Panda Express

Before going out to eat at a restaurant, I usually look through their menu (s) online first so I know exactly what to order when I get there. Despite this being a fast food chain, I made no exceptions. Though nothing like San Francisco or NYC, Wichita has quite a large number of «American Chinese» restaurants. These places all offer the basics: orange chicken, beef and veggies and fried rice (fortune cookies for desserts? Score!). I looked through PE’s menu and something caught my eye: eggplant & tofu. I wanted to try it and I wanted it immediately.
I got into my car and drove approximately 15 minutes to PE. I wanted to eat comfortably at home so I ended up going through the drive though instead. I was greeted by a friendly voice. I asked if they had eggplant & tofu and she said no. I was so sad. I didn’t want to go home empty handed so I ended up ordering their Beijing beef and orange chicken. «Thank you thank you,» the lady said to me.
For a fast food chain, this was not fast. There was only one car ahead and I waited for about ten minutes before it was finally my turn to drive up to the window. At first I thought the car in front had ordered a lot but I was wrong. I don’t know what took PE so long. I should’ve just walked inside to order. Perhaps it would’ve been a much faster process.
Overall, I was disappointed. Not only was I not able to order what I was craving for, it was also a long wait. To make things worse, I ordered steamed rice but got fried rice instead. The entrees were average. I could easily get these elsewhere. PE failed to impress me and I won’t be back.

Service was acceptable but not extra friendly by any stretch, food quality is what gets only one star. Because this is a cafeteria style serving line the foods not used frequently will sit until they are eaten which results in rubbery textures and cold food. NO THANKS, this place has had far too many chances to correct this continuing issue.

Never had a bad eat at this place. Can’t believe anyone would find this place pricey, it’s very reasonable considering the large portion you get. Love the black pepper chicken, but my favorite is the plain teriyaki chicken. You get a big portion and the teriyaki sauce is hot and tasty. I’ve eaten at them all, but this is the best of the ones in Wichita. Convenient to get in/​out onto Kellog. Recommend highly.

As far as fast food goes, this is the best. The menu does seem to be a bit hit and miss though, some the items are really good while others seem to be pretty terrible. It is also a bit pricey, but not too ridiculous. Considering the food is delivered at the same speed you would get at a burger joint, but with the quality of the food is at least triple that of a normal fast food restaurant, I would say it’s well worth the money and is a great place to eat.

this is a clean panda express and the Beijing beef wuz DELISH!:-) it was busy so everything was hot n fresh.

Sweet and sour chicken was dry and hard to eat. The orange chicken and fried rice were pretty good. But it is on the expensive side when it comes to fast food its more of a restaurant price.
Service was very good, we were offered free samples of whatever we wanted. Place was clean. Drink selection was a bit bland.

Not excellent, but decent Chinese for fast food. A bit pricy per person but a decent value of you share a dinner plate. Spring rolls are passable, Rangoon is good.

Very good food!!! Nice people! We are not from Kansas, we got there close to closing time but they were very kind and polite, specially the manager Kevin, he has a tender heart for people and kids!!! We’ve been blessed for being here tonight!!!

Its not the best of all Chinese restaurants, but it is the best chain Panda Express location I’ve been to. The ones in CA are awful; but this one was well seasoned, well prepared, and reasonably portioned for the price (I mean tons of food if that helps). Military discount is a bonus. Drive thru takes a bit long, but eating inside is nice and very casual. Its well kept and clean. Wish I could transplant this one in my town.

Meh. It’s chinese fast food, I don’t understand why people crave Panda Express. Eating there a couple times tasted like I had just hit a chinese buffet for one trip. Nothing was really all that memorable or exciting or cheap, even. Meeeeeeeeeh.

Excellent, excellent fast Chinese food. Being brand new they do have long lines and sometimes the staff can get a little frazzled but still completely worth the wait. I’m so glad Wichita finally has the famous Orange Chicken! And definitely try the Kobari beef.
