I came to Panda today and the food was exceptional. The people at the front were very attentive and one of the cooks (Suad?) was really friendly and kind. I tried the new menu item and it was very good and would definitely recommend.

The staff are very friendly. Our orders have always been right. Even if there are many cars in line the wait time isn't bad

It was good food, the beef was over cooked but they are always in a hurry I totally understand why. I feel like they need more help sometimes 😕

On 6/29 I sat in the drive thru for 40 minutes before I got by food and that was AFTER I called them to complain about the wait. So much for “fast food”. I hear that some manager thought it would be smart to schedule only 3 people during a dinner rush. I tried speaking to the manager on duty, but she needs customer service training. The actual staff was sympathetic, but I don’t expect them to stay long if they are over worked and yelled at by customers for things outside their control. I would have gone in if I hadn’t been on day 3 of a migraine and feeling like crap. Management needs to change.

The manager BETTY was not training the new hire what so ever. There was a mishap in the order due to the girl not knowing the menu, which is understand as she is on her first day. As I let Betty know she needed to do a better job training her new hire she walked away on her cellphone each time. ALYSSA was doing such a great job for being abandoned and not being properly taught. I will never return due to Betty’s attitude and lack of training and concern for the misunderstanding of my order. ALYSSA gets five stars all the way around for her service and smile and apologetic reform. As for BETTY, I wish there was a negative star option. Very rude and LAZY!

I’m disappointed greatly by this experience. Had a long hot day working outside, looking forward to a good meal. I get home open my box and find a depressing amount of actual meat and too much rice. I paid $15 for a palm sized amount of chicken (5pcs) and shrimp (5pcs)

The employees were friendly and helpful but the food was bland. The crab Rangoon was not good. The filling flavor was bland and seemed like there were no crab meat in it. It was to runny and hard to eat.

I went around 4pm and no one was waiting. I went to order my food and all the pans were nearly empty and the food looked so old and stale. I asked for fresh entrees and the server behind the corner said I had to get what was out. I will no longer be going to this location. Poor service and bad food quality.

I have been a customer here since they opened. I never experienced any problems before but I got some food from here yesterday. 12/30/25 Today I have severe diarrhea. Breaking out in sweat & clutching the sink loll. I was in a lot of pain & I think I won’t be eating Panda anymore.

I placed an order for pickup and arrived at the scheduled time, only to wait an additional 30 minutes. This completely defeats the purpose of ordering ahead. The most frustrating part was watching multiple walk-in customers get served before my order was even started. The level of incompetence I witnessed was astounding. If you value your time avoid this place.

Nothing, had to wait to pay for our food , stood in line for less than average food quality. I will never come to this location again, food was horrible. And the amount you get for what you pay is ridiculous. Used to be a nice one..

Ordered food at 10:30am for a noon delivery. Food was ready by 11:17. Picked up at 12:17 and delivered at 12:50. Food is cold and cannot even eat some of it. Manager said it was not her fault and wont do anything about it.

Did an online over order over 45 minutes ago. I’ve been sitting here watching no less than 20 to 25 other customers come through and get their food, plus the drive thru line orders. Well, half of my food is being packed the other is sitting there getting cold. Ridiculous. Manager doesn’t know how to manage. Made me late to pick up my other food order. Now I have two cold, soggy food orders for Friday family night. My order should’ve been free Will never order from here again.

Idk what i ate from here that made me sick but it was genuinely evil, it made my vision blurry my head hurt and my stomach is constantly turning. I stood up all night groaning from the pain and nausea, i will never ever eat panda express again

Order was to be delivered at noon. Food was set out at 11:15. Food was cold and stale. Terrible management is no help. Avoid this location if possible.

Went to get lunch, ordered, sat down. Saw a meeting between what looked like two managers and a register employee. Proceeded to sit her down in the dining area with 10+ customers around and either gave her a ultimatum or allow her to quit. She was visibly distraught and they kept barraging her to make a decision. In the middle of the dining area. She was super visibly upset and clearly uncomfortable because they did it in a public setting instead of the back area. Incredibly disrespectful, unprofessional, and just all around nasty.
