AUG 2025: Yay! This Panda has improved since my last visit. I enjoyed the new to me Hot Orange Chicken. Noticably a bit spicy (but not “I’m gonna sue for emotional trauma” due to tongue scarring) – just avoid peppers & seeds to regulate heat . Beef & Broccoli is better than last visit. Broccoli still a bit crisp – as it should be. (Instead of mushy melt in your mouth – shudder. Just say no.) & thicker sauce w/ good flavor (instead of a week beef bouillon broth). Please increase the # of candied walnuts in your rather tasty Honey Walnut Shrimp.
Staff was attentive, patient & professionally polite. Upon request, a nice server povided a free sample which helped me decide that yup, I wanted their Hot Orange Chicken. Crew seems well managed & restaurant clean enough for government work.
For the love of Martin (Yan Can Cook), PLEASE REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF CABBAGE added into chow mein (see photo – shows about 2/3rds the amount of cabbage to noodles…) There was OVER 4 oz of cabbage in my single serving of chow mein!!! (Alexa says there should be 1.3 oz of cabbage per serving.) Yeah, I’m not a fan of soggy criciferous filler, but come on. This is excessive.
Other than that, well done Hutto Panda. Thanks for dinner. I’ll be back.

My egg roll had a bite out of it already… I just got back to work, opened the bag and it has a perfect bite out of it. Normally this place is satisfactory, but that made my entire meal unappetizing, I tried to call to let the manager know, but just rang until it cut off twice. I dont expect a lot from a restaurant, but I do expect my food to not have already been eaten. Now I won’t have lunch..back to work.

Lo mien is normally not seasoned or sauced at all like eating spaghetti noodles with cabbage. Staff is nice tho, I won’t really eat here again I’ve worked in a Chinese restaurant so I’m kinda picky on the food and know how it’s actually supposed to be made only stopped here too try and for lack of a good Chinese restaurant in the area.

This place is very clean, but the fried rice tasted old. It made an otherwise good chicken and mushrooms taste bad overall. I liked how nice the staff was and how filling a one entree bowl is. The egg rolls were nice and crunchy in the outside, soft on the inside. I usually recommend the honey walnut shrimp.

On 20 November 2025 at or around 6:40. I entered the restaurant and was greeted immediately and helped by a kind and professional young African American lady. I placed my order then sat for 30 minutes while my ticket was ignored. Sandra was the supervisor on duty. I don’t know if it’s a training issue or culture issue! I will definitely spend my money elsewhere.

I have never had a problem with customer service here but it seems like everytime I come here I have to pull around because something isn’t ready. I’ve been here plenty of times and it’s every single time. I like the string bean chicken and they never have that made and then sometimes when I do get it there’s more green beans than chicken. It’s annoying waiting 10 mins for a plate and then there’s two pieces of chicken and twenty green beans. I just wish that during dinner time they would have everything cooked and ready to go because it seems to always be a problem.

My wife and I decided to try out this new Panda Express location since it is close to where we live. We decided to get our meal “to go” and eat at home. The drive-thru is an option there, but we have learned from eating at other locations that it is not really a good option with this particular chain. Anyway, there was a long line in the drive-thru, but not inside. Their staff seems okay, but some of them are very new. Also, as other reviewers have stated, the management of this location does have an attitude that is not exactly “customer friendly”.
We did get good service with our order though, the food was fresh and tasted good.
We will eat here again because of that and because of how close it is for us.

Not only was the shift manager and the young lady at the window extremely rude, but the food we received looked half-cooked and completely unappetizing. I haven’t experienced service this poor at a fast food restaurant in years. It’s truly disappointing when people take customer service jobs without having the basic skills or respect to handle them. From the very first word out of the manager’s mouth to the end of the interaction, the attitude was unprofessional, disrespectful, and completely unacceptable.
