My wife and I stopped here on a Saturday afternoon to grab a quick bite to eat. I ordered the Beijing Beef and it tasted like it had been on a steam table for 4 or 5 hours. It was just plain nasty. My wife ordered the Kung Pao chicken and it wasn’t much better. We also ordered Crab Rangoon and it to tasted like it had been cooked for hours. Topped that off with having to wait 10 – 15 minutes. The food here is virtually inedible.

Here’s the deal: Panda is ok when«in a pinch» for some Chinese-like food. Some of it is pretty good, although the sauces are likely from a bottle. But I’ve always found the occasional issue with freshness, especially with mushrooms and sometimes other veggies. Here I got the Mushroom Chicken and the Pacific Chili Shrimp with Chow Mein. Typically they will give you plenty of whatever side you order, but each«entrée» is about one spoonful and looks like a paltry amount. As a matter of fact, the plates or takeout containers are designed to have a main dish in the center and two smaller sides; Panda does this backwards and puts the side in the«entrée» position and the tiny entrees in the«sides». It’s kind of ridiculous. And cheap. Most people avoid the issues(unknowingly) simply by getting the default dish, Orange Chicken, which, while actually chicken, over-breaded and over-sweetened, has zero orange flavor. While they are good at building new locations, having a decent dining room, and being fairly consistent in dishes from location to location, they are lackluster in food quality and value.

This Panda Express is excellent! Been there a handful of times now and the food is always consistent and excellent quality. Keep up the good work.

I’ve been through the drive thru 3 different times and I have always experienced friendly service and the food is good also.

The first step into the restaurant it was busy and clean. They took my order right away. I got a plate which includes choice of rice or chow mein or both and two entrées. I got my order to go. I chose both rice and chow mein; first I had a girl but once I stepped forward some guy took over and I told him what I wanted. He made me feel so rushed. Like they wouldn’t even give me time to look at all the choices. It’s not like I had anyone else after me. Gosh. Anyways I ended up adding on an order of egg rolls too. My total came out to $ 11 if you round up. I got home and open it up. They gave me two bites of rice and some noodles. I know I’m not a big eater but what the hell. Half a piece of an already small piece of chicken and four pieces of some Shanghai steak thing. If I wanted a kids size dinner I would of order a damn happy meal. For sure never recommending this location to anyone or returning.
