Panda Express

I love Panda Express but I’ve heard so many negative things about it. I’ve done research about it and found a few article. Don’t know if it’s true but haven’t had any since! :/​it used to be my favorite place :/​I’ve heard and read they they don’t use actual beef, or chicken.

The only place opened here at 10:00 AM?
So I rolled up here, looking for some food. The only joint that was open was Panda Express. I wasn’t thrilled about eating fake Chinese food for breakfast, but this place hit the spot. I didn’t have much selection to work with at 10:00 AM, but I still went with 3 entrees and some chow mein. If only this place served coffee and bagels too.
A little about my credentials:
I first got into cooking & food when I was in college. After being rejected by numerous girls and getting zero action, I decided it was time for a change. I needed a new makeover to boost my geeky image. I applied for a cooking position at a Mediterranean-​Italian Restaurant near my home and learned to cook all sorts of dishes. I never became a professional chef, but I continue to enjoy & love food. 9 years later and 55 lbs heavier, I have a new passion for traveling and trying different foods around the world.

If there was a zero start for this place I would do it. Now with chains their food is supposed to be streamlined where for the most part its the same. You may get a spicier batch here and there or something odd, but for the most part it’s the same.
The good:
+ My food tasted like I expected it to from Panda Express
The bad:
— Let’s explain the situation… I was on lunch and I placed my order. The lady asked me to repeat myself several times which I am ok with. It’s obvious English is not her first or possibly primary language. They were out of fried rice and stated it would be a few minutes. I said ok in a very polite way and waited right near where everyone gets their food.
I waited for 5 other couples and parties ahead of me to get their food. I was the only Caucasian around. Finally a couple that was 5^th after me had orders of fried rice I had to interrupt and ask where my food was. She didn’t know
I wasn’t sure if she was confused by my question, my language, or my sudden intrusion. But I simply did not feel I should wait when there were several other parties that received their food without waiting as I had.
It was extremely shotty service. To boot I dont generally eat in malls. My co workers encouraged me to and I was not in a mood to put up too much resistance. I will wait to eat later next time

Love this place!!! Way better than the panda express in serranonte. I’ve never tried anything I didn’t love, plenty of things my waistline didn’t care for, but best $ 8 Chinese food you can get. Only problem is you’ll wait 20 mins in line to get it. Upside to that is that you know it’s fresh since they’re constantly selling out of certain items and replacing them with freshly cook plates. (yum). I recommend the kobari beef and must-​have orange chicken (getting hungry just thinking about it)

Great grub on a friday night
especially after the movies

Haha!!! If you want shady skimpy servings and a 1 hour wait on food alone and another hour waiting in line to get helped then this is your place!!! You would think with the super high volume of people who frequent this place they would have more food prepared. Do yourself a favor and find a different location. This place gets 5 stars for the food. So I would say, meh, I’ve experienced a better location.
