Panda Express

Pros: Quick, ready to go Chinese entrees.
Cons: Combos heavy on the rice, light on the entrees.

Panda Express is one of the restaurants that you eat at every now and then, but never think much about. I had eaten there a few times (I guess) in various locations in malls up and down the coast. Recently, though. A free-standing restaurant was built on ...

Pros: Fast speed of Service; Good egg rolls; One of the few restaurants of its kind
Cons: So- so food overall; Dryness; Not enough menu options

I love Chinese food and I partake in its excellence at least once every week. My preference when it comes to Chinese is to visit one of the many small, local businesses that serve Chinese. I try to avoid the chain restaurants because they tend to serve ...

Pros: Overall good quality, large menu for a fast food place.
Cons: A little expensive for what you get, not always the best counter service.

For those of you that have never been to Southern California, there is a chain of grocery stores called Vons. Most are open 24 hours a day, have all the normal amenities that you would expect from a grocery store but some of...

Pros: Clean
Cons: Quality, Service

It does not give me any joy, to have to bad mouth a restaurant, but I have no choice with Panda Express. I honestly do not understand how they stay in business, as their prices are just as high as any other Chinese style restaurant, with quality ...

Pros: Wide choices
Cons: Long Lines

NOTE: For those who think that this review sounds familiar, it is. I posted it by accident under the wrong restaurant. Thank you to MaryTara for alerting me to my error.

I first was introduced to Panda Express while shopping at our...

Pros: Quantity of food. Everything tasted good. Reasonable price. Friendly service.
Cons: One item was overcooked.

Food Courts in shopping malls seem to have a lot more choices these days compared to just a few years ago. When I was recently shopping at the Park Meadows Mall in Littleton, CO I noticed Chinese, Japanese, Greek, Italian, and good old American food ...

Pros: Delicious food, great prices, excellent service.
Cons: None

I had heard people talking about Panda Express but I had never personally tried their food until a couple of weeks before this past Christmas. My daughter and I were shopping on a Monday and my husband wanted us to stop at our usual Chinese ...

Cons: Menu choice is limited; bland rice and noodles.

I teach. And sometimes my teaching gigs take me into the heart of downtown Chicago some 40 miles east of where I live. Usually I teach after I get off work from my regular job so I never have time to go home and get a decent meal. In the winter, ...

Pros: Good, tasty, fresh Chinese food at moderate prices
Cons: Limited dishes available; can vary by location

Where: Over 700 locations in 38 states throughout the U.S., Puerto Rico and Japan, with more openings each month. They concentrate on opening these outlets in shopping mall food courts, leading supermarkets and retail chains, neighborhood ...

Pros: Semi-legit alternative to burgers.
Cons: The taste.

Panda Inn is a pretty decent, pretty well put together Chinese chain restaurant – I remember going to the one atop the Horton Plaza in San Diego a couple of times; I particularly remember the end of the meal spent unwrapping the foil off the...

Pros: The price is very reasonable and the food is good.
Cons: Some non-vegetable dishes have too little meat and too much vegetable.

I'm not sure how I ended up at Panda Express the first time. All I know is that after getting my food and digging in, I was hooked.

They have a couple of entree combo meals that are a great deal. You get your choice of chow mein or fried...

Pros: Price, speed, identifiable ingredients, variety.
Cons: Workers are consistently unfriendly and cold. Occasionally food is not as fresh as usual.

Growing up in southern California, I really had it all without know it. I had a diverse group of friends with varieties of authentic home cooking any time I would hang out at somebody's house. At school the events always offered multi-cultural cuisine as ...

Pros: Orange Chicken!
Cons: not exactly authentic, the service isn't great

Panda Express is a fast food chinese restaurant that's typically located in mall food courts, although they do have a couple locations in my area that are not in shopping centers. The food court locations are usually just the normal food court location,...

Pros: Quick & Convenient

Being a true lover of Chinese food, I was thrilled when a Panda Express opened in my neighborhood! For me this meant being able to satisfy my cravings any time day or night!

A friend and I planned to celebrate their grand opening...

Pros: Excellent orange chicken, clean
Cons: Food not freshly made

A new Panda express had just opened in my area, so I thought I would go just to check it out. I like to think that I know Chinese food, and let me tell you, this is barely it. First of all, it’s fast food. Chinese food is meant to be eaten with family...
