Solid Family Feast – Great Value, Classic Flavors

We ordered the Family Feast from Panda Express recently, and overall, it was a satisfying experience that delivered great value for the price.

The fried rice and chow mein made for a solid base—classic comfort food. The fried rice had a nice balance of soy flavor and egg bits, though I wish it had a little more veggie variety mixed in. The chow mein was saucy and well-cooked, with cabbage and onions adding some texture and sweetness. Both were crowd-pleasers and good portions.

As for the entrees:
• The Angus steak was definitely the standout—tender, juicy pieces of beef with a rich savory glaze and perfectly cooked veggies like broccoli and mushrooms. It felt a bit more “premium” compared to the rest and brought a nice upscale balance to the meal.
• The orange chicken was exactly what you’d expect—crispy on the outside, sticky-sweet with that tangy citrus flavor that Panda is known for. It’s not exactly light fare, but it hits the spot when you’re craving that guilty pleasure dish.
• The string bean chicken added a refreshing, lighter option. The chicken was tender and the green beans were crisp and vibrant. It wasn’t overly saucy, which I appreciated, and gave the meal a more balanced feel.

Service was quick and efficient, even during a busy evening. Our order was ready on time and packaged well. The only reason I’m not giving five stars is that while everything was good, it wasn’t mind-blowing. A little more seasoning or freshness in the sides could’ve elevated it further. That said, for a fast-casual family meal, it definitely delivered.

Would recommend for a quick, tasty dinner that gives everyone something to enjoy. Panda Express continues to be a reliable go-to when you want a no-fuss meal with bold flavors.

I ordered chicken fried rice and they sent me what they wanted without warning! They don't give solutions, I'm left without my money and without lunch because I can't eat chow mein! a total lack of respect.

Pretty tight with the "Premium entrées"
Out of multiple other entrees I ordered. Food was Fresh and Delicious otherwise. Service wasn't great but wasn't bad overall. Atmosphere was lacking, seating was minimal in more ways than one. More of a takeout location.

I specifically mentioned in the Uber Eats special instructions to provide utensils and napkins and they didn't do it. They completely ignored the order notes.

First time eating at a Chinese restaurant in the United States~
There are fried rice and fried noodles~you can order half and half!
(Fried rice and fried noodles are pretty common, you can try it or order white rice)
If you are here for the first time, you can choose "Plate" and choose two dishes with the same staple!
The food here tastes a bit sweet~
Therefore, it is recommended to choose one of the vegetables. For example: cauliflower does not look like there is too much sauce ~ it tastes less greasy.
In addition, some dishes have additional prices!

But the specialty here is that it’s cheap, no tipping required, and you can eat Chinese food in generous portions!
(If you are tired of eating American restaurants, you can try it out!)

You will also be given a fortune cookie at the end! !

PS: If you like my comments, you can follow them~
I will take photos of the appearance and color of the food I saw on site and present it to everyone. I will go to various places to discover delicious food and unique places! !
I wish everyone’s wishes come true!

I arrived ~10 mins before they closed. I wanted Honey Sesame Chicken, which they were out of. I asked to have it cooked fresh. The server, Leo, argued with me that they do not cook anything fresh and my options were the items already cooked. I asked him to talk to the mgr, Thuy. He skulked away, not happy. Sure enough, he comes back and tells the Laura, the cook to make me fresh Honey Sesame Chicken. She said the stove/grill was already turned off.I don't slight Laura for the stove being off, especially now minimum wage is $20 per hour. I am sure they don't want any one staying longer than necessary.Leo is the problem. His not knowing the store policy, giving push back and overall general attitude. It would have been no big deal his he was polite and let me know the stove was off, which he didn't even know about.I went to Mod Pizza, across the street and they had no problem filling my order so close to closing time.

I got the Firey shrimp and everything is uncooked. It is horrible.For $14, this is garbage.I got the food to go or I would have returned it ASAP after first bite.Their Chow main is just onion these days not enough noodles.They rush you to order as soon as you are there. They don't let you even decide and it is not like they were too bz today.
