“Went through drive thru, they were super nice and informed us of a possible wait time. We pulled up to the window quickly and were immediately handed our food, which was hot and great! They seemed busier than usual when I go, but actually the service was better than the last time I was there. Overall though I'm always happy with this location.“

“Literally my favorite take out in Antioch/Nashville. Have been eating from China Spring for many years. I normally get the Family Special B - it comes with 3 generous portioned plates and 3 egg roles! The taste of their food is delicious, in my opinion. Any time we’re craving Asian food, China Spring is our go-to!“

“I have been looking for a good Chinese place for more than 6 years (I had moved from the next town over). THIS IS THE SPOT! It's a 45 min drive for me but I will make it EVERYTIME. Beef and broccoli, egg drop soup, egg roll and crab rangoon 100%“

“We were pleasantly surprised. For Chinese food from a gas station restaurant late on a Tuesday night, our expectations were not high. But, wow! My son (who thinks he’s Gordon Ramsey) said the fried rice was excellent. The crab Rangoon’s were fresh and perfectly cooked. The orange chicken was fantastic with fresh peppers and squash. Service was great. He even mentioned, as it was near closing, they were out of fried rice and made a fresh batch for us. Great food, great service, convenient and quick. We were very happy and grateful! If their Mexican is half as good as the Chinese, I’m sure it’s great!“

“So good. Absolutely love this place! Always accurate and owner remembers me even when I havent been in personally and have others pick up for me while Im at work. Always clean. Always great customer service. So glad I've finally found a good restaurant I've been missing from home!“

“This is my favorite place to get Chinese takeout. The restaurant is family owned and operated, the prices are fair and the food is incredible. I highly recommend their combination fried rice, their chicken on a stick and their Singapore rice noodles.“

“This is a great local spot . Their food is always delicious. Great portion sizes I usually find myself having leftovers. Lots of variety on the menu. Take out or sit down table service available. Staff is always friendly. It's a great local spot to checkout.“

“As a truck driver I eat a lot of different food across the country, especially Chinese.

Out of at least twenty different chinese food restaurants (probably much more), this is by far the best General Tso's chicken i've ever had!! Thank you!

The lobby is slightly cramped which is why I didn't get five stars there, but food is amazing!“

“Whoever was working Panda Express on 9/2/25 around 10PM deserves a their props

I first swung by the Panda on Memorial. Straight garbage. 💀 Three of the things I wanted? Gone. Unable to create. Keep in mind—they close at 11:30, and I was there at 9:45. When I asked if they could at least sub something in, I was told it’d be a 15-minute wait. Nah.

So I said forget it, hopped in my car, and headed to the Panda on North Thompson. Game changer. Absolute culinary redemption arc. They had everything. The guy behind the counter even hit me with life-changing knowledge: “You know you can do half noodles, half rice, right?” Sir, you just unlocked a cheat code to my stomach.

Service? Fast. Vibe? Friendly. The one item they didn’t have? Ready in two minutes flat. Efficient, respectful, and inspiring.

So here’s my official decree: The Panda Express on North Thompson Lane is the superior Panda. Shout out to the crew—y’all are carrying the whole Panda franchise on your backs. 🐼🔥“

“Great food.. Other local Chinese restaurants should take a lesson from their teriyaki beef on a stick. ( I'm looking at you king cheff and Smyrna) Mai Fun was delicious. The prices are good and the food is great... Service was on time.“

“Im just a die hard fan of Panda Express. The staff is always smiling and happy to serve you. The whole menu is good.
My favorite tho... the fried rice with veggies and Sesame chicken on top.
Its always loaded.
And a root beer.
For 11.00 $!
Im full for most the day“

“The welcoming atmosphere is so warm that the wait, despite the restaurant's popularity, is barely noticeable. Tables are promptly cleaned as soon as guests depart, ensuring a consistently pristine dining environment. Drink orders are taken and delivered with impressive speed. I began with the sushi, which was prepared fresh before my eyes by the chef, providing reassurance of the seafood's quality and freshness.

It was truly a perfect experience.

I did not have the opportunity to visit the restrooms, but I hope they maintain the same high standard of cleanliness.“
