Racist
June 13, 2023

Black people stop eating Panda Express. It is the most openly racist chains in America. I don't know we support these racist businesses. I've seen it first hand. When they're not speaking English they're talking about you. Trust.

Bad food, bad customer service
June 9, 2023

I had 2 different meals weeks apart in 2 different restaurants. Both orders were inedible. I wrote Panda, they offered a coupon for another meal, which I turned down. I asked for a refund, and am having to argue with the customer service to get it. Their food used to be good. Now it's not. Not going back.

Food and service
June 9, 2023

I went to the panda in the Scottsdale Pavilions. The food was meh but the service from Iris was fantastic. She was very busy with a line of people out the door she did what she could while working with those who stand around chit chatting.

Terrible service and food
May 24, 2023

9 months ago I had panda express food delivered to my house and it was cold and over an hour late. Made the mistake of giving them a second chance. Ordered orange chicken and fried rice and got burnt dry hard chicken and half cooked white rice that had the consistency of rubber and cooked super greens. Total waste of time and money. Won't be a third chance

Poor portions
May 14, 2023

Panda recently raised it's prices and now gives you smaller portions. Also, the chain already charges me extra for it's coconut shrimp, but now has shrunk that portion too. I have made my last visit to Panda and Chipotle. Both have lost their luster. Addios!

Ordered a chicken diner.
May 12, 2023

It was total crap. Tiny bits in my order. It's fake not real chicken.
Chicken does not look anything like what they are selling.

Every location employees aren't nice they don't care and never smile or friendly. They stopped letting you sample which is bd because they are never consistency in the cooking and meat so you have to try it if it's good that time that place. They are getting lazier about chopping their veggies so they are big and bulky and most every dish is full of veggies with maybe 5 pieces of chewy chicken. The place is a rip off and they raised their prices to dine in real Chinese restaurant prices... it's a shame I used to avidly eat here all around the us since the 1990's it's at the point where it's just north worth it anymore. They chain should close down. Because I don't see them caring or making it good or with it again.

Ripped off first visit
April 29, 2023

New opening Panda Express 5270 US hwy 98 South Lakeland, Florida. Asked about my sides, she told me the beans were in the bottom of the Beef and broccoli. And they weren't in there. I wanted lowmain noodles in the other order, she had to put them in as I waited in the drive through. Not Happy not worth it if they don't care to give you what you pay for.

Dirty dining
April 24, 2023

I recently visited a Panda Express at Desert Ridge mall in Phoenix ARizona on Monday April 17.2023.@8:30 pm at night. I had hair in my food. After I arrived at home, the store had already closed.
The following day, I spoke with Isabell and explained that I would like my meal made over. She responded "I need the receipt". I explained that my proof of purchase is my credit card.
Isabell insisted "I need the receipt only".
I was later provided a phone number for Krystal, the general Manager, but she has not even bothered to call me back
I also have saved this meal so that a manager can conduct an investigation as to why hair was part of my orange chicken meal.
Today is Saturday. April 22nd and I will be throwing out the completely filled plate of orange chicken 1/2 fried rice and 1/2 white rice.

Not sure why protective gear is not required and maybe just maybe. Hair would not have been in my food. But someone should conduct a ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS.

Very disappointed in the lack of service and the hair in my food. This is not sanitary
Something crazy is going on at this store and when I asked Isabell if this is best practices for a customer to see hair in the food?
She offered no comment
HAIR IN FOOD BUYER BE WARE

Waited 20 minutes
April 19, 2023

I ordered food at the Noblesville Panda Express, in person, to go, on April 19th. What I ordered would need to be made because they were out, so I waited. After about 10 minutes they served guests who came in after me, who were dining in, the entree I was waiting for. They told me there wasn't enough for me and they'd need to make more. I said why did you serve it to guests who ordered after me and she simply ignored my question and said they could give me something else. I replied, I want what I ordered and had to wait a total of more than 20 minutes before getting my order. Not even an apology. Extremely poor management and I believe she was the manager! Do better.
