Panda Express

The line was long, the place was very clean and there was a wait for Orange Chicken. The young man David, behind the counter, wrote our order down and said when the chicken was ready he’d bring both orders to our table. By the time we checked out, got our drinks, sat down to the table, David was there with our orders! He was so friendly and pleasant, nice to see. Food was great as always!

As I sit here eating my Orange Chicken and fried rice there is a man driving me crazy and I don’t even work here. Do you really expect your food not to touch in a to go container? I am very impressed with how well this staff handled themselves. Great Job!

Worst Chinese food ever, I order to go for lunch. Once I got back to the office and started to eat, the food was just taste less, just awful ! Ended in the garbage couldn’t eat it, never ever again! Be aware food is really bad!!!

Food is usually fresh but that’s because I always have to wait for something to be cooked. The last trip the bowl I got wasn’t very full. Usually it is really packed but maybe because it was busy and they were trying to get all the orders out that were waiting for orange chicken, they didn’t really give as much as they usually do in my same order. Hopefully they were just having an off day in terms of getting the orders ready. The staff was nice as usual and the food was good since it was cooked while I waited. I had to ding them a start because I usually don’t have much time to pick up my food and get back to work and the last few times I always have had to wait on something or get something I didn’t really want to save time.

While the food is ok, and the restaraunt is clean, this Panda Express has the bad habit of leaving half the front exit locked. When a door is marked «push», you expect it to move when pushed. When it’s locked, you get an unpleasant surprise.
Other than this, it’s ok: cheap Chinese-​like food.

Ever since the other manager left and a different guy took over it hasn’t been the same. The food was dry. The service slow. As the girls struggle to fill the plates I see the guy in the blue on the computer. When the girls call for him to come help he looked angry for being asked to serve the customers. The workers don’t look happy.

I picked up some food to go tonight that I was going to save and eat Friday for lunch because I had already had a late VEGAN lunch from Qdoba, I wound up being hungry tonight and ate my food after I nuked it in my microwave. Not sure if the reheating changed the taste or texture all that much? I did have a coupon so it was not as pricey as it would have been otherwise. I think the quality has really gone down since I started eating Panda Express in Downtown Chicago in 1995.

It’s Chinese fast food– obviously not going to be anything to write home about here. I used to like PE every once in a while, but now that I stick to a pescatarian diet, there’s almost nothing here for me to eat. Even if there was, the quality doesn’t justify the calorie count.
I went here today to pu food for my bf, got him a 3 entrée plate with fried rice and a drink. I also got myself an order of crab rangoon (3) and a side of chow mein. It was aiight.
The store itself was clean, ample parking (since everything else in the complex is either abandoned or closed on Sundays) and the staff was attentive. No drive thru at this location.
I do think it’s a little expensive for what it is. If I’m going to spend $ 17 on a fast casual lunch, I’d rather go to another nearby option like Panera or Chipotle.
I’ll be back, I’m sure– but no time soon.

I don’t like this location ever since they change the store manager again inthis year. I used to stopped by for lunch when the old manager was there. Their service was fast and nice with the old manager. However, everything changed since the new manager came this year. This young lady has no control over the food quality. Even though panda express sell the same type of food in most of their store, I would say this location does not offer the same good food as the one in Batavia. If I wan to have panda express now, I would rather drive 15 mins more to get my Chinese fast food from Batavia panda express Rather than this one!

I was actually surprised at how many people stopped in to get big containers of to go food. I hope this is not the most authentic place in St.Charles.
Oh well to each their own…
We were there too for some quick on the go dinner. Typical fast food Chinese. I did actually enjoy the chicken, mushroom and zucchini dish and liked the sauce it was in.
Their fried rice was ok.
Place was clean and the service was pretty good. I just don’t know if I would go rushing back to Panda Express unless I was in an airport.

It is quick, fast Chinese food. The quality is okay and depending on timing, luck, or fate. .. your food can be very fresh or your food can seem like it has been sitting a while waiting to be eaten. If you get a fresh batch, the orange chicken with white rice is my favorite. My 13 year old absolutely loves the orange chicken and considers this a staple of life. My oldest son loves the shrimp and walnut with chow mein. Actually, he loves the shrimp and picks out the walnuts. You can get better Chinese food elsewhere but this is a good place for a quick meal that satisfies your hunger especially if you are lucky enough to get a fresh batch of food! Also, it is a good place if your little «pandas» love the place. At least it is a better choice of food for the kids than a greasy, fast food burger joint. The key word is for the kids. .. a nice greasy burger does sound good to me! ;)

Yum. Panda Express is always good and this location is no different.

I used to like this place for lunch when it first opened but it has gotten lazy lately. You’d go in there at common lunch time (12:00−1:00) and things looked as if they had been sitting there for awhile. If your looking for a quick Chinese lunch, go to Silver Lake. You get more for a better price and a lot better quality food and better service.

I’ve been coming here since they opened and ate here at least twice a month during my junior and senior years of high school. I missed it so much when I went away to college, so I always had it when I came back. I loved everything (especially the orange chicken) up until the night before I was supposed to leave to go back to school after spring break when it all tasted a bit off and I got the worst case of food poisoning I’d ever had… I was sick for 3 days and it took me 2 weeks before I could eat normally again. That was almost a year ago and I cannot bring myself to come back here.
In their defense though, that was one time out of the probably 75 times I’ve gone there, so it’s not a bad record, but still… I don’t trust it again yet.
