Had the Spicy Orange Chicken. It was a fun twist on an old favorite. The store was clean, bathrooms were clean, staff were pleasant and courteous.

My wife and I usually get the family meal which will feed up too 4-6 people. We have been very happy with the service as well as the quality and quantity of the menu items, everything is hot and fresh tasting. We Will usually call in our order which saves time. We frequent the restaurant knowing that we will be receiving the same quality food and service on our visit.

I came on a busy Friday night, which is probably why my experience wasn't so great. There was about 7 people in line. I came up to the counter and was completely ignored. I had to go to the register where they directed me back to the front of the order line. Finally my order was taken buy a girl who clearly hates her job. I felt like I was annoying her just by being there. We all have days like that. The food was excellent! Hot and fresh - probably because it was so busy. They put a great amount of fresh white meat chicken crackling with sauce and flavor in with my veggies. The chow mein and rice was delicious, not at all greasy. Everything was flavorful and cooked perfectly. I got a good amount of sauce, which I appreciate. I will definitely visit this panda express again when it's not so busy.

Panda has been in business for a long time. And there is a reason for it. They do have pretty good food, at reasonable prices, clean restaurant, and very well organized. That's why We 've been coming back.

Parking lot full but line was short and we got our food in less than 5 minutes and left. Came home and my beef steak and chow drinks was delicious. Mom got walnut shrimp and said it was good.. so all in all we were happy!

We ordered a very large order during the dinner rush. They were prompt getting it ready. A young man put everything on a cart and helped us get it into our van. As we were driving away, he flagged us down because an item had been missed. He went above and beyond! I wish we had caught his name. He was wearing a black button down jersey with the #24 on it. Thank you sooo much!
