Panda Express

It used to be good 2 years ago. Not anymore the new employees are messing this place up. I have food allergies so I expect to get what I order and that's not what I got. This lady started to clean my area excessively and made me feel unwelcome. The cleaning liquids made me sneeze a lot plus she wasn't good at cleaning at all, there were big chunks of food on the floor after she " so called" cleaned. She was very rude and disrespectful why is she "working" here? The only thing she looked like she was able to do is give the other employees hickeys. 🤢It also took a long time for my order, my food had never taken this long to be given to me. I had to take Benadryl afterwards. 😞

How does a Panda get 3 stars? Walking in with my wife and kids I greeted the staff jovially and was answered back with the sound of crickets. 🦗 I don't expect everyone to always be in as great a mood as myself, but the atmosphere was worse than dead, almost unwelcoming. Angie was the first to make contact and got our orders underway. We got 2 three item plates and had some of the new sizzling shrimp. It was spicy, as expected, but otherwise just tasted like shrimp. Not bad. Just shrimp. There must have been over a dozen employees and traffic was pretty steady. We must have caught the staff at their lunch though b/c a half dozen were eating on their break. It really felt like I was in a prison camp. The sour looks and attitudes were a huge turn off. I finally got Angie to come out of her shell and smile. After that she was a gem. She gave me all the things I kept forgetting and with a great attitude. That nights saving grace. I've never been to a Panda that I didn't like. Foods clean and scrumptious. Restaurant clean and atmosphere exciting. This night got 2 out of three. Juan was the manager on that night and I praised Angie, but didn't tell him that the room felt foreboding. Whatever got the crew bummed out that night is hopefully just a temporary thing.

I understand you shouldn't waste food but we watched as the employee reluctantly gave us dry hard pieces of teriyaki chicken. It was time for these to get thrown out, not served to customers. The pieces were small, dark and hard. Tasted and looked completely different than the piece they cut fresh for us.

Manny did not greet or asked when I stood in front of him and looked like he didn't care if I ordered or not. Gave very small portion of chow mein and just average firecracker shrimp. At check out I wanted 2 paper plates, 2 chopsticks, 2 cups for water, and 2 spoons. You get the idea it's for 2 people right? Wrong! They gave me 1 spoon so I had to get in a busy long line (Friday dinner) at checkout again to get one more spoon. Jeesh!

I ate here for the first time. I ordered a plate with rice, noodles and green bean chicken. Nothing fancy, just fresh well cooked food. The food was excellent and the server was very nice and helpful. I'll return to this restaurant again!
