This has nothing to do with the food. Obviously we all know what panda tastes like. This has to do with the service. For the most part the cashiers are okay as well as the ppl serving the entree, however, there is a manager or supervisor there names Anna that was serving the rice and chow mein. No customer service whatsoever. I also witnessed her yelling her lungs out at the staff there. It honestly looked like a circus. She was rushing customers through the line not even bothering to ask if they would like something else. My experience there was bad there because of her. Like dude, we are the customers. Without us you would have no job!!!! Overall guys, love panda. Just watch it with this lady. And she still has the nerve to speak Japanese to other coworkers when she doesn’t want you to know what she is saying.

I thought I ordered noodles not a box of lettuce

I recently tried Panda Express for the first time and was curious about the hype surrounding this franchise.

While it offers a familiar and comforting taste of Asian-inspired food, it falls short of authentic Chinese cuisine.

I opted for the plate option with honey sesame chicken and chow mein. The honey sesame chicken was overly sweet and drowned out the individual ingredients.

The chow mein, while generous in portion, lacked the depth and complexity of traditional Chinese noodles. The noodles were thick and had a gummy texture, similar to ramen, but were bland and lacked the wok-charred flavour (wok hei) that characterizes authentic Chinese cooking.

The rangoons were a pleasant surprise, with a unique shape and a creamy cream cheese filling. The fortune cookies were a fun touch.

Additionally, I requested a side of stir-fried vegetables, which were flavorful and had a strong garlic taste.

While Panda Express offers a satisfying and convenient option for those seeking a taste of Asian cuisine, it's important to note that it's a Westernized interpretation.

I loved the food. The portions are generous. The prawns with sweet almond sauce were delicious. The waitress who served us, despite not speaking Spanish, was very patient with us and in the end we clarified. We ate on a terrace very well

I got a hair in my food. As well, the soda machine had flat/watered out soda. I tried cherry coke, Dr Pepper, and coke. They all were flat or watered down. I’m not sure who served my food because I ordered through the app, but this is my least favorite experience at a Panda Express. I order Panda Express once a week or at least every two weeks so I eat it frequently. I’m sad to say that I was let down by Panda Express. It’s my go to food when I don’t know what else to eat and this time I couldn’t even finish my food.

I mean Panda is Panda, I still enjoy the food, but the dining area cleanliness was terrible. There may have been one clean table. It's too bad because the staff was very kind.
