They have good food but the customer service can be really crappy. For me driving 35 minutes to get Panda Express I would think that at least the customer service was good . Also I came about 3 and they were out of several items.. why is there no food and it's the middle of the day? And they didn't really offer to make more or say what the wait was . Kind of dissatisfied. I also want to know why if I get a bigger plate is it that y'all put the side on the plate instead of in the tiniest side container it's supposed to go in. All my ENTREES should be on the entree plate then the chow mein on the side in the small container. Overall okay but if you're driving far it's not worth it. read more

Don't order DoorDash they will give you the nastiest and worst quality ingredients left over.

First time eating Panda was stellar. Sometimes, I need some Americanized Chinese food, and this does the perfect job. I got the orange chicken, beef and broccoli, veggies, and white rice, and it was really good! And the drive through option was fast and efficient. Would come back! read more

Food portion was so small I will be hungry in an hour after eating here. Simply not worth the prices they charge . The food does taste good. I will not be eating here again read more

I'm not sure why everybody raised this place as low as they do. The staff seems friendly. The food was really good and it appears to be very clean. I think people expect too much from a fast food Chinese restaurant. For what it is I think they are doing a great job! read more

Panda Express - Clean area and nice staff. - Chinese Near Me - Apex, North Carolina

I've never used the drive thru since you cannot look and see if your item is fresh. Ordering inside is the best option. Use the app to earn rewards easily. I rarely order the up charge entrees. The teriyaki chicken is your best value entree. Best way to get a large portion is to say your order is to go. The to go box is about 20% larger than the dine in plate. read more

I ordered uber eats in this restaurant and the steamed rice and veggies are good match with walnut shrimp and broccoli beef, lots of vitamins. Orange chicken is also good, it's very crispy although through such a long way till it came to me. read more

I went to this location and the staff was kind but I didn't appreciate the fact that I pulled up at 9pm and they already had the chairs on the tables when they close at 10:30. They turned all the lights off around the building at 10pm. Everywhere online says 10:30. I would be upset if I traveled to get something to eat and somewhere closed early. I traveled from Durham because I like that it's opened later compared to other restaurants but I will be going to the Raleigh location from now on. read more

I love authentic Chinese food but there are days where I need myself some Panda Express. It's nice to see more PE popping up in the Triangle because it's on another level, especially for a quick lunch. This location is a bit out from the Triangle park but worth the visit. What I don't like about this particular location is the traffic. It can get congested and getting out can be like a maze. I would avoid lunch hours or take an early lunch break. The food is fresh! The walnut shrimp was so good! Also, the crispy beef. If you're looking for a quick bite to eat, this is not a bad spot; especially for under $10. The only downfall is the Panda Express mobile app. Wished it worked better and gave out coupons/deals. read more

Oh Panda Express. Serving sizes are inconsistent, always have to wait for items, small issues that could easily be fixed. Also smile a little! :) read more

Ya'all have likely read my humble opinions on the state of Chinese food in Apex. So far, I've found one decent place with the rest ranging from dismal to nasty. I had kinda given up hope. My son drug me to Panda Express saying that it has changed. Well guess what....it has! It's clean with a fair assortment of dishes. We went at lunch and everything was really fresh. I went with the wok fired shrimp and was pleasantly surprised. It was mildly spicey and the veggies were still crisp. It was vastly different from the soggy nasty Chinese normally found at the mall (where this company originated). Malls have evolved and so has Panda express. They have outdoor seating and a drive thru too!! read more

Panda Express - wok fried shrimp - Chinese Near Me - Apex, North Carolina

Unless you go to this place when it's busy, the foods are soggy and overcooked/over heated. Though drive through is convenient, I should have gone inside and looked at the foods before I ordered. read more

Waited in the drive through to place my order for about 5 minutes before being acknowledged. Ordered a bowl with black pepper steak with noodles and a mango guava tea. After confirming I said steak and not chicken multiple times I was told to hold and had to repeat my order over again for someone else. Get to the window and the worker said nothing. Just held out her hand for payment. A nice guy handed me my food and I was on my way. I paid almost $4 for a cup of ice. The tea literally had about 5 sips in it. The noodles were dry. And we're not even equivalent to ramen you'd get in a grocery store. No sauce,no flavor at all except the parts that touched the 4 pieces of shriveled steak I was given. I paid $15 for ice,noodles and onions. Wouldn't recommend. read more

I love this place, since moving to NC, we've been here a bunch of times. Only once was it a negative, if you can call it that, the store was closed due to low staffing. The food is always great, it's standardized being a franchise but the location keeps the food fresh, hot and always coming so we haven't ever had to wait or pick something else. I pretty much stick with orange chicken. My kids stick with the peppersteak and my wife switches it up between the orange chicken and shrimp. They have a family bundle that is a pretty good deal, saves you a few dollars over individual orders. The kids working there are always polite, which isn't always their strong suite so the management is keeping the McDonalds staff away (a bit of a reference to the area McDonalds that are at 3 or less stars) Over all, when we're anywhere near PE, we'll stop in. At our former address, the nearest one was an hour away so with this one so close, we enjoy making up for lost time. read more

This was our first time visiting a Panda Express... I stated this to the workers before ordering. Despite this, I got the vibe that the employee was "annoyed" with me. Sorry? I ordered a meal that had 3 entrees and side: noodles (meh), orange chicken (ok), green bean chicken (meh), and another chicken I can't remember the name of but it was just "meh" as well. I love American Chinese food but this was just average. My kids seemed to enjoy it (but then again, they eat their own boogers so...) Restaurant was clean and there was plenty of seating. Located right off 64. Personally I would rather try some other Chinese places before returning to Panda Express. read more

Panda Express - Chinese Near Me - Apex, North Carolina

I'm a sucker for Panda Express, but this location in Apex has disappointed me over and over and over again. I recently moved to the area from the CA and can't find Chinese food as good as it is there. So, Panda Express is as good as it gets. Let me start with the portion sizes. I feel like every time I have ordered a plate or bigger plate; the amount of food I receive is no where near worth the money they charge. When I would go to PE in CA, I would have enough food (entrees and sides) for 2 meals. Unfortunately, the portions you receive from the Apex location is extremely minimal. Ex: orange chicken: I received 4 pieces of chicken, Kung Pao chicken: I received a half of a spoon full (I watched them put it in the container) and finally the sides, Fried Rice: 1 small spoonful. As mentioned, definitely not worth the money. Next, the customer service is horrible. No hello, No Thank you, No Have a good. Nothing, they employees just seem miserable. And Finally, Door Dash.... It's never on or the items are very limited. I have asked about this and I was told that the opening person forgets to turn on the door dash app to accept orders. I have mentioned this to the manager (over the phone) and was told door dash is available. Ha no it's not. I feel this location has a lot that needs to be addressed, whether it's by the owner or corporate. I'm hopeful that things will change in the future. read more

I can't remember the last time I went to panda Express, but my expectations were low and today was STILL a disappointment. Everything was dry. No sauce, not even on the orange chicken. Too much batter on the shrimp that it was chalky. We got it to go and they didn't even fill up the to go boxes. Our broccoli beef was 70% broccoli, 10% beef, and 20% air cuz they only filled it 80% with food (see pics), same with shrimp. Chicken was filled at least, but lacked sauce. read more

Panda Express - Skimpy portions on broccoli beef and honey walnut shrimp, orange chicken was fine. - Chinese Near Me - Apex, North Carolina

This location is constantly out of various menu items and the quality of food they do have is sub par. Overall eh.

This location sucks! The selection is never as good as other locations for some reason and they are always out of items. The staff is normally friendly and my order is correct most of the time. Every time I come to pick up my order, the inside is closed, so I've never got to see what it's like inside. read more

I was randomly driving through the area and decided to try this stand alone panda express out. In NY, most of the panda expresses were located in a mall and were pretty decent, so i was looking forward to a decent meal (decent for a take out). The drive-through was nice and convenient, as it had 2 menus to allow you to review before you pulled up and placed your actual order. However, the negatives outweigh the positives for me. I ordered a bowl of beef with broccoli over white rice and 2 veggie spring rolls. The total price came out to be just over $8.00. The veggie spring rolls were actually pretty decent, and didn't taste 'overly fried'. They were much smaller than most, however, that was the best part of the meal! The "beef" with broccoli reminded me of the old wendy's ad - Where's the beef? The bowl was a nice sized bowl containing approximately 1 cup of cooked white rice. There was plenty of broccoli in it (probably 8 pieces), and if i was lucky, maybe 1/10th oz of a piece of meat. The meat was so small that the meal was pretty much rice with broccoli and a little bit of sauce. For the price of that meal, and from having previous "Panda Express" meals, I was quite disappointed. One would have thought that the meal would actually be filling, but was barely that. The time i went, it was not busy at all (no one inside), and no one at the drive through. It could have been because they were so slow that they no longer had any food left, but it would have been better if they said that, instead of lacking the main protein. read more

Noodles were 80% onions and nothing had flavor #goodcooktookthedayoff the rice had no flavor, and was not fried at all .... waist of time and money read more

We ordered the family entree and there were so many things that went wrong. 1. My husband went to pick up the online order. He placed pick-up time for 5:25 and didn't get it until HALF HOUR LATER. 2. They got our order wrong!! Instead of the orange chicken, we got chicken and green beans. 3. There was a piece of black wire in our food. How sad because my husband, a southern California native, is a huge fan of panda express. Though the taste is decent enough, the customer service and processes are lacking. read more

My husband and I come here quite often and the staff is always busy since it is a busy location however our experience -It's always pleasant

Solid place to get take out or to eat in. 3 star rating doesn't mean I don't recommend it, just saying it's a solid option and nothing over the top. With the explosion of amazing Korean, Japanese, Chinese restaurants in the area, there are now a lot more options that are worth and in the same relative price point. However, with Panda you know what to expect and the consistency is always there. With this location it's very kid friendly, and lots of space for them to run around. TL;DR: With the explosion of great Korean, Japanese, Chinese restaurants there are a lot better options, BUT panda offers consistency and it's a solid place to bring the kids. read more

Panda Express - Take out box - Chinese Near Me - Apex, North Carolina

It should be required that everyone eat at PE once in order to truly appreciate the food we get at your local mom & pop Chinese restaurants. This venture to PE landed me the rare mushy spring roll. The filling, supposedly cabbage, had become nothing more than a goo wrapped in a soggy outer skin. That was just the appetizer. The entrees were horrendous and the meats had a very consistent hockey puck like texture. Didn't finish anything. read more

First time visitor. Very clean. Very friendly staff. Good food but probably not terribly healthy. Would come back. Only negative is it was FREEZING in the dining area. EVERYONE sat outside. I think the temp was set for the cooks and not customers. Still good experience! read more

I pull into the drive thru Halloween evening to get my kid some food. I speak my order and even say "hi may I have" prior to placing my order but this girl still insisted on having a funky attitude. Anywho, I place the order and of course not a single item is already cooked so I'm told to pull around front and wait 5 mins for the food to be brought out to me. 5 mins comes and goes as other people that pull up after me go in and get their food and leave. 21 mins mins later I go in and ask where my food is and she has the nerve to ask me "what's your order?" The same damn order you told me to wait 5 mins for, smh...that's what order. She goes to the side and it's bagged up and just sitting there she offers no apology...no thank you for waiting. Nothing. The young men in the restaurant were very courteous but this chick has a horrible disposition and super bad customer service. read more

Average food provided in a plastic bowl. Food was lukewarm but rice was a good temperature. They have calories listed on the menu. I got the mushroom chicken for 170 calories but portion was small. Not very flavorful. Entree comes with a fortune cookie. Not the cleanest dining area (rice and noodles under our table). Staff was friendly and service was quick. There is also a drive thru. read more

We Generally eat here several times a month after tonight's lack of service I am not sure I will ever go back The team was doing a nice job of sweeping up while we waited ten minutes to order and then no one made a move to check us out Game over we ordered pizza So sad I love Chinese food read more

Ordered my food through Grubhub. Part of my meal was missing and the teriyaki chicken came with no sauce. The fried rice also tastes sour to the points were I can barely finish it and I'm not even a picky eater. I've been to Panda Express before so I know what they have and I know what I'm ordering but this is not even close to what the other places have offered read more

They were out of the takeout boxes so they put my medium side in a bowl instead AND THEN CHARGED ME FOR A BOWL WHICH IS THREE TIMES THE PRICE And instead of just explaining that they were out of boxes try tried telling me that they don't have the al la carte boxes at all. So rude and I paid triple for nothing read more

I am unsure what the manager on duty name was on Sun 4/14 around 4pm but she had horrible customer service. My fam and I witnessed her yelling at an employee. We asked for fresh chicken rolls because the prepared ones looked burned and hard. They cooked fresh ones after what seemed like a debating convo but they were hard and burned too. The employee admitted that the grease probably needed to be changed and I was told I would get a refund bu then the manager said she could not refund me. She gave me another plate free of charge however I do not like leftovers so not really a good option for me. Overall, the food was good with the exception of the noodles (they were dry) but it is very unlikely that I will return to this location because good food is not enough....customer service really matters and this location needs much work in that area. read more

Servings are pathetic. It's almost $10 a plate and they literally give you 2 spoonfuls of noodles. If my kids didn't love this place so much I'd never come here again but they do so we come even though they leave still hungry. read more

When it comes to fast food Chinese, I have ALWAYS been a huge fan of Panda. This is the only location in the Raleigh area, which sucks because i live in Garner. If you come here and don't get AT LEAST one helping of orange chicken, you should leave and come back in and try again. Orange chicken put this place on the map, and it's by far still the best thing they offer. I would suggest a two entry meal, BOTH ORANGE CHICKEN, and white rice... Throw in so Mt. Dew, and you got the best meal around! Tip: Keep your receipt because they usually offer free food if you fill out a survey, and God know's you will be back, so it's worth the 3 minutes it takes to save a few bucks. read more
