    Panda.. what is this? You are ok with serving this to your customers? For reference, this is what string bean chicken is supposed to look like....

    This pandas gets pretty busy at dinner time. I'm writing this review on my last experience here. I went with my mom and she had a coupon through the app so we just tried to confirm with them that it would be valid. The employee asked another lady who I guess was maybe the manager or supervisor and she had that she would help us once she was done with what she was doing. Then she proceeded to pull us out of the line to ask us more about the coupon and then told us ok. I don't know what the reason was for pulling us out of the line as no other customers needed up passing us and we had already ordered the starches for the plates. The portions for everything seems to be getting smaller and smaller every time I go.

    I will never eat here again. I ate here this past Saturday. I suffered a severe case of food poisoning. I was down for 5 days. I was dehydrated fainted in my bathroom hit my head, sprained my foot and ended up in the emergency room. This is unacceptable!

    Pops gotta have his Panda Express grub! Notice da bonus container? I filled out da survey to get an extra entrée. DEALAGES Yo!

    Whenever I do my shopping at Costco Hawaii Kai, I sometimes stop by this Panda Express for some Chinese fast food grub since it's in the same shopping complex. Is da grub for me? Nope! But for some strange reason, my pops really digs Panda, so several times a week I would buy him a plate to satisfy his Chinese fast food craving. Da two things I like about Panda's - 1. The Chinese fast food selection is made fresh, and there is a pretty good food selection. 2. I no need cook for my dad, and he is very happy whenever I bring him home a Panda plate! Lol! For you folks who are not Panda pro's like me, let Bruddah Fran give you da scoops and strategy about going to Panda's......... Rule numba #1 - Save da receipt & go online and take da survey. Why do I tell you folks this? Cuz if you do da survey, Panda's will send you a code to your email address for a free entrée! Can we say DEALAGES Yo???? Rule numba #2 - Skip da starch (I'm talkin' about rice, noodles, & chow fun) because what local family doesn't have rice or noodles at home? Just get da Super Greens so that way you get more vegetables, you can always get your starch from home. Rule numba #tree (3) - Again, if you did da survey like Bruddah Fran told you to do...........when you buy your plate, you buy da 2 entrée plate, but wait! Since you filled out da survey, you can get one free bonus entrée, therefore it's like getting a tree (3) choice plate, but you payin' for a 2 choice plate! DEALAGES Yo!!! Das da 'ol Hawaiian Trick! Buwahahahahahaha! You'll thank me for it later when you go to Panda's! Buwahahahahahaha! Anyways, although I'm not a Panda eater, the food here makes my pops happy, and that's all I care about. :D

    Got great service here on a Saturday evening at 8pm. This place accommodates their patrons by quickly cooking requested menu items and adding more to your plate. They really treat you like a valued customer unlike other Pandas. Plenty of parking, this place is right next to the Ross Dress for Less. Also noticed that the kitchen and dining area were spotless, which is another plus. I'll definitely be visiting this location when I'm visiting my parents in this part of town.

    Plate missing orange chicken

    We ordered using the Panda Express app and have never had any issues with our orders. This is the first time we had an error with our order. Ordered a plate with orange chicken and honey walnut shrimp but we did not get orange chicken despite the ticket on the plate shows that we ordered orange chicken. Unfortunately did not see this until we got home.

    I definitely love eating Panda express. We happened to be in the neighborhood and hubby got us all kids meals..I got half and half. I got fried rice and thick chow fun noodles. My main course was mushroom chicken which is my favorite dish here. This was delicious. Ordering was quick and easy. There's a Coke fountain drink station. I'm a major coke fan mostly diet coke or coke zero but I saw mango fruit black tea which was delicious and wasn't too sweet. Plenty of tables inside to sit and a single restroom in the back.. Parking is up front. I definitely would come back here if in the area..

    See all that black? Thats all burnt pieces & some eggs were burnt too

    We were on this side on Saturday & my kids wanted to eat pandas. So i searched up the nearest one & it showed this location. PARKING: HUGE parking lot but gets really busy. SERVICE: I do like that enforce 6 feet apart & so much can be in at a time. To be honest i wouldnt have think that any if the food was burnt because that never happens & you cant really tell until you look at the food in your plate. So when we left & ate our food at a park/beach. We noticed a burnt smell when we opened our plates. The fried rices was straight up nasty, if you look closer you can see black stuff inside. We couldnt enjoy eating our food so we ended up just eating the sides. What a waste.

    If you don't know where to eat, just grab something at PE! Big deal, no time to be choosy, what's important is that you gotta take away the feeling of being hungry/hangry. You gotta feed your tummy! Ordered a plate. Broccoli, chicken w/ green beans that swam in oil, & chicken.... simplest lunch before doing our Costco grocery. T'was pretty good. Love how they cook the broccoli though. It's flavorful & ain't salty. The garlicky flavor compliments well. The chicken dish is mediocre on the other hand. But good enough to fill in my tummy. Though the green beans is too greasy for me, it's still flavorful. They cooked the beans a lil bit too much but still it's okay for me. Not a bad lunch for that chilly afternoon. Next time I'll make sure to come in Costco after lunch so that I won't be having indecisive mind on where to eat. There ain't a lot of choices for dining in Hawaii Kai Towne Center so I'd be better off eating at home next time. Customer service is just okay. Pretty straightforward & no time for de-le-da-ling. I get it. And at that time, I don't care either. LoL. I just need to have my plate coz GERD starts acting already! Mahalo for reading & happy juandering fellow yelpers!

We had to order one of their sig crab dishes, and we rounded out the meal w/ beef and long beans, sweet & sour pork belly, eggplant and fried rice. The crab was amazing! The curry sauce was so deep & complex. In addition, the crab was fresh bc they have tanks in the restaurant. Of course I called dibs on the head, and it was packed with goodies. I added rice to the head (in Ilocano this is called "labay", adding rice to soup or broth to extend the meal). I was in heaven. The other dishes were all big portions and very good. The meat was tender, and the veggies were fresh and crunchy. I believe all the other dishes were ~ $20/each. The staff was super nice. We didn't have a res, but luckily we were seated in 20 min on a busy Sun night. Regarding the dining area, its tight but comfy. You have to wash your hands after, and the bathrooms are clean. I will def return the next time I come home. I want to try another crab dish (about 8 versions), and build a meal around the crab.

The texture is more enjoyable when eating. Flat noddle - would have prefer to be more wide in size. Had the beef noodle classic -flavor in broth was decent, but could use with additional pickle vegetables to bring some sour and cut the richness of the broth. beef itself was very tender and came in separate bowl. Breakdown easily. not spicy at all though. next dish tried - was the pickle fish noodle - first time trying to dish anywhere. Surprisingly preferred this over the beef noodle. a little bit of sour, but just the right amount with the creamy broth mix. This with the chewy noodle was bomb. Highly recommended* price - reasonable for quality - but could have more noodle for quantity*
