Panda Express

Before moving to Memphis I would eat Panda Express on what seemed like a weekly basis back in Utah. So I was excited to discover this location here in Memphis. The thing that’s great about Panda Express is that you get a lot of tasty food for about 6 – 7 dollars at any time of the day and there are a ton of different options and combinations you can try. I typically go for the shrimp and the orange chicken.
The only negative comment I have is about the rice at this location. Something about it was off from other locations. It was bland bland bland. However, since that may have just been a fluke on my first visit, I will look past it.

Panda Express is just OK… It’s cheap and it fills you up and is fairly tasty.
The food ranges from fresh to really old depending on what you choose. All items are on a hot table for you to choose from. Good news is they will let you sample any of the entrée’s before you order so you can judge the freshness of the food before you actually place your order.
The orange chicken is pretty good for a quick lunch or dinner fix.
The interior is pretty modern and overall pretty clean. I have never been here when they are busy so I wonder if I they ever are.
It is kind of hard to get to from Winchester as you have to weave your way around the parking lot and dodge all of the idiots coming in and our of Sam’s and Wal Mart.

Consistently good, inexpensive, and reasonably healthy fast food. The staff is always friendly and eager to have you try anything before buying. The 2 item w/​a side combo is all I ever need, and I even have the flexibility of splitting the side with brown rice and steamed veggies. With a cup of water, this comes out to be under $ 8.

This is a fast food type of Chinese restaurant. Small, but with tables and take out. It’s located in the Walmart parking lot. Food is good.

This is very good cafeteria-​style fast-​food Chinese. It is a very clean and modern establishment. The workers are focused and efficient. The portions are hardy.

My friend fed me some leftovers of her Orange Chicken with lo mein and got me hooked. So the next time I was in the area and hungry I decided to stop by.
I went through the drive through (since that’s part of the appeal) and told the lady it was my first time. She asked if I wanted to come inside to try samples. WHY YES!
I tried the Kung Pao Chicken and the Sweetfire Chicken Breast and got both with Lo Mein. I also tried the Beef and Broccoli but didn’t like it. I will definitely try more things next time.
The Sweetfire Chicken breast is my favorite. It’s breaded and comes with red bell peppers and pineapple. It had a zing but wasn’t really all that spicy.
The Kung Pao Chicken packs a punch. I notice on the online menu it doesn’t list sun dried red peppers but I definitely had some in the one I got. I gotta say that they killed the flavor a teeny tiny bit and I only ate a few of them before I realized what was killing me and stopped.
The fried rice tasted pretty terrible until I added some Sweet and Sour sauce.

I was a little disappointed to learn that Panda Express didn’t actually serve Pandas. I settled for a Kung Pao chicken dish instead. The concept is basically a Chinese version of Subway, but with stir fry. My dish was good, better than expected, but I got to gripe about the price, $ 6.50. For the money, I could have gone to a real Chinese restaurant. The restaurant décor was modern, and the location convenient. It’s basically fast food Chinese. Good but not great.

It’s just fast food. good for a quick lunch. but very nice staff and super clean they also have a nice seating area outside.

Great customer service, clean atmosphere, large portions, and good food. You can’t ask for more than that.

Very pleasant staff and very clean restaurant. Standard Panda Express selections and the food is fresh and good. They are quite busy so they should do well here.
