Panda Express in St. Louis

“First visit here in quite some time. It’s 8:00 Friday night. I had a dine in experience. Many of the food items looked tired and not abundant. Same story as most places. Not enough staff. Only me counter person. Two people preparing food. One person cleaning.If you have a pickup order you are low priority. They stand and wait while walk ins are handled first.My food was below average. I only came here as my first choice restaurant’s dining room is closed.“

“This place is normally good for lunch. Dinner is a little less fresh but still good enough. I have seen them do "cash only" twice so far and the 2nd time they needed exact cash or they couldnt sell me food. Other than that, its a decent panda express.“

“This is the best Panda Express in the city in that it is the Panda Express that is closest to me. Which means I have orange chicken relatively available to me at any time that I want which is all that I really want from a Panda Express. That being said, when they are on it they are very on it but when they are off their game they are not the greatest Panda Express in the world. I would say like you know 90% of the time. They're fantastic that other 10% a mother f***** though.

I am overall happy with this Panda Express and the service that they offer. If not for them, I wouldn't have orange chicken 10 minutes from my domicile. Orange chicken being a perennial depression meal.

And sometimes the only thing that can soothe the absolute horrors of human existence is orange chicken. Otherwise you might fall headlong into the void and never be heard from again.“

“Biggest issue with this location is keeping enough staff on site to keep the line moving quickly. It may just be my opinion but they seem to have a really high turnover rate. Just as soon as their staff get it down and are able to I mean really make the line move that's when they're gone. I have seen some incredible young people working there that knew their job inside and out and it didn't matter what we threw at them they were able to handle it but then I think they got burned out and they left. The only other thing is the wildest Place generally I don't have any trouble with the employees having their masks and every once in a while they start to let it slip and their masks are down past their nose meaning they're not really doing anything there's really no point of having a mask if it's not actually being used“
