It’s Panda Express– the food is about the same as all the other locations. My problem with this location is that they are often out of many of the dishes. When they seem to be running low they compensate by giving you almost half of what you would normally get in what seems to be an attempt to avoid making more. During lunch. Wayyyy before they close. The temperature of the food is also a problem here. I’ve had entrees that were just plain cold. The staff can be either dismissive and inattentive or friendly and helpful, depending on the day. Which is basically all you can expect in a mall food court. I like that they allow vegetables as a side instead of fried rice or lo mein, and that they have several lower-cal(and actually very good!) entrees. Certainly helps one eat healthier at the mall!

Speedy and friendly service. Great food typically the mall is full of restaurant. Panda is really competitive and leading … I think

Let me begin by saying, I am Chinese and I typically HATE Americanized Chinese food, but I LOVE me some Panda Express Orange Chicken! It’s the only item I order on their menu along with steamed white rice. The staff here is friendly, food is cheap, and convenient.

It’s a Chinese food from shopping mall’s food court. There were varieties of food to choose from. It was OK.

These people suck. They’re rude and when I asked if they could make pot stickers since they were out they said sure but I’d have to wait. No problem! I honestly didn’t mind. But when they came out completely burnt I did. I pointed out to the woman that they were burnt and she was annoyed by my complaint but offered to remake them but it would be another 10 minutes. I get that this is fast food but seriously it doesn’t take a genius to keep food from burning.

Come on folks — you are eating fast food at a shopping mall. Who expects authentic? You’ve been shopping. You’re famished. You have no will power left to say no to the fried food and get a salad. Enter Panda Express. For $ 7.50 or so — choose rice or lomein, and two meat sides. The crispy beef was too over-fried this time and the lomein wasn’t great but the Orange Chicken is ALWAYS solid. And the beef with broccoli provides some green so you don’t feel too guilty.

If you are in a rush and crave Chinese, I guess it’s okay. Dont expect anything authentic.

Not authentic Chinese food. The food is not good. The price does not match the quality and thus, is very overpriced. Just not my cup of tea. This isn’t even good fake Americanized Asian food.

I’ve never had panda but I hear they’re delicious. I’ll have the panda and broccoli please! Panda Express is half accurate to its name. It’s fast but they don’t serve panda :(The food is the same generic Chinese food they serve at cheap carry out places you find all over the country. Panda Express just franchised it. Not to say the food taste bad, but no matter what you get you can taste the MSG. Chicken broccoli, General Tso, Kung Pao… all decent but you get that«damn, I probably shouldn’t have eaten that» when you’re done. Panda Express is the Asian version of McDonald’s. Quick and convenient, Taste okay, but it’ll fatten you up quick. It’s a pass for me unless you’re stuck at the mall and Subway is closed. And if you have«Panda» in you name it should be in the menu at least as a side. Can you say, «orange chicken with a side of Tai Shan.»
