For quick and cheap Americanized Chinese food, I recommend this place. (For clarity, I have found Panda Expresses have wild swings in quality depending on a few factors. So this is a review of my experience at this specific location.) FOOD: Surprisingly good. The teriyaki chicken has been a favorite of mine, but this is the first time I had a proper sear on the chicken. The orange chicken was its typical acceptable guilty pleasure. The chow mein had a better texture than usual, likely due to the cook getting the wok temp up to appropriate heat. It takes gumption and confidence to risk the burn for a proper sear. SERVICE: The service was surprisingly good. Cordial, polite, helpful, and not chock full of platitudes or useless filler conversation. He simply took my order, got it right, and handed me my food. He got the portion a touch big, but I don't mind... ATMOSPHERE: To the fault of corporate, the music was horrible. I give them credit for turning it down some, but then all the conversations surround you. I recognize that you don't go to a Panda Express for the atmosphere, but Corporate, spend a little more to avoid pop music from Wish, please. The tables were clean, the chairs pushed in, and the trashes were empty. (I ate here at 4:45 for reference, so not peak time.) CONCLUSION: For a Panda Express, it is operated above average and my experience was enjoyable, as a quick meal between Home Depot and some house chores.

I placed an order on line that was $60. For fast food, I consider that a pretty big order… online said it would be ready at 7:05. Husband got there at 7:00 they had 5/6 meals done and were waiting on one. They said 2-3 minutes. 7:17 the ONE meal is not ready all the rest have been sitting on the counter for almost 20 minutes and they still couldn’t give a time line. I had to call and talk to manager Jacob who was much nicer than the kid who picked up the phone and laughed at me. But still nothing was done. The broccoli beef had 1 piece of beef all the rest was mushy cold broccoli which I included a photo of. $60 for cold mushy food, and pretty pathetic customer service. I most definitely won’t be ordering here ever again.
