Panda Express

In Clinton the Management is criminal –they are always slow and understaffed. Expect lines to the door and the slowest process ever for pre cooked Chinese food. Don’t even think about it unless it’s an odd off peak time.

Before trying this particular location, I was not a fan of Panda Express. When I have tried other locations, the food always tasted as if it were sitting out for hours. The Clinton location always has fresh food out. I usually get a bowl with fresh veggies and orange chicken. The staff is friendly and the restaurant is always clean. My only complaint is that this location is always packed because it’s the only one in the Upper Marlboro/​Clinton area, which means that there is usually a long wait in line. Other than that, I like it!

Short and tangy ^_^
I haven’t been to Panda Express in a long time, maybe a year. I was craving Panda Express since last month and my boyfriend finally found one closer to his house. It was a long line almost out the door, I guess this place is really popular around here. They had the menus at the top so you can see what you want to order. The inside is very clean and the bathroom as well. As soon as you get to the counter they will asked you what is your side, of course I wanted half and half fried rice and lomein which is no extra cost. My two entrée was orange chicken and fiery chicken I believe; one thing I did not missed about Panda Express is how salty the orange chicken is, maybe that’s why I haven’t been here in a while. The customer service was mediocre nothing special. I would come here again if i’m in the mood.

It is a shame to give panda express 2 stars. The food is so so, but is nice to have as a quick easy meal. The problem is, there is nothing quick or easy about this panda express. The line is always so long and I have often gotten the wrong order when I do takeout.

This review is strictly based on management and I’m going to qualify it with the fact that I have absolutely no tolerance for unnecessary lines. Fast food is supposed to be fast, hence the word «Express» in the name. This place is anything but. When I arrived last night (between 7 – 8) the line was back to the door and curved around. I stood there for about five minutes and not one person was served or exited the restaurant during that time. I, being me, decided I really couldn’t do this and left. The line in this place is always longer than it should be. Each time I have been successful in reaching the front of the line there is always a lack of food and you have to wait for something to be cooked. You will always be told five minutes for something which then takes ten. This, to me, is a management issue. The manager should know the restaurant’s busiest time and be adequately staffed. There should be two-​three cooks during the busiest time and at least three people on the front line. One person should not be required to prepare the plates and operate the cashier. Food should be constantly arriving from the kitchen to the steam table. Not in this place. Since I value both my time and my money, I will not be frequenting the Clinton Panda Express until management improves and decides THEY value my time and my money.

This is going to ramble a bit because I haven’t been in a while. So here it goes.
As much as I don’t want to like this place, I really enjoy it. I want to give 3.5 stars, but I can’t. The orange chicken is great. I love it. I think that they sneak pixie dust in with the sauce. The fried rice is dry, but keeping rice moist on a hot line is tough. The other menu items are what you would expect in a food court chinese joint. Nothing special. The orange chicken is good though. I also like the different iced teas they have. Tasty and, as far as I’m concerned, healthy because they aren’t soda. The spring rolls and egg rolls are actually disgusting. Mushy and the egg rolls are overly fried. Did I mention the orange chicken? Culinary heroin I tell you.

Decent food. Not much else in the area. I have been here a few times and it is always clean and the food is good. One of the better options for lunch in the area.

Clean restaurant, FRESH food, and will prepare fresh sides like spring rolls or rangoon if you ask. Accurate and fast and friendly staff. A goto favorite for lunch in the area. They could easily expand for more seating, as they stay very busy.

Orange chicken FOR THE WIN! The steamed veggies are fresh, I mean really fresh. No frozen or boiled vegetables here, they are freshly cut each day… a great choice to go along with your fried choices of food :-) Yummy iced tea too.

Staff is friendly, place is clean. It’s a Panda, best thing is they are open pretty late.

I went into Panda Express in search of steamed veggies. this was my first visit because I usually drive right past on my way to other stores. I did find the steamed veggies, along with the Honey-​Walnut Shrimp and half & half steamed rice/​lo-​mein. The meal was very good and flavorful. The serving was plentiful. The servers were very helpful. Who knows. I might become a regular here.

Staff is always friendly and accommodating. I eat there so frequently the staff know my favorite dishes!
