    Hittin' Up The Drive-Thru
    Robert K.

    Headed over to Try the new menu items... I'll just stick to my Beef/Broccoli & Mushroom Chicken Combo... it's weird when you gotta count how many pieces you give me... Yes, talking about that new Cantonese BBQ Brisket.. It was ok.. Maybe i had a bad batch... I'll try it ONE MORE TIME! then, i'll definitely give that dish the honest review... Service is always good. Staff are fast and efficient. The restaurant always maintains a level of cleanliness. Good Job, Valkenburg Panda!

    I heard so much about the brisket that panda express was doing that I had to try it. I thought it was gonna be over the top, but it fell short. Lacked taste and could've been softer, but it is what it is for fast food.

    Not a fan, however its what my Mother Dearest request. The food at this location is always meet expectations. It's made fresh and consistent taste. The staff are always friendly, great and efficient service. The dining area always kept clean.

    Was hungry again, off to another eatery and why not Chinese food? Lez go... Shopping is exhausting and I wanna eat some comfort food that my tastebud is familiar with. Upon entering the staffs greeted us. A lot of plenty seats are what welcomes me and love how cleaned this location too. Even there comfort room was cleaned and smells good. Food: I got fried rice with lumpia & long beans with pork. It was oily & definitely tastes the MSG but oh boy, can't go wrong with this combo. It was so ONOLICIOUS! The dishes were tasty and flavorful. The lumpia filling was seasoned well. Kudos to the chef! Thank you for cooking the food. My hungry tummy enjoyed it so much. Kinda like this location. Would surely be back! Mahalo for reading & happy juandering fellow Yeeps.

    So is the chow mein, actually chow mein or cabbage salad with a side of cow mein noodles?
    Javaine G.

    This is kind of ridiculous that a side starch made to complement an entree is made with this type of quality. I remember when chow mein was actually chow mein and not all cabbage, onions, and celery.

    Crispy Sesame Shrimp w/chow mein

    $10.20 for the "bowl" , too expensive for such a small portion. Also paid $3.10 for a large water, same as a soda, told it was the price of the cup. You can get better food for a fairer portion elsewhere- and this was their newest dish. What a disappointment.

    Drive through menu
    Mel S.

    Solid Panda. The same as every other Panda flavors which is exactly what I wanted. A nicer inside seating area than most panda's and friendly drive through staff. A good go-to quick bite with healthy portions.

    Bowl- honey walnut shrimp, chow fun and fried rice
    Lynelle G.

    First off, this bowl was $14. The honey walnut shrimp was mushy. The fried rice and chow fun was mediocre at best. This was definitely not worth $14. To say I'm disappointed is an understatement.

    Ordering through the Wendy's app is fast and easy. I was able to redeem my free birthday chocolate…read morefrosty for my birthday so I am a happy camper. I also like to order from the app because there are always deals or combos you can get at an app exclusive price. I also enjoy collecting rewards points for free food one day. These definitely come in handy when you're short in cash one week and needing a little pick me up! I ordered the chicken sandwich times two for my roomies to share and one order came with fries. I was able to choose another frosty for the drink option. I didn't try the sandwich myself but my roommate said it was really good quality.

    Horrible for everything. Fries were old, burger was salty…read more(has anyone ever gotten an over salted fast food burger?) We were actually supposed to get a caesar salad but got a Cobb salad, I said it was fine. However, the multiple strands of hair in the salad made me throw everything away. When we called the manager he said they would remake it, I had already said we weren't driving back. Especially after what we just had. I asked for a refund, he said he'd call the district manager to see if we were able to. Didn't ask for my name or number to get back to me, just said to call back later. Been coming here for years, not coming back which is disappointing but now I see why there's so many 1 star reviews

    "Eat some breakfast, change the world later". - Hairspray…read more Had some business to do in and around the airport this morning. It was early so we decided to pop into McDonald's here on N. Nimitz Hwy. We dined in. The interior was clean, orderly and spacious. Considering it's next to the airport, they would need the extra room to accommodate a large group of people. It's 24/7, so if you're here in the area they've got you. The drive thru was wrapped around the building. It's 6:15am and understandably, people are off to work and getting breakfast before hand. They have the touch screen kiosks to place orders yourself or you can order from the counter. They were busy inside as well but, the workers all did their best to accommodate all the orders. We had a typical McDonald's breakfast of sausage McMuffin with eggs, OJ and hash browns. Delicious! The restroom was clean and immaculate. I would return if I'm ever in the area again. Please stop by, enjoy and be patient. The Employees are trying their best.

Now, all I ordered was a simple Mcdouble and a Large mocha frappe.... IT TOOK NEARLY 40min for my order to come out! WTH ‍ Drive-thru coordinator was nice and patient. And LITERALLY that was the ONLY good part of it. Next thing you know, i pulled up to pay with cash - $9.19 ~ I drove forward to pick up my food. There I was... SEATING IN MY CAR WAITING FOR NEARLY 40min for a simple order! I saw a woman employee looking at me forth and back like 8-9 times and laughing for some type of weird reason and not doing like how she's supposed to work in the service industry. Worst of all, after making me wait nearly 40min, they go and tell me "oh sir, our frappe machine is now in cleaning mode. Would you like something else in replacement?" IM LIKE WHY THE F DID Y'ALL MAKE ME WAIT 40min FOR NO REASON AT ALL AND TOOK THAT LONG TO TELL ME??! THEY ALSO TOOK ANOTHER 8min TO GIVE MY PARTIAL REFUND BACK.... I've lived here for 20yrs now and this is by far THE WORST & THE SLOWEST MCDONALD SERVICE. If y'all want to take a challenge on wasting 35-40min of your precious time waiting for a small order to be given, totally up to you. But be warned, they don't apologize nor be respectful at any circumstances... TRULY DISAPPOINTED AND UPSET AT THIS LOCATION.

The chicken skin had a nice crunch to it and the meat was juicy (not super oily, but juicy.) The mashed potatoes and gravy weren't bad. They were not super fluffy but a little more on the dense side. (Nothing bad, just dense.) The gravy was somewhat runny with just the right amount of saltiness. The spaghetti was surprisingly good! It's been a few years since I've gone to a Jolly Bee and I had imagined the spaghetti to only be sweet and savory. It was actually pretty good! (Not in an Italian way though. It was a little spicy, which I loved! I wasn't expecting it to be spicy so it was a very pleasant surprise! It was a tad sweet...just the right amount! (There isn't a 3-piece combo on the menu, but the server was kind enough to accommodate my request for an extra piece of chicken.) It came with a container of gravy that made me wonder what it was for, immediately. Then I remembered all the commercials and YouTube videos where food reviewers either slathered their chicken with the gravy or they dunked it into the gravy. I was so hungry that I forgot for a few seconds that the gravy was for the chicken, thus I drank most of the gravy!! The dining area is constantly cleaned and draws a diverse crowd. Because it is at the beginning of downtown it does attract some homeless people as well. But, that's life in the big city, right? When I went to the restroom I found it amusing that a male Jollibee employee was changing his shirt. It seemed he was done for the day. Overall, it was a pleasant meal.

I arrived around 5:40 PM, but getting into the parking lot took longer than expected because of the very long drive-thru line and limited parking. Once inside, I waited about 5 minutes at the counter before anyone acknowledged me. I was the only customer waiting inside. I even stood near the online pickup area for a while, hoping someone would ask if I needed help, but several employees walked by without acknowledging me. Two cashiers looked in my direction multiple times but continued their conversation instead of checking whether I was waiting for an order. I finally interrupted to let them know I was there for an online pickup and gave them my name. Unfortunately, there seemed to be confusion about my order. One employee pointed to another, who then pointed back to the first employee while continuing to prepare food. No one was able to tell me whether my order was ready. Thankfully, an employee wearing a different colored shirt (a manager I'm assuming) noticed I hadn't been helped. She immediately apologized, asked for my name, checked on my order, and informed the kitchen that more chicken needed to be prepared. Shortly after, another manager also stepped in, apologized, and helped get everything together. I finally left with my order at 6:09 PM, nearly 40 minutes after my scheduled pickup time. The food was fresh, delicious, and the restaurant itself was clean, which is why I'm giving 5 stars for the food and cleanliness. However, this isn't the first time I've had to wait an unusually long time just to be acknowledged for an online pickup. In the past, my food has at least been ready once someone finally helped me. This visit was different because not only was I ignored, but my order also wasn't ready. I understand that restaurants are fast-paced environments and that unexpected staffing shortages can happen if someone calls out sick. However, there appeared to be plenty of staff working during my visit. My concern wasn't the number of employees--it was the lack of communication, urgency, and teamwork. I believe additional customer service and workflow training could help employees become more productive and ensure that customers, especially those picking up online orders, are acknowledged promptly. A simple greeting such as, "We'll be right with you," or "Let me check on your order," would have made a significant difference. Good communication goes a long way and leaves customers feeling valued, even during busy times.

We were disappointed because we were expecting really good food since this place was feature on cheap eats & a few other local social media creators IG pages. The price point is good for the amount they give. There are other locations on Oʻahu if you're interested. The vibe of this place is very laid back.
