Panda Express in Orange Park

“Food servings are not as much like before, I giess it depends who is serving. The staff looks stressed, No more smiles, they only have a few people in the store but they look unhappy which affects us customers. Food is the same Chinese cooked food. Place is fairly clean and spacious. The cashier is an exception. She’s the redeemer of the bad vibe. Overall she just added one star to the service.“

“TL;DR: they’ve hired a lot of new friendly folks and the food is fresh, hot and yummy!

All the deets: I haven’t visited Panda in a while and I’m really glad I stopped in tonight. Julian was new and quite happy to serve. He offered a few suggestions (honey sesame chicken) and it was really good! The portions were hearty as always.

I’m not sure why some people complained about staff standing around doing nothing. I arrived in the middle of a lull between customer waves, but the staff were far from standing around. They were cooking, cleaning up, communicating who was responsible for what during their shift and just overall staying busy. They were quick to greet people that came in and were all smiles and friendly the whole time.

If you haven’t tried this Panda in a while, it’s worth a visit. And try the sesame chicken - it’s really good!“
