It wasn’t bad… After our 20 minute wait in the drive thru, we were pretty hungry. But-It just isn’t great Chinese food.. they have limited options all around and when I told them I was surprised they didn’t have general tso’s (upon reading the menu in the drive thru) the young man told me they have orange chicken and it’s the same thing. No, it most definitely is not. Just stop ♀️ This is how you know it’s fast food and that kids are running the joint haha. It wasn’t bad truly, but it was not good in my opinion. I’d rather go pay for an authentic Chinese buffet. I won’t waste my money here again.

Panda Express is always a solid dining choice when traveling but what makes this place special is Logan ‘The Legend’ and his team of customer service ninjas. We had the pleasure of meeting them in the middle of a snow storm and they took care of us with a smile and helped make an otherwise crummy trip fantastic!

Employees always seem to be in a good mood. One male employee is always super upbeat and friendly when we come in the evening. Food always seems fresh and warm. A few times the rice has tasted off and had brown burns on the bottom so I have just switched to the chow mein. Overall this is a very good location to eat at. Always pretty clean.

Main complaint, wish their dishes were explained clearer. We each got 3 entree meals each. We asked the guy behind the counter what all came with that. Because the wall menu didn’t explain it. All he said was “You get 3 entrees and a side.. ” Now most the Asian food options that we have gotten from other places, went like this: Rice/noodles came with your dinner, then you pick out your 1-3 entrees, then you pick your side, which usually is something like a eggroll or a crab ragoon…. What happened here: Our rice/noodles counted as the side, the one eggroll was counted as one of the entrees, then our other 2 options. Now, not complaining that they can’t count thier food choices any way they want. What I have an issue with is, this was not stated clear on wall menu, nor did the guy behind the counter explain it to us when we asked him about the meal at the beginning. We would have made different choices had we understood that rice was counted as your side, and your eggroll was counted as one of your entrees. Just be clearer is all we ask. On top of the confusion, The guy seemed irritated or overwhelmed. Which, we get, sometimes that happens. We wiped down our own table, and the food taste was just Okay in our opinion.

One thing I like about Panda express is they have delicious fried rice with orange chicken combo. Yes it’s pricey but still worth it. The employees are very nice and polite at this location.

Ordered at the drive thru – honey sesame chicken, crab rangoons, and sweet&sour sauce. Got home and realized that what was supposed to be chicken was shrimp and there was no sauce for my rangoons. Probably the most disappointing drive thru meal I’ve had.

We don’t love how it can be hit or miss sometimes but this time was great (good food, quick service, large portions) I think going during the day is best

I ordered the honey walnut shrimp bowl and this is what I received for my $10. 7 shrimp. The container isn’t full. I got ripped off. Not happy. Won’t be wasting my money here again. And no, they were not busy. I went through the line at 3:30pm.

Had a great bunch here today. Food was fresh and delicious. I really love the convenience of this location opening up and 9 A.M. Gives more choice’s instead of only breakfast will definitely be back.

The foods pretty good. But sometimes they end up putting you very little amounts or instead of putting a good ratio of noodles and its veggies, the veggie ratio ends up being higher. They need to fix that ratio.
