Was Carol McCullough at Panda Express a mag?
The employees are wonderful. They are well groomed, polite, very efficient. I arrived early was happy to wait. I was given a free cold drink by a young man. Then a young lady copied my order off my phone filled it right away. The beef in the beef Broccoli entree was very tender. On the other hand, the Broccoli was too tough to chew. The Kung Pao Chicken was perfect as was the Beijing Beef the Chow Mein. I Will be bac... View all feedback.
What Julie S dislikes about Panda Express:
Don't bother...ordered 3 bowls and was told id have to wait because of green beans! Drove to the front and joined 2 others waiting. It wasn't busy and 1 bowl was correct out of the 3. Did not pack any soy sauce either. Forget you! View all feedback.

They recook old chicken. 2 times I’ve gone here and they recook dry old chicken to keep from preparing more. It’s just a fried shell.
I ordered takeout from this restaurant at 5:20 PM tonight. This was my third time eating here. The food lacks flavor and tastes the same no matter what you order. While the freshness is good, the portion sizes are small for the price of $11.95 for two main dishes and a side. The service is lacking, as no one greeted me or acknowledged my presence. None of the employees smiled, which has been the case during my last two visits as well. It seemed like nobody was enjoying their work. I had to take my receipt from the machine myself, as the staff member didn't offer it to me. The restaurant was clean, but I will be looking for another Chinese restaurant in Apache Junction. Thank you.
This place is just awful!! Have given 3 chances and always disappointed. The staff are rude, and don't know what they're doin..or care.Every time our food has been old dried out and doesn't taste right. Orange chicken doesn't taste like Orange chicken. Soggy rice that's mush, and burnt egg rolls. $45 of food down the drain, won't be back to Panda Express..seems a trend throughout the chain of not giving a f*ck.This store seriously needs restructured, employees retrained to suit the needs of the store and customers not their own.
Once again, went to the restaurant for dinner and half of the menu items, such as Chow Mein, were unavailable. There was nothing left to eat by 7:30pm!
The food is all that matters. First, let us remember that this is western U.S. style Chinese food, not very close to the authentic thing if you're from San Francisco, Seattle,or NY.1. All three of my items tasted like petroleum by-products due to the styrofoam containers which are banned in many areas of the country. At the least they could line the containers with paper.2. Kung Pao Chicken. Not too bad, give it 3.5 on scale of 5. Wasn't fresh.3. Chow Mein. It was stale and leftover...that's why they added so much onion ruining the softer taste of the -re-cooked noodles. A grade of 1 on the 5 scale.4. Angus Pepper Steak. Two bits/bites of meat, and that was it. A wasted pick. another 1 on the 5 scale.5. Orange Chicken. Trust me Panda Express didn't invent this entry. First had it in 1969 where it had been a mainstay since the 1930's. A grade of 2.5 on the 5 scale.Doubtful I will eat there again as there are many better choices within 15 minute drive.
