Customer Reviews
We stopped in last night for dinner and had the best experience we've ever had at a Panda Express. I myself don't eat there often (My teen kids do all the time) , so I was not super familiar with the menu. I have a dairy allergy so whenever I go somewhere new to eat, I have to awkwardly stand off to the side and google menus, ingredients, nutritional info, etc. This was the first time I went somewhere and the person serving the food new EVERY ingredient and EVERY preparation for ALL the items. I was blown away. The young man was so kind and informed. The woman working near the register was also fantastic. She let us taste their new Panda crafted drinks (I ended up getting the Peach one). Panda Express needs to give the staff there last night a raise! Again - I'm still astonished that the guy knew all the ingredients - well done.
My food is always cooked. Perfect never had any issues and when calling on the phone about mobile orders and getting extra sauce or utensils they are always super nice and courteous. 10/10 !!!
I have been eating panda express since I was 15yr old, now 34. There was a time I ate it EVERY SINGLE DAY for months and months. Over the last 2 years the quality has degraded aggressively. The chicken is so fatty and inedible I actually threw my entire meal away today. Idk how you can make white rice and teriyaki chicken so disgusting but you have managed to pull it off. They really need to stop being so cheap with thw quality of meat and grain they ship to their stores.
Went there at around 7:30 July 15 got fried rice, half of the grains of rice were uncooked. I also got steak and broccoli. The broccoli was uncooked. Seems like it never even looked at a stove.
Terrific service and attention. Ordered catering and it was ready by time I requested and food was nice and hot. Diego was helping and forgot girls name with ponytail but she was amazing and will come back to location. Please the girl that greeted me and my daughter needs a raise or promotion.
