Panda Express in Honolulu

“I don't often review fast food, but this experience makes the exception. I got my food quickly and with no issues. Excellent prep of the dishes across the board, not fine dining, obviously, but you can tell the quality was more than up to standards.
However, what stood out to me was the whole crew and the manager's kindness, a large group of elderly women we're approaching from the parking lot and he (the only employee in a blue polo) immediately jumped out for behind the counter to get the door for them and greeted them all with a smile. Honestly, it made my day!“

“I really like the Chow fun they make, but sometimes I get the noodles instead. I come for the Kung Pao Chicken because it's honestly the best one I've tasted.

Vegetarian options: Mixed Stir Fried Greens, Eggplant Tofu, Fried Rice“

“One of my favorite places to go for takeout orders. Only because they have little room for dine in. My main order is the Extra large plate. So I usually always order the Extra fried rice, Honey walnut shrimp and the new Spicy honey chicken which isn't spicy at all but it beats out the orange chicken any day if you try it. And my side on the Extra large plate is an extra order of the Honey chicken in a box instead of it being put on my plate because I like to eat it later I mix it in with at home. My secret mix??I've pretty much tried most that you can choose from and this is what I buy 99 percent of the time I go there for a take out for dinner. It's Soo Onolisish!!!I never buy a drink from them because it's more expensive than other places and I usually don't drink soda anymore so I buy my drink from somewhere else. I only have eaten inside once and it was because me and my bff were running around shopping in that area that day. I would love to order the family meal or a bunch or large takeout boxes but find that it is very expensive buying that way and the extra large plate is very reasonable to me. I can usually eat the large plate myself but my service dog loves the chicken also. Mahalo and Aloha“

“To be honest, I can say that the Panda Express here is the best in Hawaii.

I even directly thanked the Asian male chef for the taste.
Even though it's Panda Express, it tastes like you're in a Chinese restaurant.
(Panda Express is also a Chinese dish...)
The Asian male chef seemed to be confident in his own skills, which was just right.
There were days when he wasn't around, and the taste was a little disappointing.
I will definitely try to eat there any day this chef is there. I'm definitely a fan lol.

Also, the other staff members are very nice and I am very grateful. The young staff members seem to have not yet experienced the turbulence of life. lol.
Even the middle-aged and older staff members are not dissatisfied.
I feel really good as a customer.

Yeah, I've never met a mean clerk here. I'm not dissatisfied either. It's not even a friendly smile. Definitely not arrogant. It's customer service that doesn't make you feel uncomfortable.
good! That's good!
I think the hospitality industry in Hawaii is of a low standard, but it's different here.
The tourist didn't ask me to wipe the table, nor did he make a disgusted face. (It's scary because most of the employees at restaurants in Hawaii have blank eyes and are in a bad mood.)
I think this is a very comfortable store.

What's even better is that
It's not that crowded here.
Was it a coincidence that the timing was right?
The inside of the shop is large and there are many tables.

It's cheap and delicious!
Speaking of pandas, this is definitely the place! That's what I say.

Panda whose taste changes depending on the chef.
I think this is a higher-class Panda Express that doesn't make you think it's a Panda Express.

Did I say too much?
No, no.
But it's Panda Express.

“I have come to enjoy Panda Express during my trip. I found this one to be comparable to the others in HNL. The service was good and the portions were large. I enjoy the mixed vegetables and firecracker shrimp. The broccoli with beef is aptly named as way more broccoli than beef.“

“This is the restaurant I go to every time for the orange chicken and honey shrimp.
The store is near Safeway, so there are a lot of people coming home from shopping at the supermarket.
The prices are a little cheaper than the Waikiki store.“

“The BEST Panda Express I've ever tasted! The food was was very fresh. The teriyaki chicken thighs and walnut shrimp ..were to Die for! Fast service and a great environment while visiting Honolulu I had my best food experience there! THANKS!“

“Really awesome for a fast food place, that's the only reason I didn't break everything at the top because fast food is not supposed to be spectacularly amazing. It's supposed to be good and solid and somewhat relaxing. This place is really great for that.“
