Waited for this Panda Express to open an hour because I like the way they crisp the teriyaki chicken, which was part of my side order, no issues there. I asked for double orange chicken, fried rice, problems ensued with not being given enough rice, and getting 30% orange breading instead of chicken. This is why I stopped getting the beef broccoli. 70% broccoli 30% beef. More folks need to call them on these practices, or just stop going. That was the last I'm going to have my pockets picked by Panda Express for a long while. Now I've got to find out from a cousin of mine how she makes orange chicken, which is seriously 5-8 times better than Panda Express. The best orange chicken I've ever had in life.

Ordered premium items (Angus steak and shrimp) online. Picked up order and it wasn't even what I ordered! Receipt and sticker on box showed what I ordered but wasn't what I was given.Got green beans and rice. They closed before I could go back. Waste of $$

I am not quite sure if it's the ind. owner or the franchise, but this location has severely went downhill. I have been going to this location for several years (somewhere in the 10 yr range) and up until roughly 2 years ago, it was great. I understand that a balance between customer service and profitability may be difficult right now, but its definitely the wromg time to cut corners and allow certain business practices to carry on. Whats worse..the managers (I presume are in the black shirts) are there, ignoring the problem and continue to allow it to happen (based upon the flyer on the door..the seem to be making decent $$ and I'm sure someone else may appreciate it more). I understand about the price increases, but when you mix in other things, I start to wonder if this is still the place for me. The last five times (yes 5), I have had to wait for one or more items in my family meal. Sometimes, only a couple of minutes..but the last two times, over 10 min each. The orange chicken has several pieces not coated at all, the boxes have been roughly 90-95% full, the mango tea is out over 50% of the time, 1 out of 5x, I was told they didn't have any mustard (hot mustard..a common item for Asian food) and all of the people there do not seem happy at all. Lack of training, wrong people in the wrong roles, incentives for Mgr cost cutting, lack of qualified candidate pool, lack of owner awareness..whatever it is, it's not good. I would rather you close the location and force me to travel to a different location that managed things well.

It says it's open until 10:30 on "maps" for iPhone. So just wasted a trip. They close at 10.

This location is close to our work and I am often placing big orders for my team. Natalie is awesome and does a great job at preparing our orders on time and they are always fresh and hot! I have placed orders as early as 10:15 am and she always has them ready. My team loves the hot food and it's always their first choice when I am buying them lunch. Again, Natalie is great(sorry if I misspelled your name), and the rest of the crew is always on point, clean and smiling.

They are totally ignoring the customers in the store wanting to get food, for their online orders. Girls started helping us with order then walked way to talk to another employee, without finishing our order. Customer service is a Zero at least the food was hot.

cooked fresh and very tastyFor fast food Chinese there is a wide choice of entries and sides, prices have gone up just like everywhere else.4/21 A lot more people seem to be going out for dinner these days compared to a year ago the place was much busier and I did have to wait about 5 minutes for the food to be restocked so my order could be filled but it was still very very good food, I do have to admit I was there basically during the dinner hour.

Went in today to try the new sizzling shrimp. Not a fan. The shrimp was okay, but the green beans were crunchy. It was like they had not been cooked at all. I am wondering why the chow mein all of a sudden is just loaded with cooked onions. I have always loved their chow mein, but now I spend at least five minutes or so picking out almost a cup full of onions. Maybe the price of noodles went up and they are using less noodles and more onions.

The people working are miserable. Not just this location. All locations since covid. We're done after this experience.

Walked in, immediately felt like the place was just in chaos. There were 4 people in front of my family and I, there wasn't any chow main, by the time I got up to order there still wasn't any chow main and the server had a very rude attitude. She looked at me disrespectful said the chow main would be 10 min. I said that's fine. She then proceeded to make our orders wrong. Chow main took about 15 minutes still. Honestly it seemed everyone working hated their life and job and it really reflected back on the customers. Unfortunately we will not be back to this location.
