I was transferring flight at Atlanta airport. I was thinking about Panda Express and checked on Yelp. It said open from 7 am - 11pm ( or maybe 10 pm) wasn't sure. So I took an airport train to concourse E. It was 2 pm and the light was dark but I saw a lady was organizing and doing things at the back. I asked if it was opened. She said at 3 pm. I had time so I decided to wait. Almost 3, I started seeing people walking there and wait in line. I waited in line and what they had offer in that day was either rice or chow mein with 1 scoop of orange chicken as 1 side or with 2 scoops of orange chicken as 2 sides. I mean are you kidding me?? I waited for an hour for then to open for just rice or noodle and with 1 or 2 scoops of orange chicken. I gave a try anyway. I got noodle with 2 scoops as they claimed as 2 sides. Those were all they had. Got a bottle of Gold Leaf tea. Noodle was oily and no flavor. Orange chicken stuck together to be one ball. So much batter and barely had chicken in it. The flavor is just oil and sweet. There was nothing to appreciate about this meal and the money I paid for this. Only the tea was good because it was an outside brand. This was the worst meal and worst experience. I wasted my calories, time and energy for this. Never again. I was beyond disappointed. read more

This is probably the worst location they have in the Atlanta metro area. This location is super slow with the most rude lack luster employees and their food is not up to par with other locations. They don't service the neighborhood properly. They basically stop cooking food at 7:30 pm when they officially close at 8:30pm. Who closes at 8:30 anyway? Tonight it's 7:50 pm and the doors are locked. People are constantly coming while I'm waiting on my pizza. Close for good please. read more

Its your run of the mill Panda Express except in one of the buiest airports in the world. I was really impressed with the food quality, it was hot and fresh and very tasty. I feel like Panda Express can really be a hit or miss, sometimes its exceedingly impressive, others not so much -- especially in the not so busy locations. One caveat of this location is the lack of not offering one item bowls. It's either Al' Carte or Two / Three item plates. Although I comprmised I wasn't disappointed on this trip. If you have a connection or flight departing this airport and have that crave for american chinease, this location might suit your taste buds ! read more

Thank you Panda Express for coming in clutch while waiting for my midnight flight. Y'all were out of honey walnut shrimp unfortunately...but that's ok. Still bussin' every time! I had the wok seared steak & shrimp, chow mein, & sesame chicken. Yum! read more

Food is never fresh made overnight and thrown in warmer not happy with service rice was hard and chicken teriyaki was too sweet

Just move past it, the noodles were hard, the food flavorless and the texture of the chicken left me with questions. Honestly the best part of the meal was the Dasani. One the positive side, the airport keeps the eating area clean. read more

Panda Express - Looks better than it is - Chinese Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Showed up at 9:50 to get my daughter something to eat before our connecting flight. Staff standing there with food prepared, one mumbled something about not opening til 10. I decide to wait, and was told aggressively by another staff member that I can't stand there and to go stand out in the concourse until they open, where I would have had no chance of getting my daughter her meal in time for the flight. Extremely rude staff, body language and attitude indicate that there wouldn't have been much care given to preparing the food anyway...decided to leave. Do yourself a favor and choose something else. read more

I ate here on a Sunday. The service was slow considering it wasn't that busy. I wanted Orange chicken and Teriyaki chicken. Unfortunately they were out of the teriyaki and I settled for the string bean chicken in its place. The food was good as usual, but I was disappointed that they were out of bottled water as well. I know it's the weekend and busier before the upcoming Thanksgiving celebration, but hopefully next time they can stock up on some extra water ahead of time. read more

Ok, it's the airport. Home of powdered eggs and over priced everything. I've been looking for an oasis for edible food (at least) for a long time. One Flew South is ...nice...but for value and reliability you can't beat Panda Express. Stand around the food court at terminal E for any amount of time and you will find Tech ops, ramp, flight attendants, and pilots all q'd up at this take out spot. If you like Panda Express, this place is a no brainer. If you don't frequent them, be sure to give it a try. Chances are you will not be disappointed. I had the two combo orange chicken, pepper chicken and fried white rice. While the presentation was simple in a plastic box, the portion and taste was well worth the 9.29 I spent for food and a bottle. Tip if you take your order around the corner, you will find an out-of-the way spot to eat. read more

Food was more greasy than usual and was not hot except for the noodles. I did not enjoy my food like I always do and ended throwing half of my food away. The staff was not welcoming either. The service was quick and the prices low. There is seating available with electrical outlets. read more

At least it was Stuck in the airport waiting for international flight, wanted a light snack to hold me over until dinner. Got a side of mixed veggies. They looked undercooked so I asked for some sauce on it which they happily provided. The veggies were cooked slightly above being raw, so none of the natural sugars had come out of the veggies and none of the sauce would adhere to the veggies. But it was healthy, price was in line for the other options in the airport, and while the line was long, it moved fairly fast. read more

Disappointing. I get you're in an airport so everything is more expensive but don't be cheap with your brand. Too heavy on the rice and veggies; not enough meat. It's Kung pos chicken not Kung poa zucchini. read more

Panda Express - Chinese Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Airport Panda Express? No firecracker chicken and I thought that was one of their signature dishes. I got the Kung Pow chicken small portion, but not bad. Loaded up the rice tho, two servings and I thru away at least all of it. Would have preferred more chicken. That's my fault should have specified. The staff weren't friendly or even nice. I didn't apply for your job, I'm just traveling thru friendly, hungry, tired. read more

Panda Express - Chinese Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I love Chinese. Like I really love Chinese food and I want it all the time. I don't care if it is frozen, from a fast food place, or from a real place. I don't care I just want the flavors all the time. I always get orange chicken & fried rice from here. I wish they had sesame chicken, but I will take what I can get. The food always comes quickly and the staff is always friendly. Being that this is fast food, it isn't the best quality and not always the best flavors but it is still always good. Overall, a good choice for somewhere to go for Chinese. read more

They charge $8.30 for 2 entree and 1 side. If you get ONE small entree they charge you $8.35? They were out of almost everything so we decided to get one entree since the fried rice and noodles were gone, along with over half the entrees... The orange chicken was good but the pricing is a joke and the employees could be just a weee bit nicer. read more

Defying the odds, this airport Panda Express is one of the best fast food Chinese experiences I've had in recent memory. Go figure. Prices are the same as other PE locations, the line moved quickly, the food was fresh despite being 8 or 9 PM on a Sunday, and the portion is absurdly large. Is this the best Chinese food you'll ever had? Of course not. But, considering airport food in general, and fast food in general, you could do much, much, much worse. Manage your expectations (in my case fried chicken chunks in gooey, spicy orange sauce) and you'll probably be satisfied. Was I tired after vacation, suffering from a sinus headache, and maybe in a state of lowered standards? Yes, but that's pretty par for the course for air travel so I still feel pretty confident about my assessment. read more

What can I say about airport food?? What I like is that I can finally order vegetables as my side entree instead of rice or pasta, which is a big no no to me. Thank you, thank you Panda Express!! You are a first for airport food and a blessing in disguise! Who would have thought? read more

I don't have a Panda Express near my home so I always go to Terminal E when flying through Atlanta to get my fix. I believe due to the high volume of passengers that travels through, you have a really good chance of getting freshly stir-fried foods at this airport location compared to other Panda Expresses. I specifically like their Kung-Pao Chicken, and their String-Bean Chickens. read more

This was by far the worst Panda Express experience I've ever had. I travel throughout the airport consistently and today I decided to grab a bite to eat on E concourse. Not sure about what kind of day the worker was having but she was completely and utterly rude to myself and the others waiting behind me. I asked for their steak & mushroom blend (which was practically gone) so I had no problem waiting for more but instead of her informing me there would be more coming up soon she responded "I'm not moving around for you". I was in shock and if I hadn't been in such a bind on time after waiting I would have left. Those that heard the rude comment (that also proceeded with an eye roll, smacking of lips, and metal containers being tossed by her) got out of line and began apologizing to me on her behalf. I wish I could have gotten her name but of course she had her badge tucked so instead I snapped this photo (woman on right). I know this is not how Panda Express conducts business but after such a visit I won't waste my money and I recommend for those of you who care about customer service not to either. read more

The food was acceptable after I settled for whatever was left. The one cook moving in slow motion was in no hurry to refill the platters despite the long line. The young woman slowly filling the orders obviously doesn't care about her job either. Overall a disappointing experience but unfortunately typical of the attitude of service here at Atlanta Hartsfield Airport. read more

Food tasted hot and fresh, the line moves quickly and every item was available. Nice to get off the plane and get a hot meal.

Very rude workers, when it was my tire in line they didn't even greet me the just said what do you want... no eye contact, felt very rushed, and when it was time to pay didn't ask if that was all I needed didn't even ask if I wanted my drink. All he did to check me out was hold his hand out for me to hand him however I was going to pay. And the even closed 15 mins early. Please check your workers read more

OK. I love Panda Express.. but I was at the Atlanta airport yesterday and I have NEVER seen such rude employees. I get that they are on their feet all day. I get that it's busy non stop. But Ngom and Randall were so freaking rude. There were like 40 people in line and they could NOT have moved any slower. They would stop helping people to talk to each other. They would stop helping people to wipe up (SLOWLY). They would NOT say "Hello" or "Thank You" or anything. No smiles. Just sour looks on their faces. Had I not waited 20-ish minutes in the long line- I would have left. That's how rude they were. The girl in front of me was so nice to Ngom- and Ngom was ridiculously rude to her. The girl looked back at me and said "did I do something?". That's how rude Ngom was. Seriously- someone needs to talk to that staff. I've NEVER NEVER NEVER seen such rudeness. Ever. And that says A LOT... read more

Ok food. Service poor. I travel through atl airport few times each week. My biggest issue I try to eat healthy. My favorite healthy meals and assist the mixed vegetables with either beef broccoli or green beans and chicken. Anytime after 7 PM they're out of mixed vegetables and I don't want to make anymore. The rotten out of lo mein doodles as well leave and just rice. I know it's your approach the closing time of town they need to be winding down but three hours before closing and they can't offer regular menu items that are healthier nutrition. read more

They don't have any vegetarian entrées. Usually they have a tofu option at their other locations.

Hello Ceo I'm Very Disappointed In Panda Express Especially Corporate In 2019 December 8th On My Birthday I Went To Panda Express By The Way The Food Is Awesome I Ordered The Three Entree Extra Honey Walnut Shrimp My Total Was 20:41 The Cashier Charged Me For Each Item Three Entree Items Is $9.99 When I Realized I was Overcharged I Asked For My Money Back She Pretended To Put The Money Back On My Debit Card So I Called Corporate That Monday Corporate Apologize Then Ask Me To Fax Them A Copy Of The Receipt At My Expense 2:99 Then They Made A Decision To Give Me A $10 Gift Card The Gift Card Came In The Mail It Was Not Activated With No Money I Called Corporate Back The Third Fourth And Fifth Time All They Did Was Argue And Disrespect Me About My $20.41 The Second Gift Card Five Month's Later Another One Not Activated Blank Gift Card August 2020 It's December The 12th 2020 I Have Never Received The Gift Card And I Still Have The Original Receipt And The Debit Card I Had To Cancel I Still Eat Panda Express Talk About Loyal Customer After All Of There Disrespecting And Degrading Arguing read more

Just tried to get a A La Carte box of orange chicken. While I waited in line the "server" was taking her time in front of me. Meanwhile the person behind me decided to go right to the register and order there. People in line were not happy. Terrible customer service. Wish I could add a photo of the person. read more

Depends on when you get your food. If you get it when it's freshly made, it's good food. If you get it after being there for a couple of hours, the food is dry and not tasteful. read more

Good option to grab a bite in between flights. The food is fresh, fast, and pretty good. I like the teriyaki or mandarin chicken without sauce. read more

The workers were so lazy!! Look I get it, it's late and they wanna head home. I worked in fast food during late shifts myself. However, I have NEVER ignored a SOLE customer in line after making direct eye contact and seeing that they're ready to order. The two ladies proceeded to look at me, whispered to each other in front of me, and still just waddled around until finally one of them asked me what I wanted. After I stood there the entire time waiting to be helped. The cash register lady also ignored me as well so she can chat it up with some boy. I only gave an extra star cause the food was still good and hot. read more

Tipping my hat to Franca today. This PE at ATL was a zoo. Huge line. Folks in a hurry. Mother Nature had been wreaking havoc on travel all day. Missed conncetions. Delayed flights. Etc. So imagine what a pleasant surprise it was to discover that it was Franca and her colleagues at Panda Express who took up the responsibility of being the defusers of this potential powderkeg of agitated travelers. They were witty and pleasant and civil to everyone as we all moved through PE's trademark assembly-line of 2 entrés + fried rice. Making us all smile and laugh and feel that we were a traveling community, not just stressed individuals who'd missed connections or were killing time on an unplanned and unwanted three-hour layover at an overcrowded hub airport. And Franca even went one step further. She volunteered to be my personal chef and food advisor. I did what I don't often do -- succumb to the marketing material -- and ordered the Firecracker Chicken, which was being heavily promoted. But instead of just allowing me to fall for the marketing hype, Franca intervened and took it upon herself to warn me, with a smile, that the dish was exceedingly hot, and perhaps I wanted to reconsider. I asked if it was indeed fiery, and she said that for her, it was. But instead of leaving things in the realm of theory, she daintily and efficiently unwrapped a toothpick and skewered some choice and representative pieces of said chicken, and let me test it. It's the kind of gesture of concern and solicitousness that you'd expect at a boutique charcuterie dispensary, not a massive Chinese food chain. But Franca went that extra mile (well her actual reach was about two feet, but figuratively it was that mile). Having tasted the wares, I deemed it worth the risk. And ten minutes later, as my lips seared a bit from the edible inferno, I walked back over to Franca, thanked her again, and said "now is the time, if you're so inclined, to say 'I told you so'." Thanks for caring, Franca. read more

Panda Express Hartsfield airport concourse E. You get what you pay for. Orange chicken was indeed orange with a touch of burnt aftertaste. The fried rice looked semi fresh but was very dry. Soy sauce was required to complete the experience. If it were not for the burned aftertaste it would've had one more star for the review . One of the stars is for quantity, I did not eat it all but left full. Return trip maybe i will pass panda and get a 5 guys burger next time. read more

The employees are super lazy !! I ordered teriyaki chicken and like most Panda Express I always have to wait to be cooked which is no problem for me, but the cooker told me straight up "I don't want to cook it" it's just ridiculous. I had to literally beg them to cook it which no one should ever do !! The worst Panda Express I've ever gone to. read more

Fairly good for airport meal. Nothing fancy but at least you get fast hot meal. The serving is fair also. They use a scoop ladle for each viand you choose. The Beijing beef is good but I could barely taste the meat on the mushroom beef since my scoop was mostly mushroom and cucumber in it. But the sauce and savory part was good. read more

Update 10/7/18 I'm a regular passenger at Atlanta airport and always eat at Panda Express there. Today I noticed that the servers were moving between the food line and the cash registers, handling cash, then going back to serving dood without any hand washing. Aside from being a poor hygienic practice, it's a public health violation. Management needs to ensure that this does not happen in order to prevent food borne illnesses. It's just plain disgusting! read more

I've been to my fair share of cheap Chinese joints and Panda Express is usually in the upper crust. Surely it would be worth taking the train all the over to Concourse E, I thought. Wrong. The orange chicken in particular was like eating Chicken McNuggets drenched in sugary orange slop. The rest of the entrees---the string bean chicken and the peppercorn shrimp---were just serviceable, maybe 3 stars. All delivered on a bed of fried rice in a classically unattractive styrofoam tray. Actually, I shouldn't complain about the disposable tray---it made jettisoning the last third of my dish that much easier. For this price you might as well go next door to Qdoba, where the food is still overpriced but at least you won't feel like you've committed a small crime against your health. read more
