Recent customer feedback provides insights into the service and food availability at this location. One reviewer shared a positive experience regarding a staff member named Yasmin, commending her for her hard work and efficiency during a busy period, even suggesting she deserves a pay raise. This positive feedback led to a 5-star rating based solely on Yasmin's service.
However, another customer reported a negative experience when visiting one hour before closing time. They found only one food station open with a limited selection of four entrees, along with rice and chow mein. Two of the available entrees were described as looking old. When inquiring about other entrees, they were told there would be a 20-25 minute wait, as the other food stations were already being cleaned. Despite placing an online order later, this customer was disappointed to find that their ordered items were replaced with what was left in the steam table, specifically Kung Pao chicken (string bean & mushroom chicken) instead of their original selections. They were offered free plates from a missed DoorDash order, which they accepted to give to someone in need, but ultimately expressed significant disappointment with their order.
Local users considering Panda Express should note these recent, contrasting experiences. While one review highlights exceptional customer service from a specific employee, another details issues with food availability, preparation close to closing time, and order accuracy. It is advisable to consider these perspectives when deciding to dine at this Panda Express location.

Give Yasmin another pay bump if you haven’t already. I came in 1/29 around 8 at night. A customer at check out was having issues with the mobile app so the person who serves the food after Yasmin decided to leave her position and help out the person who had the issues while the cashier did nothing but stand and possibly help the person after. To cut this short. She helped like 4 people and the lady in front of me asked for like 5 plates. I didn’t get the other ladies name but she should have jumped back in the help her instead of going to the lobby after trying to help that lady with the mobile app. Even after, she still left Yasmin on her own. I’m sure that woman makes more than her and Yasmin held it down. Only has 5 stars because of Yasmin. Nothing else. Employees hard work should be compensated not just recognized.
went to this location one hour before closing with my daughter and husband , knowing that they will still have their station full . When we got there they only had one station with only 4 entrees available and just rice and chow mien 2 of the entrees from there were already looking old , they told me if I wanted the other entrees I had to wait 20-25 mins .. they were already cleaning the other station where the other entrees were . I was so dissatisfied and disappointed that we just decided to leave. In the end I ordered it because it was too late to order anywhere so I ordered online so they maybe make an exception to make our food but they just made adjustments. after when I picked up the order they told me if I want some free plates that were made for a door dash order because it was never picked up . So I accepted so I can give it to someone in need… when I got home and opened up my order I realized the changes , instead of the items I ordered it was replaced for it was replaced with Kun pao chicken (string bean & mushroom chicken)… i thought that they would make them after I ordered it online but they didn’t. They just put the items they had left in the steam table and didnt make the items we had ordered online .. I never thought they would do this …i was so disappointed with the order …
The panda express is right across from the Starbucks and it has plenty of parking in the lot. When you are craving quick and easy in the area, this is a good panda to go to. If you’re like me and you haven’t been to Panda Express in a few years, you should know that they no longer do samples, which seems really common after COVID. I tried ordering online and the website didn’t work so I just went in to order. They do a good job with customer service in person and keeping everything clean and as fresh as possible. For example, they ran out of “super greens” broccoli and instead of pulling another pre-made tray from the back, they let me know it would be a few minutes for a new batch to be made. The cabbage (or at least I think it was cabbage?) was pretty soggy and overall the food was very heavy. I got one of the last 3 chicken egg rolls and it tasted like it had been sitting there for a while, and it was so dry I needed about 4 of the sweet & sour packs to be able to eat it. While I’m really glad they have a vegan option, the Beyond Original Orange Chicken had a very unusual soggy chewy consistency and wasn’t even close to the original in my book. I was going to get the beef & broccoli, but it looked very unappetizing in the tray (the beef looked gray) so I went with the asada steak instead. If you’re not used to eating fast food, this won’t sit well with you either.
Every time I come here it’s a horrible , they never give you what you pay for I asked for beef and broccoli honey walnut shrimp and chow main. I don’t expect an overloaded plate but at-least what Im paying for. I asked for beef and broccoli literally WHERE is the beef. and I live 15 minutes away to even come back Just to make a complain over it. my bf got the same he wanted bajen beef but it wasn’t ready, he asked for beef and broccoli instead and he was able to see when the girl served his plate and he asked for more meat because it only had one little piece of beef Just as the first picture ! The girl looked at him with a face got a little tiny piece ( just one ) and through it in like whattttt .?!
They prioritize online orders instead of serving the customers there in person. Line was out the door. I dont think Im coming back.
