Panda Express

This place has repeatedly closed their drive-​thru well before the posted time of ten o’clock. When I went to the door to ask what was going on the employees just looked at me and went back to what they were doing. Such lazy people…

I have tried to come here twice now a few minutes before they close and they have closed early BOTH times! I’m very unhappy about this and will be reporting it to corporate.

All my Asian friends hate Panda Express lol, because «it’s fake Chinese food and too greasy.» I MEAN. Nobody expects nor considers Taco Bell to be «real» Mexican food. Plus, Chinese food– authentic or not, it’s gonna have a lot of grease in it. But for me personally as well as my family, we don’t mind Panda Express. It’s fine for a fast food take out place here and there. I wouldn’t recommend it for someone who was looking for a good Chinese place to eat and it’s not the greatest thing ever to exist in the world, but it’s not horrible either and I don’t think it deserves all the bashing that it gets. Panda Express is just one of those quick stops to make when you want any type of food or if you’re tired of everything else lately or if you’re starring in a film where your relationship is going downhill and the love becomes bland and you’re both sitting in front of an old TV eating Chinese take out boxes in silence with tired faces.

My favorite things to order here are their chow mein noodles with sides of orange chicken and Beijing beef. I like caramelized meats and these are both tangy sweet and spicy yet not overly done. Another good side that they have is the honey walnut shrimp, but this one costs an extra dollar and they always let you know if you order it to make sure you’re okay with that, which I always am. If you like your veggies, then there’s also their broccoli beef which has a very mild healthy taste. I love their veggie egg rolls because I prefer the vegetables instead of chicken filling for my egg rolls and it is very crispy and delicious with duck sauce.
Never had a problem with service here. They’re friendly and helpful if you have any questions or want new recommendations. If you want chopsticks, be sure to ask because they don’t give it out to everyone since the majority of customers don’t know how to eat with chopsticks. Also, Life Hack: I would definitely advise you to order a small fountain drink, then go back for refills because it’s cheaper than paying for a larger cup LOL. Their water cups are adorably mini-​sized. If you drink a ton of water, sit close to the fountain because you’re gonna have a lot of walking to do.

Opted for the 2 Entrée Plate with side. Had the Kung Pao Chicken and Orange Chicken with ½ Fried Rice and ½ Chow Mein.
The Kung Pao had almost no chicken, but had a decent flavor but could be spicier.
The Orange Chicken was better. At least you can see the chicken.
The Fried Rice was too gummy and somewhat bland tasting. The temperature was also lukewarm.
The Chow Mein was probably the best part as they didn’t give me what was sitting on the line. They gave me fresh product right out of the wok. It could stand a bit more cabbage tho.
The restroom floor was so greasy and grimy that I felt like I was without skates on an ice rink.
The girls serving were pretty friendly.
I give them a C; average rating.

One of the worst dining experiences ever. It was a Sunday, so I am guessing the food was left over from Saturday because that’s what it tasted like. The lid and straws were not stocked, and the trash cans were overflowing. Those things are acceptable if you are busy. They were not buy that day. There were about 3 tables, and one crack head lady that kept pacing around the place, talking to herself, and just making everyone uncomfortable. The staff didn’t seem to mind that she was there. I got my family out of that place as soon as possible. I don’t think all panda expresses are bad, just this one.

Oh my goodness you have to try the cream cheese Rangoon, at three for a $ 1.90 they are absolutely awesome. On the other hand, The two spring rolls for a $ 1.90 are absolutely abysmal. They’re mealy overly oily and kind of flavorless. The big dinner which has three mains and one side are a great value under $ 9.00.
Service was fast and friendly. Not to mention that having a drive-​through makes it super super simple.

Awesome place, came back twice yesterday. The orange chicken & teraki chicken with fried rice is the best.
Great place highly recommended :)

The orange chicken bowl with fried rice is really good.

Ok for on the go food. Although the food is a hit and miss. Today my beef had too much thick sweet sauce. It made me nauseated after half my bowl. And it wasn’t even an entrée size.

Good, quick Chinese-​ish food. Surprisingly clean after a Cowboys/​Redskins game.
