5/5 overall! If you're craving Asian food with fast and kind service, Pan Asian Express is a great option. The flavor and portion of the food were great for its prices. Fried shrimp tempura: juicy inside and not too oily! It tasted really good with the spicy red sauce and sweet and sour sauce that they have available in the restaurant. Chicken teriyaki: the chicken was cooked perfectly, not over cooked or dry! Its teriyaki sauce paired really well with rice. Hot and spicy tofu: my favorite dish of the three entrees!! The tofu, shrimp, and veggies were cooked perfectly. The sauce was sweet and spicy to me, which I really enjoyed - both bites with and without rice. :) read more

Atmosphere: 4/5 - At the end of the day, this fast-casual restaurant is located inside of the Woodburn Outlets. It's fast-casual nature comes with a minimalistic interior and menu, very much an "enjoy-and-go" vibe. Food: 5/5 - As with many Asian restaurants, the food is the belle of the ball. Drinks: 5/5 - Rather surprisingly, Pan Asian Express features a deep menu for drinks, including juice, fountain soda, canned drinks, coffee, and tea. Service: 4/5 - During peak Outlet dining hours, it can get quite busy and orders may have longer wait times (10-15 minutes). However, the restaurant is clean and was able to field all my requests (extra hot and teriyaki sauce, additional plates and bowls, etc.). There really aren't any further expectations of service above that. Recommended: Quite honestly, any Teriyaki or Yakisoba dish. I've tried the Hot & Spicy Chicken and Tofu, Chicken Yakisoba, and Teriyaki Beef on various occasions. Generous portions absolutely packed with flavor left me full and satisfied. The meat was also well-cooked and tender. Interestingly, the restaurant also serves hot dogs and fries. A particular shoutout to the Garlic Lover Hot Dog, which comes with grilled chunks of fresh garlic, and a delight to anyone looking for a savory treat. Overall, this place is my go-to during my visits to Woodburn and I've yet to be disappointed. Don't forget to try the house-made hot sauce! For those with spice tolerance, it elevates every dish. read more

Some of the best yakisoba I've ever had. Was not dry and very flavorful. After the first bite I couldn't stop. I usually don't get yakisoba because they can be dry and bland. Not the case at Asian Express. Definitely worth the stop. read more

Pan Asian Express - Shrimp yakisoba (half eaten) - Pan Asian Near Me - Woodburn, Oregon

Chicken teriyaki was overcooked Chicken yakisoba was extremely overcoojed. Noodles were gummy and extremely oily. 10 dollars for an entree is just.. Blah There are many other places to eat. Go to those places. read more

I was there getting my soda after ordering, the cook started yelling at a customer, asking what his problem was, the customer said he was just watching him cook. Shortly after, the cook kicked the kitchen door open loudly and confronted the customer, who hadn't done anything. The woman in the store got the cook to back off, and apologized. I've never seen anything like it read more

Nothing special but a surprisingly good option for the outlet mall. They make each order as it comes in and my chicken yakisoba was quite good. It was hot and the chicken was quality meat grilled perfectly. You could do a lot worse while walking around and shopping. read more

I always have low expectations when it comes to mall food, and this just proves it. Food is horrible and the flavors are weird. It's overpriced for what you get, but you are paying for the convenience of being inside the outlet mall. read more

The customer service was great, the food was delicious, and the portions generous. However, the prices are ridiculous! First off, why does it cost $10 to get some noodles for one? Second, I was shocked by how overpriced the drinks are, all I got was a water and it was still four dollars. I've been wanting to give this spot a try, and I have to say, this was thoroughly disappointing. I don't know if I'll go back or not. I admit that the food was probably worth going back for, but I doubt I would pay the nonsensical prices for it again, and I know for a fact that I'm not going there unless I have my own drink. read more

If you have a choice, or you can walk out of this outlet and get some food. I would recommend you: DO NOT COME TO THIS FOOD STORE. Cuz, the price is rediculously high and the food is eother overcooked or uncooked. I ordered a garlic hot dog. The dog is uncooked and the bread is cold! Do not go. read more

Okay, I am giving this place 2 stars liberally. 1 star because the establishment was very clean and 1 star because they served the ramen in a very cool authentic looking metal ramen bowl but that is about all I can say about this place. Panda Express would have been a better choice for quick Asian style food. There was NO taste in the food, it was bland and my chicken was very dry. Served on a paper plate when eating in and it appeared to just be slapped on the plate. I have to say we did not even finish either meal. read more

Well it is ok but don't have high expectations... I am sorry to say this but panda express is better... but if you are at the mall and need to have an asian fix this will do... read more

Chicken teriyaki teriyaki sauce super salty. I enjoyed the pop dog. Main reason for a one star is by judging the price and quality of the food. read more

It's ok I read reviews thought it was gunna be bad but it's alright could be better, but I think subway would be better

WHY IS THIS PLACE STILL OPEN?! Went to Woodburn outlet on Labor Day and decided to eat here with my friend. I got a ramen because they said their Fryer was broken, and most of their menu has fried foods in it so I was pretty much limited in options... at this point I wanted to go to a different restaurant but my friend wanted to try it out. Anyways I ordered a ramen. When I got it first thing I noticed was the noodles. I recognized those noodles anywhere they looked like INSTANT RAMEN NOODLES. The noodles weren't even cooked all the way they were barely separated. I knew that moment it was instant ramen so I gave it a taste and it confirmed my thoughts. These people really thought I wouldn't notice just because they put vegetables and an egg in there I asked to get chicken Teriyaki instead because I know for a fact it came from instant ramen packet and he took it and exchanged it for a new plate with no questions asked (Probably cuz he knows I'm right). Even with that plate the chicken was DRY and bland and the only thing that made it taste good was the teriyaki sauce. PLEASE focus on the quality of your food. TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE read more

It's pretty slim pickins in the food category when you're down in Woodburn on a marathon bargain shopping trip. We'd wanted to go to the famed Luis' but the clock was ticking and we'd planned a massive Korean feast to cook up at home. Gorging twice in a day wasn't going to happen. The choices at the outlets are Subway, a Baja Fresh ripoff, Auntie Anne's pretzels and Pan Asian Express (now featuring hot dogs!). Maybe I was under the effects of scoring insane deals on jeans but I picked a hot dog. I ordered a Chicago dog. It was nearly a foot long, but bland, room temp and generally uninspired. The tomatoes were pink and somehow even the relish was boring. I doused it with as much mustard as possible but in the end, the bun, which tasted microwaved, not steamed (yet it also had weird hard chunks) made me give up. I passed it off to the SSBB and even he couldn't muscle it down. Next time I'll spend my $8.95 on chocolate covered gummy worms from Harry & David's. read more

The outlet mall needs to re-think which dining establishments they let serve food. This place is terrible, I didn't expect anything spectacular, I just got the chicken teriyaki, really basic and bad sauce, but the worse part was how bad the veggies tasted, I get it cabbage doesn't smell that good, but they all tasted worse than cabbage smells. Customer service wasn't bad... But that doesn't mean it was good. read more

I got sweet & sour chicken today. When I got it my first question was: is this chicken or pork? Later when I tasted it was chicken that looks like pork but tastes like beef... Rice was dough, no flavor. If you love yourself, stay away from here.... ;-) I'll give you an update later on today if I got sick lol. read more

I was here with my family who was visiting from Hong Kong (HK). Here is the review from them. They said the food was decent, but not great. The kids like it, the fried rice was oily than normal. I understand that you need oil to keep it from sticking to the wok but rice should not be shiny. Also they have one TV in there. It was showing a music video, but it was Christian music. The video showed people singing along waving their arms and crying, just not a the right place to be showing that kind of stuff in my opinion. It can be a turn off. Makes me want to eat my oily rice fast and leave. read more

This place is completely forgettable and, trust me, that's a good thing. Usually I write long reviews but since most people will not travel to the outlet mall to eat here, and will instead pick at the last moment I don't see the point. They have Americanized Chinese food and and hot dogs here. The place was hopping on a Saturday but I think that's do to how few choices they have at the outlet mall, a thin selection I found stunning. Avoid this place if you can help it. read more

Hello overprice and not so good food!!! Well it is inside woodburn outlet. Has an american menu (fries, hot dog ect) and a fake asian menu ( teriyaki +udon) The teriyaki here is rubbery, worse than most places. The udon is plain, like no flavor. The potstickers are frozen(not handmade by them) and are fried) The udon + teriyaki chicken with potsticker cost 15. Not a lot of places to sit usually. A lot of flies too! read more

Pan Asian Express - Huge onion! - Pan Asian Near Me - Woodburn, Oregon

Was visiting the Woodburn Outlet Mall this past Sunday afternoon. I got the Chicken Fried Rice. It was a good dish since I was hungry. It got very crowded as people started to roll into it around 1 o'clock. There is lots of variet to choose from ... include hot dogs and Ramen noodles. I found it to be somewhat clean ... People clean up after themselves. However the floor can be better maintained. Overall, I would recommend this place to eat when you need a break from shopping. read more

HORRIBLE HORRIBLE! I ordered a meal to go and the man behind the cashier did not acknowledge whatsoever so as my food was ready, I had told him I said to go and he proceeds with handing me a bag and a to go container! I had to pack it myself even though I told him to go in the first place && TO TOP IT OFF HE WAS ON HIS PHONE WHILE ON THE CLOCK! Very very unprofessional, never come here. Food downgraded over the years. read more

This restaurant is located inside of the Woodburn Outlet Mall. I can't say that it is good or bad. It is just average. You order your food at the counter, and they give you a number to place on your table. The funny thing is that when your food is ready, they call you to the counter to pick up your food. What is the purpose of giving you a number to place on your table??? My fiance ordered the Hot and Spicy Toufu. She would score it 5 points out of a possible 10 points for taste. I ordered the Chicken Teriaki Plate. I was surprised the it tasted better than I thought and the portions were decent. I'd score my Chicken Teriaki Plate a 6.5 out of 10 possible points. As I said in another review about the Woodburn Outlets, there are not a whole lot of restaurants to choose from. If you are really hungry, this place is better than nothing. I would recommend leaving the mall to get something to eat rather than eating here. read more

Bad service. Long lines. Ridiculous wait times for food. Hungry me.

I went to this restaurant only to be met with HORRIBLE customer service by one of the servers (an older male) who had a HORRIBLE attitude and was yelling at me in front of the customers. He yelled at me, told me to shut up and was yelling at me making threatening comments to me in front of the customers. I was extremely shocked by this. The woman in the kitchen was extremely sweet and had apologized on his behalf. The food was good but I was met by a terrible customer service experience. read more

Just needing a little something to tide me over until dinner, I chose the chicken bowl. Three-fourths of the bowl was filled with rice. There was a mediocre amount of chicken, but it had only one tiny piece of broccoli and a couple bites of cooked cabbage. After scarfing up all the meat and veggies (that were delicious), I threw away the majority of the rice. For the price, I would have expected more chicken and vegetables. read more

By far the WORST asian teriyaki place to eat. Its EXTREMELY, EXTREMELY dirty!! Flies were everywhere! The picture is above the kitchen area. Yuck! The Pepsi station was a disaster, the flooring was sooooo sticky. And the silverware holder was so dirty with crums and God knows what were mixed in with the plastic silver ware. The tables weren't wiped down. The potstickers sauce seriously tasted like watered down ketchup. Blah. The potstickers weren't good at all. You can tell they were frozen. They were rubbery and crispy at the same time. I would not reccomend this place EVER!!! we spent 18.95 for 2 plates and a soda. read more

Mmmm mmmm!! Best americanized chinese fast food I've had! I had the Spicy Tofu dish which was delicious!! The tofu was done perfectly. There were plenty of large chunks of veggies and the sauce was delicious. Other sauces such as sweet & sour and teriyaki were available condiments. The Chicken Teriyaki w/ Egg Rolls my bf had was great. The dish had nice big pieces of tender grilled chicken. The rice in our dishes were well done. No complaints :) Overall we were very very satisfied. LARGE portions, quick, reasonably priced and tasty! Definitely would go again. read more

For food in a mall setting (... not looking for superb... just quick) it fits the bill. There american menu... Corndog... my son ordered and disliked... their fries were weird... haha. I tried ordering Sweet and Sour Pork off the menu and they were out. I tried ordering an eggroll and they were out she said... I ordered Teriyaki Chicken (not a preferred decision obviously)... It was good. I dislike the seating... although outside is nice with fresh flowers hanging nearby! read more

Worst attitude ever seen from a waiter before. Not even mentioned the fried rice is bad and overpriced. Eat at other place if you can.

Ordered fried rice, it's a big plate with shrimp and veggies, tastes good. Service was good too. read more

Pan Asian Express - a plate of rice and vegetables - Pan Asian Near Me - Woodburn, Oregon

PSA!!! **REPORTED TO OREGON DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH* & BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU** I ordered vegetable egg rolls and tofu yakisoba. I bit into the egg rolls and they were still frozen, so my husband went and told them. He said they were remaking my egg rolls. The waitress brought me back my egg rolls... LITERALLY! My already bitten into egg roll was thrown back into the fryer!!!! Not to mention that they were brought back almost black and burnt! My tofu was still cold and uncooked. The mall manager went with me to get a full refund and I told them I was reporting the restaurant. The manager had to get the manager of this Asian restaurant away from me...she kept grabbing my arm and begging me not to report her. read more

Pan Asian Express - Egg rolls were still frozen! I bit into the one on the right and they threw it back into the fryer to cook it and reserved me them ! - Pan Asian Near Me - Woodburn, Oregon

Food was OK from price and quality considering it is in an outlet/shopping area. $7.50 for a teriyaki chicken plate was OK. A plate of sticky rice, some boiled cabbage at the side and two quite large chicken pieces with teriyaki sauce out of the bucket. Actually we had two dishes for a family of 4 and we were satisfied. Chicken was grilled through but not too dry. We were happy. Interior is very loud and not very inviting. Outside is fine. Cleanliness was OK. read more

The overall food was cooked a long time ago. We ordered chicken teriyaki and sweet pork. The chicken teriyaki was too tough to chew. The vege was terrible. I strongly did not recommend this restaurant to eat something. I will never stop by again. read more

I think they don't know how to cooking, no kidding the food is not good! And the service is terrible no smile!

Chicken is literally dry and hard to chew, noodles were soggy and over cooked I don't know what sauce they used for the yakisoba, but I had to stop eating it after the 4th bite because it had me running to the bathroom. Never again save yourself. read more

Pan Asian Express - Pan Asian Near Me - Woodburn, Oregon

This is perhaps the strangest place to eat ever. It's called Pan Asian Express, but they also have random American type dishes. I got a hot dog of some sort with sauerkraut... The picture on the menu showed that it came with fries. My meal came out with chips instead! I must say this was the most disappointing meal I had on my mini vacay. Meh... Some of the people I was with had the ramen dish, which looked like they took two bags of instant noodles and put it in a bowl. My friends liked it, but I just don't know how I feel about paying to eat instant noodles in a restaurant. read more

Take forever to order. No service, but have to tip and clean the table by myself. Food sucks. Highly recommend to reconsider if you would like to try! read more

Worst Asian food I've ever ate in my life, and I've been to 25+ countries. Save yourself standing in line and fighting off the flies.

This place the food sucks. They add way too much sauce on the sweet and sour chicken. I tried to finish the rest but I almost puked trying to read more
