It seems like whoever chopped the vegetables didn’t put in much effort. As for parking, there are only a few spots available on the side street, and it costs at least $1 for one hour.

Based on how the staff treats all the customers, I suspect the owner is working behind the counter.

This place, however, gave off a vibe of laziness; they seemed eager to close up early so they could go home. I noticed they were turning off the lights before the official closing time, which felt incredibly inconsiderate and unprofessional. When I worked in food service, we never started wrapping things up until all the customers had left. It's just basic courtesy. I will never return to this location, and I suspect the hours listed on Google are incorrect, as it seems they’re intentionally trying to close earlier than advertised. Please do yourself a favor and avoid this place—it left me driving home hungry, which is completely unacceptable.

It's consistent, and the staff is actually fantastic at this location and the interior is relatively clean. I don't understand how people can be so critical of a Panda Express on yelp.

We put in the order at 1:20, but we knew we 'd be delayed getting it so wanted to keep it as hot and fresh as possible. Received the auto text for pickup at 1:45, but when we got there, the receipt said it was packed at 1:20 when it was ordered. We spoke with the cashier who touched the bag of food and said, it 's still warm. We should have asked to have hot food packed then and there but it was too exasperating to continue on... didn 't follow the request and certainly didn 't fix the situation once they became aware that there was a problem .
