Panda Express

Ni Hao! Honestly, I don’t really like Chinese food. However, I like how fast it is to order and how fast the food is cooked. I always get some Orange Chicken and Noodles. Recently, though, I noticed a quality drop (the food seems to be dry now) and prefer to eat elsewhere. But, oh, my favorite part? Fortune cookies!

I wouldn’t think to rate a chain restaurant but today was the worst. Usually I’m used to the veggies NOT being fresh but today they were so dry and they gave them to me with all this white liquid on the bottom. Then an hour later that good did NOT wanna stay in my stomach and I’ve been puking for hours. Never again!

I go to this panda regularly and haven’t had much of a issue. I usually don’t write reviews but this time was odd… When I got home and stated to eat my chow mien I started to chew and something didn’t feel right it wouldn’t break down in my mouth so I continued to chew. Then I pulled out the object when I knew it wasn’t food… My mouth taste like chemicals and I found it to be rubber or plaster? Maybe cocking but even had a little dirt on it. I’m so disgusted It ruined my appetite being the taste of whatever it is wont leave my mouth!

So I came with my daughter at 9:10pm. Bad mistake because there is NO fresh food left cause they close at 9:30pm. Rice was dry and more than half the food selection was gone. They didn’t want to serve anymore food except the old leftovers. They cared more about closing than service and quality till close. Booooo!

Seriously disappointed by this Panda Express. While I have had great service at times, it seems to be hit or miss, and most disappointing is that the orange chicken is always extremely dry and crusty looking — major lack of delicious orange glaze. I mean, what’s the point then?! Gross. Might as well go to the Safeway in the same parking lot for better «Chinese food».

I can’t believe I’m reviewing a Panda Express. a new low for me, perhaps it says something of Milwaukie.
I’ve tried the local competition of Chinese-​American fare in the area, Wongs garden, Imperial Garden, HongKong 97. I can describe them simply disappointing and somewhat appalling. Oh gosh, I looked that Panda Buffet spread and promptly ran out the door.
And in comparison, at least I can see the food first at the Panda, the chowmein was actually regular noodles, not weird cracker things. Kungpao was spicy, and not sweet.
And if they are low of something, they will cook up a fresh batch. Hey this is a key tip my friends. Just ask for fresh food if it looks old. they can do it rather quickly.
2^nd tip, always get it to go, because the containers have more room than the plates.
3^rd tip, some items carry a premium cost, avoid these as they are over priced, eh, except the angus steak and asparagus, I actually find it quite tasty.
So in conclusion, Panda Express is not appalling or disappointing. and I’d go back when I haven’t the energy to drive out to the 82 and division.

SCREW THIS PANDA!!!
I JUST had the worst experience here and sadly it has tainted my view on this place entirely. I work right across the parking lot and where I work we aren’t allowed to leave the store unattended, duh. I have ordered panda and the cute little blonde brings my food across the parking lot and I’ve done this about 4 times.
Today I was running late to work and didnt have time to stop and get something or pack a lunch. I called and got a very angry asian man who YELLED and GRUNTED at me on the phone and said «We can’t» which I heard as «We can» due to his accent, I proceeded to order my food and then he started shouting «NO! NO! NO!» into the phone at me and said «CANT CANT CANT!» I asked to speak the the blonde girl manager and he informed me she wasnt there today, he kept asking where I worked and I would tell him and then he would ask if it were some place else when I had already told him like 12 times.
Now I am starving, and pissed. Thanks, Panda.

Slow lines let’s see about the food. … Its glorified mall food. It was luke warm and bland. The sign says «no MSG added» I think the key word is «added» Most all of the food dishes were empty or very close to empty. Service here is kinda strange the server doesn’t make any eye contact and makes grunting noises to communicate. No joke.
The restaurant was cold and messy. Stuff scattered on the ground everywhere.
I’ll skip this place next time.

This location is good for a Panda Express. It’s a newer location and has updated décor serving dishes. I did notice that there were a few dishes (broccoli beef, the current steak entrée) that looked as though they had been sitting there for a while. I asked about it, and the girl said it had only been there a few minutes. Hard to believe. She was helpful also, picking out the onions in the string bean chicken breast before putting it on my plate.
My order was rung up currently. However, she forgot to ring up my boyfriend’s food, thus creating a somewhat awkward situation for herself and us.
I ended up ordering the broccoli beef, which was a mistake. It was cold shortly after I sat down, and it tasted off.
Overall, however, I would prefer this Panda location to many others I have visited.

Not very filling for what they charge. How expensive are rice and noodles? Only about a tablespoon or two of the main dish. Gals serving seem a bit confused with the product. Food was warm but, chicken/​mushroom dish had a burnt taste. The ingredients seemed to be fine. And like all McDonald’s owned chains, if you want soy sauce or any condiment, it will not be offered unless you ask. I wonder if that is a bonus incentive? Or is it just laziness and stupidity? Probably, the latter. Have you ever been to a Mickey D’s and they didn’t act stunned or put out if you ask for ketchup with your fries? Not often I bet. Especially at the drive-​thru. Who ever heard of such a concept? Ketchup on fries? How esoteric! Is it coming out of your salary? In my humble opinion, this place is a bit of a joke. Sorry. How hungry do you have to be to go here with so many other options? Unless time is a factor. Or this is your first time in a Chinese restaurant? And you’re 5 years old! It would be a lot more reasonable if the price was two dollars less per dish. Just corporate greed. It certainly isn’t about the labor cost.

Extremely slow service and often out of food. Prefer the Oregon City location

This is a new Panda Express location in the Oak Grove Shopping center. Everything at this location is very clean and well maintained. The Service here is always really fast and friendly. I specifically like the service provided by the counter employee named Bridgett, she is extra friendly and courteous and always makes me feel welcome, I’ve been going back because of her five star service.
