Panda Express offers a variety of Chinese-inspired dishes, with the walnut shrimp being a standout. The service is generally quick, and the staff are described as nice and attentive. The restaurant is kept clean, even during busy periods. However, there have been some issues with order communication and customization. The chow mein has been mentioned as different from traditional Chinese places and can come with an excessive amount of vegetables. Parking may require a short walk. The food quality is good, but there is room for improvement in the ordering process.
Customers have mixed opinions about the food. Some find it passable for an inexpensive, quick, and easy meal, while others feel the food is not very good. The noodles are described as very dry, and some of the vegetables, particularly the broccoli, are often undercooked. The meat is also said to taste a bit stale. Delivery is not considered worth it, with the cheapest option being $17+ for a cardboard-esque meal. The restaurant is small and often crowded, and the staff looks exhausted and overworked. However, the staff is friendly, and there have been no bad experiences with delivery. The Merced Panda Express is praised for always providing plenty of delicious food and offering a senior discount. On the other hand, a customer found a metal bit in their rice, which could have caused harm.
