    I would say this is a nice location they have flexible seating areas variety Barstool High seating bench seating more intimate seating at the back and they used to have a boba bar but they close down probably it cost too much to run and they need the employee is working in the other areas but that's fine the lines can get super long and portions are inconsistent some people scoop more generously While others follow the corporate scooping which is be very skimpy and pick very small pieces you know what I mean there's Panda Express this tattoo that but I wish they would be more generous with their portions just my personal opinion but all in all a nice place order ahead if you need to go as much faster

    (+) Orange Chicken (+) Quality Panda Innovative Kitchen is different than your local Panda branch because they roll out their newest entrees and goodies here before they go to all the branch locations. I do notice a difference in quality and taste here. The food tastes fresh and the taste is consistent compared to your local branch. This location does get busy during meal hours, so be prepared to wait a little longer than anticipated. Food/Drinks: This location does serve teas and other sweet drinks. I've had their mango tea before and thought it was fresh and well done. As mentioned before, the quality here is top notch. The fried rice is consistent and cooked well. It isn't too hard nor mushy. Who likes mushy rice?? My favorite dish of all time is the orange chicken. Tangy sweet and sour sauce covering the crispy deep fried chicken piece is to die for. I also enjoy their broccoli beef and Beijing beef. Both dishes are tasty and good over rice. Service/Ambiance: Panda's service is always top notch. I favor restaurants that are kind and make ordering efficient and enjoyable. Their attitude is to serve their customers well and it shows on their face and demeanor. Overall, I prefer this location over all other Panda branches. I do eat panda 3-4x a month, so I know this location does it well.

    After a week of Yelping that had my scale working overtime, I needed a quick,convenient and conscious dining option. I made my way to the local Panda Express Innovation Kitchen. ​I ordered a bowl with Grilled Chicken and substituted the rice for Super Greens as my side. The meal was not too bad; it was exactly what is expected from Panda Express--reliable, hot, and satisfying. ​Despite visiting during the dinner time rush, the line moved fast, and the staff was friendly. The dining area was busy, reflecting the location's popularity. The dining area was busy with lots of local families.

    It's been 4 years or so since I ate here but it's my favorite Panda by far. They used to have this Panda Wrap - it was made with a tortilla like wrap. It's more similar to the wrap used for Moo Shu Pork. You got it filled with whatever items & they'd wrap it as a big burrito. So good!! Well, I was disappointed they no longer have this on their menu. It was around 8pm so that could be why but the food just didn't taste as good as it used to be. This is Panda Express's Innovative Kitchen so they have menu items that aren't offered at other Panda stores. I didn't see anything unique aside from the Quinoa Fried Rice that night but again, it was past primo dinner time. I ordered my usual Eggplant Tofu, Shrimp with Walnuts & Quinoa Fried Rice. Eggplant Tofu seemed to be a bit bland, I wanted to add more salt(?) or something to the sauce. Shrimp with Walnuts was just okay. I actually didn't finish my meal which is rare because I love Panda Express out of all fast food stores. I'll come back in a couple of months & go closer to 6pm to see if it's any better. Side note: they have a tea store on the side of the main part of the restaurant that serves different kinds of tea & beverages and some desserts which was closed when I went. Will also try them again next time I go!

    Was served quickly, staff was friendly, food was hot and fresh, but most of the tables in the restaurant were dirty and needed cleaning. Good meal with a birthday discount.

    We enjoyed our meal once again! The food was delicious as always, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the staff were very friendly. We'll definitely be back!

    The Bing.  Bing (bin) in Chinese means pancake or wrap.
    David M.

    It's been awhile since I ate at this Innovation Kitchen location and since I was shopping in the area, I decided to pop in and try 'the Bing' (no, not the search engine that 5% of Americans use) and the impossible orange chicken. My take, skip 'the Bing' and just stick to the usual plate since it's the normal plate contents wrapped in a burrito. It's just a tortilla (and not a good one). Perhaps if they used thin green onion pancakes, it would taste better but that's not going to happen. The impossible orange chicken was alright. May be better as you get less of those larger pieces of orange chicken only to find it's all batter... Check out my pics.

    I placed my order online and went to pick it up. The portion size was not a lot at all considering I ordered two portions of vegetables. For the entrees they were slimy tasting and not cooked that well. The Kung Pao chicken was cold. I would not recommend. The quality used to be so much better. I am not sure what happened. The service was okay. The inside was nice and full of seating and very clean.

It's honestly become part of our weekly routine. However, I wanted to share a not-so-great experience we had today regarding the service. I called in a takeout order, and when I arrived, there was a new cashier. She was on her phone texting and didn't acknowledge us for quite a while, so we had to wait before being helped. When it came time to pay, I simply asked to confirm whether the cash discount had already been applied. Her response came with a noticeably rude attitude. While I was trying to find the exact change, she seemed visibly impatient. After receiving some coins I didn't need, I placed them in the tip jar. She immediately took them out and said in a very cold tone, "Please take it back, I don't need your tips." Honestly, that was surprising and quite uncomfortable -- it's the first time I've encountered such unfriendly service here. We still really enjoy the food and appreciate the owner, but I hope the service experience can improve moving forward.

And... include the Mama Chen's Chinese Chicken Salad while they're at it.

It consisted of lettuce, avocado, corn, black beans, jicama, tomatoes, onion, quinoa, krispies, kale, cilantro, and cotija. The lettuce wasn't too fresh and there were some that were yellow green but not a big deal. It was packed with flavor even without the chipotle vinaigrette (relieved I got it on the side because I wasn't s big fan). The avocado was very fresh and plentiful. I added chicken for extra $4.74 and it was very tender! Overall, I enjoyed the salad but a bit pricey so it was a good one time experience! The Chicken Pesto Caprese ($14.10) was pretty good. It consisted of chicken, mozzarella, red peppers, pesto, and mixed greens. The greens were very fresh and the sandwich was packed with flavor. The chicken was a little dry but not a big deal. There was a lot of red pepper and it was a bit overwhelming so I wished there wasn't so much. Really enjoyed the pesto since it it wasn't too salty and was the cherry on top to the sandwich! I also really liked that the bread was soft and fresh. Got the "Not so Fried" Chicken Sandwich ($13.68) - 1/2 portion and it came with a side (paid extra $1.26) for tomato basil soup. It consisted of chicken, krispies, mustard pickle slaw, tomatoes, onions, and herb aioli. The bread was very fresh and soft. I'm glad I got this in half portion because I thought this was just ok and nothing special. The tomato basil soup was very oily and salty so wasn't too enjoyable. The Pomegranate Mint Lemonade ($5.10) was sooo sweet. It was refreshing but the mint was a little too overpowering. Definitely recommend adding ice and/or water otherwise it's way too sweet! Overall, the sandwich and salads were a bit pricey but definitely one of the better spots for sandwiches and salads in terms of quality and quantity!

I tried the Chicken Caesar Wrap and the Margherita Pizza. My most candid thoughts: Margherita Pizza: This resembled more of a flat bread than a pizza. The sauce they used tasted like tomato pasta sauce from a jar and not necessarily pizza sauce. The dough tasted somewhat undercooked and thick, and the sauce and cheese did not stick well to the dough. Very bland in flavor. Huge portion though for the price. 5.5/10 Chicken Caesar Wrap: Very underwhelming as the chicken tasted dry and rough. I really liked the Spicy Caesar sauce though. It really spiced things up and added more flavors to the bland wrap. Portion was great and lettuce was fresh. I loved that they added avocados. However, it was definitely not the best Chicken Caesar wrap I've ever had and I would most definitely not be dying to order it again. 7/10 Parking is convenient as there is a free lot nearby. No seating inside as it's take out only.
