I got a water cup with my food, and the water tasted horrible as if there’s built up in the lines. If the water is bad due to lack of machine cleanliness, so are the soft drinks.

I ordered the “Bigger Plate” with all chow mien, double Honey walnut shrimp and a side of orange chicken ( mind you when ordering shrimp anywhere you go it’s always an extra charge) And so I get my food and I go to open up my plate and clearly I didn’t have the double honey walnut shrimp. I had a pic that I was going to upload but there’s no option for me to upload a photo on here. Panda you literally just reminded me of why I always stick with going to “Mandarin Express “ because not only are they affordable, they ALWAYS pack your plate FULL!! And you wanna know what?? They even pack it when you order their coconut shrimp! And that’s why I’ve been going to them for nearly 2 decades. The ONLY reason I decided to order from you today was because I absolutely LOVE your watermelon mango refresher. It’s the ONLY refresher from ALL of the other refreshers that I’ve tried from other places, it’s the only refresher that isn’t too sweet, and it doesn’t have an over powering lemonade taste and that it actually tastes refreshing. That drink and that drink alone is the ONLY reason why I kept coming bk to you but now after today’s order. Not only did I not get what I paid for, the actual food

Our orginal Chinese take out spot wasn't open for another hour so I decided to come to Panda Express. The guy taking my order was cool dude. I told my wife that I've had the Fried Rice from Panda Express but that was in a completely different city and it was actually good. Not so much this time. They made a new batch of Chow Mein and Fried Rice. Thinking it be pretty good, I was completely wrong and embarrassed. The rice was basically white and bland and the chow mein was also dry and bland. Totally ruined dinner. I ordered on Monday November 10th at around 10:45 am or so. Something else that stood out was that the lady doing the drive thru orders, has lots of makeup and a tattoo of a ribbon on the back of her arm, as she prepared someone's chow mein, with the hand she grabs money and cards with, she grabbed whatever chow mein was dangling and put it into the To-go dish. I can honestly say I will never return to this establishment.

This location is terrible, from the customer service to the quality of the food . I went by this morning at 10 am to get me a kids combo the chow mien was old and smelled rotten disgusting 🤢 they probably had left overs and kept it sick avoid this place go to another location. The employees here seem overworked and not in the mood to help guest don’t waste your time and money guys .
