinner yesterday at Panda… I was rushed and went there to get a quick dinner. I’m not a huge fan of «Chinese fast food» but I do crave it every once in a while. I went yesterday to have Kung Pao chicken. The new Firecracker chicken caught my eye so I got that, white rice and fresh veggies. Omg! This was the best Panda meal ever! To top it off my receipt had a voucher to redeem for a free entrée. I will be redeeming that within days for more Firecracker!
Well done Panda!

Good Americanized Chinese food. I love the orange chicken and it’s always very consistent. The only problem is the location of this Panda Express. There is a large amount of homeless and day workers here so just keep your eye out. Other than that my daughter loves it here and it’s her favorite…

Food is always great and service is great it’s quick quality Chinese food and the place is clean and staff is friendly

This is always a good place to swing into when I am in a hurry!
The staff is so friendly, the food is decent for basically «fast food»
And I think it is cute that they will let you taste stuff before you decide, although I rarely take them up on it.

Closest Panda express to my house (unfortunately). For some odd reason no matter what time of the day I come, the food is always dry. The orange chicken and honey walnut shrimp always look like they’ve been sitting there for days. I had to wait over 30 minutes for my meal because they only had like 3 shrimps and I needed 2 extra orders. Customer service could be better too. The girl who served me was laughing and talking to her cooks in Spanish after I ordered, which made it seem like they had a problem or were talking shit. Granted I was very nice and just asked for extra orders. I was the only person ordering at that time since it was like 830, so I didn’t think asking for extra side orders of shrimp would be such a «hassle».

I check the website for the schedule, got there 11:07 pm, they were close and the staff inside they didn’t open the door even to tell me why they closed 23 minutes before (web site says that they should close on Saturday at 11:30 pm)
Love PE, but I will never go back to this location and I saw that other people had same problem

Always like the orange chicken. If ever there was a dish that was perfected, the orange chicken is it. Second favorite is Kung Pao chicken. From experience, never eat the Kung Pao chicken in a dark movie theatre. It is hard to see the little chilies and they are extremely spicy. The décor is up to date. The service is fast and friendly. Didn’t like the way items are bagged for to go orders. The little box containers are top heavy and don’t seal. Add in traveling in a car and you have sauces leaking all over in the bag.

The food is good, have eaten here before, service is good, never had a problem, then why 1 star you ask, here is why. It is Saturday Aug 2^nd at 4:30pm and I am literally watching two employees argue at the register about how to do ones job. The lady in green is going off on the cashier in red, why do I need to see or ESPECIALLY hear any of his. Where is the manager… that is why 1 star!!! Stupid!!! One in green needs to be reprimanded!

WOMEN: Have a promotional modeling gig at an expo or desperately need to lose 5 pounds in a short amount of time to make that bikini look good? Come to the Tropicana Panda Express located near the Bank of America and order the Fire Cracker Chicken.
MEN: Have a weigh in for a fight tomorrow in the UFC and are currently 5 – 7 pounds over your weight class and don’t want to be docked points on the score card? Come to the Tropicana Panda Express located near the Bank of America and order the Fire Cracker Chicken.
I usually don’t review fast food restaurants because everyone’s been there and already have their own opinions but I had a unique experience at the one on Tropicana…
Had the fire cracker chicken and it tasted excellent. Portions are small and the place makes 2000% profit on white rice (which I usually don’t get) charging $ 2 for something that costs a dime to make, no thanks.
The real fun began about 30 minutes after the meal. Explosive diarrhea (from bad chicken, I presume) that had me running to the bathroom a dozen times in a 4 hour period til there was nothing left in my stomach.
…and to me that earns a 3-​star «A-​OK»
Casino pools are due to open soon and I can now see my abs in the mirror. I may specifically visit this location the night before I’m due to spend a day in California at the beach or if I have friends in town who want to visit the casino pool.
Plus you get quality alone time away from your girlfriend/​boyfriend to comb facebook and play candy crush on your smart phone while you are locked away in the bathroom for 30 minutes.

My first impression was not so good. The bathrooms were locked for cleaning, the food was sparse and not fresh, and the staff didn’t even say hello like usual Panda fashion. And, after they eventually opened the restrooms — they didn’t even look clean. But I opted to try out the food since I was seriously ready for some Chinese food. I made a comment about the food not looking so fresh and they cooked everything that my boyfriend and I ordered on the spot for us. My faith was restored. The noodles were particularly tasty, even moreso than other Panda locations.

If I had seen a Chinese restaurant in the vicinity of Charlie Frias Park that is rated highly, I would of made it lunch. I am a fan of the Chinese restaurant lunch specials. They are one of the best deals in town. I didn’t do my homework, and after burning fuel driving around, I wanted to grab lunch and get on with exploring Charlie Frias Park. I checked-​in at the Panda.
These days my opinion of the Panda has changed. The average $ 9 plus tax transaction for a two item combo and medium beverage trails behind the pricing of genuine Chinese restaurants. Especially at lunch.
In my book, Panda Express is a good choice when it is in a large place with a captive audience or when the area lacks good Chinese restaurants. This location is an example. It is in a location where a transient stretch of Tropicana merges into Las Vegas communities. The majority of restaurants are fast food eateries in the shadow of the Orleans. When I dine here it is more out of convenience than hunger. In my situation it was near Charlie Frias Park, a quick yet creepy walk.
This Panda has a large footprint. I cannot see a problem with ever getting a table.
The chicken with mushrooms, fried rice (they also have brown), and chow mein was fast food good. Where Panda outbeats local Chinese restaurant lunch specials is in their chow mein. At the local restaurants I often leave over the chow mein noodles where in Panda, the chow mein noodles on my plate turns to air. Problem! Chicken with mushrooms was not my food of choice. This location suffered from what I call the Panda Syndrom. This is a major flaw when the food trays are empty causing a presentation of metal and cooking oils (to put it kindly). This looks bad. They would be doing the customer a favor by putting a cover over the empty food trays. Possibly showing a panda with a frown saying «Sorry we will be cooking new food.»
When there is a good Chinese restaurant nearby and I am unrushed I will probably pass over Panda. However, when I am hungry and want to move on, the Panda will probably get some of my check-​in love.

Before this experience you would have had a hard time getting me to come with you to a Panda Express. However, my coworkers wanted me to come to lunch with her and this is her favorite place so off we went.
She originally didn’t know that this location existed & she was also pleasantly surprised.
Upon arrival, we were greeted very nicely and walked into a very clean restaurant. The staff was very friendly and attentive.
I enjoyed the fact that they offer steamed brown rice and brown fried rice. It is nice to see such options.
The food was amazingly fresh, my vegetables cooked perfectly with some crunch to it. It wasn’t heavy in oil or grease to my surprise either. I have ate at other Panda Express’ before but I do not ever recall leaving one, thinking that my food was pretty good and that I would return. They also carry this peach green tea that I cannot get enough of.
One of the staff members walked around while we ate and asked everyone if everything was okay. He did this a couple of times during my visit & he made sure to not ask the same customer twice. I like that.

The food looked like it’s been sitting there for hours. I picked a few things that I really didn’t want to eat but it looked more fresh compared to the other food items. The service was good but not a fan how the food looked… dry and sitting there for hours or so. Maybe it was the weather because it was raining… who knows.

I frequent this location as it’s close by to where I work.
Plus I need something cheap and fast.
I can usually get my food and leave pretty quickly, unless there’s someone in line undecided what to get or if there happens to be a long line.
It can be busy at times. Usually it depends if there is something huge happening across the street at Orlenas Arena.
Also I find it strange, at busy times (like dinner) that stuff isn’t prepard and ready to go.
The orange chicken can be bad or good depending who makes it.
And I’m talking about freshly made if can be bad (over wok’d)
For the most part I get good service.
This location does have a tendency to have people begging or prostitutes walking about.
I actually prefer the Burbank, Ca location.

Bad customer service. Cheaply made marble tabletops are dangerous and the manager will blame you for them breaking. I won’t be back here again.

CHEAP + FAST = EASY LUNCH!!!
It’s panda express so everyone know what that means cheap, typical, and pretty tasty Chinese food. It’s near my job and though there are many other Chinese restaurants this one is quick and I know what I’m getting, and usually I’m lucky to get it right out of the Wok, and even it wasn’t— I still get a bowl to go.

I know Panda Express is viewed by many as ‘fake’ Chinese food… and that’s fine by me. I like the ‘fake’ Orange Chicken from Panda Express better then the real stuff I have had elsewhere, so from time to time we will get lunch from Panda Express.
The employees are always friendly when I am there, but I must say, it’s kinda weird to have people serving you ‘Chinese’ food while they speak to each other in Spanish…
