Great experience here tonight , food was amazing and service was excellent, kinda busy but got served fast and friendly. Paper straws gotta go tho !!!! Ban these !!! Sweet tea was good and so was the crab Rangoon’s A must visit place while in Gville for some good food
No free samples available. Strange for an American-Chinese chicken place. If I had samples I’d be able to tell that some of the chicken was dry. When it’s fresh it’s a lot better and you can tell by amount (full tray). That dropped value. The competition next door (bambuu) - does give free samples FYI. I would go to whoever has the fresh stuff if you want fried orange chicken or similar. Panda does not have bourbon chicken tho - while bambuu does.
Very disappointed. I will for now on go to a different location. Waited forever and a day. Got home and my beef and broccoli taste like cigarettes. Had to throw it away. Also the cook and the manager were arguing. It was a mess. Avoid.
I always see Panda Express and finally decided I was going to try them out. I have to say in my head I thought, " The food is flavorful & and amazing." Maybe I set the bar too high. Maybe it's just not flavorful or amazing. It's more basic and dry. Big disappointment. I ordered through the drive-through, and I have no complaints about the service. They offer these different sauce packets, and maybe I was supposed to drown it with that. But nope, the sauce was not going to fix the dry, tasteless noodles and rice.
Staff is really nice and friendly first time ever going to a Panda Express. Atmosphere is good very neat and clean. Also well lite inside with outside seating options. The food was okay. It lacks a flavor punch. The food has a very light subtle flavor. Not at all what I was hoping for. It is not bad place to eat. But on flavor alone I was not at all impressed by it and was really let down. The orange chicken didn't at all have the usual spice you would expect. If you are looking for a real flavor filled punch to your food. Might want to go somewhere else. All in all not bad if you are really hungry and this is all there is around.
