Nice change of pace from typical fast food. Limited menu but I actually like that there isn’t too much to choose from as it can be overwhelming. Food is tasty and decent amount for what you pay. They gave me veggies instead of my rice but there was no attitude when we brought it to their attention.

Brown rice was very good and tasted fresh. Chow mein was tasty as well and great portion size.

I liked the food, and very clean place. Very quiet place for lunch with Family. It is my favorite food.

I just can’t even. Sorry. I’m not impressed by the quality of the food or the prices. I think they are a lot of other better choices for Asian food in the area.

As far as Chinese-ish/esque fast-food goes, I AM a fan of Panda, Yay! I suppose I’m a fan because when I eat at a Panda, it is almost always exactly the same as any other Panda that I have been to whether in San Jose, CA or in Apex, NC, I know what I’m about to be served which is usually: A two(2) item plate — half fried rice, half noodles, teriyaki chicken & either broccoli beef or orange chicken. Occasionally I will try a different dish. At this particular Panda in Apex the other day, I was surprised to see«bacon-covered orange chicken». Is this a local NC thing or did they go global with this new dish I wonder? Either way, meee thinks not! Oh, I forgot to mention the best part about Panda, …their Chili Sauce! Ask for several packs, tear on the dotted line in the corner and squeeze them all out onto your fried rice if you dare! Finally, before departing, crack your fortune cookie and read what will certainly be coming to you. Tip: Add the words, «…in bed.» to the end of your fortune for a fun twist on an authentic Chinese tradition, that is the fortune cookie!

When it comes to fast food Chinese, I have ALWAYS been a huge fan of Panda. This is the only location in the Raleigh area, which sucks because i live in Garner. If you come here and don’t get ATLEAST one helping of orange chicken, you should leave and come back in and try again. Orange chicken put this place on the map, and it’s by far still the best thing they offer. I would suggest a two entry meal, BOTHORANGECHICKEN, and white rice… Throw in so Mt. Dew, and you got the best meal around! Tip: Keep your receipt because they usually offer free food if you fill out a survey, and God know’s you will be back, so it’s worth the 3 minutes it takes to save a few bucks.

Another great lunch at Panda Express!!! Food was fresh and tasty! This place is a great value for the price and always love my stops at Panda Express when I visit NC!

Currently the 2.5 star-rating this place has is pretty much aligned with my assessment. I love the fresh vegetable containers they have displayed inside the shop and all, and the service inside and to-go is pretty good. But I just don’t feel like I am getting quality food when the product is delivered to me, especially for what I am paying. Simple as that. I expect a little more quality than what the local Chinese place is offering for 75% of the prive; but I am not seeing it.

The new Sweet Peppercorn Chicken is delicious! I hope it gets added to the menu permanently.

Good service, good value. It’s fast-food chinese. I actually like thier Kung Pao chicken more than any of the chinese places nearby. I highly recommend this as an alternative to burger or sandwhich combo’s and I am a regular here. The staff has been really friendly and helpful and the food is delicious.

Its not that bad as far as fast food is concerned. I would rather have this than a burger and fries. Price is very reasonable.

I’ve never visited any other Panda Express location but like the 2 star review implies, this location is «meh», as far as area Chinese food goes. In the 2 years that I’ve lived near this Panda Express, I’ve been at least 10 times, and everytime I go, I tell myself that I’m never going again. But for some reason, I always do–(it’s gotta be the convenience factor(in Beaver Creek, near Target and my bank) but it’s location is actually difficult to get in and out of. There’s no left turn out of the parking lot so getting back on Hwy 55 once you pull out of parking lot isn’t going to happen unless you make a couple of U-turns in the ridiculously busy Beaver Creek shopping center. Their food is pretty bland, too. And I’ve tried pretty much everything. The prices are good and the staff is friendly enough, but it’s just not very good and the location on a busy corner in Beaver Creek makes it even worse.

Decent fast food Chinese that is comparable to something you might get in a mall food court. I have had their beef and broccoli, orange chicken, golden shrimp, and egg roll. I didn’t care for their egg rolls, but everything else is ok. They give you a ton of rice to go along with your meal. You can get 2 entrees, rice, egg roll and a drink for around $ 10, so a pretty good deal. Very fast service and they even have a drive through. This is definitely America meets China, and since we are in America, probably 2⁄3 American and 1 quarter Chinese.

Horrible. You have #1 China right down the road in Harris Teeter shopping mart that has AWESOME Chinese food that I haven’t had since I lived in NJ. Panda Express in North East is actually pretty good. This was horrible.
