Was drawonnoodles at China Express a mag?
This Panda Express has gotten better over the years. 2 years ago the food tasted stale and off for some reason. But now I crave the food here and it tastes freshly made. The lines aren't so crazy anymore so that is good but it does get busy some days. Who doesn't go to Panda Express and get the Orange Chicken? This Panda Express is up to chain quality for now.

What Kristen G dislikes about China Express:
The teriyaki chicken tasted like it hadn't been marinated at all. Broccoli and all veggies were undercooked, chow mein was very tasteless. Not sure what's going on here I used to love Panda but I won't be ordering again. Waste of money. View all feedback.

This location is busy. My order took a bit longer due to running out of food. What gets me , they took 15 minutes and still forgot my spring rolls. Well I guess I will never eat there again.

My online order was delayed by 40 minutes and I had to wait inside the restaurant for an additional 30 minutes. Despite asking twice about my order, I was only informed that they were still working on it due to one entree not being ready. After asking a third time, I requested to swap the entree for a different item. When the order finally arrived, the chow mein, other entree, and rangoons were cold. If I had been informed earlier that one item was unavailable, I would have ordered in person instead. Overall, it took four times longer than anticipated to receive my food, which was disappointing.

Good job to all these young people working on a busy night. It looked super stressful, and these kids held it together exceptionally well. The food is just Panda Express, but the smiles under duress were exceptional.

Long lines for mediocre food at best. Had to wait 15 minutes for them to make chow mein, which is supposed to be a staple. Definitely going to think twice about eating here again.
