The best American Chinese food. My order was filled correctly and the food is delicious. Potion size is a little small for the price, but it so delicious! I love Panda's fried rice.

I love eating here! The food is always great, but my one concern was the way the employees talked to each other. I’m sure it was a joke but seemed very unprofessional. One told the other guy to kys…… I’m not one to complain but should be cautious in public.

Tried this for the first time! Really impressed with Chinese food delivered in a fast food way! Its better than Chinese food I've tried in the area! I've tried the orange chicken, teriyaki chicken, honey sesame and the mushroom chicken. All very good. The fried rice and lo main noodles are very good. You get so much food in a plate that its two meals for MOST people I know. Good job!

Sooooo I DoorDash from them A LOT (like at least once twice a week). I think they think I’m pregnant and I’m not. I just oddly crave their food and it never fails to satisfy! Even when I go in person! It’s awesome!

I recently visited Panda Express and I have to say, Jeffrey had the absolute best customer service! From the moment I walked in, they all greeted me with a big smile and made me feel right at home. Throughout my visit, Jeffrey made sure I was happy with my meal and went above and beyond to make sure I had a great experience. Their exceptional customer service really made my day. I highly recommend visiting Panda Express and experiencing their amazing service for yourself!
