I like how there’s a variety of foods to choose from. We’ve been eating there at least 2x a week for the past 6 mos now. A couple of flaws I have with this #PANDAEXPRESS is that the female manager never really smiles; well at least sometimes she does. Although they do welcome their customers and offer to try some samples, the tone of their welcome in their voices do not seem genuine. For example saying«welcome…would you like to try a sample?» without a smile. Go there and you’ll see what I mean. Another is they run out of tea at the height of full service and… no sweeteners. WTH… go next door to Costco and buy a box or something. Other than this we love the food hence the Ohana welcome or smile.

Loved our service by Sonny. Food was fresh and tasted great! The place was also very clean. Great experience at this specific Panda Express!

Came here to grab something for dinner. Parking is easy and the place is a good size. Other’s were ahead of me as I was checking out what they had. Many of the foods were gone and the server was telling the cook to make more. As it was my turn, the eggplant tofu was out. The server told the cook to make more, but he went and cooked two other dishes before making the eggplant tofu. WHAT? WHY? No one else was ordering those foods and I was waiting for awhile now! Finally, he cooks my eggplant and tofu. Went home opened up my dinner and noticed that some of the eggplant was RAW! Gross! I didn’t wait and pay for raw eggplant. the cook is horrible! How can you serve food like that!

Great staff, always friendly. Never had a bad experience. And it’s panda, they don’t have anything that isn’t delicious. Except for that one with the leaves in it.

This is my favorite Panda Express. There are others that are closer to my work and home, but I drive to this one because of the quality of the food and the excellent service.

The manager Sonny is so friendly and is such a hard worker. I frequent here and day or night I seem to always catch Sonny here. He is always helping his team, wether it be cooking or taking the trash out he is an awesome manager! Food is great, they have gotten better with keeping fresh food and throwing out the expired. Staff is alright, sometimes language barrier is an issue but they’re all pretty friendly.

The manager, Sonny, is so nice. His customer service is awesome. Very upbeat! Every time I come here Sonny is working and his attitude is always the same. Everyone on his staff is friendly. They are quick and efficient. The food always looks well proportioned. I’ve been to a few others where it seems they put more veggies than protein. They also do things the others don’t(or possibly I only see it here because I only come here now unless I’m not in the area). They walk around and offer condiments and extra utensils and ask if everything is ok. Overall, the best Panda I’ve been to.

Panda express is good for what it is, which is chinese fast food. Authentic? Maybe not. But, flavor is there. Over the years, plates have increased in price. However, if you’re willing to share a plate with someone, then it’s possible to not put a dent in your wallet when deciding to dine here. What I really like is that they’re always coming up with new menu items, which most of the time, are pretty good and worth another trip here.

Stopped by to get dinner and what a disappointment. Worse customer service I have experienced in a long time. No greeting, annoyed food server, small portions no thank you for the cashier. Food oily, cold. I will never be back to this location. You have been warned.

Hi… I’m at Panda Express right now and we’ve been waiting for quite a while for our food. Agh the service here is kinda sorta really crappy. Geez mayyuun like seriously I see our food boxes just sitting there. Like wtf mayyuun. I am literally just sitting there watching other people’s food go by. My stomach is growling right now but, we finally got our food… Yay(^-^) But we waited like 30 minutes for our food. What is this ?? The food is only okay. I don’t think it was worth the wait honestly but… I like chinese food so yeah.

Piccadilly style Chinese restaurant. Pick this — pick that — pay at the end of the line. Good food, atmosphere is lacking. Get it to go.

FIRSTOFF, I eat here about 3 times a month, more or less. Everytime Ive come here I cant really complain, Panda is Panda. Ill consider that sometimes they run out, its late and sometimes the workers are horrible at understanding me or have an attitude… whatever the case. Tonight, me and my friend were very impressed. MARIE, is the bomb! She spoke clearly, didnt rush me, and assured me that if it was out they would have it made. AWESOME. She made our plates, she had a great attitude and she didnt rush us! GREATGREATGREAT service. I wish there were more employees like her! I cant tell you how nice it was to have someone finally not give me problems and hear me and just make my plate and get me out of there.

Love Panda, no problem — fast food Chinese food. The only thing about Panda is they’re so tight on giving food. Looks like counting how many grain of rice they’re scooping for you.

I usually have no problems with a panda express but the night I went service was extremely slow, I almost slipped on water by the soda fountain and the new dish orange chicken with bacon was a .50 cent up charge. Now I just came back from vegas and cali and had it there and guess what? No .50cent up charge. The only saving grace is the food was good and the staff was friendly. Even though they were slow I almost slipped and broke something and they tried to get more money outta me with bacon.

I love this Panda Express because it’s huge! A lot of seats to choose from and always clean. Aside from the comfortable size of the place, food is always fresh and the menu is always up to date. The servers and managers are awesome! I always get asked if I want to sample a new product. This Panda Express is also very slow most of the time and I love that I don’t have to wait in line. Hands down, best Panda Express in the Leeward area.

So far this is the only NY style Chinese food I can find on the island. Having said that, it will certainly satisfy your need to stand over the sink shoving deep fried goodness in your mouth. Orange chicken? Perfect. Fried rice? Above average. Kung Pao Shrimp? Delicious. Apparently I will have to go back to the mainland to get good sweet and sour chicken again, but this will do until then.

I am comparring this to other Panda Express locations and other«chinese» food locations. I like this one the best. It was the freshest, less congealed orange chicken I have had here. It is fast and you see what you get. Two entrees and one side is under 10 bucks. Not bad to fill you up.

This Panda Express is okay. Parking can be really hard to find cause they share it with many other stores. I’ve noticed that they get busy around 5pm, like the line out the door! The place is pretty big and spacious with lots of seats! Bring a jacket cause it gets super duper cold in there! This is the only Pandas in the area(closest one is Pearlridge), so that probably explains why they get busy. They always give huge portions, always have good service and food is very fresh and tasty!

Beijing beef, Kobari beef, half rice and half chow mein… that’s my standard order. Finish it off with a large fresh brewed tea that’s slightly sweet, I’m good to go. This Panda Express offers great service at a frenetic pace. The same girls have been there behind the counter for years, and they’re really quick with a smile, service, and a ‘Next?’ My kids, fortunately, love the food there, and my wife agrees with me that this is the best ‘fast food’ Chinese food we’ve ever had. In fact, I’m so in love with the tea, I sometimes go there just for the drink. The suck part of this Panda is not the restaurant itself, it’s the parking situation outside. The stalls are way too small, the lanes between the stalls are too narrow, and the turn outs around the curbs are too tight. Literally, I think the parking lot was meant for bicycles… not cars! I recommend parking in the furthest set of parking stalls under the light posts. Your chances of not getting your car scratched from another car are greatly improved the further you park away. Overall, I highly recommend! Oh, try a free sample of anything on the menu… they’re not shy about sharing!

Not good, not bad, just there. Plenty of seating, enough that it is easy to sit on your own and not feel guilty about taking your time. My biggest issue with the food at Panda Express is the almost total lack of individual flavor. Everything on the plate tastes like brown grease or clear grease. Sometimes you get lucky and get spicy brown grease, but you will never be lucky enough to taste something with a more complex flavor. So why do I end up here every few months? It is quick and easy, and never busy.
