Food is 3 stars - not bad, nothing to write home about. This review is going to center on the consistently bad service I've gotten here and in particular, the bad service I got here tonight. When I went in to order my food, I noticed there were two guys waiting to be served. Twice, employees told them "we'll be right with you". The second time, I had already been waiting for 2 minutes behind them. They had still not ordered, because the employees didn't prioritize them. I guess if you come in to eat, you aren't worth as much as a person who comes through the drive through. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Another minute goes by, a manager then informs the two guys ahead of me that again, "we'll be right with you". At that point, I added that we've been here for a while now. This manager, Amanda, then looked at me and stated "you're not the only one here you know". Incredible. This was a direct insult and has come to be emblematic of my experience with this location. Not that the rest are better, but managers of the other locations have never been rude or insulting to their customers, or argue with them.
It is my hope that corporate sees this, and works with their store level management to turn things around, because as things are going right now, it won't be long before Panda is wondering 'why are we going bankrupt?'. That last part may be conjecture, because there are lots of people in the area and then there are those like me who walk in expecting a better experience than last time, only to see our already low expectations for service have been defeated yet again.
People like Amanda should not be working in customer service / hospitality positions if they are going to be rude to people.

Why open at 9 am and then start prepping the food?

I had a fun night at this location tonight. I ordered through the app at 5:40. Told me my food would be ready at 5:55. I got a text at 5:58 that my food was ready. I got there at 6:10. Asked for my food. They asked for my confirmation code. I showed it to them. They then went to look for the order. And started making it. At that point I knew they gave my food away. Jennifer tells me she is making the food right now. And they need shrimp. Give me 4 minutes. Then disappears. I talk to Chris and another lady and ask for a manager once it gets to 6:25. They go walk away and ignore me. Then they start talking to each other. Chris comes over and finally says someone picked up your order. I said thanks for the confirmation. He said they showed us the confirmation code. Which isn’t possible because I have the confirmation code. And then he said yeah we gave it away without checking. I asked Chris and Jennifer for a manager. Twice at this point. And they kept looking around and going uhhhh. Finally I asked for their name. And was told it was Edwin. Edwin would not come talk to me. Jennifer ignored me multiple times. The other lady ignored me multiple times. Awful experience. I got my food at 6:35.

Not the most attentive staff with the drive through. Ordered a plate of orange chicken and sesame chicken with a side entree of Beijing beef. Instead got a plate of orange chicken and Beijing beef with a side enteee of walnut shrimp. Be sure to check your order before you leave

Drive through is a joke. Employees are often rude and excessively long wait times at drive thru, no communication whatsoever!!! You can tell sometimes the employees just dgaf!!! And it’s probably managements fault because they aren’t paid nearly enough to care especially for how hard they’re overworked!!! Do better!

The food looked old and mushy. I asked for the fresh side of the bowl but they said no. They want to sell you the old food instead of switching it out.

Never have things ready. Always missing most items. I asked when it would be ready they said actually 2 minutes 30 minutes later I just left. Must be poor management
