Panda Express

Quick, delicious Chinese food. Hot and ready! Definitely recommend if you need quick, fairly healthy food. Delicious!

If you want Chinese food but don’t want to risk salmonella this is a good place to go. Not that I don’t like small non-​chain Chinese places, I’ve gotten some amazing food from them. But if you’ve ever spoken with a health inspector you will only eat at chain restaurants. Enough said.
The food is all precooked and when you walk in you are greeted by someone ready to dish you up your meal. First you choose if you want a 1, 2 or 3 entrée meal. Then if you want white or fried rice or lo main. Then your entrees. They have the classics such as orange chicken, Mongolian beef, sweet and sour chicken and seasonal and limited time specialties such as orange chicken with bacon or tempura firecracker shrimp.
They also have spring rolls, egg rolls and rangoons but they are extra and don’t come with the meal.
It’s fast and you get a descent amount of food. When I’m feeling the need for Chinese food this is usually my first pick second would be Hy-​Vee Chinese express.
The place itself is nicely decorated And clean. The staff is friendly and the restrooms clean. They also have outside seating but I’ve never sat at it since it faces west and in the summer it gets really hot facing west in the evening. Tip: in the winter sit in the corner closest to the restrooms. The drafts from the door make dinning very chilling.
