Oh why did I try to satisfy her cry for Chinese Food by going to this drive through swamp of make believe Chinese foods. There is absolutely nothing on this wanna-be- Chinese menu that looks or tastes like Chinese food. She needed a quick jolt of Asian foods to get over the funk of being hold up in the house with pneumonia. She got a plate full of stuff that sounded good that left her with a jolt of the trots. Nothing here dear! read more

Ordered the new steak and shrimp and this is what I got, only 1 shrimp. Also asked for 2 packets of teriyaki and young lady only gave me 1. Disappointed from this panda location. read more

Panda Express - Ordered Steak and shrimp with chicken teriyaki. Now I know I won't get all shrimps but really? Only 1 shrimp? - Fast Food Near Me - Buda, Texas

Noodles tasted like they weren't done could not eat them. The chicken and the Kong pow was rubbery just was not good at all.

The kids and I have been coming here for years and we truly enjoy this place. Food is good, service is fast and it's a nice change from burgers and fries though we do love those too. read more

The hours on their door, clearly state 930 but you show up there at nine and will not open the doors. They will never see business from me again. read more

I went there shortly before they were closing and they refused to make more orange chicken or chow mein because then person in front of me ordered multiple family packs and they were left with nothing and only serving what they had read more

Normally, I would not leave a message for a chain but I have to give credit where credit is due. Service was great and the food was hot and tasty. read more

I went to panda express on August 22, 2025 got up to the speaker ad ordered. I added a second side only of teriyaki chicken. When I got to the window to pay, the lady informed me that there was no teriyaki chicken available and I could wait for 10 minutes for a new batch. I elected for two egg rolls Which they had available and proceeded home. The black pepper chicken should've been thrown out an hour ago. it was the worst tasting food I've had from this establishment ever. Just a hint of the management you might want to put a toothpick in and take a sample of what you are serving to people. I wouldn't feed this to my dog. You lost me me.as a customer. read more

The food was great and customer service was excellent from Yajaira, she was great at her job !!!

My partner and I are pregnant and craving Panda quite often. We typically have a great experience but today, the food was not up to standard. The chow mein had more onions than noodles, & the honey sesame & orange chicken tasted like it was fried with mushrooms or something that threw the taste off completely. The service was great and we got our food really fast so I won't complain about that. read more

I could give them no stars I would this place consistently disappoints. In the last 4 months virtually every time I have gone they have omitted part of the order that I paid for. Today I ordered Andre and 2 orders of 2 egg rolls. They only put one order of egg rolls in the bag and there was not any sweet-and-sour sauce. So I tried calling the location to get a manager to complain and see about getting my second order of egg rolls or refund. They don't answer the phone I tried calling 3 different times from 2 different numbers and they just don't answer the phone. Clearly they don't give a damn about staying in business. They must realize there are very few Asian restaurants in Buda, So they have a captive audience. My advice is to double check your order every time before you leave. Or better yet avoid this place like the plague that it is. We will not be coming back I am sick of paying for eIs meals that we are not receiving. #AvoidPandaExpress I would give negative stars if I could. read more

It has become a joke between my husband and I that fast food in Buda is horrible (heaven help you if you go to the Jack in the Box or neighboring Sonic, and the Zaxby's can't get your order right or in a timely manner to save their soul), so I have to admit, we really took a crapshoot yesterday when we decided to try our local Panda Express. However, we were actually pretty pleased overall. When you eat at Panda, you acknowledge you're getting a mediocre Asian flavor experience. Comes with the territory-- you're making an intentional choice with pros and cons. We would've tried out the Beijing Bistro, but it was closed on Sundays, so we went to Panda because we were jonesing for Chinese food. We arrived around 430PM and it was dead quiet inside, just us and the employees; probably we beat the dinner rush hour, especially considering their buffet was loaded with plenty of everything to choose from. It was nice actually, because I was able to study the options and pricing without worrying about holding up the line (back where we come from in California, Panda Express is always hopping busy, but we've noticed Chinese food does not have the same following in Texas). We both ordered the large plates (3 entre + side) which rang up a little over $10, which seemed a decent price for the amount of good we got (had leftovers!). We took it to-go so we could have soda at home, though the lobby seemed clean. The guy dishing food was very polite and attentive, and he was in the process of training another gal, making sure she knew the importance of good customer service. They were both friendly. My guess looking at the reviews online versus our experience yesterday is probably that this place had a rocky start but corporate kicked their butts into trying a little harder, LOL. You might consider giving it another shot if its been awhile since you visited. Or not! Maybe we just lucked out! read more

I must admit I've never had Panda Express and for good reason, it didn't seem like something I would like especially with all the "good" Chinese restaurants out there. In all transparency the only reason I tried it is b/c I saw an episode of Rick and Morty and they said how much they loved it. So, I figured I'd give it a shot. Conveniently situated on the corner of a break out strip mall parking is easy and the area safe. Outside brick and mortar, 2022 Amerikana so devoid of much individual personality (not that chains are allowed much freedom). On a Friday at 11:30am I walked into the restaurant and noted it had low noise, was very clean and a pleasant atmosphere. I looked online before driving there and I saw Beef Chow Fun! I didn't see mei fun (think Singapore noodles without the curry component) or low mein so I was a bit let down. I scanned the counter and said, where's the Beef Chow Fun? Sorry sir we don't have that here. So the website isn't reliable in terms of menu items. Next there were a lot of open containers, which means less variety. The rice looked freshly made however some of the items had been sitting a while even at this early in the day. The beef and broccoli looked lifeless while the orange chicken had a sugary film stuck to the pan which told me it hadn't moved in a long time. Basically it was a tossup on what was fresh and tasty vs items that had a little grey in the proverbial beard. I opted for mushroom chicken and it tasted on par with a higher end Chinese buffet and the fried rice was ok but lacked flavor. It wasn't great but decent. The black pepper angus steak was good in that the meat wasn't overly chewy and did have a little flavor and complimented by the pepper. I had that over the chow mein which wasn't what I would call "good". Very stiff as if it wasn't cooked all the way and imparted no flavor. The chicken egg roll and veggie spring roll were enough to keep a soldier alive on a field but not an emperor in his palace. All in all I went in with an open mind yet my experience was pretty much exactly why I've never been before and won't go again. It's decent for dining but when I crave Chinese I need more authentic recipes, better execution along with more options. read more

Time and time again. I give this panda location another chance and once again came home disappointed. Ordered 2 bigger plates and got normal size Then got a large size of shrimp and they didn't even fill the large up. And to top it all off, A hair in my rice. Better off driving to kyle location they actually give you what you order and are cleaner. read more

Leticia needs more training on how to be a courteous individual. Your brand was not greatly represented today. What a terrible experience we just had.... It reminded me why we don't normally come to Panda Express...I was met with sarcasm and eye rolls starting from her greeting. Really surprised by the rudeness someone can exhibit for no reason. I just have to say this girl needs some more training or better management. read more

I literally have to drive to the next city because of 1 particular employee at this location. I believe the name tag says Leticia. She never wants to put any food in plate and will argue every time that it's enough. She has Zero customer service skills. As long as she's there I will not go to this location. SHE IS SO RUDE!!!! read more

Terrible service, the proportion was small, and they didn't have fortune cookies(and didn't let us know about that) even though they did have fortune cookies for sale The worst I've ever been read more

Welp, I gave this place a second shot and...not satisfied at all.... It tasted alright but my rice was all hard, there was a LARGE ball of flour that was supposed to be chicken, I paid $11 for a meal and I got unusually small portions, and my egg rolls were smashed :/. This location.....I don't even want to say it. I'm better off going to another location. read more

Portions were small. Barely half the bowl was filled. Too bad since I like the food and paid full price for a full size portion. But not what I got sadly. Save your money and go elsewhere. read more

Panda Express - Beef and broccoli Build Your Own Bowl - 1 Full Side - Fast Food Near Me - Buda, Texas

This is probably the worst experience i've ever had visiting a drive thru. We ordered our food around 11:30 AM, and there was no line when we arrived. they were not busy AT ALL. We spent $21 on food that was mid, and when i got home and emptied out my cup there was not one but SIX receipts in my cup. Yes in my cup, filled with soda. It's disgusting. Im glad it wasn't anything worse, but still how does that go un noticed?? read more

Fast food and ok service sometimes it's quick sometimes it's not but it's like the lottery if you win you win!

Food was all from the previous day. looks dry and old. orange chicken is small and cold. wouldnt get it again.

I am not asking for a coupon nor a voucher. This is the 2nd time visiting this location. And nothing has change with this employee. She is very rude again and missed out two waters. We asked her about it and she slams the window and gives only one. We just settled with it because he attitude is disturbing.... read more

Panda Express - Bowl - Fast Food Near Me - Buda, Texas

I love panda. This Buda location is kind of a mess but close to home. I was very pleased to see that due to the pandemic they were offering a $20 family meal. My husband is out of work and my hours have been cut drastically. So $20 for a meal I know is good is awesome. I went to the drive thru and was informed this is a special online only. The friendly worker told me to just pull to the front and he'd come out to take my order before I placed it so he could get it out quicker. He came right out took my order and then I paid online. My order was out in 5 minutes with silverware and sauces. I was very impressed. Thank you Panda Express. This shows how much your supporting the community durning this time. read more

Nothing is fresh. And they don't have chicken teriyaki. Every time i come they have limited items.

Panda Express been there several times, usually mess up orders, my son is on his way back to return an order, he ordered orange chicken received shrimp, asked for soy sauce none in bag, no plastic ware included! Surprise people keep showing up here! They'll tell you to park for your order and leave you waiting! No adult supervision! Good luck! Food is good you'll just have to check your order closely before you drive off! Alright Panda Express! My sons weekly trek back to Panda Express, this time the order was right! Plasticware, sauces and napkins all in the bag! read more

This store never prepares string bean chicken so if you plan to order it. DO NOT GO HERE! Today they were promoting Sizzling Shimp, so I tried to order that.... they didn't have it either. I'm giving up on this store providing good service and the meals they provide. They never have the 1 thing I want anyway. Buda resident P.S. The worst part is I keep going back thinking one day this store will surprise me with what I'd like to order. read more

Was excited when they opened in buda! Disappointed with the staff they hired. Every-time I came they always messed up the order with wrong food, or not even receiving the correct meal ordered! One time I asked for extra white rice on the side. And they gave me my whole meal in small side counters in a big to-go box! DISAPPOINTED! :( read more

Panda Express - Example A - Fast Food Near Me - Buda, Texas

So, this restaurant just keeps letting me down. Went to get dinner after a long day at work, to have the employees lock the door after letting other customers out 30 minutes before they close. Went to the drive thru and just got ignored, but they did serve the car in front of me. I'm done with them. Really liked it when it first opened, but either current management doesn't care or leaves employees in charge at night. Off to try to find dinner elsewhere! read more

Came into town and had hungry kids. Stopped here and sat in the drive thru for a while. Finally ordered and got to the window. I asked for sweet and sour to go with my veggie spring rolls. (You should not have to ask for it) So she took my credit card and handed me my food. I asked for extra sweet in sour. Glad I did because they never put any in the bag in the first place. She handed that to me and I asked her where my card was. She walked off and was walking around like she was looking for it! WTH?! I won't ever go back for that reason. You hand someone their card immediately after you run it. Zero trust in kids running places. read more

The food is always cooked well (I get the orange chicken) and the drive through is pretty speedy.

I'd give this 3 stars because their food is good, butttt their shipping sucks. And my orders always get canceled even when I put the right stuff in and have money on my card. read more

There's no express in this joint. We waited in line for 5 mins and the line never moved. Almost all the dishes were empty and 2/3rds of the employees are busy on the drive through orders. Give this place a miss, it's subpar on their best day. The tables were dirty and no one cared to clean them. They appear severely understaffed, under motivated or both. We left after waiting in line 10 mins and had Thai food a short drive away. Go there instead. read more
