Panda Express

The worst nightmare for me during my trips, is the inability to spot a Chinese restaurant. And I am so happy to see the Panda Express there. I was so relieved to order Chow Mien together broccoli. Sure, it is not real decent Chinese food, but it does make a difference. Also, the price is very reasonable, so I would grant a four star to encourage its improvement.

Your typical Panda Express in an airport.
What was shocking to me was the price of the items at this Panda were the same prices as one not in an airport. Usually, everything is marked up in an airport.
For my friend’s order, they skimmed out on some of the sides, so her togo place wasn’t full.

«Hello preas.» The ladies at this PE were like carbon copies of Mr. Lu Kim from Southpark. They ran out of my favorite entrees before dinner time and had no plans to make anymore. I understand that this is an airport food place and they all suck but go somewhere else.

Panda Express is Panda Express. You know exactly what you’re gonna get, and how you’re gonna get it. I like this place. It is what it is– it’s Panda freakin’ Express. It’s what Americans want to eat. It’s crispy orange chicken. It’s fried rice. It’s Kung Pao. But ya know what? It’s GOOD. The food is never gloppy with sauce. It’s never undercooked. It’s always fresh, and frequently attended to. It never tastes heat-​lampey. The eggrolls are always perfectly crisp on the outside and delicious inside. It’s not what an 80 year old SIngapore grandmother will serve up, and it’s not fine dining with lacquer chopsticks. It’s Chinese-​American fast food, and I love it. And coming from me, that’s some pretty high praise.
Plus… it’s pretty much the only food place at BWI where people will smile at you. Just sayin’…

The previous reviewer is ALMOST right — crap minus the tastic! I’ve never been a fan of Panda Express and can count on one hand the times I’ve allowed myself to indulge in such a poor excuse for Americanized Chinese. But this is by far the worst location, ever!
Desperate for some rice carbs and lean as lean can be for fast food chicken, I selected some kind of honey glazed dish, minus the extra honey sauce. Much to my chagrin, and disgust — not only was it greasy dark meat, but every piece I bit into had a THICK LAYER OF FAT attached! Can we say — Grody to the Max!!! I mean, they couldn’t be bothered with trimming the excess fat from it? It was blatantly fatty and slimy!
Never again!!!

Smaller portions for the same price as other PE’s I’ve been to and FAR fewer chow down options. But they offer the same craptastically awesome americanized «chinese cuisine» and fast service ;-)
