Panda Express

The experience is subpar. I always get greeted at the door and I always have this immediate sense of welcoming in which no other Panda Express provides.

My most recent visit was this evening. I wanted Chinese food and quick and decided to go to Panda. I went through the drive thru window and ordered the two entrée plate. It came with white rice, orange chicken, and beef and broccoli. When I came home food was still hot and fresh. The only thing that bums me out is when you order beef and broccoli you get more broccoli than beef and if your a fan of this and a meat eater, don’t be surprised. Drive through didn’t have a line at all and cashier was pretty quick taking money and handing out food. That is the definition of what a fast food drive through should be. Take notes other fast food restaurants! This is by far the best Panda Express restaurant to go through.

Dinner time. I crave rice. I love shrimp. They welcome me when I approach the counter. I talk to them, ask how their shift is going because they can see that I am in my work uniform every time I go there. Suddenly, my interest in them causes a pleasant reaction, now they care about the customer, me, because I expressed sincere care about them and their experience at work. It’s fast food, it’s a restaurant, it’s all labor, it’s often a thankless job, and it’s certainly average pay. So you communicate on a universal level, a smile, a show of concern for their hard work day after day. It won’t change the flavor of your food, but it will, for a moment, feed joy to one another. I eat happy, I leave happy, I live happy. Pursue happiness and you’ll never need to read it from a stranger’s «cookie.»

This location used to be pretty good in terms of food quality but recently, everything had been tasting just terrible, which is unfortunate because Panda Express has the capability of delivering quality, hot food to customers. I saw another review of someone saying they forgot about their entrée order, well that’s happened to my friends and I on at least 3 separate occasions. Only once did they seem to care about the mistake and offer a free drink. I’m definitely not coming back to this location for a while. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice (or three or four times) shame on me!

I’ve gone to this location several times, since it’s by my job. All my visits have been during my weekday lunch break and I’ve never had an issue, other than table being a tiny bit dirty when they’re busy. The floors aren’t sticky and the food is fresh and ready. The staff has never been rude to me and always answers whatever questions I might have. I’ve never gone through the drive-​thru, so I can’t comment on that.

They are constantly out of things! I have left their drive thru empty handed more times than I have with food!

Well, I come here several times a month, usually about 11:00am and always seem to get good service and food. Today… I come in and order, all is good till I get to the drink dispenser for sweet tea… empty!!! It’s not that they ran out it just hadn’t been made today. So I go up and mention the fact that my desired beverage dispenser is empty and the response, «Well, it’s cause we haven’t made any today.» Yup, that’s all I got. Silly me thought I should have gotten something a little more than that… maybe with some feeling?

Panda bowl with fried rice and orange chicken = yummy. The gal behind the counter was super nice! She gave me the two last wontons, and since she gave me two, gave my friend 10% off her order to make it up. Totally went out of her way and didn’t even have to do that! Only reason I’m not giving more stars is because my tummy feels a little upset today and I suspect it might have been this place. Can’t say for sure, but no place is worth having intestinal problems the next day. Since I’m not totally sure this place is the culprit, I might give it one more chance in the future just to be sure.

Every Tuesday my office orders lunch and this time we wanted Chinese. Panda Express was the closes to our office. Everyone gave me their order, (3 total) and left. To make it easier we always just pay as one ticket and divide the prices later. I didn’t know they had a drive threw and decided to try it so it be easier for me. The attendent was very considerate and made sure I understood that certian things with certain things cost a $ 1 more. When I picked my order at the window I didn’t even think of getting sauce and she asked if I wanted any. I was unsure what my coworkers wanted and she volunteer to put a small bag together with a bit of everything. It has been a long time since I had such a pleasent drive threw experance.

Very rude, manager accused me of stealing more food. Like me and the drive thur guy were in it together! What a croc of sh**
