Panda Express

I walked into Panda Express at 8:40 PM (20 minutes before they close) after work so that I can get dinner for my family. As I was entering I found the staff cleaning up the counter and that there was absolutely no food available.
How can a restaurant stop making food an hour before they close. There a losing lot money and a lot more customers.

I feel like I’m committing a crime by giving Panda Express a positive review. But this place gets the job done, and that’s all that really matters. This place is located within a QFC, and in fact the smell is so strong that it immediately hits you as you walk into the doors. That might bias me, and it must all be part of their plan to make people hungry while shopping for food. Well, I can’t blame them because it works.
The portions are fairly hefty, and you can get a decent-​sized meal here for under ten dollars. Bonus points for some of the choices being at least somewhat healthy, though you have to pick the ones labeled with green cards. I only like Americanized Chinese food from time to time, but when I do, it’s nice to have it from somewhere like this. Beware, they don’t take QFC gift cards! I had to find that out the hard way.

Was in the neighborhood and thought that it sounded good. It’s conveniently located in a strip mall. It’s housed inside QFC grocery store.
The menu, because I don’t go there very often is unfamiliar to me… The staff allowed me to review the menu patiently and when I was ready they walked me through the different portions that came with the dish that I selected. They were fast, courteous and friendly. Everyone that I made eye contact with behind the counter had a smile on their face… As if they were happy. There is limited seating.

I was super bummed by my experience, I waited in a line for a bit, not a problem, I then was rushed to tell her what I wanted as my two items for both entrees even though you can’t really see everything if your not ordering up front, again ok it’s busy, she grabbed the handle to an item I didn’t order and politely said oh I wanted the item in front, she corrects me and said I’m stirring it so it doesn’t look dry, I say oh it looks good to try and sound polite, was ignored, went to go check out and was asked if I wanted sauces I said sure! I wasn’t paying much attention so when she said ok I went to grab my bag and she snapped at me «you said you wanted everything I have to GET it first», super rudely! Then she just threw a bunch of stuff in the bag all hard, then I replied excuse me I thought it was already in there, she didn’t even look at me. I wanted to ask for my money back but I guess I because invisible once my receipt printed. So rude, I said please and thank you, it’s not that hard. I won’t be back.

I went in to pick up a quick dinner and ordered the «bigger plate». When I got home I opened the dinner tray up and had a three inch long black hair stuck to the inside top part. It was disappointing to say the least. I could not bring myself to eat it as humans are disgusting and vile creatures. Hair nets? Did the employees have washington state health card? I blame myself partially for going there and not being more observant to the lack of hair nets. I won’t be stepping foot into a Panda Express for the rest of my life that’s for sure. I have delicious photos of my bigger plate with «extra» ingredient and hopefully I can show you fine people just how my din din was!

Want some cheap, tasty and fast chinese food, this place is where you want to be. They have really good options to tangle everyone’s taste buds.
My personal favorite is Orange Chicken, kung pao chicken, chicken egg rolls and black pepper chicken.

This Place so Organize amazing people that work there. i do not have a problem with this place at all you receive the best services here especially from this one worker Theresa she is so kind so thoughtful even when its busy she will still ask you how your day was… SHE IS AMAZING

I ate a piece of chicken off of a coworker who brought in Panda Express and it KILLED my stomach. I have NEVER felt so bad after eating bad food and I’ve been stuck in my shift all day needing to throw up. The coworker who got the Panda Express is sick too, now. And this isn’t the first time that I’ve heard of people getting sick after this place. Terrible. I don’t know where they get this crap but it’s sickening. Literally. I’d give it no stars but thats not possible here.

Really like this place all most the same each place I travel they keep it frash and really tasty I like the grilled teriyaki chicken

The food was hot and tasty. I fainted when someone actually provided table service instead of sitting behind the counter! They came out and offered water instead of my having to go to the counter.

They are chronically understaffed during the dinner rush. They also need a better system so that people can order faster (it really is not difficult — i don’t understand why people can’t make up their minds after having already stared at the menu for 5 minutes while in line). The food is passable.

So many folks like to diss Panda Express, but read the reviews! They may not want to admit it, but people really like this place, and with good reason: it’s good! Sure, it’s hardly fine dining, and yes, it’s not authentic Chinese food. Yes, it’s in a QFC. But my family gets take-​out from here every few weeks or so, and we all love it. They have a pretty good selection of dishes (one of my kids doesn’t eat meat, and she always finds a dish she can eat here, no problem) and everything is cooked up fresh. They occasionally have specials and good deals or coupons for free entrees. The people behind the counter sometimes run a little cool, and I wouldn’t want to eat at the tables there («dining» in front of the QFC cashiers? No, I’ll pass, thanks), but we like the food a lot.

A Panda Express that’s not in a mall??! SCORE! My husband actually said he’d be willing to come here to pick up some to-​go food for us which he NEVER said (without my asking) of any other Panda Express because they all tend to be in malls!
This spot is pretty standard, you *do* get what you expect from a Panda Express. I’d recommend getting your order to go so you’re not hanging out eating in a grocery store though ;)
And, as always at a Panda Express… It’s all about the ORANGE CHICKEN! Yum!

Decent fast food Chinese. If you’ve been to one Panda Express then you’ll have a good idea about what this place is all about. I give this place 4 stars because it certainly helps my fix for Chinese food. Definitely better than most Chinese fast food places.
PARKING: QFC parking lot.
SERVICE: Standard.
AMBIENCE: You’re eating in front of the cash registers at a supermarket.
FOOD: Fast food Chinese food chain restaurant. Better than most places.

This place is ok.
I cannot expect much from Panda Express. The food is mediocre. It is cheap and fast after all.
The last time I was here, I was in line forever and it was dinner time. I saw another staff walking around but did nothing to help the crowd move. Eventually one other staff came out to help. When I was at the checkout line, the staff took a really long time to organize random stuff and I was not acknowledged for a good minute or two. That was odd.

I used to go to this place a bunch but then started trying other places. Like even the chinese food at Top Foods and Drugs is better, and the same deal too.
Panda’s orange chicken has too much batter and not enough chicken. You’ll get a lot of little pieces that you’ll end up avoiding. However, their chao mein is still good. I just feel this place is a little overhyped.

Once a month I order from this place for our office. It’s an amazing deal and everyone loves it!
I have always worked with Albert and he’s great, always friendly and makes sure everything is ready when I arrive.
This week I called for Albert but since he wasn’t in I spoke with Brandon, the manager. He took my order & payment and I thought all was good. That was until I arrived today and Albert had no clue what I was talking about. Brandon wasn’t in yet and turns out he simply forgot to place my order. We all make mistakes but when he did come in he kind of shrugged it off as any problem.
Once he realize his error, everyone did their best to get it all taken care of in about 25 minutes. Even though they forgot the fortune cookies, everything else was fresh, hot & tasty.
Brandon apologized and offered me a discount on our next order. I will continue to order from this location because the food is great, the price can’t be beat and up until now, everything has gone perfectly.

Starving on a Sunday and having been on the road all day driving back home from Portland, I wanted a Chinese food fix that did not involve copious amounts of food and $. Not to mention most places that serve Chinese are closed on Sunday. That’s when my husband and I decided to go for some Panda Express in the QFC at Bella Bottega.
I haven’t had PE in about 6 years or so. it is definitely a step up from Safeway’s deli Chinese but it isn’t quite like restaurant style, considering it is fast food. But it seemed higher quality in a different way. The entrée’s were about 7 each and that included 2 different combo options with rice, chow mein, or a mix. I also ordered cream cheese rangoon and they were pretty good. I chose to try their pepper shrimp and it is wok fried with fresh asparagus and other veggies. The orange chicken also hit the spot.
If you’re looking for something quick and easy to fill you up and are lazy and in the mood for Chinese I think Panda Express is the place :)

I will always love Panda Express’s orange chicken!
This particular Panda Express is actually in QFC! It is perfect when we go there, get some groceries, pick up dinner and add a Red Box movie on our way out! You can also eat in a little dining area next to the panda express at the front of the store. It’s nice to eat there, too. We’ve done that a couple of times!
The service is great, no complaints there. Depending on when you go, there may or may not be a long line, but even if they run out of a food, the most we’ve ever waited was maybe 5 minutes.
I am totally a fan of this place! :)

Ah Panda. Before I visited this location, had not had Panda since my college days at Penn State. Panda is like the best Chinese food for places with a dearth of Chinese restaurants. Panda was probably like the 2^nd best Chinese place in State College, PA. Sadly, Panda is probably the 2^nd best Chinese place in Redmond behind Sichuanese Cuisine. Now that is just sad.
Prices for a plate are decent however. At about $ 6 for a two entrée combo with chow mein, fried or steamed rice is not too shabby. There is a decent selection of items, particularly like the Beijing Beef and Beef & Broccoli. Still it is buffet style food. For better taste, it is best to pick the items that are fresh out of the kitchen. For me, Panda is a nostalgic place where I go to escape. A place which reminds me that Panda is better than the dorm food I chomped down in college that was passed off as Chinese cuisine. But not by much.
