Ordered double string bean chicken, there were like 4 tiny pieces of chicken… almost all string beans. Tasted fine but where’s the meat? Last time I’m going to Panda Express.

October 25, 2024 - ⭐⭐ 2 Stars My wife and I visited Panda Express 🐼. She got double Orange Chicken 🍊🐔 with lo mein 🍜, and I went with half lo mein 🍜, half fried rice 🍚, plus the new Blazing Bourbon Chicken 🔥🐔 and Black Pepper Sirloin Steak 🥩. My wife and I thought the bourbon chicken would be 4x hotter 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ than Orange Chicken, so we wanted to try a sample. But the staff refused us 😒, which was frustrating. Considering we couldn’t get a sample, my wife decided not to risk it, and honestly, I should’ve skipped it too 🥴. The bourbon chicken was way too spicy 🔥 and bitter 🥵—definitely not worth it. The service left a lot to be desired. The staff seemed spaced out 💤, not very friendly, and no one was smiling 😐. Only one person was helping guests inside while 5-6 others were focused on cooking and drive-thru orders 🚗, which slowed everything down 🐢. The lot this location sits on is tiny 🏠. The drive-thru line easily wraps around the building 🚗➡️🏢 and can trap you in the parking spots 🚫🅿️, making it really frustrating to leave. On top of that, it shares a single exit with Dutch Bros Coffee ☕️, making it chaotic and hard to navigate 😤. Princeton seems to have a trend with these cramped fast food spots 🗺️, which doesn’t help the experience. Overall, this visit was disappointing 😕. Between the lack of samples, the slow service, and the cramped lot, it just wasn’t what we were hoping for.
