Panda Express

For fast food, this is one of my favorite places to go. Great food for what it is and that is a quick dine segment of the restaurant world. Can you get a better dish of Chinese? Yes. But you will not find to many that are better and in the speed of this Panda Express. The building is very clean and wide open so you can see the food is cooked in a trustworthy manner. We love their chow mien and orange chicken combo and kids meal.
In a time crunch for lunch and tired of the burger joints, this is a good one!

I’ve had better Chinese food in my high school cafeteria. It was cold, old, and nearly inedible. The employees were SUPER rude. The cashier couldn’t wait to throw my food through the window so he could get back to his conversation. Panda Suck-​ass, I give you no stars.

Three or four stars? This was a close call. I went with four because of the food (the service pushed it closer to a three).
This Panda Express is a new addition to our community. This was my first experience at the chain. The layout is like that of Qdoba. You go through a line a customize your plate. For the money, a lot of food. I have no complaints on portion sizes. The guy that was filling your plates was helpful to the family before us with «how this works». The menu board was informational enough for my hubs and I to get the gist.
The selections are laid out before you in all of their glory. So you actually see what the entrees look like which I loved. The selections all looked very fresh and promising. It was hard to choose. I chose the Mushroom Chicken and the Orange Chicken with fried rice and spring rolls. Hubby’s two were Chicken Shitake and Sweet Fire Chicken with an egg roll. After worker #1 completes your entrée it is ppassed to worker #2 for sides. He also collects your money.
Hubs figured he must have missed where the mustard and soy sauce were on the line. I volunteered to go get some. I went to the gentleman at the cash register and asked for mustard. He quickly handed me six packets.
The temperature of the food was not quite hot enough. I forgot to ask for soy sauce. Went back for the soy, he was with another customer and seemed a little put out that I was back. He roughly handed me three soy packets.
At the drink station, it was a disaster. It had not been tidied up in a while and I almost slipped on an ice cube.
Our food was all room temperature which was very disappointing. I want my food HOT. Also, the Mushroom Chicken didn’t have a lot of flavor. Which is a shame because I would do almost anything for mushrooms.
Saying that, the Orange Chicken made up for it! It is so very good that I almost have no words! A light crunch, not too sweet, a little heat, and just flat out good! It is evidently their signature dish and I can see why.
So, overall, disappointed at their efforts. We have A LOT of options or Asian food in our community, We may or may not be back.
