However, what I received was half rice and half chow mein with broccoli beef instead. Unfortunately, the food was both cold and burnt, making it inedible. I ended up having to throw it away. I had always considered Panda Express to be a reliable choice, but this experience was a disappointment. It seems that the order was made right before closing time at 6pm, and I suspect they may have given me leftovers. This was definitely the worst Panda Express experience I have ever had.

The food can be very wet one day and extremely dry another, although it is generally well prepared. The orange chicken, honey walnut shrimp, and teriyaki chicken (w/ teriyaki sauce packets) are all good options, with the orange chicken being the most consistent in both quality and taste. However, the service is lacking, and I have had numerous experiences where my pickup order isn’t right (i.e. missing food, sauce packets, and utensils on delivery and pickup). The staff is also often unfriendly with their customers, and the wait can be quite long (even for pick up orders, where the food is already prepared). Overall, the atmosphere is quite nice. The space is very clean and has plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors. It is usually pretty easy to find a seat indoors, although during lunch hours it may be easier to find a seat outdoors. It is also not too loud inside, even during peak hours (lunch). Overall, the food and atmosphere at this Panda Express are pretty good, although I would make sure to check my order before paying/leaving, as they have often gotten my order wrong.
