There’s been a time or two where they have been out of a lot of food but overall they tend to have menu items prepared. Food is pretty consistent in taste and amounts. Recently tried their steamed broccoli and I’m actually a fan of it. Love the sweet fire chicken (has a little kick if you’re not used to hot food). Mixed greens are a good low calorie option, as well as string bean chicken (I think).

Panda has really declined over the years. Not sure what happened. It's never been a healthy option, but it used to taste good. The Chow Mein was dry and without flavor. Hardly anything in it either. The Orange Chicken was hollow in flavor. After the initial foretaste there was nothing there. Maybe it was old. Beijing Beef used to be their flagship, but it was also dry and had an oily taste. Very bland too. Honestly it was the very least enjoyable visit than at any time in the past I'd been. And this is finishing a slow decline. Service was standard. Not good or bad. Cleanliness was so so. Just a below expectations visit. If anything, it was good for my kid as the noodles had so little veggies in it, they really liked it. It can be affordable. If you combine options, like ordering a Bigger Plate and a side of noodles, you can feed two for less than $20 , which is what we did.
