The most recent time the ladies in the shop helped me find ingredients for a cake and were so kind (I used the chai, ground cardamom, ground ginger, and star anise to make the cake today, and it was a big hit). I’d definitely recommend this business.”

Not only was the establishment open, but even while slammed with customers and calls the staff was pleasant while taking our order. We were quoted 1hr to 1hr 45 mins due to the volume. Being that it's Christmas I completely understood and didn't mind the wait. Our food arrived Hot and Fresh in less than that hour. The delivery person heard my dog at the door while giving my husband our order and even was sweet enough to give our dog a treat. I have always had a great experience with the staff, but this was above and beyond on a day like today. Thank you for one being open on Christmas day and two for taking care of our family.”

I wanted to make sure that this team is recognized for offering and giving such outstanding customer service.”

“We ate here and the food was so good!! The music wasn't too loud, the tabel was clean and the wait staff super kind. Although i do not speak much spanish, Victoria made sure I had everything I needed and was very attentive to our table. It was not very busy during this time, around noon. The guacamole was very good and I ordered ribs and shrimp. The shrimp was very well seasoned and the ribs very tender. The beans were probably my favorite!! They were so good! The only complaint I have is that the bathrooms needed some TLC. One stall door was missing a latch to close, and another had a missing toilet seat.”

“Can’t say enough good about Panda Express. Good prices, great food. Pretty spicy if you want. It’s always fresh. Clean atmosphere as well. It’s basically an Asian Chipotle for those who haven’t been. I always enjoy visiting.”
