The shift leader with blonde hair was really nice and respectful. She made us feel very welcome and provided us with great options knowing it was our first time. 10/10 would come back ! read more

victoria took very good care of me and my friends and made sure my food was full and warm, next time i come i hope to see her again as a manager. She looked passionate about her work and definitely deserves a raise. read more

if you feel like watching one woman bust her ass while the managers work the cashier than this is a perfect restaurant for you. Waited 10 minutes in line to get my order taken, was only two guests in front of me. Y'all need to help Victoria out, she was the only one working hard. Give that girl the Gm spot, I heard her at the cash register and she asked if they would like to round up tk a dollar to support whatever. The manager who checked me out didn't ask me that! Victoria is on point, give her more responsibility. Without Victoria rating: 2 Stars read more

Victoria hands down needs a raise. She was fast, knowledgeable, and personable. Food was great, she made the order with kindness after an extremely hard day, and she was smooth and quick with it. I appreciate her attentiveness her personality and her hard work. Thank you Victoria for making a difference in a simple interaction. you put a smile on a moms face and made dinner easy for my family after a tough day. You are awesome. Also I never write reviews but felt compelled to give her the flowers she deserves from one industry gal to another. Xo read more

Left people waiting in the store while they prioritized online orders for people not even in the store. Not even and acknowledgment or be right with you. 10-20min waiting. Customers started walking out. Very sad. read more

Just wanted to share my awesome experience at Panda Express! It's usually super busy, but lately, it's been even better thanks to their new staff. I especially want to give a huge shoutout to Sol,she's incredibly friendly, has such a great personality, and is always so kind! They're really on top of things. Everything's usually ready at the counter, and if something's not looking fresh, they'll make it fresh right then and there no worries! The place is always clean, too, even when there's a line out the door. You get to choose your serving size bowl, plate, or large plate and your base, white rice, fried rice, super greens, or chow mein. You can even mix and match! As for the protein, there are tons of options. The orange chicken is a classic for a reason it's delicious! The teriyaki chicken is another great choice, and they give you extra sauce on the side. The honey walnut shrimp is tasty but is a small upcharge. The black pepper sirloin is yummy but tends to be a bit more veggies than meat,that's been my experience at all Panda Express locations.If you have a sweet tooth, the sweet fire chicken,think sweet and sour, is the way to go. The Beijing beef is also good a little spicy, but not too much. Don't forget your fortune cookie! They've got all the usual sauces too, soy sauce, chili sauce, hot mustard, teriyaki, and sweet and sour. Their spring rolls are decent, but I'd skip the egg rolls. Seriously, this Panda Express is great, and if you're lucky enough to get Sol helping you, you're in for a treat! read more

Food was on time. Food quality is terrible. The chow mien was clumpy, hard and dry, as if it'd been cooked 3 days ago. The rice was just as dry and tasteless. One star for the ok meat and another star for preparedness. read more

Panda Express - a white styrofoam container filled with rice, meat, and vegetables - Chinese Near Me - Hoffman Estates, Illinois

I got off pretty late from work and walked in at about 8:40 ( there was many people there too). I ordered a plate and wanted fried rice. The worker girl looks at me and rolls her eyes before telling me it would be about 5 mins. read more

By far the worst experience I ever had at a Panda Express. The garbage was over flowing with trash. Dirty tables and trash on the floor. Went to the counter to tell the worker and asked who the manager was. He just Looked at me. They did send a worker out to clean tables but a customer shouldn't have to tell employees to clean. Not friendly people working. They didn't say a word to me when told it was a mess. read more

I love Panda Express but I just can't deal with this location, I had being help by Yuridia and she has a very rude attitude, I asked her for fresh item cause the one under the heat lamp looked over cooked, she said it will be like 4 mins, and I said okay, I'll wait but then I just turned arround and she said your food was ready! And k was like I though you said 4 mins. And she didn't say anything, so she served me the old overcooked food that was there. And don't even try to speak with the manager, he is also a very rude person with the worst attitude you can find in a human being. read more

Food was good and service was fast but $9 for a bowl of rice with 5 small pieces of chicken is ridiculous. Won't be returning.

Says open but imagine my surprise when I got to the door and found a hand written note from a four year old that said "closed... for an hour or so" ???? At 12:30 pm on a Thursday? Also what does an hour or so mean??? There's no time on the note and for all we know it's been up for hours.... read more

Panda Express - Front door - Chinese Near Me - Hoffman Estates, Illinois

Went out to dinner with my friend and his kids. I have to say that the service was not the best. And my friend found hair is his food that was not any of ours and when we informed the staff and unwillingly but gave him a plate that wasn't even a plate the cook was defiantly nice and hospitable. Have to say I won't be coming here again. read more

Food is good but when you order a bowl they give you mostly rice and barely any meat.

Amazing customer service. Most generous scoops I've ever seen in my life anywhere. My family will be fed until next Christmas. 10/10 would recommend!! read more

This place is a joke. I would rather drive twice as far to go to the one in Dundee. I keep coming back every so often and always the same issues...slow service, workers going at the speed of a ice freezing..and tonight issues with picking up an online order. I stood in line for 20 min because there is nothing telling you what you need to do to pick up an order, and every worker looks at the floor so there's no chance you might catch their eye to ask a question. And the manager...again same issues with him. It's really sad that the corporate group would allow their reputation to be crushed by this place. read more

I came here after a baseball tournament and can honestly say that it was my first experience at a Panda Express. The place is clean and the folks are very friendly inside. Now, I'm known for partaking in spicy foods and they catered to that! I ordered the Peppercorn Shrimp and asked for a little more kick to it. They added some pepper sauce that did just the trick! Thanks for catering! Everything on the side was great and fresh tasting. I'd definitely go back! read more

Worst location ever. Submitted an order and took them 1/2 hr to notify the customer that they have not received an order. Made sure I respected the employees by following social distancing and wearing ppe. I had to ask them multiple times after patiently waiting only to get an unaccountable answer. Very unprofessional and poorly handled and I will make sure after this experience to never step foot into a Panda Express every again. As a follow up, Shame on the online app for Panda Express for giving a confirmation number and wasting the customers precious time! Don't harass people especially during this dangerous time read more

If I could give them no stars I would!! Went into eat and looked on the door to see if there were any signs about these mandates, I didn't see anything! Ordered our food went to sit down and they asked for our vex card when we said we didn't have it they said we had to leave, soo we asked for our money back and they said no we can't do that but you can't eat in hear either!! Maybe Post it on you door where ppl can see it before ppl order!! And don't have such a crapy attitude toward ppl. That come in to get food. People came in after us and they said you need a mask, you can't come in without a mask, I mean seriously! I will never go back to this location and I hope they close!! Go to the restaurant that are standing up for our constitutional right!! !! read more

I love pandas and I love chicken! I love Panda Express. The service was wonderful, best birthday ever. read more

Panda Express - Chinese Near Me - Hoffman Estates, Illinois

This is BY FAR the worst-run restaurant anywhere in the Milky Way Galaxy. You literally can't get worse than this. Service is so slow, always backed up, always out of food. The manager just looks at you when you complain. Corporate apparently doesn't care as they would have shut this fiasco down years ago. What a complete and utter disgrace. Someone -- anyone -- PLEASE shut this place down! read more

By far the best food I have ever had at a Panda Express. And the only panda express I've ever been to where the plain rice was not dry. read more

This Panda Express location is by far the worst I have ever been to. I placed my order online and requested it would be ready 35 minutes later. I arrived at the restaurant 40 minutes later and I still had to wait another 15 minutes. My order was not ready, they did not read the notes I put with my order and did not give me the chili sauce I requested with my order. I ordered beef and broccoli. The broccoli was not even half way cooked. I do not even want to give this location one star. One of the workers that gave me my food was very rude. As soon as I received my order he was yelling at me the whole time I was walking out he kept repeating, not to snatch it out of his hand. Unbelievably, very unprofessional. I will not be back to this location again!!!!!!! read more

Very delicious food and friendly staffs. They always give more than enough food for one grown man. Love to stop by when I work near by. read more

I take back all the jabs I made at Panda Express. I gave in to checking out Panda Express after an exhausting day. What grabbed me about it is actually the freshness of the food. I saw covered crates of freshly cut vegetables at the back of the open kitchen. Wow, not frozen. Fresh. And cut daily. The portions are generous, and truly quite delicious. The shrimp in Honey Walnut Shrimp is HUGE and wonderfully battered. To me, to be a decent Chinese eatery, the noodles have to be done right -- not soggy. Panda Express delivered on flavor and consistency. I'll take the noodles over rice any day. Lotfi is the manager at this location, and he's a wonderful man. The husband and I had a nice, short chat with him. We will certainly return, and it's definitely not for lack of ideas anymore. read more

I came to this Panda with my class of 8 students whom have special needs. The staff was very helpful and accommodating. The food was delicious as well :)! read more

So to get started I barely ever take my time to write out a review but I had no choice as this location has been nothing short of a horrible experience every time. This was the fourth time I came to this location and every single time I am asked to wait for "fresh" Chow-mien. Every time I end up waiting for 10 mins and this time around, food was out and everyone ahead of me was served and I'm looking for my order and was confronted by the rude manager. I don't think he was even interpreting what I was telling him. The attitude of all the employees there is unacceptable to say the least. read more

Another bad review well this time they actually made me late I honestly thought this place was fast I had 30min break took 7min to get to this location they stalled didn't have things in order so it took a total of 17 min to check out honestly they need new management this is outrageous now traveling back with only 6min can't even eat now smh never again pandas you lost me completely read more

Checked menu options PRIOR to my arrival. Upon arrival, I ordered the tofu eggplant bowl. I was told they do not have tofu. I asked why their menu states that they do. Employee advised me that their menu does NOT say that. After pulling up their menu and showing the employee that their establishment does, in fact, advertise a tofu bowl, she advised that that must only be for certain locations. I then inquired if they had any vegetarian options and was told "No..,pretty much everything has meat". EPIC FAIL PANDA.....EPIC FAIL....... read more

Nothing beats Chinese style fast food like Panda Express. Nothing fancy just a quick place to go for Chinese food when one is hungry and on a tight budget. The food is nothing out of the ordinary, but there is always something good about the food at Panda Express. I don't know what it is, maybe it is the MSG, but I am always drawn to this place whenever I'm at some food court at some mall. Forget the other places in the food court, as soon as I see the Panda Express sign, I am drawn like a mosquito to a flame. Once they give you a free sample of their Orange Chicken, so perfectly glazed with their spiced honey sauce, then they got you trapped. read more

Been here a couple of times & every time it's something or the foods off but today I stopped by around 8:20 and i ask for honey walnut shrimp and they said theres no more for tonight ?? okay whatever, then i let them know im also getting cream cheese rangoons and spring rolls and they say they're yre not cooking that anymore? but rangoons and spring-rolls don't take that long, maybe what 7 mins ? nd i know bcs i work at a Chinese restaurant in the kitchen so um what? so i go to order orange chicken and they are scrapping the bottom of the pan when keep in mind theres about 2-3 more customers behind us, ofc its early, so one of the employees ask how much longer and the cook says 7 mins with an attitude? For my plate i asked for half and half and noticed that i only got chow mein when i got home. Definitely worth the drive to the one in South Elgin!! read more

I know it's fast food but it was so bland. It's sad that you order 2 spicy dishes and the best part is the bland brown rice that you mixed in a packet of nasty chili sauce. 1st and last time. Gross. Tables were dirty too. Would it be too much to spray some sanitizer and wipe that off? read more

I placed an online order for 2 meals, one included teriyaki chicken. Unfortunately they didn't have any teriyaki chicken so I asked for a refund as I didn't have time to wait 15 min for a fresh batch. There was lots of confusion about how to refund for an online order. Eventually they decided to just give me cash - which was fine, I left with just the 1 meal then. Later the manager called (phone number is on the online order) to say they felt really bad and in fact had issued a full refund to my credit card. I was quite impressed they took the time to do that. Great customer service - I'll come back. read more

As far as Panda experiences go, this is probably one of the best Pandas. Clean sit down environment and in a nice area. The service was fast and the portion sizes are huge. For fast food Chinese food, it's really good. read more

The people working there are friendly and very attentive and professional. Overall cleanliness was very good and the food is always great! I took my sister-in-law from out of the country she was visiting us and she enjoyed the food. She said in her country of El Salvador there are no panda express. I try to eat healthy so I tried most of the chicken dishes and they're very flavorful my favorite is teriyaki chicken with sauce on the side and I get the brown rice. I eat there at least once a week and I always enjoyed my visit. read more

Myself and a co-worker ate here on Monday and by Tuesday we were both violently sick. They say it was food poisoning possibly salmonella. The item we both ate were the egg rolls/spring rolls. I won't be eating there again. read more

I walked into today, two employees arguing with each other, not greeted right away at 545. E ery tune U have been here, nothing is ready. I always have to wait to be made. Today was the straw that broke the camels back. I can't understand why when it's a dinner rush, you can't have it hot and ready. Everything I wanted was out. Ibam no longer going to this location. I will go to St.Charles or order from my local resteraunt. I have called and complained. This is ridiculous. read more

I waited over 45 minutes for my food. I tried to get my money back, but the manager said "no". The manager was very rude and said I had to wait. I could not leave because I already paid, the manager would not refund my money, and my family was waiting for dinner. I will never return to this Panda Express. read more

Horrible customer service. In spite of covid 19 I am extra patient and understanding of the people who have to work in these circumstances but 10 minutes after I was told my food would he ready I get "IT AINT READY" as a response. If you do not want to work in customer service under any circumstance - DON'T! read more

I went on a stroll to get a quick bite. Doors were closed till 11:30. I waited in my car for 1 hour just to see some employee pull up and finally open the doors. Once I went in, the manager gave me a smirk and it seemed like he didn't want me there. The manager began yelling at the workers(especially the cook). I think the managers name was Lofti or something but he is definitely not made to run any sort of business. The servers were friendly .They had a wonderful attitude and were very quick and efficient on my order. Food was fresh but, it was ridiculous how long I had to wait for it to be prepared. read more
