Panda Express

No orange chicken, no sodas and bad service. It’s not according to the Panda Express standards.

Ok for a quick bite at the airport. While the sweet and sour chicken is good, their chicken fried rice lacks flavor.

Very friendly and helpful staff. They are alway pretty busy but it’s worth the wait. I reccomend the steamed white rice with orange chicken. Yumm

Clouds of MSG wreak over this place! The service is incredibly slow and someone is clearly asleep at the switch in the kitchen because the food never comes out after waiting 20 minutes you finally give up and leave

I don’t get the low reviews. For quick, Americanized Chinese food, this place was awesome. The chow mein was tasty, the orange chicken a little heavy on the breading-​to-​meat ratio but still delicious and crispy, and the beef and broccoli was very flavorful. Plus I got to be the annoying Chinese girl stinking up my flight with Chinese food.

Eh. Chain food in an airport. This was the healthiest option in my terminal so I went for it. Of course it’s too expensive for what you get but panda does offer larger portion sizes than other restaurants in the airport.

HELL YES BEST FOOD IN TERMINAL B.
— Half Chow Mein
— Half Fried Rice
— Orange Chicken
— Beijing Beef
Enjoy your food before your flight!

It smells sooooo good, but is never a good decision. I know it seems like a good idea, it isn’t. Walk away, don’t do it. I did and now i have to suffer through a 3 hour flight.

Reviews for the sake of reviewing: Why do I always end up eating at Panda Express while waiting in the United/​American Airlines terminal? Oh yeah, because I’m sick of Potbelly’s (a horrific experience where I ate nothing but PB sandwiches for a month that ended up ruining all future PB musings); the Italian Restaurant seems too greasy and I’m not in the mood for pizza; Fuddrucker’s seems expensive; I’m not in the mood for Dunkin’ Donuts or Pretzels; and, for whatever reason Jet Rock just doesn’t seem like the grill for me. So all that’s left is … Panda Express. It always seems like a good idea at the time. The portion sizes are reasonable for the price you pay (2-​Entrée Plate for $ 7.07). It’s just that Panda Express always tastes like fast food and never satisfies my inner craving for authentic Chinese food. So no matter how much I dread eating at Panda Express … I keep coming back because there aren’t better options within the terminal. [Last Visit: July 30, 2010]

My quest for dinner in National Airport continues. Out of misguided optimism, I thought I might get something spicy and flavorful here. The verdict:
Hot and sour soup: Not at all hot. You can imagine it is sour if you close your eyes and concentrate. Consistency of runny snot.
«Beijing beef»: Resembles General Tso’s chicken, only with beef. Not at all hot. Pleasant texture. Vaguely resembles real food.
«Chili sauce»: Comes in packets. Cloyingly sweet. So sweet it was hard to tell if it was hot. Vaguely resembles ketchup to which something unspeakably terrible has been done.
I’m giving it two stars because the beijing beef was edible, and my meal didn’t make me feel sick afterwards, and in this terminal of the airport that’s a pretty good deal! You should probably go to Potbelly’s instead though.
