Food was perfect! Big portions and the orange chicken was crispier than the location I usually go to. Staff were friendly. Restaurant was very clean INCLUDING the men's restroom. 10/10 would come again :) read more

Edwin. A name that I will forever hate. Every time I hear it from now on, I'll be reminded of one of the most ridiculous, disrespectful moments I've ever seen in my life all over one tiny chili pepper at Panda Express. Here's how it went down. My father, a kind, respectful older man, politely asked if he could try a piece of a chili. That's it. Nothing crazy. Just one small, harmless chili pepper. The young lady behind the counter smiled and said yes she was sweet, kind, and had no issue with it. But then, out of nowhere, comes Edwin. Edwin walks over like he owns the whole restaurant and suddenly turns what was a simple, polite request into a full-blown scene. He tells my dad "no" in the most disrespectful tone possible and laughs at him actually laughs. Then, with the biggest attitude, he tells my dad not to point at what he wants. Like my dad's fingertip was so filthy it could somehow shoot germs through the glass barrier. The same glass that's literally there to stop stuff like that. I've seen rude people before, but this took it to a new level. I don't know what kind of power trip Edwin was on, but bro really made it seem like asking for a chili was some kind of major offense. He made my father a man who's worked hard his whole life, who raised me to be respectful feel small over something as stupid as a dried-up chili pepper. And let me tell you, my dad is not a confrontational person at all. He's calm, polite, and always treats people with kindness. But seeing the look on his face when Edwin laughed at him made me furious. It's one thing to say no fine, whatever, maybe there's a rule but to laugh at an old man for pointing at his food? That's next-level disrespect. We spent $50 in that place. Fifty dollars for food that immediately lost its flavor the second Edwin opened his mouth. And all we wanted was a single chili. You'd think we asked for a gold bar or the secret recipe to the Orange Chicken the way he acted. I honestly wanted to say something. My blood was boiling. I wanted to tell him to check his attitude and show a little respect to his elders. But my dad, being the better man he is, stopped me. He told me to leave it alone. That's the only reason I didn't put Edwin in his place right then and there. Now every time I think of that moment, it just makes me shake my head. How can someone be so miserable that they take it out on a polite old man over a chili? How do you look at a customer someone who just spent good money and laugh in their face? So yeah, Edwin, if you're reading this congratulations. You made sure your name will never sound right to me again. You turned a simple dinner with my dad into a moment I'll never forget for all the wrong reasons. I hope one day you find some humility, maybe a little compassion, and definitely some respect. Because right now, you're out here losing your cool over a chili pepper. 0 out of 5 stars. The food was fine, but Edwin's attitude ruined everything. read more

I ordered multiple party platters, paid online, and received confirmation my platters were ready. Arrived to location with my son and went to the counter where the "mobile order pickup" sign is posted. The middle aged lady and teenage girl behind the counter refused to make eye contact and when I asked if I needed to wait in the buffet line they turned their heads. I went to stand in the buffet line and was refused service. I waited until a third employee came from the back. He was a teenager and very helpful. He spoke to the middle aged lady and she told him loudly that I could wait. My son and I sat in a booth for over 30 minutes waiting. The teenager attempted to bring the platters out to me but the middle aged woman said I could come get them myself. I have never been so uncomfortable in a restaurant. If I hadn't already paid I would have left. I do not recommend this location. read more

I love Panda Express. This location is always hit or miss. They are always out of something I want. And my Uber eats orders are always missing something. The food I get is always good standard Panda Express quality. I do enjoy the food. Staff is great and always apologizes for what they are out of. Not bad but rarely great. I will still keep coming though! read more

This may sound ridiculous, but their bathroom was awesome. It was clean, warm. The water and soap were warm. It felt like a spa. The food was great as well. read more

Walnut shrimp, Beijing beef are my favorite. Don't order from drive tru. Service is slow.

I like the black pepper chicken. In fact I crave it. That's all I get there. Apparently they no longer carry it and that decision cost them at least one customer read more

I really want to love this place, but I've had more bad experiences than positive. I came one day around 4 o'clock in the evening and was told they were out of two of the main dishes that I wanted and they had no chow mein noodles. Seriously, how can you run a panda express without the chow mein noodles? Another time I came I ordered a medium soda. I was in a rush so as she was finishing totaling my order I put my card in she charged me for a large drink. Normally this would be no problem, but when I said "You charge me for a large" she shrugged her shoulders and said oh well and that was the manager. read more

My order: Blk Ppr Angus Stk. Beef was squishy/gummy. That's not good. Also, if your going to serve just the stalks of the broccoli please don't serve it at all. Every single piece was the lower tough as heck stalk. This is the stuff we cut off and pitch in the garbage at home cuz it's nearly inedible. These people are expecting you to pay and then eat what normal people put in the trash. There was not 1 single broccoli floret - I dug around just cuz I was shocked. Turns out the florets were in my friends togo box - I got all the stalks- she got all the florets in her Broccoli Beef. She stated the sauce tasted burnt . Real nice huh? Pathetic service/food is all I can say. 3 of us ordered. I ate my rice - the wife and our friend both threw their entire orders in the trash. What a waste. NOTHING looked like the pictures for darn sure. Don't any of you make the same mistake. Avoid this place at all costs. Oh yeah, no chinese mustard, soy sce, duck sce or chopsticks were offered. How lame can ya be? There were 3 fortune cookies but I no one opened them cuz we believe the fortunes would have read : " "Yall just ben screwed" I normally give a place 2 trys. Not this time. NEVER AGAIN. I do not know about the other franchised locations but this one is terrible. I'm sure Panda Express locations elsewhere are suffering from the mismanagement of this one. This location should be closed and sold. read more

It is Panda Express. Not sure what the issue is for some. I had a great experience. I love the new additions to the menu. The shrimp! The honey walnut shrimp is a bit too much for me, but anyone that loves the orange chicken should be all over it. Tons of fresh veggies, lots of choices. My one issue is the parking lot is a bit crazy. Oh and I wish it were closer to me instead of in Gainesville. read more

Always great food and fast service! I usually go through the drive through and I've always had a pleasant experiencez read more

This is the WORST Panda Express ever! I don't know what their problems are there but it never fails. Seems like since the beginning of of this year They NEVER have anything you go in for! For MONTHS they were out of their original Teriyaki sauce. And all they had were cheap imitation packets... At one point they were actually out of the Teriyaki chicken itself for a while. And half the time in between visits you never know what they will be out of next when you go there?! This most recent visit they were out of their Orange Chicken AND the Walnut Shrimp?! I mean what next? But to top it off you have to wait ages to go through the drive -thru only for them to tell you all of this! And Why?? And for the past 2 years since the Pandemic they haven't let anyone go inside to order... Even though every other store and eatery surrounding it is open!... Including the other "local" Panda Express location. Like what are they even in there doing?! Obviously not making food since they never have any! Why even bother to remain open?... They might as well just shut this place down. Its worthless. You'd be better off taking the extra time to Drive to the "Mall of Ga." area location. They are 99% of the time stocked on what this Gainesville location isn't! And you can actually go INSIDE personally and order your food! Even the locations that we visit out of town haven't had the issues we encounter here. Obviously the management must be worthlessness as well if they continue to let this go on? There's no reason for them to not allow customers to have the option to go inside now other than laziness or their in there goofing off since they are rarely stocked on anything. Sad too since this was a great location when they first opened. But, Don't waste your time at this location! (Unless you like doing that sort of thing)?! read more

Having to wait a ong time in line at drive thru to be told no food just limited items cause no cook came in on time.Then wast told to drive around to front and wait for food to be cooked.Waited for 19 mins only to get greens that had 3 pices of bocc and shedded cabbagge and onions and 2 pieces of mustard greens.Egg roll not cooked was raw in center.Not what we have been getting at all.Doors have been locked this wk and was told no assicates came in to work so no food being cook.We need a better answer than this. Love the food before but not this wk. read more

Good here is always under cooked, and hard, and they never have anything on there own menu, happens too often to count, I'm the fool for coming here so often and expecting some thing different read more

Waited in the drive through for almost 30 minutes for them to tell me I would have to wait even longer for food. How is that you don't have food constantly being made? Lady in the drive through was incredibly rude the whole time. She took our whole order and then proceeded to tell me it was going to be a wait even longer. 30 minutes in a drive through when there is only 5-6 cars max is ridiculous. read more

Super stoked to finally get one in Gainesville, food is great as always at Panda Express. Can't complain when getting great Chinese food quickly at a fair price. Seeing that they raise money for children's hospitals is always a plus. Keep it up! read more

We have been eating at this location since it opened and have always had good service until today. Might be worth the drive to another location for better service! I would have given a review using my receipt, but I didn't get one! Food quality was not normal and we were ignored even though we were standing in front of them! Not happy! read more

The food is great. Everyone is very friendly. They have fast service. Clean eating area. Clean restrooms. read more

Panda Express - Delicious food! - Chinese Near Me - Gainesville, Georgia

This is awful...I've eaten at Panda Express all over the country and always enjoyed it but this location had terrible food! Just awful....

I really like the Panda Express from Sugarloaf mills mall, so I decided to give this one a try. I don't understand how a chain of the same restaurant can have food that taste sooo different. I got the same dishes that I a usually get at the mall except that the food here is horrible. Complete waste of money. read more

We have eaten at a number of Panda Express Restaurants and we love them. After an appointment in Gainesville we stopped at the Pearl Nix location an ordered the orange chicken and chow mein. Well to put it mildly it was disgusting. Tasted like fish and the chicken had a very strange taste. Not spoiled, just strange. We threw both dinners out. So disappointed. I don't know what was wrong with this place but I am glad this is not the first Panda Express we ate at or I don't think we would ever try it again. read more

When this location first opened they were awesome. I'm a once a week drive thru customer and last three times I visited, the serving boxes got smaller and they don't even fill the smaller box up. You can tell the difference just by picking up the box, how much lighter it is. Food is good however. read more

I go to this panda pretty often, but was disappointed last time. I love the steak and mushroom entree, but it's always so fatty when you bite into it. My husband also loves the cabbage in the lo mein and always asks if the can grab a little extra for him. I kid you not, this time when we asked the associate ignored him and the team members proceeded to make fun of us via the head sets thinking we did not know. It's not a hard request and we've asked a million times. Why make fun of us? After that no one would make eye contact as we saw their drive thru headsets lighting up as they spoke and our person serving is trying not to laugh and avoid eye contact. Also two of the members clearly had the hots for each other and was flirting the entire time. This whole experience made my dining experience awkward. My food was lukewarm. read more

Tried online ordering for the first time. Order was not ready for pickup at time selected. Incorrect entrees received. Ordered wok fired shrimp and received honey walnut shrimp. If you hate honey, walnuts and didn't want fried food, what to do but trash it! 3 plates of incorrect food and too far to drive back to store means throwing away 28 dollars and eating a PB and J! I was excited when it opened but it seems to consistently disappoint. read more

Amazing service! I originally went through drive thru but since it was my first time there,Angel recommended for me to come inside to try free samples. He was amazing and very welcoming he let me try everything and gave me some recommendations on what to get and he did it all with a smile! Great customer service. It was amazing I'll be returning soon. read more

When they first open the food was good, now it just about as bad as it can get. The sauces are mostly salt and sugar. There is no layers to the taste of the food. The rice is mostly overcooked and salty with very little veggies added. I will not be going back to this location even in a pandemic. The people cooking are not properly trained to cook the food with flavor. read more

First time visit for all 4 of us. Very welcoming and helpful. They let vhf us try several items before ordering. We all got the walnut shrimp they are so good. The honey sesame chicken was good as well and the Angus beef and mushroom. I liked the lo mien noodles . Didn't care for the egg rolls or spring rolls both had to much ginger . Overall we liked it and would return for a quick bite to eat. Fast friendly service. read more
